EPISODE 2.
Ryan's eyes scanned the club with disinterest, his face a mask of boredom. "I don't want to be here, Ethan. You know I'm not a fan of this kind of place," he said, his voice laced with disdain.
Ethan clapped him on the back, a grin spreading across his face. "Come on, man, lighten up! I brought you here so you could let go of all your troubles. You need to relax and have some fun. You'll be better in no time."
Ryan scoffed, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. "Easy for you to say"
* You're not the one with a broken heart.* He thought a hint of pain in his eyes.
"Trust me, Ryan, this place has exactly what you need. And I'm not just talking about the drinks. There's this one dancer... she's incredible. I saw her dance a few days ago, and I've been coming back every night since. Once you see her, you'll forget all your worries." Ethan said assuring him
Ryan raised an eyebrow, " what's so special about her?"
Ethan's eyes lit up. "She's got this... presence. This energy that just draws you in. And her body... damn, Ryan. You'll see what I mean when she comes on stage."
Ryan's gaze swept the club again,He spotted a few girls eyeing him from across the room, but he felt a surge of disgust. He wasn't interested in any of them
" Fine whatever let's just get this over with" he said and Ethan smiled.
"Ethan! Ryan!" A guy with a friendly smile waved at them, and Ethan returned the gesture with enthusiasm.
Ryan raised an eyebrow, curious. "Who's that?"
Ethan replied, "That's kelvin we went to high school together, don't you remember?"
Ryan scoffed, "So what? Why should I remember him?"
Ethan's grabbed Ryan's arm. " Come let's go he's waiting for us"
Ryan rolled his eyes, but let himself be dragged along as kelvin led them to the private room, curiosity getting the better of him. Who was this dancer that had Ethan so hyped up?.
As they entered the private room, they were greeted by three guys already seated and drinking. Ethan eagerly approached them, and they hailed each other with familiar laughter.
Ethan turned to Ryan and said, "Guys, this is Ryan. I hope you still remember him."
Ryan remained silent, his hands shoved deep into his pockets, his face a mask of indifference.
Trevor, one of the guys, smirked and stood up, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Of course, we remember him. I mean, who doesn't remember the famous Ryan Thompson, now CEO of Thompson Industries?"
The other two guys chuckled, and Ryan's expression remained unchanged,
Trevor continued, "Man, Ryan, it's been ages! We've got a lot to catch up on. Come join us, and let's get you a drink."
Ryan just glanced at him before taking his seat with a straight face. Even if he forgets the others he still remembered Trevor, the same guy who always competed with him in highschool. Trevor chuckled and sat down too.
- "Man, Ryan, you're doing great in the business world! Your company is just climbing the ladder and making it difficult for others to compete with you, you're a real genius Ryan." He said with a sly smile, Ryan just ignored him
Ethan, sensing the growing tension quickly spoke up
"Hey, let's not talk about business, guys. We're here to have fun, remember?"
But Trevor pressed on, his smile growing wider. "I just took over as CEO of my company, and I have to say, I'm a bit intimidated by your success, Ryan. I hope you'll be willing to offer some guidance along the way."
Ryan's smirked and replied, "I'm sure you'll figure it out, Trevor. After all, it's not like you have a reputation for being ruthless in your business dealings."
Trevor's laughter sounded forced, but he quickly recovered. "Hahahaha, let's not dwell on that. Let's have some fun! I've got a surprise for you all."
He pressed a button, and a waiter entered the room. "Bring in the dancer," Trevor ordered, his eyes glinting with excitement.
The room fell silent, anticipation building as the door opened and a figure entered. Ryan's gaze narrowed, his interest piqued despite himself.
Emily entered looking stunning, she was known in the club as gray because of her gray eyes. Her hair was a vibrant blue color and fell down her back in long, flowing waves. Her eyelashes were long and luscious, and her heavy makeup only added to her beauty. She wore a short blue gown that showed off her curves, stopping just a few inches below her bottom. Her bright red lips looked inviting, and her gray eyes sparkled boldly. Her long, fair legs were toned and attractive, complementing her slim waist, flat stomach, and hourglass figure. She was a sight to behold!
As Emily danced, the guys couldn't take their eyes off her. Ryan, too, was watching her, but his expression remained stoic, his face a mask of indifference. He sipped his wine, his eyes fixed on Emily's mesmerizing movements.
Emily's moves were fluid and seductive, her body moving like a wave as she danced. Her hips swayed hypnotically, her curves accentuated by the tight blue gown. Her legs moved in perfect rhythm, her feet bare and her toes pointed.
As she spun and twirled, her long blue hair flew around her like a whip, her gray eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. Her red lips curled into a sly smile, inviting the onlookers to watch her every move. She was a siren, luring with her beauty and her charm.
Trevor, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to ear, clearly enjoying the show. He excused himself for a moment, slipping out of the room unnoticed. When he returned, no one paid him any mind, too captivated by Emily's performance.
A waiter arrived with a tray of drinks, setting one in front of Ryan. Ryan eyed the drink warily not wanting to drink, But before he could push it away, Trevor spoke up, his voice laced with challenge.
"Ah, come on, Ryan. If you're not man enough to handle it, then don't bother."
Ryan's eyes narrowed, his pride piqued. He lifted the glass and drank it, Trevor smiled secretly.
*
* " Okay Emily this is the room remember you have to...dance your best okay" mr Johnson said drunkenly and left. Emily took a deep breath before entering the room.
" Hello sir, am gray and am here to dance for you" she said with a shaky voice , she didn't dare look up. She turned on the music and started dancing immediately.
Ryan sat on the bed,his vision slowly came into focus, his mind foggy and disoriented. He saw a girl dancing in front of him with a blue hair and blue dress. As he struggled to sit up a sharp pain shot through his head, making him wince and fall back onto the bed.
But as he lay there, he felt a sudden surge of heat coursing through his body, his skin burning with an intense desire. He looked up at the dancer, his eyes locking onto her blue hair and blue dress, and felt an overwhelming urge to possess her.
With a groan, Ryan forced himself to sit up, his head spinning. He reached out a hand, grasping for the dancer, and pulled her towards him. She stopped dancing, shocked, as Ryan's hand closed around her wrist.
"Who...what's going on?" Ryan mumbled, his voice slurred and confused.
The dancer tried to pull away, but Ryan's grip was too strong. He pulled her closer, his eyes fixed on her face, trying to focus on her features.
" Sleep with me, I'll compensate you well" he said drunkenly and emily's eyes widened immediately.
Tbc...
EPISODE 3" SLEEP WITH ME..." Those words rang in her ear and her eyes widened immediately. This is what she was avoiding. She quickly removed her hand from his grip " Am sorry sir but am not here for that, I only came to dance for you but... since you don't want that I'll take my leave now" she turned to go but he lifted her off the floor like she was a feather " Let go ! Let go of me!" She shouted hitting his back. He dropped her on the bed breathing heavily the pain was too much for him. He quickly brought out his check book from his wallet and wrote on it. " Here, this is three million dollars... have it" he stretched it to her but she kicked his hand away standing up. " Are you crazy! How dare you use money to trade for my body! I'll never sleep with you" she yelled like a crazy woman but Ryan wasn't having it, he quickly grabbed and pinned her to the bed his eyes red now. " Fine, then... I'll force you" he said with a husky voice. He smashed hi

Time to wake up for school!"Zander groggily got out of bed, his eyes half-closed. "Do we have to go to school mum? Can't we just stay home?" Emily smiled at her son's cute face. " Sorry sweetie but you must go" she said her voice frim but gentle.Ash, on the other hand, bounced up and down, her blue eyes shining with excitement. She gestured eagerly, pointing to her backpack and then to the door.Emily smiled. "Come on, Zander. Ash is excited to go. Let's get moving!"Emily stood in the bathroom, helping Ash brush her teeth while Zander stood at the sink, brushing his own teeth with a determined look on his face."Zander, make sure to get the back sides of your teeth," Emily reminded him.Zander rolled his eyes. "I can do it myself, Mom. I'm not a baby!"Emily smiled patiently. "I know you're a big boy, but it's my job to help you remember. No

It's a pleasure to work with you today."Alex snorted, flopping onto the massage table. "Just get started already. And make it quick. I need to relax before my next shoot." She snapped " Yes ma'am" Emily replied calmly and began the massage, her hands moving in smooth, gentle strokes. But Alex was far from relaxed, constantly interrupting Emily to demand more pressure, less pressure, and complaining about the temperature in the room."Turn up the heat! No, no, not that much! Ugh, this is ridiculous. Can't you see I'm trying to relax here?"Through it all, Emily remained silent her face a mask of professionalism. She made adjustments as needed, never once taking offense at Alex's abrasive behavior.

Zander sad."Emily's heart melted at her daughter's gesture. She knelt down and wrapped her arms around Ash, holding her close. "Oh, sweetie, it's not your fault.

"When?"Ryan didn't respond, just kept walking and nodding to people's greetingsAlex's frowned for a moment before she recovered. "Ryan, come on. You can't just ignore me."Ryan paused, his eyes locked on hers. "How long are you going to keep bugging me,?

Episode 56 Alex's Place Alex tapped her feet anxiously as she looked at her phone screen, her eyes scanning the list of trending topics. She was afraid Sophia had carried out her threat of exposing her to the public and now, she was terrified that her name would suddenly appear on the list, her reputation ruined forever. She bit her nails, her mind racing with worst case scenarios. " That bitch.." she cursed silently as she remembered Sophia words at the station yesterday.

She half yelled, tears already welling up in her eyes. Emily Shaked her head slowly before looking at her " can't you stop him? Am sure he won't go if he doesn't want to..." " You think we haven't tried that" pat cut her off " my aunt and I have tried to convince him but he won't budge and do you know why?" She asked but Emily just stared at her."

"What women?" He scratched his head. "A few days ago, my brother suddenly paid a huge sum of money for our dad's medical bills, but when I asked him how he got it, he didn't tell me. Then I saw him talking to two women in front of the hospital, and they looked suspicious."Emily's eyes narrowed. "Do you recognize them?"The guy shook his head. "I can only remember one since I saw her face clearly, but the other one had big, dark shades on and had her back facing me, so I couldn't see her face properly." He answered but before she could ask another question her phone rang."Hello, Vera...""Emily, we found the culprit," Vera said over the line, her voice excited.Emily's eyes widened. "Really? How? When?""Today. You remember I was doing a vlog that day, right? Well, turns out I had left

But all she saw was genuine emotion, a deep and abiding love that seemed to shine from his very pores.Emily's heart skipped a beat as she felt her defenses begin to crumble. She had thought she was immune to Ryan's charms, but now she wasn't so sure."Boss...I" she whispered, her voice barely audible." Don't you have any feelings for me at all?..." He asked cutting her off guard again with those piercing deep blue eyes of his that seemed to see through her. " I can always wait for you" he added, his voice low and husky.Emily took deep breath before replying " Boss...am sorry but I don't have any feelings for you and I never will, please don't wait for me" she said and with that Walked out on him.
Episode 52 Ryan's place * ... even I can see how much he loves you, so why can't you?* Tyler's words played in her head as she stood in front of Ryan's door unsure of what to do once she steps inside. " Okay... just, be yourself" she muttered before opening the door thanks to the spare key Tyler had given her earlier. Emily entered the house and was immediately hit with a strong smell of wine. " Gosh, he has been drinking again" she squeezed her face when her eyes landed on the empty bottles of wine on the table. " Maybe I shouldn't be here" she turned to leave but Ryan came downstairs that moment. " Emily?" Her heart skipped a beat as she turned to face Ryan.

Episode 49 Ethan Place Patricia was helping Ethan dress his wound after driving him to his house. Though it was a slight cut on his arm, maybe from when he tried dodging the knife. Pat was cleaning the wound carefully and gently, trying her best not to hurt him further. She was also trying not to cry as she sniffed occasionally. Ethan couldn't help but stare at her in awe. "Why are you crying?" he asked. "I...I'm not," she answered, her voice shaky. "But you are," he scoffed. "Stop crying already, it doesn't even hurt much," he said, looking away. "Ah!" he shouted when Pat pressed down the bandage. "Why are you shouting? I thought you said it didn't hurt," she spoke innocently, not looking at him. Ethan gasped in shock. "I'll go get more bandages," she said, leaving the room. Just then, he heard a buzzed sound and picked up the phone. "Oh, it's hers," he said, making to drop it back but saw a message: "_How was our acting? Not bad, huh? Send us our balance now._" His brows
