As she walked swiftly through the park, on her long slim legs, she knew that all male eyes were upon me. She did not need to glance up, for ever since she was sixteen, she had suffered from what she called,"" too much unwanted attention from the opposite sex. "
"I don't know how you can complain about that", her childhood friend and also best friend, Tina, had told her one day, when they were reading in the library at school. "I wish I suffered from the same complaint", and Tina sighed, for she was a plain girl and she knew it. Not for her the easy conquest; a boy really had to like her personality before he became attracted to her.
" If only you knew, Tina, how I wished I were like you. Don't you see that you only attract boys who really like you, the real, inside you? Whereas with me, they take one look at my face and don't care about the real me. " She also sighed and returned to her studies.
By now, she was quick at avoiding most of the straying hands that tried to touch her as she passed. She was in a hurry today and little beads of sweat had broken out on her smooth forehead as she hurried along the narrow path. She was wishing that she had not put on her perfect pair of shoes, for now they were soaked with water, and she was sure the leather on the heads would be scuffed up. But she had so wanted to look my very smartest this afternoon.
She had taken great care of her hair, and it was lying across her head, ending in little curls at the waistline of her lovely slim waist. She had put on her best pair of gold earrings, which her mother and father had given her on her twenty-third birthday. The bodice of her pale purple dress clung to the soft, full rounds of her boobs while the skirt fanned out in knife-edged pleats which swung as she walked. Her shoes were of a darker shade of purple and the matching love bag hung from her shoulder on a slender strap.
She glanced at the neat and pretty watch on her slim wrist, another present from her parents. Andi knew how lucky she was to have such good and loving parents. They had brought her up lovingly and always with care. She didn't inform Tina before she left home. " I would just explain to her when I get home,""she said to herself. Her watch told her that she should be at the DM Hotel just at the right time. Her racing heart slowed a little, and she patted her hair gently with her delicate hands, their well-kept, tapered nails void of all varnish.

He sat at the back of the car with his knee crossed over the other, resting his head on the car seat with his eyes closed, and he was like that for a while. It was silent in the car and the driver was contemplating whether to ask him where they were headed to or not. And fortunately for him, the ringing tone of his boss's phone broke the silence. He retracted my phone from my pocket swiftly without opening my eyes or changing his sitting position, as if he had been expecting the call all along. "Speak!", he commanded in my deep baritone voice. He was silent for a moment and finally muttered what seemed like "okay".
He hung up and dropped his phone beside him. He finally opened his mesmerizing eyes, one could easily get lost staring at his sea-rover-blue eyes. He raised his head and gestured to the driver to start the car. The driver finally heaved a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweats on his forehead before starting the car. "Let's head to the hospital first," he said, and rested his head again. This time, he didn't close his eyes.
He had the aura of a wealthy CEO. He wasn't a male model, but he should have been. The lush, mother lode-black hair he groomed so carefully had a rippling quality, a sign of his good health. The aquiline nose he sported complemented his prominent cheekbones. Handsome in an understated way, his basalt jaw and Spartan shoulders spoke of strength. He possessed a latent, leonine power and always walked with purpose and authority.
People had always remarked that his best feature was his entrancing, sea rover-blue eyes. Sloe-shaped, they could shine as bright as the evening stars when they were a-light with joy. At other times, they could resemble two liquid-blue pools of flashing fire.
This time he was dressed in a dark gray suit and one could easily tell that he was coming from the office. He furrowed his brows slightly and glared at his driver in the rearview mirror. The driver choked on his spit and coughed in the process. "Is anything the problem?", Tony asked his driver, his brows still furrowed. "No sir," Richard replied, his voice shaky and focused on the road.
Tony chuckled and rested his head back on the car seat and closed his eyes again. He knew everyone was scared of him because of his ruthless demeanor and his mother was not an exception. He was used to it and he somewhat liked it.
Richard sighed and continued driving. He wondered what kind of human being his boss was. One could not read or decipher his expressions.
He could recall when Tony was called from the hospital and was told that his mother had collapsed while strolling in the garden some days back.
His face showed no emotion, and he didn't even panic a bit. That way, no one dare step on his toes both in the business world and the real world. Oh well, ladies won't let him be because he's gotten everything a lady wants in a man, but this ruthless and arrogant CEO doesn't even believe in love. He would ask for a one-night stand almost every night, pay them off and warm them never to show up in his face again.
However, there were plenty of girls more than willing to oblige with their bodies and, of course, they did get what they deserved because he had warned them beforehand.

(Andi's POV)
I arrived at the hotel and headed straight to Damien's office. He is the owner of DM Hotel, and it wasn't my first time at the place. I greeted the receptionist cheerfully and the receptionist greeted me back reluctantly.
"Miss Williams?", she called, fidgeting with her pen. I turned back and smiled sweetly at her. "What is it?", I asked impatiently.
"I'm afraid you can't come in at the moment, ma'am," she answered. "Is he busy?, don't bother, I just need to see him briefly," I replied without waiting for an answer and immediately headed towards the elevator to the top floor which led to Damien's office.
"Jeez", the receptionist muttered and hurried after me, trying to stop me, but before she could get to me, I had already got on the elevator to the top floor. I grinned widely and took a deep breath. I hope it's worth it.
" Don't get too nervous, Andi," I told myself.
I got out of the elevator and headed straight to the office door, smiling from ear to ear. I was so eager to meet Damien because I had promised him I would allow him to deflower me the day before, but I was so busy, and I'm going to make up for it today. I want to know what it's like to be a woman.
I sighed for the last time and opened the door, gently peeping inside the office before entering. I stood still for what seemed like ages. I couldn't bring myself to believe what was happening in front of me. My eyes widened in shock and disbelief. I'm disgusted and disappointed at the scene before me. I rushed out towards the elevator in tears. I had just witnessed the biggest betrayal of my life.
My boyfriend whom I trusted and had been dating for a good three years, and my childhood friend whom I relied on having sexual intercourse!
I rushed out of the building in tears and couldn't even face the receptionist. She knew about it, didn't she? I should just have listened to her. Argh! Shut up conscience!
I flagged down a cab. I took out my phone and felt the urge to talk to someone, but I didn't know who to trust at the moment.
Not as if I even have someone I can call rn. Definitely not my parents. Tears welled up in my eyes and I desperately tried to fight it back.
Without giving it much thought, I told the driver to drop me off at a nearby bar to clear my head.
********************************************
(Damien's POV)
"Damn it!", I shouted, my face contorted with rage. " I thought you were someone I could trust, so this was your scheme all along?. You have the nerve to set me up, you snitch!", I said, fuming with anger, and rushed towards Tina, grabbing her hair.
" Let me go. I wasn't planning anything. And moreover, she didn't tell me she was going to show her ugly face here today," Tina fired back, struggling with me and trying to free herself from me. I pushed her away and she landed on her butt.
She gritted her teeth in pain, stood up and slapped me across his face. My eyes widened in horror as if I had just been stabbed in the heart.
"How dare you?," I roared angrily, handing her a punch on her tummy and giving her a hostile glare. " So you think you can lay your filthy hands on me because I've been having sex with you? I was just fooling around with you. I can never date or marry someone like you, you useless!", I retorted and spat in her face.
" I was going to deflower that innocent sweet girl, and you just ruined it all. You had better get lost and don't you dare show up in my face ever again! "
Tina laughed out loudly like someone who had just heard the funniest joke ever. " What?, so you didn't love her all along?. Oh well, I'm not a fool not to realize that and let's see if she will forgive you after finding out that you are just after her body,"" She said and winked at me.
" I doubt she'd listen to whatever lies you want to cook for her as an explanation. I know her better than you do. Now dress up and get out of my office!", I said, and wore my trousers.
"You just wait and see," she said and faked a smile.
**********************************************
Tina's POV)
"Argh!," I screamed and stormed out of the elevator, heading out of the hotel. I took out my phone and dialed Andi's contact, but she wouldn't pick up.
I hung up in frustration and flagged down a cab heading home hoping to find Andi at home.
"That girl!, why did she have to show up here today of all days?," I said to myself in anger and got into the waiting cab. I just needed to fool her as I always did.
She has always been my problem. I haven't liked her a bit since we were little. She's got everything - beauty, brain and all that, even a rich boyfriend. Oh well, not anymore, Damien is mine now!

(Tony's POV)
I finally arrived at the hospital. I got out of the car and moved towards the entrance of the hospital with a leopard-like grace. The nurses gawked at me and wouldn't stop murmuring among themselves.
I stopped abruptly and turned around glaring at the nurses, and they all immediately went back to their work and dared not raise their heads or say a single word. Not as if this was their first time seeing me in their hospital, but they just couldn't help it.
Good. I turned back and made my way to the VIP ward.
I once had ten nurses fired at a time because they said I looked like a god. I wasn't mad at them because of what they said, but I needed to put them in their place and warn the others while we were at it.
The other nurses had wondered what was wrong with what they said because I did look like a god, but no one dared to confront me and ask me why. They'd rather keep their mouths shut and do their work instead of losing their job.
I turned back and continued walking to the ward where my mother was admitted. The nurses all heaved a sigh of relief and started gossiping about me again. They can never learn.
I got to the VIP ward and entered. My mother was sitting on the bed with her back resting on a pillow, and she was being fed by her maid. The test results the doctor gave me the day before showed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and she needed surgery as soon as possible.
She had undergone the surgery, and she was looking hale and hearty as if she was not the same person that was rushed to the hospital a few days ago.
Her face lit up with joy as if she had just seen a precious stone upon sighting me. She's always like that and I really love it, but I don't usually show it.
"Dear Son, you finally showed up," she said and gazed at me lovingly. I didn't reply and just sat down on one of the chairs in the ward, my face emotionless.
" The doctor told me you've undergone surgery, and you will be discharged after two weeks. The butler will be the one to prepare your food from now on. You should eat well and use your drugs too," I said and stood up about to leave.
"Tony?", she called, and I stopped. " When will you bring a girl home? I won't be happy with you if I don't see my grandchildren before I die. And if you want me to eat and use my drugs, you should bring her home first and let me meet her," she complained and sat upright on the bed.
She's always like that. Always disturbing me about bringing a girl home. She once set me up with her friend's daughter and I sternly warned her not to do it again and she listened. She really did not like getting on my bad side.
"Soon," I replied without looking back, and left the room.
"You had better bring a girl home real quick or else I'd set you up on a blind date with some random girl and I know you don't want that," She said loudly for me to hear.
