Without opening her eyes, she began to use her left hand to search frantically for her phone, which was obviously the cause of the disturbance. The vibration stopped immediately her hand found the phone under the heap of clothes that she had dropped on the bed earlier. Struggling to open her eyes, she peeped to check the caller ID and let out a loud groan. Not wanting to be disturbed again, she tried to switch off her phone, still half asleep. Her phone resumed vibrating again, and the shock of it caused her to pick. “Matilda Anna Montez, how many times have I told you to call me as soon as you are off the plane? Tell me how many times?” Matilda groaned inwardly, stretching the phone away from her ears as her mother's voice boomed loudly through the phone. It was only her mother that took delight in calling her by her full name, the whole thing and she mostly call

She lowered her voice, trying to allow no one else here their conversation."Look, the rumours in this city are always true and if what they say about Erasmus being a rapist is real, then I think I would be justified." Matilda was about to say something, but a sudden uproar behind them had cut her shut.They both watched as a man engaged his partner in a heated argument, before eventually pouring a milkshake on his head.

“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Erasmus asked his gaze on the direction of the food. “Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Victoria replied with ease. Erasmus realized that she seemed to have given up and at this point a mere killing of Victoria would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Victoria, he wanted Victoria to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food?

Mia’s heart pounded in her chest as her vision focused and she came to the grim realization that there was a gun barrel pointed right in her face.“Get up,” she heard a gruff voice, and her eyes drifted to the owner of the hand that pointed the gun at her. It was a strange man that she had never met before.What was going on?She got up swiftly covering her chest with her bedsheet. She had been wearing only a rose colored satin nightgown to sleep.Mia’s eyes were fixed firmly on the man who was still aiming the gun at her.

About an hour after she had locked eyes with that mysterious, dangerous looking man from the warehouse, Mia now sat atop a bed, feeling uncertain of the direction her life was going to take.She recalled the last moments before she was carried out by the same men that had pointed guns at her and her brother, and took her to this room.She didn’t even know where she was.“Keep her until I come,” she had heard the man - the men’s boss? - ordering them. “And don’t touch her. Not one hair on her fucking head.”It had to be the boss, because he looked like no other man she had ever seen in her life before, and the strip club had given her a lot of experiences when it came to trusting her gut instinct.

"What are you doing, Richard ?" She asked the moment one hand cupped her face, while the other slid down the curve of her waist. Her question came out as a whisper, which surprised her. "Helping you relax around me. We can't go to the meeting with you looking like this.""Like how?"Richard leaned closer to her, bringing his lips to her ear and her body jolted as his hot breath fanned her skin. "Like a simple touch from me will send a wave of electricity through you. One simple touch, like this." The hand that was on her waist found her fingers and he intertwined his with hers, which were already clammy. Matilda shut her eyes in pleasure and pressed her lips in a firm line to prevent herself from making even the slightest sound. He buried his face in her neck, inhaling her inviting flowery scent.

Would you mind giving me a lift?Fear was evident on Leonard 's face as he considered my request. "Are you certain, keeping in mind his possible reaction?" he inquired, worried about how his words may come across.I let out a slow breath, calling upon my inner power.

"Now, please enlighten me, what exactly do you desire from me?"While we glared at each other intensely, I silently vowed to control the situation according to my wants and limits.

He clutched my hand tighter, his voice filled with scorn.Leonard mocked, saying, "I warned you it wouldn't look good on you," in a tone filled with bitterness.

She tried on the dresses one at a time, with each one more captivating than the previous one. The gentle materials hugged my body's natural contours, as intricate elements shimmered in the light, producing a stunning exhibition. I spun around and looked at myself in the mirror, wishing to see a hint of love in Leonard 's gaze. However, his calm facial expression stayed unchanged as he stood just outside the fitting room, serving as a constant indication of his emotional disconnection.I put on a different dress and gazed at myself in the mirror once more.
