View MoreBenedicta's POV I could not believe that I caught the attention of my best friend's brother. What an awkward position to be in. He kept looking at me the whole time he could set his sights on me. I thought if I avert my eyes he would just end up giving up. I learned that rich men like him don't like girls who play to get. So planned to act exactly that way but to no avail. It went downhill. I started to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed because for God's sake, he is Alexis's brother and I was not interested in all of him. I mean yes he is drop-dead gorgeous, and every girl's fantasy evidently by the not-so-discreet stares from the ladies. He is not your average guy at all. I am starting to regret my acceptance to come to this party. I'm simply I too admit that he affected me in more ways than one but those are feelings I can not act on. And it's because my tight-knit relationship with his sister and his sudden interest in me does not make it easy at all. Romantic relationships neve
Theron's POV After the encounter with my sister, Aaron, and her friend, Benedicta I went away to prepare for my speech. I am prepared but just to do last-minute touch-ups. Why do I even bother because I will end up improvising when the words float in my mind. Now I think it will be a little difficult since my mind cannot falter from a certain beauty. I hope I don't lose my words when I see her. " Sir, here is the speech you asked me to read," Melanie told me handing me the piece of paper with lengthy words. Suddenly I found myself not interested in all this. For the first time, I wanted to run from here and go to Benedicta. I wanted to get to know her. Why is this happening to me? I can't understand a thing as this has never happened that I got so interested in a girl. " Sir sir..." I heard the faint voice of Melanie. " Sir!" It was loud enough to pull me out of the daze I was in. " Yes?" " Are you ready sir? We are about to begin," she informed me and I looked at the paper and bac
Mercy's POV Alexis and I were already ready. I was nervous about everything but I must say I love the way I look. The complete look was magnificent. I never thought I would look this way ever. I looked like one of those cover girls in the magazines. My hair was tied into a messy bun with some strands loosely hanging. The dress perfectly fit my body and I wore T-strap black pumps on my feet. The jewelry I had on was pearl teardrop earrings and a gold pendant necklace. Nice and simple, not something flashy." You like it huh?" Alexis asked behind me. I was standing in front of the mirror in her room. I smiled. " Yes, I do." I ran my hands on the fabric of the dress in admiration. I feel beautiful for once in my life. She came to me and placed her hands on my shoulders. " Well, the dress is yours and you can put it on anytime. I can even buy you," suggested and I shook my head in denial. " No Alexis. Don't even think about it. You have done more than enough for me. And this dress will j
Theron's POV The day of the event was finally here. This is the day I officially put Twilight on the map. Another success to celebrate. Many of my past lovers have been calling nonstop to accompany me to the event but I turned them all down. I don't want any drama tonight so I decided to just go alone. " Man, are you seriously going alone to the party?" Aaron asked in disbelief. I rolled my eyes at him for the millionth time. He has been in my office all morning pestering me about Alexis. As always he wants to make me the middle man in their issues. " Yes, Aaron. I don't see anything wrong with it," I stated shrugging my arms and leaning back on my chair. " Alright fine but can you tell me who is coming with Alexis? Who is her date?" He was anxious and on the urge of his seat. " I don't know Aaron. Why don't you ask her yourself?" " Come on man. You know how she despises me and she won't pick up any of my calls. She even threatened that If we were to come to her apartment she get a
Benedicta's POV The hotel was buzzing with the final preparations for the opening ball. Well, it has been open for a while but the ball is a formal opening and exposure event to attract more guests. But I can confidently say that this hotel does not need exposure because guests keep piling up and the hotel rooms are fully booked. All I can say is that the decor is exquisite and breathtaking. I have never seen such beautiful grandeur before and I know the event will be a great success. It has to be with all the effort put into it. I almost envy these rich folk. Work was too much today so I decided to go back home as soon as knocked off. Deep down I was hoping to see that man. I know that I should not be but I could not help it at all. I don't know how to explain it all but it is what it is. I got home and I threw myself straight on the couch to take a nap. Alexis is going to come home late because she is going to a gallery event. Times like these can get lonely. I hardly ever see her
Theron's POV " Are the arrangements for the ball going as planned?" I asked my personal assistant who is in charge of overseeing the matter. " Yes sir. Everything is almost ready. There is nothing to worry about," she affirmed. I nodded my head in satisfaction. I like it when things go as planned. I don't like any imperfections in my work because it sends the wrong message. The ball is a function that I organize for the successful opening of each of my chains of hotels around the world. Although I can't be everywhere so have trusted people assigned to manage my affairs. Ever since my father died and the responsibilities of the business fell upon me I have always strived to grow the business to new heights. My father's legacy and my own. My thoughts were interrupted by a screechy annoying voice. " Hello, my love!" I snapped my eyes to the culprit. I swear to God she never gets a hint. But I also have my mother to blame for her actions. She has been encouraging Sarah to pursue me so t
I was working but my mind was somewhere else. I have been lost in thought since I bumped into that man. O don't know why but ever since I met him, I am unable to think of anything else. I felt like the was some kind of connection between us especially after he called me by that me. I needed to find him and ask him why he looked at me as if he knew me. It could be related to my family. I do not want to get my hopes up nor have I ever have. I never gave too much thought to the notion of family because as far as I'm concerned whoever they are left me behind and abandoned me. Then why now? Why am I constantly thinking about it? I need to stop this, or I will go mad overthinking this. It was just merely a coincidence. Yes, let me leave it that. Overthinking is not going to ease the situation. I will immerse myself in cleaning that way I can forget all about that man and Miranda. I packed all of my cleaning supplies so that I could move to the next room. As I advanced to the door it opened
Theron's POV I was in my office and my best friend Adrian was there. He was telling me about his latest escapades with some girl. He is so crazy, that's why my sister dumped his ass. Don't ask me how because I never concerned myself with their relationship I'm not an overprotective brother and Alexis is capable of protecting herself. " Oh you don't know man, that girl is a gazelle. Her boobs are so soft and her butt is jiggly and my hands feel are on cloud nine, " he waved his hands in my face with a stupid smile on his face. I chuckled and shook my head. This one is definitely a sex addict. " Alright man but can you go now, I have so much work to do. And by the way, are you coming to the opening ball of the hotel, or are you going to shack up some gazelle?" I asked him with a little smirk. " What do you take me for, my brother? I wouldn't miss it for the world. Besides, I won't miss out on anything because I'm going to see my sweetie," he winked at me and I facepalmed. As I said h
Benedicta's POV Oh my God, I can't believe that I'm stuck with this. I've been trying to work but all I hear is this lady's annoying voice. She is the same I've been trying to avoid her but I can't just run away. I have to finish cleaning but she is not making my job easier. It's been half an hour and I had to listen to her talk over the phone about how she is working on a plan to get her lover back. I just wish she could go already so I can work in peace. She is currently glamming herself up for the poor guy. She sounds bratty and selfish. And the fact that she keeps throwing around is annoying. I much will I have to pick up till she is enough? I have had enough of this. " Hey, you! Hurry up I want some privacy. You have been cleaning long enough now. I thought this hotel had efficient and quick cleaners," she says looking down on me. What! How dare she? Oh, I want to strangle her this instant. Is she stupid or just pretending? I can't believe she just said that. She just insinuate
Benedicta's POV " Hey, Alex-" " No! Lexi" she exclaimed cutting me off and making me chuckle. " Okay, Lexi, you know that I can't keep living here without contributing to anything even though you say it's okay but it's not with me." I have been trying for the past 4 months to convince her to let me bring something to the table but she never lets me. 6 months ago I was stranded in the streets of New York with nowhere to go. It was a coincidence but I zombie walked in front of her car because of exhaustion and dehydration and she knocked me over. After that, I woke up in her lavish apartment feeling completely out of place. Long story short, she bombarded me with so many questions about myself so I had to spill the beans about my perpetual miserable existence. I'm an orphan and I turned 18 so the system had to kick me out. It's not like I was sad about it because was more than happy to go out even though it was out to the streets. It was hell, to begin with, so don't mind even if I h
