*Chapter one*
" I am not a virgin anymore!" repeated Valeria Thompson for the umpteenth time. Her tear-stained cheeks became wet again. She had done something truly scandalous. Unconsciously, she banged her head on the steering wheel bringing about it to hoot loudly.
" Do you want to get me caught? This is not my car" she reprimanded the car pointing sternly at the steering wheel pouting her lips.
Valeria was a sunset brunette. Her hair was shoulder length and mostly curly at the edges and a bit black at the roots. Her lips had a forever touch of shiny lip gloss naturally red. She was incredibly beautiful.
Valeria Thompson came from a small country in the Northern part of the world which was going through famine and extreme poverty. Being the only girl in a family of eight she opted to find a job in another country in the south. She lost her parents at a very young age and only had her grandparents who took care of her however they were now old and their pension was restrained. Who was going to take care of them and her six brothers?
" I only came here to fend for myself but Lydia... Lydia my best friend scammed me of my money and sold me to traffickers who handle prostitution and now I lost my virginity to someone I barely know and I am in a country illegally "she cried out bitterly choking on her saliva finding it grueling to even breathe in the Maybach GLS.
Valeria had earned some money from dancing in a club back in her country, for it was the fastest way to get money because soldiers stopped by there after they suppressed riots in the country. She gave this money to a best friend who spent her money.
Valeria had been in the clutches of the traffickers for a month, crying and begging them to let her go. Every attempt would lead to fractures and broken bones which would be left to time to heal.
Luckily, yesterday they got her ready for her first client and an old man.

FLASHBACK
It was afternoon...
The door to the underground room suddenly opened with force, and a bunch of girls rushed into the room. Valeria squinted her eyes, shading them with her palms over her face till she slowly adjusted to the bright light from the outside that sipped into the room through the opened door.
The bright light nearly blinded her, as her eyes had not seen light in weeks, since she had been kept in this dark room for almost a month now.
She quickly sprung up on her feet, her eyes already starting to well up with tears.
"What do you people want from me?!"" She cried. "Please let me go! And... what have you done to my friend, Lydia?!"
They all laughed softly at her ignorance.
" Your friend personally handed you over to our boss. She can't save you " one of the ladies scoffed.
Though it was not the first time they said this to her,Valeria could not believe it. They were childhood friends after all. Plus, she saw them drag her friend away at the borders the very way they did to her, however they were separated along the way as they were in separate trains.
In all, it was unbelievable.
" What are you doing? Let me go and what have you done to my friend... why are lying to me she loves me and can never stoop so low. " She cried fighting them off.
The one who appeared to be the leader sighed and said " Shut her up but don't hurt her this time. Our client likes his toys intact "
She was struggling too much so the leader knocked her out with the bottom of her gun.
In less than two hours, she was dressed in blue sexy lingerie which left almost nothing to the imagination, it was covered up by a denim jacket. Valeria gained consciousness, she could not recognize the lady reflected in the mirror.
Her hair was let down and adorned with flowers and an enchanting fragrance amidst the air.
At this time they handed over to her a bottle of champagne and personally escorted her with a gun pointing at her little head to the desired room.
" Use the key card and open the room!" it was a voice which did not give a chance for any denial.
Before she could do it, the door opened and a man in his late fifties dripping in sweat and half naked pulled a n*de girl out of the room by pulling her by a leg.
" This one is defective. She fainted after the sixth round. When will you guys give me someone who suits the amount I gave you" the man complained, contorting his already wrinkled face.
Subconsciously his eyes fell on the 1.6m beauty dressed beautifully; it was the scent oozing from her that got his attention.
The man stopped gawking for a while then turned his gaze to the ladies who brought his new toy " Wow! She looks out of this world but is so-so fragile. Are you sure she would handle me?"
Valeria looked at the man disgustedly, still keeping her head down. She had learned the hard way that staring into their eyes led to broken bones. At this moment she could not feel her fingers.
The two women who accompanied her laughed meaningfully. Instantly the blonde in their midst injected a substance into her veins and pushed her into the open room.
One of the ladies pointed out " She is all yours now"
Tears filled Valeria's eyes she cursed and cried out " Please do not leave me here. I promise to be good and I w-will n_never try to escape again"
Sadly, it all fell on deaf ears. She watched how they dragged the unconscious girl away ruthlessly bumping her into objects.
The old man kneeled on one knee, caressing her chin " Hey pretty one. Do not ruin your fantastic make-up by crying over spilled milk. Listen to my orders and I will spoil you"
She shot him a deathly glare and it was rewarded with a hard slap across her face from him.
" You b*tch "
He pulled her and threw her to the bed. For a man his age, he was surprisingly very strong.
" Now I will teach you a good lesson. And every time I drop here I will eat only you my -little feisty SLUT" his slimy fingers roam on her smooth skin, causing Val to flinch at his disgusting touch.
In a quick second, she pushed him and kicked him in his vital part.
" Not even in my nightmares" she bellowed, staring down at him.
He fell into a groin holding his vital area in pain.
With that, she made him unconscious by pressing a special nerve on his neck. A trick she learned from one of the soldiers who courted her. They were to get married but he was killed in the field.
Thinking about him made her tear up, however it was not time to cry. She instantly ran out of the room, her body getting hotter by the moment.
" There she is .. get her!" she heard one of the security men yell pointing at her
Springing from her feet she ran endlessly upstairs to another floor. The first room she saw opened and she rushed in closing the door.
" Thank you l-lord," said Valeria panting heavily by the door which was now closed.
" Who are you? Take off your clothes" she heard a commanding voice from the dark.
Valeria felt her inner skin getting hot, nonetheless, she could not take off the jacket if so it would be left with only the lingerie she had on.
" I think you got the wrong girl. I came here by mistake-e" Val corrected, taking two cautious steps back.
" Why are you panting so much?" She heard him ask slowly.
Valeria shut her eyes to curb the urge she was feeling. It was new and she despised it.
"I th...think I... have been... d...drugged..." the words were spilled with so much difficulty. She felt the substance spread rapidly taking over her emotions.
As it was a spell, the man in the darkness rushed to her pushing her against the wall. He kissed her forcefully.
" Me too " his hoarse voice echoed in the room.
" You taste good. Let's help each other"in less than a second, he took over her lips obsessively.
Before she could resist the drug took over and he tore her lingerie to shreds. He had been dying in silence in the room thankfully this girl came along or else it would have killed him. It was not the normal drug that arouses sexual pleasure this was deadly, after this night he would not spare the person who did this.
The next morning, she woke up feeling an intense pain between her legs. This man had taken her more than seven rounds which she lost count in between and it was not altogether his fault. She was extremely insatiable like a starving baby. He kept on flipping her and she thanked him with her shameless moans.
Thinking of this her ears and cheeks became immediately flushed. She stared at the man lying on the king-sized bed though she did not see his face because his back was facing her. She saw his broad shoulders and the platinum dagger tattoo on his back. Her mind drifted to how selfless he was in putting her desires before his, which she heard from friends was impossible to have got from a man. It was truly an amazing first which will be forever in her memory.
Getting off slowly, she tiptoed to the cupboard to get something that whereas her clothes were in shreds. Finding nothing that suited her, she took out a shirt that covered her knee with no panties on. She felt air cooling down the hot and sore area between her thighs.
It felt good.
On her way out she took his keys and loose change found rushing out of the hotel like a mad woman without ever looking back.
Luckily, she took his car and left that awful hotel and now she was miles away from it.
"I promise to return your car, mister..." Val said with determination, sparing the hotel one last look before swerving into a dark street.
PRESENTLY
*Chapter two * PRESENTLY Xander Gates's eyes shimmered from beams of sun puckering into the room and reflecting on his face. He had a sweet smile on as memories of last night overran his mind. " Damn that girl was ..." " Girl? Which girl? ...wait don't tell me you are fantasizing about another woman in my presence " His eyes opened immediately to face Olivia Lance. The girl he had been toying with to get her father to accept the terms of his contract. Olivia was a tall glamorous platinum blonde who is one of the most famous supermodels in the City of FL. At this moment the short man who looked older than her as he was in his late forties said " He is not envisioning. A girl was here last night can't you see the uncomfortable used condoms in that thrash bin" Olivia observed the direction of Alfredo's arm. She was stunned and a bit taken aback. Normal people usually use a minimum of two condoms but ..he used an entire packet with this girl and it
Val scoured the car for any spare clothes, thankfully luck was on her side; for she found a shirt and trousers which seemed to be just her size. She studied the neighborhood stands and the post newspaper in her hands for any news for jobs. Standing under a shade eating steam buns, Val let out a loud sigh " Bah! All these jobs require a CV but I don't have one. I lost all my credentials to those baboons. How will I get employed now? " Meticulously, she spotted a group of men transporting bags of cement into a truck. Behind them was a short and fat middle-aged woman wearing a frown. As if bitten, Val sprang up. She quickly ate all the buns and walked towards the group of men. " You guys are so slow. Hurry up, I need all this at my warehouse in City V" the middle-aged woman screamed supporting her arms on her thick waist. That was how the depressed feeling evaporated and it was covered by a sweet smile. Val coughs out to get their attention. " Greetings
This made her sob more. " Why are you quiet?" they continued to poke her with their long fake nails. " Here is your food. Eat up" the female superintendent arrived and passed the tray of jello rice under the bars of the cell. As always, they took the tray to eat all the food. They never bothered to ask Val if she would eat or not. But at this moment, Val took a deep breath and said for the first time in ninety-six hours she spoke. "I am hungry. Please can I have my own share" Agnes smirked at the newbie's confidence. Though she used please there was a sense of passive bellicosity in her tiny voice. "See who grew Wings?" Agnes stopped the others from eating despite being angry none dared to question her. She then leisurely sauntered to Val who had her head bowed as usual. " Are you hungry baby?" inquired Agnès in a baby's voice. Glaring into Agnes's eyes, she spoke in conviction " Yes! I am. Did I stutter? " After this, Agnès poured
Valeria pushed the lens on the bridge of her nose nervously. This was no longer the madam's Villa but the biggest skyscraper in the city. It was a construction company owned by the thirty-three-year-old Xander Gates. Valeria wore a lengthy sleeve blue turtleneck sweater covered with a jacket matched with regular-fit jeans. She didn't wear make-up except for the shiny lip gloss she is fond of. Pinning her hair behind her small ears she walked past the security and then the revolving door. Everyone seemed busy as they brushed past her. No one cared to return any of her greetings rather they stared in a scrutinizing way. " Good morning. Where can I find the boss's office?" The girl she spoke to stopped whatever she was doing on the computer. " Humph," she snorted, moving her gaze to the cheap pair of his sandals that Val wore. " Hey guys " The entire floor halted in their activities and stared in the direction of the loud voice. Pointing to Val, th
* Chapter 6 * Scrutinizing this, his eyes were burning in animosity to a juncture where he shoved down one of the computers to the floor where it was obliterated due to his force. " Well. Alright... I will see how long you can stay here, sooner or later you will give up " He was a bit frustrated even after one hour he would leave his pending work for minutes to peek at the girl on the screen who appeared to be reading on web novel. It was at this time he gazed at her long neck, long thick eyelashes, which was visible as he zoomed in and paused the recording. It was a stunning angle of her, the lens was at the bridge of her nose that he could see her cerulean blue eyes " It can not be her "uttered Xander, caressing the picture on the screen. ' Knock _ The loud knock on the door made him snap out of his daydreaming. It was Kira, " Boss, Mr. Feng has arrived for the meeting " His arrogant and oppressive aura resurface replacing the soft look in
* Chapter 7 * Kira stomped her feet with an ugly look. " I have been working here for the past three years then why did he choose that four eyes " In the boardroom ' achoo ' Val rubbed her nose lightly. " Do you have a cold?" one of Xander's PAs inquired. He had his eyes glued to her the entire time, the lady was startling and the lens at the bridge of her nose made her cuter. " I am fine "replied Valeria, setting up the table for the board meeting. She pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose, then rubbed it slightly. She sensed the awkward silence and began a conversation to lighten the mood. " Are you nervous?" " I would be lying if I said I am not. We have been preparing for this day for months. " " Mmm" " Xander was not sure about it but this deal is important and worth millions of revenue if everything is equal " " Yeah we all have worked hard for it " Sam chuckled upon hearing this. He glanced at the girl...she was
* Chapter 8 * The elevator opened up to the lobby at the last floor. Everyone began to whisper upon seeing her appearance but Valeria raised up her chin and took slow and straight steps in confidence. One thing she was taught back when she was an infant from her grandmother was almost to look confident than afraid. "Is that not the clothing she wore yesterday what about the fancy one boss gave her?" the first eyes that clashed with Valeria's then diverted, abruptly began. "He probably has lost interest in her and taken back his gift. We all know the Boss is a narcissist " spoke the latter. The taller one who began the conversation wrapped her arms over her chest and agreed " Yeah true. Even Olivia said he was incapable of being victimized by ' love ' . This bimbo thought she was different " "True ". They all laughed as she walked passed. #### Her words rang in his ears repeatedly. 'You can not even win over that poor lady, I truly wonder
* Chapter 9 * Valeria was about to open the gate with the card in her hands when the corner of her eye noticed a figure having an issue or so. She swiftly turned with her gaze over the streets. "Oh my!" she ran across the street dodging cars. Quarter of the Wealthy, QW as it is famously called, was half past six meaning it was the time when they all returned from their workplaces to their villas. Therefore, the once calm streets became busy. Most cursed at Val while an exceptional few apologized despite being her fault. Upon reaching her destination she found the familiar woman struggling to get something from her bag. "Mrs. Greene?" It was the very woman who left Xander's board room unsatisfied. "What happened?" She asked however the old lady seemed to find it difficult to breathe. She held her chest with her mouth open sucking air. "Inha.." "You mean your inhaler? Is that what you are searching from your bag?" Without waiting for the woman to
