DOMINIQUE'S POV

The cozy ambiance of the restaurant made me feel at ease. We are currently in Bellevue Restaurant, a fine dining restaurant that specializes in French cuisine, owned by Gale, himself. It was an old, but well-preserved restaurant that had been built many years ago by his late great grandfather.

"Tell me, how many businesses do you have?" I curiously asked.

He doesn't look like the kind of businessman who's intimidating. I guess it has something to do with his aura and playfulness. He rarely scoffs, and most of the time he's just smiling. His smile seems contagious as I noticed that everyone who looks at him also smiles. He's also good looking and he has that undeniable sense of humor that could get someone laughing...well, maybe except me.

"Are you finally interested in me? Just enough to provide for you and our future grandchildren, Milady," he answered my question with a smile.

    DOMINIQUE'S POVSitting in front of my dresser, I blow-dried my hair. I had just finished taking a bath and doing my nightly skin care routine. I held my forehead at the same time as my heart rate suddenly accelerated. My face suddenly heated up as I remember the feeling of Gale's lips touching my forehead. It was weird...but undeniably a warm and pleasant feeling.Oh jeez! I think I'm going crazy!Instead of thinking about it, I chose to sleep in hopes that maybe I'd forget about that feeling. However, I couldn't sleep. My heart keeps on beating fast whenever Gale crosses my mind.I woke up late the next day. I massaged my senses when I felt a slight dizziness. We had just finished our board meeting and I was blown away by the many things that were discussed, including the bidding to supply drinks to a large company. The scope of our business is wide and includes the production of beverages such as wine and juices. We are more into exporting, but we also supply to huge malls and othe

I told the bartender.He immediately complied and handed me a bottle of Spirytus Vodka and a shot glass. When I removed its lid, I immediately inhaled its strong smell.

    DOMINIQUE'S POVThe bright morning light greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes. I stretched my arms a little and closed my eyes again while snuggling my pillow.Hmm, my pillow smells so good today! I thought.I smiled as I inhaled the masculine smell of my pillow— I was surprised and my eyes widened, realizing that instead of a pillow, I was caressing the muscular chest of a man. I scanned my eyes around and that's when I realized this was not my room. I looked at myself and was immediately stunned to see that I'm wearing nothing except my undergarments.“Ahhhhhh! What did you do to me? You're an asshole! A fucking asshole!” I shouted and I rode on top of the sleeping man, hitting him.“Ouch! What the fuck!” he shouted back, and immediately got up, making me fall back into the bed.Now, we are facing each other and staring into each other's eyes. He swallowed as his gaze dropped

    NIKKI’S POV“What an appeal, Girl! Imagine, you had just broken up with your ex who is a cheater, and yet, here comes his replacement,” Camille shrieked as we walked back to the office.I still don't understand what happened. After hearing those words from Gale, I immediately went out of the cafe. Shocked, and I still can't believe it. Why? Why would he call me? For what reason? I mean, we're barely even friends.“What? What replacement are you talking about, Camille? What do you think of Vonn, car spare parts, or cell phone units that are easy to replace?” I asked in annoyance.“Oh please, don’t waste your time crying over him. He’s not worth it,” she said and stared at me intently.I looked away from her. Of course, I’ll be a hypocrite if I say that I’ve already moved on. It's only been a few days since that happened and the pain left by his deception is still in my heart. I never thought he’

I cursed in my mind when I heard my stammering and very surprised voice.Seriously, when have I been intimidated by someone I was just talking to on the phone?I heard Gale's soft laugh on the other line which made my face feel even hotter. I shouldn't be acting this way, Jeez!"Stop laughing, will you?" I yelled at him, but instead of keeping quiet, he just laughed at me even more. He sounded so amused, and it makes me feel a lot more irritated."Will you stop laughing or shall I hang up?" I threatened him, which seemed to work because he suddenly became quiet and pacified."You're really scary, milady. Even though I'm not in front of you now, you still have the same effect on me," he said in a low voice.I could feel the fast beating of my heart as he said those words to me. I quickly warned myself, it's not right for me to feel this way. I promised myself that I will never let anyone hurt me again. And I don't intend to break that promise."Oh, you sudd
