~ An unpleasant smell of cigarettes and booze-filled the air, my stomach turned and somehow I regret my decision to come here. The bar was filled to the brim and it was hard avoiding the lustful glares that accompanied us as we walked in. We sat down at the bar and were offered drinks by the barman. "Good time to be alive." Linda downed three glasses of the shot when I had barely touched mine."Hey! Why the face? Drink up, girl." She urged me and I sipped but finally gulped the entire liquid in my throat which gave a burning sensation in my chest. "Another one." The barman presented yet another shot of tequila. "Bestie, I want to use the restroom." I nodded but we both knew she had been returning stares of a blonde girl who had been throwing flirty glances her way. "Be careful." I dropped and focused on the shot of tequila standing in front of me. I downed the second shot of tequila and left the bar to sit at the other corner, I was getting drunk. Getting drunk was the last
Maria POV It was another busy day as my eyes flung open begrudgingly from bed. My alarm had rung several times before I lazily slammed it shut and jumped out of bed wearing my pink flip-flops."Oh shit!" I exclaimed, rubbing my eyes, and making my way to the bathroom for a quick wash. The feeling of failure was tugging at my heart. Getting a job at MTC is a dream come true and I better don't mess it up. I was hoping to get a promotion. How does that come to fruition when I'm going to work late? After turning on the faucet in the shower and enjoying a peaceful bath. I got out of the shower, grabbed a towel wiping my skin clean, and admired my sexy body in the long-length mirror in the bathroom while I applied ointment to my hair. Walking out of the bathroom I hurriedly wore my black suit and put the last finishing touches to my makeup as I took my bag, collected my car keys, and walked down to the kitchen for some early morning coffee. MTC provides lunch to workers and
**** It was past 2:50pm. I prepared the presentation hurriedly within a heartbeat. I went through Rosie's previous work file and there were some helpful hints. It wasn't as hard as I thought. Cheers to that! I have already called Pillari International to let them know in a few minutes we will be arriving for the meeting as scheduled by 3pm. It was shocking when Mr. Bill took me along in his Private Jet. It's not a shock he had one because he was wealthy but the fact the company we're going to was located in Santa-Dabia! That means I was going back to my town briefly but this time it's for work and not to visit my family. We arrived as planned at Pillari international office in Santa-Dabia, the biggest company in the state. I made my way to the receptionist and she replied politely that the others were waiting in the boardroom on the sixth floor. "Thank you ma'am." I smiled at her but she scoffed and faced her computer. "Weird." I shrugged and walked into th
****** When we boarded Mr. Bill's private Jet back to Orano he didn't say a word to me. It wasn't his fault it was all mine. My actions might have caused him the business deal and I won't forgive myself if we lose that deal because of some stupid attraction. MTC has been a family to me since they took me into their wings. "See you tomorrow at work." Mr. Bill waved at me once his driver dropped me off at my door and drove off. "I just pray we pull through." I muttered and walked into my apartment. I feel terrible except when Mr. Bill called the stranger John. It felt like I won a lottery ticket when I found out his name. "John." His name felt like yummy goodness on my lips. I got home to find Linda sitting on the couch with some pizza in hand and a cold ginger drink."Hey girl. You had a nice soundtrack this morning." I taunts. She blushed and responded immediately by offering the pizza to me to munch on. "I'll pass, I'm not hungry." I declined as I waved it wi
MARIA'S POV I couldn't concentrate while working on my computer. My head has been winding with thoughts on the anonymous stranger who sent those flowers. My laptop slammed shut with a thud as I left my desk heading to Mr. Bill's office. 'knock knock' "Come in." His voice echoed inside his office inviting me. I twisted the doorknob and walked in smartly with my hair bouncing freely as I met them down."Why are you here?" His eyes fixed on his computer as usual. "I'm sorry sir. I would like to have a day off. I've been a little sick and I can't concentrate on my work any further." I revealed fidgeting. I'm a twenty five year old woman but yet when I'm nervous I start fidgeting. I should have outgrown that shit by now. "Okay you can have a day off. We have no schedules today and most meetings are scheduled for weeks ahead so there's nothing much to do." He replied. "Thank you sir." It came as a relief. My head has been spinning and today has seemed mysterious to me..
Broken by the Billionaire Mafia JOHN's POV Muscular six packs, raven black hair, ice blue eyes and an enchanting smile to steal the ladies hearts. That was John Pillari.Louis Vuitton shirt, Gucci shoes and the 2021 designer trousers from Virgil Abloh. I jumped out of my Ferrari and threw the key to my bodyguards. Walking into my luxury mansion my servant bowed in respect as I made my way heading to my bedroom. My door knob twisted as I turned the knob and walked into my bedroom. This is one of my numerous Mansions. I own numerous penthouses, clubs, beach houses, private jets and others I barely remember until the need arises. You can say I'm living the dream life. I'm living the life so many millions of people wish they had or come close to achieving. I have everyone at my beck and call. At first I felt powerful that I could control people and make them carry out my wishes without thinking twice but with time it became boring. People tend to get scared
***************************** Broken by the Billionaire Mafia MARIA's POV When I got home I was thirsty and needed something cool and refreshing to get my mind off my little headaches. My head was running again and truly I've never been myself after seeing the sexy, daring, and charming Mr John. Everything about him screams dominance and power. My head stopped functioning after our little encounter and I can't think straight anymore. His beautiful eyes, well-structured jawline, his broad shoulders and the way he walked got me feeling hot and on the 'wild side.' I had always been hard for me to express myself sexually and I have never spoken to anyone about it. You can blame it on my parents' early divorce. While my elder sister Fiona resorted to being a thorn in my flesh. She blamed me for our parents divorce because I found sexy lingerie in dad's luggage and showed it to mom. Dad was having an affair with his blonde mistress. It was those type of pa
******** MARIA POV I decided to let what my sister said not to have an effect on me. I had to be strong and I can only do that if my mental health is protected by all means necessary. Tuesday approached fast and I did as instructed by heading to Pillari International. He sent the text Tuesday morning. What a self centred prick! I drove to the garage and said my prayers before getting into the luxurious building.I met the receptionist and smiled pleasantly at her. "Good morning. I'm here to see Mr John." I revealed to her straight to the point. The receptionist took a haughty glare at me from my head to my toes, and had a sinister grin. Then flicked her gaze back up at me. "Why are you here to see him?" She asked. "Well I'm assigned to work with him on a project. He knows I will be here." I replied politely. Why is she asking me all these questions? She might be instructed by Mr. John to ask those questions. She's clearly doing her job. She picks
