“Nice meeting you, Mrs Hernandez” the ceo of Dior stretched out his hand for a shake but the woman ignored him and placed her limited edition bag on the table before taking her seat. Avanti was boldly designed on the bag and she was here to show class and poise. This was a power of supremacy and power, the art of who was first in the game.“We should get to the point, Nathan can not be here today and we can’t postpone the meeting because of his absence” Mrs Hernandez began to say, “I believe you already know why I wanted to meet you, Mr Delphine?”The old man chuckled lightly as he leaned back on the chair, “I heard the chairwoman of Avanti is rude but i didn’t think i would be experiencing it first hand”“What do you mean?” The old lady raised an eyebrow, “did you have someone do a check on me?”“Why don’t we go to business Mrs Hernandez? For all I know, the ceo of Avanti can not be here today and I will have to deal with you, should I call you the brand face? You all hide him like h
The door pushed open and Bruno entered looking all flustered, Mrs Hernandez who was busy on her laptop turned her attention to him and her forehead creased into a frown when she saw the look on his face.“Why did you barge into my office like that, Bruno?” She asked and Bruno hesitated for a while.“It seems you have not heard the news ma’am?”“What?”Mrs Hernandez picked up the remote and turned on her television, rhe news was still being broadcasted and her eyes darkened when she read through it.“What nonsense?” She bellowed, “why will he go ahead to come on the news when we haven’t even finished discussing this yet?”“The boss already knows ma’am” Bruno added.“What?how and….” Her voice trailed off when she picked up her phone and discovered that Nathan has been calling her for a while now,“Did you get to talk to him?”“Yes ma’am, he was angry but then he decided to change the whole exhibition. He told me to push the date forward, after Dior’s exhibition and we are going with the
It was a sunny Monday morning when Mrs Hernandez sauntered into the office, dressed in a pair of flay white pants and a black button up shirt to match. Her aura and her charisma could not be ignored and her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. It was difficult to believe that the woman standing was already in her fifties and had already given birth to a thirty year old son.Being born into affluence and opulence, she had everything at her disposal and now luxury was something that lived with her family.“Good morning ma’am” , some of the workers greeted but she totally ignored them as her assistant collected her bag and led her into her office.Her coffee was sitting beautifully on the table and Bruno was standing by the side with a document in his hand.“Good morning ma’am” he bowed respectfully and the lady nodded towards him before taking her space on her chair.Louisa turned to her assistant and plastered a smile on her face,“What is my schedule today?”“You have a meeting wi
Audrey went silent, was he indirectly threatening her? The smirk on his lips said a lot but would she dare go against him? The fact that she has seen how bad his anger could get and even….“Look Nathan” she tried to talk but he interrupted her with a wave of his hand.“You once mentioned you love the runway Nessa, did you forget?”A look of reality dawned on her, so Vanessa even told him her dream?“And I asked you several times to walk the runway but you refused all the time, so you know how happy I was when you offered to walk my runway?”“But…”“I have already asked Bruno to send the team here, they will teach you everything you need to know and with that said” he held out his hand and Bunny helped him to stand up, “I will leave you to take your soup” Nathan didn’t bother to wait for her response and made his way out of the room much to her consternation, did he just order her without even giving her a chance?Audrey was stunned, she loved an authoritative man but wasn’t Nathan bei
His hands continued to assault her and all Audrey could do was let out moans at intervals while the book was already lying far away from her.Even if Nathan could not see her, the effect he was having on her was genuine and he could also feel the heat rising in his own body.The fact that she was not even wearing a bra underneath her cloth made it difficult for him to keep his brain in check, “What are…..what are you doing?” Audrey managed to as while suppressing a moan.“What do you think I am doing, princess?” Nathan whispered back, his hot air blowing on her ears, “I can feel the need from your body, princess” Audrey gulped, he was torturing her but she loved the torture, her mind was already blown away and the fact that his hand was still under her dress made it difficult for her to breathe and even think.“You like what I am doing to you right?” Nathan whispered again, how he wished he could see the expression on her face at the moment. He wanted to see how he made her feel.Wi
Louisa angrily dumped the document on the table while her assistant flinched in fear, this woman was always so hot-tempered and it made it almost impossible for one to have a conversation with her.Mrs Hernandez picked up the document again and skimmed through it, her heart was boiling in anger. “Ma’am” her assistant handed her the tablet again, “this is what the boss has sent”Mrs Hernandez glanced over it again and sighed, the fact that her son took over from his father in being ruthless and stubborn.“The boss invited the team all the way to rice island to groom the madam in walking the runway, even Bruno already confirmed it” she added and Louisa felt her heart was going to jump into her mouth.Did Nathan really tell them to come over to rice island? Did he want to get caught? Her heart was already working fast as she gestured for her to leave the room and at that moment, Bruno entered.“Ma’am”“Why didn’t you tell me?” The old lady half yelled, “why didn’t I know that Nathan ask
“Here babe” Nathan stretched out his hand to hand over a bowl of ice cream to her. It was already some minutes to the time and Audrey was getting ready when he came back into her room.“What is that?” She asked while collecting the bowl from him.“Your favorite flavor, I figured you may not be able to eat at the hotel so I got to you this”The moment the scent of the ice cream filtered into her nostrils, Audrey gagged and rushed into the bathroom which left the man speechless.Mint chocolate was Nessa’s favorite but she was suddenly about to throw up?“Are you okay?” Nathan called from where he was standing and that was when the bathroom door opened and she entered the room again.“I don’t like ice cream, Nathan” the words were out of her mouth before she could even say the word.“What?” The crease on his forehead deepened, “you don’t like ice cream babes?”“I…I…..” Audrey’s voice trailed off, she didn’t know what to say at this point. She has always been allergic to ice cream and an
“We are here ma’am” Bunny finally announced and for a moment, Audrey was taken aback by the infrastructure in front of her. This place looked more like heaven and the more she looked, the more bewildered she felt. How could someone come up with such an exceptional design? It was too good to be true and no matter how she looked, she couldn’t drink in all the glory of the hotel.“Nathan owns this too?” She asked and Bunny nodded in a proud way.“The big boss owns everything that is on this island, ma’am. Everything and he designed them himself. The boss is really talented”Hearing him talk about Nathan with so much pride made Audrey smile, she loved the fact that he was so innovative and talented. Not all men had the gift that the good lord bestowed on Nathan Hernandez.“I will wait for you here ma’am”“Sure” Audrey nodded to him and climbed out of the car before making her way to the door.Some group of people were lined up at the door waiting for her and the moment she got to them, th
The door to his office pushed open and she gently sauntered into the room. Xavier, who was busy with a document, immediately turned his attention to her and stood up. He didn’t flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.“Hey, you”“Aren’t you excited to see me?” Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.“You are finally here” Xavier forced himself to say, “i actually thought you might not come back but here you are”“Are you upset?” Bianca couldn’t help but ask him as he came face to face with her, “why…“Why?” Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, “how can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v
Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.“I can see you are all ready to leave?” She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.“Yes aunt” she replied, “fashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to things”“Well” aunt Aurora shrugged, “your flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, child”A small frown appeared on Bianca’s forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.“Of course aunt” she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, “I am all ears”Aunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.“My dear” she began almost immediately, “don’t you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?”The frown on Bianca’s face intensified and s
The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the
Dressed in a pair of blue tailored suit, Nathan pulled his hair into a neat bun before making his way out of the room. It was a weekend and everyone was at home, including audrey. It was already an hour to his flight, he didn’t want to miss it. As much as he wanted to stay with Paige, he knew Esperanza also needed him.So with that at the back of his head, he heaved a sigh before walking up to Paige who looked like she was about to cry.“Are you really leaving?” Even if she was just a child, Paige had come to love Nathan more than anything in the world. She was not aware of her relationship with him yet but despite that, she loved him more than the world,“I thought you said you wanted to stay with me”Nathan gently cupped her tiny hands in his own hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead, he felt like a groom leaving his wife behind at the wedding alter,“I have to leave, princess” he said after a while, “something urgent came up and I have to go okay?”“But can I come with you?” Tea
It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasn’t he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, “it is already so late and you are here?”“Can we talk?” The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, “I can not sleep and I think we should talk”Bianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didn’t want to wake her up.“What exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?” She akdes again, “we have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to you”“We can either talk here in our daughter’s presence or away from her hearin
Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.“What are you saying, Bianca?” He was completely lost for words.“You like me, don’t you?” She asked from the other end, “I think we should get married, what do you think?“Why are you suddenly saying all this, B?” He couldn’t help but ask, “did Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?” She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.“You know what?” Bianca began to talk again, “it was a mistake” not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a
Dressed in a pair of black flay pants and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into her pants, Louisa made her way into the vip room and she was not surprised to see him standing near the window looking as dashing as always.This was the first man she ever fell in love with and even if she knew that nothing was ever going to happen between them again, she was quite aware that Stefan was always ready to do anything for her. Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.“I thought you were not going to come” he said while taking slow steps towards her“And here I am”Louisa answered, “we should get straight to business”After talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o
A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.“Boss” he greeted, “you sent for me”“I have a job for you, Augusto” he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.“I am at your service boss” Augusto answered, “just give the order”“Louisa called,” the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible! How did she even get Stefan’s number again?“You are surprised right?” Stefan inquired, “I can see the look on your face” he puffed smoke out of his mouth again.“I have not heard her name for years now boss” Augusto respo
It was already past seven in the evening when Nathan made his way downstairs from his daughter’s room. After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didn’t want to stay in a house full of women.“Where are you going?” Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, “I cleaned up the guest room for you,” she added.“Thank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on her”“Did you tell Bianca you were leaving?”He shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,“She wouldn’t care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I really appreciate”“I am doing it for my niece and not you, Nathan” she told him and he nodded at her.“I will take my leave now”Aunt Aurora didn’t bother to stop him, she knew he was going through a lot too. It was not easy for him just as it was not easy for Bianca.“Wait” a voice called out to him and he halted, Bianca was coming down from the stairs and s
