Motherhood changed me, it made me stronger.Clara, Nick, and Ricardo come strolling out of the arrivals gate of the airport. Yeah, I dialed Clara and told her to come pick up Ever-Lee and keep her safe, I will come find her when this is resolved. So they made a pit stop picked her up and flow to who knows where. She gave me a be careful speech after realizing my mind is made up, I will not run anymore. I smothered Ever-Lee with kisses and shed a few tears as I watch them disappear.“We should talk,” I say over the phone as Lorenzo answers on the first ring. “Meet me at the office.” I end the call, I didn’t give him a chance to replay or to even say a word, I’m out for blood and Gustav is at the top of my list, but I will need help, and who better to ask than a mafia boss?I have a solute plan in mind the when, where and everything. Now all that’s left is the manpower. The only way this nightmare will end is to destroy him, destroy everything he holds dear, his company, his reputation,
The sun is shining brightly as the guests arrived at the grand estate for Tomson's sixth birthday party. The driveway is lined with fancy sports cars and limousines, and the valet attendants were busy parking them. As we walked up to the front door, we are greeted by a team of butlers who handed us champagne flutes filled with sparkling cider.I'm dressed in my gorgeous black gown Shane got me and Shane is dressed in his stylish pink and white tuxedo. "Wow." Shane's stunned at how many people showed up for this, but I'm used to it. Yeah, my dear friend, this is Vicky for you, she loves big events and glamor.Inside, the house is decorated with balloons and streamers in Tommy's favorite colors, and a huge banner that read "Happy 6th Birthday Tomson!" hung from the ceiling. The place is stacked with people I don't know, I scan the room for Vicky or Chad but they are nowhere to be seen. I spot Jena standing in the far corner of the living room dressed in a beautiful navy blue dress. watc
Three years have passed since the death of Gustav it went public but they say it was suicide, he couldn’t take the loss of his dear wife, Lorenzo’s mother, and shot himself. I realized then how much power Lorenzo has and I have to admit it scared me a little.Anyway, Clara and Nick got married soon after returning from Finland, where they hid from Gustav. They have a beautiful baby girl named Anika. Ricardo is very protective of his baby sister. Nick was a doctor without borders, which I did not know. But he settled when they got married, and they still live in New York, he bought a house not far from us and we almost see each other on a daily bases. Clara loves the peaceful life they created together and she’s a full-time mom now.Rayon is still in the picture though, he comes to visit Ricardo a lot. He surprised me with how a good father he is, I never expected him to be so caring. He is still staying in New York as well, he met someone and seems to be happy. I didn’t see her yet th
My name is Lilly-Ann, I'm a reporter for The New York Times or more like a detective. I uncover the stories no one else is willing to unravel. And this time a have one hell of a fish in the frying pan.We recently heard about this big hotel tycoon named Gustav Lenkov the third. He just opened a hotel here in NYC called the Starlux deluxe. He looks so innocent at first glance but the more you get to know him the darker it gets. Rumours has it that there is some bad shit happening behind the curtain, like gangster stuff. Human trafficking type of thing or so I was told. I never believe anything until I can see the proof. Several reporters tried their luck at getting the true story, but non succeed, they all were bribed to drop it, but not me. No sir, no fancy Gucci bag or Versace dress, will get me to back off. Now I am sitting here sipping his fancy champagne, waiting patiently for him to drop his guard.Starlux deluxe is 180-story high. With an astonishing view of the city. It seems n
The airport is stacked with people, some leaving for holiday with their family and some visiting NY. I make my way to the check-in point. A kind elderly woman greets me. “Morning.” I hand her all the necessary papers and start loading all my luggage.“First time?”“Flying no but Vegas yes.”“Well, have fun, enjoy the flight” She smiles politely. Sweaty palms, sweaty palms. My nerves are killing me. With my heart beating out of my chest and my sweat running down my forehead I take my seat in the waiting area. A group of big bodybuilder guys with black-on-black suits and that black shades pass by surrounding someone.It must be him, who else has so many bodyguards? I try to peek through them when they come to a standstill but nothing. I stand on my chair to try and see over the monster of a guy. That's when he dropped something and one of the guys bent to pick it up. For an old guy he's not gross, he is handsome, if you are into sugar daddies. Grey hair, tall and well not chubby. Mor
The hotel is a glittering palace of opulence, it’s towering height is visible form miles away.Stepping through its grand crystal like doors, I’m greeted by a lobby of shimmering marble. A sparkling chandelier and plush velvet furnishing the place.“Holy cow.” Gasping for air as excitement flares up. "Good evening and welcome at the Four Queens, how may I be of assistance?" A friendly redhead woman greets me.“Hi” I huff still a bit star struck, "Miss Anderson, Lilly-Ann Anderson." I gaze around taking it all in.She starts typing. Not before long, she hands me my keys, smiles, and bids me farewell.**** I found my room in just a few minutes, fishing the key out I unlock the door, “WOW” a luxurious suite awaits me, with a huge bed that draws me in covered with it’s fine linens and comfortable pillows. I rushed to bed and fall face-first. I take my phone out and hit the call button."Hey, girl, how's Vegas?" Shane asks"Breath-taking." Overflowing with excitement, I kick off my shoe
With suspicion rising and my curiosity clawing at me like a fierce cat, we hit the nightclubs owned by Lenkov. There is only three that I know of, Dragonfly, Club Cabana and The Red Ruby. I found nothing at Dragonfly or Club Cabana, but The Red Ruby is different from the other two, it’s more ‘fancy’, it’s a true spectacle to behold. The blazing neon lights of the club draw a never-ending stream of revelers to its door. The grand entrance of the place has a red carpet leading to the door and velvet ropes cordoning off the line of people waiting to get in. The doormen, dressed in a crisp black suits, stood guard like sentinels, checking IDs and maintaining order with practiced ease."Let's call it a night I don't think we'll be able to get in tonight." I let out a long sigh. Knowing this is the place I need to get into.Rosemary lets out a long tiresome yawn, "Yeah, we should come back tomorrow.""Okay, I'll call you, see you tomorrow then.” I call for a cab,"Okay, bye." She waves as

She fell head over heels for the charming eye candy. He promised her the moon, just to get another mark on his wall of sex. He was kind and caring, everything a girl wants, but on the same night he proposed, he hopped into the bed with Clara, Lilly-Ann's younger sister. Saying it was the stress of work and the planning of their wedding. With a broken her heart and a shatterd soul, Lilly-Ann broke the engagement. Unfortunately, he won't just disappear seeing him at work hurts like hell, she acknowledge the feelings she still has feelings for Rayon. He ignites a fire in her, like no other man can, they have a history, that won't just go away.***With only two days left, and only one lead. I grab my phone and hit the call button. I need some inspiration or just some advice."Hey, Shane.""Lilly-Ann, enjoying Vegas?""Yeah
