(Mavin's POV)
"Who the hell was that woman?" I stared at Sir Adam angrily. The last thing I remembered was sending him to get me a glass of water while I was busy going through my grandfather's will.
Grandpa wanted me to marry by force, but I didn't want to. I was the only child of my parents. My father didn't marry my mother, as he went on to marry another woman when I was young. With my mom being a stripper and club addict, Grandpa had to raise me all alone. He willed all his properties to me instead of my father and his wife.
I disliked women with a passion, as I couldn't believe that my own mother was filled with the lust and pleasure of the flesh, turning a blind eye on me and abandoning me when I needed her the most.
I am 29 years old now, and my grandpa wouldn't stop reminding me that I was getting old.
"Mavin, you need to marry, so as to have a successor," Grandpa kept on reminding me. As I am his favorite grandson.
Grandpa has other granddaughters and grandsons too, from his daughters and my father's wife, but he never looked at them like they were his grandsons whenever they visited him. He stated, "They're all bearing their father's surname, and not mine."
"You need to marry, Mavin. To give me a great-grandson before I pass away," Grandpa kept on saying to me every day like a national anthem. And this time, I was enraged, as that water wasn't ordinary.
I felt as hard as a rock, and I was really in need of a woman to have s*x with. I was burning hot, and the pain I felt in my member was immeasurable as it hurt like it wanted to explode.
"Adam!! I will ask you for the last time before I involve the police. What did you do to me, and who was that lady that I saw on my bed this morning?"
I didn't want to believe that I had slept with that pretty, yellow lady. The way she had stared at me this morning in surprise with her big, round blue eyes, admiring me, I was shocked, as I hadn't seen a lady with such big eyes before. The eyes looked so pretty on her face as she blinked at me like a doll and stared at me like a dummy.
Her skin looked so soft and pampered. I knew from the very moment I woke up and set my eyes on her that she was a rich man's daughter, as her innocence was so visible on her face and bodily movement.
As much as I disliked women around me, I hadn't thought I would sleep with one so soon. Most of my female staff knew it was best not to try to seduce me at work, as they would be fired immediately.
I haven't slept with a lady before, and I couldn't remember what happened between me and that pretty, yellow lady the previous night. I only remembered the time I had dragged her into my bedroom. I don't know if I had slept with her or not, as my head still hurt, and my memory was still vague about it.
"Tell me for the last time, what did you do to me, Sir Adam?" I roared at Sir Adam, as I was very angry, feeling the urge to grab him and hit him angrily for daring to drug me.
He apologized to me, "I'm sorry, boss. Grand Master ordered me to do it."
"To do what?" I asked him again as I stood in my sitting room and glared at him coldly.
Next, my sitting room door pushed open gently, and my grandpa walked into the sitting room.
"Mavin, what's going on here?" Grandpa asked, pretending not to know.
"Good morning, Grandpa," I greeted Grandpa first, as I was only wearing a white towel around my waist, and he stared from Adam to me and smiled.
"You can leave us, Adam," Grandpa said, but I quickly interfered, "No, Grandpa, I haven't asked Sir Adam to leave yet."
"What's the matter, Mavin? And who... was that pretty young lady that I saw leaving the house... earlier?"
My fist clenched as I heard my grandpa's question.
"I don't know her, Grandpa. The same reason that I have asked Sir Adam to wait," I replied coldly, and I could see Grandpa staring at Sir Adam pretentiously, like he didn't know what he had planned with our butler to do.
"Alright. Be fast, Mavin, as I will like you... to accompany me to the hospital today," Grandpa reminded me of his medical treatment, and I groaned, "Okay, Grandpa."
I watched as my Grandpa turned and exited my sitting room, while my eyes shifted to stare at Sir Adam's face again.
I asked him, "Can you start speaking to me now! Or else I won't hesitate to fire you this minute? Who was that lady, and where did you bring her from?" I asked Adam, as I wanted to know a little about the lady I had slept with.
I knew I shouldn't be concerned about her, but I still wanted to know where Sir Adam had seen such a pretty lady from, with her blue eyes, sharp, pointed nose, and how innocent she looked.
"I met her at our hotel, boss," Sir Adam said, and I asked him, "Which hotel?"
"The LX Hotel, boss."
I frowned, as I knew that was my grandfather's hotel. My Grandfather had literally seized all his companies, but he couldn't seize mine unless I agreed to marry and give him a great-grandchild. Then he would release his company to me.
I wasn't against the idea of having children, but having a good woman who would be a mother to my kids was the problem. All my past relationships had crashed, barely lasting a week or two days.
"What's her name, and which family is she from? I need you to find out more information about her. And do your research about her to know where she's from," I told Adam and turned to walk back into my room.
"Alright, boss." Adam turned to leave the sitting room, and I stopped him, "Wait, Sir Adam. You haven't told me her name yet? Didn't you pay her off this morning?"
The last thing I wouldn't want was for any lady to accuse me of râpe. And as much as I didn't want to agree that I had slept with that pretty one, with the way she was looking so red this morning, with very red marks all over her cheeks and neck, especially when I had swirled her around to face me, I knew I must have touched her the previous night and probably the one that had kissed her too, leaving all those hickeys all over her yellow-white skin. It was so evident that I'd slept with her, and the thought about it alone made my muscles harden.
"She said her name is Thelma, boss," Sir Adam said.
"Thelma who? How can you bring in a lady here without her having her complete identity checked? Where's the bank account details that you used to do the transferred payment into her account to know her name?" I asked Sir Adam. I knew that mostly the rich families live and occupy City B, and it was either the young lady named Thelma was a rich man's daughter or she was related to a rich man. I didn't want to think of her as a prostitute.
"Boss, I haven't transferred any payment yet to her account. As she ran away without giving me her details, and before I could get to her downstairs, Grandpa has already ordered Thompson to escort her outside to the gate," Sir Adam replied, and my fist clenched.
"Hmm, leave then and search for her," I dismissed Sir Adam and finally walked back into my bedroom.
I slammed my bedroom door as I wanted to take my bath. I had to prepare to take Grandpa Charlie White to the hospital. I stared at my white bedspread, as I love everything white and neat around me.
But my eyes fell on the red blood stained on the white bedsheet, and I gasped out, "Damn it! What's that stain?"
I rushed up towards the white bedspread and picked it up. My blood boiled hot to know exactly what it meant.
Damn it! I had to gain access into LX Hotel to find out what exactly Thelma went there to do and who she was.
"But why do I care about her anyway? It was a one-night stand between us. There's no need for me to want to see her again. I dislike women, and I don't plan to speak with her again too," I encouraged myself and tossed the white bedspread away on the floor.
I immediately called the maids' line to come and tidy up my bedroom and pick up the white bedspread before I went into my bathroom to bathe.
The sun was still rising gradually towards the earth's surface, and I hurried up with my bath.
