Bella's heart broke at the thought that he would asked her such a question.
"I'm not lying to you." She looked at him straight in the eye. Sh wouldn't blame him entirely if he was still doubting her. She had lied to him about being a waitress because she didn't want to have to recount how she got in. "I'm telling you the truth, I came here purposely to see you." It's was embarrassing enough recounting how she had stalked him for weeks."Okay fine," he said looking at her so deeply. "Going forward, I'll appreciate if you're honest with me. That would help fix the broken trust between us."Bella nodded. "I promise, I will." She took another bite calm her nervousness."I never forget a face I'd come across before and you," Arthur pointing to her. "Had never crossed my path not even in my dreams. So why are you here to see me?""It's complicated." She said almost choking on her food."Take it easy, we could push our conversation until you're done eating."Bella quickly gulped down the juice in the cup that was placed in her front. "I 'm fine.""I bet it is complicated seeing how you gate crashed my party and breached my security. Not everyone can do that Miss." He clapped his hands together. "And that is very commendable if you ask me, now that you have my attention, what do you want from me?Bella had previously thought that her greatest challenge was for her to gain entrance, she haven't really thought of how to seduce Arthur. And now that she was right here with him, it's seems to her, she was yet to conquer her biggest hurdle.She suddenly became aware of the cheap make up she'd earlier applied on knowing fully well she did a below average job putting it on as she has never wore one before.Few hours ago, Bella was so sure she had what it takes to bed a powerful man as Arthur Lorenzo is. Right she had lost all her confidence and was sure, if she opened her mouth to state her mission, she would be faced with a greater embarrassment with absolutely no hiding place to run to. In a glance, her eyes travelled to door, she instantly reminded herself she stood no chance of leaving except he allowed her.Arthur followed her eyes. "I don't think you're willing to accept my gentleman's offer." He shook his head. "Even now, you're still thinking of running away. Does my house look like some sort of playground or an Olympic center?" He asked as he was completely out of patience with her.Arthur stood up from his seat and Bella quickly dropped the slice of pancake she had eaten half way into the tray."I'll have to handle you to the security unit to scrutinize you. I believe I had been gentle and polite in my approach to you. If you can't tell me the reason you disguised yourself as a waitress just to get in here. I'm sorry I can't believe another word of yours." He walked towards the landline he has used some moment back."Hello, there is an intruder in my quarters, send me some security personnels. Do this discreetly to avoiding startling our guest.""What are you doing?" Bella raised her voice."Mind your manners woman, right now, you're in my quarters and I'm afraid they will be here in few seconds from now. Except you start talking and wasting my precious time, you'll have to be drilled and grilled by them and trust me, they treat both men and women alike without preferential treatments."They locked eyes again, this time it was longer than the first. A knock of the door interrupted their staring competition. Bella's eyes were instantly filled with fears. She had not envisaged this could be happening. He felt pity towards her. She was like a child that has been caught stealing red handed and didn't know what to do."Oh finally, your new hosts are here." He made to reach out for the door, as he walks to the door, he had a change of mind. She had been keeping his company since they meet at the hallway. He was going to grill her himself. He had barely reached for the door when Bella said something he wasn't sure he has heard correctly. He turned around slightly to face her amidst the consistent knocking that was on the other side of the door."I beg your pardon," he said blinking his eyes. "Can you come again? I don't think I heard you correctly."Bella's face flushed with embarrassment a she looked down."Boss, are you okay in there?. We are breaking in at the count of three." A man from the other side of the door said with a loud voice. "One, two.."Bella knew her end had come, she regretted coming to Lorenzo's mansion in the first place. How worse can one night get?"Three." And the door was opened."Are you alright boss?" A man smartly dressed in suit and could easily pass as the end of the security team asked before turning to her. He was broadly built and fit, he lead the team into the room, their presence made her timid. Bella thought of how this men would rough handle her if she was left at their mercy."Oh you're here Edward, sorry to bother you but I think I was mistaken for a moment, as you can see, it's just me and my honourable guest." He moved towards her, wrapped his arms around her waist for the second time that night. He felt her stiffened as he touched her, he move his face towards hers, she tried to pull away, her heart was beating heavily and his breath brush through her ears making her week to her knees. "Relax, you don't want to give yourself away."The security team noticed how cozy they were and of course, they will be needing their privacy. Edward signaled to others to put their weapons away. They did with immediate effect.Sorry to startled you ma'am." Edwards turned to Arthur. "Boss, I'll leave two men at the door to ensure your safety." He signalled to others and they took their leave."Oh that was close." She quickly disengaged herself from him. She feared that she might be caught drooling at his handsome face."You have me to thank for saving your ass I guess.""Thank you""You're welcome, at least as against your burglary skills, you're a grateful person."Bella looked at him so hard without saying a word.Ignoring the look on her face. " So hmmmm, you were saying something about being my women?""Yes." Bella's answered sluggishly."What makes you think I lack women and I would accept your offer?""I know I have an ordinary look but trust me, I'm a decent person and I'm here for an exchange."Arthur raised his eyebrow. "What could you possibly offer me that I can't get elsewhere?""My virginity and of course my womb.""What?" Arthur found himself rolling his eyes in an unexpected manner before bursting out into a loud thick laughter. "Wait a minute? You came here to offer me your virginity and womb, isn't that a subtle way of telling me to marry you?""Of course not, You probably won't father a child with the terrain of girls at your beck and call." She walked towards him as she slowly gained her confidence. "And I can be your surrogate mother, of course it isn't for free and it's isn't cheap.""Unfortunately Miss, I'm not interested in your offer.""You do not have what it takes to appeal to me in a sensual way." He wanted to pick his words carefully but at the same time, he didn't want to be soft on her. "You probably know my spec of women and you darling are not in any way in their league."His word stung her heart but she beared it, she wouldn't be here without a reason and there was no way she was going to tell him the real reason why she willingly to sell her body to him.Arthur was not done yet. "And besides, I get to decide on who becomes my women, my women don't have the luxury of coming to me at will just because they want me" "So you're saying I just conquered your routine?" She asked founding her voice. She was looking him with so emotions written on her face and she saw his eyes flickered. She found him so cute. "I'm saying you took a dangerous and foolish step, I might harm you and nothing will happen you know." He caught her staring at him suspiciously."Yes I know it was dangerous but it was my decision to take t
Bella's cheeks burned the moment she processed the words that had left Arthur's lips. She shifted forward on the couch and was about to say something to him, anything when he stepped out of the bathroom with a warm towel in his hands. Like a child bewitched by a witch, she watched as he sat beside her, his body letting off a considerable amount of warmth and heating her. He grabbed one of her stockings-clad legs and Bella could only grimace at the cheap stockings she had on. They were already letting out hair, but a woman in her situation can only afford so much. But she didn't care. She had won and Arthur was going to take her offer. She was about to ask what he was about to do when she watched in horror as he tore her stockings off and placed the warm wet rag underneath her feet."Ahh!" Bella let out a satisfied breath the moment the soothing effect of the massage took effect."I see that you like it. Well, Arthur Lorenzo's woman doesn't go about with bruised feet. You should take
The two of them stepped out of the room, Bella walking as majestically as her heels would let her. She wasn't great at walking in heels, but tonight had given her enough practice. Arthur was slow and considerate and she was so glad to finally be this man's woman. Well, her joy increased from knowing that she would soon have the money for her brother’s treatment. That was her aim after all.The moment they arrived at the party arena, Bella’s cheeks curved in a smile as she watched everyone freeze as they watched them walk down the aisle. The music was still playing in decibels, but all eyes were on them and Bella was enjoying the attention. If this was what it meant to Authur Lorenzo’s woman, then she could do every bit of it and enjoy it. Without an iota of attention to the people who had frozen to watch them, Arthur led her to a pair of gold-plated steel doors that were manned by two hefty men. Despite the size and power of the bouncers, Arthur was still more enigmatic than the two
Arthur felt his body stiffened as they neared his bedroom. He had never been with a virgin before, well, not that he couldn’t afford to be with one, but his code of honor just wasn’t going to let that happen. He was a man and he had to treat every woman and child he came across right. If he had just done that earlier in his life, maybe his life would have been much better. But there was no time to start feeling so sorry for himself. He had come far in life and he was going to enjoy the benefits that his money gave him. And, he wasn’t forcing himself on Bella. She had made an offering he was more than willing to accept. “Umm, I think I need to use the bathroom,” Bella said the moment he ushered her back into his bedroom. He didn’t know why he had brought her back to his bedroom, but his brain reminded him that he had already agreed that there was just something so different about her. She was innocent and pure and there was no way she could taint his bedroom. “Okay fine.” He pointed
Bella looked. She couldn’t help but look and when she did, the breath left her. He was huge, too huge, better than what she had seen in pictures. “Bella, you can do this,” She reminded herself without taking her eyes off him.It wasn’t her first time seeing one, but this was the first time she was certain it was going into her. She felt Arthur's gaze on her and she raised her head, trying to figure out how this was going to work. Arthur’s heart broke the moment he saw the look in her eyes. She was young and innocent, maybe too innocent and he didn't want to do this if he wasn't sure that she really wanted to. She was definitely more than eighteen years old and old enough to make decisions for herself, but he suddenly had the compulsion to protect her with everything he had. With so much willpower, he tore his eyes off the young girl and bent to pick up his briefs. He hated himself for doing this, but then, he prided himself on being a man of honor. He wasn't going to just have sex
Arthur watched with a smile as the woman jumped in fear at his voice. Ah, so she could be frightened by just creeping up on her in his bedroom. It was just ironic that he had first met up with her when she was going about creeping into his house. "Good morning." She said when the initial shock had worn off."Good morning." He replied and waved the contract in her face before he dropped it on the side table. He took out a pen and handed it to her. "All I need for you to do is to read through it and sign it." Bella didn't care to read it. She was just too excited that she grabbed the pen from the man and without taking any cursory glance at the document, went ahead to sign on the places where her signature was needed. Hopefully, he make love to her right now and she will get the money to take care of her brother. "I said to go through it," Arthur said with amused annoyance."Well, I believe you aren't going to hurt me, to be honest. Now, can we get down to business?" She asked noddin
Arthur lay motionless beside her. He couldn’t explain the burst of feelings and emotions that had overwhelmed him the moment he spilled his seed inside of her. She had been tight and warm and as much as he tried to make it memorable for her, it had ended up being so wonderful for him. He wondered if he should have more of this type of sex from now henceforth. It seems being interested in giving a woman her pleasure was more pleasurable than using the women who presented themselves to him. He craned his head and was met by her pretty face. Her eyes were closed and her features were well placed and at peace. She looked so beautiful and he wondered why he had never noticed just how beautiful she was. Maybe it was because he had been so interested in punishing her for sneaking into his house than anything else well, her beauty was sneaking up on him now. Letting out a tired groan, he climbed off the bed and drew the duvet over her. She looked so pretty on his bed as if she belonged th
Bella arrived at her small apartment on the other side of town and took the rickety stairs two at a time. It continued to squeak under her feet, but Bella wasn’t concerned about it giving way under her weight. Her thoughts were simply on her brother so she hasten her steps. While in the taxi, she had tried his phone multiple times and he was yet to take any of her calls. They had all gone to voicemail and she was so worried. She hadn’t seen her brother for two days and she feared that the worst had happened. “James, please be okay.” She begged as she approached her apartment door. As soon as she arrived at the door, she pushed her key in and flung the door open. The room was so small that the moment she got in, she was hit with a weird sense of claustrophobia. Heck, she had lived here for a long time and it was only taking two days at Arthur’s mansion for her to feel just how small her space was. “James?” She called out as she entered the small cubicle, they called a room. It was
