AVATIA'S POV
Okay, I totally have no idea on why I accepted to go out with Mr. Black but deep down, I wasn't regretting. I now knew he was a dangerous man but IÂ found it intriguing working for him. He did not seem like the type to physically hurt people. In fact, he looked like the perfect gentleman.
I was not going to let Draya or Kenny know about Mr. Black's request, worst still, my acceptance. I'd just keep everything a secret. The problem now is mom. What would I tell her? I'm already tired of lying. She didn't deserve this.
"All done. We just have to wait for 30 minutes and our cake would be baked." Mom said excitedly. I smiled at her.
My phone beeped to signal I had a new message. I opened it.~Meet me at Adams in 45 minutes. - DMV~Oh my God, not Adams, Draya would obviously be there. I have to think of something fast. I start typing.
~Oh no, Mr. Bla
Avatia's POV.I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew this guy was loaded but $300,000 for 4 days every week for three weeks was just too much. I can't accept this. Mom would think I've joined a stealing group and robbed a bank or something. Using the opportunity that she was still fast asleep, I stepped out of the house and thankfully a cab was just passing. I hailed it and gave the black guy the address. He gave me  a 'that's- a -pretty -rich -area -young- lady' look but I was thankful he kept his comment to himself. I sent my hand into my clutch and held the envelope tightly. As much as this is tempting, I can't accept it. It's too much for me. I hope he's not gonna stay out considering he went somewhere else when Cheng came to pick me up. The driver pulled up in front of thefamiliar mans
Dreidan's POV.Once I saw Avatia in that sexy black gown, I knew without a doubt that I was gonna regret this lunch considering how hard I was now. My big friend down there had been having a hard time because of her. And to top it all, she was a moaning mess. I owned this restaurant but she didn't know so we were in a secluded area and got the most delicious food and best wine. I wish I was the food making her moan so much. But most especially, I wish I could take her right here on this table, fuck her so good she wouldn't remember her last name.Stop it Dre, she's not one of your fuck buddies.I composed myself and handed her some money. It wasn't much though but I knew she would appreciate it cause she needed the money. I
Dreidan's POV"What the fuck are you doing here Avatia?" I asked in a dangerously low tone. Didn't I tell Cheng to take her home?She flinched at my words. "I-- I came to, you know?-----"Â She stuttered but her voice trailed off as she saw Roberto's gun.I let out a deep breath. She wasn't in her right senses seeing that gun. "Step out for a bit, Roberto." Once he got out of view, I turned to her. "Why did you come here?""Th..the m..money." She stuttered. Her face was pale like she was running out of blood."What's wrong? Is the money small?" See what I mean? She's just like the rest. She wants more. Every woman in my life wants more.She put a loose strand of hair behind her ears nervously. That act was so damn innocent. My mind must be playing tricks on me.
AVATIA'S POVIt had been a week since I last saw Mr. Black. Ever since that incidence, he had not been here. The reason why I went back was to give him the money cause $30,000 was just too much and I honestly regret going back there. He had terrible mood swings that day. Earlier in the day, he was happy and made me feel pretty, then when I met him at the mansion, he looked like he was going to kill someone which I'm sure he did. I did hear him tell Roberto to kill people. I swear, that freaked me out. I don't know why I came back here but my heart just knew Mr. Black needed help. He spoke of a certain girl and I was curious as to what happened.Leo said he travelled to Italy but he'd be back today. That's why I cooked for him. Trust me, it wasn't easy convincing Leo that I wanted to cook. At first, he thought I'd make a mess in 'his kitchen'. Then he continued by saying the boss won't like
Avatia's POV"Arghhhh" I heard a male shriek which interrupted my sad sleep. I woke up letting my eyes adjust to the bright lights. Oh, it was just Kenny. And another guy which I presume is his boyfriend. Yeah, I keep forgetting he's gay. "How did you get in here Ava? I locked this door."I rolled my eyes. "Didn't YOU tell me you keep your keys underneath your rug in case I ever need it?" I reminded him."Oh, I forgot. You look like a mess. You've been crying, right?" He asked coming to sit by me on the couch. He wrapped his big arms round my tiny frame. "What happened sweetie?"A tear slipped out. Followed by another, then another and more. Have you ever been super excited to meet someone you know deep down in your heart you feel something for? And when you finally see him, he's with another woman. Obviously the one he loves. If you know how this feels, then you know how I f
AVATIA'S POV"So.....he's really good looking..." Mom said once I shut the door. Thank goodness he's gone. "I kinda like him better than your other friend, Leo. "I try hard not to roll my eyes at her matchmake. "Well too bad for you mom, I'm not interested in either of them."She frowned a little. "Well sweetheart, it's good to find love. You'd soon be 22 darling. No harm in trying right?"I wasn't in the mood for her silliness right now. My only concern was what he told her exactly and how she didn't recognize him as Dreidan Vaughn. "So what did he tell you?" I asked, treading wisely."Oh, your friend? Nothing much. We just spoke a little on global warming since when he got here, the room temperature was too high."That's what they spoke about? "So that's it? Basically everything you spoke about?"She nodded."So did he tell you his name?"
Avatia's POVAfter my conversation with Mr. Black, I had no choice but to come back to the mansion cause I had so many questions.Leo told me he was in his office so I walked up to go and meet him and ask him why I was in trouble.I was walking by the hallway when I heard Mr Black say something in Italian and his beautiful girlfriend laughed.I stood back and watched them. They looked so good together, it hurt to stare. He sipped some whiskey from his glass and his girlfriend took it and drank too.I stood there watching for about two minutes when suddenly my phone burst out ringing causing two heads turned to face me. Dear marbled floor please open up and swallow me already."What the heck are you doing there?" Mr. Black asked in a cold tone. Not harsh. Just ca
AVATIA'S POVI searched frantically for my phone in my bag and when I saw it, I noticed I had seven missed calls from mom. Realization dawned on me that mom was trying to call me when I was in the mansion and I totally ignored it because of the attention I was getting from Mr. Black and his girlfriend. Oh my God. I tried calling mom again but the number was blocked. I called Mr. Black and he picked up on the third ring."Avatia?" His deep husky voice sounded from the other line.I couldn't control my sobs. "Mr. Black, my mom...my mom is...""What's wrong with her.""She's gone. They took her away. They took my mom away." I said as more tears slipped out. "And its all because of you." I deadpanned.I heard him sigh. "Don't go anywhere. Do not call anybody, most especially the police. Do not tell anybody about this Ava. I'm coming over."
