Wayne was considering having his ears checked since he was already at the hospital.It sounded like Jessica just said that Rose thought he was a threat to her.“What the hell do you mean?” Wayne’s eyes narrowed in suspicion.“Wayne, the thing is Rose said she started feeling sick after she ate a cake you sent her. So she’s scared that you tried to poison her or something.” Jessica said sadly.“But I didn’t send her any cake!” Wayne protested and he struggled to remain calm. “Look, there’s something going on and I want to get to the bottom of it as well. Just let me get in there and explain to her. It was Amanda who gave her the cake.” They might let him in if he remained civil and stayed calm instead of hollering like a mad man. But it was hard to remain calm when you were innocent and fingers were being pointed at you.Tom was searching for Amanda, because she was currently the only one who could shed light on the sit
Rose thought she was unconscious because reality had taken a dark turn.There was a probability that the man she loved had almost killed her on purpose. Now, her best friend was holding a scalpel to her throat.“Jess what’s going on?” Rose’s voice was shaky and she didn’t want to make any sudden movements.“Jessica, step away from her. I know everything so you can’t pretend anymore.” Wayne slowly stepped into the room, Tom, Winifred and Amanda followed him in.“Lock the door!” Jessica snapped and Tom slowly obeyed.“Jessie? I still don’t understand what’s happening. Please talk to me.” Rose looked in Jessica’s eyes but it didn’t feel like she was staring at her best friend.There was so much hate and anger in Jessica’s blue orbs.“Jessica has been trying to ruin your life. She has been trying to break us apart and make you lose your job. But today, she took it a step further and tried to kill you.” Wayne’s voice was hard
Rose Cohen’s heart was racing as she ran into the empty elevator and quickly pushed the button to get to the third floor.What if she saw someone coming and they asked her to keep the doors open? She was regretting her decision and wished she had taken the stairs instead, because this was a life or death situation. There was no time to wait for anyone to get off at the first or second floor, so she prayed no one came to join her."Please close, please close already, closeee" she pleaded with the elevator doors.She almost collapsed in relief when the doors finally obeyed her command. She really hoped she would make it in time."I should have called for help. Why didn't I call for help?" Rose asked herself as she slapped her forehead with her left hand in frustration.She quickly took out her phone so she could immediately dial 911 if the situation demanded for it. When the elevator doors opened, she ran down the hallway until she got to the apartment door and quickly brought out the s
As Wayne Blackstone looked down at his guests from his balcony, he realized that he wasn’t really in the birthday mood. He was supposed to be down there now with them, enjoying his twenty ninth birthday and getting drunk with his friends. But instead, he was up here sulking like a jilted lover and he didn’t even know why.He had decided to have a private pool party at his multibillion dollar estate this year instead of something really extravagant. He didn’t party in all the continents like he did last year or host a game week at one of his islands; like he did for his twenty fifth birthday.He simply decided to be low-key this year and had sent out invitations to only sixty of his friends and they were currently having more fun at his party than he was. Wayne could see some of them floating around in the pool and others simply playing some games nearby. Perhaps he shouldn’t even have held this party after all. What was the point if he wasn’t going to interact with his guests?They ha
When Wayne had finally ensured all was settled with his guests and made his way to the exclusive guest room. He had imagined with anticipation, the sight that would await him there; but it definitely wasn’t this.He opened the door and found Cinnamon sitting on one of the stools at the mini bar, she was drinking from a glass; and he noticed a bottle of scotch which was almost empty by her left elbow. Cinnamon had apparently found the remote for the inbuilt stereo because Akon’s “Lonely,” was playing at full blast. She was passionately singing along off-key as she lightly swayed from side to side.I’m so glad to see that you have made yourself at home, he thought dryly in disbelief. He couldn’t stop a smile from spreading across his face as he watched her little display from the door. She was so preoccupied in her performance that she didn’t notice he had entered the room.He locked the door and walked further in to the room.“Good evening Cinnamon,” he said in a sarcastic tone.But s
For the first time since Jessica had asked her for this outrageous favor, Rose was actually excited about carrying out the request. She wanted to strip for this man. She wanted to feel his eyes on her body as he watched in admiration as she entertained him.What the hell had been in that bottle of scotch? Perhaps it was more about the man sitting before her than the liquor in her system. She had spent less than an hour in his presence and all she could think about was the fact that she had never met anyone like him before. Was it because it was her first time meeting a billionaire? Maybe that was the reason she was feeling this way; after all money carried around a certain aura. But all that didn’t matter because she was here for a job and she fully intended to carry out her mission. She felt a tiny pang of guilt as thoughts of Victor popped into her head and her excitement died down.She wasn’t supposed to enjoy this. Hell! She wasn’t supposed to even be doing this.How would he fee
They say that you never know how drunk you are, until you try to get on your feet.Rose did not know how true this statement was until she had tried to walk to the pole. At this point, she was sure that there was no way she could walk in a straight line. It wasn’t even certain that she could do it if she went zigzagged. The situation was not supposed to be funny and if Rose had been in her right state of mind, she would have been horrified at what was happening. She would have been downright embarrassed at the way she was making a fool of herself in his presence.Her only consolation would have been that this didn’t happen in the presence of all his guests because it was a private show.First of all, she had almost blinded Wayne with her whip and then he had saved her from landing on her head. He had saved her once again and instead of thanking him, she had literally stepped on his toes.She was naturally a clumsy person, but with all the alcohol in her system, she was currently all
Wayne was really surprised with the sudden change in Cinnamon. One minute she was a clumsy oaf, slipping off the pole and stuff; while the next minute, she was like an irresistible temptress. He was considering putting her out of her misery and sending her home until she went down into a squat and put a hold on him.He was finding it difficult to breathe once again, but this time it wasn't due to laughter. Watching Cinnamon do her thing literally took his breath away and she had his undivided attention. He couldn't quite understand it. It wasn't like what she was doing was so extraordinary or the first time he had seen something like that.Hell, there were things he had seen Ming do in China that made him question if she was part human and something else. But here was this woman, who hadn't taken anything off yet but was blowing his mind. Even when she had been having her clumsy phase, he had still been watching her with unbridled interest.If it was someone else, he would have gotten
