" Nicole Nicole you good for nothing bitch I've been calling you for over an hour and you sleep here like a queen , what are you sleeping beauty ? " Zeta her step mother asked in anger as she dragged away the sheets she used in covering up making her open her eyes tiredly .
" Zeta...." She tried to explain .
" You good for nothing thing. Carlos will definitely hear about this " she said pointing her finger at her in anger whilst she tried to get herself .
" You better get ready and go finish the chores , I need those eggs delivered to madam geretta " she said as she stormed out of her room .
Nicole rubbed her face trying to remove the little sleep that tried to catch up with her .
God 🤦
She didn't dare think she even slept up to 3 hours , she'd slept very late trying to set up the eggs to be delivered .
And zeta had wasted no time in making her iron the outfits she was to deliver at the wealthy mansion she works .
Zeta had two different businesses , to deliver eggs during the day and assist in pressing the clothes of wealthy men , which was the job of her father , but ever since the man became a worthless drunk she'd taking up the job .
More like getting more work load for Nicole to take care off .
If there was a reincarneted devil on Earth .
She was very certain it was zeta .
Nicole wondered what her father saw in that woman , who always wasted no time in frustrating and making sure she remembered who calls the shots .
She sighed as she wished her mom hadn't left .
she wished she hadn't abandoned her with her father .
She didn't even know who she was , or what she looked like .
Her mom was like a forbidden topic because her father never even talk about her .
He'd married zeta a year later and zeta had a daughter with her dad katleah .
As for her father Carlos , she shook her head not wanting to even think about him .
All Carlos Martinez ever cared about was drinking himself to stupor and betting away the money he manages to steal from zeta's cupboard or her savings .
" Nicole " she heard zeta scream from the sitting room .
" Coming zeta " she answered immediately .
As she set the eggs in the truck , wondered when life would ever get better .
As she dust her stained hands on her black ripped gean and threw her hand towel on her shoulders .

" Good morning sir "
" Good morning boss " they continued to greet voice shaking in fear as they looked at the floor and didn't dare raise their faces .
" Cancel the meeting with the Landon's" he said as he checked his watch .
Sinfully handsome and drop dead gorgeous
3 words to describe Vincenzo morreti ,but all he cared about was his business and his laptop .
Work
Work and of cause more work .
He breathe in business and of cause breathe out business .
" Good morning Mr morreti " the man at the door said as he opened the door of the conference room .
The board of directors stood up as he made his way to his sit .
Sat down like a king and gave the signals to begin the meeting .
He tapped his fingers on the table ,as his calculative eyes roamed around the conference room .
.......
" Good morning ma'am Daniella how was your night " her secetary stroke bestfriend Celine asked as she dropped a Glass of coffee on her table .
" It was not fine ,had to attend one of those long boring business party with mom and pretend I was the perfect heiress all night , I mean don't people get tired of pretending to be prim and proper I'm getting sick of it " she said rubbing her forehead as she walked over to her chair .
She was clad in black sexy dress that looked formal yet manage to pull of a sexy look ,her hair in a pony and of cause red pointed heels , so pointed they could stab a man to death .
" That's what you've been doing your all life " Celine teased as she set her desk .
" Ya , I know " Daniella said tiredly .
" So ...any ....." She raised her eyebrows .
" What ? Daniella snapped immediately .
" Any dates ?
" Dates ? That's what you ask me so early ? I think I should decrease your salary " she said playfully .
" Who's salary are you decreasing ? Stefano asked strolling in .
He was Daniella's childhood bestfriend .
A dashing youngman buh gay .
" Celine's " she said smiling .
" I hope you don't die with just one curse she places on you " Stefano said and they all burst out laughing .
" So......" Celine began .
" So what ? Daniella acted clueless as she sipped her coffee .
" I just told you that you needed to have fun loosing up ,stop being a prim and proper princess it's so old school " Celine said frowning .
" Nope I don't even like hanging out with guys " she said shrugging .
" Or....you can't seem to forget one special guy ? Stefano teased.
" What special guy ? Daniella asked .
" Mr Marco morreti " they squiled together .
She choked immediately at the sound of his name
" Mr morreti seriously ? She asked frowning .
" Oh c'mon admit it that man is a walking Greek god " Celine squiled .
" Ewwww that man is a total manwhore and a flirt " she said .
" It's actually the other way around ,I mean you're gender normally throw themselves on him so...." Stefano teased .
" Mr Vasquez for your information , I've met Mr Marco morreti on many occasions that man is nothing but an arrogant bastard " she said angrily .
" An arrogant bastard that can make you wet in your panties " stafano teased and high five with Celine .
" Why are you both my besties again ? She asked out loud .
" Well because we're just the Sweetest tand you can't get enough " Celine added .
" I will say the last time, I have absolutely nothing to do with Mr Marco morreti " she said forcing a smile .
" Yet ..." Celine said and she threw her pen at her .
" Can you guys please leave already ,I have work " she said in a professional voice.
" But of cause miss Russo " stafano teased and she threw something at him .
They laughed as they left the room .
" Marco morreti " she mumbled with a frown on her face .
Definitely the last man she'd ever consider dating .
He was rude ruthless and the definition of sin , he was nothing like the prim and proper morreti's .
God the guy even had tatoos on his right arm and wears earinggs .
She hated people who broke the rules and Marco morreti was definitely number one on that least .
God and heavens forbid if she ever had something to do with that Lucifer .

" Sha Sha " she yelled again as she flip her red curls .
Goodness why couldn't she find anyone of those useless maids ? Lenora morreti the last child and only daughter of the morreti's thought as she put on her white teddy bear slippers .
" Ma'am " the maid said immediately she came in .

" Sorry ma'am I'd just get this ready .
" You better look for gloves cause I won't have you infect my clothes with your commoners virus get that into your thick skull " she said angrily and the poor maid gave a nod .
Before she could say anything her phone rang and she picked up .
" Hello I'm still at home " she said as she catwalked outside .
Shasha watched lenora's Round butts ,the rich heiress was in just a black t shirt that ended after her butts and teddy slippers didn't even put on her bra.
Her hair in long curls as she swayed her ass .
Lenora morreti was a goddess of beauty .
With a very black personality .
Well she couldn't exactly blame the innocent girl , growing in such a toxic environment tends to have such effects on kids .
🎶You are the sunshine of my days 🎶
🎶I love you 🎶
🎶Dance with me 🎶
Manuel sang as he played the guiter whilst singing for his Grandfather who's her wheelchair .

The assistant chefs watched in fascination as their boss , cut and slice the different vegetables and ingridients he needed to prepare what he was making with ease and grace .
He hadn't said anything as he worked with concentration .
He wasn't exactly the type that talked much ,buh he was definitely the Lucifer himself in his dealings .
He's also the owner of a few nightclubs and of cause a casino .
He had a very amazing physic , luscious hair , green hazel eyes and a drop dead gorgeous face .
Yet a ruthless man .
Marco frowned as his phone rang out in his pocket .
It was a call from his grandfather .
He ignored it and focused on his cooking .
He turned to his right and gave a nod at his assistant to check the dish before checking the text message that just entered .
