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 you represent?" He asked.Octavia scoffed a silent one though. Did he have to read out a whole paragraph to her?She knew what to do and what not to do when she was representing a particular Company."My basic criterion depends on the company Mr. If I'm just a Model there and my job is to advertise a particular product.""Then I have no basic criterion to apply.""But then... If I'm to represent the Company by being its Wallpaper, then......""I'll see to it that no scandal can be connected to the company through me..." She answered."Hmm... And who said anything about being a Wallpaper?" The voice came again. " Huh? What else do you need a Model for, Mr?""Certainly not to clean the floor. Right?""For a Company as yours... You only need a Model for two things." "Advertise a Product... And Company's Wallpaper. I'm I wrong?" She asked too.Her lips curved up in a smirk. Surely they had been talking and didn't know she had a company too.A Huge one at that! * * * *Bennett's lips curved into a smile as he listened to what she was saying. He didn't even know who that person was.But Damn! She was amazing.He wondered how a Model would know the basic need for a Company's Demands. His lips quirked up.Another Question. "Do you have any pictures so far on any platform or Company that has your nudity?" He asked. This was a serious case and he hated it too."No." Octavia snorted.Was this guy or man crazy? Why would she snap nude for money... When she was a Billionaire?She loved her Modelling life.... that's why she does them, despite her company life."Okay. We'll get back to you soon, Miss Stiles." Bennett said as he hung up.He turned to Ryan.. that was standing near the Printer. "Can you sit for Pete's Sake?" He scoffed."Tell the Designing Department to get ready with their stuff!""A model is coming." He said, and the guy nodded, leaving the office. * * * *Octavia stood up from the well-cut lawn grass.Her eyes adored and worshipped the natural beauty of God.She didn't want to leave. but work calls."Get up Shirley. Work is calling for me." She mumbled, touching the girl that was already asleep. "How could you sleep when there's so much beauty right in front of you?" Octavia asked as she looked around.Tch! Shirley hissed, as she stood up. " What beauty?" She asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.Hmm... Octavia shook her head, ignoring the sleepy girl.Her phone beeped and she scrolled up and down the phone. A message popped on the screen from an unknown number. " 66 Snow White Area, Stone's Corporation". COME NOW! It read.She twitched her lips."If only they know who they're commanding like this?" She gave out a small throaty laugh. The two girls both got into the car and it zoomed off. • • • •Her lips folded down her small mouth, so she could properly touch her tongue. She stood still, watching the company.She would credit the Architect. It was. Wonderful work well done there. She thought.... as her eyes stared down the wall glass that seem high yet still low. Her eyes bore down the small blinds that made to clutch the glass wall.She could see the coaster that was near the laptop, where a small mug was kept by the side of someone... she predicted to be the receptionist. She smiled and walked towards her."Good morning dear. I'm....""Octavia Stiles!!" The receptionist was already on her feet. "Good morning." She greeted me and took out her cell phone."Can I take a picture of us together?" The receptionist asked, and Octavia nodded. She didn't like taking pictures... especially with strangers.But what would she do? She didn't want to make a bad impression on her stay here as the company's wallpaper and all. Click. The receptionist took a quick shot afraid, that her Boss would come out any second."Who are you here to see Ma'am?" She asked."Call me Octavia," Octavia replied, with a smile"I'm here to see Mr. Stone. 12th floor of the building." Octavia said as she glanced at her phone to check if it was the 12th.And it was indeed. "Ohh... this way Ma'am." The receptionist said, with a smile as she walked her to the elevator.There was no need to call the people there and ask.She knew who the woman was. The most beautiful Model in New York, and not only that... she was a Billionaire too. "Whew!" The receptionist grinned, as she looked at her phone.Surely her I* comment section would be filled tonight!•••••Octavia got into the elevator and pressed the 12th button. She looked up the elevator space-time and saw that she was already there. The elevator opened and she walked out.She looked around and there was no office around, except..... a glass room at the other end of the Building. "Tch! Show off." She mumbled, in her head as she walked towards it.She Could see a Man.. from the transparent glass, and he was walking out.She stood at the door and gave it a light knock. The door opened a little while later and she looked up."Good afternoon Mr. Stone." She greeted, with a simple smile.T. B. CChapter 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
Chapter 11Bennett stood closer to the wall glass.Hell, he was going to teach that woman a lesson.He had never been scared his whole life.A minute ago, he had sent a team of soldiers to go look for her.He sighed.He was the one at fault. He had been scared for nothing.Why the hell would they even go after her.He was the one being tailed after.Just as he looked down, he saw her car driving in to the company parking lot.He walked back to his seat and slumped his body down.Troy walked in with a file."Sir, the meeting with the designing department begins in ten minutes." He said, picking up the other files."Miss Octavia is back."He nodded, standing up and heading out of the office."Sir?""Hmm.""You left your coat." Troy mumbled."We're not travelling are we?"He walked in to the department and looked around.They were all settled down.He didn't look at her, walking pass her seat to the other."What do we have for today?" He asked.He waited, staring at each of their faces.
Chapter 12 OctaviaShe had said a piece and she had left him there to think about it.She was not like those models he'd use and then throw away.Yes, she had been attracted to him at first but hell! He had been too much of a prude to know that.She sighed, dropping her things on her table."Ma'am, we're having a late night party to send one of our own away..will you join us?" The team leader asked, dropping a can of energy drink in front of her.She nodded, smiling at him and picking the can up."Yes, I will." She asnwered with a smile.Her intercom buzz and she frowned."Hello?" She said irritated, that he had called after ten minutes of their talking."Come to my office." She rolled her eyes, rounding the table and leaving the office.One of this days, she was sure she would hit his head with a pan or something.Talk about pan, where would she get it.She knocked on the door, and opened it before he could say a word."You called for me." She said, staring at him as he star
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
