CHAPTER 1
*I'm getting married to Lucia.You have to be happy for me.Her family's fortune will change my life.You have nothing to offer me,Daphne but I still love you.I want you to secretly be my mistress.*
Those were the words of her boyfriend of five years.
Those words reverberated in Daphne Howard's head over and over again.
She thought her family's background didn't matter to him.She thought he had loved her,unconditionally.Were the memories?Was everything they went through together so easy to throw away?
How could he do this to her?
And he had the nerves to suggest she becomes his mistress?!
His other woman?
His dirty little secret!
Daphne might not be a perfect woman but she knew her worth.She had great self esteem and would never settle for less.She had bluntly told Jacob that it was over between them.She would never be his mistress or anything to him ever again.
But the pain of the break up was still very fresh in her heart.She leaned against the window,devastatingly.She was in a cab when she caught sight of a club.
She sat up and quickly told the driver to pull over.She just wanted to distract herself.Do anything to get over this pain.
Daphne hurried up to the entrance of the club but she was stopped by two bouncers.
"The club's having a mask party tonight.Everyone has to be on masks."They informed her.
Sighing,she bought a mask by the side,put it on and walked into the club.She immediately went to the counter where she sat and order some alcoholic drinks.
She downed bottles after bottles,wanting to drink her sorrows away.Vaguely,she noticed a man sitting beside her.
He was also on a mask and elegantly sipping his glass of wine.
Daphne's drunk senses took notice of how gorgeous he looked in his suit.She instantly had a feeling that he must have a very handsome face.
As she continued to gush over him,she longed to be in a man's arms tonight.
Without thinking twice,not that she would be able to think twice in her alcohol filled brain,she got off her chair and staggered closer to him.
"Hello there."She purred."Wanna spend the night with me?"
The man only stared at her for a second and to her surprise,he nodded.
**********
Few minutes later found them walking into an hotel room.
As the man turned on the light,Daphne closed the distance between them,stood on her toes and kissed him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back,passionately.
As he took nibbles after nibbles of her lips,Daphne thought about how much she had loved it when Jacob kisses her.
The man's lips fell to her neck,sucking on her pulse point.
Daphne shut her eyes feeling so turned on and she had no idea when she moaned out a name.
"Jacob."
The man instantly moved away from her.
Daphne panicked knowing no man,even if this was a stranger to her,no one would appreciate you moaning someone else's name.
