Vanessa

I don’t even wait on a response to my knock because I know he’s so rude and might want to keep me standing for long for having taken that much time. I walk in and everyone is staring at me making me feel too conscious. 

What the hell have they been talking about? I hope they don’t think I’ve been eavesdropping cos I wasn’t. Why would I even want to eavesdrop? They were probably having a chauvinist party downgrading all the women they know. Why would I want to partake in that?

Or do I have a stain on my dress? Or is my hair out of place? I always make sure to check that I’m alright cos I don’t want to misrepresent my bosses. I really took my time this morning to fix myself up knowing we would have guests today.

 Or do they know about the crush that I’ve been nursing for Dimitri and his older brother? I know it’s twisted but they’re magnificent in their own ways especially Stefan who is so perfect and dreamy. Is that why him and his friends have that look on their faces? Do they disapprove? Who are they to have an opinion on who I have a crush on? He may be my boss but he doesn’t pay me well enough to dictate who I spend the rest of my life with. Imaginary or not.

“ Are you even listening?”

I didn’t even realize he was speaking.

“ Yes. No. What?” 

“ I said Marry me.”

Okay I’m very sure that he wasn’t speaking to me or why would he even say that. I look behind me in search of the beautiful, elegant lady he might be talking to but I’m the only female in the room. 

Wait! Is he gay? I look behind me once again and see that I’m stood between him and his best friend Carter. My eyes go wide. I always had this feeling deep down that they both had an unusual relationship with Carter calling him sweetheart and other pet names every now and then.

With the fact that they both never try to settle with one person and sometimes even share the same women. I even heard once that they used to attend the same orgies. Oh! My! God! Are they trying to make it official now that his father is dead. He probably would have disapproved which is why they had to wait till after his death. This is both surprising and beautiful. I can’t believe I used to have a crush on him.

I decide to take some steps back to give them the much needed privacy. I start to look at them both with my hand on my wide open mouth waiting for the response.

Carter turns to look at me as if reading my mind “ he’s talking to you”. 

“ No he’s talking to you” I reply immediately because why would he be talking to me. 

“ No I’m talking to you Vanessa” his rich voice fills the air consuming me whole while sending tingles down my spine with the way he drags my name. 

My momentous hypnosis wears off and I suddenly go into a fit of dry, sarcastic laughter with a straight face.

Are you seriously trying to make a fool of me in front of your friends? Marry you? Why would you ever want to do that? 

I keep laughing while slowly dragging my feet out of the study. My work there is all done so I don’t see the need to stay there and be made into a jester by the rich, spoiled and coddled idiots in the study.

I make my way back down to the kitchen with fury burning through me. What the hell was that? What was he playing at? Why did he always have to open his mouth and ruin everything? What did I do to make him think that I deserve to be made fun of like that?. I guess it’s because I’m his maid. People like that only know how to use their employees however they want and throw them away like ragdolls when they’re done.

We’ll that’s not gonna be me. I’m going to be leaving here very soon.

“ What’s wrong honey?” My mom Christina pulls me into her embrace. “ Nothing is wrong. I just feel really drained after having to serve the devil some wine. I’ll probably feel better after some time.” 

“ You’ll probably have to rest some other time. Dinner is about to begin and you know we’ll need to attend to the guests.”

“ Unfortunately.”

“ It’s a wonder that we don’t have to feed them the food straight in their mouths while patting them on the back since we have to do everything for them.”

“ Don’t complain. Just be grateful that you get to work and save money to leave here and get a better life. A lot of people don’t have that.”

“ Yeah, Yeah. I do count my blessings but I wish I could get out of her quicker."

She hugs me again and then pats my cheek “ It will all get better. I promise.” I really hope it does.

“ It’s time” we hear Marlon say and we all scurry around to make sure of a successful dinner because there’s nothing worse than a bad dinner to these high class people. Especially the women. We’re really so lucky that our boss Rina doesn’t have much care for these things so we’re not all too worried.

We walk into the dining area and the silence was so loud that you could hear the waves of it reverberating through the walls. The tension was so thick that you’ll need more than an ordinary knife to cut through it. I really hate these settings. Isn’t the death of one family member enough to bring the others together. I guess rich people are just like that.

On one end of the table sits Stephan at the head of the table, where his late father used to sit fitting the role of a responsible head of the family. Looking all beautiful and regal with the way he owns everything by just being present on that seat. I guess it’s true that a king doesn’t need to announce his presence.

His aura and demeanor is enough to make his presence know and felt. I just wish I could walk over to him, hold him in a tight embrace, console him and just reassure him that everything will get better. On his right sits his mother, Rina Ian formerly Williams. For a while, long back, she used to be Mr. Marcus Ian’s mistress.

Rumor has it that she was originally engaged to be married to him , and even pregnant with Stefan at the time. But he was forced by his father to leave her for a while, due to the responsibility of having to carry their name along with another wealthy heir through an arranged marriage, and got married to Mrs. Tatiana. He still refused accept her and kept on seeing Rina until his sworn responsibility came back to put him on a chock hold, thereby leading to the birth of Dimitri.

After Mrs. Tatiana’s death, he returned back to marry his one true love after many years apart. Honestly, despite popular opinion, I don’t think there is anyone more romantic than the Late Mr. Ian.

Seated on the left of Stephan is his baby sister, Alana. So beautiful, she’s the perfect combination of her mother and father. With a beautiful face like that of her mother’s, she had striking features like her father. With long, brown hair like her mother’s and matching color of eyes with her father which she has in common with Dimitri.

Depending on the angle you see her from, she sometimes looks like the feminine version of Dimitri. She has this hypnotic, hot femme fatale look that you can get lost staring at. I think it’s part of the reason why Trent, Dimitri’s best friend cannot keep his eyes off her. I’m sure that this will not sit right with Dimitri considering that she’s also staring at his best friend.

Are they hinting at something?

On the far end of the table sits Dimitri looking like the tyrant King that he is. His energy is enough to fill the room with darkness and make everyone and everything in it feel small and that calm and unreadable look on his face, like the calm before an unpredictable storm is really not helping ease the tension. 

It is no news how much he hates his father’s other family as he has never failed to emphasize on his sentiments towards them. There has never been a time when he backed down from letting his siblings know that they’re bastards intruding on his territory, even in public. He doesn’t fail to let them know that they would never truly be accepted into the family and his grandfather helped fuel his attitude till he died. 

He seems to hold a grudge against them for his mother’s death but in my opinion, if he was to blame anyone, be should blame the people who forced her into a marriage with someone who did not care for her and never failed to hide it.

On his right sits Carter Forbes, his ever loyal wingman. His right hand person and twin from another mother. Seated looking all high and mighty with his perfectly looking face. He has sift features despite being one of the most masculine man I’ve ever seen, especially when he smiles, with his dimples and all and I’m sure that’s what calls in the women.  Maybe that was why I thought he was proposing to him.I ’m still not convinced he didn’t.

To his farther right is Brian Bradford, heir to Bradford and Co a multi-billion dollar engineering company. Despite being blessed with wealth and all, he happens to be the level headed of the bunch and is married to Estelle who sits next to him. They have a kid on the way. 

To his left is Trent Castor. The perfect blend and balance of Carter and Brian. Is not committed to anyone right now but is rumored to be very intentional and involved in whomever and whatever catches his fancy. It’s no wonder he’s able to balance being a billionaire real estate expert and hotel managing guru while being a playboy at the same time. 

I really do wonder why he can’t seem to concentrate on anything that is not Miss. Alana.

“ So… Dimitri, are you planning on moving back home now that your father is gone?. At least to be closer to family” Rina asks breaking the silence.

“ Wouldn’t you like to know that?” He responds dryly.

“ That was a harmless question” Stefan retorts.

Dimitri let’s out a dry laugh “ Harmless. Or is she trying to know if the new owner of the house would let her stay considering the fact that she has nothing to offer now and had to coerce the former owner by selling herself off to him?” 

“ Tell me, isn’t that what you really want to know?” He says with his face still void of emotions.

I see Stephan about to get up and defend his mother but his mother wraps her hand around his to calm him down. It isn’t really working cos I can still feel the anger rolling off him in waves from where I’m stood.

“ I just really wanted to make conversation. To know if you’re moving in that’s all”.

“ Well my only family is dead and I do not need to answer unnecessary questions”. Everyone goes right back to eating quietly.  

I suddenly feel eyes on me and I can guess who they belong to. I refuse to acknowledge anything though even though it’s hard to ignore. His presence is all too consuming, like a burst of smoke engulfing you in it’s harmful and blinding embrace. 

I will not look up at him. I refuse to acknowledge what he said earlier and I’ll go on to pretend that I didn’t hear him tell me to marry him in an attempt to ridicule me in front of his friends. I would never give him the satisfaction of knowing that I am still shaken by his words.

“I would like to have my dessert now” he says in a breathy tone that sends chills straight down to my core. Why does it feel like he’s talking to me. I still will not acknowledge him.

I raise my head to look at Bianca and she motions at me to get his dessert.

Why don’t you do it yourself? I don’t want to go near that man.

I nod and force myself to move. I can’t be in defiance right in front of them. I come right back with a platter of chocolate mousse cake and proceed to cut a piece and place it on a saucer for him and go on to serve him. I am suddenly enveloped in his addicting woodsy scent and become all to aware of his presence. It doesn’t help that he reaches out and slightly touches my finger as I set down his plate.

The touch was so thin and almost non-existent and I would have thought I had imagined it if I didn’t look up straight into his eyes and saw the fiery look in them. It all happened so fast but I’ll be damned if it didn’t feel like forever. 

I mistakenly run my hand into a bottle of wine and send it spilling it’s content all over the table, running down all over his pants.

Oh Lord! This is the trouble I had foreseen! What do I do?!

“ What the hell” 

“ I’m very sorry sir, I’m so sorry”

I reach out for a napkin and try to clean the mess I started but he stops me before I’ve even made a move.

Right now, everyone has stopped whatever they were doing and watching us closely like we are their only source of entertainment. His friends pass knowing looks around each other in silent communication while trying to hide their laughter.

Seriously, what is wrong with these guys? Why do they always have to go out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable?

The others just keep looking at us.  “ Are you alright Vanessa”. Stephan asks me making my cheeks go red in embarrassment.

He actually knows my name! 

“ Yes she is alright. And I am too thanks for asking”. He looks at me “ Just take the bottle and get out of my sight.”

“ I’m sorry” I say once again as I reach for the bottle and turn around to leave. 

“ Is everything okay babe?” Tatiana asks me.

“ No. Everything is not okay. Everything suddenly became my nightmare cos I couldn’t help keeping my clumsy self out of trouble.”

“ Oh God, I’m having a headache I need to lie down."

“ Stop being a drama queen. It couldn’t have been that bad.”

“ It actually was worse. I spilled wine all over his pants and with the look he gave me, I’m sure I’ll be battling ghosts and wraiths tonight.”

Leon reaches to smoothen my hair.

“ What should we do to make it feel better?” Tianna asks.

“ How about you give me a million dollars and promise not to give off my future location.” 

“ I wish I had a million dollars. I wouldn’t need to work here would I?” she responds. 

Just when I was finally starting to feel better, Marlon walks in and announces.

“ Vanessa, Mr. Dimitri would like to see you in his study in five minutes” 

“ Why do you have to always be the bearer of bad news? I just know I’m either getting fired or I’m getting a salary cut because of the expensive wine I wasted."

 I was saving for a lot of things and it will be very sad if my money is either cut off or cut short. I have to start racking my brain for the perfect excuse.

“ Three minutes now. Hurry!”

I hurry up the stairs. Better to make it early than having to make up excuses for why you were two seconds late to my tyrant boss. 

“ Come in” as if he already knows that I’m here and about to knock. 

I make my way in. “ You can have a seat. You might want to sit for this. Trust me”. I decided to take his word and sit.

He obviously caught me staring at his brother like he's the light brightening up my world. I did not even notice him coming up behind me because I was so engulfed in watching his brother.

He knows that there's no better way to get rid of my frustrations.“ What the fuck are you doing man? What the hell is wrong with you?Two questions in the same sentence and a serious looking face. Something must be going on with him. “ Why the hell would you question me?" I say as I take another swing at the object.“ Why do you keep hitting?

  • My boss wants me    The right dress

    Vanessa The day appears to be very normal. The musky and fresh scent from the rain that fell the night before, still lingers in the air. It's a bit chilly and wet and the pleasant smell of petrichor helps to lighten up my mood. I once heard that when it rains, plants release into the atmosphere oils that are formed in the dry season. I guess those plants secretly possess calming gases because I still do not understand why I still have it together while freaking out on the inside. This is another level of control because I am supposed to be getting married in less than five days. Honestly, this is the kind of day that I'd prefer to sit back, with a cup of hot chocolate and glorify God for his very impressive artwork. Rather I'm out, shopping for wedding rings with my very unexcited groom. He looks very bored and bothered at the same time. He has this look that says that he wants to get rid of everything that is beneath him, me included. Wow I'm sure everyone can feel how ecstatic he i

It has also been seven days since I last heard from him. I have no idea if he is doing alright or if he's alive or dead. I have tried but have not been able to call him. Not that I don't have the means to reach him or that he has forbidden me from calling him. I just don't know what to say when I do call him. Do I ask about the weather? Do I ask about his business? But I know nothing about it. Do I ask about his business partners or what? What do normal couples talk about over the phone?He has been less mean and we have great sex but we are not friends. Apart from that time we saw a movie and a few more times after that, we don't exactly hang out. We go out for dinner now and then to keep up with the farce but there is nothing real about it.

I can hardly sleep every night without being plunged back into the car.Dimitri and everyone keep trying their best to convince me that the car was hit by a falling g tree branch but I know better and cannot be convinced otherwise.

    I watch as the dinner happens and I cannot help but admire the feistiness in her. Vanessa, what a lovely name. It sounds like something so delicate. I would expect that she would be delicate but I beg to differ after I saw the fire and how she nearly ripped Francesca apart.I never would have guessed that Dimitri would get himself a wild one for a wife. I thought she would be docile, and easy to control but she has a bit of him in her. She is almost as scary as him. I hope I get to experience some of that heat when I take her for myself.It is funny that the entire household, the entire table has no idea who is listening in or watching them. They are oblivious to their environment which gives me an advantage. I wanted nothing more than to have access to their hotel room so that I can at least please myself by watching his wife but the man knows how to make a fortress of anywhere he is. It was hard to penetrate his office but I did it and now he thinks everyone is out to get him. Good.

    “Oh, God! Dimitri." My body trembles uncontrollably and I shut my eyes as I come all over the place. He lowers his head to my shoulder and bites my pulse as he comes inside of me. His hit semen shoots through me like lava and I commit it, along with all other actions that have taken place, into memory. It is unintentional but I know I will never forget this feeling. I can never forget Dimitri even if I try.He lays down beside me and we're both silent. I'm still trying to regulate my breath and calm my beating heart. I look at him and his gaze is faced to the ceiling. “What are you thinking?"He turns to me. “About the fact that our hosts know what we're doing. That sends my brain into overdrive and the memory of what happened earlier with Francesca comes to mind. I cannot believe this! I sit up immediately and look at the door. What if someone had come in? What if someone had seen us? How am I sure that they had not already come and saw us doing the nasty in their bed?“Calm down," h

If he's impressed or if I'm overreacting but the truth is I don't care. He shouldn't be having issues with me speaking with Stephan when he's the one sleeping with bitches.“Excuse us, Uncle." He says and takes my hand. “Please, come with me." He doesn't wait for me to say anything before he's pulling me up from my chair and out of the dining room. We take a right turn and go up a staircase and we take another turn. I notice how large the house is from the little journey to wherever he's taking us. We come to a door and he pushes it open and pulls me in after him. Seems like the journey has come to an end. Finally! My feet were starting to hurt.The room is dark

  • My boss wants me    Dimitri, Vanessa and Francesca

    VanessaAfter the awkward introductions, we settle to have dinner in silence. I must say, with the extravagant interior decorations, I expected the food to be great but it is bland. I don't know if it has anything to do with the mood or the cook but it's taste does not interest me. I don't need to guess that they had a relationship. Francesca is a beautiful woman with a great sexual appeal, I'm sure and Dimitri is a fine man with raging hormones, again, I'm sure.He is more than a fine man but that is another thing I have no interest in delving into. What I am interested in is what must have ended the relationship. They are both attractive and seem to have a lot in common with their nasty personalities so why then would he not marry her and chose me instead.“So how did you both meet?" The question comes from Mr Luigi who makes it seem like my presence is exciting to him. I feel nice and creeped out at the same time.“Yes, how did you meet?" Francesca echoes her father's words like I

    VanessaI cry for a good six minutes of the drive before I'm able to compose myself and retouch my makeup to look better. I hope my eyes are not too puffy. Through it all, he does not nat an eyelash in my direction or say anything to console me. I thought we had gotten better. The moment I think he has maybe begun to like me, he reminds me of how apart our two worlds are and the dynamics of our relationship. I will be lying if I say this didn't hurt me at all. I turn to look at him but he is too focused on driving to where we are going. That or maybe he is trying hard to avoid the fact that we are riding in the same car to the same place. It makes me sad to think about what he might be thinking. I don't know when we pull into our destination because I'm much occupied with trying to look good and deserving to be his wife.“We're here. Remember all that I told you to do?" I can't look him in the eyes so my eyes are still down. “Yes sir.",I answer weakly. We stay like that for a few mom

  • My boss wants me    Annoying question

    VanessaThe rest of the week goes by in a blur. My ankle has gotten better. Although I still have a little limp, the doctor said it is all better. Dimitri is still the same but there have been big changes in how he behaves. These days, he does not say anything offensive and he is a tad bit polite. The other day, he asked me to be specific about what I wanted and he got it for me. I don't know if he is trying to please me because of the bathroom accident or if it is something else. It is weird though because I have never thought of him as someone who would care about anyone's feelings. Two days back, he requested for food items to be brought up to the suite and he cooked something in the kitchenette. He cooked! At first, I was skeptical about it but when I asked why he only said he didn't trust outsiders to fully satisfy him. I still haven't gotten over the fact that his life was in danger so I have a theory that he is being careful not to get poisoned by someone making our food. It

  • My boss wants me    Classic Carter

    VanessaThis time, I make sure to move myself to the living area so that I don't miss him when he comes in and also so that I don't get surprised. I want him to walk straight to me so I can question him. Why would he set Carter on Tianna? I know the man is a man whore and might want her for some reason but that is not enough to convince me that a grown man with an empire to run, would have enough free time to go after her like that. He should not have that much free time on his hand. I already pleaded with him before so I don't understand why this would still be dragging out. Apart from that, I also need to under why Carter would claim to have saved his life. That is not a baseless claim cos I know that words like that do not just slip if there isn't an ounce of truth.
