The Billionaire's Enchantress

Chapter 3

  JD’s POV

I woke up to someone’s body next to mine. I checked my watch, it is already two in the morning. s**t! I can’t help but cursed over my foolishness. I fell asleep and it was not part of my plan. I didn’t even have dinner yet.

What can I say, Melissa was insatiable in bed. The moment I got inside her condo, she immediately enveloped me with her hot kisses. I admit I miss s*x. It has been awhile for me.

 We ended up in her bed f*****g each other until we got both satisfied. It was always a wild s*x with her. I used to like it a lot since she can fully satisfy me in bed. I can’t fault her when it comes to s*x. She always gives something new and exciting each time we have s*x. But tonight, I lost that interest. I thought I would enjoy it with her like we used to do but something is missing. It wasn’t as satisfying as before. She is a very hot beautiful woman and any man can fall for her. However, it beats me why I don’t feel anything intimate towards her. Also, I start to get tired of her trying to compete in bed.

I wonder why I am thinking and acting so weird lately. I think I need to have a vacation from work. I have always put my energy in work. Then, that woman came who added more stress in my life.

I am so f****d up with all of these insane thoughts! I slowly pulled Melissa’s arms, careful not to wake her up. I have never spent a whole night in a woman’s bed. Not even Melissa with her s****l prowess can keep me in her bed. I smirked. I sounded like a f**k boy. 

I went to my place. I always find comfort and peace in my condo. I am all alone here except a housekeeper who comes every Wednesday to clean up. I can cook for myself so I don’t worry if I get hungry. I woke up late today after I came back from Melissa’s place.

I feel starving so I went to check the kitchen for any food to cook. I missed dinner last night and cooking my late breakfast right now. I made fried bacon, hotdog and three sunny-side ups and toasted bread with freshly squeezed orange juice. 

My phone rang before I could even start eating. Whoever is calling right now, he can wait. Just right after eating, my cellphone rang again. It was Ricky, the private investigator I hired.

“Hello, do you have any updates? Be sure it’s something really important this time. I am completely running out of patience with that woman.”

“Sir, I got a tip that Mr. Lawson will have a dinner tomorrow night with Ms. Sanford at Spiral Restaurant of Crestfall Hotel. The dinner will be at 8 pm. Also, I found out that the condo unit that your dad gave to Ms. Sanford is still unoccupied. However, the housekeeping section confirmed that there was an instruction to clean the unit. Ms. Sanford will move in this coming Friday.” Reported Ricky in the most detailed way.

I wonder what would dad give to her next. First, he financed her studies, then came the condo at soon she will be working in dad’s company. I am curious though as to what would be her first job at the company. For sure, she’s not going to be dad’s secretary since Mrs. Rogers would definitely feel bad if she gets replaced. She has been dad’s secretary since I was a kid.

Well, Victoria finished architecture and most likely she would be assigned in the Design Team in dad’s real estate business. Why would she study architecture in the first place if she won’t use it anyway? I can’t help but clenched my fist tightly out of frustration. The b***h just hit the jackpot. Dad is providing everything for her. What a lucky b***h! I can’t stop calling her names.

I hope dad won’t be crazy enough to get fooled again. Dad worked hard for everything that he has right now. He started in real state, buying and selling some lands in Blakeson. The business went well and he ventured into real estate development. Then, a few years ago, he launched his construction company. It was a great success. From there, he just keeps expanding. He wanted me to take over his businesses so that’s why he trained me when I was in my teenage days. Then, Bettina came and screwed up everything. That was roughly 8 years ago. I was 19 and I had one more year to graduate from college. I took up accounting to focus on the financial aspect of my dad’s businesses. 

After the chaos that Bettina created, I took off to the US to pursue my master’s degree. The rest is history. I came back 3 years ago but we never get to patch up the gap we had with dad. We see each other but we never mentioned the past. None of us would want to open those old wounds. 

I didn’t realize that my conversation with Ricky ended some minutes ago but I was still holding the phone next to my ear. 

Lately, I have been out of my head. This is not good and healthy at all. I need to face dad and talk about the past once and for all. And I need to talk to his gf as well for my peace of mind.

Later in the night, I went out to attend Jared’s party. He will be tying the knot to his long-time girlfriend, Nicole. The bastard is lucky to have her. They have been together for 7 years. Right after Jared graduated from college, Nicole became his girlfriend. I am so happy for my bestfriend. I can see that she is a nice and decent woman. They have known each other like forever. And the most important thing is they love each other so much. My friend is in good hands. What a lucky bastard!

“JD, you are unusually quiet. We each finished more than 5 bottles of beer. Look at you, you can’t even finish your first bottle.” Ivan was mocking him. He is one of Jared’s friends and a classmate back in college.

“Dude, shut up! If he’s acting weirdly quiet like that, then you know his problem has something to do with women.” Denver poke fun at him. He is also one of his good friends.

My friends are really crazy. There are actually six of us. Jared is my childhood friend while I met the rest of them in college. Ivan and Denver were Jared's classmates. They all took up engineering course. Then, there is Marco, my classmate in accounting. And the craziest of us all, Miggy who is Marco's bestfriend and he also became our friend.

Among all of us, it is only Marco who is happily married to his childhood sweetheart. Then soon, Jared will join the club.

“You know bro, those women at the bar counter have been staring at you since we arrived here. But look at you, you’re like from a different planet. Lost your magic touch?” Miggy laughed so loudly.

“I don’t think they are only staring at me. There are six of us here.” I smirked at him and shook my head.

“Why don’t you enjoy the party? This will be Jared’s last fun. Next month, he will be exclusive to his wife.” It’s Miggy who couldn’t keep his mouth shut tonight. The others were laughing with him but not me. I remained lost in my own thoughts.

I drained down the remaining bottle of beer. I was about to reach for my second bottle when I saw her. It’s Victoria Sanford in the flesh. I would never miss her in a crowd. I have too much of her images lately. What is she doing here? 

Of course! Why do I have to ask...to spend dad’s money. The b***h is spending dad’s money to no end.

I think we are going to meet earlier than my plan. I didn’t realize I was smiling until Miggy started teasing me.

“Now we’re talking. You got all that smile painted all over your face. I am sure he saw someone interesting. You’re back on track, man!” Miggy held his chest like he was emotionally proud of what he said. Such a moron! Everyone laughed so hard with his childish antics. I even laughed with them. This night is indeed going to be interesting.

We are situated right now at the VIP section of the bar. It is in the second floor. Victoria came with some friends. Their table is in the first floor which I can see her with my line of sight. I am studying her movements very well.

She’s wearing a white bandeau mini dress in black polka dot and paired it with white canvas low top sneakers. Nice taste. She looks more attractive with the tight dress hugging every inch of her curves. I like her fashion style. It’s not over the top. She is wearing casual outfit but still she looks smoking hot. Men are staring at her including me but not for the same reason. I can see the admiration from those men while she moves around nonchalantly, not heeding the attention she is getting.

Probably that is her way to lure men... looking innocent and demure. The men will get more interested with her. What a brilliant actress she is! Well, spare me. I know her true colors. 

Just then, she looked up to our side while drinking. For a few moments, we just stared at each other. I raised my beer and smiled at her... Game on
