Vanessa’s pov. Dominic seemed to be avoiding gaze with me,Ever since I told him the effect of the drug was no longer active. I knew he would start acting like this anyways. “Hmm, Are u sure you okay now?” Elliot asked with a concerned look. “Yeah, sure I’m” I say to him politely, and he nods his head at me. We all continued eating our meal and everywhere became silent, just the fork or spoon hitting plates sounds could be heard. “So since we all gathered here, I don’t really like the atmosphere of this place ever since that party and to lighten up the mood here,I would like us to all go to the beach and have some quality time together,we can prepare for the drinks and food that should be easy” Lucy says smiling “What do you Dominic? This is your beach house after all” she asks him. He raised his head up gently and looked at Darren “what is the schedule for tomorrow?” He asks. Darren dropped his fork on the plate and craned his neck up “hmm, nothing important we alr

Lucy’s pov. I picked up my phone and dialled the number of the decorators. I explained my vision for the beach party and eagerly awaited their arrival. I honestly could not wait for our plans to start taking effect,we don’t really have to Do anything Dominic will do the job and Vanessa will not expect it coming When they finally showed up, they unloaded their tools and started transforming the beach into a vibrant and festive setting. As they worked, me and Elliot whispered and concocting a plan to ruffle Dominic's feathers. We already talked about it earlier but we are just making sure things fall in place. We decided to set up a fake treasure hunt or a surprise guest that would catch him off guard. The anticipation grew as the party approached, and I couldn't help but feel a mischievous thrill. They scattered comfy beach chairs and cosy blankets for everyone to relax on. They even created a stunning centrepiece with seashells and driftwood. The whole beach transformed into

Vanessa’s Pov. So it all began when Lucy gave out instructions that whoever found all the hidden treasure would have the opportunity to ask anything from Dominic and she even made Him promise to fulfil their demand because he is the boss. Of all the people I had to get paired with these three people as if my life cannot get any more worse. So the journey to look around for the hidden treasure at the beach was fun. Elliot made it fun and I don’t know. Somehow I could not stand the way that girl was all clingy towards Dominic. It made me feel uneasy. Now we were at a stony point on the beach, where there were so many rocks and with what our map showed us another hidden treasure was around here. Now I’m wondering how Lucy came up with all the ideas over the night. And what could she possibly be gaining doing all this. “Hmm I’m sorry I have been so carried away with the joy of seeing Dominic I forgot we are a team” Sophia said with an apologetic look as we all stood in front of the

Vanessa’s pov. The game went on and somehow my mood became so bad, I was dared to kiss a strange guy I barely knew but I drank alcohol instead. And now it feels like I’m becoming lightheaded and free a bit but my mood could not stop thinking about the kiss Dominic had earlier with Sophia. I don’t know why I’m having this feeling but I know it’s because I’m beginning to like Dominic and I’m wondering how I could like someone who doesn’t even give a fuck about me or cares about my personal feelings, someone who even bought me and tortured me. I feel like crap right now. “Vanessa it’s your turn, Truth or dare” Sophia asked me“Truth” “If you had a wish right now, what would it be?” Sophia asked. I stared at her with a sad look. “I would wish to Die and in my next life I should meet people who sincerely care and Iove me, I just want to restart my life this life is fucked up already” I said in sad voice and everywhere became silent and they all stared at me while I slowly bent my

Vanessa’s Pov. As Dominic carried me in his arms, a rush of emotions washed over me. I felt safe, protected, and desired all at once. The strength in his embrace made me feel like nothing could harm me. When his lips met mine, it was like a spark ignited within me. The intensity of his kiss sent shivers down my spine, awakening a hunger deep within my core. I could feel the passion radiating from him, matching the fire that burned inside me.With every touch, every caress, I craved more. The way he undressed me, slowly and deliberately, made me feel desired and cherished. It was as if he saw every part of me, both physically and emotionally, and wanted to explore them all.In that moment, I longed for him to take me further, to lose ourselves in the depths of our desires. The connection we shared was undeniable, and I yearned to explore it fully. The room was filled with an intoxicating mix of anticipation and longing, as we both surrendered to the passionate Moment we were about to
