Tanya stumbled out of the Hotel gate with hot tears streaming down her face. She couldn't deny the fact that she loved him a bit as she walked on the street that cold and windy night like a desolate soul searching for a bar to drink away her sorrow.
She stumbled into a night club with a stagger and bumped into a man on her way inside. Tanya bowed feverishly as she apologized, "I'm sorry". Her blouse opened slightly as her hand hit his chest, he looked at her shoulder, the scars there were familiar and so eye catching. Tanya noticed his gaze on her skin, she quickly covered her shoulder and walked past him and joined the party. Kenneth Griffin stared at the lady on the dance floor, he can't help but wonder where he has met her before. Her dancing steps, elegant but still not perfect as her leg is not steady and sharp. Tanya stumbled out of the dance floor to the counter and sat in front of the bar man himself and drank several cups alone until someone walked by. She looked up and it was that man, the one staring at her in the bar and the one that bumped into her in the street earlier. "Hey, handsome! Why are you looking at me like that earlier? Did I look so beautiful that you can't get enough of my face?" Kenneth Griffin found this question amusing and the lady before him very interesting and captivating to talk to, he ordered a shot of whiskey and sat beside her. He took a sip before leaning close to her ear and whispered softly in a tone filled with flirting and ambiguity, "Yes, You're very beautiful indeed, and I'm fanscinated by you" Tanya felt her cheeks burn as his hot breath hit her soft and succulent skin. She felt some kind of current rush through her veins. Her eyes darted to his chiseled jaws, she felt her heart thumped. His perfect square face is enough to make a woman jealous of his beauty. She smiled inwardly through her drowsiness, 'A handsome man!This is enough to replace Frank Harper that looser' She thought. In this next moment, having this man's hand on her body was the next thing she wanted to do. Before he could lean back from whispering to her, Tanya suddenly grabbed his chiseled jaws with her hands, before Kenneth could realize what's happening, her hot and quivering lips fell on his. Kenneth's eye shot opened. That lips... That body scent. Everything instant feels familiar. He glanced at the cup on the table and sighted the white substance settled under the cup. In an instant he realized that her drink has been spiked. Seizing this opportunity, Kenneth kissed her back, with all passion and alacrity. Before they could understand each other, they are at the doorstep of the lodge. Tanya stopped for sometime and looked at his eye, right now she only think about his face and beauty, nothing else mattered. "Kiss me more!" Tanya whispered after he had opened the door. Kenneth hesitated for a moment. His eyes slowly darted to her right arm and saw that familiar scar, he felt his heart trembled, it was her. TANYA LEWISTON! PYRAMID HIGH SCHOOL. No wonder she felt very familiar and close. That scar.... It's something he can never forget and Tanya Lewiston, that is a name he would never forget too.Her innocent big eyes kept staring into his, leaving him clueless about what to do. Before he could figure out his thoughts, she suddenly grabbed his hands, dragged him toward the bed, made him fall on it, and towered over him like a looming doom. She slowly kissed his lips. She looked at him with those wide starry eyes and said, "Save me... I have no one" For the first time in his life, Kenneth Griffin was out of words. The next morning, Tanya gets up from the bed in a daze. Her body aches as if she's just been torn. Lift her chin. The pink hickey mark on it very clean and clear which proved what had happened. She covered her mouth and didn't want to make any noice who knows whoever was there with her. She opened the quilt and saw her own body without any clothes on. The scream almost rushed out of her voice. She opened the quilt and saw her own body without any clothes on. The scream almost rushed out of her voice. Tanya's nimble eyes dribbled around the bottom of his eyes two times, decisively lifted the quilt, got out of bed to clean up the messy clothes, put on her clothes hastily and made to rush out of the room before whoever was there with her gets back. She didn't even bother to dress properly as the only thing she wanted to do was to get out of the room because she doesn't know what her last night actions were. "Are you leaving so soon?" A voice came from her behind. She was shocked as she turned around and sighted the man coming out of the bathroom. The man's big hand holds the hair dryer while his chest is bare with a towel wrapped around his groin. He had a broad eagle tatto on his chest which felt familiar to Tanya. His deep eyes seem to be with an inborn arrogance, cold cheeks, pen nose high on the white face, and white jade-like skin, which makes her, a woman with good skin feel envious. The silence between them was so chilly and still so much that Tanya felt trapped like someone in a cold room. She decided to start the conversation. "You... What did you mean?" He smirked gracefully and sinisterly, when he lifted his lips, his manly allure couldn't be hidden. Tanya couldn't help but gasp. He moved closer, "Is that question coming from someone who didn't want me to go while seducing me? Or you're trying to ask for more?" Tanya quickly retreated, she looked at him without a word. Her lips were shaking. She bowed slightly and grabbed her purse. He smirked again, "What are you doing?" She didn't say a word as she fumbled with the purse and draw out a few dollars. Still trying to avoid his gaze, she threw the money at him. "Let's not meet again" she shouted and ran away. As Tanya sprinted towards Ice Spice hotel to get her things out, she stumped upon Bianca at the car park. Tanya hissed and made to walk away, but Bianca blocked her arrogantly. Tanya scoffed, "What did you want?" "Hey sister, where did you go last night? I'm so worried about you that I didn't sleep properly" Bianca replied coquettishly. Tanya didn't spare her a glance as she hissed again and wanted to walk away but she was held back. With angry expression she asked, "What did you want? You have Frank all to yourself why did you still bother with me?" Bianca walked around Tanya is circular motion, she wondered where she had gone to the previous night and why she look so rough. "Of course, I have Frank to myself and you got nothing so I thought of helping your life, are interested in coming to work at my office? We are recruiting new workers" Tanya gulped. Interview at Bianca's place of work didn't sound so bad but through Bianca? Without no sage to predict she could tell that Bianca was up to some shady tricks. Looking at her work expressionless gaze she replied, "No thanks" Bianca held her hand, "Hey Tanya, what are you thinking? Get your head together you're very poor, come and get a job and forget about Frank he's now mine" Hearing this, Tanya remembered last night. Her eyes felt teary as she replied savagely, "Get lost!" She walked away. She thought that was all, but Bianca rushed after her and grabbed her hair from behind. "How dare you tell me to get lost?" Tanya shouted as Bianca dragged her hair. "What are you doing?" A domineering voice asked from behind.Tanya shouted as Bianca dragged her hair. "What are you doing?" A domineering voice asked from behind making Bianca and Tanya very shocked.At first, Bianca's was thrilled by the man but for Tanya, she was shocked that he had followed her.She left Bianca's grip and rushed to him. "Why did you follow me?"Kenneth looked at her with a questioning gaze, "To return your money of course. I don't need it"Tanya gulped. She was about to say another thing when Bianca walked over with a malicious smirk on her face, "So this is it? You left your dear Frank to go and sleep with a male prostitute aren't you shameless for a while?" This word stabbed Tanya. Shameless? That word rang a bell in her ears as she shot Bianca a angry gaze. "Aren't you also shameless for sleeping with your stepsister's husband to be?" Kenneth kept quiet as he listened to this words exchange between the two sisters. He now understood why she got drunk the previous night. He thought in his mind, if this lady is cheated
At his house, Kenneth Griffin paced up abs and down as he watched the CCTV footage that has just been forwarded to him by his subordinate. He had requested for the CCTV footage earlier and as he watched or, he couldn't see how the substance got into her drink just people dancing around."Who drugged her then?" He thought throughout the night until he fell asleep.The next morning, Tanya sleep walked into the dinning room to take early morning water and prepare for her new job as she glanced at the news her stepfather was watching. The newscaster began, "The renowned CEO of Immortal International firm of Springfield City, Kenneth Griffin was confirmed to be a male prostitute" Tanya was shocked as Kenneth 's picture pooped up on the screen.The news continued, "As the witness said, he had slept with a mysterious woman at a brothel in Fairfield and now set to employ the woman. Due to this news, the market price of the company has plummeted as all investors demanded an explanation"She
After work, Tanya was set to go home and sat down at the subway station when a car pulled up before her. The window wounded down and Kenneth's face came into view. "Are you leaving without me?" He asked as he rolled down the window. Tanya rolled her eyes, "We're just acting to be married, don't take it very real!" "Let me send you home"She hopped into the car and they drove away In silent. There was a still silence in the car for a long while before she broke the silence, "This is not the way to my house, it's the other way"Without sparing her a glance, Kenneth replied, "it's the way to our family house, since we appeared on the TV together, you should meet my family. So we're going back together for dinner" Tanya was shocked at his words."Meet your parents? So soon?" He nodded as the car turned into a rich and wealthy environment which made Tanya gawk in awe. "Ken, how should I behave when we arrive? You didn't tell me this before, don't you think I should prepare some gif
Kenneth and Tanya stopped the car at the bar beach. "I am sorry for making you see such a scene in my family" he said as he slipped some bear.Tanya thought he was done and was about to say one more word, but he continued, "Actually, there's never been peace in my family. Just like when I was still in high school, we always quarrelled among each other" Tanya sighed, she doesn't know why he was telling her all these. But she choose to listen him as they both sat by the beach."You know Tanya,I never hold any grudge with Ryan,I considered him my brother even though we're not from the same mother. But since we're Young, Ryan always wanted to get what I have. He has been competing with me since we're younger" He stopped. Tanya looked at him and imagined how hurtful and painful it was to have such a brother. She never has a sibling, but Tanya could imagine how Kenneth must be trying to make him and his brother be on the same page. She remembered him of course, Ryan Griffin. Always co
The next day, as the evening approached, Celine sent a text message to Tanya inviting her to the Griffin's house. After sometime, an expensive Rolls Royce was sent to pick Tanya. On getting there, Celine was not waiting for her at the doorstep, like she had promised, So Tanya stood there after pressing the doorbell. Just as she was still waiting for the door to be answered, a contemptuous voice suddenly came from the house as the door opened. "Is this Young Master Kenneth's wife?" It was it was a maid who spoke out. "Yes, I'm his wife, I'm here for Sister-in-law Celine" Tanya replied courteously trying to use the best of her voice. Be it maid or not, she shouldn't be on anyone's black book.The maid bowed slightly gesturing her to enter. Timidly and panic stricken, Tanya stepped into the house. She met Mrs Linda there sipping tea while reading news paper. She bowed slightly as greeted her. "Hello Aunt?"She wondered where Celine could be at that moment, as she picked her pho
In the study room of Kenneth's house, Tanya vamoosed into the study room with a lump in her throat. Since they both came back from the Griffin's house, Kenneth has been unexpectedly cold to her.As she sat down on the chair opposite her husband, she silently prayed that he change is mind later.The study room was silent save for the flipping of the books left by the window side. The long silence made her more nervous. After some time she began, "Em... Ken you see, I....." "I don't blame you for anything, you dont have to feel remorseful" he said and paused again. "it's just that Ryan Griffin is not a person that can be with someone for a long time"Tanya tightened her grip on her wrists. What is she going to say? She could feel her heart shaking in her chest. She could feel that Kenneth was really angry without knowing, tears ran down her face. "I'm sorry Ken, I'm so sorry. I don't know that your brother will be there. It's my fault, that I entered the wrong room" Sighing, Kenne
In a dark secluded bar, Frank Harper and a friend of his were spotted sitting opposite a man whose face is not visible. The man gulped down the whiskey in his cup and glared at Frank while face formed a scowl and his arms akimbo. "How dare you ruin my well kept plan by letting Tanya and Kenneth get back together?" He asked "I am sorry Sir, I don't know that he had a relationship with Tanya, I only got to know when they organized a press conference" Frank managed to say. The tears threathing to fall on his face didn't make a difference to the man as he began his words carefully. "Look here Frank Harper, I'll sponsor you and support your career in becoming a good project manager like your want"Frank looked at the man with shock, "What are you saying? You'll sponsor me?" "Yes, I'll sponsor you in everything for now but on one condition" The lone ray of hope and happiness that just ignited in Frank's mind slowly died down. "What condition?" The man became silent and poured him
Returning home that day, Tanya decided to cook for Kenneth. She prepared Omelette and bread and sat down waiting for him while watching TV. Bianca sent a text to her as she settled down, it reads, "I can't wait for the banquet tomorrow sis"Tanya hissed and switched off her phone and waited for him to come back. A hour, two, three until after five hours, Kenneth Griffin is nowhere around. Without knowing, Tanya fell asleep on the sofa. Tanya woke up the next day on the bed. She wondered how she got on the bed and rushed downstairs to look for him perhaps he's around. Feeling disappointed that he wasn't around, Tanya slinked into the bathroom to prepared for the day when she noticed a sticky note on her cheeks. She pulled it and read, "I've gone out for business and won't be back anytime soon. Don't worry, I'll attend your grandfather's birthday banquet. My call lines won't be available from now" Tanya can't help but miss immediately she read it till the end. Still yet, she dres
