CHAPTER 1

The black dazzling Royce rolls slowly pulled over at the entrance of the glassy gigantic office building. Just as the Royce rolls came to a halt, girls and boys made head turns towards the car as their eyes glistened while they instantly drooled in anticipation of the Greek god figure behind the tinted car window. 

Mr. Ricardo Cullen the young filthy rich CEO of the prestige Dream construction company leisurely came out from the car. Different cute comments spilled out from the onlookers as He made his way to the office building entrance while the hefty bouncers strode before and behind him securing him from harm and sticky crazy die-hard fans.

Mr. CEO languidly walked through the hallway, his face was expressionless and cold. But that didn't hinder how stunning he looked in his sky-blue-colored suit which complimented his pale skin and ocean-blue eyes. His inner white gleaming shirt was slightly unbuttoned divulging his broad sturdy chest; He is not a tie guy. 

His perfectly styled chestnut hair revealed his glimmering forehead, and his chiseled muscular jawline gave him perfect carved eyebrows. Just like his handsome face, His slightly muscular Greek figure coupled with his height gave him a handsome body. In one word he is a beauty. 

Ricardo was every girl's dream guy. His irresistible looks and filthy wealth made him a demi-God both in the country and beyond but unfortunately the all-mighty CEO is a playboy. Ricardo doesn't believe in love since his wretched relationship with his Ex lover ended. He believed love is just a weakness and he doesn't want to look weak before anyone and because of that he f**ks just the way he wants and has little or no patience for anything under the skirt. 

Ricardo entered his personal elevator while the bouncers left his side in the corridor earlier. He brought out his slender fingers from his trousers as he pressed the 12th button on the elevator. A few minutes later he arrived at his office which happened to be on the twelfth floor. The office was more exquisite compared to other open offices on the other floor. One could view the busy city just from his office. He groaned as he made his way to his chair. He wasn't in his work mode today and he was really exhausted from last night club activities. 

"Maybe I should call one of my bitches to come over" He muttered and a smirk appeared on his face as he picked up his phone and was about to dial a number when a call came instead. He stared at the ID and his smirk widened.

"Hello, buddy". A drowsy voice came from the other end of the call.

"Alex," Ricardo said.

"You sound like you've been f**king the whole night". Ricardo added and they both laughed.

Alex is Ricardo's best friend and also his company lawyer. just like Ricardo, he has no patience for anything under the skirt and he is worse compared to Ricardo because he f**ks both girls and boys, And they are both strippers freaks.

"I wished I had." Alex grumbled. 

"Seems there were fewer bitches at the club last night, and it was fuckin boring until we meant that crazy bitch" Alex complained and Ricardo chuckled.

"Yeah, she got a nice ass and boobs but she was so foolish to reject my offer".  

Ricardo's countenance suddenly became sour as he remembered last night's encounter with a girl who rejected his offer of a million dollars just to have sex with her for a night. 

He could clearly remember her words in his head.

"Go fuck your million dollars jerk" She had said to him. 

Tsk, she is so dumb for rejecting me because no one has ever rejected Ricardo Cullen. He thought.

"Cardo? Hello?". Alex repeatedly called out to Ricardo who was busy in his own thoughts.

"Yeah?

"Are you still thinking about the bun butt lady from last night? Alex teased and Ricardo sighed.

"C'mon dude let the bitch off your mind, she will never see such a golden opportunity in her life again". Alex said and Ricardo giggled.

"You're right dude," Ricardo muttered.

"FYI, I'm not coming to work today," Alex said.

"Why? Ricardo asked, raising a brow. 

He was a bit relieved when he thought Alex would be coming to the office soon. Alex was like his work mode booster because they could gist about stuff till the day comes to an end and his workload will be cleared off his desk with ease. 

"I got an appointment with my gay partner, remember? 

Ricardo groaned. "Can't you forget about sex for a while? Ricardo teased. 

"Hey, hey, look who is giving me lectures? A sex freak pro" Alex teased back.

"F**k you" 

"Whatever dude, bye" Alex ended the call and Ricardo shook his head, Alex is way worse compared to him. 

Ricardo's eyes darted to the pile of documents heaped on his desk. His office work was constantly giving him an unbearable headache and that's why he had made an opening for a secretary position, and that reminds him, the lady's resume he had picked for the secretary position is supposed to be interviewed by him today. He picked up the wire cell phone on his desk and dialed the receptionist's digits.

"Good morning Mr. CEO" The Sweet voice resounded in the call. Ricardo immediately felt nauseous.

She is so fake! He thought.

"The resume I picked." 

"Oh! She is not here yet, Mr. CEO".

"Not here yet? Ricardo scoffed.

"Yes sir" 

"Fine" Ricardo shortly said and hung up. He leaned back on his chair while picking up his phone.

The call rang out.

"Come over!" He cut short the other voice in the call. 

****

The blue-colored alarm which sat on top of a short wardrobe besides a little pink fluffy bed rang out while Ella instinctively brought her pillow close to her ears. She immediately sat up and pulled off her sleep mask. A knock ensued from her door and she frowned.

"Ella? She heard her younger brother call out from the hallway. Shortly after she walked to the door and gave a question mark face to her brother. 

"You're still in your pajamas? Liam asked in shock while scrutinizing her sister's clothes.

"Yeah."

"It's almost 8 o'clock Sis!" Liam half yelled to Ella who just got her sense back as she ran back to her room to get a shower. Liam smirked and walked back to the sitting room.

"Liam son, have warned you several times to stop yelling at your sister, she is way older than you" Mr. Devon scolded while devouring the plate of hot noodles.

"Papa, it's not my fault, that daughter of yours is so indolent. She got an interview for a job and she is still sleeping at this time, who does that? Liam explained while dishing the noodles on his plate.

"Ouch! Liam squirmed when his mother held his ear from behind.

"Still, you shouldn't shout at my baby girl" Mrs. Devon scolded and let go of Liam's ear.

"But I'm your baby boy Mom" Liam pouted feigning a pained facial expression.

"There you go, you will always be my baby boy" Mrs. Devon declared and they all laughed.

"Am I missing some special moment? Ella who just walked in fully dressed in a well ironed white sleeve and a pair of black skirts which stick to her curves like boiled okra revealing her round comely ass while her heels did justice to her height.

"A lot" Liam replied and Mrs. Devon playfully glared at him.

"Come have breakfast dear," Mrs. Devon said.

"I'm already late for my interview Mom," Ella said and walked over to her parents giving them a warm cozy hug and with that, she scurried out of the apartment and caught a cab just in time.

"Dream construction company," She said to the driver and stole a glance at her wristwatch. She groaned. It was quarter past eight. She was brutally late. 

"Sleep head," She said and leaned back on the seat.

"My day is all a mess because of yesterday's clubbing". She hissed.

Fifteen minutes later she arrived at the mighty office building, Ella quickly made her way through the entrance, arriving at the receptionist's open office. She forced a smile on her tired face.

"Good morning ma'am" Ella greeted the receptionist who was probably her age mate. She needs to be professional.

"You're late Miss Devon" She coldly replied while seizing her figure for some time.

What's wrong with this bitch? Ella inwardly yelled.

"The boss's office is on the twelfth floor. Good luck" She smirked, giving Ella an unsettling feeling.

Ella hurriedly made her way to the boss's office while her heels made a clicking sound in the hallway, capturing the attention of some employees who ogled at her curves while others frowned at her noisy steps. Ella finally entered the elevator. She has never been this nervous in her life, she pressed her sweaty fingers together and muttered some words.

On arrival at the office, Ella's eyes darted around the transparent glassy office. She admired the office structure while her eyes caught a figure sitting in the office. His head was slightly bent as he was typing on his laptop.

"That must be the Boss" She muttered and exhaled before walking in.

"Good morning sir" Ella's voice came up disrupting his attention. Ricardo averted his eyes from the screen and his blue eyes widened at the sight of Ella. 

 Ella loudly gasped when she saw Ricardo.
