A bare shoulder maroon colored thigh slit dress with matching stilettos and a designer clutch purse of the same color was all Diana needed to look glamorous. The outfit hugged her petite body. Her shoulder length hair was oiled and slicked back that it almost shined out.Before putting on her dress, Diana and Maria had gone to a mini restaurant to fill their stomachs with burgers and some drinks."You don't want to go to a night party starved out of your mind," Maria had advised has she took a bite."It's not a party, it's a business dinner or fundraiser," Diana corrected.Maria waved her hand and smirked.Both of them had taken their time to eat their food because there were still hours to go before the event.By six thirty, a limousine pulled over in front of Maria's condo. Diana's phone rang out and she answered. It was her boss."There is a vehicle waiting for you Diana. Whenever you are ready," Nick informed her.Maria saw the surprised look on Diana's face and grew concerned."W

Priscilla was already tired of standing and she also needed a drink. She politely smiled at Nicholas' compliment and silently wondered what attracted him to Diana."Might we go somewhere more private and comfortable?" Priscilla offered. Since it was a museum, there were no external objects allowed like tables and chairs. However, there were custom made white sitting benches bolted to the ground in front of some paintings and artifacts.Diana wanted to decline but she knew part of her attendance required her to be open to discussions in order to acquire potential clients for the company. Although she did not think Priscilla would be an ideal client to work with."Please. Lead the way," Nick politely responded. Priscilla covertly rolled her eyes, she could not feel the sincerity of his politeness. Others may be gullible enough to fall for his charm, but she wasn't.Priscilla led them to a secluded part of the museum where people weren't much. She believed it was time to make her move, D

TACTICS & STRATEGIESPriscilla sat in her silver dress, perched on the edge of the leather chair gazing at her prey, Matteo. She had heard about him from her friend's, back in the university who had described him as an irresistible man who had a weakness for beautiful women. Priscilla was confident that she could easily manipulate him, and her mind was already swirling with the possibilities.She crossed her legs and tilted her head to the side, making sure that her cleavage was visible. She had earlier put her legs on the table giving him a sneak peek. She wasn't wearing any underwear. "If only you knew my little secret," Priscilla cooed playfully. Matteo's eyes were filled with curiosity but he checked himself."Let me guess, I will have to play a game to know this secret. I am done with the games Priscilla," Matteo firmly said. Priscilla giggled, running her fingers through her hair. "I love it when you play stubborn, it makes me tingle all over but I know you Matteo. Your eye

Matteo Armani's childhood took a tragic turn when he was just nine years old. He was in the backseat of his parent's car on a family outing when tragedy struck. The car was involved in a terrible accident, and Matteo's parents were killed instantly. He had survived unscathed because his mother covered his little body with hers before the impact. He had to be entangled in the car for hours with his mother's cold body nearly suffocating him before he was rescued. Matteo lost everything that day. He lost his home, his parents, his childhood, and his innocence. He was left to pick up the pieces of his shattered life on his own. That's is until his Nana came into his life to ease his pain as much as she could. It was a very tedious and difficult transition but as the years passed, Matteo learned to cope with the loss of his parents. He buried his pain deep inside, and he became a playboy billionaire, living a life of excess and indulgence. He used his wealth to numb the pain of his childh

"Let's call it a night, shall we? Besides I will like to know your more about your home," Priscilla said as she broke contact with Matteo."Out of curiosity or necessity?" Matteo asked suspiciously. He may have relinquished himself to her lead but he was still cautious of what she was capable of."Both, and we need to start packing for the family get together, it's sooner than you think," Priscilla responded. She gave him a knowing smile. With Priscilla, Matteo could never be sure if he could fully trust her or not. She was a living mystery. One move in the wrong direction and everything could get ruined. At the same time, the right move could get him everything he wanted. She had that much influence as well as power in her hands. She was a strong woman."I am not looking forward to this," Matteo grumbled as he grudgingly got up from his office couch.He picked up his coat and car keys then linked arms with Priscilla as they exited the office. With the exception of a few cleaning st
