The night with the billionaire

At the Lobby of the Grand Hill Hotel, Jade stood donned in a red sexy, skimpy, long-sleeved gown, which she paired with a black strap heel, a black clutch and a pair of dropping earrings which matched perfectly with her silver bracelet. Her makeup was mild and natural, but she was the most beautiful girl at the hotel tonight.

She frantically paced about the lobby as she tried making up her mind to go in.

Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead as she kept pacing.

She was too lost in her thoughts to hear the guys whistling at her. Her actions tonight would either mar or make her...She desperately needed a sign to tell her what to do.

Jade jerked back to reality when her phone rang. She sighed deeply when she saw who was calling; this wasn't the sign she needed. Maybe her mind was already made up. She reluctantly picked the call after its first ring.

"Jade, you'd better return home. I can tell you he isn't worth it. Don't do what will destroy you for good," Her mother pleaded over the phone.

"Mother", She called in a quiet and low voice. Why was her mother making things difficult for her? Yes, she asked for a sign. Isn't this a good one?

"I know you love him, but you can't ruin your life for him. Jade, please listen to mother, okay" Her mother continued pleading with a teary voice.

"Mother, I have to save him. I'm sorry," Jade told her as her eyes turned misty with tears.

"If you dare, I'll break all ties with you. Your father will roll in his grave for your foolishness," She warned as she raised her voice. Maybe hopefully, threats might work.

"I'm sorry, mother", Jade apologised before hanging up.

Her phone beeped suddenly, and she opened it to see a text from Cale. It read ...

'Save me, Jade, you're all I have...I love you.'

She stared at the message for a couple of minutes. She has to do this; it's for the man she loves.

She put her phone back into her purse, took a deep breath to calm her nerves as she turned and walked towards the elevator with her shoulders squared.

If this sacrifice would save her love, then she'd gladly do it.

Pop music was blaring at the underground club of the grand Hills hotel. This was the most exquisite and famous club for the rich young heirs and heiresses in City Y. A place where one per cent of the one per cent indulged their selves in all form of activities.

Ever in need of a club providing male and female bodily services, here it was.

Jade walked into the club, which was reeking alcohol and other stuff she couldn't identify. She had almost turned around at this point as her heart began to thump hard against her chest.

Her head felt heavy at the sound of loud music wafting from the huge speakers.

She shook her head to discard every thought of cowardice as her grip over her clutch tightened.

She took slow steps as she gently pushed through the crowd and walked towards the bar.

"Hey! I need 3 shots of Aunt Roberta," She yelled to the bartender as the music was loud. She sat down on one of the high stools at the bar as she scanned her eyes through the club.

"Here," the bartender said as he served her order.

She turned and flashed the bartender a small smile before gulping down a glass of Aunt Roberta.

"You might want to go easy...on that", The bartender advised as Jade dropped the first glass and picked up another. She gulped all three glasses at a go.

"What?" She asked. She had missed what he said.

"Never mind," He told her, yelling across the counter so she could hear him.

"Hey, can you point me in the direction of a rich heir with lots of money to spend?" She asked the bartender, who took a proper look at her. He wasn't surprised by her question because he heard it every other day. He was tempted to reprimand her and advise her to go back home because she looked too innocent, even though she was dressed to look the part. He had worked here long enough to tell she didn't belong there. But that wasn't his business.

His eyes scanned through the club and gazed in a particular direction when his eyes found a suitable target seated at the VIP lounge just above the dance floor. Jade followed his gaze and asked, "Him?" as she pointed her chin at the person they were both looking at.

"Yes. If you get him, consider it your lucky day," He told her.

Jade looked at her target for a good few minutes before stepping down from her stool. She took deep breaths to calm her not so nervous self, thanks to Aunt Roberta.

"Thank you," She said with a smile as she paid him and sauntered to her target.

She slowly approached him as she looked at him thoroughly. She was satisfied with his appearance; he definitely looked filthy rich...just the right person she needs.

"Hey", She greeted with a nervous smile when his hazel brown eyes met with hers.

"I heard you had money to spend, and I'm just in need of that cash. I'll pay with my virginity. If you're not pleased with me, I will let you go... I'll consider it my bad day. Here's a medical report, I'm disease-free. What do you say?" She said as she looked at him anxiously, with an envelope in hand.

*CITY Y AIRPORT*

Jake strolled out of the airport with his suitcase in one hand and the other buried in his pocket. He had his dark sunglasses on, and he looked handsome enough to make heads turn, and the ladies ogle at him.

He was jet-lagged after a 21-hour long flight. He felt exhausted after working on the new software design for the company during his flight. This was supposed to be his first project as the newly appointed CEO of Acrosoft...a software company. He had been the president of the Company overseas in the last five years since his father died, but he has recently been appointed CEO since his grandfather retired a week ago.

He had brought the company to new heights even as the president of Acrosoft. But as the new CEO, he had to solidify his capabilities in the hearts of the board of directors and shareholders. He refused to be viewed as a usurper with no capabilities, even though his abilities already convinced them during his time as the president.

"Mr Jake", The chauffeur greeted with a slight bow before putting his suitcase in the trunk.

"It's nice to have you back, sir," The chauffeur said with a small smile as he held the door for Jake.

"I can't say it's nice to be back", He replied indifferently before stepping into the car.

He turned on his phone which he had turned off due to flight protocols. He smirked when he received a message from his little brother, Blake.

'We're waiting for you. You know where that is.'

All he needed at the moment was rest before calling the office. He needed this project in motion as soon as possible. He had roughly sketched out his ideas on his way back. He'd love to take full control of both the design and programming department till this project was fully executed, as errors and delays would never be condoned by him.

"Sir, are we heading home?"

"No. Grand Hills", He replied.

Jake had only returned into the country and his crazy brother was already on his case.

******

Jake had only stepped into the underground club when he heard excited shrieks from all corners of the club.

It seems the 'King of the club' has returned.

Jake made his way to the VIP lounge, just above the dance floor, where he had spotted his brother and a few familiar faces he was sure he has never spoken to before.

"Bro, Welcome back," Blake said with a toothy grin and a half hug.

"You should be home taking care of grandfather," Jake said, pulling away from his silly younger brother while Blake scratched the back of his neck.

"I have to welcome my big bro first, and grandfather doesn't mind," Blake said cheerfully as he took his seat beside his brother.

Jake had only been seated for a few minutes when he saw a beautiful girl dressed in a sexy red gown step into the club. Her shiny jet black hair flowed freely, which made her look beautiful. Her heart-shaped face was lightly made up, and her curves...were just in the right proportion, just the way he liked it.

His gaze followed her as she weaved through the crowd and approached the bar.

His lips curved slightly when she gulped down 3 glasses of whatever she ordered—one word for her....'novice'.

He concluded she was either new to this, or there was something she was trying to forget in the bottom of those shot glasses... whichever the case was.

He was surprised when he saw her staring in his direction, and her gaze met his. He was almost tempted to signal her over, but not tonight. All he needed now was a good night sleep, so he would feel refreshed to start working by morning.

He turned his gaze from her to listen to whatever his brother was babbling to him about, but he couldn't help but glance back at her. He frowned slightly when he no longer found her by the bar.

Since he had promised to lay down his old habits, then he should keep himself in check.

Jake was taken aback when a small, slender and dainty figure appeared before him...it was the same girl he had just been staring at a while ago.

He raised his gaze to her, and his heart nearly skipped a beat...She looked even more beautiful than he had thought. Her sea-blue eyes looked nervous than her body was.

"Hey", She greeted with a nervous smile.

He wondered why she had suddenly approached him. He watched as she brought out a white envelope from her purse and stretched it out to him, "I heard you had money to spend, and I'm just in need of that cash. I'll pay with my virginity. If you're displeased with me, I will let you go... I'll consider it my bad day. Here's a medical report I'm disease-free. What do you say?" She said as she looked at him anxiously.

He fell short of words and could only stare into her eyes like he was in search of something.
