We drove straight to Henry's office. Tony had keyed in the direction of the place to my GPS and we moved without making any stop. According to Tony, Henry was a time freak. He didn't like any of his appointments to be even a second late and if we arrived late, then he would not attend to us. I could not risk something like that happening and so I needed to drive faster than I usually do. But finally, we got to what looked like a car park. When I finally found a place to park and I came out, it was actually a car park with lots o luxury cars being sold by the minute. "You were not joking!" I exclaimed at Tony as I watched cars that I couldn't even dream of buying currently being sold by the minute to men that I could barely recongize. "Don't be deceived by all of these and try your very best to not actually look these men in the eye okay? They get irritated easily and if you stare at them so much without them knowing you, they will just assume that you are a cop and get rid of you i
Mr. Henry was a funny looking man. Yes, one could see that he had money and his entire body showed it very well but the was just something about him that was funny looking. Maybe it was his big protruding stomach, or maybe it was the fact that he had a bald head and a full moustache or maybe, just maybe it was the several rings that he wore on his fingers that gave him the look of a gangster. But whatever it was, it did not help to hide the fact that he had money, lots of it and was not hiding it. His office was filled with pictures of almost naked women. One could hardly believe that such a place was a place of work. It looked like one had walked into the entrance of a brothel. If he was trying to keep a low profile, I don't think that he was doing a very good job at it then because everything about him actually looked like he was a mafia king. Smacking his staff on this ground, he looked at me sternly and cleared his throat. I knew he had asked a question but I couldn't tell wh
"You do know who this man is right?" Mr. Henry asked and Tony nodded his head as he was pointing at The Mafia King. "Well if you must know, he is also entitled to his own rights in this country and few years ago, he took it upon himself to partner with Jared here. The partnership was for something simple, he wanted the young man to give him some construction materials for him to be able to finish up his project." "And then what happened?" I asked, eager to get to the bottom of the story. "Boy, if you want me to help you do anything then you are gonna have to shut up and never interrupt me again, do I make myself clear?!" He bellowed at me and I immediately nodded my head. "I'm gonna need words now boy." "Yes, I understand," I said with a strong voice. Even if I was terrified, I knew that I could not show my fear in a place like this. "Very good. Now, for the bigger part of things, the young man and the mafia king partnership was going well. Tell one day, Jared found out the real
I won't be able to survive in their world. I just knew that I won't be able to. I wasn't smart enough to not drink what was placed in front of me and if Tony had not come with me, I would have down every last bit of that drink. And I didn't even know the rules that had to be followed. I would have been lost in a world like this if not for Tony. But here I was now, not knowing that I would have been killed or drugged. But I was thankful that Tony was by my side. Still, I could not help but wonder who exactly Billy was. Who was this man that made Tony's face to be free of blood? Who was this that put so much fear in him? What did the person do and how influential was this guy exactly? As I thought of all of these, I could not help but look at Tony's face again. He still did not look like he was happy about having to meet this man but he knew he would have no other choice because Henry was not giving him any. "You know you can save me from a lot of stress if you would just tell me ri
"Let's get this over with," I muttered under my breath and followed my girls to a booth, while trying desperately to ignore the turning in my stomach. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be sitting in the midst of these girls who had dared me to find a stranger and make out with him. But I lived a boring life and my best friend, Ivory, had suggested that this could be the fun I had always been looking for. As soon as we sat down, I immediately regretted listening to her. We had barely sat down when my girls started looking around the room, trying to pick the best guy for me to make out with. I stared at them in disgust. How could they be excited by the idea of making out with a stranger? I prayed silently for the alcohol to arrive and as soon as it did, I down every drop of mine and even drank Ivory's own. If I was going to do this, I was not going to do it with sober eyes. Still, the alcohol did not stop my feelings of anxiety from going on a rampage and at a point I felt like hurling
"No," I muttered under my breath as I watched the man that had me screaming in pleasure a few hours ago stand in front of me with a smile on his face. "Olivia, don't just stand there, greet them," my mom said violently and I immediately greeted."Good morning sir." "Oh no, call me Xavier and one day, I hope you will be comfortable enough to call me dad." I could see why my mom had agreed to marry a man she had just met five months ago. Just like Daniel, his father was a sight to behold. He had gray hair, a sharp and admirable face and a muscular body. Everything about him looked dream worthy and it all made sense to me. "Olivia, why don't you go bring the food from the kitchen? I am sure our guest must be starving." Mom asked and all I could do was nod. I was still shocked that I had slept with my step brother. This had to be an abomination and I was sure mom would never forgive me if she found out.Rushing to the kitchen, I heaved a sigh of relief and I stood there to decide tha
The next morning, as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Daniel sitting at the counter with a serious look on his face and I immediately felt stupid. "Of course, he is the one who did all this. And I was stupid enough to believe that he was a good person." I said to myself and angrily walked up to him. "Daniel!" I screamed while walking towards him. "Oh Olivia, thank God you are awake." He said before I could even get close to him. "Look at what I found lying on my bed when you left." He said and showed me a note.It was the same as the one I saw last night as well and it had the same picture as well. "Do not think for one second that I believe this act you are trying to put together. You did all these, didn't you?" I accused him. "What?" "I don't want to hear it but if you know what is good for you, then stay far away from me and delete these pictures." I said angrily and walked out of the house. ***We decided to go to school and ignore the eerie events of this morning and w
I was silent throughout our drive back to our penthouse but my heart was beating so fast, I was afraid that he could hear it. So many different thoughts ran through my mind. I remember vividly how I felt being held against his hard body. I could feel my hands trembling as I thought about it.I stole a glance at Daniel and his face was hard, as if he was angry and while he brooded in his anger, I took the time to admire his features. The man was handsome. The kind of beauty that would make any woman wet just at the sight and smell of him and he smelled like oak wood mixed with vanilla. He smelled delicious. My eyes moved to his lips and I yearned to touch it with mine. Unconsciously, I licked my lips as I thought of what it would feel like to kiss his and what it would taste like. 'No Olivia, this is not right,' I whispered under my breathe as he drove to our home and I tried to fight the feelings that were rising in me because just being so close to him was torture. "Someone's foll
