SWEET LOVE
CHAPTER 1
(The Devil of Pleasure)
It was just under an hour before seven in the morning. The faint, golden light of dawn slowly forced its way through the long, royal blue curtains that hung over the window of room 908, inside one of the most famous luxury hotels in the city of Dar es Salaam. Inside the room, the scent of expensive perfume mingled with the clear, unmistakable signs of a long night of wild passion. On the bed, the white sheets were twisted and tangled in every direction.
Stretched across those messy sheets was a young man with a breathtakingly handsome physique. This was Victor Mazanda. He was tall, with smooth, rich caramel skin and a face so striking that even those who doubted male beauty would look at him and believe. His hair was perfectly styled in a modern cut, featuring a sharp, flawless fade done by a master barber. His broad chest was decorated with small, intricate tattoos, each carrying a deep, hidden meaning. Even with his eyes closed, he carried an undeniable aura of deep charm and intense influence.
Right beside him, curled up like a baby lost in a peaceful dream, slept Hafsa. She was a beautiful girl with a stunning hourglass figure, glowing chocolate skin, and natural hair that cascaded beautifully down to her shoulders. Her lips were full and naturally lush. She looked exhausted but deeply satisfied, a clear sign that their night together had been anything but ordinary. They had spent the entire night drowning in a boundless ocean of fiery passion, exploring every corner of pleasure, living as though the world ended right there in that hotel room.
As Victor shifted, stretching a leg over the pillow, his phone on the nightstand suddenly burst into life. Its ringtone was sharp and loud, screaming with urgency. Lazily, Victor rolled over and reached for the phone without even opening his eyes. But when his gaze caught the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat. It was Kasim—his closest assistant, and the man who managed his chaotic life.
"Heh... hello," Victor muttered, his voice heavy with sleep as he forced one eye open.
Kasim didn't waste time with greetings. He jumped straight to the point, his voice tense. "Victor! Where on earth are you?"
Victor turned his head toward the window. The early morning light was already flooding the room. When he glanced at the wall clock, his heart pounded violently against his ribs. It was 7:07 AM.
And everyone knew that at exactly eight o'clock, he was supposed to be standing inside the Julius Nyerere International Airport, pretending to have just landed on a flight from Denmark. That was the official story his family believed.
"s**t!" Victor gasped. He bolted upright in bed with incredible speed. "I completely forgot... I'm... I'm..." He couldn't even finish his sentence.
Kasim let out a frustrated sigh on the other end. "My brother, what are you doing? You mean you couldn't control yourself even for today? Do you realize you are on the verge of being completely exposed? The airport officials are already setting up to receive you. I am on my way there right now with your mother. What will happen if we get there and you are nowhere to be found?"
"Bro, please, just distract the old lady," Victor pleaded. "Make sure you delay your arrival at the airport."
"Mmmh, fine! But make sure you are at that airport within thirty minutes. If you fail, I can’t help you. Everyone will find out you returned to Tanzania days ago just to party with your girls. Your father will be absolutely furious if he ever finds out."
Victor scratched his head quickly, his eyes now wide awake. He looked down at Hafsa, who was still sleeping with her chest uncovered, a gentle smile resting on her lips. He whispered to himself, *“Well, it’s time to show them how fast I can really drive.”*
Victor was no ordinary young man. He was the only son of the Prime Minister. Raised in unimaginable wealth, he was a man who knew exactly what he wanted in life, but he was also deeply addicted to pleasure—especially the pleasure of women. He once famously said, "If pleasure is a sin, then I am the devil himself."
Just last night, he had cruised out of a luxury nightclub, picking up Hafsa in his sleek Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, before heading straight to this hotel which he had booked for three consecutive days. Nothing else mattered to him except fun, women, and a life of absolute freedom.
Now, he moved like a soldier called to the battlefield. He threw himself into the bathroom, taking the fastest shower of his life. Five minutes later, he was fully dressed in a tailored black suit that fit him like a second skin. His leather shoes were polished to perfection, gleaming under the lights. He slid on his stylish GQ sunglasses and sprayed a heavy mist of Tom Ford cologne, leaving a powerful, intoxicating scent that lingered in the air behind him.
He leaned down and planted a quick kiss on Hafsa’s cheek. "If you hear stories about me on the news tonight, just remember I was right here in your arms all night," he said with a smirk.
He walked out of the room laughing and quickly dialed Kasim. "I'm on my way, bro. Don't even worry... Victor never misses a deadline."
That was exactly who he was—pleasure-loving, vibrant, and blessed with a royal charm. But behind his handsome smile was a dangerous game of indulgence, a lifestyle he treated almost like a religion. This race to the airport wasn't just about avoiding a massive family scandal; it was the spark for a chain of dramatic events that would soon change his life... forever.
Leaving the hotel behind, he hit the main road, heading straight for the airport. He drove at a breathtaking speed, his eyes locked on the road ahead while foreign music played softly on the car radio.
As he approached a major intersection, the traffic lights suddenly changed, flashing to give a pedestrian the right of way to cross the street.
But Victor’s blinding speed gave him no time to care. Suddenly, a beautiful young woman wearing an elegant white dress, her thick hair swept beautifully to one side, stepped onto the street with absolute confidence.
It happened in a heartbeat.
Victor’s brakes screeched violently, the car forcing itself to a brutal, emergency stop. The girl leaped back with surprising grace, but the cake box she was holding slipped from her hands. It crashed onto the asphalt, bursting open and scattering across the road like a dark stain.
The girl stared at the ruined cake with a sudden, deep sorrow. Then, she turned her gaze and locked her eyes tightly onto Victor, who was still inside his car, his face a mix of fear and shock. She didn't say a single word. Instead, she sprinted to the other side of the street and hailed a motorcycle taxi.
"Boda! Follow that i***t, fast!" she barked in fury, pointing her finger at Victor’s car as it sped away into the distance.
Without asking any questions, the motorcyclist took her on, and they began chasing Victor, who was still racing against time to reach the airport. He had no idea that behind him was a truly furious beauty—a girl who had just lost her mother's birthday cake, and whose blood was now boiling with pure rage.
When Victor arrived at the airport, he abandoned his car in the parking lot, grabbed his small travel bag, and broke into a run toward the VVIP entrance. He knew very well that this was where he was supposed to be grandly received, pretending to be a dignified student returning from his studies in Denmark.
But before he could get far—
A sharp voice pierced through the air behind him. "You!! Hey, you! Stop right there!"
The fierce, feminine shout made him turn around abruptly. He gasped in shock to see the exact same girl from the street. She had jumped off the motorcycle and was now marching toward him in a blind rage, her finger pointed directly at his face.
Victor stood frozen, completely stunned. The girl’s beauty was breathtaking. Her eyes held the brilliant sparkle of diamonds, her voice had a sharp, artistic power, and even when her lips twisted in anger, she was still mesmerizing.
"Are you insane?!" the girl roared. "You almost ran me down in broad daylight! And you didn't even bother to apologize? You scattered my mother's birthday cake on the asphalt like dog food, and then you just drive off in your luxury car?! Do you have any idea how much that cost?"
Victor clutched his bag tightly, staring at her as he breathed heavily, trying to process who this woman was. She was furious, but her eyes also carried a genuine, deep pain.
Yet, he couldn't help himself—he just stood there staring at her in amazement, as if he were dreaming. A strange softness began to wash over him. *“This girl is truly beautiful... but why is she so fierce?”* he wondered to himself.
The girl caught his look, and it only fueled her anger. "Are you looking down on me now because I look ordinary? Do your expensive suits and fancy cars make you feel like a god on earth? Well, you are going nowhere until you pay for my cake, and then you will wait right here for the police!"
Victor glanced at his wristwatch and saw time slipping away. Knowing how critical it was for him to be inside, he had no time to argue with her. He reached into his pocket, pulled out five crisp one-hundred-dollar bills, and handed them to her.
"I'm very sorry, sister. I am in a terrible hurry," he said softly. "Take this as compensation."
The girl took the money, stared at the bills for a moment, and then looked up. "Are these fake?"
