CHAPTER 04

It was always the same story of her life, but the difference was that now there was a fucking bastard who wasn’t going to leave that bar empty-headed. From the mere instant his lascive eyes fell on her, he knew that there was no other woman who could compare to her. There was something about her that drove him wild, maybe it was the way she tried so desperately to cover her breast or her ass without leaving behind her elegance. She was not like the women working there, she was a diamond among stones because while the others were willing to do anything and everything at once just to get an extra tip, there she was, getting offended by the way that bastard had talked to her. Come on! All women were the same, the only difference was in the gap between women who were quick to accept that extra tip and those who played hard to get.   

On the floor, with tears falling from her eyes, she still had time to think about how weak those tears might her see if that fucking bastard looked at them. So, making herself a little stronger, she raised her head a little, getting ready to get up from there, when all of sudden, a third voice assaulted her ears. 

“What the hell is going on here?” A male voice asked as his walking stopped right in front of her. 

All she could see was those designer shoes well polished with that black suit. April closed her eyes a little as she was ashamed of the way the man had to find her. She hadn’t seen his face, but she was sure that the owner of that voice was none other than the manager of that bar, even though his voice sounded a little unfamiliar. 

“I asked you a question!” The man insisted. 

Yes! There was no doubt, it had to be the manager of that bar. Immediately, April rushed to get on her feet with her head down yet while her mind was working at a thousand per hour to make up an excuse. Of course she wasn’t going to accuse the man of molesting her. It was gonna be her the one to get scolded for not fulfilling that bastard’s darkest desires. 

Suddenly, the man behind her started laughing in mockery. Finally, April raised her head and… what was her surprise when she saw the man in front of her was not the manager of that bar! 

The designer suit, the white shirt with three buttons down that allowed her to see his well worked chest, his amber eyes, his tan skin, his straight hair, his beard, and that hardened gesture. He was unpleased with something. She could already say it. But who was he? She had never seen that man in that bar before? He looked like a potential client who was there to make some business on the second floor, asking for the most expensive drinks and ordering that no one bothered him. Maybe that was why he was accompanied by two bodyguards, one man on each side.    

“And who are you? The owner of this smelly bar? Do you want to know what’s happening here? Good! Happens that the women you hire like to play hard to get, and I’m getting tired of this! What are you going to do? Are you going to serve her on my bed?!” The man laughed. 

April couldn’t help but feel more humiliated than ever.  

“Are you going to pay her well?” The man in the designer suit asked. April couldn't believe her ears. She didn’t know who he was, but even if he was the same owner of that bar and was trying to force her into prostitution, he had to know that she was better off being fired than being a prostitute.  

And when she was about to speak up, the man laughed again. “Of course! I have enough money to pay her for every blowjob that she’s willing to do.”

April wanted to throw herself at him and give him as many slaps as he needed to shut the fuck up! 

“You-” April tried to say, but the man in the black suit cut her off with a single glance. 

“You want to have sex tonight with the gentleman?” Son of Hades asked. 

April insisted. “What? Look! I am not a-” 

“Good! You heard her, gentleman! She’s not interested in you!” Son of Hades cut her off, wiping off the man’s smile.  “If she doesn’t want to have sex with you, you should stop bothering her if you don’t want me-” 

“Hey! Hey! Are you the owner of the bar? If not, you can fuck up because I want to see the manager right now! This fucking bitch is going with me!” The man tried to grab April’s arm, but in a quick movement, the man of the luxury watch put her behind him at the moment he snapped his fingers to his men and with that signal, he ordered to take the man out of the bar. 

All April could hear was the screams of the man while he was being pushed out of the bar. April could finally breathe. She’d been left alone with the man while more people were whispering things about them. She didn’t know what she should do at that moment - show her respects to him, offer him something to drink in the house, give him the best place in that?

“I- I…” April murmured when the man turned around. 

All his amber eyes could do was look at her from head to toe. Her black hair, her delicate body, tanned skin, sexy thin lips, a delicate woman who wore that black short skirt and that white blouse with three buttons down. She didn’t seem to be like others. There was something about her that spoke for her and let everyone know that she was not from that world.  

Those lips, her small breast, her waist, the long legs… Damn it! Not ever before the Son of Hades had looked at a woman with so much attention as he was doing at that moment. 

“I-” April tried to say.

“If this is not what you do for fun, I don’t know what you’re doing here, wearing such a vulgar uniform,” he said.  

April’s smile erased and looked at herself discreetly. 

He was really handsome, the most handsome man she had ever seen in that bar, but above all, beyond all the thousand wonders she could describe about him, there was the one that announced the power this man enjoyed. Men at his sides who could only be his bodyguards, the way he dressed, the watch on his wrist that was surely made of gold, he seemed to have a man with a lot of money in front of her. What made her think that he could be any kind? 

“If you want to continue working here, stop getting on my way.” Then, the man walked off, leaving April speechless. 

As she regained her consciousness, she understood that all men were the same. If her own husband had put her under so much pain, what could she expect from the world?   

Shaking her head, she walked towards the tray on the floor. She needed to continue her work if she didn’t want to lose it this time. 

*****

For his part, as the Son of Hades walked towards his place, he couldn’t stop thinking about the woman who had crossed in his path. Yes, he’d had good times with many women who worked for him, but this was the first time that such a tasteless woman had robbed his attention. Come on! Her body wasn’t a big deal, what she did for a living could push away anyone but those who wanted a night of pleasure. He could even describe her as a joke in that place! When he knew he’d had enough, he shook his head a little and went upstairs -the VIP zone.

Two elderly men who also wore designer suits were already waiting for him. The Son of Hades changed his gesture to a happier one and greeted the men who got up from their seats as soon as they saw him coming. 

“Look who’s here! Lucian, AKA, the Son of Hades!” The first man said. 

Lucian smiled and greeted the man with respect. “Having a good time?” 

“Oh, yes, yes, of course, the drinks, the zone, and of course, the ladies make an exquisite moment!” The second one answered. 

“Ready to talk about business?” Lucian asked bluntly. 

Both men laughed hard. “You don’t waste any second, do you?”

Lucian smiled. 

“Come on, we’re having a good time over here. Don’t rush, live!” 

Lucian couldn’t say anything else, instead he poured himself a vodka and looked at the direction the men were looking.

It was true, Lucian never wasted any second. For him there was nothing more important than business. As much as he loved having a good time with a woman, there was something that he loved more than anything and that was power.  

“I don’t know what you two think but I feel that this drink doesn’t taste the same without a woman with us, shall I ask three women to come and serve us?” One of the men asked. 

“I’m fine just with the drink,” Lucian replied. 

Both men laughed but respected his decision, then one of them asked for two of the most beautiful women working there.

“Oh! Also, ask Adele to come and prepare for us one of those drinks she knows!” The elderly man raised his voice. 

A man left with the orders.    

“You indeed know how to make your bars one of the most prestigious around the city,” one of the men congratulated Lucian. 

Lucian sighed. Yes, he’d been clear enough when he said that he wanted the manager to hire just beautiful women, but it was until that moment that he was seeing his creation. 

Lucian just shook his head and drank his vodka.
