Master Williams picked up a newspaper and returned to the sitting room.
Maria walked in, she was all dressed ready to go out.
"Leaving so soon?" He said picking his glasses.
"Yes, take your drugs in the afternoon" She reminded him.
"Can you go to Astaire's company when you are free and tell him we need to talk?"
Maria frowned. If there was anyone he hated more than his father, it was her. If he didn't want to see his own father doesn't it mean he was going to throw her out if she approached him?
She just nodded.
Irena, Astaire's mother had left when he was seven. Nobody knew if she was dead or alive. Williams had married Maria give months later.
Maria was Irena's colleague, so it was rumoured that Maria was already having an affair with Williams while he was still married to Irena.
It led to a divorce.
Maria had two children, Jayden and Leticia.
She hated Astaire but she had to mask that"He would forgive you with time"
Deep down, she wanted him out of the way. He didn't even show interest in the family business or in the company which was currently being handled by her son Jayden.
Astaire had his own companies and factories.
"I would tell his brother to talk to him" She offered.
Williams nodded. Deep down he still loved Astaire and he wanted his forgiveness.
In the car Maria was cursing.Why was everything always about Astaire? Why not her own son Jayden?
"Ma'am, where to?" The bodyguard asked after waiting for a while.
"The company" She said".
She was going to see Jayden.

Astaire returned to his office after attending a shareholders meeting.
Pope came in to announce that he had a visitor. It was Voeun.
" Let her in"Astaire collapsed in his swivel chair.
Minutes later, a beautiful woman gorgeously dressed in a white flowing gown walked in. She smiled showing off her white perfect teeth.
" Brother Astaire"She exclaimed just as she entered.
" Why are you here? "
She pouted" I came to see you. "
" Don't be such a baby and don't appear in front of me wearing a red lipstick"
" It seems big brother isn't in a good mood today. How about we have lunch together? "She suggested.
His face was cold and tense, his dark eyes staring at her. She was a family friend and they used to play when they were children but things changed after his mother left.
Pope came in " Sir Ferdinando''.
He was in a hurry to tell him something but seeing Voeun inside made him hesitate.
"Is there a problem?" Astaire frowned deeply.
"It's about........"
Pope gave him the phone to see for himself"That slut. She still haven't learnt her lesson after last night"
Voeun frowned. 'Last night'What did he mean?
Was he seeing someone?
"Arrange the car" Astaire ordered. He looked at Voeun and without saying a word he left the office.
She was angry. How could he just ignore her and leave!

"I don't know how to repay you" Polly smiled"This job means alot to me"
"It's nothing actually" He couldn't get enough of her pretty smile and simple look. Even without makeup this woman was attracting and beautiful.
She brought him to this tea house, that was the least she could do to show her gratitude.
"So you can resume work tomorrow"
"I am so happy" After a pause she asked"Is your elder brother married?"
He frowned"Are you interested in him?"
She shook her head"No, I was just curious"
"Astaire isn't a good person. He is dangerous and terrible and he is my step brother actually"
"Okay"
His phone rang, it was his mother. After he hung up he said"I am sorry I need to go now. My mom is waiting for me in my workplace"
''No problem"
Few minutes later she came out of the tea house. She was about to cross to the other side when she was pulled inside a car. She screamed out in fear till her eyes met his cold and dangerous eyes.
" Drive"He ordered.
Voeun was at the backseat of her car. She saw everything that just happened. Who was that woman?" She asked herself.
Polly felt intimidated as his cold aura spread in the air inside the car. Not even the soft breeze in the car could cover it.
" So after last night, you still choose to be stubborn? "
she swallowed hard" What do you want from me? "
" You like Jayden? "He asked, she turned her face staring outside the window.
" I asked a question"
" Why are you interested in my personal life? That night was something I wish never happened"
" Do you go around seducing men? "He asked coldly.
" It was just a one night..........
He grabbed her wrist tightly making her since in pain"Say that to me one last time and you wouldn't like what would happen next"
He released her feeling suffocated as he adjusted his tie. the feeling was back again.
The black Rolls Royce pulled over in a parking lot. He pushed her out then came down after.
Pulling her wrist roughly,he led her inside the big mansion.It looked like a castle from the outside.
He led her upstairs and to the bedroom.
"Please don't.....I would do whatever you want me to do"
"Don't beg me,I warned you before" The feeling was rising and he couldn't control it.His eyes turned red and the veins in his neck and head popped out.
"Let me go bastard.I hate you..Go to hell" Her anger snapped.
"I love this side of you.So aggressive,only you have the privilege to talk to me that way"
She narrowed her small eyes"You are disgusting and dirty,think too highly of yourself and you are nothing"
He pulled her by the ankle making her scream.
"Enough,let's see who would win"
He was wild and rough,moved inside her roughly making her wish for death.She was crying but she didn't beg.
She still had pride!
He had her once,twice and let her go after the third time.He carried her to the bathroom,she was unconscious.
He put her in the bathtub and filled it with water.
He went to prepare lunch
