Chapter 1
Flames of anger shot through her as her dad broke the news.
She don’t believe her ears and she don’t have the intention to.
“You heard me right, Mia” Her dad confirmed.
“Wha...what the fuck are you talking about?” Rage swept over her.
“You don’t want me to repeat myself, do you?” Her dad, Mr. Conner scoffed.
“You are just speaking gibberish, am not doing that. You don’t expect me to live with a stranger. Why would you even do that!” She half yelled.
“Mia just calm down. This man is a billionaire and he is offering a whole lot of money just for you to come to his house and stay. “
“And do what?”
“That doesn’t really matter”
Mia scoffs “ really? that is it with you. You don’t care. You don’t care about what I feel. You just do everything without my permission and expect me to accept it. I don’t even know who the hell is this man you are talking about and I don’t want to know and you just signed a deal with him for me to stay with me in his house. Who the hell does that?”
“ I won’t have you talk to me anyhow, Mia Conner!” Mr. Conner slammed.
“He is offering big money and I can’t lose it. You are doing what I say whether you like it or not!”
“You can’t make me!”Mia maintained her ground and walked out of her dad immediately.
She went up to her room and slammed the door behind her in anger.
She fought the urge to cry.
“No..., you are strong Mia,” She said to herself as she sniffled.
She knows her dad is greedy for money but not to this extent.
A billionaire paid her dad a huge sum of money for her to stay with him in his house.
That does sound suspicious. For what exactly?
To have sex with her? Torture her? Lock her up?
She raked her hands through her hair frustratedly.
Why does this have to happen now?
She just started dating Logan, her school’s most hottest guy.
Girls are practically begging him to date them but he chooses Mia.
He have actually been in love with her for a long time but doesn’t know how to tell her.
It was the final year of college and he musters up courage and proposed to her.
She agreed. She won’t deny the fact that she likes him too. She decided to give the relationship a try.
Their relationship isn’t even up to 24hours yet and her dad wants her to live with a stranger.
She sighed and brought out her phone and dialed her best friend, Martha‘s number.
Martha picked at the first ring.”Hey, babe” Martha’s high-pitched voice said.
“Hi” Mia uttered silently sitting on her bed.
“You don’t sound good. Is everything alright?”
“Am not sure”
“Did something happen?” Martha sounded worried.
“My dad just said somethings to me this evening and it got on my nerve”
“What is it this time around?”Martha inquired.
“I don’t know, it just sounds stupid. When I got home, my dad told me am leaving the house. Initially, I thought he was drunk but then he said a billionaire signed a deal with him and wants me in his house till further notice”
“What? To do what?”
“That was my question too. Why would he do something as extreme as that! I don’t even know this guy” Her temples throbbed with rage as she said this.
“Babe, calm down. I understand how you must be feeling right now. I must admit what your dad did isn’t cool at all and I think he is selling you out”
Mia’s chest stuttered and her hands started shaking.
“He can’t do that to me! I can’t allow that”
“Why don’t you talk things out with him”
“Calmly” Martha added “He should terminate that deal he signed with the guy”
“He should better!”
“It going to be fine. Okay?”
“I hear you” Mia breaths out.
“Will call you later”
The call dropped and Mia dropped her phone on the bed and proceeded to go to the bathroom and have her bath.
Her dad is going to hear from her!
*****************
Mia ignored her dad throughout the day until it was nighttime.
She prepared dinner and served the food in the dining.
She called her dad who was busy watching a documentary in the living room.
He is mostly on the tv. He doesn’t have a permanent job.
After her mom’s death, her dad have become more greedy for money but is always finding the easiest way to get it.
He have worked in different places and hardly spend long there.
He usually gets sacked due to his incompetence and truancy.
Mr. Conner stood up and walked to the dining table.
He sat down and Mia also sat opposite him and stared at him.
Her dad looks younger than his age. Viking brown hair, Bristly eyebrow,
Hawkish nose, concrete jaw, and dark bristly mustache.
You will mistake him for a 30-year-old.
“About what you said this evening, I just want you to tell me you were joking” Mia started as they started eating.
“Mia” Mr. Conner called slowly.
“This man is a billionaire and he is clearly interested in you. He is offering huge money for you to just stay in his house. The money is enough to change our life. You will be going to school from his house, he isn’t stopping you and you would be living the life of a queen. Don’t you want that? Besides, you are not staying there forever”
“Dad, this is just crazy.”
“It not. It's a great opportunity we shouldn’t let slip our hand.”
“It doesn’t feel right. I don’t even know this guy. What if he is dangerous?”
“He is not, trust me”
“So you are doing this just for the money” I frowned.
“Of course. You don’t expect me to reject that amount of money”
Mia was about to talk but was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing.
She glances at her dad and checked the caller id. It was Logan, her new boyfriend.
She picked it and placed it on her ear.
“Hello babe”
“Hi”
“How are you? Decided to check up on my girlfriend”
Mia blushed “Logan,” She said and her dad gave her a questioning look.
“What are you up to?”
“Having dinner with my dad”
“Oh, I shouldn’t disturb you then. Will call you later”
“Okay”
“I love you”
“Love you too,” Mia said softly and dropped the call.
“Who was that?” Her dad asked.
“My boyfriend” Mia simply answered.
“Hmm, anyways you are leaving tomorrow” he announced.
“Uhh”
“He called and told me he wants you in his house tomorrow”
“What! No! If I want to go, at least you would give me time to think about it”
“There is nothing to think about. pack your things. You are going there tomorrow”
Mia stared at her dad angrily. What is she going to do?
And who exactly is this guy in question?
Chapter 2(Next morning)Sleeping peacefully on her bed, Mia was cradling a pillow to her chest. The sun was beaming through the blinds.Usually, waking up was a simple task for Mia. She was a morning Person actually. She groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit her face.Picking up her alarm clock on her nightstand, Mia looked at the time.It was 7:45 am. Her Alarm was supposed to ring at 8:00.She wakes up early anytime she has a lecture but not today.She have class in the afternoon.She placed her clock back on the surface and slowly began to sit up.Crawling out of her bed, She walked out to her bathroom staggering a bit.After some minutes, she finished having her bath and walked out of the bathroom with a blue towel wrapped around her chest.She opened her wardrobe and brought out a Blue shirt and jean trousers.She wore it and combed her hair then realization dawned on her.Her dad said she is going to the billionaire’s house today.“I don’t want this! I don’t want this at
Chapter 3 Lust blindsided him as Mia slowly removed her clothing.He have always dreamed of this day when he would have Mia on his bed screaming his name and making her beg for more.He saw her at a beach party. His parent had come visiting and they told him they wanted to go to a beach.At the beach, his parent went on discussing while he left the tent. He saw a group of girls from a distance in bikinis dancing and drinking.Then he spotted her. Mia, She was seated while her friends partied.She had a cup in her hand as she sips slowly.He had moved closer to get a closer look at her.She is no doubt a beautiful young lady. She has a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was tempered and she has a burnished complexion.A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel white teeth gleamed. She has a flowing, moon shadow black hair. She have an enticing constellation blue eyes.He felt attracted to
Chapter 4MIA’S POV“Have seen every part of your body so what are you hiding?”When he said this, I felt really offended and hurt. I feel like a slut. Only a slut sleeps with a stranger.My dad caused this embarrassment. He sold me off to a stranger without my permission. This is crazy, really crazy.I had gone back to my room after leaving his and cradled myself on the bed wrapping the duvet around my body.I remembered the scenes from earlier. When he had sex with me. No man had ever made me feel this way on bed before and I hate the fact that I enjoyed it.What the fuck is wrong with me? Am not supposed to enjoy it and why the hell cant I stop thinking about it.I don’t even know his name. I will make enquires about that later.For now, I need to get him out of my mind. I laid on the bed and closing my eyes, I fell asleep immediately.===============The next morning..... I woke up feeling really weak. I managed to seat up on the bed and rubbed my tired eyes.A knock was heard on
Chapter 5“And Logan Must not know about this...” I said and flinched when I heard his voice behind me.“I must not know about what?” I turned to see Logan standing behind me with a confused look on.I hurriedly stood up to face him.“Oh hi Logan” I smiled nervously.“What are you girls talking about? What don’t you want me to know about?” Logan asked again looking at both me and Martha suspiciously.“It nothing, you know girls stuff” I answered laughing nervously.“Yeah. Girls stuff” Martha confirmed, a fake smile plastered on her face.Logan looked unsure but he didn’t push any further. Rather, he kissed my cheek.“So how are you?” He asked.“Am fine. You?” I said seating done while he sat beside me.“And this is the part where I will become invisible” Martha utters quietly but we just ignored her.Logan holds my hand and my heart flutters. “So I want to show you to a place this evening. What do you say?” He asked.“Say no, Say no!” My subconscious said to me but my brain already s
Chapter 6 Mia’s pov “And where do you think you are going to?” He asked coldly and my stomach knotted.“Erm..I..I..” I stuttered avoiding him.“I just want to see Kyle, yes!” I hurriedly said.He doesn’t look convinced and he checked me out again.“Dressed like this?” He asked.“Yeah..yeah, this is my casual wear.” I said nervously.“Get in!” He ordered as I was obviously in his way.“I told you I want to see Kyle” I said eyeing him. He should be the one to make way for me to pass.A dangerous smirk formed on his face and he moved closer to home.“I don’t like repeating myself. Go to my room and wait for me” He said, and I nodded feeling inferior with his presence.I hurriedly left my heart banging and rushed to his room.I sat on his bed tapping my fingers on my lap angrily. Logan is obviously waiting for me right now.What do I do? What do I do?I raked my hand in my hair frustratedly. Why the hell is he back early. I’m going to miss the date with Logan and I don’t want to make hi
Chapter 7 Mia’s pov Fear twisted my gut as I opened the message praying silently.From Logan: where are you?:Are you still coming?:Mia, I’m tired of waiting.:oh fuck.:Hello.:can you please just reply?:Are you there?:Did something happen?:uhm okay..:I’m off.:Bye then.I slammed my palm on my forehead. Bye? Is he saying bye to our relationship.Oh fuck!I quickly texted him.To Logan : hi, sorry for late replies.He viewed the message almost immediately but didn’t reply.What was I expecting.To Logan: i’m so sorry. I caught the flu and my dad wouldn’t allow me go out and I didn’t have the chance to text you.I have no choice but to lie and he also believes am still staying with my dad.A smile appeared on my lips when I saw the typing sign from him.From Logan: Damn!, How are you now?To Logan: better. I rushed to text you. I’m so sorry.From Logan: it’s fine. We would go out later. Hold on.My heart started beating when he started calling me on face time.What do I do? Log
Chapter 8 Mia’s POV I walked away and for some reasons, I was angry Logan didn’t try to go after me. I asked him not to follow him but must he abide by it?I grunted angrily and continued walking not looking back as my instinct told me Logan is watching my retreating back.I have no idea where I intend going but some minutes later, I found myself in the school’s garden.It was quiet and I was glad. I sat on the floor and damn did it feel cozy!. I wrapped my hands around my body as I recalled what happened earlier at the classroom.I’m angry at Logan. Like really angry. The course was really important to me and he just ruined it, just like that.I brought out my phone and started playing Whot to take the thoughts out of my mind.After some minutes, a message came in. I checked and it was from Martha.Martha- where are you? Logan is worried.Yeah, he should be. I thought.I contemplated whether to reply or not and later settled for the latter and went back to my game.I was about wi
Chapter 9 Mia’s pov (Weekend) I was on video call with Martha early this morning. “You look like you would faint anytime soon” Martha said fighting the urge to laugh.“Damn, do I look that bad in the morning?..” I asked looking at myself in the phone.“Very bad. You look like a walking dead” Marta answere chuckling.“Common, Martha. Are you serious?” I asked her, frowning.“Okay no. You look so beautiful Mia. Your morning look is the best!” Martha exaggerated blowing me a kiss and I gave her the look of “seriously?”“Really?” I said giving her a look.She shrugged. “See you don’t have to accept the truth. Maybe you would accept the lie”“You are so impossible” I said, feeling if we are near so I would have smacked her.“I would just take my bath when I’m done with this framing video call with you” I told her.“You don’t want mason to see you looking at like a walking dead”Martha raised her brows.“What? I don’t care what mason think I look like.” I said back to her.“Oh really? The
Chapter 24I brought it out from my pocket and my heart skipped a bit when I saw the caller’s ID. LOGAN! I flinched when I felt Mason’s presence behind me and I turned and his gaze is on my ringing phone! I gulped down nothing and declined the call putting my phone back in my pocket. Thankfully, Mason didn’t question me, he left my side and went to sit on his bed. MIDNIGHT… I couldn’t sleep. I just can’t get over the fact that Logan called me and I wondered if he called because he isn’t angry with me again. Mason is beside me on the bed but asleep. I quietly took my phone and switch it on. I messaged Logan. To Logan- I missed your call. I sent it and was about dropping my phone when a new message entered. It was from him. FROM LOGAN- yeah. How are you?TO LOGAN- why aren’t you asleep yet?HIM- why aren’t you asleep too?ME- okay, you got me. HIM- I have missed you, Mia. Life without you seems so hard. My heart skipped a bit reading this. I looked at my phone screen not kn
Chapter 23“What is it again, Mia?” He asked frustratedly.“Do you sleep with other women now ever since I came?” I askedHe looked at me and gave a surprised look. “You don’t need to answer. I don’t even care” I said and turned my back on him. I should have just kept my mouth shut. Now he is going to think I am into him. I was about walking back to my seat when I heard him say. “I don’t”I turned back and looked at him. “Not like I care anyways” I said and went back to my seat. Maybe I do care but he doesn’t need to know that. A part of me is happy I am the only woman in his life now. I suddenly cringe thinking of that. What am I saying? I am not in his woman, I am his slut. Either ways, he isn’t sleeping with Charlotte. That was what I wanted to know and I got the answer. Half an hour later, Mason left the office to God’s knows where. I was feeling pressed so I stood up and left the office to. I saw Christiana on my way.“We meet again” she smiled at me.“Hi Christina” I sai
Chapter 22 Charlotte took me around the company and i must confess, it is really nice. I couldn’t stop thinking about her words. She is the his favorite, was that why he wasn’t that strict with her? Is he also sleeping with her? Thinking about that breaks my heart. “Hey Charlotte” I heard someone call as we were about to head back. We both turned back and it’s a lady with blonde hair. She smiled widely and said. “Uhm, who is this?” She asked. “I’m Mia.” I said. “And you are?” She inquired. “His assistant. The boss personal assistant” I replied. Okay, this is weird. “Oh. I thought it was….”“What?” I asked.“You came in with boss and you are the talk of the company now. People thought you are his girlfriend” she said and my eyes widened.“She isn’t and can never be” Charlotte muttered rolling her eyes and I glared at her. I don’t know who she thinks she is but one thing is sure, I don’t like her. “I will head back now. I didn’t catch your name” I said to her.“Christiana. J
Chapter 21 MASON’S POINT OF VIEW. I left her alone when I found out she is writing her exams. I didn’t want to bother her. Not because I care or anything but because I take academics seriously and don’t want to distract her. After her exams were over, I was a bit worried. Knowing how funny Mia can be, she will surely try to sneak out whenever I am. I have to make sure the doesn’t happen and then only way it can’t is if he follows me to work everyday. If it were to be other girls, I would Have gotten rid of her a long time ago. I don’t have sex with women for this long but there is just something about her that keeps on calling me to her. I don’t think I can let her go, at least not know. I asked for Emily to call her and some minutes later, she was in my room. “I’m hiring you.” I said in a commanding tone“I don’t get. I didn’t apply for anything” she uttered. I ignored her and continued. “You will working in my company as my personal assistant till your break is over” She d
Chapter 20The next morning… I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room. I knew immediately that I was still in Mason’s room. I looked beside me and I was alone on the bed, still naked. I did let go of my pride yesterday’s night and ate the food and Mason had me all night. I was starting to enjoy the sex when I know I shouldn’t. I wrapped my body with the duvet and sat up on the bed. At the same time, Mason walked out of the bathroom. His eyes locked with mine and he looked away and walked towards the wardrobe. I made to greet him but stopped myself. He isn’t worth it. I watched him as he dressed up in a tuxedo. He then brushed his hair and then carried his briefcase and faced me.“Lock the door when you are done. And also, don’t repeat what you did yesterday.” He warned and without waiting for a response from me, he left the room. I scoffed and got off the bed and went into his bathroom. *****Two hours later… I was dressed up for school already. I went outside and w
Chapter 19“Just tell me if you are going to punish me or you are going to let me go and don’t keep me standing” I retorted staring at him. “Who gave you the effrontery to drug my workers?” He asked his expression changing. “You pushed me to it” “Tell me, who helped you?““Nobody” “I hate lies!” He half yelled“And I hate been yelled at!” I screamed back. Silence sets in as we both glared at each other. “Undress and get on the bed” he broke the silence. “What!” “I won’t repeat myself” he said. Thinking about it now, it’s been a while he laid with me. I hate to admit it but I miss his touch on me. “I’m your slut anyways” I scoffed and started removing my clothings. I got on the bed naked and laid on the bed. I buried my face in the duvet and waited. I heard movements but I didn’t raise my head up. I finally felt his hand on my body and I shivered. I shouldn’t love his touch.He turned me and made me face him. “Why are you doing this?” I asked silently.“Because I want to
Chapter 18It stopped right in front of us and my heart banged against my chest as the car door opened and he came out of the car. The Devil himself. I looked at Logan and our hands are still entwined. I removed my hand and he gave me a confused look.I have to think. I have to think fast!“Uhm, Logan. Come” I said and dragged him into the school premises back. “I think I misplaced my bracelet too. Can you help me check it in the classroom?”“But…Mia, what is going on? Do you know that man?”“I don’t. Why would I? Help me check the classroom please. I need to use the restroom” I said hurriedly. I have no idea what I am doing but this is the only thing I can think of right now. He stared at me for some seconds and finally nodded and headed to the classroom. When I was sure he was out of sight, I went back to the gate and Mason was still standing beside his car. “What do you think you are doing?” He asked with a straight look.“Nothing” I answered. I was sweating already. I have n
Chapter 17 Getting to school, the first person I saw immediately I got out of the cab is Martha. She looked surprised to see the cab.“What happened?” She asked.“I will tell you about it later. Have you seen Logan?” I asked. “Uhm No. he might be in class” she said.“Oh okay. Let’s go” I told her and we both walked to class. On getting to class, Logan isn’t there. I went to find a seat and sat down. “Do you think he still wants me?” I asked Martha. “I’m sure he does”“But he didn’t pick my calls nor respond to any of my texts”“He will surely come around. Just give him time okay?”“Fine!” I agreed.“So tell me why a cab brought you here. You finally got rid of him?”“Not really. But in a way” I said and smiled devilish. I told her about my plan and her eyes widened when I was down. “You have got to the kidding me. You are going to be in so much trouble if he finds out” she said.“He won’t. I’m sure of that” “And if he does? He is going to fire the workers you know. They might
Chapter 16“I won’t repeat myself” he stipulated. I glared at him and left the room closing the door behind me. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, there was no reply. What the hell is wrong with him? I knocked again and this time around, I heard him say. “Come in” I opened the door and walked in. He was back to operating his phone now. I rolled my eyes fighting the urge not to take a stick and hit it on his head. “I need you to stop Kyle from taking me to school” I said. This was the main reason why I came here. He didn’t raise his head up at me neither did he say a word. I continued. “I can go to school myself. There is nothing to worry about. It’s not like I am going to run away or something.”He still didn’t say a word and it was getting me frustrated.“I will take your silence for a yes then” I muttered. Still no reply. “Okay, I’m leaving. Thank you” I said and turned back. I was about opening the door when his voice stopped me.“My answer is No” I turned bac
