The next morning, Ciara woke up with an unsettled mind. Even as she prepared for work as the first day of being a director, she could barely concentrate. The reason for this, well, it all started the night before. After they got home from the banquet, Ciara slumped on the couch, she was exhausted– mostly from the drama that happened at the party– and getting a good night's sleep was all that she wanted. Dominic went straight into their bedroom, only to return about five minutes later, looking impossibly sexy. He had taken off his coat, and his shoes, and the first four buttons of his shirt had been unbottoned, revealing the muscled wall of his very masculine chest. Ciara swallowed hard as he approached her and suddenly crouched right in front of her. Her heart began to pound in her chest and she found it hard to breathe properly. Just as he had helped her put her shoes on, Dominic slowly began the task of taking them off, one after the other. Intentionally caressing her legs as h
"What?""Are you deaf! Or is there something wrong with your brain? I said to join the protesters in my place. Do you expect an important person like myself to join a bunch of old men and women screaming like zombies? It's much too embarrassing."Of all the things his mother -in -law had asked him to do, this was hands down, the most ridiculous thing ever. "Why exactly are they protesting anyway?" If he was going to embarrass himself, then he might at least know the reason. "Who are you to question me? I am your mother -in -law you nitwit! You have no right to question my order. You just do whatever I tell you to do, whenever I tell you to do it. Understood?!"This woman was something else, how could she call him without offering any form of explanation, and expect him to just start screaming his lungs out, and still she refused to explain what was going on!"You're not going to do it?" She crossed her arm over her chest, frowning at him like he was supposed to feel intimidated by he
"Just go back and join the protesters already!" She barked, but Dominic didn't moved a muscle. "What is wrong with you?""Mother, how much did you invest?" He asked again, more calmly this time around. He knew his mother -in -law. The reason she was this worried, and even willing to miss work to stand out in the sun with a bunch of old men and women protesting could only mean that the money in question, was a huge sum. "Two million." She answered quietly. "What!""You can't blame me okay! I was only trying to make a better future for myself." She yelled in her defence. A better future, more like she was trying to make some extra money for herself. His mother -in -law was so greedy, she couldn't see through a scam. Though, judging by the fact that so much other people fell for it as well, Dominic decided that maybe it wasn't that much of an obvious scam. "Florence, have you been able to make any progress?" Two women approached Dominic and his mother -in -law. From the way they we
Since the night Richard saw her at the banquet, he had not been able to get Ciara out of his mind. He still found it hard to believe that a woman so beautiful could still be a virgin as well. He had been thinking of different ways he could approached her, but none of it seemed right. Then there was still the issue of her annoying husband. Why did he have to exist in the first place?George had tried to tell him that he wasn't important in their family but he was still there, and he was still married to her. He remembered how he stood protectively in front of Ciara when he tried to shake hands with her. And even Ciara seemed to have feelings for him as well because she barely paid him any attention while he was trying to talk to her. If only there was a way he could see her again. Maybe an opportunity that would give him the chance to visit their home or workplace. Almost like she had been listening to his thoughts, Richard's cell phone stated to ring and upon checking the caller ID
When the car pulled up, everyone turned their attention to it, eager to see the person inside such a luxurious vehicle. Then, almost like he was an actor filming, Richard slowly opened the door and came out, a hard look on his face. When Florence saw him, she smiled happily. Partly because she was thrilled that her problems would be solved but also because she believed that she had found the perfect suitor for her daughter. "Oh my goodness, who is that?" Someome asked, she wasn't talking to anyone in particular though. "Wow, just look at that face. I would give anything to have someone so perfect in my family." Another woman added. "Talk about perfect son -in -law. Just look at that car, it must be crazy expensive."The people kept admiring Richard, and he just stood there, enjoying the compliments they were showering on him. Florence liked to show that she was associated with big personalities, so as she noticed that people were admiring him, she smiled and waved at him. "Oh R
Ciara was given another office, one that was two times bigger than her brother's – and he had the biggest office among the other children – and she was put in charge of a lot of things that were under the control of her brother previously. Her pay was better, and she had more vacation days. Ciara couldn't be happier. All she ever wanted was finally happening to her, the feeling was the same as waiting all year for the perfect Christmas gift, then finally after so long, the gift was given to you. Dominic told her that she deserved it and more, but really she just felt lucky that she was finally getting a chance to prove to her grandmother, her parents, her brother and even her cousins that she was useful. That she had more than just her beauty. "We need to talk." George said as he barged into her office. "What can I do for you, George?""What can you do for me? I'll tell you what you can do, you can resign from this position and go back to the corner where you used to be.""But I'm
While he was waiting for Aliya's call, Dominic sat on a bench at the other side of the road, that way he could finally take shade from the scorching sun, and he had the perfect view of his mother -in -law and Richard and how they were going to fail woefully. "Yes, who is the person in charge of the establishment??" Richard demanded angrily. "Yeah, bring out that scum!" Florence added. "How dare you scam all these people of their money? You should be ashamed of yourself! Now, I order you to do the right thing or else I'll make sure you end up on jail!""Sir, I'm not the one in charge, I'm only a security guard." The middle height man in uniform addressed Richard and Florence. "Ma'am, please you can't come any further. That's the rule.""Screw all your trashy rules! Don't you know who I am? Go in right now and tell whoever is in charge that Richard Stevenson is going to send every last one of you to jail if he or she doesn't come down here right this instant!"When he mentioned sendi
"What I found out was that he had a backbone. And that backbone is going by the name of Pablo DiMarzio." Aliya announced. Inside the four walls of the MX Corp, right in the CEO's office, an elderly man and a younger man were having a meeting. "Sir Pablo, this is your cut from this deal." The younger one, a blonde man said, his voice coming out a little shaky. "And how much exactly are we talking about here?" The younger man was the owner of the company but the elderly man was the one seated in the executive chair. "Twenty million, sir.""Am I a joke to you?!" He flared up. "Twenty million? And what the hell am I supposed to use it for? Cigarettes?!" He voiced boomed across the room, bold enough to intimidate anyone. "I– I am truly sorry sir, but it's just… there isn't that much money from this deal and well I still have some other commitments I need to settle –""Do I look like I care? Maxie, what do I always tell you?""Th- that you do– don't joke with your money… sir." The young
