I drank so much to secure orders that I ended up throwing up. Meanwhile, my boyfriend was in our new home, rolling in bed with his first love. He even undermined my rights for her. I turned around and started my own business. Now he's begging me to come back.
After seeing off the last guest, I turned around and rushed to the bathroom to throw up.
Luna Smith, my assistant, quickly patted my back. Once I felt better, she helped me into the car.
"Phoebe, why do you push yourself so hard? It's not like there aren't any men who could help in the company." Luna said, looking at me with concern.
I gave a wry smile. "But they're not at a high enough level to handle this."
The client today was from a powerful publicly listed company. Securing their order would ensure our company's performance for the next three years.
I had heard they liked whisky, so I went to the winery and bought fifty cases. Unexpectedly, they brought a whole team. I had no choice but to drink with them.
After more than three hours of dining, the whole team was all unable to drink more and lost to me alone, and finally I secured a letter of intent for cooperation.
Looking at the document, I ignored the burning sensation in my stomach.
Luna was still indignant on my behalf.
"Does Mr. Powell know how hard you're working?"
Thinking of Golden Powell, I smiled gently. "This is the wedding gift for him. It's a secret for now."
"You and Mr. Powell are getting married next month. Why doesn't he care that you're not home yet?"
Hearing Luna's words, I remembered that new furniture was supposed to be delivered to the new house today. Golden said he would oversee it, but I had no idea how it went.
I called Golden, but there was no answer.
"Luna, head to Foster Ville."
I told Luna to take half a day off tomorrow before entering the neighborhood unit.
The password for the new house was my birthday, set by Golden.
Thinking about the wedding next month, I couldn't help but smile.
As I opened the door, strange noises came from inside.
I saw high heels at the entrance, and a man's suit tangled with a woman's dress on the floor.
From the bedroom came sounds of heavy breathing and moaning.
Dizzy, I steadied myself against the cabinet and slowly walked in.
The master bedroom door was ajar, and a couple was entangled on the still-packaged mattress. The man on top of the woman was none other than the other owner of the new house- my fiancé, Golden.
My stomach churned, and I threw up.
Rumors claimed that Fernanda, newly back with her family, was nothing more than a violent country bumpkin. Fernanda just flashed a casual, dismissive grin in response. Another rumor suggested that the usually rational Cristian had lost all sense, madly in love with Fernanda. This frustrated her. She could tolerate gossip about herself, but slander against her beloved crossed the line! Gradually, as Fernanda's multiple identities as a celebrated designer, a savvy gamer, an acclaimed painter, and a successful business magnate came to light, everyone realized they were the ones who had been fooled.
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
