As they drove home, Lily was unusually quiet and that got Mike's attention“Babe what's the problem you are not saying anything? What's on your mind?” Mike asked,as he flickered his gaze to Lily. Lily heaved a deep sigh, gently massaging her temple “There’s nothing much on mind, I'm just thinking of a way to teach those bastards a lesson that they would never forget in a hurry” Lily replied absentmindedly, her mind running wild with different thoughts. “You mean those two idiots? The pauper and the pauperess?” Mike asked mockingly Lily raised her eyebrows questioningly,a small smile crossing her face “Is there any word like that? Anyways I'm planning on meeting up with up with Mr. Vain, I need to discuss something important with him”she announced “Wait! The Mr. Vain we all know? Babe, what do you plan on discussing with him? That man is a very dangerous man, I heard he sleeps with anything in skirt, he's extremely dangerous and it's risky to go meet with him ”Mike said, his voice
She continued, her voice barely above a whisper “This is what I have been praying for all these while, but now, It's here, I can't help but feel like a scam, I feel like I betrayed my friend” Benita said, as tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes. Andrew furrowed his eyebrows In surprise “No, you are not a scam Benita and you didn't betray anyone . You got this contract because you deserved it, you worked so hard for it, nothing more, nothing less.” Andrew said assuredly “I know but… “There are no buts Benita, Your company has huge potentials and there is no one else that deserves this more than you do”“But it was meant to be Lily's, and she thinks I stole it from her” Benita said as a stray tear rolled down her cheeks “Benita, you didn't steal anything from anyone, I want you to accept that you got this contract because you worked so hard for it, so you deserve it.”Andrew said soothingly “Lily was the one who let the opportunity slip from her grasp, and that has got nothing t
Beep! Benita dived for her phone without delay as soon she heard the sound of a text notification. Her face stretched into a broad smile as she scrolled through her phone, reading the text message that just got in. “I accept your apology Benita, and I am very happy that the contract went to a befitting person. I wish you good luck,I will be having my birthday party this weekend, on Friday. How about you come over with Andrew?”Benita’s face broadened into more smiles after reading the text Lily had sent. As soon as Andrew dropped her at the hotel a few minutes, the first thing she did when she got in was to text Lily. She tried explaining her relationship with Andrew because she knew Lily had misunderstood them, she also sympathized with Lily for her contract loss. It was relieving for her to finally apologize even though she was doubtful that Lily wouldn't reply to her text,but she needed to get the heavy weight off her chest. But, seeing the text message Lily had just sent ba
The club bubbled with excitement, as loud music played in the background “Happy birthday Lily” the people in the room echoed in unison as Lily cut her cake, her face beaming with smiles but underneath those smiles, her heart boiled with anger. Her gaze continually flickered to where Andrew and Benita were seated , and with each stare, her chest contrasted with more anger . She hated that they were here, but she had no other option as this was the only way to carry on with her plans. When she had stared enough, almost digging a hole to their heads, she decided it was time to commence with her plans and get rid of them so she could enjoy her party. She walked up to the center of room and announced excitedly “It's time for the games guys” She said and her words were met with a round of applause as everyone anticipated the game, all except Benita, who felt nervous at the mention of the word “Game” she had never been good at any type of game, so she avoided them all together. And als
He had noticed that Benita was beginning to get drunk and he wasn't exactly comfortable with it. “No, Andrew, let me, it's the rule of the game” Benita said letting out a loud laughter “Benita, you are clearly drunk, here take this”Andrew said, handing over a glass of water to Benita “ I'm okay Andrew, I've got this, I'm not drunk yet, I'm just tipsy” Benita countered Andrew hesitated for a while his grip still firm on the glass , but then a thought flashed through his mind causing his grip to loosen around the glass,he had no reason to fear for Benita’s safety, he was going to let her have fun, after all he was here with her and that automatically meant she was safe, he would be the one to drop her off at the hotel even if she ends up getting too drunk. “Ok, but just this one”He said, loosening his grip around the glass entirely “Sure, this is the last one, don't worry I'm still sober”Benita giggled as she gulped down the vodka at one go. Seeing that her mission had
Her beauty was beyond anything he had seen, and coupled with the fact that Lily had told him she had gotten her tipsy, —that would make it easier to get her in his bed. He thought, grinning with joy Benita noticed the man's gaze on her and began to draw her down the hem of her gown to cover her exposed thighs. She began to feel self conscious as she felt the man's gaze sizing her up like she was some goods up for sale, it become more disturbing to her when she stared back at the man to let him know that she was aware he was staring, but his gaze remained fixed on her as he began to walk closer. A normal person would have snapped off their gaze immediately they were caught staring—but this man was different, his lustful gaze was still glued to her. Benita thought, her heartbeat picking up “She's the perfect meal I need for tonight”Mr. Vain sneered, his lustful gaze undressing Benita as he got to where she was seated. Benita’s heartbeat pounded heavily against her chest as she
“How dare you!” He growled again as he bent down, grabbing Benita’s neck “P.. p.. please”Benita choked out, her eyes protruding in fear as her life flashed before her. “P… p… p… please”She stuttered, tears streaming down her face but Mr Vain’s face remained cold, his grip tightening around her fragile neck. “Why now ? Why do I have to die just when I have gotten a breakthrough in my life ? Benita thought, more tears flooding down her face. Continually , she found herself glancing at the door,hoping that her savior would come to her rescue. But he was nowhere in sight She was all alone at the mercy of this cruel man and who knows if she would come out of this alive. At the thought of her possible death, cold chills ran down her spine. She closed her eyes in defeat but almost immediately, she felt Mr vain loosen his grip around her neck. He had waited to kill her and ask his men toss her body, but he changed his mind last minute. He still wanted her in his be
Just as Mr vain and his men were about to pass through the door. A loud bang rang out and the door forcefully flew open. A tall handsome man rippling with muscles stormed into the room, his white shirt stained with blood and his face contorted with rage. His bloodthirsty eyes made it look like he was about to unalive someone and he definitely was going to! “Keep her down immediately!”Andrew roared thunderously,at the sound of his voice, the men holding Benita shuddered involuntarily as they halted in their tracks. Andrew flickered his cold gaze to Lily, everything coming together all at once. Though he had been suspecting that Lily had an ulterior motive for inviting him and Benita to her birthday party, when he got to the lobby and found out it was empty,the signs became glaring. Immediately, he sensed that something was off and made to hurry back to check on Benita, but lo and behold, some men barged in and locked the door behind them, threatening to beat him to stupor. Unf
