Laura's POV I looked at the person who had startled me. It was Nicholas, standing in front of my door, blocking my path. My plan had been to take my luggage downstairs and then ask him to have one of his drivers take me to Sonia's place. However, seeing him standing there before I could execute my plan was not what I had expected at all. I swallowed hard before speaking. "I am leaving. I wanted to come and tell you," I said. "Leaving to where exactly?" he asked, concern etching his face. Why did he want to know? Did he suddenly care about me again after having sex with me? Oh, men! "To Sonia's apartment, where I will be staying for a while," I replied. "I see," he said. "Is that what you really want, though?" he asked. Where was all this coming from? I was utterly confused. What did he mean by "is that what you really want?" "Pardon?" I asked, wanting him to repeat what he had just said. "Well, I remember you clearly telling me last night that you didn't have anywhere to go an
Laura's POV Why was Nicholas deserving of such profound gratitude? It couldn't just be the act of offering him employment and shelter. That alone wouldn't be enough reason for someone to claim they owe their life to him. Besides, this place felt more like a prison than a comfortable abode. Living here for an extended period couldn't be anyone's idea of a blissful life. Perhaps Nicholas had saved him from committing suicide? Yes, that could be it, I speculated. As if reading my mind, Gabriel chimed in, "Mr. Nicholas actually avenged the man who killed Samuel's family," he smiled. Ah, that must be the butler's name—Samuel. Thankfully, Gabriel clarified before I had to ask, avoiding any potential embarrassment of not knowing his name despite staying with him for over a month. Only an arrogant boss would commit such a blunder, but I wasn't even his boss. "So the fire incident wasn't an accident after all?" I inquired, feeling perplexed. "No, ma'am, it wasn't," Samuel replied, his voic
Laura's POV "What other reason could there be?" I asked. He didn't say anything. What other reason was he expecting? Wait, was he expecting me to say I was traveling with him because I wanted to be around him and couldn't bear the thought of staying far apart? Or maybe that I loved him so much and wanted to be wherever he was? If that was what he wanted to hear, then he needed to think again. I looked outside the window, at the surrounding bushes we passed. The environment was so serene and calm. A few moments later, we arrived at the airport. "Did you already book our flights?" I asked Nicholas. I had completely forgotten that flights needed to be booked for our journey to Italy. I would imagine someone like him would want to get first-class tickets. He wouldn't want to stay in economy class or even business class. I smiled at the thought. He was actually very influential, powerful, and wealthy. So it was a no-brainer. He looked at me, a surprised look on his face. "Uhhhm, why wou
Nicholas' POV I looked back at her with desire-filled eyes. She held the curtains in her hands and looked down in shock at the sight before her. I didn't care; I couldn't afford to care at that point. Her presence had not changed anything for me; I was still engrossed in the act. Frustrated, she stormed out of the scene. I eventually released into the flight attendant's mouth, and she seemed to enjoy it. She wiped her mouth and stood up while I went to the bathroom to clean up. I always made sure she got paid handsomely and was well taken care of. Thoughts of Laura suddenly flooded my mind. Why did she come in when she did? Why did she have to see me in the act? I thought furiously and returned to my seat. Laura's POV I heard moans coming from the back. "No, it can't be!" I thought. Nicholas can't be having sex on board. Was he pleasuring himself? He is the only one capable of moaning like that here. Any other person would probably get thrown out of the moving jet for doing that w
Laura's POV He motioned for me to walk before him. I didn't want to obey him, but I didn't want to start an argument, so I just did as I was told. I got down from the jet and looked around; we were at an airport. I saw a convoy of three cars with a black limousine in the middle. Bodyguards surrounded the cars. I didn't need to be told; they were all Nicholas' men. They were there to take their boss home. I did a head count of the men, and there were about twelve of them. They greeted Nicholas as we got close and opened the door. Nicholas let me go in before him, and when he got in, the car was shut. He glanced over at me, and I held his gaze for a few seconds before looking away. I went farther away from him to the other side of the car and looked out the window. He pulled me back close to him slowly. I didn't resist, but I didn't look at him either. "What's wrong, Laura?" he asked with a concerned voice. Typical of him to ask me what was wrong when he knew the exact answer to that
Laura's POVI glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Sonia, my best friend. It brought a smile to my face as I hadn't spoken to her since yesterday when I told her I would be staying at her apartment in London. She had given me all the necessary information to make my stay comfortable. I picked up the phone, settled myself comfortably on the bed, and answered."Hello, babes, how are you?" I asked."I'm fine, babe. I was just checking to see if you've settled into my apartment already," she said. I could hear her mother's voice in the background, probably nagging her about something. I recalled my own relationship with my mum and how it could be similarly amusing. Sonia mumbled something to her mum and moved away until her mum's voice was no longer audible."Is your mum giving you a hard time?" I inquired."Oh, in so many different ways I can't even start explaining right now, babe," she replied with a hint of annoyance. "Isn't she supposed to be helping me get over the death of my bo
I already had a good guess as to who it would be. Who else but the boss of the house himself? I opened the door and to my surprise, he wasn't the one. A tall, slender, beautiful lady stood before me."Hi, Madam. Mr. Nicholas asked me to check on you," she said."Oh really? Where is he?" I asked."He is downstairs, ma'am, waiting for you," she replied with a smile. Judging from her clothes, I could tell she was one of the housekeepers. She looked so beautiful it made me jealous. Nicholas obviously did this on purpose, hiring these beautiful girls to come work in his mansion."Okay, tell him I'll be with him in a minute." She nodded and left. As soon as I shut the door, I went straight to the beautifully furnished cushion in my room and sat down. I had wanted to go downstairs before the housekeeper came, but now I would wait for an extra ten minutes before going down. I didn't want Nicholas thinking I came as soon as he called. Petty, right? Yeah, but I don't mind.After I was sure ten
Laura's POV: "I think you misunderstood me even before I had been given the chance, Laura," he said calmly. "I thought you…" "Well, you thought wrong," he interjected firmly. "How would you even think I would refuse Sonia, your friend, from coming over?" He scoffed and said, "It appears that after the weeks we have spent together, you still know nothing about me." He threw his hands in the air in disbelief. I wondered why he was making a fuss all because of a statement I made. I didn't know anything about him? Is he kidding me right now? Of course, I know a lot of things about him, especially how he loved fucking different women without giving a hoot what any of them thinks. I also happen to know how risky his world is. The world of the mafians, filled with wars and blood spillage. One could literally be alive today and dead tomorrow in his world. Human life is not regarded at all. The taking of too many hard drugs has hardened their minds, making them see humans as animals. I re
