Hi, friends. I have a bad day today. But having a bad day doesn't mean I have a bad life, right?
Henry’s POV The snow is still falling even though today is the end of the year. I get into the car, and Jack drives me to the Starlight Sands Casino. This is the biggest deal of the year, so I have to go by myself. If I can sign this contract, my company will be able to trade on the Silk Road in the Asia Pacific region. So I need to win the game to sign the contract. This rule has been in effect for one hundred years. According to the initial arrangement, I can only bring one man along. So I went with Jack, as usual. In the car, I stare at Sarah through my phone. She appears dejected in front of the Chanel store. Does she want to purchase those clothes? I frown, looking at her for a while. I suppose she might go to meet Victor and report everything about me to him but not. As she moves, I put my phone in my pocket because we've arrived at the casino. "Here we are!" Jack raises his voice. As I walk out of the car, the chilly air brushes my skin, and snowflakes fall around me
Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a senior at Cascade High School in NYC. I am 18 years old. Today is supposed to be a special day for me, but to be honest, everything feels quite mundane. "And the champion is... SARAH RAVEN!!!" the host's voice booms through the microphone. My parents sit beside me in the stands, clapping with pride as my name is announced. Mom can't hold back her tears of joy, while Dad nudges me to go up to the stage. My classmates cheer and clap, a few girls looking envious. But despite all the excitement, I feel nothing. I make my way up to the stage and recite the thank you speech that Mom had prepared for me earlier in the day. I'm rewarded with $10,000 and a scholarship to study at Harvard University, courtesy of DC Company, one of the top companies in the field. My parents stand up and applaud while the sponsor places a garland around my neck, shakes my hand, and takes a picture. After school, I hang out with my best friend Mia in the schoolyard, but I stil
Sarah’s POV. Everyone in the club cheers and claps enthusiastically. I'm excited and stand up abruptly. Mia winks at me and I nod back at her. This is my chance! I step up to the stage and register my favorite song. It's a song that I wrote myself and saved up money to have someone arrange and compose the music. I send the beat and notes to the backup team, and it's finally ready to perform. This is the first time I sing in front of so many people. My hands shake as I grab a drink and chug it down in one gulp. I pour another glass and drink it to gain courage. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sarah Raven to perform her song 'Love on the Sand'." As I walk towards the stage, I can feel my heart beating faster and faster. I take a deep breath and remind myself that I belong there, that I have something to say, and that I'm not going to let anyone stop me. I close my eyes for a moment, and then I step onto the stage. The audience looks at me, waiting for me to start. I take anoth
Henry’s POV. As I watch Sarah's face light up with recognition, I can't help but feel a sense of relief. It's been so long since we last saw each other, and I wasn't sure if she would remember me. But she does, and I'm grateful for that. I smile warmly at her, taking in her features. I didn't recognize her until I paid close attention to her performance. She's grown up to be such a damn beautiful woman, and I can't help but feel drawn to her. Some so many men look at her in hunger as if they want to f*ck her after she goes down from the stage, and I swear I want to blow their heads off at once. "Guilty as charged," I reply, still smiling. "By the way, let's get out of this place, Sarah." I take her hand, and we walk outside. However, the air becomes awkward as she remains silent while I continue to hold her hand. I'm not one to talk much about myself, although I'm proud of what I've accomplished over the years. I bet Sarah would be shocked if she knew that her childhood friend is
Sarah’s POV. "I know it's tough," he says, trying to comfort me. "If you need a shoulder, I'm here for you." I feel his hand squeezing mine, and I can't help but feel a flicker of hope. I just told him half of the truth, another slice of the coin is the song I compose when I think about him. And he is the man I describe to him. Well, as soon as he speaks, I can feel my heart sinking. He didn't come back for long. It's like a confirmation of all the fears and doubts that have been gnawing at me for years. Even though I'm six years old at that time, I still never forget the feeling when we’ve been together. "Don't make me laugh, Henry. You've broken your promise." Yes, you did. You promised that we would become a couple when I grow up. But you disappeared. "We were just kids back then, Sarah," he says, and I can feel my emotions starting to get the better of me. I don't want to cry in front of him, but I can feel the tears pricking at the corners of my eyes. Before I can even proce
Henry's POV. "Henry, I can't breathe," she says in a sweet voice, her breath hot against my ear. Damn, she's hot, and she knows it. I used to see women as annoying creatures, with some of them possibly being spies that my enemies installed to assassinate me or gather secret information. In short, women came with risks. But today, what's wrong with me? What did she do to me? I respect her this time and never want to hurt her. I take a deep breath and try to focus on the present moment. I don't want to ruin this moment by letting my past habits take over. I feel her body pressed against mine and the warmth of her breath on my neck. I pull away slightly and look into her eyes. "Can I...?" I ask, my voice is soft and gentle. She nods and smiles, and I feel a surge of warmth in my chest. I want to protect her, to make her feel safe and loved. But I also know that I need to be honest with myself and with her. "I just want you to know that I really care about you," I say, my voice low
Sarah’s POV. Standing in front of the person I love, I’m in my spicy outfit. He removes his shirt, revealing a powerful torso with eight-pack abs. His arms are covered in tattoos, which I cannot clearly see in the dim lighting. Additionally, he has a tattoo of a wolf on his chest. He starts to push me down onto the bed while running his hand inside my underwear and massaging my breasts with the other. His handsome appearance has made my nipples start to harden. As he probs my clit, I squeals with pleasure. He tears my dress, leaving me completely exposed. “Ma’am,” As his dick brushes against my cunt, someone opens the door and bursts into the room. I ignore her because my pussy gets wet and I want him to fuck me more than ever. “Ma’am, please wake up.” The woman stands there, interrupting our happy moment and keeps calling me. Ring! Ring! The sound of the alarm adds to our discomfort. I feel like I'm going completely insane. I open my eyes and stare up at the ceiling. As I look
Henry’s POV. The sun sets on another day at the bustling my office, a prominent player in the business world. But for two of its top executives, the day is far from over. Daniel and I are in the midst of a crisis, trying to uncover the thief who has stolen a critical document that could make or break our company. "Yes, we need to figure out who stole the document and how they did it. That could give us some leverage," Daniel says, his brow furrowed in deep thought. "I'll start going through our security footage and see if I can identify anyone suspicious," I say, already moving towards the security room. "Of course," Daniel replies. "I'll see if I can dig up any leads from our informants." As I scan through the footage, my heart sinks as I see someone I recognize - it's one of our own employees, Rachel. I can't believe she would betray us like this. My mind races as I think of all the times this bitch falls in front of me, pretending to be clumsy, only to reveal her true identity
