“Anna’s POV”I groaned and rubbed my eyes as I opened it, the morning rays of sunshine seemed to be the weapon fashioned against me. I felt pain on my neck and boobs as I slowly sat up. I think I might have sat silently for a minute or two before the sleep cleared off my eyes and it dawned on me.I gasped and grabbed the duvet, pulling up to my neck as consciousness hit me! I was completely naked! But that is not what struck me, because it was a habit to go to bed without clothes, but this was not my house; where was I?I immediately looked around and flashes of memories flooded my mind; the hotel! I was at the hotel!I looked around immediately and I was all alone. I turned towards the bathroom but there was no one there, the door was closed as well. I was confused as hell; what happened? How did I spend the night here? Where is Mr. Blackwood?Just then, more fragments of the previous night’s memory came juggling back and I struggled to make sense of them. The last clear scene I had

The driver opened the door for me as I arrived at the car and I walked in. Mr. Blackwood was already seated by the left side of the back seat and I sat by his right. I tried not to look at him as the car door was closed, rather I picked up my phone as a distraction.It still felt weird, knowing that I had sex with this man last night and all I could make up was clips of it. I am never going to take alcohol in my life again, even if I am taunted by the likes of him. How do I know this wasn’t his plan all along? Did he get me drunk on purpose?On the other hand, I was glad that I wasn’t fully conscious when it happened, because how would I have looked him in the eyes? I would have died of embarrassment if I was conscious when he took off my clothes.After over ten minutes on the road and with no idea what else to do with my phone, I summoned courage and turned towards him. “Have you gone through my report Sir? I know it was a long day but I wonder if you made time to go through it? And

“I am just going to hear him out, he said please and asked nicely.” I chuckled over the phone as I sat in front of the mirror, my reflection staring back at me with a mixture of excitement and dread.I was on the phone with my crazy friend Jennifer, I had just informed her that I was going on a date or a meeting if it makes it sounds better, with Jimmy. She doesn’t seem too happy about that.“What do you mean to hear him out? I know you too well, Ann. We both know how this is going to end, he will sweet talk you into forgiving him and once again he is back in your pants.” She complained.“You are right, but that is not so bad, he said he was sorry and I think he is sincere, he regrets his actions so maybe I should just forgive him and take him back, at least now he would try to make it up to me for the rest of our relationship, giving me the upper hand here.” I repliedI was dressed in a sexy black gown, the fabric clinging to my curves in a way that made me feel powerful yet vulnerab

“Mr. … Mr. Blackwood?” I muttered in shock, trying to confirm if it was really him or my eyes were playing games with me.He stared at me with furrowed eyebrows, like he was also surprised to see me here and he needed to make sure that I was real. His eyes were dilated and a bit red, his hair was messed up and his black long sleeve shirt was half-unbuttoned, revealing his quite hairy chest.“Anna? Am I imagining this?” he said soberly, it was like he had just come off a hangover but his breath still smells like bourbon.“No, I am here. Is everything okay, Mr. Blackwood?” I asked with genuine concern. Honestly, he didn’t look okay to me and that would be the first time. “What are you doing here?” I added immediately.He creased his eyebrows like I had just asked an irrelevant question. “What am I doing here?” he replied calmly. “Well, I own this place, Ann.”“Oh,” I muttered as my jaws dropped. Of course, Billionaire playboy, how can it be complete if he didn’t own a nightclub?“Yeah…

I was having a beautiful Monday at the office free of annoying pests like CEO Blackwood, but then the damn phone rang. It was the office telephone, I knew at that moment that it was going to be problematic.Almost tempted to ignore the call, I finally took it.“Hello Ma’am,” the feminine voice sounded from the other end.“Oh,” I muttered as I realized that it wasn’t Maxwell on the other end, it was the receptionist, I recognized her voice.“Hi… Celine,” I replied in relief. It couldn’t be much of a big deal as long as it wasn’t Mr. Blackwood on the other side of the line. “Is there a problem?” I asked.“Not exactly, um… There is a lady here, she says she is Maria Forbes and she is here to see Mr. Blackwood.” The receptionist informed me.“Oh… a lady? Okay, just hold on, I will put a call through and get you a response.” I informed her.“Sure Ma’am,” she replied and I immediately hung up.“Maria Forbes?” I muttered to myself. Well, if that doesn’t sound like old money, who could this M
