Master Adrian's pov

   The surrogate stripper

       MASTER  ADRAIN’S POV

   Louis Vuitton shoes, a fancy Ferrari, and a diamond-encrusted wrist watch wearing designers from Dolce and Gabbana summer collection.

  I alighted my car and felt the buzzing sound from my phone in my pockets. It was from my secretary.

   “Hello, Master Adrian.” She said when I picked the receiver.

   “What’s it?” I replied in a harsh tone. She better have some good news.

   “Sir we haven’t found the girl that is fit for the ballroom event. I’ve sent images and look books to your mail but you rejected all of them. I plead for more time to find the perfect girl.”

   “We have three weeks until the event! Why are you lazy? I’m so disappointed!”

   I was breathing fire through my nostrils as I gripped the phone tightly within my grasp.

      My family would be disappointed in me if I don’t get a worthy female and I can’t disappoint them.

    I walked into the hospital building where my Mom was admitted, she had a weak heart and a long history of panic attacks and had those attacks during a family meeting when I told her I wasn’t getting married ever.

  I could be mean and the words spewed before thinking of the implications and how much Mom would be hurt.  She slumped to the floor as we scurried and got her admitted to the hospital.

   Her health hasn’t improved and the only way to make her happy is getting a sophisticated Lady to play as my female interest for a  welcome party organized for Mother on the day she’s discharged from the hospital.

   I wanted to tell her I’ve found the lady she desired to placate her until I could find a better plan to come up with.

    Honestly, I’m not after getting a woman in my life. I enjoy the peace that comes with being single and besides there were a lot of girls flocking around for my attention.

   I zoned off as my secretary went on apologising and making suggestions when I bumped into a girl. I didn’t bother to check on her as I walked off heading to Mother’s ward.

  Then I felt a cold shiver down my spine when I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see a Lady dressed in a hoodie, she was the lady I bumped into earlier.

   I stared right into her honey brown eyes and I felt my heart skip as I stared at her up close.

  Damn! Despite the eyebags and cheap clothing, she was a jewel.

I noticed she had a smile on her face despite my action on her toes but she wasn’t in my class isn’t that right?

     I saw her lips part and before she could say anything I beat her to it and uttered the most ridiculous and demeaning words to her.

   She was pissed and irritated with my choice of words but who cares? My eyes wandered from her eyes to her toes and mentally gushed over the beauty she possessed.

  I had to act like a jerk and got under her skin as we word fight while I smirked enjoying the little drama.

  She wasn’t just a smart and daring woman but she was not star-struck or acted like a love-sick puppy like the others I’ve met.

   ‘Kpaa!’

  She smashed my phone against the wall and walked away with a proud smirk as I stood speechless, rooted on a spot.

   What just happened?

   It was just a phone I could get so many if I wanted so I turned the knob to Mother’s ward. The incident occurred in front of her ward, surprisingly.

    The door pushed open and Mother was seated on the bed staring into space with a blank face.

   “Hello, Mom.”

   She didn’t react or say a thing.

  My feet walked up to the bed and stooped to the bed.

  “I’ve found the perfect lady. I’d bring her to you.” I stated and her head snapped to the side.

  “Are you sure?” Her lips trembled, as her chest heaved rhythmically.

  I placed my arms around her. “Yes, I’m sure and you’ll see her in a few weeks but for now I want you to get better.”

  “How sure am I that you aren’t fooling me?”

  I pecked her cheeks and with a wide grin. “Watch and see Mom.”

 The nurse walked into the room with a silver tray. “I’d be leaving. It hasn’t been the same without you. I Can’t wait to see you back in the Mansion.” I placed another kiss on her cheek and walked out to achieve my quest.

 I know what I want so I can do anything to get it, anything.

 The ladies contracted were good not that I don’t like them but I just felt something was missing and there was someone out there that would fit perfectly.

     I let my secretary and workers search for the right girl to fit in.

 And when Lorenzo sent me the images of two beautiful ladies. One of them caught my eye, she posed in pink lingerie that looked sinful on her. I knew from that moment that she’s the hoodie girl and when she came through, I wasn’t mistaken.

 I dug out her past with the help of my private investigator within three hours.

 I admit that is not right but it was enough reason for me to get to know her. I didn’t want to lose her to anyone else for some unknown reason so I went to her house.

 Fortunately, the door wasn’t locked and she was fast asleep while her small television displaying a telenovela.

    The couch had seen better days due to the wear and tear visibility. The carpets were torn and some parts of the roof were caving in. The walls were unpainted and broken.

   The sight made my skin crawl and I wrinkled my nostril in disgust from the terrible state of things.

   She deserved way better. I’d give her the world if she lets me. She’s a diamond in the rough and I’m willing to polish her from the mud.

     I sat on the couch without making a sound so she doesn’t wake up. My eyes glanced around the room and every second in that apartment felt like hell. It made my blood boil as I wanted to take her out of this place in an instant, not another minute.

   Her neck wasn’t placed perfectly as she slept on the couch. I took a pillow and tucked it behind her head gently and then I heard a screeching sound of a car.

 I looked out of the window, and it was a young lady who was making her way into the house.

   I had to move out of the apartment before I was termed a thief, or caused unnecessary problems.

  Before leaving I watched her stir a little in her sleep, her hair was scattered. She slept like a baby, her long lashes stood out with her plump pink lips.

 She was indeed very beautiful, I won’t let her slip out of my fingers.

     I’ve found the perfect Queen!

 Once she got in with those tempting gold ball gown she wore, and even when she dazzled under the light I almost paled.

 Even from far away, I sat with my mask on, my eyes didn’t make the effort to stay away and I liked how she stared at me.

Her eyes mirrored mystery, confusion, and the tension I felt from a distance.

  It’s great to realize I had an effect on her.

 I even like it more that she is not like the others who would have been all over the place touching things and acting like a busy body or trying to act superior to the workers.

   She was obedient and patient while the workers attended to her without making a fuse.

 This girl is the first to not get moved by me or impressed by my riches or perhaps my intimidating look and that amazes me, making me want to know more about who she is apart from being a ‘STRIPPER’.

I signal to the director to get things started. The lights go out and I move to the camera.

When the command for action to take place happened, I had to readjust myself and strike a pose as she took steps closer to me. Things suddenly felt awkward, weird, and intimidating.

   She’s a badass!

   I fought my eyes away from her tempting body and began to face the camera to keep sane.

   With the corner of my eyes I saw how the gown accentuated her curves and made me want to gobble her on the floor and fuck the shit out of her sexy body. Her stomach was bare, and the gown failed to hide her hourglass shape. To make it worse, it’s left open, revealing her cleavage, the valley between her breasts.

 Her tonearms, straight legs, sexy wide hips made my cock twitch in my pants. She’s very pretty and I see what her presence is doing to me.

  The next is her addictive scent behind me, filling my nostrils and interfering with my senses that I feel like enveloping her in a tight hug and basking in her scent.

“Get out!” I screamed and walked away from her, slamming the door shut and running up to my office.

  It was getting messy but my mind was way messier.

 What the fuck is going on?

   What is this? Gosh!!

I was astonished by her, I didn’t know what came over me.

  I have never swooned over a lady, like the way this lady made me.

 “Master, are you alright?” My secretary hands me a glass of water and I gulp immediately anything to soothe the fire in my soul and the thumping in my chest.

 “I’m having a headache so tell the others to leave immediately. We will do this some other time and that includes the girl.”

 “But Master Adrian..” She tries to speak. I knew all she wanted to say so I waved her off.

 “Listen to me, you have no choice,” I warned with a fierce tone and she shuddered.

   “Alright.” She bowed slightly.

     “Ela!”

  “Yes, Master.” She turns almost twisting the doorknob.

    “I want you to pay her off, tell her she was great but we have a better choice.” He instructed and she nodded and walked away.

I slumped to the chair and gripped my hair as though I wanted to rip them off my scalp.

    What is wrong with me?

          Damn!
