"Good morning, sweetheart." Nia greeted the man lying in the same bed as her as she stretched her muscles, but he did not respond.
He was still dozing off. His dark hair was gliding backwards as his nude back faced her.Nia recoiled instantly, after realizing that his hair was not at all like her boyfriend's, who she mistakenly believed to be on the bed,"Did Jeremy get a new haircut?" She pondered within herself.Still struggling to figure out how her boyfriend's hair had changed so drastically, Nia tapped the man in surprise. After a couple of taps, the man woke up, his face displaying stress as he yawned and stretched.It got really jiggy last night."What is it you slut?" He said, slowly cocking his head to look at an utterly bewildered Nia.Upon seeing a totally different man, her heart nearly leaped out of her mouth.Who was he? Why was he lying on her bed?She became aware that she was only partially clothed when she abruptly leaped off the bed. She reached for a pillow and covered her nether region while covering her chest with her other hand."Excuse me!! who are you? And how did you end up here?" She said, her eyes lowering as she continued to be astounded by the man's presence."Before you stumbled into my hotel room and started seducing me like a drunken harlot, perhaps you ought to have considered that." A disgusted expression flickered across his face as he spat.Nia then twisted her memory, trying to recall all that had happened last night, but she still couldn't unravel the wry situation.Nia's fiance, Jeremy, decided to throw a lavish birthday celebration for her last night, taking her to the "Emerald hotels and suites," one of the city's most romantic hotels.She arranged a girls' night out with her friends that evening so they could unwind, indulge in alcohol, and have a great time.Jeremy was obviously not invited because he was a man.Following the party, Nia unintentionally wandered into the adjacent hotel room, mistaking it for the one that her boyfriend had paid for.She had a one-night affair with the hotel room's occupant while intoxicated, believing him to be her boyfriend Jeremy.But at this late hour of the night, why was the man's door open exactly?"Look! I need an explanation right away because I have no idea what you are talking about." She said, still finding it hard to believe that she could enter a man's room and sleep with him in that manner. Even a mentally ill person would never do such a thing"Well, I slept off while waiting for the fucking repair man to come fix my door last night, then after a few hours, you stormed into my hotel room and began to seduce me. Gosh, I still can not believe that I slept with a cheap, hopeless vagabond like you," he said, pausing."Well, thanks for the nice sex, slut. Get your dirty self out of my room when you are done yapping." His eyes narrowed as he spat, shamefully staring at Nia.Then Nia turned to face the man as a thought suddenly struck her, after looking around and realizing she was in a totally different hotel room."So you took advantage of a drunk woman? Why did you sleep with me if you knew so well that I was drunk?" She attempted to defend herself, but the man just gave her a glare and showed no sign of regret, as he kept on with what he was doing."Answer me!!!" She yelled."Hey, I do not know who the fuck you are and I do not care either, but you better get out of my room right now because my fiance is coming to see me this morning." Furious, his face burning, he got up and headed for the wardrobe, scrawling through the clothes that were hanging up.Nia was shocked by what had happened; she felt her heart start to race as a sharp pain radiated around her stomach."You want to get rid of me just like that, after sleeping with me." Nia spoke as she tried not to cry while keeping a still gaze on the man in front of her."And so fucking what?" He said as he belted his pants and gave her a cheeky grin."You dimwit, you took away my dignity." She let out a roar and charged at the man, vigorously giving him a hard slap across the chest. Tightly gripping her hands, he threw her down onto the bed, staring down at her with disgust hovering around his face."You speak about dignity?, Even a street dog has more dignity than you," he spat as he went on.'Did he just compare me to a street dog,' Nia wondered as she raised an eyebrow in surprise."You are worthless to me; even the dust under my shoes is more valuable than you. I do not know why I descended to such a low level to sleep with such a filthy twat; please forget our past relationship and leave my room immediately, you harlot." He stated, glaring at Nia with a look of disgust as his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed.Nia felt a sharp pain radiating around her stomach as a million pieces of her heart broke. Did this pervert demon not feel guilty about what he had done? His words continued to reverberate in her mind as she sat back on the bed and sobbed."Sluts like you don't only do it for the money; everyone wants Nicolas Cage, so you should even be happy that you had a sexual relationship with me now take your excuse of a body out of my room before I do it myself." Nia continued to glare at him while her eyes were filled with tears as she tried to force in her agony, despite his words.Tired of seeing her face, he hauled Nia up hard, his nails digging into her skin as he clamped down on her elbow."Ugh." She let out a shaky moan and fell to the ground, but his hands held her tightly despite the excruciating pain.Mr. Cage then pulled her body, causing friction against the room's tiles.He then throws her from the room with her clothes and shoes escorting her and slams the door in her face.Her eyes started to well up with tears, and she began to feel physically and emotionally hurt with her elbow still leaking out with blood.She was still in excruciating pain as she lay there on the hallway floor. Attempting to go into her room, hoping not to find Jeremy in it, She tilted her head to the side and saw two brown derby shoes. She looked up instantly to see Jeremy standing in front of her.She was taken aback when her amber eyes met with his brown eyes, seeing the obvious disappointment on his face. He must have waited all night for Nia to arrive, and now she was leaving another man's room in her underwear. They stared at one another as a silence that pulsed through the air suggested that she must be a real slut in his eyes right now.Mr. Cage opened his door and threw several hundred dollar bills in her direction. His sardonic tone reverberated throughout the room, even though his face wasn't seen."I appreciate your service, bitch!"The look of disappointment darkened Jeremy's face the more, his heart started to pound fiercely, tears flamed in those brown eyes and trickled out slowly. His brows furrowed as he looked down at Nia's stunned face.Having given his kidney to save Nia's life, he never saw this coming, and now she had turned around and stabbed him in the back. He was too heart broken to talk to her at the moment, he could not believe the person he had put all of his trust in could do this to him, could not believe he trusted a slut like Nia.Nia knew it was over, but she was not ready to let go of the only man who made her happy. She felt bad even though she knew it was a mistake, Jeremy tried to leave without saying anything, but his eyes said it all, she instinctively grabbed onto Jeremy's leg as the force of his movement threw her to the ground.Then, with his hands stuffed into his pockets, he paused his motion for a moment, tilting his neck to face Nia and giving her a chilly look."Remove your dirty hands from me.""Baby, please give me a chance. I can explain." Her voice faltered, she was unable to let go of him. A searing pain shot straight through her chest, piercing her heart as he glared at her with disgust."Explain? Please explain. What would you like to explain?" He pivoted to face Nia, his eyes glimmering with rage as he beheld the shamed, half-naked woman clutching his legs."Baby I had been drunk. I thought I entered our room because everything seemed blurry to me—our hotel room was next to his." Her heart was pounding as she stammered, but Jeremy was not prepared to see her crocodile tears or even hear her words."After everything I have done for you!!! You had a kidney problem, I replaced it with mine, turned you into a diva, lifted you out of the grass, and gave you a graceful reputation. Without me, Nia Rose would not exist, and there would not be a world-class diva, public figure, or model. You took the courage to do this to me." Jeremy remarked, staring at her with wide-eyed tears in them as he expressed his shock at loving such a brazen brat as Nia."I love you, baby, and I can not live without you. What happened was an error that I will not dare try again. Please forgi.... " A woman came walking down the hallway, her presence interrupted her before she could say anything more.The lady was bewildered by the half naked woman she saw kneeling on the hallway. 'How can a woman be this shameless?' She pondered within herself."Girl, please cover your dignity. Men will soon be flooding this hallway, and you are showing off your pride." She jolted as she threw Nia a scarf."Take this, my boyfriend is going out soon, and I do not want those balls to distract him." She casted a disgusted glance at Nia.Despite wearing a bra, her figures were quite attention-grabbing, especially the tops of her breasts, which were very alluring.Nia turned to carry on their conversation with Jeremy, but all she could find was his far gone back. Knowing that her life had simply been taken from her, tears streamed down her face as her heart shattered into a million pieces. She panted slowly, felt as though she was being suffocated, she struggled to breathe, as she got to her feet, and attempted to get out of the hallway.At that moment, she witnessed Mr. Cage and the woman who had thrown the scarf at her leaving his hotel room together while holding hands. Both of them looked stunning, the brunette walking with a charming smile on her face and Mr. Cage wearing a black tuxedo with his hair falling backwards as if he had combed it with his fingers.She can not cheat on her amazing partner like Nia did with her fiance because she has the most amazing man in the world."Woman, put on some clothes and have some dignity." He spoke while casting a disgusted glance at Nia and acting as if he had never seen her before."That is exactly what I told her, sweetie, let us not ruin our day, just let her act like a crazy person."Nia had a lot to say, but she refrained from speaking, trying to contain her tears, which ultimately spilled out. She then fled into the room and locked herself inside. They both left.Five years later and Nia could not get out of her misery, the only reason she survived was because of her adorable angels, Stanley and Mira, and her best friend Nancy.She had just been fired from her job, which was her fifth in two months.Ring!!!The sound of a phone rang as soon as Nia entered the house. She quickly dropped all she held in her hands on the kitchen counter, to pick the unknown call. "Hello, who is it?" She said, using her shoulders to press the phone against her ears while washing her hands in attempt to prepare lunch for the kids before they returned from school, "It is I, Doctor Frank, and am I unto Ms.Nia." The urgency in the tone of a male voice on the other end of the line was palpable."Yes, you are." Nia squeezed her brows in curiosity, wondering what a doctor would be needing from her. It is not like she needed a job at the hospital; she was not qualified. All she could think about was getting a call from one of the many jobs she had applied for."Uhmmm..
"I will get it, who is it?" Nancy inquired as she approached the front door.Nia then entered the kitchen to check on the food; it was already done, so she served it and placed it on the dining table."Kids, come get it." She called, their small feet stumped hard on the ground as they ran to the dining room, laughing with excitement accompanying their race."Yay!!! Pasta." Mira rejoiced, her adorable face bringing a smile to her mother's lips, it was so heartwarming."A strange man is here to see you, Nia." Nancy yells from the sitting room, Nia then leaves the children to attend to the visitor.As she entered the sitting room, she was surprised to see a young man in his late twenties with three robust male figures, all dressed in black suits with dark shades pasted on their faces, except the young man.He stood elegantly in his expensive blue suit, his sky blue eyes encircled the entire living room with both his hands behind him, his aura was very gentle, but he appeared to be a litt
"Oh my goodness! That is the father of the twins!" There is no way this could be true. If he discovered who I was, what would happen? Would he still give me the job if he found out about the kids? He might want to harm them, oh no, this is not happening.' She pondered within herself, she was not aware of her mental freeze as she was astounded beyond belief."Hello!!!" Her train of thought was abruptly interrupted by Mr. Cage. Many years had passed, and he could not recall her. Besides, he had been too preoccupied with trying to get her out of the hotel room that evening to really notice her facial features."Pardon me, sir. I am Ms. Nia, and I-I was chosen for this job." Despite her best efforts, she could not help but succumb to the overwhelming urge to swallow her saliva, as nerves were glaring at her."Yes, it was me who asked for you, dummy, " He said, Her heart skipped a beat at his arrogant tone. She could still feel the sweat trickling from her brow even with the air conditioni
"What exactly does he want from me? He was done with me not long ago. Has he figured out who I am? The urgency in his tone was palpable, and he appeared angry. Oh, I should not have accepted this position. What will become of my children? If that perverted demon thought of hurting them, I would show him an image of a distraught mother.' Nia pondered as she made her way to the CEO's office, her face flushed with curiosity and her heart racing in her chest like it was in a marathon race. She could not hide the gnawing guilt between her brows. What if he knew Nia was the woman he had an affair with five years ago? Will that be the end of Nia? Where would she flee to? How would she hide her children from him? Of course, he would want to keep her quiet forever, fearful that Nia would tarnish his reputation, legacy, and everything he worked for. Nia's mind was racing with questions when she noticed a familiar brunette in her early thirties walking down the hall. She was dressed profession
"Aww, here we are once more. My time in this hellhole is apparently coming to an end now. It is time for me to find my children a secure haven." Nia remarked, understanding that she was no longer comfortable working with Cage Enterprise—particularly since Carmella was now aware of her identity. In light of her twins in particular, she found this decision difficult to make."Are you not supposed to work for this organization? You really appear to be homeless based on your attire. Carmella spit, her gaze circling Nia's gaudy dress.Nia was so self-conscious that she started berating her appearance by staring at herself."Since I started working here, there have been constant insults." Did I commit a crime coming here?'"Do not worry dear, everything will be sorted, I have warned her about her dressing and I believe she will change as time goes on," Mr.Cage said, disgustedly staring at Nia; he could not have his perfectionist wife see a bad dresser in his company."I don't know if your p
"A man, I don't think I know any man in Newyork." Nia stated, what man could be dropping something for her, she only got into the city just yesterday, and a man was already dropping something for her, who could that be?"Well he seemed to call himself Mr.Nobody. It's non of my business, here it is.” She said, stretching a box to Nia as well as a letter which said, 'Don't open until November.' Well November was still six months further, but why wasn't she meant to ask open till the date displayed? Who exactly was the man. He seemed to be playing mind games on her.“Do you know how he looks?” Nia inquired, trying to see if she could recall who the person was.“Well the camera's could tell you who he was, but would do you no good. He came as a butler.” The secretary explained.“Oh, well maybe it's not for me, cause I haven't met any man apart from Mr.Cage since I arrived this country.” She replied.“Have you looked at the name of the recipient on the box? It clearly states your name.”
Chapter eight (8)“I thought she wasn’t married,” Mr.Cage replied, astounded by the information that was conveyed to him.“Well the day I met her, she seemed to have been single. She had a friend with her, and also those kids as well.”“If she is married, how is that meant to affect me, it’s her life not mine,”“Sir, don’t you think that there is something awkward about that lady.” Collins said.“Collins, whatever happens in that ladies life is non of my business, if she decides to sleep with all the men in the world to have kids it’s still not my business, you gossip too much for a man.” Cage said, walking away from Collins, who stood behind him still puzzled on why his boss could keep such a person on seat.Meanwhile, Nia had arrived at the daycare, she had already taken her kids away while Mr.Cage and Collins were busy with their discussion. “Destiny, where are your friends?” Mr.Cage inquired.“A lady just picked them up a few minutes ago, dad.”Cage then stood silently, staring a
“I want you to start by explaining to me, where you have been since 1pm.” He inquired, gazing at Nia with rage and all seriousness wavering around his face.“I….came from a short break sir.” She stammered, her heart thumped so hard, you could almost hear the beat, at this moment, she felt like the earth should swallow her.“You liar….You better tell me what you went to a daycare to do today.” He furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief, he didn't really see her at the daycare, but with what his second told him and Nia coming back to the office late, he was able to put one and two together, discovering that Collins was actually speaking the truth.‘How the heck did he find out about that?’ She pondered, her face couldn’t hide the astoundment wavering around her. She then recalled Stanley telling her that he and his sister met a man that looked exactly like them, well, could it be Mr.Cage?“Oh sire; my friend asked me to help her pick up her kids from the daycare.” She lied, she knew that sin
