I asked Pete to open the door for Anita and Mae when we saw them both through the cameras. The maid came in first and had me displeased because I wanted to see Mae and not her. When Mae walked in slowly behind her, I smiled. She was in a short, pretty dress and she had her eyes scanning my chamber."Step under the light," I wanted to see how the dress was on her with more light. She took a few steps forward and stopped under the bright light next to her. I could now see her well."Perfect," I found myself muttering. I was pleased by the way the dress hugged her body and although it wasn't as exposing as I would have preferred it to be, she looked sexy in it. It made me remember the first time she tried to kill me by posing as the whore brought to spend the night with me. Fuck, I remember she was sexy as hell that day. Anita didn't fix her hair but it was okay the way she(Mae) had it packed. It was held up in a rough bun with some strands falling over her forehead."You can leave now,
"Come sit," Leo smiled at me when he spoke and I knew I couldn't trust that snide smile of his. I would honestly rather stand under the light than go sit with him. I walked to him slowly after remembering his mood early this morning. I rather have him smiling than angry at me. I got to him and he patted the closest empty space for me to join him on the sofa. I couldn't sit that close to him. What if he tried anything, I might not have a strong chance to fight back. I walked to the far end of the sofa he sat in before sitting. He smiled when I did that but I couldn't depict his true reaction to it.I was sitting there wondering why I was brought here when he spoke, "Lade is going to arrive here soon, I want you to be as graceful as you can be. He's willing to pay whatever price I'm willing to sell you to him, that's how much he likes you." Sell me?! What does he mean by ‘sell you to him’? He looked my way again so I kept an uncaring face for him to meet so he continued talking."I ju
"I don't know if I can...""You can. You're sexy and you look innocent but you're not, that's Lade's kind of woman; innocent face, risky to deal with." Leo smiled reassuringly like he didn't just almost dislocate my jaw."I might be sexy but I don't know how to seduce a man. I've tried that with you, did it work?" I asked him as I remembered that night when I was in his room alone with him and he was on top of me. "It did, slightly." He shrugged and my eyes widened at him."You don't really know how sexy you are, do you?" He smirked and rubbed his hands on my thighs. It was then I realized his hands were actually on MY THIGHS.I became uncomfortable and tried to adjust the way I sat but he didn't let me. He grabbed my thighs now to let me know that he knew exactly what he was doing and that his hands weren't on my thighs by mistake. My breathing got hitched and it became hard to breathe."Relax," I heard him. Relax? I couldn't relax, his hands were on my fucking thighs, what is he pl
I held my tumbler up to my lips, my eyes following Mae as she went to Lade. She stopped in front of him when she got to him. Lade dropped his glass on the table. He grabbed one of her ass and I caught Mae blinking repeatedly and fast1, maybe trying to stop herself from shoving his hands away. "She's so soft," Lade smiled."You say she's not the reason I'm here?" He asked me but I didn't answer immediately. My eyes were on his hand and where it was, Mae's ass. I knew he would do that when he walked in and saw her, I knew he would want to touch her and I consented to get going over to meet him but then I wasn't very comfortable with his hands on her."Mae," I called her and she gave her attention to me."Come back here, come sit with me." Lade got his hands off her and she walked back to me obediently. She was going to sit back where she stood from but I stopped her."Here Mae, come sit here," I tapped beside where I sat and she came to me. She sat beside me and I could hear her breath
That bastard! That asshole! How dare he? I cursed silently as I walked alone through the empty hallway that had led Anita and me to Leo's chamber earlier.I just wanted to kill Leo and even if I couldn't, I wished someone else did it, I just wanted to see him die. I don't even know who is worse between him and his friend...or enemy...or frenemy, whoever Lade was to him. I just know that I hate these men.I walked up the stairs, feeling ashamed of myself for not being able to stop Leo from grabbing me from behind like he did. I felt disgusted by it. He touched me with the sand-filthy hands he used to make Carlos bleed. Who knows how bloody Lade's hands have been but yet I stood and let him squeeze on my ass on Leo's order. Leo! I hate him, I hate him so fucking much.I just opened the door to my room when I remembered my conversation with Leo earlier and my request for Nina's release from police custody.What if he doesn't consider my request because of how I pushed him away in his cha
"You don't talk to Pete or any other man around here like that, am I clear?" Mae didn't give any form of response so I brought my face to hers."The next time you disrespect Pete, I won't stop him, I'll let him send you to a hospital." Her eyes were red and some tears had formed in her eyes. I heard her sniff before shoving all of her hair back. Her cheek was red and swollen and she wore an angry frown. I smiled immediately. The frown gave her a different form of beauty."Don't let me get to the front door before you," I told her and turned around to leave. Pete followed suit and when we were at the stairs leading down, I saw her hurrying after us.***The car stopped when we got to the warehouse. I saw the container ship in which my goods were in. It was sitting in front of the warehouse.After the door was opened and I had gotten out of the car with Pete and Mae, I went over to the container.I stood with my hands in my pocket and waited as the door was opened manually. The door ope
What the hell?! Eagle didn't even think twice, he just was ready to shoot me immediately as Leo ordered. Did he know he could be dead by now if I decided to be obedient like he was and shoot him?"Sir, do I kill her or do I just shoot her?" I heard him ask Leo for a clearer order with the gun still pointed at me.When I took a glance at Leo through the side of my eyes, his lips were back to being curved upwards. "Kill her." Leo's two words reverberated in my ears as I turned to him with surprise. He was serious with his order. I heard the sharp metallic click of the gun's trigger being pulled and my heart left my body. I closed my eyes to receive the bullet that should have hit me but after some seconds, I felt nothing so I opened my eyes and the first face they met was Leo's.I could hear the man clicking at the gun's trigger repeatedly and I immediately knew the gun had no bullets. Leo was chuckling. I could be angry at what just happened but I chose not to be. Instead, I took in
"Sir," Pete called for his boss's attention."Are you going to let Eagle's partner go? He didn't do much in all of this.""You mean Mike?" Leo asked."He knew that Eagle had been conversing with Carlos and didn't say a word about it."Ohhh. So that's why he had me kill Eagle. Eagle helped Carlos in diverging his goods to Lade."He wasn't present when you came around, what if he knows you are aware of what he and Eagle did?"Leo didn't answer Pete's question this time. He just heaved a sigh and turned to me. I looked away immediately he turned to me.He didn't stop looking at me after that. I had my eyes facing the window but I knew he was staring and it was making me sweat despite the air-conditioning being on in the car.Pete stopped the car we were in when we got to the front of the mansion and I didn't wait for Leo to get down before me. I opened the door to my side and started to hurry towards the stairs."Sir, we just got the news: Mike killed himself before those you sent got to h
