NON-EXISTENT PRIVACY
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
NON-EXISTENT PRIVACYThe loud chime of a phone alarm startled Maria awake. Although her body wished to remain in bed a few hours more, she felt well rested and stretched her body. She had been asleep for over seventeen hours and her whole body felt numb. After Maria had fallen asleep in the presence of Kyros, who put her in bed and later saw himself out, the next time she opened her eyes was around 2am.She was shocked wondering how she made it to her bed, then found a note beside her on the bed. In a nice calligraphy written by Kyros, the note read “You were sleeping so peacefully and didn’t have the heart go disturb you so I saw myself out. Call me when you’re awake and feeling better. XOXO.”She smiled at the message and got out of bed to have a light snack. Maria was hungry and a light snack wasn’t going to satisfy her raging belly, so she settled for Noodles. It was a quick and satisfying meal. A light snack at 2am was a bad idea if she wanted to burn the calories she was always

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
BLUNT TO THE CORE“This was a huge mistake.” Maria thought.She had not hated Reid more than she did at the moment, despite him barging into her house with a horde of strangers. Of all things he could do to make her miserable, he had sent her into the den of lions. Not just any lions, the ones that deemed themselves as royalty. Socialite that were money/power hungry, mostly born with silver spoons.Maria stressed on the fact that she disliked being around too many people. Especially the caliber of people Reid had said they’d be socializing with. She could not deny that the intimidation and social anxiety was the core reason Reid’s face looked delightful to smack.The desire was to make money and not have to interact with many people. The interaction part of the business was Athina’s job. When she left, it fell solely on Maria’s shoulders and she flopped like a flip-flop. Athina would have fit in like a glove as she had gotten familiar with half the people that were going to be pres

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
BLEND IN OR BE BLENDEDMyth fascinated Maria. She spent her teenage years reading and learning about all kinds. The intrigue she held of it was a serious case, as it made her wonder if magic existed.Maria questioned whatever she did not understand. One could even call it an obsession, which she held for myths. It was a phase she soon outgrew and found something else that became her passion and led her to be the woman she was.Given her current situation, magic had to be real. She wouldn’t even question it as long as it came to her rescue. The only thing that could save her was magic. There seemed to be no way out from the deep grave of humiliation she had dug herself in. The only way out was for the ground to open up and swallow her.Or perhaps swallow someone else, thus giving her enough time to dash for the door.How did she not realize it? She asked herself. The painting the British lady had asked her opinion had a cursive signature on the edge. So did the portrait of the billio

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
SECRETSThe golden rule Reid stuck to was to never call or text his father if it was not business related. His father did not seem to have a problem with it. But when he texted Reid to come over to the house, it unnerved him. There was no business related issue to talk about. Unless he had heard wind of his new business venture.Reid actually hoped George would keep his mouth closed longer than a night. He was already expecting a text or call to talk about it. George was aware and in support, which made the chances of his father flipping about keeping it silent was very low.It was impossible to hide it for long. And it meant they’d be a lot of talking. Too much talking that neither and father enjoyed doing. Although sad that conversations about things best left unsaid had to be addressed, eventually. There was no escape.Or maybe he simply wanted to follow up on the threat he made about the marriage debacle and holding his inheritance. Reid had too much to worry about. A squabble wit

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
WSW- WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMENNobody can do it all. Maria was very aware of that fact. The grace it took to get her herself together and step out of her haven to follow Genevieve Pierre to a nearby French restaurant needed to be taught in schools. She had expected something more of an ambush by the lady and her two minions, if she had any.It was a far cry from reality, though. Genevieve did not strike her as a spiteful person, but she realized assuming much of a person she barely knew was not a great idea. It was only going to land her in even deeper waters.Maria had no clue on how to begin her apology. Genevieve had given no room for conversation since they walked out of Maria’s apartment building. As they walked into the grand restaurant, the receptionist recognized Genevieve and greeted her with respect. The receptionist greeted Maria respectfully as well, before leading them to an exclusive table.Maria is impressed by the interior of the restaurant and the service. The exclusive

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
DISCOVERYMaria stared straight ahead with not a single glance to her sides with her hands holding tightly to the steering wheel. Not like this was the first time she was driving, but at that moment, she got the zeal to focus on driving and just getting to Athina's place. The Sunday sun had subsided and now the evening atmosphere was setting in. She could enjoy the breeze that was pushing through into her car. She could have opted for the AC but she wanted to enjoy the free nature instead. A little part of her mind drifted off to Genevieve and their chat. She was more than delighted in her great achievement and having her on her side was more than what she could have asked for.Incessantly, she had thought her remark about her painting was going to do more harm to her than it could have possibly done to Genevieve herself. She was a little too honest and the thought of what could have happened otherwise if she didn't take if all as a stepping stone for her gallery daunted her. A dir

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
THE UPPER HANDReid took a seat beside Maria and gave her a glance before he greeted her. "Hey, Maria," he said in a rather low tone than he had planned to sound. "Hey, Reid," she returned before stuffing her mouth full with her meal. "How was church?" Athina asked him as she served him a plate of the meal and out of curiosity, Maria looked over at him to get his response. She wasn't originally sure what response she wanted to hear or if she was expectant of a particular reply but the fact still remains that she never expected his type to visit the church. "Fine." was his curt reply. What more was she expecting? She thought. Colton cleared his throat before he spoke. "Guess where Maria had been all day?" he asked, his question directed towards Reid. "With Genevieve," he concluded with a little laugh before filling his mouth. Reid looked at her curiously but she wasn't at all ready for a new session of explanation. "What was it you had been discussing with Genevieve?" he aske

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
TWO PEAS IN A PODShe walked into her office and Reid was already in a meeting with her team. Initially, she didn't know what to make of that since there was no reaction within her that she could exhibit. Whether to be angry or to just join in the meeting since Reid was as well her partner.But then, she felt like if they were to work together successfully as partners, he needs to award her that same respect accordingly to at least inform her about the meeting beforehand. Since when her previous manager had done her badly she had become a little sensitive about anything concerning the restaurant. Even though he seems to now be the major owner while she remains the co-owner, she still remains the founder and would love to be in charge to an extent. Reid doesn't see a problem with that as he is as well ready to report anything on the basis to her while she does the same."That will be all for today," he said to the team, discarding them and they gave a slight bow to her on their wa

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
TWO TO TANGOKyros was tired of the stare battle between them as it seems Maria was not ready to make out words to say. "My apologies, Maria." he finally said. "It's fine," she replied, feigning a smile that obviously looked fake. She proceeded to walk away as though she knew not why Kyros was present, ignoring the Lavender bouquet in his hands. As she turned away from him, Kyros held her hand, disrupting her from walking away from him. Maria does not exactly know why she felt upset since they were not in a romantic relationship for her to feel hurt but then, she could not help it. "Don't leave me, Maria," he spoke softly to her like a kid who wants ice cream. "What do you want from me?" she asked calmly as well, not willing to let her emotion painted on her face. Despite her calm tone, his heart sank in its place as she seems not to realize his pure intentions. "I don't want much, Maria. I just want you to look at me a little softer. I promise it was not my intention to stand

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION/Jane Chioma
THE EXTREME REVEALMaria woke up the next morning feeling a little bit out of mood. Probably because of the event that had occurred the previous day or because it was another day for her to get her ass out of bed to work even though she wasn't feeling like it. Today was one of the days where she had countless of thoughts in her head. Thoughts that fight their way in unannounced. She sat up in bed, yawning profusely like a hungry cub. She stretched repeatedly, digging her hands into her messy hair to itch it in a quite frustrated manner. She had no plans of doing anything otherwise than going to work but as she stopped by her dressing mirror, she saw the business card that was given by to her by Genevieve. She needed to visit the art gallery today to make her pick. Her mind did a double check on a few things, one of which was her parents and siblings. She was going to go over to visit them soon. She needed to. They were the main motivation behind all of her hard work and seeing the
