I travel back to my residence on Madison Avenue, it's a forty minutes drive. This reminds me of the fact that my time with Adrian wasn't actually thirty minutes as stipulated but an hour. I could track the time from what's hit on my watch now I've arrived home and getting off the time left which is taken for the time I spent with him.
The taxi drops me by the side of the road, from here I walk through the pavement to my family's three-room apartment which I share with my sisters, Brenda, twenty-eight and Alexandria, twenty. They are the only family I've got since our parents left us when we were pretty much younger. I don't hold them up in my mind with hate as I did Adrian, but I'm most disgusted with their attitude towards their birth children. After they got divorced, they remarried one month after each to the love of their life they had been secretly dating while still with each other. What a shameful act! This is one major reason I'll always be irritated when I remember this. There was no obvious reason they gave us for their divorce other than that they had fallen out of love due to the spicy sensations they were getting from their younger lover. Mom and dad gave the same reason. Had it been they still took care of us after they parted ways, the case would have been totally different but immediately they got off to their separate paths, they also parted from us as well. None of them cared to take us in, or even send in financial aids, none cared to call or visit us but I've heard from some people who know them currently that they are doing well and fine. We took menial jobs, even the most unsuitable for our age and gender just to have food on the table, clothes on our body and to continue with school.
I'm happy it all worked out until Adrian came and crashed all what I built up in my life, making me start from scratch. Now I'm meeting him again, not as a runaway boyfriend but as a handsome and billionaire boss. Whatever, the hate still lays deep in my heart aside the film which overshadowed it when I got laid.
Few steps to the house, my younger sister comes running up to me. She's all radiant and excited, she must have been waiting for me to come home. I pull her into a tight embrace.
"What happened? How did it go?" She blurts out even before I could say a word.
It's exactly the same thing I thought in my mind. The first thing I give to her is a warm smile to smoothen her suspense. Her anxiety level goes a bit low but I can still see that she wants to know what happened. It would be the shockiest moment for her but I have no option but to tell her the truth. Brenda emerges from inside, walking up to us.
"You're welcome."
"Thanks sis," I give her a perk on both cheeks.
"How did it go?" She asks.
"I think I'll need to go in, both of you have asked me the same question."
"Sure, no problem." She pulls me by the wrist towards the house. "I'm so excited you're back, hope you were accepted?"
"No!" I snap.
"What?" They chorus at the same time, with eyes wide. My lips part into an assuring smile, at least all is not all that bad.
We walk arms in arms into the living room, I sink to the couch while they rest their ass on the one opposite. I heave a sigh of relief. "I met him!"
"Who?" They blurt out in unison.
"Adrian."
"Which Adrian is that?" Alexandria asks.
"How many Adrian do we know, or do I know?"
"You mean your boyfriend?" Brenda's eyes turn awestruck, horrified.
"Yes, not my boyfriend, he's now an ex. He's the boss."
"Come on, baby."
"You don't mean it," Brenda adds.
"I knew you guys wouldn't believe me but I'm telling the truth."
Immediately I announced to them that the anonymous boss is Adrian Cameron, the guy who broke my heart and crushed my spirit, the excitement on their face fades into a frown, no one needs to tell me how much they hate Adrian. In fact, they hate him more than I do. We are like triplets, joined together in heart and mind, my sisters are my closest buddies and anyone who wants to hurt me turns out to be the greatest enemy they wouldn't spare a second to send to hell if they had the capability.
After Adrian ran away with my money and I informed them, they almost got the police into the matter to track him down if not that I intervened. I felt they were just being over-annoyed. I couldn't risk them using the little money they had in fighting the course, what if we didn't succeed in the end. Both would be gone. That's how I felt, I asked them to let it go. No evil deed goes unrewarded. Adrian would have to pay for what he did to me, if I can make it up to the final, what I'll be earning per month is more than thrice of what he robbed me off. The money is really my aim, not him in person. I hate him like hell and no matter how my sisters hate him too, they have to admit that they can't do a thing against my dream of going over to be his escort, if I'm chosen.
Revenge and hatred are two things, but bankruptcy which we've gotten into is a greater voice which will pull those two down in terms of accepting the job.
"So what are we gonna do now he's the one advertising this job?" Alexandria breaks the silence after some minutes.
"What are we gonna do?" What do you mean? My eyes twitch into a demanding gesture, I got to have her explain what she really means.
"I mean, will you still opt in for the job if you're chosen?"
"How are you sure she's gonna be chosen?" Brenda cuts in. "You know how Adrian might be shocked and guilty at crossing paths with her again. No one would be naive enough to pull off the revenge quest off the line, he sure knows Estella is gonna be up for some revenge and he might be afraid to have her an inch close to him."
Though this is what Brenda thinks, it's not my mind. The only revenge I can give him is that I'll never forgive him for what he did to me, the hatred in me for him would never fade. Some might think I'm tormenting myself with this while he's enjoying his life but no! The hatred and revenge is quite different from the interior that would kill me slowly.
Every man wants to be appreciated and praised for how well they did in bed, he's not an exception, he did so well, but I'll never talk of how good he is, I'll play indifferent no matter how best he tries to please me. It'll hurt him to the ass.
Yes! This is what I'm gonna do.
Finally the three days wait is over. Today is the day I had been waiting for, having a sleepless night over. The successful candidate would be published on the company's official website, the end of the great expectation of all the girls who came for this. I was able to convince my sisters to accept this lucrative job if I'm lucky enough to be chosen. They did actually but warned me never to fall in love with the man who broke my heart. No matter how I want to prolong checking the outcome of the interview, due to anxiety and the need to evade disappointment if I didn't make it to the final list, I got to. My sisters gather beside me, on both sides as I log into the account I created on Adrian's company official website. It doesn't take up to a second and the login successfully notification pops up, on top of my screen. I scroll sideways to the final list button. "Girls close your eyes!" I close my eyes as I hit the check list button. Oh God, I need your help right now! I breathe i
Last night was memorable, though I intended to leave at eleven, I stayed up till 1 AM. We got so overwhelmed by the euphoria of the evening and the after-party that we lost count of the time. I thought I wouldn't sleep well due to the few hours left before dawn, surprisingly I had a great sleep. It's time to pack my clothes and belongings into luggages, both girls set in to assist me. Adrian promised to send in a car to come pick me up and any moment from now, it will arrive. I look up to the clock in the world, it's 8:53 AM. I finish up with everything and I just have to wait for Adrian's car to arrive. Sure, he's not going to be the one to drive but one of his drivers. "Girl, I'm just so surprised at how you made it to the final list." I look up at Brenda with a smile on my lips. I thought she said he was gonna reject me because of what happened three years ago. It didn't turn out as she said, but I know she said this out of true concern. All my mind tells me now is that I'm not
The Limo slowly pulls up before a tall glass and steel residential estate. I expected to see the building where the interview took place but here is a different one, far more beautiful and luxurious than the other. "He has many houses?" I ask Luke. Immediately this escaped my mouth, I saw how lame the question was. A billionaire CEO can't have only one house! I felt I just needed to speak. Luke responds only with a nod and we return to our previous silence. I'm not a great talker and from the way I see, he isn't one either but both of us were comfortable watching the TV. I attempt to open the door and step out upon its stoppage at the garage but he abruptly opens his side, seeing him walk over to mine, I knew he wanted to assist me."Thanks!" I mutter as I step out, at least I haven't lost my manners. He places a nod before his actual you're welcome. "Mr Cameron would love to see you now!" His tone changes to the most professional, unlike the casual way he talked to my sisters and I
A knock comes up at the door, I tilt my head towards it from my bed where I was having a good rest. It's the delivery agent, a woman in her thirties has a large pack of boutique bags with her. I sigh with slight joy, I'm not even sure if what he ordered for me would be my taste. I glance at my phone screen, a gasp escapes my mouth. It's 6:18 PM. What a fuck! I can remember that Adrian made it mean like the delivery will arrive in the afternoon. I'm sure he wants to give no chance for rejection.I pull open the door. "Come inside." "Thanks ma'am." "Are you the delivery woman Mr Cameron sent?" "Yes but I'm working for him." "What do you mean?" I thought she was from the supermarket where these were ordered from."I'm the stylist and makeup artist employed for you." "Really?" My jaw drops. What's the need of a stylist for me? Why would he waste his money on this? "Adrian employed you?" "Mr Cameron?" She corrects."Oh sorry, Mr Cameron?""Yes, he employed me last week to begin my wo
Before us is a metallic colored Rolls-Royce Phantom. His assistant, another, not Luke comes out from the front seat beside the driver to open the door for us upon seeing us. He walks over to us but Adrian gestures to him to stop, he will do it himself. I'm awestruck when he pulls open the door and holds it, stepping aside with the gesture that I should go in. I shoot him a confused look, but manage to give him a grateful wink. I get inside and make myself comfortable inside. Even after getting in, I sense his lustful eyes scanning my backside. He knows I'm not putting on any panties or bra because the sides of my hips with my waist are bare, even by cleavage down to the upper part of my tummy. He slides in, giving his PA the opportunity to shut the door. He then walks over to his front seat, enters it and closes the door. The driver starts the car, slowly the call reverses from the garage and pulls slowly away from the vicinity of the estate towards the luxury gate which opens slowly
I set out with him walking arm in arm with each other, smiling and talking to each other like the perfect couple. The cameras start to flash on us. Where these paparazzi waiting for us? I repeat exactly the same question to Adrian who doesn't seem surprised as me, perhaps he always experience this being a billionaire and a CEO. "You know I'm a public figure, I am famous being a CEO, so it's normal." "Let me ask you, why did you need an escort for events, why didn't you opt in for a company service but a sexy girl?" "Why, because I got to have them perceive the image that I have a girlfriend." "Who?" "The world," he grins nervously. I feel that he isn't saying the total truth here, from the way he is blinking his eyes, he's hiding something from me. Whatever it is, I don't care. I'm just here for a pretence service and nothing. So this doesn't spoil the mood, we continue our sexy conversation in the midst of the flashes. An usher assigned to us walks up to us. "Good evening sir a
"So where are we going, we gonna do this outside?" I ask lamely, a mere effect of alcohol. A deep kiss hits me hard, disabling my curiosity. Nothing matters to me at this moment except finding a place to fuck ourselves out and that's no other but the lounge Adrian is talking of. "I forgot my purse!" "That doesn't matter, is there anything important in it?" I guess he's just talking merely out of the alcohol's effect. "Of course, my phone!" "Don't worry about that, it's safe. Frank will be in to pick those items left on our seats, as you can see I'm not with my phone." "Why should you be so careless?" "Careless? No one is gonna steal those because there is CCTV and it's main focus is on our seats. Don't worry yourself." With this, my anxiety is laid bare, I trust his words. I'm being led into a grand suite with adorable decors and rose scent, large bouquets of red roses, natural ones from where the romantic scent is coming from. The large bed at the uppermost center of this mass
I fell asleep out of frustration, with Adrian by my side. We got too tired to pick up from where we stopped in the lounge upon reaching home, so we dropped to our bed, Adrian's bed and fell off, sleeping in each other's arms. I feel alone, no longer cuddled with the warm hand that I had last night. I wake up abruptly only to find out that Adrian is not by my side, he broke my trust yesterday but I wouldn't let that make me begin my day on a bad note. I raise my eyes to the clock on the wall, it's 5:13 AM. I now recall that Frank told Adrian of his schedule this morning by 5 AM. I head to the bathroom to brush and have a bath, mine is not far from here, I decide to use it instead of Adrian's, I don't wanna take liberties. Upon finishing this, I walk back to his room where I pick my gown and shoes from the floor. I scan around, surprised to see my purse and phone inside lying on the bedside table. How did this reach here? I recall how I had forgotten it on my seat upon stepping forwar
