CHAPTER ONE
BLANK
"Ouch" Christine rubbed her forehead in an attempt to soothe the throbbing ache, turning slightly on the soft bedding, she reluctantly opened her eyes to the sudden realization that she is lying on a strange bed and in an unfamiliar room.
A manly hand sluggishly circled her waist from behind, she looked over her shoulder and her eyes widened. A stunningly handsome man lay fast and deep asleep beside her,his messy brown hair caressing his forehead, his long and firm nose,the thick brows slightly arched and covered by his hair,his full lips, neatly shaved beards and the cute little birthmark at the corner of his mouth all made him look even more tempting.
"It can't be, I slept with a stranger?"
she cursed under her breath sitting up, suddenly feeling a burning sensation in between her thighs. She winced in pain and raised the sheets
"fuck!"
They are both butt naked, the man's strong legs circled hers firmly as if he was scared she would run away. She could feel his penis, long and thick on her thighs, she tried to wriggle out of his hold, but the movement seemed to have disturbed his peaceful sleep as the arch between his brows deepened and he shifted his body to a more comfortable position.
Christine, bit her lips. She seemed confused and unable to think, she could not remember how she got here nor the events of the other night. All she could recall is going to the club.
She looked around the room trying to get familiar with its surroundings, the room is a luxurious hotel suite built in the form of a large apartment, except it only had three doors, the bathroom door, the room door and a transparent glass door leading to a corridor, a beautiful beaded curtain served as a demarcation between the sitting and dining area and the bedroom, paintings and crafts of different kinds neatly arranged and placed in different sections of the room, a huge luxurious digital clock that read 6:15 AM hung on the wall beside a full mirror at the far end of the room .
Christine took a deep breath and pushed the sheets away,she tried again to free herself from the man's stronghold, this time, a little more carefully and slowly. Peeling his hands and legs away from her body, she got down from the bed and picked up her clothings scattered across the large and beautifully adorned room, she quickly put them on and got ready to leave, she scanned the room one more time to be sure she was not leaving any of her belongings behind, her eyes landed on the beautiful man still laying sound asleep on the gigantic bed,she thought of something and looked back in the direction of the full mirror with a table and a set of drawers attached to its side at the far end of the room. She got to the table, looked around the drawers and found a sticky note and a wooden fountain pen that had an inscription on it at the top drawer.
Sitting down quietly on the cushioned stool, she scribbled something on the sticky note and hurriedly left the room.
Getting to the elevator, she checked her phone, she had gotten several missed calls from Penelope, her manager. She had stormed out of the restaurant in anger the previous night and put off her phone since she did not want her to know her whereabouts. She rested her head on the elevator wall and tried to recollect the previous night's events amidst the throbbing headache and the nauseous feeling in her stomach. After a series of failed attempts, she gave up.
The elevator door chimed, indicating that it had reached the ground floor, she quickly put on her mask and dashed out of the hotel building and into the quiet street.
*********
Knock knock "Mr Pierce, I brought you a change of clothes" Secretary Jim said through the firmly closed door.
Lance Pierce reached out beside him, feeling no sign of a body, he sat up and rubbed his eyes, he couldn't remember the last time he slept this long. Realizing he was alone, he quickly got up from the bed and checked the bathroom, but there was no sign of a human being. she had indeed run away.
He ran his hands through his hair and bit his lips. Remembering last night's events, he smirked and walked to the living room.
Knock knock "Mr Pierce, are you there?" Jim knocked again when he got no response.
"Go away Jim, I do not wish to be disturbed" Lance said curtly, annoyed that the knock had disrupted his thoughts
"Sorry to bother you Mr Pierce, but you have a meeting in thirty minutes" Jim apologized, not daring to annoy him any further
Lance cursed under his breath and got up from the couch to let Jim in, halfway to the door, he suddenly looked down and realized he had nothing on
"Fuck" he turned and walked back to the bathroom and grabbed a towel,tying it loosely around his waist, he headed for the door.
"Good morning Mr Pierce" Jim said smiling brightly, holding up a neatly ironed gray handmade suit in one hand and a golden shoe box on the other as the door opened
"oh, I apologize Mr Pierce" Jim widened his eyes at the sight of the beautiful half naked man in front of him and abruptly turned
"I didn't know you had no clothes on, I should have been more careful"
Lance stared confused at the small frame of his secretary's back, he didn't understand why Jim had to turn his back because he was shirtless or half naked,he was not a demigod or anything, he rested his right shoulder on the door frame, his brows arching
"Can I have my clothes now?" he asked, tapping Jim lightly on his thin shoulders.
Jim, unlike other males, is rather small and slender, almost like a woman. His deep brown hair, neatly trimmed to suit his small round face. His skin is flawless except for the tiny freckles that adorned his face and arms. He wore round framed glasses that made him look like a proper nerd.
Lance would not have hired him if he wasn't so smart and exceptionally observant, plus he looked a lot younger than his age. If not for the birth certificate in his professional document, he could never have believed Jim is twenty eight, just a year younger than he is, but he looks way older than Jim or so he believed.
"Of course Sir" Jim turned towards him,still holding up the items in his hands, his head slightly bent forward.
"Take them inside and place them on the bed" Lance said, shifting his towering figure away from the door to make room for Jim to go in.
"Yes Sir" Jim entered the suite and headed for the bedroom. From the look of things, it was obvious what had happened the night before. Placing the golden box on the floor at the foot of the bed, Jim smoothened a portion of the bed with his left hand before placing the suit neatly on it.
"You didn't happen to see anyone leave this room, or did you?" Lance asked, walking back into the bedroom and towards the bathroom after glancing towards the hallway
"No, sir. I didn't see anyone" Jim answered, his head still lowered
"Okay,then. You can leave now, send a copy of my schedule for the week to my email, I will check it out later" Lance walked into the bathroom almost immediately and shut the door
"Right away Sir" Jim nodded and left the room.

Sometime later, at an award ceremony, Chelsea went onstage to accept the award for best screenplay. Her ex-husband, Edmund, was the one presenting the award to her. As he handed her the trophy, he suddenly reached for her hand and pleaded humbly in front of the audience, "Chelsea, I'm sorry I didn't cherish you before. Could you please give me another chance?" Chelsea looked at him indifferently. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nelson. My only concern now is my business." Edmund's heart was shattered into a million pieces. "Chelsea, I really can't live without you." But his ex-wife just walked away. Wasn't it better for her to just concentrate on her career? Men would only distract her—especially her ex-husband.

"It's because I need to return home to get a billion-dollar fortune. Besides, I don't love him anymore," Loraine replied with a smile. They all laughed at her.

You shouldn't be with suckers who just want your money. How about you come back to me? I'm a billionaire too. Together, we can build a strong empire. What do you say?" Loraine squinted at her ex-husband with her lips curled in disgust.
