Stay away from me.

PIERCE.

I watch as they make their way out of the resturant and i immediately make my way towards the dressing room.

The thoughts of that bastard touching and making love to my woman puts me on an edge and i cannot help but worry for her safety.

I always told her long ago that, once i get my hands on her, I'm never letting her go. She should have been mine first, she should have been with me a long time ago, courage was what i lacked, i couldn't approach her to tell her of my feelings and that bastard beat me to it. The bet, that fucking bet.

As i enter the shower, thoughts of the night we spent together in the club comes flooding my memory. The way i made her moan my name.

I remember that all she kept moaning was for me to fuck her, deeper and deeper and it made me fucking excited.

I made her moan my name on all fours. Yes, on all fours and it was literaly the best night of my life.

She is the most beautiful woman ever and the fact that Dexter makes her feel less of a woman and less confident makes me want to hold her in my arms, comfort her and tell her all the best words ever.

I am greatful for Sofia.... If not Sofia, none of this would have been possible, i wouldn't have had my chance with my bebita.

I stroll into my small bedroom after a satisfying shower, fully dressed. I pick up my phone from the small cupboard by the side hoping Stacy got the message earlier and would call me using the card i gave her.

Soon after the phone rings and it's an unknown number, i say a silent prayer in my heart for it to be Stacy, heaven knows how bad i want to hear her voice right now.

"Hello". Her sweet voice rings through the phone as soon as i place it on my ears.

Excitment like the wind travel through my body and i find it hard to contain but i still have to keep it in check. I don't need her knowing i am excited for her.

I want her to come to me by herself, i want her to want me, to need me, i want her to be mine willingly not by force or coersion and i know exactly how to achieve my goal

"Hi, baby"

She inhales and exhales as if preparing to say something. "Pierce"?.

Fuck, there's somehting about the way she just said my name, so sexy and arousing.

"Yes baby. Tell me anything, tell me whatever you want to tell me and I'll listen to you even if it's for the rest of our lives".

"What exactly are you? Who are you"?

She really wants to know huh...then I'll let her know.

"I am the one man that will love you like no other man would, that will cherish you for the rest of your life, that will give up on every good thing in life just to have you by my side, that will.....

"Stop, Stop Pierce". She interrupts me."No doubt you are a good man with a good heart but i am not the woman for you, you need to understand that. Dexter is good enough for me. Your woman is out there somewhere and instead of wasting all you time on me, look for her".

"Is he treating you right"? I ask.

"Yes, he is". She replies almost immediately.

"Then why did you come into that room that night at the club? Why did you approach me to make that night the best you've ever had? Why did you......"

"I wasn't thinking straight and i needed to clear my head, turns out i chose the wrong way". She says, murmuring the last part.

"You didn choose the wrong way, just that you don't see it yet". I tell her, trying to sound convincing.

"Please, don't look for me again. Let this be the last time we meet or see each other, stop stalking me and forget that you ever met me".

She drops the call and i smash my phone on the wall, she sounds pained, like the situation is overwhelming for her.

Obviously, she is trying to salvage whatever is left of her marriage to that bastard and she dosen't want me to ruin it.

No, i won't let her go. even if i give up on her i would first expose the son of a bitch for who he really is.

I pick my cracked phone and dial a number, as soon as they pick up I speak. "What did you find out about him"?

"There are a lot of odd things going on dude, very odd transactions, we'll have to set our very own trap for him to fall into and doing so won't be easy, we'll need millions for it to happen".

"It'll take time, but we'll definitely get him in our trap". I remark.

I really don't feel like seeing anyone right now, the only person on my mind is Stacy and everything she's going through but i really need to talk to Sofia.

SOFIA'S POV.

Why is he staring at me like that.

"Why are you here Pierce"?

Well that's not his actual name but we've decided to stick to it for Stacy's sake.

"The company, who does it belong to"?.

"You mean Raddison corp? It belongs to Stacy but she signed it to Dexter, something about proving her love to him".

When he asked about the company, I knew immediately that he was referring to Stacy, he only ever asks me about Stacy. He's gotten every single info about her from me and still, he wants to know more. It's like he's obsessed with her and the only reason his obsession is not on full display is because he dosen't want to scare her away.

"He's planning to sell and run away with the money. I mean Dexter". He says plainly.

I gasp in surprise, that son of a bitch, so cheating on her is not enough pain, he's also going to put her in debt.

"What are we gonna do now". I ask, fear clearly taking over me.

"I have a plan but you still have to help me".

I'll do anything to help, Pierce. Stacy is my bestfriend and i know she'll need all the help she can get. I inhale sharply. "She dosen't still know it's you right"?

He shakes his head. "No". He stares into space as if trying to recollect a certain memory.

"Should we tell her"?

"No we shouldn't. That will ruin everything". He says.

It's painful that she dosen't remember him at all, all the times they spent together.

"How did you not forget her and move on"?.

"She was literally my first, my first everything, how can i ever move on from my first love, how Sofia".?

I place a comforting hand over his shoulder. "We'll definiely find a way for you both to be back together, i promise".

I'm suprised, really , was she so obsessed with Dexter that she forgot Pierce so quickly? Well i wouldn't blame her.

She literally got together with Pierce to make Dexter Jealous. He put his all into the relaionship but i really can't say say same for Stacy. I guess like Stacy right now, Pierce was too blind to see that Anna was using him to get to Dexter.

Where everything ended for Pierce was The bet.

"Hey you are staring"? He says with a frown on his face.

I chuckle. "I'm sorry".

"A dollar for your thoughts"? He says bringing out a dollar from his pocket.

"Keep that away". I laugh. "How did you change so much". I ask seriously. "This look, the body, the confidence. How did you get all of this? We all know you were one sickly, thin, tanned skin afro hair boy, so how did you manage to pull all of this".?

"Let's just say God did". He says with a smile, a smile of victory.

"You don't even look like an average citizen, you look top class".

"Well i'm not. I'm a normal citizen trying to fight for the love of my woman and deliver her from the clutches of her evil husband".

"Yeah whatever". Simp. "Care for wine"?

"Wouldn't decline". He says as we move over to the bar.
