Hello stranger

Gustavo (Pov)

I know coming was a mistake, but I felt I left things back at the office on the wrong foot, I needed to set things right, I hate hurting her, but sometimes she leaves me no choice. I stared at the door that was just being shut in my face, I should have responded, I should have said something, why couldn't I, of course am hers, and forever will be. My whole body ached, today was a lot, I thought seeing her would ease some of my pain and ache, but instead, it just added to it.

*********

(Gemini pov)

The car was moving at full speed, Avina the mixed Asia beauty face radiating pure euphoria

“Tonight’s going to be epic” Avina yelled, her dark hair dancing in the wind

“Hey, be careful” Benson yelled, slamming the brake as the speedometer hit 60km. “Don't be reckless, Avina”

“Guys, I still wanna live” Penelope clutched onto me for support. “ this was a bad idea, we should have taken a cab, these two are InSane

For two years Benson and Avina had been inseparable since they met at an underground rave. He couldn't stop yapping about her, as if love had consumed his very being, and now racing through the night, it was evident that they were a perfect fit

“Benson, are you for real” I chipped in, I still felt drained and heartbroken after the little drama that transpired between me and Gustavo but I wasn't going to let that ruin my fun and also I didn't wanna die

“ relaxed G, I got this under control, right babe,” he said as he kissed Avina passionately in front of Penelope and I

“Ewe, gross, Ben” Penelope said her face irritated

“Get a room, guys” I chipped in

Benson suddenly parked in front of Club Hotburn as it was boldly displayed on the headboard. We all got out, the line seemed long but Benson always had his way of getting us in.

“Hey man,” Benson said as he complimented the big hefty bouncer that stood outside. Benson offered him cash as he smiled and let us all in

“Still got it” he beamed full of pride

“Oh, let's say we give it up for bento” Penelope hailed him

I couldn't help but laugh, being around these guys was priceless

As we stepped in we were greeted by a pulsating beat that resonated throughout the space. The dimmed light sets the mood, creating an atmosphere that is both lively and intimate. The air is filled with a mix of excitement, anticipation, and the scent of fragrant perfume as the crowds mingle and dance to the rhythm of the music.

Benson and Avina dancing to the beat took off to the dancing floor.

“ wanna dance, my fair lady,” Penelope said in a chivalry way, her hand stretched out

A smile formed on my face, as I took her hand. “Why not” We both head to the dance floor, dancing and feeling to the beat of the rhythm as the DJ takes control of the decks, seamlessly transitioning between genre and tracks that resonate with the crowd's mood keeping them on their feet and moving to the beat

Feeling tipsy and alive, I headed to the bar for water.

“A glass of water” I yelled over the deafening music. I scanned the crowd, my eyes locked on a figure in the VIP section. He held my gaze, unmoving.

The dangerous aura radiated from him, his black vintage shirt fitting perfectly on his muscular frame. his wild hair added to the seductive chaos. With the club's colorful LED light blurring his eyes, his intoxicating presence ruined my senses

He suddenly stood up and made his way toward me, I tried to avoid his approach as I faced the bartender, embarrassment washing over me, he stood beside me, and his cologne filled my nose. A scent that enticed

“ hello love, care if I buy you a drink,” his voice was low, raw, alluring and sent shivers down my spine

I choked on my water, what was wrong with me, get your shit together Gemini, I smiled, now facing him

“I think I have had too many tonight, I pass” I drank all my water in one full sip

His eyes stare at the glass, and a sly grin appears on his face. “ do you want that filled up” he asks, his eyes cold but yet mild staring at me, not moving an inch

“What” My head was a mess, who was he and what was he doing to me

“ your water love, you look thirsty” My eyes followed his as I stared at the glass in my hand, shy and embarrassed, I let go of the glass,

“Am good” I bit my lower lips in uneasiness, his finger gently touching my lip as he caressed it softly, he leaned closer and whispered

“Stop biting”.

My breath seized as my whole world crumbled before me, I held onto the bar table for support as he held me by my waist, in an attempt to save me from falling, I don't know who he was or cared about it either but whatsoever he was doing to me, I wanted more.

I grabbed onto his neck, his eyes searching mine, I wanted this man, I wanted to feel him, kiss him, I wanted him inside of me. I yearn to be consumed by his presence

“ want to go somewhere private” I heard myself asking

A mysterious grin appeared on his face, his brows furrowed as he pulled me up.

“Where to love” he was closer, his warm breath filled with whiskey brushed off my skin sending shivers down my spine.

“ do you have a car” I fumble with my hair

He gently moved a strand of my hair from my face, he was beautiful, like a sculptured art.

“A car? I do” he dangles his keys in my face. “ shall we” he steps aside as I walk passed him toward the exit door

I stood outside, as the cold night breeze brushed against my face. He stood beside me, his imposing status giving off a seductive posture.

“ where's the car” My eyes search around the parking lot

He leaned behind me, his breath warm on my neck as he directed my eyes toward a black beauty, his car was just like him, it radiated power, sophistication, and prestige. I turned my face towards his, who was he and why did I feel this way towards a stranger, with Gustavo, it was calm, but with him, it was more than I ever requested.

“What do you say, we take it for a ride love” his words brushed off my skin as he confidently strolled toward the parked car, effortlessly unlocking it. Anticipation crackled in the air as I found myself being drawn towards him, my heels echoing with each step on the well-tiled floor.

Without hesitation, I approached him, feeling the heaviness of his presence enveloping the car. The door sealed shut behind me, and he settled into the driver's seat. The click of his keys blends with the pulsating song that now fills the car.

“Hold on love,” he said as he stole one final glance at me, a mischievous smirk curled his sculpted lips as He drove off at full speed.

My eyes could not help but stare at his tattoo, it was beautifully drawn on his left hand upwards towards his chest area, as a slight opening of his vintage shirt exposed a little area of his built torso

“ so where are we going” I asked as I tried to peek outside the tainted glass

“Scared now, love” his voice mocking as he kept his eyes on the route. “ don't worry, I won't bite” he smiled, beautiful dimples appearing on his cheeks

We arrived. My eyes fixated on the towering skyscraper, its every window radiating a luster glow. He passed his car key to the security guy, then grasped my hand tightly, guiding me towards the opened space lobby. Standing before the elevator, anticipation surged through me, my heart pounding. As the numbers decreased downward, a satisfying chime echoed, and we stepped inside

“Nice penthouse” I managed to say, trying to break the silent and awkward lift. He said nothing, his expression cold as he focused on the number leading to the top floor. My throat felt dry as I tried to brace myself, what was his problem, one minute he was flirting, then the next minute he was cold.

As the elevator door opens, he walks out and heads toward a huge mahogany wooden door, I have lived enough in many of dad vacation houses to see one of these. The door was a piece of art itself as it showcased meticulous craftsmanship, floral motifs, and geometric patterns, displaying a fusion of classical and contemporary design.

He unlocks it as we step in, the living room is designed to maximize comfort and sophistication, featuring plush furniture, a Morden day fireplace, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems. It was perfect.

“Follow me” he gave out a commanding statement. I froze, I was not his puppet for him to tell where to go or where not to go, what was his deal? He halted when he noticed I wasn't behind him.

“ what are you doing, this way”.

Unable to resist my overwhelming curiosity, I couldn't help but trail after him as he gracefully unlocked the door, and walked in, my feet led me into his bedroom, meticulously crafted with an artistic touch. A cascaded curious glance swept the room, scanning for his presence until my eyes laid on him, he stood tall and shirtless as he poured himself a glass of whisky, his shirt sprawled on the huge bed, he oozed an undeniable attraction that undeniably beckoned me in.

“Care for a drink,” he asks as he slowly walks toward me, he is close now, and I stare at his tattooed bare body

“No thanks, am fine” I politely declined, feeling satisfied with my current state. The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly stifling and uncomfortable. I took off my leather jacket casually tossing it onto a nearby couch. As our gazes locked, his piercing frosty eyes levied me. With panic bubbling inside, I desperately wish for some sort of intervention.

Intrigued, his hand ventured towards my neckline, gently caressing my skin. Drawing closer, his seductive hazelnut eyes intensified, fixated on my lips. Succumbing to his desires, he passionately pressed his mouth against mine, causing me to uncontrollably moan in satisfaction. Simultaneously his hands found their way to my thigh, effortlessly lifting me and placing me on the table nearby.

His fingers swiftly slid beneath my red-laced panty, creating a space for him to play with my intimate area. The unexpected sensation overwhelmed me as he slyly thrust his finger inside, instigating a gasp to escape my lip. A wicked grin plastered across his face, his gaze fixated on mine

My fingers dug into his bare skin as he hit a particularly sensitive spot, pushing me closer to the edge. The intensity became unbearable; he was driving me to the brink of orgasm, without hesitation, he swiftly unzipped his pants, but then paused, gripping my hand tightly. I stared at him intently, enthralled by his cold yet suddenly luminous eyes with a soft and delicate whisper, he continued….

“I want you to beg for it love” My world stopped as a devilish grin appeared on his lip, with a hot sensation erupting inside of me, my breath quickened.

“ Fuck me please”.

I received my first car on my 16th birthday, but after driving it twice recklessly, I nearly caused a fatal accident."How dare they??" I shouted aggressively marching the speed brake as the rain started pouring down.I rang the doorbell with aggression. Exhausted and wet, I checked my phone was 10:00. Was he not home, or was he also purposefully ignoring me? Determined, I was about to ring the doorbell one last time when the door swung open."Hey," a smile appeared on my face as he stared at me in disbelief. "Can I come in?" I ask politely as he lets me in."Are you okay? what happened?" he asked, his eyes filled with genuine concern as I hugged him tightly.

    (Memories)As I stepped into my unlocked dorm room, my exhausted eyes fell upon Penelope, who was completely engrossed in her artwork "I thought you were taking a break from painting," I asked, taken aback by her seriousness. She was usually the life of the party, so seeing her so focused was a bit strange "I was, but Tate called. She said she had an opening for my art and mentioned that new investors were in town" Penelope explained, briefly glancing at me. "What happened? You look awful." "I had a terrible day" I sighed, dropping down onto my bed. I checked my phone and realized it was already 11:30 pm. Exhaustion washed over me, reminding me of the long day I had ahead of tomorrow "I might need to borrow you for the whole day tomorrow" Penelope announced, her voice carrying a sense of urgency "The whole day" I asked. Both curious and hesitant. "Yeah" she responded , continuing to paint as she spoke. "I need to check out the art gallery venue. I want to find a perfect spot". "

It had been an hour since I arrived, and at first, she ignored me but later asked me to wait. So there I sat, admiring the structures and decor of the main office.“Maybe you could try calling him again, I have been waiting for hours,” I said, my voice getting irritated “You can't yell at me Miss, or I might have to call security, go back, sit down, and wait,” the hot brunette sitting at the receptionist's desk replied, her eyes glaring at me, before returning to her laptop.“Excuse me Lady but I never yelled at you,” I said, feeling my anger rise, she was pushing my patience to its limits. “I don't know or care, if this is how you treat other visitors, but am not one of them” I warned, my voice dead serious.She stared at me surprised, her gaze unmoving.“ when your boss comes back, tell him Gemini Victoria Saint stopped by” I added, noticing the surprise on her face“

I couldn't hide the disappointment in my voice, a tinge of frustration seeping in. Tracy's smile faltered slightly, sensing my disappointment."Calm down G, you are yelling" Penelope's voice sooth in, trying to calm my enveloping anger "You don't get it, Penelope, that painting had my mom's initials, it was probably stolen and auctioned here, I bet Grandma doesn't have a clue of such a transaction, seeing she has been busy a lot" I chipped in."I'm sorry Victoria, I had no idea, and am currently not in charge of handling this stuff, I was asked by your grandma to organize the auction for some of the artwork in the house and I didn't pay attention to all the artwork that was brought in.

I watched her in horror, knowing that she was pretending, but her acting skills were so good that it only fueled my hatred for her even more."You should stay for dinner, my love," she continued, her words laced with cruel intentions. "It looks like you haven't been eating well. You appear so pale.""Well, when you have a thief in your midst, it's bound to happen, I suppose," I replied, my voice filled with anger. "Stealing artifacts seems to be her expertise, along with stealing my happiness."Before I could deliver a final blow to her verbally, a familiar voice interrupted me. It was Gustavo, standing behind me now, his gaze fixed on me. I couldn't believe what he was doing. Who gave him the right to interrupt me? I forced a smile and walked away, heading towards the front door."Gemini!" Gustavo called after me, catching my hands to stop me. His eyes scanned the surroundings to ensure we were alone.

The meeting seemed to drag on forever, and I could feel the piercing stares of my dad and Gustavo directed at me. Were they looking at me?"Has Simon reached out to you, Gustavo?" my dad inquired with curiosity evident in his tone. Gustavo, seemingly calm despite their previous altercation at Simon's father's birthday party, responded, "No, sir.""I'm not paying all of you to simply say no. Figure it out, we need Simon here. He's a valuable asset that we can't afford to lose," my dad sternly addressed the room. "We need him before the next scheduled meeting. This meeting is adjourned.""Mary, is he inside?"

She smiled softly, her gaze drifting over the beautifully arranged table. She always knew Simon could be a bit over the top, but this? This was something out of a movie. Vita tugged gently at Gemini’s hand, pulling her attention to the three-year-old standing beside her with wide, excited eyes. “Daddy’s here,” Vita said happily. That’s right—she had been fast asleep when Simon arrived last night. “Yes, sweetheart,” Gemini replied with a giggle, brushing a curl from Vita’s forehead. “Daddy’s here, and he’s doing the usual Simon Sinclair thing.” “I’m officially jealous,” Penelope chimed in, nudging Gemini’s shoulder playfully, making her laugh. “A romantic breakfast in the city

By the time the clean-up crew arrived, she was already handing the keys to them with strict instructions to finish by the morning.Penelope and Benson had watched her with matching expressions of concern. Benson, being Benson, had tried to keep the mood light. “You know, Gem,” he said as they walked into the lobby of the luxurious hotel she had booked at the last minute. “For someone who claims to want a quiet life, your life is pure telenovela material.” Gemini forced a smile as she handed her credit card to the receptionist. “I’d say it’s more of a psychological thriller at this point.” Penelope crossed her arms. “Gem, are you okay? You barely said a word in the cab.” “I’m fine,” Gemini lied, forcing another fake smile.”Benson squinted. “That was the fakest smile I’ve ever seen.” She g

The city of love, croissants, and my future sugar daddy.” Penelope rolled her eyes. “We’ve been here for five minutes.” “I like to manifest.” Gemini chuckled but quickly turned serious as she pulled out the letter again, her eyes scanning the familiar handwriting.It had to be her mother’s. And there was only one place that could hold the answers she needed—her mother’s house in Paris.A sleek black car was already waiting for them, arranged by Simon, of course.“Tell me, Gem, how rich are you now?” Benson teased as he slid into the back

Simon needed to be dealt with—soon.As I stepped into the hospital hallway, my sharp gaze swept over the doctors and nurses bustling past me. I exhaled, rolling my shoulders before stopping in front of Tiara’s room. Just as I reached for the door handle, a nurse appeared, blocking my way. “Excuse me, sir,” she said, adjusting the noteboard in her arms. “May I ask who you are?” I turned to her, flashing my most charming smile. The blush that crept up her neck told me it worked. “A close friend of the patient,” I said smoothly. She hesitated, biting her lip. “That’s nice, but I’m afraid she’s not accepting visitors—strict orders from her mother.” Ciara. That insufferable woman.

    ~MORNING DESIRE~Gemini sat quietly in the garden, her gaze locked on the mysterious key resting in her palm. She studied it intently, as if willing it to reveal its secrets. A deep, familiar voice broke her thoughts. “If you stare at it any longer, it might explode,” Simon teased from behind her, his arms wrapped securely around her shoulders. A small smile played on Gemini’s lips as she reached up, gently caressing his hand. She tilted her head slightly, an unspoken invitation. Simon understood immediately, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to her lips before pulling back. “Aren’t you busy today?” she asked, her voice light but curious. Simon smirked and moved to sit beside her. He was supposed to be in the office, but his plans had shifted after receiving a call from Lilac Sheinkaih.She had requested a meeting today—one he wasn’t about to miss.

Her daughter had barely spoken since she was admitted, the weight of her loss pressing down on her like a suffocating fog.“Tiara, sweetheart,” Ciara murmured, her voice soft, almost pleading. “Won’t you say something to Mommy?”She reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Tiara’s ear, but the girl didn’t react. She simply sat there—silent, hollow, a ghost of herself.Tiara was wasting away before her eyes, refusing to eat, refusing to acknowledge the world around her. And yet, Ciara couldn’t bring herself to grieve for the baby her daughter had lost.Not when she believed it was for the best.Sighing, she laced her fingers with Tiara’s. “I know this is hard,” she said, her voice carrying that practiced gentleness, the kind that hid the sharp edge of her true thoughts. “But as much as I hate to see you like this, I think… in some ways, it was for the best.”
