Chapter 13Leaving the office, the club was not the place Octavia had wanted to go, but then she had promised them she would go with them so there was no backing down.She walked in to the club, closing her ear in the process as the booming music reached her ears."We're going to dance our way out!" The blonde girl that had gone for her shift yelled.She didn't even know she had followed them to the club."I would prefer taking a seat over there, thank you guys." She mumbled, going to the counter to take a seat."What do you want Milady?" The bartender seem to know her as he quickly took a picture and smiled at her."Uhm, any wine at all." She mumbled, and returned the smile."Hmm, okay then." He nodded, taking out a big bottle and passing some of it's content In to the glass.He handed it to her and she nodded, taking a sip of the drink."It's hard.""You said any of them.""Then you want me to get drunk?" She asked with a arched brow."I'll protect you then." He smirked and she huff
Chapter 14The morning sun was not doing justice at all, as it shone brightly into Octavia's room.She turned her back to the window, preventing blindness due to the brightness of the sun.Her alarm rang and she sighed.Her head was throbbing hard as she scratched her hair, sitting up.Oh, how she hated working morning."Now you're awake," Sofia mumbled, walking into the room with a mug on a tray.Octavia smiled, moving to sit at the edge of the bed."Here," Sofia said, smiling as she handed the mug to her.Octavia took a sip of it and frowned."I thought it was coffee." "Oh..pardon me Milady, when you're done. You can go get your coffee in the kitchen. But this water is filled with ginger to relieve your headache." Sofia said and took a seat on the bed."How the hell did I come back? I can't even remember anything!" Octavia sighed, rubbing her forehead."Calista and I brought you home," Sofia said."Brought me? I was at the club with my department and I.. don't remember." Octavia hi
Chapter 15Bennett Stone had been curious about the stakes and the death.If he'd taken the lead to take out all the cartels in his City at the docks.It would have been easy.He had men and women flocking around him, to take and to give.He did not deal well with charity.He'd give you shit and you'd take it that way or better still get on his black list.At the end of the night, leaving the club where he'd gone to clear his head with his buddies.. he'd come to learn that there was a new cartel in his City.One that he was not aware of.Men could stay...fuck around and do whattheye deem fit.But he didn't accept rape, and drug trafficking.He wanted his City to be sane and not mad.He'd taken the job as the capo to make sure it was cleaned and for the past few years he'd stayed on top, and the city had been cleansed.He would not sit and watch men come and scatter his rules.Staring at the ceiling, he watched the lady in red walk closer.He didn't like people who walked their way out
Chapter 16Octavia slumped down on her chair, pulling her desk close to herself.She was so tired with the first shoot and now the second one would be held a month from now.She didn't even know what to think anymore.Earlier that time she had seen that man engulfed in the arms of another woman.He looked aloof, but still calm?Did that woman make him so calm? He was always yelling whenever he saw her."Miss Octavia."She frowned."What?" She glared and instantly melted when the woman's face turned sour."I'm so sorry, that's what happens when you have so many shoot to take care off. Pardon me." She said with a sweet smile and they woman nodded."What is it?""It's Mr Stone Ma'am, he wants you in his office right now." She nodded, standing up as she began to arrang her dress and stop Midway.Why was she arranging her dress? Was she trying to look good for him? He didn't deserve her.People like him were people who were suppose to be nothing to him.She grabbed her cell phone and wal
Chapter 17She was really seeing things right?Christian Berth was In front of her, no he actually recognized her."Christian Berth?" She called again and he smiled."Long time no see." He stood up from his table and came to hers.Her jaw dropped. He was looking as handsome as ever."You...the news said, you were in Nicaragua." She said, and he smiled."I was though but I just came back. That place was tough."That was a lie. Was it though? He was looking so Handsome!Was it that tough or he was just joking? She couldn't point out, but he was looking so sexy and hot as if he hadn't just..."What about you? I've been asking around but no one knows your schedule these days.""Uhmm, I am currently shooting for Stone Corporation. Their wallpaper and some other things." She said, her mind drifting to Bennett.That jerk!"Ohh..the great Stone Corporation. Heard the guy's tough. How do you handle such a person?" "He's tough but depends on how you do things. But we're going along.' She answe
Chapter 18A week later and Octavia was back in her company.Sofia had gone to Texas cause of some duel she had with Calista but Octavia knew better.She was after her only crush."Good day to you too." She smiled at the man in front of her and gestured towards the chair for him to sit."I called.""I saw it." She shrugged, dropping her leg on the table."This isn't professional." His lips curled up and she rolled her eyes."It's my office Williams, and I do unprofessional things here. It's best if you see it that way." She shrugged, picking a file and glancing through it."You said you would think about it and talk it out with the board." He mumbled, standing up and walking to the glass."I did think about it, and I'm still thinking about it. Don't worry." She. chuckled.Few days ago, she didn't know how she had become close to this guy.He was funny although cold just like that jerk!"You have to make this stand or else there's no deal." He said and she scoffed."I'm suppose to be t
Chapter 19Octavia shifted on her foot.Why was the atmosphere turning bad.She bit her lips, moving back. This was bad.A hand went to her waist just as she was about to fall."Ha! Thank you so much William." She mumbled, and shook her head.That was on stupid move."Mr Wayne." William stretched out his hand for a shake but Bennett never took it.Were they enemies? Well, that was their problem.But why was he looking at her like that?"Do you know each other?' She was forced to asked, because of their stares."Yes, Bennett is a long time friend. Well, that was before it all began." Williams answered and she nodded, not wanting to know what began.Men and their problems.Women were the only people suppose to hold grudges not men like them."Ha! Forget about all those past problems." The girl called Charlotte mumbled with a wave of her hand.'Stupid buggy girl.'"You two fit each other very well, I didn't like what the tabloid wrote about you the other time. That Christian Berth is no
Chapter 20"No, we are not together. We just know each other became Octavia's music till they arrived at her company."I never thought I'd ever have the kind of fun I had today." She mumbled, giggling."Then sign the contract Miss Octavia. I personally made that fun." He said and she frowned.Couldn't he for once stop talking about the nonsense Contract."I will sign it after the fun we'll have again tommorow." She said and he hissed."Look here little one, I don't have the time to come play tommorow. I did everything I did for that contract. You can't tell me to come back the fuck here tomorrow and play again. What are you? Seven?" He glared hard."Well, I'm so sorry for all that Mr Yuan. You didn't look like this when we were busy riding that dosco bang and I can swear I saw you laugh. So please stop acting all cocky and come back here tommorow or you could forget about the damn contract cause I won't be signing that shit till you're here tommorow. Get that?" She shrugged and he chu
