Chapter 3
In the hotel, the manager, of course, was bowing to Naomi as the new owner of the establishment, including the whole staff, filled with anger, jealousy and a lot of resentment for Naomi. She thought to herself, “That country bumpkin is our hotel president? She is really the woman of the Black Boss who kills people?”
Naomi stood up from her seat angrily. She was speechless during the whole situation, as she slammed the hotel documents Dominic acquired in her name on the floor saying, “I said no, I hate how you just bulldoze your way through everything.”
Just then, Jason, Dominic's personal assistant, wanting to settle the misunderstanding, said, “Madam, but this is a bit”……. But Dominic stopped him from saying anything further with the wave of his hands and placed his hands on Naomi's shoulders, wanting to comfort her as she wore an angry expression on her face “You are mine, and everything I have is yours. Let’s get married right now.
She became even more upset, “Marriage? I barely even know you. Why would I marry you?” “You want to know me?” he said, and snapped his fingers. His men brought all existing files about him and his personal information forward. He drew Naomi closer to himself, looking deeply into her eyes as he spoke, “My name is Dominic Reed, I own 80 percent of New York real estate and thirty-six private islands, and I’ve already told my lawyer to put your name on everything.”
She looked at him speechless in disbelief. Unexpectedly, he carried her into his arms, and “This man really is crazy,” she thought to herself. She was enraged at his audacity. “What are you doing? Put me down right now!”
Ignoring her completely, he took her into his private chambers and set her down on a table. She was looking at him intently, there was desire in his eyes, compassion, care, tenderness.
She asked him, “What are you doing?” His gaze never left her eyes as he continued. “ If you want to know me, I will tell you, right now,” He was unbuttoning his shirt now. “ Age 25, height 6’2, weight 176 pounds, I have abs and a handsome face” his shirt has fallen to the ground already now, he continued looking at her intently as he spoke, taking her hands, he traced them down his bare chest all the way down saying, “feel it”
Clearly upset, she said, “Let go of me!”
He paused before asking her, “Do you understand now? I have wealth and power in abundance. If you marry me, I can give you everything in abundance.” He lowered his eyes before forcibly kissing her.
Dominic Reed was completely kissed, savoring every moment and devouring her soft lips, he went further her ears and every inch of her body. Her body was betraying her by responding to his touch, but she found her will and pushed him away. “ Let me go, I will never marry you!”
“Don’t you need money for your mother’s hospital bills?” he asked. “If you just marry me, everything I have will be yours,” she looked at him in disbelief. “you even investigate my background? You are right, I do need money, but I’ll only use what I earn myself.”
He let out a short laugh:” How naïve. When life offers a shortcut, only a fool doesn’t take it. You think I’d fall for just any woman?” Noting he was about to kiss her again, she blurted out, “I have a fiancée.” On hearing that, he dropped her hands he was holding forcefully. They were both breathing and panting heavily now as he stepped away from her.“ I will give you one day, end it with him. If you don’t, I will handle it myself. ”
Adjusting her clothes, she stepped out of the room, walking as fast as possible before he changed his mind and grabbed her again. The hurt was evident in his eyes as he watched her walk away. On the way outside, she was not looking, she ran into someone at the entrance. Looking up, she realized it was her long-time and childhood friend David.
“Naomi,” he said with a smile.
“David,” she responded as well “What are you doing here?”
“I heard your mother needs surgery, and you don’t have the money for it. Why didn’t you tell me? We have been together since we were kids, we are supposed to face everything together.”
Not finding the right words, she stammered, “I…….”
He grabbed her hand as he took some money out of his pocket and gently placed gave it to her “saying, “This is the money I have saved. Let's pay for your mother's surgery first.”
She thought to herself, “David and I grew up together. He once saved my life when we were children. Since then, he has been my everything.”
Suddenly, David went on his knees, holding a ring in his hands. Naomi was surprised yet was very happy. This was David, her sweetheart, her heartthrob, the very man who saved her years ago………oh my God, this is like a dream come true.
He popped the question, looking very sincerely, “Will you marry me?”
