Chapter 2
Two Black cars could be seen driving into the Stone's Corporation parking lot. Workers could be seen running back to their duty posts, as the car was recognized as that of Bennett Stone.Heads down on their computers, and a quiet peaceful say.One would think that there was a ghost in the building.Bennett Stone had just arrived at the Company.The Black BMW stopped right before it could park well at the lot since another car had overtaken it by parking first."Park somewhere else," Bennett ordered quietly, glancing at the plate of the overtaker's car plate." AA3D - DC" He nodded and scoffed.The driver parked somewhere else and he got down of the car. His dark damp hair was neatly brushed down with waves...as if it was watered every minute.His jaw clenched every second. making him look like a Beautiful Beastly Immortal God whose job was to scowl every minute.His shoulders stood up, in pride and nobility. His dark Aura blazed with different emotions... As he closed the car door and walked into the Huge Building.His dark long Suit Jacket flew backward, as the wind blew past him... Making him look more devilishly Handsome.His feet stepped into the Spacious Building and he looked around."Good morning Sir.. welcome back." The receptionist greeted me with a smile. He nodded and walked away without a word.As expected of his workers... All heads were down, doing one thing or the other.He seems pleased.He walked to a particular cubicle and his gaze sharpened.. as he glared down. A man was sleeping with a magazine covering his face."What are you doing?" Came his deep, thick voice that could make you wet and scary at the same time. The sleeping man jerked up suddenly with the sound and the voice itself.Who wouldn't recognize the voice?"Good morning Sir... I was just tired, cause I did not get enough sleep last night to the converging of...""You're Fired!" Came the stern voice again, leaving no place for pleas. Bennett walked away quickly and got into the elevator.He knew he paid his workers a huge amount of money.One the could not get anywhere even though the tried searching... And he expected them to work for the pay.He pressed the 12th button, which was on the top floor... And in no time he was there."Good morning Sir.""Welcome back." A tall guy with well-built Handsome features greeted."Morning," Bennett answered as he walked past him to his office. "Ryan makes sure.. the IPO does not remain the same this month... And where are they Russian Investors?" He asked, taking out his Suit Jacket."They're waiting for you at the meeting room." The tall guy answered. "What else do I have to do today?" He asked again."You have a meeting with the Designing Department a few minutes after the meeting with The Investors... And Lunch with Family." Ryan replied.Bennett's eyes darkened as he looked up immediately. "Redo that schedule...and make it snappy." He said, and Ryan nodded.Canceling the Family Lunch Date. * * * *The morning breeze did Justice to the small Olive Tree by the side of the Huge Mansion. "It doesn't grow more than this?" The soft alluring voice of Octavia could be heard, as she talked to the guards."It doesn't Ma'am. it's an Olive Tree, this is how they are." The men there answered.She nodded, as her lips twitched. She turned to her Female guard.. and sighed."We did not have to come here, Shirley." She mumbled, taking another look at the Mansion that was painted white with a touch of Magneto by the side. She watched the flowers by each side, as they had begun to wither as if there was no one to tend to them.Her gaze flew to the Bike that was hung on the other side of the Building..and she hissed.Her days in this Mansion... were amazing but she had to leave.Those freaks inside would make her become a murderer if she didn't.She didn't want to kill anyone at least, not a member of their family."You're here." She heard her mother say."Yes, Mom." She answered, with a smile on her lips. "My daughter is amazing... you're officially a Top Model." Her mother winked at her.Tch! She chuckled and made a face."Still your daughter though." She mumbled as she went to hug her mother.They two hugged warmly and disengaged."Your Grandfather is Home." Her mother said, and Octavia's eyes twinkled with excitement.Her Grandfather was the only family she had except for her mother... others were just strangers."But your Step Brothers and sisters are in too." Her mother said again.The smile that had clung to her lips, had suddenly vanished, replaced with hatred and anger."Then I'll be back later. Mom." She smiled, a faint one that did not reach her grey eyes. "Can't you stay darling? Stop making yourself look like a bad person because of them." Her mother muttered softly.She huffed... There was no way she would get in there and leave without hitting someone.They knew just how to rile and switch on her anger button.She heaved a deep breath and nodded."Let's go in Mom." She rolled her eyes and followed the older woman inside. The Mansion's Hallway had already been decorated... properly for the upcoming event.Octavia's gaze lowered to the marble tiles that shone with different colors as time passes due to their settings.She looked around her Huge Castle that she would always play around... when she was little.Tch! Now it looked like a House used for Halloween. In a boring...quiet House werewolves lurk around the corner.She hissed again for the umpteenth time.They finally arrived at the Living room where everybody was sitting.As expected all eyes landed on her, as she walked right through the door into the vast room."Good morning Grandpa." She went to hug her father, that had a huge grin on his face, as he stared at her."Good morning Princess, how are you doing?" He asked, stroking her hair tenderly."I'm fine Grandpa, welcome back!" She said excitedly... as she flashed her teeth to the older man. "Hmm... you're looking more beautiful than I saw in the papers... My Model." Her Grandpa teased."Tch! What a Bad Grandpa I have." She mumbled.*Cough• Since you're here already."Let's get back to Business!" A voice from behind said.T. B. CChapter 3Bennett stood at the glass wall of his office, watching the City. His eyes peered through as if looking for someone in the streets of New York."Mr. Stone... It's time for the Meeting with the Designing Department." Ryan said as he walked into his office."And they're ready?" He asked, not moving an inch. "Yes." Came the answer, from the guy that was already jotting down things.Bennett nodded, as he turned around and grabbed his Suit Jacket.He put it on and looked up with those alluring eyes."Let's Go." He ordered, and they two left the office. ••"Good morning Sir, welcome back." The whole Designing Department greeted, them as he stepped in. He nodded and took a seat."What is the problem?" He asked, looking around. "Uhm Sir, for the new product that was launched just last week, we need a Model." The Department Leader said quickly.Bennett scoffed... As he watched the man as if he had grown heads."If you need a Model, get one. I hope this does not call fo
Chapter 4"Good morning Miss Stiles!" The voice she heard was more far than Heavenly.Octavia's eyes dilated. She removed the phone from her ear and glanced at the screen. Was she talking to God!?"He...loo." She said again."I get that you're Miss Stiles. Right?" The voice came again."Yes." She answered, still shocked.Wait! Was this the Boss himself? He had a deep alluring voice... She could even fall asleep while he was talking."Miss Stiles, I've heard about your Standards.""And I could give you credit for that.. they're high!" "I'll be asking you a few questions now.Brace yourself." He said, and she mumbled a Yes.Octavia couldn't speak anymore. If a Man had this voice... Damn! It was a shameful blow to the ladies then.Though his tone was commanding, it was still sexy at the same time. She was almost going wet!"Miss Stiles.. as a Model for a Corporation, what do you think... You should do as your basic criterion so as not to bring a bad name to that Corporation
Chapter 5As Bennett probably should've expected. She was beautiful and yet simple.His eyes didn't leave her face.. neither did he say a word. Octavia stared at him, the smile not leaving her face."Can I come in?" She asked, looking at the door he held out.He blinked and twisted the knob slowly... And giving way for her to get in. He didn't know he had been holding his breath for minutes ago... When he finally gave out a defeated sigh.He knew she had a nice voice, a cute light one that could be the opposite of his. But he didn't think he would meet something more alluring.He thought.. she would be one of those Models that would put on some seducing clothes and all. But yet she was in her simple leather Gown, with a small bag pack.He sighed. How whimsical of Him!This wasn't him! Talking and appreciating a lady he had just met. " Good afternoon Mr. Stone." He heard the voice again and snapped back to reality in his office... Where the sunset was breathtaking.Where one
Chapter 6The whole day at Stone's Corporation was wonderful for Octavia.. as she went through many art images and magazines."Hmm... You provide good art." She mumbled to a blonde that was sitting close to her. "Yes Ma'am, Mr . Bennett expects nothing but the best." The blonde said, earning a nod from Octavia.He had mentioned it earlier.He wanted the best.That was his forte... Getting the best out of things.She nodded at that thought and shrugged."Where can I meet him please, I want to talk to him about something." She asked the lady that blonde curls."Uhmm, Ma'am.. the most top floor, 12th button." The woman answered, and Octavia nodded.She had forgotten so soon.She was nervous.Something that had never happened here before.She had worked for many companies before.Taking pictures and of course, being their Wallpaper.She had done many modeling jobs but why did this one feel different.Getting into the elevator.. she pressed the 12the button and I took her to the top Bu
Chapter 7 His head was down, as the heavy rain came down, pouring down on the plants, the soil and the cemented tomb.He was already at the cemetery and his eyes gleamed with tears.He was sad.Although his parent had passed away in a cruel way, he had held strong.Kept his shirt together and he had made his parents proud even in he grave.He could still recall the day clearly as if it had only happened yesterday.Flashback..."Ben.. it's raining, don't go out!" His mother had yelled but he had refused to Listen.Being a stubborn little brat, his father had made him realize it was better to face his fears rather than ran away from it and he did just that that night.He was six years old that night.With his gloves on, he had rushed out to fight with his step brother who had crushed his birthday cake."I'm going to kill him Mom." He yelled, as he rushed out to the rain, running after the other young boy.His mother had ran after him as well, leaving the mansion as the head to the mai
Chapter 8 Bennett could have sworn that he had wanted to leave her there.He had promised himself to let her shit out of his head and somehow she was still fucking bringing herself back.He hated it.Earlier when she had touched him.Fuck his soul for shuddering for a woman's touch.It had sent electricity down his body and for a moment he had forgotten that he was cold.But then he had warned her to get her hands off.When he had walked down and saw her standing there and shivering.He was stunned for the few minutes he had stood and watched her.He sighed, staring out the rain as he watched Andrew bring her to the car with the small umbrella he was made to fit both of them.The car opened and she got in the side."Thank you." She mumbled and he nodded.Hell, he didn't want to help her.He didn't even want anything to attach himself to her."About the..."We'll talk about any business tomorrow in my office." He said, cutting her off.This was what he hated.She would take every cha
Chapter 9Octavia sighed, as she got out of the tub.She was going to get a fancy jacuzzi tub soon enough.She stood in front of the mirror as she dried her hair. She was claded in her short bum short and a white top with no bra.She was not they stupid type to wear a bra at home.If she was not a responsible human being, she would go round with out the bra.She dropped the towel on a small hanger in the bathroom and stepped out to her room.Her phone buzzed and she chuckled when she saw a group message buzz in.How they hell did they get her phone number?Just few hours ago, she had met them and now they were sending in messages.She shook her head and clicked in to the group.It was not the designing department group? It was for the VIPs?Another message buzzed in and she frowned."So Sorry Miss Octavia, I was asked to add you to the group. I am Troy, Mr Bennett's PA."She scrunched her nose and huffed.She shook her head and dropped the phone.She had to rest for tommorow...Her
Chapter 10Octavia stepped out of the company and got in to her car.She was going to the company just as Sofia had asked.She was use to it and her workers were used to it as well.She would barge in to the company unannounced and kick some guts."Are you coming?" Octavia sighed as she heard the voice."Ha ha ha, why did you use another number to call me Sofia, don't you trust me at all?" She asked."Just hurry to the company or else I'm leaving this office now." The call was disconnected and Octavia sighed.She Chuckled as the picture of Sofia and the Italian Investors crowded in the meeting room, with Sofia fidgeting her buttons came to her head.Sofia has helped her a lot.As some may say that love smells like roses...she didn't believe that.Friendship smelt like roses and cinnamon.The best relationship one could ever have.When her work had rolled in line with her business, Sofia had stood up with her and worked out their friendship.She was the kindest person she had ever met
SIX MONTHS LATEROctaviaI groaned as I bent to pick something from the ground but couldn't reach it.My bump wasn't that big but it was enough to tell me to stand, to sit and relax.I sighed, heaving a deep breath as I struggled to pick my new fluffy rabbit toy Bennett had gotten for me.Well...Long story cut short, Bennett and I had gotten married after the first month of knowing about our little pipsqueak.Mom was happy. Grandpa was happy and although my father and my stepbrothers and sisters weren't smiling..they came.Even if they didn't...fuck them!They didn't know about my husband being the leader of the Italian Mafia. One word from me and they'd be eradicated from the face of the Earth."Baby." Bennett's hand snaked around my waist as he rubbed my belly."Hey." I mumbled and turned around to hug him but was stopped by my bump.He chuckled and I pouted and turned around."Three months left and we'll be holding our little pigeon on our hands." He said, and kissed my cheek."Wel
Chapter 75OctaviaBennett wrapped his arms around me, kissing my hair as I watched the burning car.He would have changed. He could have. He had every reason to, but no....he wanted to die."I've got you, baby. Fuck! I've got you." Bennett kept singing to my ears as he picked me up and took me to his car.I blinked back the tears and shook my head."What's wrong?" He asked."That guy..." I choked. "That guy wasn't bad... He's just sick in the head and his own father uses that to his advantage." I said.Bennett sighed."That was why I was willing to let him live." He said."I'm sorry you got to see something like this.""He talked about the bane. About your father... about His Father telling yours to jump down. It was all for the business. He wasn't a bad guy." I cleaned my eyes again, feeling a little sting in my eyes."Stop crying, please." He pulled me to himself and began to stroke my hair."Thank you for coming for me." I mumbled."There's no need to thank me about that, baby. Wh
Chapter 74Octavia"Cazzo! What the actual fuck?!" Matteo hissed, grabbing my arm and pulling me to my feet."Guess it's time to leave, baby." He whispered, and tuned to Bennett and smiled."Let her go Matteo and I promise to keep you alive." Bennett said, more like a groan."Keep me? You have guts coming out to a place like this and letting her show up as well.. we've been watching her. The love of your life, no?" He Chuckled, and so did they men beside him."Bennett..." I whispered."You're outnumbered, so you better be careful." Matteo said again.He was right for that one.They were five and Bennett was just alone.He was alone and he was making threats?"She's so delicate..oh my God!" Matteo exclaimed and grabbed my chin."Is that a bruise I see? It's not just one...Fuck! a body of a model." He laughed.I looked over at Bennett. A bone ticked in his jaw and his grip tightened on the gun in his hand."How does it feel when you fuck her Bennett? Huh?" He chuckled. "Come on, tell me
Chapter 73OctaviaI strode over to Bennett who had his hand tucked into his trouser pocket. He was wearing a black booraldo suit and a black tie.His hair was well arranged, his perfect well shaped jaw made it more sexy..as he ran a finger down his chin.... making me have a clean view of his beautiful Rolex watch.I stood in front of him but Bennett said nothing. "Why are you here Mr Stone?""The party was held for models and businessmen....and that includes me.""So you didn't come here today cause you're a Mafia man?" I asked, a smile forming on my face."And you're not here today cause you're a businesswoman? Quit the acting miss Stiles, it doesn't suit you." He said.I chuckled. I didn't expect him to play along."Ha." I shook my head."Why are you frowning? Got ditched?'"Watching my girl let another man kiss her on the cheek, God knows how I had to restrain myself from going over there and tearing that shit apart.""Don't do that, he was my manager before....Miss Chen." I said
Chapter 72The Grand finale was coming to and end.This was the end of being a model.As much as I loved being a model, it was time I focused on my company."Are you wiping your face, clean?" "No.""Good." Calista walked closer to me, a towel wrapped on her head."It's a good thing you're leaving the modeling industry.""Oh please.." I rolled my eyes, knowing what we were about to talk about."It's a good thing....really." She shrugged, as she knelt down in front to me and began to eyeshadow my eye lid again."Please..not too much, I have to look like my normal self. They'll think I'm doing too much." I mumbled."Or you don't just want Bennett to ruin your makeover when he sees how stunning you are... Don't worry, I'll put in an extra kit in your bag." She chuckled. "I'm going too, though. So you don't have to worry about a single thing." She smiled and I rolled my eyes.They were hosting a party for all models and I would take this time to tell everyone about my stepping down."You'
Thank you beautiful people for 1000+ followers.I'm so grateful!! And for that....another chapter is loading.*Kisses*Chapter 71Octavia"In as much as I would love to say it the way I badly want to, the Raven's are making things hard for Basino and it has to end." I watched Bennett and Jace talk, not meaning to eavesdrop on them.They were just talking so loud."The man has some serious problems going on in his fucked up life, had to mentally prepare for him. They called him a dementia patient." Jace said, as they watched someone on the laptop.Who were they talking about?Well...I was in still in Bennett's penthouse and the sun was shining brightly. I was typing down something in my laptop."He comes to this very spot every day at around 2:30pm. He has guards stationed everywhere and I think he knows he's about to die soon. Man's a heartless dick!" He said again.Bennett said nothing, they whole time. His eyes flickering to me and then the laptop as if he knew I was listening to th
Chapter 70OctaviaEvery went silent for a moment and then the gate was pulled open.My eyes widened and I didn't even know when my feet walked on there own, till I was hugging him so tight.Bennett wrapped his arms around me, hugging me so tight.And then he let go of me."You could have called me!" Bennett yelled at the top of his voice."I did." I said, feeling my throat tightened. "But you didn't pick up." I said.He groaned, turning around to punch the wall.Fuck! That would hurt."Not that line Octavia, my other line. How could you call a line that has not been working for months!" I was scared to the bone, so without looking I had called the number Bennett was using when I had began working as a model for his company."Can you stop yelling already?""You don't know what would have happened if they had gotten you. Fuck! I should have been here." He groaned again, punching the wall."Bennett!" I half yelled, grabbing his hand as he made to punch the wall again.The red dark eyes
Chapter 69Octavia"Are you sure that Van isn't following us?" Calista asked, again as we took another road.It was but I wasn't going to tell her that.Scared isn't what was going to keep us safe now.Fear surged through my veins."I don't think so." I said. "They are thousands of cars on this road Calista, why would they follow us?" I asked and she nodded with a sigh."Yes, you're right. Why would the follow us?" They were following us. The last time I had encounter such was when Bennett and I had gone to his penthouse that was outside the city for safety.Bennett wasn't here right now and I didn't know what to do.There was no way I'd be driving to the mansion, that would take them directly to my home."Why are you speeding like this? And why the heck are they speeding too?!" Calista yelled at the top of her voice as I sped the car, heading straight to where Bennett had taken me that time."Calista... I'm not going to lie to you." I began. There was no need lying to her when the t
Chapter 68OctaviaThe rest of the week was crazy has hell, I had been too engulfed into work and doing nothing apart from that. Even Bennett was busy.After that night he had spent with me, they next morning, he left for Italy."You're going to die, if you don't stop that and eat, even a little can go a long way Octavia." Calista mumbled, going from the sofa to the chair and back to o the sofa."Can you stop moving, you're spinning me." I said, pausing my finger on the letter A and scrunching my nose out of disgust as she ate her macaroni grill fish.It smelled so bad."And what kind of fish was used to make that?" I asked."Fish that stink but taste so nice...." She said, and shrugged before adding "Obviously.""Wow." I smiled at her and she smiled back, not before throwing another piece of the fish into her mouth."Remember me to tell Dali to get something to clear the air. I don't think the air conditioner can wave this thing off." I said.Calista glared at me, before dropping th
