The Billionaire's Angel Nine: Safina
The past few days after I had danced for Lex’s birthday had been uneventful and I surprisingly haven’t heard of him or seen him inside the nightclub which was a good thing. I sighed as I got off the bed and put my hair into a ponytail before making the bed up But why couldn’t I stop thinking about him? He’s just some random guy I slept with, nothing more. “Not every guy you meet will hurt you, Angel, but you deserve better than what that *ssh*le did to you.” He caressed my cheek and leaned forward, I closed my eyes as our lips met. I shook my head, shaking off the thoughts and memories of that night “He must’ve said that to butter my *ss up into sleeping with him.” I say to myself as I got out of my room, surprised to see Bella near the stove, cooking up something for lunch “Good afternoon babes! Slept well?” She says, getting some spices and aromatics from our cupboard pantry and placed it on the Dutch oven that contained the food that she’s making “I’m making butter chicken for

Lex's Point of View The next morning, I decided to drop off Rosie to her school after we had breakfast together, we were a few blocks away from her school when she asks me a question. “Have you found your new assistant yet daddy?” she wonders I was a little taken aback by her question but I wasn’t surprised either as she has seen me fire the last assistant, which I explained to her why I had to do it. “Wilma did yesterday buttercup, she’s going to start later today when I arrive at the office.” I answered “Why do you ask hm?” I asked “I just don’t want her to be like Jessie, she was sweet to me when you’re around but she got mean and called me a brat when you’re not there, claiming that I interrupted something. She liked you too much, just like Giselle did.” She pouts “Jessie thinks of me differently but I didn’t feel the same way buttercup, and I’m glad I fired her.” I faked a smile and ignored her last statement “But you felt the same way with Giselle right?” she asks I sighe

“Why aren’t you at work today Leo? You should be here to help my new assistant with the upcoming meeting with the Valtoran Consulate on Saturday.” I sighed as I went inside the elevator, pressing the close button and then penthouse button. “My γιαγιά from Mykonos is here Lex, I’ll be her tour guide for today, I won’t be tending to Fire and Desire as well later tonight. I’ll help tomorrow and surely you can help her today, you’re her boss after all.” He says back “Of course, you can’t tell your grandmother that you own a strip club, it’ll give her a heart attack.” I joked He scoffed “You’re one to talk, you slept with one of my best dancers at that strip club.” He quips “Shut up.” I rolled my eyes at his words “I expect you to be here early tomorrow to help Miss Brooks. I want the meeting to be set by Friday.” I say firmly “Sheesh, alright fine. And she’s asking for you, you know?” he says seriously “She is? What did she say?” I asked curiously, clearing my throat to hide the eage
The Billionaire's Angel Twelve: Safina
I may have been panicking upon knowing that the man that I shared a passionate night with is my new boss and I’ll be working for him starting today, but I set the panic and anxiety aside and arrange the meeting between the Valtoran consulate and Lex- I mean Mr. Moore.I shook my head as I tried to forget the night that we had. I focused on getting my tasks and a few of my things organized before getting lunch reservations at a restaurant, contacting the restaurant that serves the best food in Seattle. I took my phone out and called the restaurant and we began to discuss the reservation.“So your lunch reservations will be this Saturday 11am under the name Henry Moore?” the receptionist asked to confirm “Yes please, a secluded booth is preferred as it is an important business meeting.” I nodded as I jot the time of the meeting on my planner“We can make that happen ma’am. I’ve just been told that Mr. Moore and his family often go here.” The host says cheerfully“That’s great to
The Billionaire's Angel Thirteen: Max
I entered the King’s Corp as stoic as possible, with every employee greeting me good morning, I didn’t pay attention as I head on to my penthouse office, buying a bouquet of tulips on my phone and adressing the flowers at Safina’s apartment, paying for it through my phone as well. I came across my wallpaper, it was a stolen photo that I took of Safina on the field of tulips in The Netherlands for a business trip and our third anniversary last year. I sighed and smiled at the photo softly I’m not going to stop until I have her back as my girlfriend.The elevator door opens as I stepped inside, I was about to press it closed but a familiar voice stopped me“Hold it Max.” my father says as he stepped inside the elevator and closed the elevator doorI put my phone on my suit pocket and cleared my throat as I pressed the penthouse button “What brings you here dad? Your monthly visit isn’t until the 30th.” I stated“Just because you’re the CEO, doesn’t mean that you have complete cont
The Billionaire's Angel Fourteen. 1 : Lex
Lex’s Point of View “Well Mr. Moore, the Queen will like the economy boost upon knowing that you’re interested in expanding your company to our country. Though if I may ask, why do you want to expand in Valtora? We are a small country.” The Valtoran consul asked as we ate our lunch in the restaurant Safina had chosen for us. “Well I’ve been in Valtora a few times with the recent trip being my honeymoon with my wife and the scenery and tourist spots are beautiful, the people are extremely welcoming, hospitable and kind, my father actually planned to expand to Valtora and make me oversee the project after I graduate college but it didn’t come to pass because he died suddenly on my freshman year.” I stated, taking a sip of the white wine that came with my meal. “Ah I remember Arthur Moore. He’s just as keen as you are to expand in Valtora, though I didn’t meet with him formally to discuss his plans.” He stated “I can tell that your company will boost the Valtoran economy, let’s just ho

“I’m not interested in going Leo.” I told him as soon as I entered his office, closing the door once I got inside“Why not? This is the perfect time to show them you’ve moved on from their bullsh*t. And maybe rub in Preston’s face that you’ll be expanding in Valtora soon, considering that the meeting went well.” He smirked, leaning back into his chair“It did, and hopefully if the meeting goes well with the Queen and her husband… That could be a reality.” I sighed, sitting on the love seat and ignoring his first statement.“So you should attend! Show them that they don’t affect you anymore, that you’re a lot more successful than they are.” He says in encouragementI scoffed “Who even says I’m affected?”“I didn’t, but I’ve known you long enough to know that you’re still hurting for what Giselle and Preston did to you.” He smiled sadly at meI closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to prevent the horrible memory from resurfacing.Flashback, Two years agoI sighed in cont
The Billionaire's Angel Fifteen: Angel || Safina
I sighed as I watched Lex leave the room, smiling at me before doing so. I’ve rejected a lot of men before while working here and I’m used to seeing angry, disappointed or even sad faces after I turned them down. But why do I feel bad rejecting him? “That’s because you’re into him!” my subconscious yells I shook my head with a frown, ejecting the thoughts in my mind. Sure I find him attractive, and he’s not like other men of the same class and stature that I’ve had the displeasure of encountering in both jobs as a personal assistant and as a stripper. “But whatever happened between us can’t happen anymore, especially now that he’s my f*cking boss.” I mumble to myself with a sigh, shaking my head as I get back outside, getting a drink from the bartender “I wonder what did you do so bad that Mr. Moore had to leave so early.” Ruby says condescendingly with a scoff “What I do with my client is none of your business Ruby. You don’t see me complaining when you hog clients from other

I still decided to go to Fire and Desire a few hours later and focused on getting as much tips as possible tonightThough before going to work, I decided to at least cook something for Bella when she gets home. I cooked up some rice and take out the milkfish marinated in vinegar and garlic out of the freezer that I successfully haggled for at the Asian supermarket and fried that up and I also decided to make a quick pickled salad with daikon radishes, onions and tomatoes seasoned with jalapeno instead of Asian chilies because my vendor ran out.It was something my mom loved to make for me on a daily basis, and milkfish is rare at the time“Guess who quit her job babe?!” Bella says cheerfully as the door opened “Well technically resigned and I’m starting a new job as an intern at Style Life Magazine… hopefully.” She grinned as she placed her box of things at the coffee tableI smiled as I put the prepared food on the table “When did you resign officially?” her resignation didn’t surpri
The Billionaire's Angel Thirty Four: Safina
Meanwhile…Jack parked the car on my apartment’s driveway. By now I had stopped crying and kept quiet, getting out of the car and smiling at the couple “I’m sorry for the inconvenience Mama Benj… Jack.”“Don’t mention it Saf, we’re happy to help.” Jack smiled kindly“Are you sure you’re okay sweetie? You can take a day off of work-” Mama Benj began but I cut him off “No Ma, I need the money… My monthly due date at the bank is coming up and I need the cash as soon as possible.” I smiled weakly “See you later.” I waved goodbye before heading into my apartment As soon as I close the door, all the emotions came to me as if somebody stabbed me repeatedly with a knife... As the people who mattered to me most don’t think that I am good enough….“This isn’t the job I want for you Safina.” My mother says as she puts down my essay and shook her head “You’re a very intelligent girl and it’s such a shame that you’re not using your brain for a course that can lead to a high paying job in t

Lex’s Point of View“Thank you so much for your feedback sir, I’ll have the final version of the app ready for presentation as soon as possible. And I’m sorry if I disturbed you.” He smiled apologetically at me“Nonsense Clifford, I’m happy to give feedback when needed. Don’t hesitate to come to me if you have an idea or a concern, and if I’m not here then I’m sure Safina can help you too.” I assured him“Of course sir. I should get going.” He nods and went to his department I was heading to Safina’s office when I heard my phone ring, it’s Wilma… and all of a sudden, the bad feeling in my stomach rises again. I quickly answered the phone “Wilma? Is everything okay?”“No Lex, Safina left the building… crying. I’m worried about her.” Wilma says worriedly My gut feeling was right “F*ck, alright… I’ll try to contact her, has Max King left yet?” I ask, anger and irritation bubbled inside me at the mention of that man“Unfortunately not, I haven’t seen him or his assistant. They’

I did my best to calm my nerves in the bathroom. Taking deep breaths as I look at myself in the mirror “Breathe Safina… he’s just here for business, you’re safe from him. You moved on from him. He’s not going to hurt you in any way anymore.” I gave myself a pep talk and adjusted my hairI hear the door open and I saw him enter the ladies’ room with a knowing smile on his face “This is the ladies’ room. You shouldn’t be in here Max.” I turn to face him, putting on a brave face “I know, I just wanted to talk to you.” He says, stepping towards me“We have nothing to talk about the moment you stuck your d*ck inside another girl! And I knew that the girl from the penthouse isn’t the first girl you f*cked.” I spat“I apologized for that Saf!” he reasons “A-And yes I drunkily cheated on you in Greece. But I didn’t want to tell you because I don’t want to lose you.” He admits, thinking it will help his caseI scoffed “After I quit, you preceded to blacklist me in almost every company in
The Billionaire's Angel Thirty One: Lex
I had asked Safina to escort Maximilian and his assistant into the conference room. I did wish to know why Max King would want to do business with me as his father and I have a never-ending rivalry since our teenhood and it hasn’t stopped through the years.I am hoping that he’s nothing like his father, but from what Safina has told me, he’d been a competent executive but not as CEO. He became dependent on her and he takes complete credit of things as if Safina didn’t help him.The door opened and Safina walks in with Max King and his assistant, Max’s eyes never left Safina as she closed the door.“Welcome to Moore Industries, Mr. King.” I interrupted his trance on my assistant. “It’s a pleasure to have you here.” I offered my hand for a handshake“The pleasure is all mine Mr. Moore, trust me.” He stole a glance at Safina “And please call me Max, Mr. King is my father.” He smiled “This is Percy Sandoval. My secretary.” He says, introducing his secretary to me“It’s nice to meet y

“Mr. Moore has accepted the meeting sir, I talked to his secretary and she set up a meeting next Monday at 3pm, at Moore Industries` penthouse conference room.” Percy says to me the following morning in my office“Good, I want Lex Moore to know that I mean business. But in reality, I want to take him and his company down.” I spat “It’s high time that I do something that my father never did, and that is to be better than him in all aspects.” I scoffed, sitting down on my desk “Go, finish up the report my former secretary revised for the monthly meeting with my father. And we’ll arrive fifteen minutes early to take Moore by surprise.” I told him. He nods and leaves, closing the door.I open my laptop and sigh at the sight of my screen…It’s Safina and I after we went to the tattoo shop on our first anniversary, replicating the spaghetti kiss from Lady and the Tramp in my favorite Italian restaurant.*Flashback: Max and Safina’s One Year Anniversary*“This place is wonderful Max, th

I kept staring at the email for what felt like hours… Max King had sent me an email yesterday with the purpose of having a possible partnership.“Hey Lex here’s the revised marketing presentation that you asked for– why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” Leo walks in my office, holding a flash drive “What happened?”“Would you believe me if I told you that Maximilian King is asking to meet with me soon regarding a possible working relationship?” I asked, still frowning as I show him my laptop screen“It really is the end of the world!” he joked as he finishes reading the mail“It’s not funny Leonard.” I stood up and looked at my window “Ever since Preston and I stepped up as the respective heads in our companies, we were rivals.” I let out a sigh“Maybe Max King is different than his father. He might want to bury the hatchet.” Leo says positively, I nodded apprehensively“From what Safina has told me, when he became CEO he is just as bad as his father had been.” I faced Leo
The Billionaire's Angel Twenty Eight: Max
*Meanwhile at Max’s penthouse apartment*I poured myself a third glass of scotch while looking at my window, the noise and lights of the city somehow calms me down as I drank my sorrows away.The last time I’ve stepped foot in this apartment was when Safina had caught me cheating on her with a girl who’s name I didn’t even bother to know.I closed my eyes as I remembered what Safina had told me in the beginning of our relationship…And what I had promised her.“I was a result of an affair according to my mom. She didn’t know that my father was married to someone else, he abandoned us for his wife when I was six.” She stated with a sigh “Then at sixteen I fell in love with the guy who I lost my virginity to, only to find out he was using me to finally graduate.” She chuckles sadly “Then my mom died due to an overdose when I was a little over nineteen, leaving me with debts I didn’t even know existed.” She sighedMy heart hurts for the girl I love as we both have cruel fathers and

Safina’s Point of View It has been days since I last saw Lex in person, I was almost an hour late when Mama Benj had dropped me off to the office but Wilma was the one who welcomed me at the office, explaining that Lex wasn’t coming to work that day.He's also sent me an email that I opened the moment I noticed it on my desktop since I somehow forgot my phone at Mama Benj’s place.Safina,I want to let you know that I won’t be coming to work today, I am not feeling that great when I woke up this morning. I tried calling you earlier but you weren’t picking up the phone. Nevertheless, I want progress reports sent to this email before you leave work.I’ll be back at the office tomorrow.Respectfully,Henry Alexander Moore.It had been three days since that email, and he hasn’t come to work yet. Though we correspond with emails about progress reports and work related things, I’m too afraid to ask him why he isn’t at work.Probably because it might’ve been because of me and how
