LIZZY

Lizzie’s pov

After we entered the room, Don helped himself to the bed while I stood awkwardly in the middle looking around. The bartender had already dropped the drink and left So I was left alone with him and I was already fidgeting to the bane of her existence.

“Why are you standing there?” Don’s voice filtered into my eyes and I nodded awkwardly. I didn’t know if I was to sit on the bed with him or on the sofa. I was already regretting why I followed Kylie and Coco to the club.

I saw him lean his body on the bed headrest and I used that opportunity to study his features. He was one hell of a fine man. From the way his biceps were peeking out of his crisp white shirt, I could tell he was a well built man and with his hair pulled up on a neat bun, he actually looked heavenly not to talk of the flirty look he had on his face. No wonder girls were throwing themselves at him, even Kylie and Coco were not left out of the drama. He was just perfect, it was safe to say he looked like someone straight out of a painting, a handsome Greek prince.

“I asked you a question Elizabeth” his voice reached me again and with the way he pronounced my name, I felt a kind of sensation build up in my body, how was he so perfect even with my name calling?

“Can I sit on the sofa instead?”

I watched his eyes sweep all over me and I could tell he was thinking something. Well I couldn’t blame him can I?

“Did you come here to mess with me?”

He stood up and walked over to me, his tall figure towering over me and I had to look up to meet his gaze, he looked like he was ready to devour me in the next second.

“My friends invited me here. '' I managed to answer well, gulping, he looked so intimidating and his eyes looked like they were boring a hole into my soul. He had judgemental eyes,

“If you didn’t want to be here, why did you allow your friends to force you here? Do you know what kinds of things happen in places like this? He yanked me closer and his grip on my waist was tight. At that moment I felt an inkling to bash the bedside lamp across his face but I kept my cool, he hasn’t tried to force himself on me anyways.

“Let me go please” I was trying to wriggle out of his arms but his hold on me was firm and he even cupped my neck In the most sensual manner.

“I didn’t buy you the most expensive non alcoholic drink in the world just for you to come here and mess around with me Elizabeth” his whispers sent shivers down my spine and I really wanted to get away from the handsome beast at that moment.

“I haven’t touched your drink, you can have it back”

His lips curved up in a sinister looking smile and he bent a little to my height,

“I Don’t care about the drink, Elizabeth, I can afford a hundred of them if I so desire. I want you and I want to have you”

What? I was dumbfounded. Was he being serious right now? Was I a commodity on a market shelf that he could pick and drop anytime?

“Don’t try to act smart with me, I Don’t like playing games”

“Get away from me” I tried to push him but he forcefully yanked me closer and tried to kiss me, that was when I lost it.

I used the heels I was wearing to match his legs and before he could regain his composure, I ran out of the room.

I could hear him cuss loudly at me and he ordered his men who were stationed outside the door to get me but then I was already running down the stairs and out of the busy club. Everything happened so fast and the next moment I found myself in a cab away from the club.

“Phew” I sighed to myself, that was a close one. I was never going to listen to coco and Kylie on issues like this ever.

Don was a big name in the country and a known womanizer, even though I knew he was going to get me anytime soon at least I escaped tonight and it was for the best.

The ringing of my phone jolted me back to reality and I saw that it was my aunt.

I pressed the receive button and placed the phone on my ears.

“Aunt”

“Where are you Lizzy?” She asked from the other end, “no one is at home”

“Sorry aunt” i massaged the space between my brows, “I will be there in five and the keys are under the mat”

“Okay”

I disconnected the call and my mind drifted back to Don again. I wondered if he told his men to chase after me or if he told them to let me go. Well I would go for the latter, almost all the ladies at the club were throwing themselves at him so he would surely have someone if not a group of girls to grace his bed tonight.

******

In about fifteen minutes I reached home and I saw my aunt sitting on one of the sofas and she was watching her favorite Korean show, how she loved them.

“Hey aunt” I gently hugged her and her lips curved into a smile while studying me.

“Wow, someone is looking breathtaking Laura” my aunty calls me Laura sometimes because she says I look like her classmate who's lol, 

I rolled my eyes, “Don’t even start aunt” I perched on the space near her, it was good to have her around.

“You went out with your friends?”

“Something like that”

I didn’t want to think about what happened back at the club even if I knew Coco and Kylie would not let me hear the last of it.

“Have you had dinner?” I asked aunt Maggie after a while and she rolled her eyes at me.

“You mean the snacks you kept in the fridge? Who eats yogurt and fruit for dinner Lizzy?”

“Me aunt” I pointed to myself, “it’s not like I have a lot of cash to afford expensive meals or even the kind of meals I want. Even the interview I went for today I lost because apparently I am prettier than the receptionist” I was still finding it hard to believe that receptionist would deprive me of a job because I was prettier, I mean who cares?

Aunt Maggie sighed, “I have a job offer for you”

This piqued my interest and I immediately focused all of my attention on her,

“What work?”

“It can help with daily life, a cleaner”

“Cleaner?” Not like I was embarrassed by that but I just remember I was not even allowed to be a cleaner because I was pretty.

“Yeah, this particular company is hiring cleaners and I mentioned to a friend of mine who works there and he kept a slot of you”

“Thank you so much aunt” I pounced into her embrace, I was filled with gratitude.

“Thank you so much aunt, what would I have Done without you?”

She patted my back lightly and I was happy, she had been like a mother to me after I lost my family and I couldn’t love her less. My life was about to get juicy and I couldn’t wait to share the good news with Coco and Kylie.

“By the way, where is the company?”

“Have you heard of that trillion dollar hotel that was launched like a year back?, one of the biggest hotel”,

My eyes opened wide in amazement, that was the same company I had gone for an interview earlier. Maybe the universe was on my side.

“Can you believe that was where I went for an interview and I was rejected?

“Really?” She was also dumbfounded, “it seems something is installed for you in this job”

“I hope so aunt”

“And you have to start tomorrow morning, no time to waste”

“I love you so much aunt”

After talking I stood up, the smile on my lips was growing wider by the minute,

“I will take a shower and be back”

“Okay”

While aunt Maggie focused her attention back on the television, I went back to my room. I needed to arrange my outfit for tomorrow by the way.

Just as I entered my room, Kylie’s call entered and I rolled my eyes before pressing the receive button.

“Where the hell are you girl?” Her voice sounded like she was worried, “you left without saying anything or even telling us”

“That Don tried to force himself on me so I had to run for my life” I sat on my bed while talking.

“Don can’t force himself on you Lizzy, he is Don for God Sake and he gets whatever he wants”

“Good for him” I sneered.

“Do you know the kind person he is? Don will find you Lizzy and who knows what he will do to you?”

“Don’t worry about that Kylie, i have some good news for you”

“What?”

“I got a job”

“Oh my gosh” she squealed excitedly, “this is good news. I am happy for you girl”

“Thank you so much” I was also happy for myself.

“We will come over later and celebrate, finally”

“I will be waiting then, Don’t come late i have to go to work tomorrow”

After discussing a few things, I ended the call and laid on my bed with excitement. A few hours ago I was jobless and a few hours later, I suddenly have a job? It was just too good to be true. But the thoughts of Don kept lingering in my mind. I knew he was not an ordinary billionaire but I just couldn’t give him my dignity just like that.

“Stop thinking about him Him!” I said to myself, “ he is insignificant for now”

After talking I closed my eyes to savor the moment of my new job, life was about to get better and better.

                         ********

It was already past seven when I sauntered into the hotel and I didn’t fail to notice the receptionist from the day before sneering at me but  I couldn't care less about her but I was really wondering if she was  also a worker at the club or she was just obsessed with Don just like other women. Well I couldn’t care less about that, I already had the job and no one could take it away from me.

With that in mind, I entered the office I was supposed to report to.

“Good morning sir” I greeted the man who I was directed to.

“You must be Elizabeth Spencer?” The man behind this desk asked and I nodded, “you are to start work immediately. The boss is coming over and the penthouse on the last floor needs to be cleaned, so let’s start with that. We Don’t have much time”

“Okay sir”

I wasn’t in the least surprised, it was a trillion dollar hotel after all, everything was top notch.

After I got my uniform, I made my way to the elevator leading to the penthouse.

My mouth opened in awe when I entered the house, this was like a house in the movies just that this was better. Everything was made of glass and the penthouse looked majestic. The owner must be a lover of nature because I could see some plants and everything was well kept. This was like a dream house which only a few could fantasize about, it was heaven on earth.

“Make sure not to break anything” the man said as he entered the room and I nodded before setting to work.

The master bedroom was as large as my whole house and the bed looked so inviting as I entered. Everything looked spick and span, seems like the boss was a clean freak.

“It won’t do you any harm to feel the softness of the bed against your body lizzy” I said to myself as I advanced towards the bed, “you also deserve good things once In a while”

I sat on the bed and my eyes closed in ecstasy at how soft and warm it was, I could sleep on it and not wake up for hours.

I looked at the time and it was just a little past eight, the boss was expected to come by ten so I still had about two hours left.

Without bothering about the consequences, I laid on the bed and closed my eyes. Goodness knows I didn’t plan to sleep but the bed was like a comfort to my soul, I didn’t know when I drifted to the land of dreams.

*******

Don’s pov

Something came up so I had to go a little earlier than usual to the hotel and the moment I entered my penthouse, I was surprised to see a frail figure on my big soft bed and my eyes immediately dimmed. Who the hell was she to have the guts to sleep on my bed? Were the workers here no longer scared of him? Was he becoming too lenient with them?

Without saying anything, he moved a little closer and was surprised to see who was sleeping on his bed. The lady who hurt him the night before and my lips curved up into a smile. Seems the universe brought her directly to my doorstep, now she had nowhere to run to.

Lizzy slowly opened her eyes when the ringing of her phone jolted her back to reality and she got the shock of her life. What the hell was Don doing here?

“It seems even God wants me to punish you for what you did to me” the smile on my lips was unmatched and I could see the color drain out of her eyes.

“What…what are you doing here?” The poor girl was stuttering and I loved it.

The night before she was proving to be a tough girl and now she was at my mercy.

“A stupid question for someone who works in my company”

Lizzy’s eyes opened in wide horror, Don was the owner of this trillion dollar company and she was just finding out? Was this her karma for wounding him with her shoes yesterday night?

“I can see how scared you are Elizabeth, you are wishing you didn’t accept the job right?” I took slow steps towards her as I talked and I could see her move backwards a little which made me give a light chuckle. Where the hell did she want to run to when we were both alone in my penthouse and with  my guards stationed just  outside my room, she was now at my mercy.

“Stay away from me”

“Not after I have a taste of you”

I yanked her closer and she yelped before falling into my arms, my eyes travelled down to her body and I could feel myself get excited at how big her boobs were. I wanted her and I wanted her now.

“Let me go please” Lizzy begged but it was already too late, I already undid the first two buttons of her dress.
