Safina’s POV “It was glorious darling. I wish you could’ve seen Leo’s friend defend you from Ruby! She was about to get fired but he stopped it and gave Ruby pity money… although Leo still fired that p*ta.” Mama Benj chuckled as he excitedly called me as I get up and get ready for work to tell me what happened on my day off at Fire and Desire “Can’t say I’m surprised Ma, she deserved it. The other girls will definitely benefit from Ruby’s firing.” I chuckled, tying my hair up into a low ponytail after I did my makeup “What did Ruby even say to Le- I mean Mr. Moore?” I ask “She exposed your rough upbringing to him, called your mom a dr*ggie. And how you got here in Fire and Desire.” He scoffed “But he said and I quote ‘I’d rather spend my time with someone that has a bad past yet a decent person than a desperate, insecure b*tch like you.’ Well after he rejected her and insulted her fake t*ts…” he giggled “Nobody’s rejected her before though.” I point out as I wore my heels and smoot

Safina’s Point of View“You’re so freaking lucky Safina, being the illustrious widower’s date for the night.” Karen, a former coworker swooned as she ogles Lex who was talking with a fellow businessman from afar“Oh please, he probably is paying her to be his date as he prefers the company of well educated and classy women.” Agnes, one of Bella’s so-called “Ednas” at her department spat. I just ignored her She’s technically right after all“Nobody asked for your opinion Agnes. You’re just jealous because Safina got herself a man while your husband is probably f*cking around with a blonde bimbo.” Bella spat back, I held back a giggle at my best friend’s comeback“Bella, enough. Agnes isn’t worth wasting witty comebacks for, her humor’s is as dry as her hoo-hah maybe that’s probably why she hates Safina going on a date with Henry Moore.” Karen quips as my eyes met with Lex, smiling at me. I smiled back kindly as he went to my direction. I instantly remembered my bold action earlie

Once Safina left the party, I stayed at the bar, drinking my heart out and not caring what the f*ck is going on around me. I didn’t even realize that the guests were sent home by my father after the scene that transpired with me, Safina and that f*cking date of hers. “She shouldn’t be with anyone else, only with me. He’ll never love her like I would.” I growled in anger, downing another glass of whiskey, just as I was about to pour another glass, the bottle was snatched from me “You have some explaining to do Maximilian.” My father spat with an angry glare directed to me as he placed the whiskey away from my reach “What for? I’m a grown f*cking man, I’m allowed to date whoever I want whether you approve of her or not.” I spat back, glaring back at him “I don’t give a sh*t on the b*tches you decide to stick your d*ck in! What I care about is you looking pathetic like a f*cking loser in front of a lot of people, on my engagement party no less!” he says angrily “You’re a King, act li

As Angel and I went inside the room, I felt a sense of déjà vu on the night of my birthday…A night that I’ll never forget… especially with a woman like Angel in my arms.The door was closed and locked and Angel sighed “I appreciate you defending me Lex but you shouldn’t have done that.” She crossed her arms across her chestI frowned a little, stepping closer towards her “And why wouldn’t I defend you? You were being harassed and any decent guy would defend a girl in your position.” I looked at her up and down, seeing her body up close, pants tightening once again at the view of her luscious lips, bodacious curves and those tantalizing brown eyes of hers that is heavily accentuated by a lighter shade of contact lenses.“I’m a stripper Lex, I’ve been doing this for almost seven years! I’ve handled my fair share of men like them before and it won’t be the last.” She retorts back, shaking her head “Most men I’ve met my whole life aren’t much of a gentleman like you so I get used to

Safina’s Point of View It has been days since I last saw Lex in person, I was almost an hour late when Mama Benj had dropped me off to the office but Wilma was the one who welcomed me at the office, explaining that Lex wasn’t coming to work that day.He's also sent me an email that I opened the moment I noticed it on my desktop since I somehow forgot my phone at Mama Benj’s place.Safina,I want to let you know that I won’t be coming to work today, I am not feeling that great when I woke up this morning. I tried calling you earlier but you weren’t picking up the phone. Nevertheless, I want progress reports sent to this email before you leave work.I’ll be back at the office tomorrow.Respectfully,Henry Alexander Moore.It had been three days since that email, and he hasn’t come to work yet. Though we correspond with emails about progress reports and work related things, I’m too afraid to ask him why he isn’t at work.Probably because it might’ve been because of me and how
