"Please I need some money for my mother's treatment, you know she is sick and she will die if I don't save her" Ava cried as she sobbed on her knees begging her step mother, as she smiled and said to her "What happened to all your bragging, I thought you have a big mouth so use it to pay for your mother's hospital bills".
Ava sighed as she knew this was not the time to talk back or be rude to her step mom, so with folded hands she pleaded as her step sister stormed in, in anger, they all looked at her as her mom asked her "What happened my dear" in anger she sat down as she said "Would you believe what that old geezer asked me when I went to bribe him, he said I should spend the night with him instead and I am sure to win the design competition".
Her mom was furious as Camille, Ava's step sister saw her kneeling as she smiled and asked her mom why she was on the floor, her mom explained the situation at hand to her as she smiled and said some mean things to her, then she thought of a very superb idea, as she smiled and sat with her legs crossed in front of Ava as she said to her "I have a proposition for you, and if you do it, you have my word that we will give you every penny you want".
Ava looked at her as she was wondering what Camille would ask of her, however, she knew this wouldn't be good, then she to her "I am ready for whatever you want me to do, as long as I am able to save my mom" Camille smiled as she said "Good to know you care about your mom, now my proposition, you will have to sleep with the old geezer in my place" Ava looked at her as she said "I can't, you know I am a virgin" Camille and her mom laughed as she said to Ava, "Oh come on now, I know you are a whore like your mom and there is no way you, are a virgin so cut the crap".
Ava knew this was not the time to defend hers or her mom's honor as she was in dire need of the money for her mom's treatment, so with tears in her eyes and her head bent down she said to them, "Fine, I will do it", Camille teased her as she said "I can't hear you, what did you say", she sighed as she cleaned her tears and said to her "I said I will do it as long as you promise to give me the money for my mother's treatment" they nodded with a smile. Then she stood up and said to them, "When do I leave" with a smile Camille smiled as she got her phone and called the old judge and then they booked an appointment for the hotel.
Come on bro loosen up a bit, we are here for our cousin's bachelor's party, you are always so uptight and serious for your own good, Alessandro sighed as he said to his brother, "Okay fine, let's have a little fun" so Javier took his brother Alessandro from the reception of the hotel as he took him into the hotel's club. Just as they left, Ava arrived at the reception as she took her room keys and went to her suite to wait for the man whom she was to spend the night with.
At the party, Javier and some of his friends decided to play a prank on Alessandro as they drugged his drink so he would loosen up a bit which he did, but Alessandro was too focused that he held himself and led himself up to his suite before he makes a mistake, his brother apologized as he took him up but then he left him in front of a door as he got a call and then he left. Alessandro turned as he was feeling a bit dizzy, then he entered the room in front of him which was the wrong room.
He got in and then he saw Ava, the lights in the room were dim because Camille asked that she did that so the old geezer wouldn't realize that she wasn't the one, he stood in front of her as she gulped in fear, he could sense her fear so he stepped away from her. He was so dizzy he almost fell as she held him, he stared deep into her eyes but it was dark so he couldn't see her face clearly. She sighed as she knew she came here for a reason and she had to fulfill it for her mom's sake, so she took a step back as she took off her entire outfit and was completely naked.
Alessandro looked at her as he turned her around and pushed her to the bed as he made love to her, it was weird at first as he inserted himself because he noticed at that point that she was a virgin, but he couldn't stop himself because she was so good. For Ava it was a bit weird because of the circumstances surrounding her reason for being with him, however, she couldn't hide the fact that she was enjoying every bit of the pleasure she was feeling with Alessandro.
It was almost dawn and as planned, Ava got up from the bed, got dressed and left the room where she met Camille in front who was ready to go in and take Ava's place so the old geezer won't know he was with a different lady. She handed the check she needed to pay her mother's bills to her as Ava held it so tight with tears in her eyes as she rushed out of the hotel and straight to the hospital to make her deposit for her mother's treatment, but she was so late and her mom had already passed. She fell to the hospital floor with tears in her eyes as she blamed herself for what happened.
In the morning, when Camille was up, she was shocked to see the man in front of her, then she realized that there was a mix up somehow but who cares, she was lying on the same bed as Alessandro Lombardi, the Alessandro Lombardi of the Lombardi construction, who happens to be the richest family in the whole of America, it was said that their ancestors migrated to America from Italy and from generations of their family down to Alessandro and his brother who are the heirs of the Lombardi empire.
So she went back to sleep as she leaned on his chest, when he woke up, his head was banging as he placed his hand on his head and when he opened his eyes, he saw the woman by his side as she gently pulled her away, in that moment, he flashed back to what happened the night before as he stared at her wondering how on earth he ended up here in a room with a strange woman he didn't know from anywhere.
Just then, she pretentiously woke up and saw him as she pulled her blanket to herself, he looked at her waiting to hear her speak as she acted like she was scared and all, with a stern look he asked her, "Who are you and what are you doing here in my room" she stood up from the bed completely naked as he turned away and asked that she covers herself up, then she smiled as she took the blanket and out it on, then she said to him "This is actually my room, I was a little drunk last night when I came in and I guess so were you".
He sighed as he ignored her and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up, and then he came out with his trouser on and his shirt unbuttoned with his hair and chest all wet as he looked so sexy and dreamy, then he said to her "This never happened, okay" she was about to speak when he got his things and left the room. She smiled as she said to herself "Wow, what a turn of events, I don't know how you did it, but thank you Ava, at least you did something useful with that miserable life of yours".
