It started with an invitation

Laura slowly raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall, it was 12am in the morning.

She sighed and wondered when the day would break. She was so weak because she hadn't eaten anything for almost three days.

She weakly got up from the floor and climbed onto her bed, using the pillows as comfort. Tears filled her eyes for the umpteenth time. She was used to the maltreatment but it still hurt each time she was treated badly. With a weak heart and body, she prayed that dawn would arrive quickly.

Greg couldn't sleep.

He kept turning and tossing, then finally got up to take another shower. When he was done, a knock came on his bedroom door. He wondered who was disturbing him at that time of the morning.

"Who's it?"

"Mrs Andrew, sir."

Mrs Andrew was the housekeeper, a woman in her late forties. But she had the working energy that befitted a youth.

"I thought you've gone home."

He said opening the door. "Aren't you done for today?"

"Oh you know I wouldn't leave without letting you know, sir."

Greg glanced at the wall clock, it was 12am.

"Don't tell me you're leaving at this time?" He asked with widened eyes and the plumpy woman chuckled in amusement.

"No sir, not at all." She replied then hesitated. "Uh... Sir, she's still here."

Greg arched an eyebrow in question.

"The Lady Sophia sir."

He frowned.

"What? I thought she left a long time ago?"

"She did sir, but came back again at about 9pm." The woman explained.

"And Amos couldn't allow her see you because you said you didn't want to be disturbed but she said she will wait."

Greg sighed deeply. How did he get himself involved with that girl? Her clingy nature was on the highest level.

A dirty thought slid into his mind and he smirked.

Since he couldn't sleep, she might as well help him too. For she was fiery in bed and that might be just what he needed to have a restful sleep.

"Where is she?" He asked.

"In the living room." Mrs Andrew replied.

"Send her upstairs." He said. The woman nodded and left.

Few minutes later, the door opened and Sophia slowly entered the room, aware that she was breathtakingly sexy. She walked seductively towards him then stopped and leaned on the

wall with the intention of torturing him a little.

Her luring eyes travelled through his bare, strongly built chest, down to his flat, taut stomach and the huge bulge beneath his boxers.

"You finally admitted you couldn't sleep without me." She husked seductively and Greg rolled his eyes.

"Just shut up and come over here."

She found that command of his very sexy and she slowly sashayed towards him.

He roughly grabbed her body and buried his face in her neck kissing and caressing her neck with his mouth as she moaned in pleasure. She went down on her knees and released his shaft from his underwear, then began to suck him like her life depended on it. His hand went down to her breasts and squeezed as she gasped for more. Minutes later he stood her up, pushed her down on the bed and yanked her gown off and the bra followed next, then caught her nipple in his mouth and sucked and teased, while his other hand teased the other breast. She moaned and grabbed his head holding it tight to her breast as he inflicted pleasure on her. Then his hand trailed down her flat stomach to her pantie and he slipped it in and teased her clitoris while she moaned aloud in intense pleasure. He teased and teased her pleasure spot until she couldn't take it anymore then he pulled off her pantie and put on protection, then helped himself into her wetness. She screamed in delight as he rode her to her satisfaction. Then he got off her barely satisfied, left her on the bed and entered the bathroom for another shower.

It was 5am in the morning when Laura woke up and glanced at the clock again. She was disappointed because her step family would still be asleep at that time.

She yawned and stretched as her stomach rumbled for the umpteenth time, then slowly got out of bed.

She staggered to the door and turned the lock, then flopped to the floor when she discovered that the door was still locked. She fell asleep few minutes later.

She was awoken by the turning in the lock. She quickly stood up, ignoring her weak body and waited eagerly.

Then the door opened, revealing her stepmother and sister, Samantha.

Celina stood at the door with a disgusted expression on her face and Laura took a step backward.

"How does it feel to be starved for almost three days?" The woman smirked as she observed her weak face and body.

"The next time you talk to my daughter like that, I'll make sure you suffer worse."

"Tell her, mama." Samantha smirked.

"If it was left to me, I would have still left you in this room until you learnt your lesson. But fortunately for you, your...father will be back in two days and I wouldn't want him to suspect me, his dear wife." She said, obviously annoyed at the chief's arrival.

"So thank whichever god you serve for he deserves it. Now leave this room, go to the kitchen and eat as much as you can now that you have the opportunity."

With that, Laura fled to the kitchen to make up for the lost food.

Celina and Samantha shook their head in both amusement and irritation as she left.

"That girl is just so wretched." Samantha commented with a grimace.

"Just like her gold digging mother." Celina replied. "Where is your sister?"

"I think she is in her room." Samantha replied.

"Okay, you girls get dressed, we are going shopping to look good for your father's birthday party."

"Oh that's my mama! Right away."

Samantha said excitedly and sprinted to Mirabel's room to inform her.

A letter was at Greg's desk when he entered his vast office.

He picked it up and discovered it was actually an invitation card. Then he tapped on the intercom button and asked his secretary to come into his office immediately.

The young lady came in, seconds later.

"You sent for me sir."

"Yes, who delivered this card?" He asked.

"Oh it's one Miss Samantha sir, she said she's Chief West's daughter. " The secretary replied. "She actually delivered it yesterday evening after you left for the meeting with the minister."

He arched a cynical brow.

"Okay, you may go now."

The secretary left then he scanned through the card and smiled drily.

So the West family had specially invited him to Chief West's party. He thought. People he wasn't even close to and barely knew. Anyways, he had done several businesses with the chief so it wouldn't hurt if he attended the party, especially as he was invited even if he didn't want to.

He just might go to the party.
