My phone buzzed. Samantha has texted me, worrying about where I had been. Well, I wasn't really quite sure myself. I observed a little bit, examining my surroundings when my eyes fell onto guy laying beside me naked. It was a matter of time before the pieces came together.
Yeah! I was at the club, having very much fun and searching for my next pleasure toy for the night. This handsomeness before my eyes confirmed that I had succeeded in fulfilling last night's task.
Without making a sound, I collected my clothes from the ground and got the hell out of the bedroom. Making my way to the living room of this stranger which I had completely forgot his name. Judging by the looks of this apartment, he must be wealthy or at least be the son of a rich dad. I didn't care to find out at the time.
Fully dressed in my black elegant off shoulder dress, I was ready to do the walk of shame and take all the critical glares that old people would give me. It is not my fault spiders have been living in there. Sex is something absolutely fucking perfect. It consists of pleasure, exercise and a way of doing therapy as you take your anger or frustration out.
Once I got out, I gasped in cold. The light breeze touching my skin causing me to shiver. Finding my car was easy due to the fact that no one seems to have the exclusive customised new Lamborghini. Black matte color with some sparkling effects on the doors. I was in love with this car. Adjusting my Louboutins for the last time, I threw myself in the front-seat.
Before starting I took a quick look to myself un the mirror. I was presentable, could have been better but whatever. I started the engine, a rush of adrenaline went through my body as I heard the car growling. With that I was ready to take off.
It was almost seven so I had more or less one hour before I had to get to the office. Driving through the vivacious roads of New York, memories of last night's steamy events awakened. The feeling of this guy lips on my skin and his dick in my pussy, well it was something I definitely wanted to feel again. It was an adequate night. He was good, knew what he was doing even though there is always space for improvement. He made me cum once which is something surprising for a guy to care about when it comes to sex. An 7/10 would be a logical grade of my experience with him.
My thoughts were disturbed by a honk of a car behind me. That dickhead, can't he see the light is still red? What does he want me to do, speed up the time? One more honk was heard when I pulled my window down and gave him my middle finger before taking off. Men just have to be impatient assholes. And they say they are better at driving. Maybe because they all ignore the red lights.
Reaching for my purse, I was in search of my phone. Having it to my hand, I dialed Lisa's number just to reassure her that I was alive and breathing, only to be send to voicemail. I left her a voicemail explaining her what happened last night and told her to call me later.
Eventually I arrived to the office. My law firm which I have worked my ass off to create. Sleepless nights burying my head into contracts, trying to find loopholes to lower the price and I finally made it as you can see. Adjusting some lipstick and fixing my hair, the doorman approached my car and opened the door for me. Stepping out I granted him a thankful look and entered the building.
My heels clutching on the marble floor. This noice made me feel powerful, that's why I always wore shoes with even the slightest of a heel and never flat. Getting on the elevator was hard for the rest of the employees given the fact that the skyscraper was hospitalising other companies too, but for me was just a pretentious smile and a flirtatious glare. Especially now with the reputation I was holding people would gladly step out of the elevator themselves and offer me their place.
The ding noice brought me back to reality as I had been gazing iff the whole time. Our company, the headquarters were on 40th flour of the skyscraper. I had demanded that they will be on the highest floor no matter what. The headquarters were a summing up of my office, the COO and the offices of the senior partners and some board council members. It also had five conference rooms, a library and a terrace with a cafe in the back. All of it resulting in a 15$ million dollar check when the constructions finished. What can I say, I don't go for cheap.
"Good morning Mrs. Allesandro" Frederick, my second assistant in command after Samantha said while slipping my coffee into my hands. "For today, you have three appointments. First, Mr. Wilson from the pharmaceutical company Prizer we are consulting. Second, Mrs. Denver and Mr. Everson who are expecting your legal approval for their companies merge. And lastly, a certain Mr. Valentine who has booked a first- line meeting. "
"Are the contracts for the merge printed and on my desk?" I asked without letting him breath for not even a single second.
"Yes madame"
"What about the case of the data alteration at the Ministry of Security?"
"All fixed up waiting for you in there" He caught his breath pointing to my office.
"Good Morning Mrs. Alessadro" Samantha exclaimed. Something was different about her. Her hair turned from brunette to blonde. I must day I preferred her a blonde. It matched better with her green jade eyes.
"Blonde suits you better Samantha" With that I walked into my office. I could feel her satisfaction and relief as I had approved her look.
~~~~~~~
After the two appointments I had, it was time for the third one. The mysterious infamous Mr. Valentine was about to enter my office in less than two minutes and I knew nothing about him except his criminal record which was to my surprise clean. No arrests, no law-breaking, not even some kind of drunk-driving ticket. I was no fool as his name was connected with shady rumours I chose to ignore, at least so I can be objective.
"Mrs. Alesandro, Mr. Valentine is here" Samantha knocked on my door, catching my attention.
"Escort him in" I demanded with a steep voice.
The man that was presented to me was by far the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life. His looks referred to those of a Greek God. His body was muscular, showing off under his suit. His face was angelic, his sharp jawline, his prefect-shaped nose, his dirty blonde sleeked back back and those eyes. Those navy eyes of his. I could easily get lost into them, anyone could.
Samantha left. He didn't say a word. He just stood there for a minute examining me. When his eyes met mine, a devilish smirk appeared on his face. I responded to that with a flirtatious glance before turning back to study his file further. Seeing that I took no notice to his presence nor was affected by it, he walked over to my desk and sat on one of the leather armchairs. His eyes never left my sight. Was he trying to read me? To manipulate me? To lure me?
"So, Mr. Valentine, what brings you to my office?" Breaking the silence, unburying my head from his file, I leaned back to my chair looking at him straight in the eyes.
"I need a lawyer" He replied. His voice was demanding leaving no room for disobeying or talking back.
"For what, if you don't mind me asking?" I asked politely, trying to break the ice.
"I am in need of a legal consultant for my businesses" That put me into thinking. What businesses was he taking about, I needed to find out more.
"Well, I'm not sure I am what you're looking for. This businesses of yours as I see in your file are in the field of leisure and entertainment. It's not my expertise, perhaps I should provide you with another-" Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted me.
"You, Miss Alessadro, are exactly what I'm looking for" He said deep starring into my eyes.
Hope you liked the chapter, my darlings!
See you in the next one ;)!
*Alexis* Do you sometimes feel this primal attraction to someone? Like is not a crush as there are no feelings. It is a strong physical attraction. This man standing before my eyes was that. His devilish smirk with his muscular body made my pussy throbbed. I wanted to fuck the shit out of him. And who wouldn't? Have you seen the man? Damn it, Alexis control your hormones."You Miss Alessadro are exactly what I need." His voice deep and demanding."Well, if that's what you want Mr. Valentine. I just had to inform you about my lack of experience with this kind of businesses. I work more with international enterprises." My eyes still on him, trying to read him, to break him. But his face was illegible, I couldn't make sense out of him and I frequently don't find it hard to read and manipulate people.
*Alexis*Ride back home was filled with my favorite playlist and me acting like a crazy teenage girl screaming song lyrics inside my car. Arriving home fast was a relief as New York is famous for her traffic jams. Back home, I sighed and took off my shoes throwing them in some cupboard. I made my way to the kitchen and treated myself with a glass of red wine so that I can calm my nerves after my intense exercising before.Between the path to my bedroom and bathroom I stripped down parts of my clothes resulting in me being fully naked as I reached the shower. The cold water hitting my skin made me shiver a bit in the beginning but after it was a pleasant feeling. Most people hate cold showers but for me they were my daily routine. Continuing I shampooed my jet black wavy hair brushing my fingers through them. As Imoved on to my body, he invaded my thoughts creating a wet
*Alexis*His cologne intoxicated me and his voice had an exquisite effect on my body. He took a step forward, causing me to take a step back. That repeated until we were both in the suite. Releasing my hand from his grip, I sat on the couch crossing my legs. With that my thighs were exposed and a little part of my butt too. I wasn't wearing underwear, especially with that dress. While making myself comfortable, I heard his gulp, realizing the effect I had over him. I smirked to myself."Mr. Valentine how are planning to enjoy your night with me as you earlier claimed?" I questioned his intentions, biting my lip."I want to bite that lip of yours until you moan my name Miss Alessandro" He chanted approaching me. I was surprised to say the least but in a good way. No man had ever had the balls to announce his true intentions before the end
*Alexis*What just happened? Did I really grant him the opportunity to touch me? Even though his hands were working my clit so good, I couldn't give in. He called me princess. Who the fuck he thinks he is talking to? I'm no princess never was never will be. The word princess just was something that really had a bad effect on me due to past events.PrincessThat's when all the memories flashed back....I could still remember the day I lost my virginity. I didn't get the whole perfect date, first boyfriend and hotel room thing. What I got was middle-aged man in a dark alley. It was the night of Halloween. Me any my high-school friends were planning to go this party our school had organized for the seniors. My costume was matching with the rest of the group. We and eight other three girls chose to dress as Disney's princesses as a unity. At the beginning of
*Alexis*The week passed calmly. The only exciting thing happening in those two days was seeing Frederick flirting non-stop with Samantha who played extremely hard to get. I had trained her right.She has been working for me, for more than four years. She stood by me when things were rough, when I had nothing but my laptop and 500 bucks in my bank account. Even though I tend to be hard on her or mean, she never leaves.That's why I let her come late sometimes and that's why I pay her more than anyone else in this company. She earned my respect and trust. These two things not even my parents had earned before I turned 22.Seeing Frederick sweating for her, I nodded at her to leave with him. They were getting coffee for me so why not let them be.It hadn't been
<Alexis>"Come on, sunflower! You got this!" I could hear my dad encouraging me outside the ring.I would be fighting with a dude called Dragon Flame. It was a friendly match, not some serious shit competition, but I had heard his pride couldn't bate the thought of losing. So I prepared myself for him. I had been observing him the minute he stepped into the gym. Studying his moves, the way he talks, even the way he drinks water. While practicing with his coach, I saw that his right hook was undeniably strong while his left hook was a little bit loose. He was also the attacking type, always striking first. With all these informations I planned my strategy. I would play defense. Exhausting him was the key as he was double my size.It was a matter of time before the match began. Ready in our corners, my dad whispered to my ears, "Who i
<ZAYN>"No! Pleasee! Nooo!" His wife screamed. Tears running down her face as I pushed the dagger deeper into Santo's left leg. He groaned in pain trying to contain his tears."This is getting kinda boring now, ok! Just give the goddamn location!" I shouted in his ear causing him to flinch."Please, just tell him. I love you and I can't lose you" His wife confessed trying to convince him."You had to make her watch, you dickhead..." He coughed, blood running down his cheeks from the punches he had taken."You really shouldn't have said that." I whispered to his ear. Nodding at the guard who was holding his wife, he picked her up and took out a knife pointing it at her throat. "Who's the dickhead now?" I asked in irony. Examining his eyes, I co
<Alexis>I heard a knock on my door and stopped messing around with some stupid case."Miss Alessandro, Mr. Houston is here for the contracts." Samantha announced."Tell him to come in." I said while adjusting my boobs, exposing them a bit more.Entering the office Hercules came and sit on one of the chairs in front of my office."Alexis, you look amazing as always" He stated with a smile on his face."You're too nice, I may think you're pretending" I replied while standing up and moving to the couch next to him."Just the truth, Alexis" He smirked, leaning a bot forward
Hello my beautiful darlings! Thank you all for showing that much love on my first book EVER! It has been quite the ride writing it and reading your comments and I must say you guys made my boring school nights much more interesting. I felt obligated to explain my choice to end the story in such a way. Through personal experience I have learned that love is one of the most heartbreaking and painful feelings a human can ever experience because it leaves you powerless and vulnerable to a possible destruction. And that's the beauty of it of course, the beauty of living the journey no matter the destination, a journey that consumes you and scars you forever. It is difficult to find the right person with which you will click and feel as if at home. The person who you will not feel ashamed being yourself. The person who will encourage you to own who you are, all your dark parts. Your soulmate. Most of the times people don't get to find this person while they are alive and end up searchi
*Alexis*"I know, baby. But what can I say? I will see you soon though. Take care of Ryan and yourself. Love you. Bye!" I have just arrived in Italy. No suitcase, no baggages, just my purse and that smile that is plastered on my face. I was talking with Jonathan and I know it was horrible lying to him but I couldn't tell him the truth. Maybe it was selfish but... Walking out of the airport to the lobby room where people were expecting their beloveds ones, I saw a man holding a card with my name on it. I approached him and he escorted me to the black SUV which was parked outside. Two other cars following us packed with men."Your protection miss Alessandro." He confirmed while I was putting my seatbelt on. I hadn't changed my last name, didn't want to and fortunately Jonathan was okay with that. Only if he knew the reason... The reason that to this day is that only one man would have the luxury of doing that. And I would adore the way it would sounded. Alexis Valentine. "You have a s
*10 years later* *Alexis and Zayn have broken up and they haven't spoken since then* *Alexis*"Jonathan!" I called from where I stood in the kitchen. He rushed into the room, approaching me. It was currently 8AM in the morning and we were all preparing for work and school. Me and Jonathan are now married and we have a beautiful six year old son named Ryan. Those two boys saved me from waiting that promise to be fulfilled and do nothing else with my life. Now they are my life. "Can you pick Ryan up from school today? I have a conference meeting and I will be late." I said putting some coffee in my mouth. "Sure, my love." He wrapped a hand around my waist, stealing a kiss from me. "You're beautiful." He kissed me once again, before the little devil stepped into the kitchen. "Ewww don't." Ryan screamed and we laughed backing away from each other. "You know you're lucky you're not old enough to teach you how babies are made." Jonathan took himinto his arms, lifting him up. I chuckl
*Zayn*"The Italian mafia is grateful for your help, Ivan." I patted his shoulder and he chuckled taking a sip of his scotch. It had been a while since I had last seen Alexis and my eyes trailed off to the room searching for her. When I had gone over it twice and didn't find her... my heart started racing. I excused myself fromthe conversation and eased my nervousness with optimistic thoughts such as the possibility of her being in the ladies room or sleeping upstairs in our room. I hoped but hopes never truly match the raw character of reality. I saw my step mother entering the ball room, the colour on her face to was drained away. Her eyes going over the people in the room, searching for someone when they eventually landed on me. Swallowing, her eyes were deprived of the light that dominated them earlier. Something was wrong. I walked rapidly towards while she remained immobile, not having the power to move. "Mama..." I called her. Once I had reached her, she dragged me away fr
*Zayn*"Zayn!" Luciana squealed throwing her arms around me. She took me into a tight hug and I felt Alexis tensing at our proximity from behind. My Princess cleared her throat and remained silent, having trust in me. She trusted me. And I-I didn't know how to trust her with this. I didn't know how to trust that she wouldn't leave me after finding out. "Hey Luciana." I coughed, breaking the hug and taking a step back so that there was some distance between us. Luciana furrowed her eyebrows at my slight nervousness looking behind me to the goddess sitting by the bar next to my dad. "Who is she?" Her voice softened and her smile faded away replaced with an expression of confusion. "She is..." I let out a breath, rubbing my temples with the tips of my fingers. "My girlfriend." Luciana's eyes widened in surprise. I wasn't the one to date. I didn't at least before I met my princess. "Zayn, I thought we had agreed not to-" She was about to finish her sentence and I shook my head interr
*Alexis*The next thing I know... I'm drowned in an ocean of fabrics, jewelry, shoes, lipsticks and different haircuts. All offered to me by the stylist team that Zayn had assigned for my preparing for the ball the following week. The days passed in the most exciting way, I must admit. And the dress who was exclusively made for me and only me was breathtaking and one of a kind. Zayn hadn't seen me in it and he wasn't about to until the ball night. The castle boomed with life. People from all the walks of life occupying the corridors. All of them doing their duty and making sure the ball room would look out of this world. And when I visited it the morning before the ball, my jaw was on the floor. The work that had been done was perfect. Simple perfection. The theme of the ball was 'the touch of darkness', mysterious and luxurious the ball awaited for its guests.The evening before the ball was a beautiful mess. I was on chair for more than three hours. Makeup and hair, it was a war of
*Alexis*He was right when he said he knew exactly the place for this occasion. A beautiful restaurant, famous for its delicious pasta all over the city of Rome. Its ambiance was leaking with romance and I could see the place being only occupied by couples. Arriving to the restaurant, the waiter led us to the table. Zayn had asked for aVIP one who had great view over the city. Rome unfolding before our eyes was a breathtaking sight. After some time that we had sat down, a waitress approached our table. A smile on her as she welcomed us to the restaurant. Her gaze though as she handed us the menus was glued on Zayn and he politely smiled back at her thanking her. "I'm Alisha." Her eyes never leaving Zayn, even though I coughed trying to get her attention. "And I will be your waitress for tonight." She continued, her eyes examining him, tracing his face then lowering to his neck. "Do you want some time to decide? I can make some suggestions if you'd like?" She reached to Zayn's menu,
*Alexis*Once the plane landed, Zayn guided me to the Ferrari waiting outside. No chauffer, just the two of us. And after the mess that we made on that plane, the feathers of the pillows still lingering over my hair, I preferred it that way. Having never been in Italy, I was completely in the hands of Zayn which excited me and terrified me at the same time. He scared me in the car when he joked about us being followed and having to drive through the forest right in the sea to survive. I elbowed him in the ribs, shutting that wicked laugh of his down, even though seeing his Adam's apple moving up and down was eternally enjoyable. He didn't tell me the exact location of where we were going and honestly even if he did I wouldn't understand much.Driving past old beautiful buildings, graphic passages and traditional restaurants, I realized that we were in Rome. One of the most beautiful cities in the world, hiding secrets and mysteries behind its ancient history. Taking in the beauty unfo
*Zayn* I trusted Alexis with my life but the think was that I didn't trust that other guy Jonathan around her. I couldn't trust any guy around her. I mean...take a look at her. Who wouldn't want to have that woman in his bed even for once? It was the first time I was experiencing this jealousy, this green fever that made my heart pound like crazy and make my mind build up scenarios that only made me more anxious than I already was. I was driving to her office. The sun had almost set and the sky was dressed in colors of orange and pink. The cigarette rolling on my lips offered me some mere relaxation and took slightly my mind off things. Parking before her building, I searched for any sign of Jonathan's presence but fortunately I came across nothing. Getting out of the car, I walked towards the entrance. The two security guards questioning every passenger with their glares seemed to have been informed about my arrival as their expression softened at my presence. They opened the doors
