Mavin

"Who the fuck was that lady?" I stared at Sir Adam angrily.

The last thing I remembered was that I sent him to get a glass of water for me, as I was busy going through my Grandfather's decision.

Grandpa wanted me to marry by force, and I didn't want to.

I was the only son and child of my parents, and although my dad didn't marry my mom, he later married when I was young. With my mom being a stripper and club addict, Grandpa had to raise me all alone.

I hated women with a passion, and I couldn't believe that my own mother was so consumed by the world's lust and pleasures that she would turn a blind eye to me and abandon me when I needed her the most.

I was 35 years old now, and Grandpa wouldn't stop reminding me that I was getting old.

"Mavin, you need to get married to have a successor," Grandpa kept reminding me, as I was his only grandson.

Grandpa had other grandchildren from his daughters, but he never treated them like grandsons when they visited, as he said, "They all bear their father's surname and not mine."

"You need to give me a great-grandson, Mavin, before I pass away," Grandpa kept reminding me every day like a national anthem. This time, I was enraged, as that water wasn't ordinary.

I felt as hard as a rock, and I needed a woman badly.

I was burning hot, and the pain I felt in my member was immeasurable; it hurt like it was going to explode.

"Adam! I will ask you for the last time before I involve the police... What did you do to me, and who was that lady I saw on my bed this morning?"

I didn't want to believe that I had slept with that pretty lady.

The way she stared at me in surprise with her big round blue eyes was shocking.

I hadn't seen a lady with big eyes before, and it looked so pretty on her, as she blinked like a doll and stared at me like a dummy.

Her skin looked soft and pampered, and I knew from the moment I saw her that she was a rich man's daughter, and her innocence was so visible on her face.

As much as I hated women around me, it didn't mean I didn't tolerate them.

I hadn't slept with a woman before, and only employed middle-aged women, but what happened between me and that lady the previous night, I couldn't remember as my head still hurt, and my memory was vague.

"Tell me for the last time, what did you do, Adam!" I was angry, feeling the urge to grab Adam and hit him for daring to drug me. He apologized, "I'm sorry, boss. The Grandmaster ordered me to do it."

"To do what?" I asked as I stood in my sitting room and glared at him.

Next, my sitting room door pushed open gently, and my grandpa walked in.

"Son, what's going on?"

"Good morning, Grandpa," I greeted him, tying only a white towel around my waist. He glanced from Adam to me and smiled.

"You can leave us, Adam," Grandpa spoke, but I quickly intervened, "No, Grandpa, I haven't asked him to leave."

"What's the matter, Mavin, and who... was that lady I saw leaving earlier?"

My fists clenched as I heard Grandpa's question.

"I don't know her, the same reason I asked Adam to wait," I replied, and I noticed Grandpa looking at Adam as if he didn't know what he had planned with my butler.

"Alright. Hurry up, Mavin, as I would like you to accompany me to the hospital today," Grandpa reminded me of his treatment, and I groaned, "Okay."

I watched Grandpa turn and finally exit my room, while my eyes shifted to Adam.

"Can you start speaking now, or I won't hesitate to fire you this minute? Who's that lady, and where did you bring her from?" I asked Adam, wanting to know more about the lady I had slept with.

I knew that I shouldn't be concerned about her, but I still wanted to know where Adam found such a pretty, big-eyed, innocent-looking lady.

"I met her at the hotel," Adam replied, and I asked, "Which hotel?"

"The LX Hotel, boss."

I frowned, knowing my grandfather had practically seized all the company, and he couldn't seize my company too, unless I agreed to get married or gave him a child, at least, even though I wasn't married.

I wasn't against having children, but finding a good woman to look after my kids was a problem, as all my past relationships had crashed and barely lasted a week.

"What's her name, and which family is she from? I need you to find out more information about her and do your research to know where exactly she is from," I ordered, and then turned to walk back into my room.

"Alright, boss," Adam turned to leave, and I stopped him, saying, "Wait. You haven't told me her name yet. Did you pay her at all?"

The last thing I never wanted was for any lady to accuse me of rape. And although I didn't want to admit that I had slept with that pretty lady.

The way she looked red, and how her body was covered with red marks and hickeys all over her almost yellow-white skin, since she was very yellow and soft.

It was clear that I had slept with her, and just the thought made my muscles tense.

"She said her name is Thelma, boss."

"Thelma who? How could you bring in a lady here without checking her complete identity? Where is the bank account info for the payment transfer to her account?" I asked, as I knew most of the rich families resided in City B. It was either she was a rich man's daughter, or she was related to a rich man, as I didn't want to think of her as a prostitute.

"Boss, I haven't transferred her payment yet, as she ran away before I could get to her, and Grandpa already instructed Thompson to escort her out," Adam explained.

"Hmm, leave." I walked back into my bedroom, slamming the door on Adam as I wanted to take a bath and get ready to take Grandpa Charlie to the hospital. As I looked at my white and neat bedspread...

My eyes fell on the red bloodstains on the bed, and I exclaimed, "Shit! What's that?"

I rushed to the mattress, picked it up, and my blood boiled as I knew exactly what it meant.

I had to gain access to the LX Hotel to find out what Thelma did there and who she was exactly.

"But why do I care about her? It was just one night, and I don't need to see or speak to her again."

I tossed the bedspread on the floor and walked into the bathroom to take a bath, as the sun was already out, burning in the sky.
