Vanessa's POV“Don’t you worry, Mom, I’ll be fine.” I gave her a small smile. “This is just for work, remember? I’ll be visiting you from time to time.”She glanced at the huge black car in front of the apartment building, and the driver loading my stuff into the trunk. I was not really taking a lot of things, just some of my clothes and other personal items I didn’t want to leave behind.Everything would be provided for me.Even a change of wardrobe. But I still wanted my own stuff, so the guilt of deceiving Rodri Darnell would not be even more compounded than it already was.“And, don’t worry about dad coming back. I got security cameras installed in front of our apartment, so anytime someone’s at the door, you can just check the camera feed from inside to know who it is. If it’s him again, don’t open the door and just call the cops, okay?” I said to her, in a worried tone.I was scared to the bones when she told me Dad came to the apartment.I could not understand why he was so hel
Vanessa's POVThe entire world seemed to stop the moment his eyes met mine.An unexplainable shiver, that I had never felt before washed through me, leaving hot sensations all over my skin. The raw beauty in those eyes was staggering. I found myself unable to look away from him.He was so damn gorgeous.I thought I didn’t care about his looks… so why was my entire body suddenly on fire the closer we got to him? “Good morning, Mr. Darnell.” Trinity’s voice broke the electric tension between us, and his eyes moved away from me to rest on her instead, lifting the spell he had cast on me.I let out a soft breath, still feeling my pulse jumping against my skin. Trinity was smiling at him as we climbed up the short flight of stairs, till we were finally by the entrance. I glanced at her, noting something about the way she looked at him.The way her amber eyes greedily moved up and down his sexy, naked torso. That was not the way a worker looked at the boss. That was the gaze of a woman wit
Rodri's POVI had only been able to get an hour or two of sleep, and that was because I had worked myself sore at my private gym the day before. Now, I was awake at 4:00am, staring at the night sky through the glass wall at the side of my bed. Unable to go back to sleep.Until the silence was broken by my phone ringing.I turned to grab it, narrowing my eyes at the lit up screen to see who the fuck was calling me this early.It was Benson.I clenched my jaw, wondering if answering the call was even worth my fucking time. Dad must have mentioned something about my inability to sleep a whole night to him, that was how he knew I would be awake at this hour.“Fuck it.” I cursed gruffly and answered it. “What?”My tone was harsh, and he pointed it out, of course.“Woah. Easy there.” He said on the other end of the call. “You don’t have to sound so violent, I’m your cousin, remember? Family speak nicely to each other.”“Why the fuck did you even call?” I asked. “It’s fucking early. And don’
Vanessa's POVI had toured the house today. It was a Sunday, so the few staff I met had returned home early. I was fine with that, because with everyone gone from the mansion, including Rodri, I could explore as much as my curious mind wanted.And I was even more stunned than before.Everything of luxury anyone could think of was under this roof. There was even an indoor pool, a Jacuzzi in every bathroom, a large private gym, a home Cinema, a sunroom and others. I could not even remember some of them.The sunroom was my favorite so far.A sudden blush warmed my cheeks when I remembered this morning’s incident at the sunroom. I was skimpily dressed, with almost all my body exposed to the early morning sun. And I had no idea that through the glass walls, and all the way from the west wing, Rodri could see me.Every inch of what I was doing… touching myself and running more lotion into my skin… he was watching everything.I squeezed my eyes shut and held back a squeal. How embarrassing!
Estelle's POV“Babe, where are you? I’ve been waiting for hours.” Brandon complained into the phone. I pressed my phone between my shoulder and my ear, while I paid the cab.“Calm down, babe.” I said. “I’m in front of the apartment, already. Are you that hungry from me, hm?” I smirked, turning away from the cab to walk up towards the building, my heels clacking against the pavement. He grunted out a petulant reply,“Of course. I’m fucking starved and sexually frustrated, babe. You agreed to come over three hours ago, but here you are, just showing up.”I sighed loudly, pressing the elevator buttons and stepping in the moment the doors slid open. I tapped on the floor level I was heading to and turned to face the elevator mirror, fixing my appearance, even though I already looked perfect.“That’s because I was helping my bestie spend some time with her mom, okay? And after that, I had to stop by the spa to get a pedicure. You know I take my appearance seriously. I have to look good al
Estelle's POVMy order seemed to send a rush of arousal straight through my boyfriend, because he bit his own lip as his cock throbbed visibly, still leaking semen from how hard he was.“We have all night…” He said in a voice that showed how glad he was that I was spending the night. I smirked and brushed my hair off my shoulders, watching him hurriedly undo the straps of my heels. In his excitement, he fumbled over the straps and I wriggled my feet.“Hurry!”He cursed and got one of the heels off, then crashed into me again to wrench a hot, carnal kiss out of my mouth. I grabbed his shoulders, digging my nails into his skin with reckless pleasure. Then I was pushing him back. He pulled away with his teeth grazing down my bottom lip, before he returned back to carelessly undoing the straps and flinging the shoe sideways.If I were in my right mind, I would have caused a scene over his reckless handling of my expensive and precious heels, but right now, I gave zero fucks.He grabbed m
Vanessa's POV“Did you enjoy your breakfast, Miss Sterling?” The kind Cook asked me warmly, as she gathered my breakfast tray from the glass table at the corner of my bedroom.I gave her a warm smile in return, looking away from the book on my thighs.“You can call me Vanessa. I’m alright with that.”She straightened up, then nodded. She took a couple of steps towards the door, before she suddenly stopped and glanced back, asking, “I know you are a nice woman, Vanessa, so you might be holding back on some things. Is there any complaints you might have, about any thing at all, these past few days? It’s our duty to make sure you are satisfied with everything.”I shook my head, almost in disbelief that this woman would believe that anything in this luxury mansion could inconvenience me. Does she know the kind of tedious life I lived before getting here?If only she could see the state of our old house.She must have thought I was like one of the sophisticated and over-entitled women Rod
Vanessa's POVHis arms instinctively wrapped around me, holding me up. His voice held a sense of urgency as he tilted my face up and looked over my burning skin. “What the hell is happening to you?”I had no idea either. My entire skin was burning like someone was boiling water in my veins, making it bubble till scalding hot steam accumulated under my skin. My eyes were watering, making my vision so blurry that I had to repeatedly wipe my eyes.My knees felt weak.“I.. I feel hot.." I slurred out. It was becoming increasingly difficult to even move my tongue. That alarmed him even more. “Shit.” He cursed and effortlessly raised me into his arms, carrying me bridal style as he stormed out of the bedroom. I was not really paying attention to our surroundings, though I could faintly hear him giving orders to the staff who had probably realized something wrong was happening.I idly wondered how they were always at his beck and call, no matter where they were in his huge house.“…Ready th
