The ray of sunlight shone on his face, and he squeezed his face, before opening his eyes, then he rolled himself on the bed, before getting up.
He was just waking up from sleep, but it didn't look like he just woke up, because his handsomeness was something anyone will write home about. His name is Vincent Moore, he is just twenty-six years old and yet he was already a billionaire of his own.
He has a sugar company and it's growing abundantly. Vincent got up from the bed and he could feel his head pounding and he didn't need anyone to tell him it was as a result of how he drank and partied last night.
He went straight to the bathroom to wash his face and when he looked at himself in the mirror, he smiled. He knew he was extremely handsome.
"Good Morning bad boy" He said to himself, taking off his shirt and his tattoos came into view. He has a compass tattoo on the left side of his stomach, and an eagle wings tattoo on his chest. His six abs didn't hesitate to make a show off and his chest was something you'd sleep on for a perfect good night sleep. Talking about his hair, he always weaves his hair, which always brings out the baddie in him.
Everything about Vincent was perfect, he has the money, the looks and everything any girl would want in a man, but the big problem about Vincent is that he is not serious. Apart from his company, he takes everything as a joke, most especially his love life.
He doesn't even have one to begin with, cuz he is not interested in dating, and only focuses on having a one night stand with ladies who threw themselves at him. Vincent came downstairs after he was done having his bath. He was wearing loose joggers and a big black shirt. His diamond earrings were on his ears doing its work. He came downstairs and met his Aunt and cousin sitting on the dining table eating. He sighed and stuck his hands inside the pocket of his loose joggers.
"Since when did this place become your house?" He asked.
"Is that how you say good morning to your Aunt?" Snow asked in return. She might be his aunt, but Vincent sees her as his mom. Snow was the one who raised Vincent, cuz his mom died after he was born, and his dad... he has no knowledge about him or what he looks like.
"Don't mind him mom, he has grown tall" Jovita said sticking out her tongue for Vincent. Even though she is his cousin, Vincent doesn't joke with her, he considers her as his sister and always gives her what she wants.
"Good morning Auntie" He finally greeted with a smile, and ruffled Jovita's hair. "Really Vincent?"
"C'mon Auntie, don't start the morning with a bad energy" He kissed her cheek before sitting beside her.
"My head hurts"
"Why won't it hurt, when you were busy partying all night. Do your employees know that their boss is a drunkard?" Snow asked giving him a hangover drink. Vincent gulped it down before talking.
"What's life without having fun? Life is too short, so enjoy it while you still have a chance"
"By f**king around?" Jovita chipped in.
"Bingo! I'm not a bad boy for nothing" He said, making a swaggering look and Snow hit his head.
"Auntie!" Jovita chuckled.
"Did I forget something when bringing you up? Cuz I don't understand why you refuse to settle down and get married"
"Marriage is boring. You just have to keep eating one meal everyday all in the name of being a faithful husband, I'm not in for that boring life" Vincent said, eating.
Snow threw a picture of someone on the table for him, Vincent picked up the picture and smiled sexily.
"Whoa! She is so hot, she is busty, exactly the kind of girl I like. Who is she?" He asked.
"Her name is Nelly, she is a model. Go on a date with her" Vincent sighs and drops the picture.
"Not again Auntie! This will be the tenth date you have set up for me just this month"
"I'm doing this for you to fall in love and get married" Vincent chuckled.
"Who is going to fall in love? Me? That's not possible. I don't believe in that thing called love, so why should I partake in it? Moreover my other dates were annoying"
"After sleeping with them, right?" Jovita asked. "Should I have said no when they threw themselves at me? C'mon Jovita, even the Bible says ask and it shall be given to you. I just gave them what they asked for"
"I didn't know someone like you can quote a verse. But seriously Vincent you need to change, stop all of this, and even the way you style your hair. How can you fix your hair, who does that?"
"Vincent Moore does that" He smiled at his Aunt. He stood up to his feet.
"I will be off to work" He kissed Snow's cheek and ruffled Jovita's hair again.
"Stop doing that!" Jovita frowns.
"Make sure you meet with Nelly," Snow said.
"If I go on a date with her, then I'm going to have sex with her and forget she exists, should I still go on the date?
"Vincent!"
"See you later Auntie" He said with a smile and went back to his room, smoking.
"You should just let him be, Mom" Jovita said.
"I know you're going to support him, partners in crime. No wonder you don't have a boyfriend!"
"Don't vent your anger on me, I'm not Vincent. Why did you even give him the name Vincent when he doesn't act like one"
"Shut up" Snow scolded her.

Dove was laying on the couch in their small living room when she heard a knock on the door. She stood up and went to open the door and she smiled when she saw it's her boyfriend, Niko. Both have been dating for three years and it's so obvious that they loved each other so much.
"Niko" She hugs him and he smiled before carrying her. Although she is twenty-three years old, but she doesn't look like it, because of her small body stature. She isn't tall, but she is very beautiful.
"How are you, my love?" Niko asked with a smile.
"I'm fine, I just missed you so much" She said, kissing his lips and Niko smiled before sitting on the couch while Dove sat on his lap.
"I got you your medicine, I couldn't sleep last night when you called" He said, arranging her short hair.
"Sorry for bothering you"
"Don't say that Dove, I'm not your boyfriend only on bed" He touched her chin and she smiled.
"Speaking of the bed, I kind of miss you" She tried kissing him, but Niko stopped her.
"I know you're naughty, but you need to take your drugs first. You were shivering so much last night"
"I got a little better, but I will be fully healed if you touch me" Dove said, placing his hands on her boob. Niko chuckled, he takes his hand from her boob, and flicks her forehead.
"Drugs first"
"You are so mean" She rubs her forehead with a frown.
"You know I love you, right?"
"I love you triple times more," Dove said, kissing him. Niko kissed her back, but he stopped kissing her when she began unbuttoning his shirt.
"Don't seduce me, you need to take your drugs"
"I don't want to" She whines, dancing on his lap and Niko laughed.

•LOUNGE, LATER THAT NIGHT•
Vincent sits with his friends in their private lounge. He has just two friends; Jayden and Charon.
They have been friends since childhood and they all have their own companies, but Vincent is the richest one among his friends, cuz he is a billionaire.
"C'mon give me that Chinese girl number. I want to know what it feels like f**king an Asian girl" Vincent said.
Charon was somewhere in a corner calling his girlfriend.
"She is Asian, she won't give in that easily" Jayden said and Vincent laugh.
"Have you forgotten who I am?"
"No I haven't, you are a bad boy"
"Exactly. Give me her number and I am going to show you what I can do. I'm not a handsome baddie for nothing"
"How did you become so successful in your business with this behavior of yours?" Charon asked.
"Are you done calling your girlfriend?" Vincent asked.
"She is not picking up, maybe I should have given her the three million she asked for" Charon said with a sad face.
"Three million? I thought you gave her that same amount of money three days ago?" Jayden asked.
"Well Piper used all of it for shopping. She is mad at me for not giving it to her. I should have given it to her when she asked for it"
"If not that you're my friend I'd have called you a fool" Vincent said.
"Vincent!"
"Allow me to talk to him, Jayden. That Piper girl is just using your head, and you're just letting her use you all in the name of you're in love with her"
"How would you understand when you have never loved someone your whole life!!" Charon shouts at him.
It's not new, Vincent and Charon always have an argument anytime Piper (Charon's girlfriend) is involved.
"If your stupidity is the definition of love, then I am not interested. Wanna bet, I will go to Piper right now, and just a few words from me, she'd open her wide hole for me" Vincent said and Charon quickly grabbed his collar.
"Do you want to die? Don't touch my girlfriend!" He tried punching him, but Jayden held his hand.
"That's enough Charon, Vincent is just joking"
"Mark my words Vincent, a day will come when you'd be ready to bring down the clouds just for the girl you love" Vincent smirked.
"That's never going to happen not even in my next life or the one that comes after it. A bad boy like me have no space for love" Vincent said.
"I'm out of here" Charon leaves.
"Why do you always love annoying Charon?" Jayden asked.
"Isn't it obvious that I hate that Piper girl. She is looks like a leftover cornflakes and yet she keeps using Charon" Jayden laughed and said.
"Really? Leftover cornflakes, I'm really waiting for the day you're going to love a girl, let's see what she'd look like"
"Don't start" He warn and called Candy. Candy is his secretary.
"Hello Candy. Have you talked to the person that will be distributing sugarcanes to us for the manufacturing of sugars?"
"Yes I did. She already set a date for you to meet her" Candy replied.
"Add it to my schedule" He ends the call and gives Jayden his phone.
"What?" He asked.
"The Asian girl's number" Jayden shook his head, before inserting her number on Vincent's phone.
******
"Really? You got a distributing contract with Mint-More company?" Izzy asked Dove.
Izzy is her friend and Dove happens to have a sugarcane plantation where she plants sugarcanes.
"I haven't sign the contract with them, a certain lady that calls herself Candy approached me and told me she wanted me to become a sugarcane distributor for Mint-More company, I'm still considering it, so I told her I'd have a meeting with her boss, first" Dove said.
"What's there to consider, Dove? It's a big offer, you'd be paid handsomely for it. Mint-More is one heck of a big company, and I heard the owner is extremely handsome. What is his name again?... Vincent Moore, he is super rich and handsome" Izzy said.
"Whatever, no one can match with my Niko. He is not just handsome but caring too"
"I have heard that words so many times, but seriously Dove, you need to accept the offer. Opportunities like this comes once in a lifetime. You'd be able to take care of your dad and send Dora to school without stress"
"What is his name again?" Dove asked.
"Vincent Moore" Izzy answered.
"Vince" Dove muttered.
******
•SOME DAYS LATER, KITTY-CORE RESTAURANT•
Vincent keeps sighing and at the same checking his wristwatch.
"Why isn't she here yet?" He asked with a frustrating look on his face. He hates it when people keep him waiting.
"She said she'd be here"
"Then why isn't she here? We're doing her a favor, so why is keeping us waiting?"
"Lemme call her again" Candy said, trying to take her phone from her bag, but Vincent stops her.
"Don't bother, one thing I hate is when people keep me waiting. It's her loss, go get the car at the parking lot"
"Sure" Candy stood and leaves through the back door while Dove quickly entered through the front door.
The way she entered made Vincent who was focus on his phone to look at her. She was panting heavily, and her short hair covered her small face.
Vincent's eyes fall on her instantly, and he could feel his heart developing a beat. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Her beauty was so mesmerizing, and even though she has a slender body, it suits her so well.
It won't be difficult to carry her and throw her at your back. She was wearing a black short skirt, a white sweater and a white sneakers, with her small bag, crossing her shoulder.
She was looking so innocent and gentle just like her name.
Vincent's eyes went to her spot free thighs and his mouth immediately opened. She is just too pretty to be a human.
Vincent could see her walking up to him, and with every step she made, his heart raced. He just stay motionless on the chair, with his mouth opened as he watched her walked up to him.
"Are you by chance Vince Moore?" Her sweet voice asked Vincent said nothing, he just kept looking at her like she was an interesting movie.
"Did I get the name wrong? Are you Vincent Moore?" She asked flashing her boxy charming smile at him.
The little hairs in Vincent's body took up immediately she smiled.
"If you're not him, I will leave you alone" Dove turns to leave, but she was held back. Vincent held her hand.
"Why are you holding me?" She asked, and Vincent kept looking at her beautiful blue eyes.
This is the first time he doesn't know what to say in front of a girl. He always comes up with a flirting words to say to ladies, but he can't do any of that in front of her.
"Can you let go of my head, if you don't know how to talk" Dove said.
She tried taking her hand from him, but Vincent held her more tightly, and just by holding her hand, he felt something he has never felt before in his entire existence.
He opened his mouth to talk and the words came out before he could control himself.
"Marry Me"
Dove furrowed her eyebrows wondering if he was a mad man dressed in an expensive outfits.
"Are you high on drugs? Or did you by chance run away from the psychiatric hospital?" Dove asked with a frown. Even the way she frown made him have butterflies in his stomach.
"Why are you so beautiful?" Vincent asked with his eyes fixed on her blue eyes. Her eyes were kind of big, but that added to her beauty.
"He is indeed a mad man. Now I know that not everyone is normal" Dove muffled to herself and forcefully took her hand from him.
"I'm beautiful cuz that's my nature, and why will you ask me to marry you?"
"Cuz I like you" He said with his gummy smile.
"I think you should return to the psychiatric hospital you escaped from, and FYI, I have a boyfriend!" Dove said to him straight forwardly.
She turns to leave, but Vincent quickly rushed to her and blocked her part.
"Where are you going? We're not done talking. I'm serious I want to marry you" He said, and Dove sighed frustratingly.
"Get out of my way, when I am still be nice, else you'd be buried six feet under the ground"
"It will be a happy ending since you'd be beside me" He winked at her.
"Who released this wild dog from its cage?"
Candy rushed in and sees Vincent talking to Dove, and she has never seen him smiled this way towards any girl, and it kind of brought out the jealousy in her.
"I think you should go back to your cage, cuz that's where you belong" Dove said and pushed him away and he smiled.
"Vincent!" Candy called him walking up to where he was. On hearing Vincent, Dove halted her feet from leaving the restaurant and she turned to look at him.
"You're Vincent Moore?" She asked.
"Yes he is! What took you so long? He has been waiting for you!" Candy said.
"Shut up Candy. We just got here remember?" Vincent said.
"Huh?" Candy furrowed her eyebrows.
"Don't mind her, you came in time, and besides I don't mind if you keep me waiting,!it's worth it" He winks at her again and Dove found it so irritating. Candy was short of words.
"I didn't know you were Vince, you talked like a mad man earlier so I had no idea"
"Mad man? Watch your tongue Dove!"
"Who asked you to scold her? She didn't call you a mad man, so why are you drinking Panadol for my own headache?" Vincent asked, with his eyes glued on Dove's small face. Dove checked her wrist watch and said.
"Let's get this meeting done and dusted, I need to be somewhere"
"Sure Dovey" Vincent said, pulling out a chair for her. Dove rolled her eyes at him, before sitting on another chair, he chuckled and sits beside her with his eyes on her.
"Vincent" Candy called his name
"What?" He asked looking at Dove's face. "We should get started"
"Just a second" He said taking his time to look at Dove's face.
The way he was looking at her face, you'd think he was carrying out an experiment.
Dove got uncomfortable and hits her hand on the table, she looked at him with a glare. "If you don't stop looking at me that way, I'm going to charge you for harassment"
"It won't be a problem going to jail for you" He smiled.
"Vincent, what's with you? We are here for business" Candy said. On hearing business, he quickly got back to his senses.
"Where were we?" He asked. Some minutes later, they were done talking and signing the contract.
"Make sure the sugarcanes are delivered to Mint-More company on time" Candy said.
"You don't have to worry, once the sugarcanes are ready, I will have it delivered to Mint-More, as long as I get paid"
"Paying you isn't a problem" Vincent said
Dove stood to her feet.
"Then we have a deal" She said, bringing forth her hand for a shake. Vincent smiled and took her hand.
"Your hand is so soft" He tried kissing her hand, but Dove took it from him.
"I take my leave now" She smiled at Candy, but threw a hateful look at Vincent before running out of the restaurant.
Vincent fell to the chair, with his hands under his jaw.
"What a beauty" He giggled.
"Vincent will need to leave"
"Do you have her number?"
"Who?"
"My Dovey's number" He smiled.
"Yes I do"
"Give it to me" He said bringing out his phone.
"You don't have to get her number, Vincent. I can always call her if we need her"
"Are you tired of your job?" He asked.
Candy shook her head and gave him Dove's number.

•YELLOW-SPREE HIGH SCHOOL•
Angel and Joaquin are seen walking to a seat in the cafeteria with their tray of food in their hand.
"You changed your glasses?" Angel asked.
"Yes I did. My glasses were getting old, so Niko got me a new one"
"Whoa, that's so nice of your brother"
"You can say that again Angel. Niko works his butts just to send me to school, the least I can do is to get good grades" Joaquin said.
"You're doing that. You're the best student in our class" Angel said raising her thumb and he smiled.
Dora walked up to them.
Dora is Dove's younger sister, she is sixteen years old but a very annoying person.
Angel is Izzy's younger sister, and Joaquin is Niko's younger brother.
The three of them became friends, because Izzy is Dove's best friend and Niko is Dove's boyfriend.
"Dora" Angel smiled at her.
"I thought I told you to tell that brother of yours to stay away from my sister?" Dora asked.
"Why should I meddle in a relationship that is filled with love?" Joaquin asked and Dora chuckled.
"My sister is just being stupid and that's why she is dating a church rat"
"Dora that's harsh" Angel chipped in.
"I didn't ask you to speak so just pretend to be invisible" Dora said to Angel, and she became mute.
"My brother is doing his best for Dove. He gives her anything she wants"
"You call the little money he gives to her everything. She should be dating a rich man not someone like your brother. He can't possibly take her out of the rat hole she grew up from, cuz he also belongs there"
"Watch your mouth, Dora" Joaquin warned.
"And what are you going to do if I don't?" She asked walking closer to him, but Joaquin said nothing.
They're friends, but Dora is like the leader of the group. Her mouth is sharper than a razor blade.
"Just wait and see, I will seek to it that Niko never ends up with my sister"
"What are you planning on doing?" Dora smirked and walked away.
"What's her problem? Her obsession to live a fancy lifestyle is getting worse" Angel said.
"Just ignore her, Angel" Joaquin said. Both sat on the cafeteria's bench to eat.
******
Niko had a smile on his face as he looked at the necklaces in the jewelry boxes.
He came to the jewelry store to get Dove a necklace.
"Have you seen the necklace you like?" The attendant asked. Niko looked at her and smiled.
He has a heart-shaped smile. No doubt he is handsome, with his fringe hairstyle giving him the innocent kind of look. He is unlike Vincent who always weaves his hair.
"Not really. I haven't found the necklace I'm looking for"
"What kind of necklace?"
"Em... it's a lovelock necklace. It's my third year anniversary with my girlfriend"
"Awww that's so sweet" She said and Niko smiled.
"But those kinds of necklaces are customized"
"Really?"
"Yes. If you want we can have it customized for you. What do you think?"
"I like the sound of that" He smiled.
******
•NIKO'S APARTMENT•
"Happy third year anniversary to us!" Dove squealed and jumped on Niko who just entered the house.
Dove has a key to his house. Since she was small, it was easy to catch her, and Dove have a habit of always jumping on him cuz she knows he will surely catch her. Niko kissed her and said.
"Did you wait that long?" Dove shook her head with a smile. He tried carrying her down, but Dove pinned her legs on his waist tightly and he chuckled.
"You're lucky you're light weighted"
"Would you have avoid carrying me?"
"Of course not, you love being petted"
"That's why my name is Dove" She flings her short hair and they both laughed.
"I got you something" She said.
"What could it be?" Niko asked carrying her down. Dove smiled and went to her canvas tote bag, she brought out a gift and gave it to him.
"What's in it?"
"Open it" She smiled. She left in a rush earlier when she met up with Vincent and Candy cuz she wanted to get something for Niko.
Niko unwrapped the gift, he opened the gift box and his eyes eyes widened when he saw what was inside.
Dove got him a camera.
"Happy third year anniversary, my love" She smiled at him.
"You didn't have to get this for me"
"I know you were going to say this, but don't. You love taking pictures so that's why I got it for you. Just pretend it's not from me"
"Dove"
"What did you get for me?" Niko smiled and brought out a jewelry box, he opened it and Dove smiled when she saw a key necklace sparkling at her.
"Where is the padlock" Niko brought out the heart-shaped padlock necklace inside his shirt. He is wearing it.
"You alone have the key to my heart" He said and Dove smiled. He worn it on her.
"I love you" He said and Dove as usual jumped on him, and he caught her, with her legs on his waist.
"I love you too, Niko"
Both kissed.
"That reminds me, I met a nonentity today"
"Nonentity?" He asked as he carried Dove to the room.
"Yes. Remember the contract I told you about?"
"Oh I do. Mint-More, right?" He asked sitting on the bed and Dove sat on his lap.
"Yes, Mint-More. I don't think the founder of that company is normal"
"Did he try to touch you? Do you want me to break his legs"
"He dare not try to touch me"
"So what did he do?" Niko asked. Both always come clean with each other, they're not just boyfriend and girlfriend, but gist-mates as well.
"Do you know that imbecile ask me to marry him? He was like marry me, as if he knew before. He is an amoeba"
"What should I do? Your beauty keeps charming people"
"It's all for you and no one else" Niko smiled.
"Where's Joaquin? I didn't see him when I came" Dove said.
"I told him to spend the night at Izzy's house" Dove look at him with a flirting smile.
"What?"
"Is what I am thinking, right?" She raised her eyebrows, smiling and since she was sitting on his lap, she ride on him.
"With your attitude, I keep wondering if you were the same girl who gave her virginity to me three years ago"
"Should I go home then?"
"No. I want you more than anything in the world" Niko said kissing her. Dove hung her hands on his shoulder kissing him back.
In just a few minutes, Dove's melodious moans could be heard as Niko thrust in and out of her p**sy.
******
•GROCERY SHOP, NEXT DAY•
"So you and Niko sent Joaquin to my place, so you both can have s*x, right?"
"That's true, I won't deny it. It was so steamy, we had s*x for hours"
"Of course you did, that's what you're good at"
"If it saddens you, go get a boyfriend"
"Don't insult me" Izzy said and Dove laughed.
"So how did your meeting with Vincent go?"
"I don't want to be reminded about that squirrel"
"Squirrel? What happened?"
"He thinks just because he is handsome and rich he can flirts with any girl he sees"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that he is one heck of a bad boy"
"Bad boy my foot, no wonder he weaves his hair"
"At least you find him handsome"
"Shut up. Niko is more...."
"Handsome and caring, right?" Izzy cut her short. Dove chuckled and walked towards the fruits stand.
She tried taking a pineapple for her dad, but Jovita outsmart her. It was the last pineapple on the fruit stand.
"Hey, I got it first"
"Sorry, but I need this for my mom, I want to bribe her with it" Jovita said.
"I never asked you what you wanted to use it for" Dove said.
"Sorry, but I will make it up to you when we see again" Jovita said and ran to the payment section with it.
"Who is she?" Izzy asked.
"I don't know her, I've never met her before, but she has an annoying character like Vinny"
"Who's Vinny?"
"That's stupid Vincent Moore"
"Ah, Vinny? You even abbreviated his name" Izzy said smiling, but when Dove shot her a glare she stopped smiling.
"I will just go to another grocery store to get my dad his pineapple" Dove was about leaving when her phone rang, but she couldn't tell who it was, cuz she didn't save the number, but nevertheless, she picked up.
"Who is this?"
"Your hubby" Vincent said smiling over the phone.
"Hubby? I think this is a wrong number..."
"It's me, Vincent Moore"
"How did heck do you get my number?" She asked, looking annoyed.
"You're going to be part of my company, isn't it fair if I have your number?"
"What do you want?"
"Come over to my company, there are some papers you need to sign"
"I thought I did that already"
"No you didn't, come over to the company. Look sexy for me" He smiled and ended the call.
"He is so annoying!" Dove stamped her foot on the ground.
******
•MINT-MORE•
A slap landed on Vincent's face and he touch his cheek before looking at the Asian girl. Just like he told Jayden he had his way with her two days before he met Dove.
"Since you have slapped my face, you can leave" "Tīng wǒ shuō? (How can you do this to me?)"
"Tīng wǒ and get out of my office" Vincent said. He doesn't understand Chinese. The Asian girl took her bag and left.
Vincent sits in his chair, tapping his feet on the ground.
"When is she coming? I want to see her face" He pouted and took a stick cigarette from its pack to smoke.
"What stupid papers do you want me to sign?" Dove asked entering his office without knocking, and she met him smoking.
"You smoke?" She asked, cuz Niko doesn't smoke.
"No" He answered sharply and threw the cigarette away like a child whose dad caught him smoking.
"It's none of my business if you smoke. Where the papers I need to sign, I need to leave"
"Take a chill pill, why are you in a hurry?" "Cuz your face disgust me"
"But your face lightens up my world" He smiled at her. Dove frowns at him. Vincent noticed something on her, and began walking closer to her.
"What do you want?" She asked moving backwards until her back touched the white wall. Since she was short, Vincent lowered his height to her level and his eyes went to her b**bs.
He observed it for a while before talking.
"Why is your b**bs so small? I love it when is big" He smiled and Dove quickly used her hands to cover her small b**bs.
"A-Are you crazy?!" She yelled.
"Don't worry I can manage your small b**bs. After a good massage from me, it'd grow bigger"
Dove got angry and kicked his face, and he fell to the ground.
"Massage my foot!!! If you're looking for b**bs to massage, go and practice it with your mom!" She yells and headed for the door, but she came back and kicked his face again, before leaving the office completely.
Vincent looked at his bleeding lips and started laughing.
"Damn, I love this girl!"
Vincent was still on the floor, laughing like a crazy psycho, when Candy entered the office. She gasps when she saw Vincent bursted lips.
"Vincent!" She rushed towards him.
"What happened to your lips?" She asked, trying to touch his wounded lips, but he held her hand.
"Don't touch me, I am fine" He stood up, smiling.
"You have been acting weird" Candy said.
"How?"
"I dunno, you are just different from the Vincent I used to know. Dove was here a few minutes ago, was she the one who did this to you?" Vincent sat on the chair.
"It's no big deal. It's be nice, if she kick me again" He said exposing his little set of teeth.
"No big deal? She kicked your face and you want her to do it again? What's going on with you?"
"The last time I checked, you're just my secretary, so stop acting like you're my mom"
"I am just being concerned about you"
"I never asked you to be. If you don't have anything useful to say, you can just turn around and leave"
"Well, there's some documents you need to sign" She drops it on the table for him.
Vincent made a puff sound with his mouth and began signing on the document, and while he was at it, Candy was busy admiring his handsome face.
She likes him a lot. Vincent being the bad boy that he is, has already had a taste of her honeypot.
He doesn't resist any lady that willingly gives her body to him.
"Here you go" He said, giving her the documents after he was done signing on them.
"Will you be free tonight?" She asked.
"Why?" Vincent asked in return.
"I just wanted to invite you over" Candy said in a low voice, giving her lower lip a little bite. Vincent instantly got her message, and he stood up from his seat.
He takes a step towards her and said.
"I am not interested. From now on, let's just be boss and employee" He leaves the office. Candy's jaw dropped.
"Did he just reject my body? Since when?" She asked herself, with a surprise look on her face.
******
•NIKO'S APARTMENT•
Joaquin entered the house, and sees Niko at home, setting up the table for lunch. It was unlike Niko to be at home during the afternoons, cuz he was always at the construction site.
"You didn't go to work today" Joaquin asked.
"No, I didn't. I made you lunch, let's eat together" He smiled.
"I will go in and change first" Joaquin went to the room and changed into something cosy. In the next minute, he was sitting on the dining chair, eating lunch with Niko.
"Do you like it?"
"You have always been the best cook" Joaquin replied, but Niko noticed he wasn't in a happy mood.
"Did something happen in school today? You look sad. Is anyone bullying you?" Joaquin chuckled.
"Of course not, Niko" "So what's with the sad face" Niko asked, worriedly.
"Do you love Dove?"
"That's not even a question, Joaquin. The heavens knows I love Dove so much. Why do you ask?"
"I don't want you to be heartbroken"
"Why will I be heartbroken? Dove and I love each other so much"
"I know. Dove isn't the problem, it's Dora. She threatened me that she will do all she can to make sure you don't end up with her sister. Dora is a sly, what if she puts good use with her threat"
"You don't have to worry about Dora. The only ones who can put an end to the relationship I have with Dove, is either me or her, and I won't be the one to end it, cuz I love her so much"
"I just want you to be happy, Niko"
"I'm happy Joaquin. With you and Dove by my side, I don't need any luxury" He ruffles his hair, and Joaquin smiled.
"So why aren't you at work today?"
"I quit" Niko answered, eating.
"You quit, why?"
"I got a more benefitting job this time around. It pays so well, which means I will be able to provide anything you want, and also for my wedding with Dove" He smiled.
"You want to get married to her?"
"Yes, but not right away. With my new job, I'd be able to save up lot of money so that I can give her a grand wedding, and a comfortable house. Once I'm done saving up, I'll will propose to her"
"You have your life planned out with Dove. I'm impressed" Joaquin said.
"She is my life. Enough with the chitchatting, you should eat, the food is getting cold" He said adding more macaroni in Joaquin's plate.
******
Charon sighed for the umpteenth time, as he waited patiently for Piper to come home.
He has been waiting for her since forever, and there wasn't even any sign of her coming. He has called her so many times, but she was not picking up.
Charon was waiting outside Piper's apartment, cuz she change the password to her smart door.
Everything Piper has was brought by Charon, including her apartment and the cars she has. He just love her too much and he can't say NO to anything she asked for.
The both of them have been together since high school days, and Charon could vividly remember the efforts that he put in, before Piper agreed to date him.
He was still waiting for Piper when she drove inside the compound.
She came out from the car, wearing a net gown that was revealing the br@ and p@nties that she was wearing.
"What the heck are you wearing, Piper?" He asked walking up to her.
"As you can see, I'm putting on clothes"
"You called this clothes? Your whole body is exposed" He said.
He wasn't even shouting at her, but Piper exploded immediately.
"Why are you detecting what I should and shouldn't wear?" She asked getting mad.
"I am your boyfriend, Piper" Charon said in a low voice.
"Just because you're my boyfriend, I shouldn't dressed the way I like, huh? Should we just break up so that I can have peace of mind?!!!" She shouts at him, and Charon quickly went on his knees.
"I am sorry, I won't scold you about what you wear. Don't think about breaking up with me" He said with misty eyes.
"Fine! Just get up, before your friends will say I am a bad person" Charon stood to his feet and hugged her.
"I love you so much" Piper rolled her eyes, and broke the hug.
"Where have you been? I'd have waited for you inside, but you change the password of your door"
"Yes I did, because I needed my own privacy. Do you have a problem with that?"
Charon shakes his head.
"Did you check your phone?" He asked with a smile.
"Why?"
"I transferred the three million you asked for" Piper brought out her phone from her purse, she checked her phone and indeed the money was there.
"Did you have to stress me before giving me the money?" Piper said, instead of saying thank you.
"I am sorry, it won't happen again"
"Just go home, Charon. I had a long day and I need to rest"
"Not even a good night kiss? I waited for you for hours" He said, innocently.
Piper just gave him a peck on the cheek before entering the house.
She didn't even bother to ask him if he has eaten.
Charon touch his cheek and smiled. No doubt, he is foolishly in love with Piper.
He walked up to his car and he got a text message from Izzy saying he is needed in the company.
Charon owns a modeling agency, and Izzy (Dove's best friend) works as one of the makeup artists for his company.
***
Charon arrived in the company and he met Izzy in his office.
"I saw your text, you said there was a problem with the models, but when I got to the studio, nothing out of the ordinary was happening" Charon said and Izzy smiled at him.
"I lied"
"You lied to your boss?" He asked.
"I am sorry. I wanted you to rush back here, since my work here for today is over and I needed to go home"
"What do you need me for?" He asked. Izzy smiled and gave him a lunch-box.
"What's this for?"
"You haven't eaten all day, so I got you something to eat" Izzy said.
"Why will you even bother?" He asked again. Izzy giggles.
"I will be going home now" She quickly leaves the office.
"What's with her" He muffled, but nevertheless, he opened the lunchbox.
He smiled slightly when he saw it was his favorite meal- cobb salad and chicken fried steak. He sat down and began to eat it.
He was extremely hungry cuz he was waiting for Piper all day.
Izzy secretly looked at him from the door that was slightly opened. She didn't leave like she said she would, and when she saw Charon eating her food, she smiled.
She has been working for Charon as a makeup artist for two years now, and without a shock, she has been crushing on Charon for two years.
Izzy knows he has a girlfriend who he is ready to die for, so she just admire Charon from a distance.

•DOVE'S HOUSE•
Dove stands in the mirror inside her room, looking at her b**bs from the singlet she was wearing.
She screamed in annoyance when she recalled how Vincent said her b**bs were small.
"I hate him!" She spats. Just then her phone rang.
"Who is this?" She asked when she picked up.
"Didn't you save my number?" Vincent asked, and Dove frowns when she recognized his voice.
"Why are you pestering my life?" She asked.
"I just wanted to hear your voice"
"Just get lost"
"I can't get lost, I'm outside your house"
"How did you know my house?"
"Have you forgotten you wrote it down during the signing of the contract?" Dove closed her eyes in annoyance.
"Make sure you disappear before I come out" She said and angrily ended the call. She put on a gown since she was wearing just a singlet and a bum-shot.
Dove came out from the house and indeed Vincent was in her house.
He was resting his back in his car, with his eyes on his phone and Dove could swear that he is indeed the king of dressing.
He was looking so tempting and handsome in his breathtaking outfit.
Even the head-warmer he was putting on added to his good looks.
Dove spent few minutes looking at him, but the moment Vincent raise his head up and their eyes met, she quickly looked away, clearing her throat.
Vincent smiled and rushed to her.
"Dovey!"
"Stop calling me that"
"Should I call you wifey instead?" He asked, smiling.
"What are you doing here? I strictly told you that I am going to deliver the sugarcanes to your company once it's ready"
"That's not why I am here. I want to see your small face" He cupped her face, giggling.
"Your face is so soft" He whispers to her ear and Dove could feel her skin getting goosebumps and she quickly pushed him away.
"Will you please get out out of my life?"
"I can't do that. You already stole my heart" He smiled.
"If this is one of your baddie games, then it's not going to work on me. I have a boyfriend!"
"I still have a chance, cuz he is not married to you, yet" He winks at her.
Dove grunts.
"What planet did you come out from? Do you think teasing me is a nice thing to do" She asked.
"I am not, I am being serious" Vincent said.
"Dove?" Niko said.
"Niko" Dove smiled at him, and Vincent became jealous when he saw Dove smiling at Niko, cuz all she does is throw hateful looks at him.
"Who the heck he is?" Vincent asked. Dove held Niko's hand while Niko looked at Vincent wondering who he was.
"He is my boyfriend. I'm in a serious relationship with him, so take your flirting someone else, cuz you got the wrong girl" Dove said.
Vincent looked at Dove's hand that was on Niko's hand, and he separated their hands.
"What's your problem, dude?" Niko asked.
"How much?" Vincent asked with jealous expression.
"How much for what?"
"Name your price and I'd give it to you asap. How much do you want for me to have Dove to myself? Leave her for me and I'd give you any amount of money you want"
"What?" Niko muttered, surprisingly.
