The Night It All Began
My car sped along the road, into the quiet and tranquil night view of Bell view city.
The quiet nature of the night seemed to further highlight my perturbed mind.
Tears stung my eyes, making my view of the road hazy and I blinked rapidly to keep them from falling.
The harsh words my father had said to me earlier rang continuously in my mind.
No matter how I tried, I couldn't get it off my mind.
My mind traced back to the events that had transpired earlier today.
I had left home in a rush earlier this morning.
My assistant Rose had called to deliver really bad news.
Fuschia corporation had terminated their contract with our company, Richardson corps
"Good morning Miss Bella." Lucy, our ground floor receptionist greeted as I walked in
"Good morning Lucy." I replied hastily, my heels clinking loudly as I walked towards the elevator.
On a second thought, I turned back to the counter where she was seated.
"Has my father reported to work this morning." I asked.
"Yes ma'am, and he looked furious too." She answered.
"Shit." I exclaimed and turned to rush towards the elevator.
He must have heard about what had happened.
The elevator moved up the floors until it eventually stopped on the tenth floor where my office was.
The doors opened and I stepped out, Rose was by the doors waiting for me.
"What's the situation?" I asked as I took the report from her hands skipping our usual morning pleasantries and heading straight to my office.
"Mr Williams assistant came in this morning with a contract termination letter and a contract stating that they would pay the required amount for the beach of contract." She explained.
"I tried asking her what had happened to make them suddenly want to end our contract with them but he only gave a vague answer in response." She continued.
"Seems like the rumors are true, they must have jumped ships. Oh God, how am I supposed to salvage this situation." I lamented.
A knock sounded on my door, startling us.
It was Lucia, one of the workers who worked in the sales department.
"Ma'am, the President has asked for you." She said.
My heart rose to my throat, and my stomach dipped.
"Okay, you can go." I answered, rising to head to my fathers office.
My mind raced with trepidation as I headed to his office.
On getting there, I opened the door and the first thing my father did on seeing me was throw a stack of document at me.
"How exactly did this happen? How did you manage things?Now look, our most important client just terminated their contract with us. I put you in charge of every matter that had to do with Fuschia corps because you begged me to give you a chance to prove yourself but like always, you have disappointed me. Do you know how much we would lose from this? How do you intend to salvage this situation." He yelled, his face twisted with anger.
"Dad, I am so sorry. I didn't expect them to suddenly terminate our contract." I muttered in a low tone, unable to look up at him.
He continued with his harsh beration for a while before sending me out of his office.
I returned to my office dejectly and spent the remaining hours at work absentmindedly.
When it was time, I clocked off work but had no intention to head home.
I was not ready to face my father and his harsh critism again.
It was also the reason why I was currently racing along the road with no idea where I was headed.
Soon, I drove up to a street that was brightly lit, energetic and bustling with people, unlike the quiet streets I had just driven past.
Where was I?
I got down from my car and headed down an alley.
I walked past a restaurant that was about to close for the night and stopped in front of a building that was quite energetic and lively.
Loud music resounded from inside the building.
A few young women walked past me and headed in.
From the way they were dressed, I deduced that I was standing in front of a club.
"Maybe a drink would help clear my head." I muttered under my breath and went in.
Music boomed loudly and a crowd of people were scattered on the dance floor dancing under the multicolored and dimly lit floor.
I headed up to the bar and ordered a shot of whiskey.
The cool liquid ran down my throat and the chilliness I had felt earlier disappeared.
It was ironic, I wasn't that much of a drinker but here I was downing shot after shots of whiskey.
As I looked around the club, a man caught my attention.
He was seated quietly at a corner of the club and he seemed out of place.
I grabbed my drink off the counter and walked up to him, stumbling a little as I walked.
When I got closer to him, I could properly see his features.
He was stunning.
He had black hair and thick dark eyelashes guarding his impossible sexy eyes.
"Hey..hey handsome." I said, my speech slurring as I spoke.
He glanced up at me with raised eyebrows.
"Would you like to drink with me? You look like you don't belong here just like me so that makes us buddies. We should drink together." I said drunkenly and sat down next to him, not minding that I had not gotten his affirmation.
At this point, I had no idea what I was doing anymore.
After talking for a few minutes, he turned to look me in the eye.
"Wanna ditch this place?" He asked and I nodded slowly.
He grabbed my hands and soon enough, we were walking out the club and into his car.
Once we were in his car, I drifted off to sleep and only woke up when he lifted me out of the car.
We had pulled up in front of a hotel.
He booked us a room and brought me there.
As soon as we were in the room, he lowered himself onto me and kissed me.
His lips were warm and firm yet so tender, making me want to melt in his arms.
I placed my hands on his shoulders, savouring the feel of his muscles underneath my fingers.
He roamed his hands around my body, his touch electrifying me.
My brain turned foggy from the pleasure that coursed through me and heat pooled between my legs.
He parted my legs, raising them high on his shoulders before thrusting into me.
My body jerked at the slick erotic invasion.
We soon found a pace and he thrust into me until we both exploded.
The rays of sunlight shining in my face woke me up the next morning, I sat upright and looked around.
It took a while for me to remember everything that happened last night and I was so glad that he was gone. I couldn't believe I had been so reckless.
I snuck out of the hotel, hoping he had disappeared for good.
