After shopping and dressing up in a professional outfit, Phoenix stepped out of the shopping mall looking like a beautiful harmless lamb in her flattering butterfly shaped reading glasses. Her hair was styled into a ponytail and the aura she exuded was peaceful and friendly.She was apparelled in a sleek, well-fitted, and perfectly accentuated bright blue pantsuit, paired with an inner white lace camisole. Giving her outfit a distinctive touch, was her red stiletto heel, which was complimented by her red handbag.Like a model about to stun the world with her captivating look, she gracefully strolled towards the road and flagged down a cab.Ignoring a black luxurious jaguar car that was parked by the corner and signaling to get her attention, she got into the cab and instructed the cab driver to take her to De Choice cafe.De Choice Cafe is one of Dura city's known and greatly sort after coffee cafe. It is patronized by seventy-five percent of Duras city workforce and Its business peak
Charles confused the spark in Phoenix's eyes for admiration and this made him swell with more pride.He was not just the ideal and dream guy of every young lady in Duras city, he was also the reputable accountant that managed some of David Kingston's accounts with an iron fist. Being affiliated with the Kingston's name meant respect, power, and authority.Like most wealthy men in Duras city, Charles saw himself as a collector. Anything he fancied, he acquired irrespective of the low or middle-class owner of such property.Feeling self entitled, he beamed inwardly while staring into Phoenix's eyes and imagining how good she would be in bed.When he pictured her naked, he unconsciously licked his lips as if he was savoring her juice.'She has to grace my bed tonight,' he smiled before speaking up. "Now that you know a little about who I am, can I know something about you?""Hmm... " The corner of Phoenix's eyes glinted with disguised darkness that Charles couldn't decode. She was able t
Inside the convenience, Phoenix did a quick sweep to ensure she was the only one in there before putting a call across to her gang leader, Alpha."Phoenix, status report," Alpha's tone was precise and direct from the other end."I have found a useful toy that can get me vital information on our target. I need your approval to go on a solo mission.""Approval granted. But keep a low profile. Do not pull attention to yourself and keep us updated. See you in two days." The line instantly went dead.Phoenix briefly stared at her captivating reflection in the mirror and smiled to herself, as she thought about all the fun she was about to have.She adjusted her reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, and stole one more glance at her enchanting look, before leaving the convenience.She slowly walked up to Charles from behind and sensually stroked his shoulder."Shall we!" Phoenix gestured towards the exit door of the cafe."Of course," Charles let out an evil chuckle as if to say, "I alwa
Back at the Logan's mansion, Dex returned home all stitched up only to find a disoriented Max pacing around."Max, what the hell is wrong with you and where is Phoenix?" Dex asked impatiently while wincing slightly in pain due to the hurt emanating from his shoulder."S...sir, I...I... I...""Max!" Dex boomed fiercely, "I am in no mood for your stupid stuttering. I asked a simple question and I want you to give me a clear answer..""She left, Sir. She stole one of your cars and left." Max forced the words right out of his mouth while praying inwardly that Dex would not punish him for a crime that was beyond his pay grade."Did she eat something before leaving? What about the flowers I asked you to give to her? Did she like it?""Huh!"Max gawked at his boss in bewilderment. He was expecting Dex to flare up and even punch him in the face for that unpleasant information.Instead of an expected rage, Dex's mood softened awkwardly and he was asking after the well-being of someone that alm
Sensing that she would need more time and space to copy the content of the flash drive to her pocket size laptop device, Phoenix simply slipped the flash drive into her suit pant pocket. To prevent Charles from suspecting a thing, she gave him a slow twerking movement that got him high with desire.Her deliberate waist movement coupled with depriving Charles of oxygen with her choking embrace caused him to almost suffer from a cardiac arrest.Not only was he having a stifling erection that was deprived of pleasure but the beautiful damsel was making him pant like a dog for her killer body.Just when she gave him some room to breathe a little, he attempted to unzip his trouser for some little action, but the car abruptly came to a halt."What the f...""Shhhh!" Phoenix put a finger on Charles's lips and shook her head from side to side."No swearing or cursing is allowed when you're with me." She leaned closer to his ears and whispered in the most hypnotic voice."Be a good little boy
"Thank you," Phoenix smiled and left for the elevator as if she was already a staff of the company. She got in and punched in the number for the last fall with only one risky mission in mind. She needed to introduce herself to David while carefully dropping the flash drive in Charles's pocket.She knew this undecided and reckless stunt she was pulling would infuriate Alpha but she cared less. Every instinct in her was telling her that she was making the right move and her instinct had never failed her in the past.But the dilemma that she was yet to figure out was how she would get close to Charles under the watchful eyes of David and his assassin bodyguard."One way or another, I have to get this flash drive to Charles, otherwise the missing drive would be traced back to me since he gave me a ride."Phoenix tried to encourage herself that she was doing the right thing.'But, was there any such thing as right or good in the eyes of an assassin?' Phoenix pondered as the elevator door d
A few minutes earlier...When Charles led David and some of his bodyguards into his office, he listened in horror as David made some calls requesting the immediate reassignment of another proficient accountant to Somalink conglomerate."Wait a second, am I been relieved of my job because of my tardiness?" Charles mused incoherently. "Surely I'm overthinking it because Mr. David can't afford to do away with my special kind of expertise. No one knows this job the way I do."After David was done with his call, he walked over to Charles's desk and sat down. He lazily went through some neatly arrange files on the desk and asked in a low but deep tone."Are you aware of the calamity that befell my masquerade party, yesterday?""Y...yes, sir," Charles replied while wondering what the question has got to do with him. After all, he wasn't given an invite even though he thought he merited one."Are you aware that currently, I've lost a huge amount of money not to talk about destroyed properties
"Where is the flash drive?" David walked up to Charles and stood before him like the grim reaper who had come to collect his soul. "S...s...sir!" POW!Charles didn't get the chance to form a sentence when he received another blow to his head."Where is the flash drive?" David asked again.POW!Charles received a head banging blow to his face when he waited two seconds to speak. The fierceness of the blows sent Charles crawling on the floor as blood rushed up to his head and numbed his senses."Where!" David struck him on the temple with the head of his gun."My jacket!" Charles's voice came in a muffled sound. His vision was already blurry and his face was swollen from the excessive head trauma.Charles was lifted off the ground and his jacket was torn from his body.POW!He received another devastating blow to his stomach, making him cough out blood and saliva. David's men shredded Charles's jacket but still the flash drive wasn't there.Next, Charles's office was scattered and tu
"What the f**k!" Someone murmured audibly."Is she out of her mind?!" Another person retorted."She's got balls, I tell you!" One of the players who had once been privileged to witness Anna's ingenuity in poker exclaimed proudly.The once tense atmosphere was now engulfed with a mixture of muffled compliments and sarcastic comments until Maximus lifted his hand in the air. Maximus never knew his girlfriend to be reckless. He observed something different about her behavior which seemed totally off from the Anna he knew. She was more daring, ruthless and dangerously competitive. Staring at the total amount of roughly fifty-two million dollars on the poker table and what he stood to lose, Maximus leaned closer and whispered into Phoenix's left ear. "Babe, are you sure you have what it takes to win this game? Don't you think you're been a bit reckless?" A hint of foreboding and threat lingered in his tone."Relax, sweetie. Have a little faith in me." Phoenix replied without breaking e
"I'm certain everyone seated here is familiar with the rules of this game. If you are not, I will suggest you leave right now before we begin." Maximus's tone was laced with a hint of authority and threat.When no one said anything, Maximus grinned evilly to himself. He introduced all ten key players seated around the table before calling on everyone to place their initial bets.The game instantly kicked off after the card dealer had dealt cards to all ten players.The first round went on smoothly with each player feeling lucky and triumphant.However, after forty minutes into the game, the atmosphere in the room became very electrified and toxic.The initial smiles and confidence on some of the players' faces were replaced by regrets and seethed rage.Five players had already lost good sums of money. They quickly and wisely called in a fold as the stakes were now at a neck-breaking level.The other five remaining players had an air of confidence that each of them would win the game
The masked lady pulled out a silencer pistol from the back of her waistband and pointed it at Anna's head. "P...please, don't kill me. I... I haven't done anything wrong. I... I don't want to die. I can double whatever you are being paid to do this. I can even triple it. I can make you rich. Just don't kill me." Tears rolled down the side of Anna's cheeks. "Wrong answer." The vicious lady with the gun pressed the nozzle on Anna's forehead. "Does the name Liam Grant ring a bell?"At the mention of that name, all the colours drained out from Anna's face. Her eyes widened in horror and her body stiffened like a rock. "I guess it does." The masked lady's narrowed blood cuddling gaze knocked out the air from Anna's lungs before the bullets did it job."Say hello to Liam in hell." The masked lady pulled the trigger and three bullets were emptied into Anna's forehead.Just then, a black van pulled over beside the corpse. Two weird looking men dressed in navy blue overall climb down from
Diana was in deep conversation with her brother when she was informed that her parents just arrived."Let's go say hi to mum and dad." Diana pulled Dex by the hand and led him back to the sitting room.Both siblings exchange warm pleasantries with their excited parents before Lucy and Tiana join the euphoria.While the family bonding was ongoing, Chloe stepped into the living room, looking elegantly gorgeous in a flattering pink bodycon dress. Her hair was stylishly let down, revealing a captivating dangle diamond earrings. His makeup was mild, giving her a breathtaking and angelic look.Chloe sashayed over to where the Logans were seated and having a family chitchat. She greeted everyone in her charming voice and handed over a neatly wrapped birthday gift to the celebrant. "Happy birthday, Diana." Chloe's lips curled up in a bewitching smile as Diana stood up and hugged her warmly."Isn't she an angel?" Mia Logan nudged her son on the arm, a playful smile dancing at the corner of he
Dex's lips curled up in a playful grin at Phoenix's feistiness. "You can count on my professionalism. I won't dream of messing up your plans " "Don't get cocky with me smart pants." Phoenix's eyes shot daggers at him. "Playtime has passed and I mean business. I won't tolerate any form of error on your part. So wipe that stupid look off your face." "My apologies, boss." Dex smiled while holding her riled gaze. "You better be." Phoenix clicked her tongue. She was about to leave the room when she remembered something."By the way, I have a business meeting to attend at the Black Rose.""The Black Rose!" Dex asked in a slightly perplexed tone.The Black Rose was an elite strip clubhouse meant for only the very wealthy and influential in the city. Also, it was a den of criminals minded individuals and underworld kingpins."Please, don't tell me you have a hearing disability too." Phoenix scoffed. "I need a fast car and a VIP membership card under the name Anna Kruger. How fast can you m
"Are you planning to get me addicted to you?" Phoenix asked in a sultry tone as she freed her nipples from his intense caressing."Maybe..." A mischievous smirk tugged at the corner of Dex's lips."I see..." Phoenix pushed him off her and rolled away from his side. She sat up and tilted her head backwards. "I'm sure you've had enough of me for one day.""I could never get enough of you." Dex rested his head on his raised elbow while feasting his eyes on her nudity.Even though Phoenix felt weak from the marathon they had just undergone, she stood up and headed towards the bathroom for a cold shower."May I join you?" Dex called after her."Not in your dreams." Phoenix slammed the door to the bathroom shut making Dex chuckle. He sat up on the bed and counted the number of used condoms littered on the floor."1,2, 3,4, 5 and 6... Wow!" Dex smiled to himself. "Here I was thinking that we used up to ten. Lara is awesome."Dex sat back on the bed and rested his head on the bed headboard wh
"Easy, lover body." Phoenix arrested Dex's hands above his head, stopping him from teasing her breast. "Allow me to give you a little pleasure." While their lips remained locked in an intense kiss, she explored his body with her teasing fingers, aiming for the erogenous zone."Oh, baby...yeah!" Dex groaned. He couldn't explain what was happening to his body as every bit of him was electrified by her touch. She was rough yet tender, aggressive yet passionate. Everything she did felt intentional and targeted at making him go insane.As Phoenix's touring lips travelled from his mouth to his nipple, Dex's breathing became deep and raspy. He held his breath when he felt her kick off his pants with such ease."Phoenix..." Dex bit down on his lower lips as her hands took over his erect shaft "I promise not to go easy on you," Phoenix whispered in a sultry voice as the tip of her tongue came in contact with the tip of his dick."F**k! You are good and I love this." Dex confessed while strai
Dex was desperate to take things slowly with Phoenix but he found it impossible. He felt like a disposable toy in her hand and like a bee to nectar, he found himself being lured to her sweetness. When Phoenix pulled away from the kiss to look into Dex's eyes, she was fired up by his seductive gaze."You are driving me crazy, Mr Logan." Phoenix peeled off Dex's inner shirt and pushed him towards the bed. She made him lie on his back and slowly climbed on him."You are such a beautiful distraction and I don't know whether to keep you or kill you." Phoenix's eyes drank in Dex's perfectly chiselled chest and his well defined abs."Please, keep me and use me however you want. I am ready to do anything to keep a stunning goddess like you. You have no idea how much I've missed you ever since the last time I saw you." Dex gently stroked Phoenix's wet hair, while admiring her natural beauty. She had this innocent and radiant freshness from within. Her body was so soft like freshly baked brea
Dex clenched his left fist in rage. "Does this little birdie manage a boutique in town?" Dex asked, his voice laced with fury. He knew that the only person responsible for this gossip was Gail. She was the only person who saw him the night he visited her boutique with Phoenix. "Come on brother, you don't have to be uptight. It doesn't matter who told me. What matters is that my brother was captured with a girl for the first time. I'm so eager to meet this girl who seems to have captured your frigid heart, even though Chloe remains my best choice for you. How about you bring her over when you're coming to the party? Mum and Dad will be attending and it's going to be a beautiful family get-together.""Diana, I..."Dex's phone started vibrating indicating that he had another incoming call."Phoenix!" Dex's eyes brightened and his sour countenance quickly turned into euphoria."Who is Phoenix?" Diana asked from the other end."F**k!" Dex cursed inwardly for being so reckless with such v
