"What is it? Who sent it?" "It's the usual," Lucy replied with a shrug. "Ah," Adrienne took the package from Lucy and opened it. Inside, there was a red, sexy dress and matching heels, along with a note. The note read, "Wear this tonight ~ BOSS." ***** Adrienne is a woman who has it all - brains, beauty, money, power and a heart that's been closed off for years. Adrienne's past has left her crippled emotionally, and the only constants in her life are her successful business and personal assistant, Daniel. But when Ryan, the heir to a conglomerate, enters her life, she feels a spark of curiosity, not love or infatuation. As their relationship develops, Adrienne is confronted with the painful reality of her past and the people responsible for it. She's faced with a choice: to follow her heart or seek revenge. Will she find peace or further heartbreak?
Voir plusAdrienne made her way downstairs to the kitchen, feeling famished after her bath. She hadn't even bothered with clothes and was completely nude. Hurriedly, she went to the fridge and grabbed a can of cola which she promptly polished off in a minute. As she was making her way back upstairs, the door opened and Daniel walked in.
"Really? Every day, naked?" Daniel asked incredulously, shaking his head.Adrienne smirked, "Morning, baby."Daniel rolled his eyes, "You're always either half-naked outside or completely naked inside."Adrienne shrugged, "So? This isn't the first time you've seen me without clothes.""Exactly! What if I brought a friend in here?" Daniel argued."I'd say hi and head upstairs," she responded dismissively."Regardless, we're running late. I thought you'd be ready by now," Daniel said, pursing his lips."What do you mean, late?" Adrienne asked, confused."We're supposed to leave in an hour to catch our flight, and you're still naked without hair and makeup done. I even suggested we stay at a hotel nearby, but you refused," Daniel grumbled.Adrienne rolled her eyes, "My stylist will be here in thirty minutes.""Thirty minutes? You told them thirty minutes?" Daniel reached for his phone. "I'll call them now.""Get your ass out of my sight and get dressed," he ordered, exasperated."Tch!" Adrienne clicked her tongue and made her way upstairs.Adrienne descended the stairs a few minutes later in a provocative, transparent bodycon dress that revealed her undergarments, leaving Daniel exasperated."There's no time to change, you can wear whatever you like," Daniel said as he called the makeup artist, Sarah."I wouldn't have changed even if I had the time," Adrienne stubbornly replied to Daniel's suggestion.Despite Sarah's greeting, Adrienne chose to ignore her and remained glued to her phone as Joshua, the hair stylist, arrived ten seconds later. Daniel gave them both strict time limits, with Joshua having ten minutes to fix Adrienne's hair while she scrolled through her phone.After twenty-five minutes, Adrienne was finally ready, and they left the house, arm in arm. Daniel was dressed in a simple tuxedo.Upon seeing the awaiting helicopter, Adrienne expressed her displeasure."Why the helicopter? You know I don't like it. I prefer the jet," she grumbled.Daniel explained the practical necessity of the helicopter, citing traffic and time constraints."Whatever," Adrienne said and walked to the helicopter.As Adrienne elegantly walked towards the helicopter door, Daniel couldn't help but take notice of her swaying behind."What are you staring at?" Adrienne asked coyly, smirking at him."Your dress is too provocative. You can't wear something so revealing to the event," Daniel warned."Why not? Are you afraid someone might steal me away?" Adrienne teased.Daniel rolled his eyes. "It's not about that. It's about showing respect to the important guests attending today. You don't want to be criticized for your attire."Adrienne shrugged. "I'm sure they'll survive seeing a little skin."Daniel shook his head, knowing he couldn't convince her otherwise."Many d*cks will stand today. Can't wait to get them all in me," she said with a smirk."Let me arrange a jacket for you when we get there. And please buckle up," Daniel instructed as they boarded the helicopter.After an hour in the air, they arrived at their destination. It was the opening of Adrienne's free school for children, catering to those aged zero to ten years old. The school was located in Abuja and was the largest of its kind, with the capacity to serve up to a thousand and five hundred students.After some convincing from Daniel, Adrienne reluctantly agreed to wear the black 'coat-like' jacket provided for her. She arrived late, apologized half-heartedly, and cut the ribbon to officially open the school. A tour of the facilities followed, and the guests eventually settled in the hall for food and music.Adrienne took to the podium to deliver her thank-you speech. As she removed the jacket from her shoulders, Daniel couldn't help but curse under his breath. All eyes were now on Adrienne's form-fitting, transparent dress, which accentuated her curves. Some loved the sight, while others criticized her for her choice of attire. Regardless of what others thought, Adrienne relished the attention she was receiving."Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us here today. I appreciate your presence and support. I am proud to announce the completion of our very first project. This school is the first of many that my foundation will implement successfully. There are more projects in the works, but I will touch on that another day. I extend a special thank you to the Minister of Education for accepting my invitation and gracing us with your presence today.Education is a basic necessity for every child, yet many kids roam the streets without access to it. This is due to unplanned pregnancies or a lack of resources. Many young girls and women who were unable to control their sexual desires fall in this category. Personally, I encourage ab*rtion but, whatever," she paused for a second and the people murmured amongst themselves.She continued,"It breaks my heart to see this. Therefore, I have established this free school where children can acquire an education while their guardians work to provide food and shelter.I am glad to say that this project has created over a thousand jobs, and every worker is paid for their services. I have invested billions into the school's treasury to ensure that the needs of the establishment are met for years to come.Once again, thank you for your support, and I would like to conclude by showing you a video showcasing the entire school, both inside and out."The audience erupted in applause as she finished her speech and ended with a message of gratitude.As Adrienne watched the video, she felt immense pride in her accomplishment. She caught Daniel's eye, and he winked at her, causing her to giggle."Weirdo," she playfully muttered to herself.As they exited the hall, Daniel commended her achievement, albeit with a caveat. "That was seventy percent impressive," he said.Adrienne, confident in her success, retorted, "What happened to the remaining thirty? I believe it was one hundred percent impressive."Daniel reminded her of the negative press comments to expect, disapproving of her provocative outfit and vocal support of abortion. Adrienne brushed it off and got into her awaiting vehicle, refusing to take the helicopter."I am going to the mansion. I invited some friends over," Adrienne said as she settled into the car.Daniel reminded her that she should have told him first, but Adrienne confidently replied, "It's my house."He questioned her plans, prompting her to express excitement to remove her dress and enjoy the cool air."Get in. You're coming with me," Adrienne exclaimed. "I'll drive," Daniel replied, taking the keys and dismissing the driver.Adrienne had already stripped down to her black underwear once they were in the car. "Just focus on the road. It's pool party time, baby!" she exclaimed, leaving a flustered Daniel to concentrate on driving.*******************Thanks for reading.To be continued..."Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f
"Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there
"Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at
"Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten
Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with
Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her
She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his
Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad
Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
