Chapter 1 Alexis Autumn

Alexis POV

I sighed frustrated walking to a nearby provision shop to get a bottle of water to quench my thirst.

"One bottle of water please" I said to the lady, she nodded and gave me a bottle.

"Thank you" i muttered to the lady and paid

I opened the bottle hurriedly and gulped down the content disposing off the bottle in a waste basket i saw by the side of the road , i flagged down a cab and got in.

"Pearls lane" i said to the cab man

He nodded and drove off.

****

"Ma'am we are here" the cab man said jerking me out of my thoughts.

I nodded and got out of the car , paid the man and walked inside the house.

"Oh my gosh, i'm so exhausted" I whined . I flung the file in my hands on the center table and sank into the chair immediately.

My mom walked out of the kitchen cleaning her wet hands.

"How did it go" she asked sitting beside me.

"Same old story , the position is taken " I muttered

"Don't worry , you'll find the right job"my mom patted my back.

"When i'm old right" i murmured.

"Hey cheer up" my mom smiled trying to cheer me up. I only nodded, sincerely i was tired of going for job interviews and not been taken, not that i wasn't good.

"A messaged popped in your phone"

"I will check that later" i waved her off and made to stand.

"It might be an email from a company , you never might tell"

"An email telling me , I can't have the job" I asked

"Lex....i have never known you to be this negative" my mom said looking at me.

"Whatever" i murmured and picked up my phone.

I clicked on the message, it was a mail from a company i had applied for some weeks ago, i had gone for the interview and hadn't received a mail or message from them , and had put it on my usual *Taken list*.

"Oh my gosh" I screamed after reading the mail , almost throwing my phone away . I had just gotten the job and was asked to resume by eight tomorrow for clarification.

"I got the job, I got the job" i screamed in excitement .

"You see, i told you...so which of them did you get" my mom asked.

"The one in HuxC , i applied for it some weeks ago, i have to resume very early tomorrow for clarification" i said

"That's nice to hear, congratulations " my mom beamed.

"Thank you mum" i smiled and

gave her a quick hug before i dashed to my room.

I had a lot to do.

****

"Mum " I greeted taking my seat at the dining table .

"Where's dad" i asked my mom who dropped a plate of rice salad for me.

"He's not yet back from work" she replied sitting opposite me.

"It's late already , he should have been back by now" I replied worriedly

Dad never stays this late, I wonder what's wrong.

"Don't worry dear, he's alright" mom assured

I only nodded and we began to eat our food.

Soon we were done with our dinner. I packed the plates to the kitchen and washed it clean. I came out some minutes later and dried my wet hands with a napkin.

"Lex, I'm leaving" my mom called from the living room, she was dressed in her usual nurse clothes, hanging her bags over her shoulder.

My mom is a nurse in one of the popular hospitals here in Texas, and sometimes she had night shifts , that meant she had to work overnight, I was already used to it, but most of the time my dad is always at home with me.

"And uhm....your dad just texted to tell me he won't be coming home tonight" mom said opening the door to leave.

"Is there something wrong" I asked

"No "

"Make sure to lock all the doors and windows before going to bed, also switch off all the lights , okay?"

"Mom, I'm no longer a kid you know, I know all these things" I shrugged at her statement, she has always been reminding me of this things since I was a little kid.

"Okay , bye , take care" my mom added blowing me a kiss, which I caught. I smiled before shutting the door.

I sat in the living room staring at the wall, i couldn't wait to resume work,

'I wonder how my boss would look like'

Taking a deep breath, i walked to the windows and locked it, switched off all the lights before retiring to my room.

I closed the door gently and walked to the bed.

I lay on the bed , spreading the blankets over myself, i put off the bedside lamp before drifting off to sleep.

****

I jumped off the bed like i was chased in my sleep. I turned around and checked the time.

"What" i yelled getting on my feet immediately.

It was 7:30 am and i had to resume by 8:00 am , how had i slept this late.

I dashed to the bathroom to take my bath. I hurriedly brushed my teeth .

Some minutes later , i was out , i applied my body lotions and put on my clothes, grabbing my bag and sandals,I hurried out of my room .

I quickly put on my sandals and checked my bag to make sure i didn't leave anything behind, when i was sure i didn't, i grabbed my bag and walked out of the house.

I kept the key in the flower vase by the door . luckily for me, i sighted a cab , i flagged it down and got in.

"Venus avenue" i said shutting the door.

"Yes ma'am" the driver said and drove off.

I glanced at my wristwatch .

"Great" I muttered

I was able to pull it off in less than thirty minutes, well that was because i didn't have breakfast. I just hope i get there on time and not having breakfast is worth it.......

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

MY MASTERS

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay
4.9

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
