I was sitting in a chair in a fine dining restaurant, staring at the falling snow outside the window. It's the first week of December.
My mom told me to come here to have dinner with her and her boyfriend. Her name is Eva bloom, and she's 42. She is very strict and a perfectionist. My dad passed away two years ago. My family owns a famous mall in New York City. My mom runs the business.
I sighed as I looked around. I wonder why my mom hasn't come yet. I couldn't move my gaze when I saw a tall man walk into the room, struck by his handsome face, his blue eyes dark. His body shape looks perfect in his black suit.
He stopped his steps and spoke to the waiter who was standing near the entrance. They walked towards me and stood by me."Sir, this is your table," the waiter said, pointing to my table. "Thank you," he said before the waiter left us.
I quickly stood up from my chair. "You must be Evelyn," he said with a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand. "I am Valentino Gray. I'm your mom's boyfriend. Nice to meet you."
He surprised me by saying that. I never thought that he was my mom's boyfriend. My mom had told me she had a boyfriend, but she had never asked me to meet him before. All I know about her boyfriend is that he's a famous lawyer, and he's 32. They are getting married next month.
"Nice to meet you too," I said as I shook his hand.
My heart beats fast as I feel his big, warm hand hug my cold one. His eyes gripped mine and there was something there I couldn't completely comprehend. But I could tell he was enjoying seeing my nervousness.
I took my hand from his as I tried to calm my rapid heartbeat. He smiled at me with his eyes fixed on my blue eyes and my long, blonde hair. He then sat on the chair facing me and I sat in my chair.
His cell phone suddenly vibrated. He took it from his jacket pocket and answered the call. "Eva, where are you?" he asked and listened to the phone. "Seriously?" he asked, as he couldn't believe what he just heard."Do you really have to attend the meeting?"
He then sighed and said, "Alright. See you tomorrow."
"What is it?" I asked after he hung up his phone and put it back in his jacket pocket. "Your mom can't have dinner with us. She suddenly has a very important meeting," he replied into my eyes. I sighed as I avoided his eyes. My mom was always like this. The only thing on her mind was money.
My heart suddenly beat fast again as I looked at Valentino, who was staring at me with his gentle gaze. "It's just the two of us now," he said in a soft voice.
I tried to smile at him and looked at the skirt of my white short dress, trying to hide my nervousness from him. I could feel his eyes still on me, and that made me even more nervous.
A waiter then walked over to our table and stood by us. "Good evening," he greeted us politely. "Can I take your order?"
Valentino took the menu on the table and read it, and so did I. "What would you like for an appetizer?" Valentino asked into my eyes.
"Can we just eat the main course?" I asked. I felt so nervous with him so I wanted to finish this dinner soon and go home.
He smiled gently at me before he turned his head to the waiter. "Bring us your best main course," he said. "Yes, sir," the waiter said with a polite bow, and walked into the kitchen.
"Tell me a little about yourself, Evelyn," Valentino asked, with his eyes fixed on mine. "My life is boring," I replied honestly.
He chuckled. "Then you need to have fun, otherwise you'll die from boredom," he teased me. I respond with just a smile. We were both silent, and this silence was killing me. "How did you meet my mom?" I asked to break the silence.
"I met her by accident five months ago. My car hit her car. Since then we've seen each other often and I ended up being her boyfriend," he said and smiled.
"Oh, I see," I said as I nodded my head a little. "My mom told me you are a lawyer."
He responded with a nod. "Being a lawyer is my dream since childhood. I want to fight for justice and punish those who are guilty," he said. Somehow, I could see the anger and hatred in his eyes. His eyes turned soft again as he smiled at me. "Tell me, what is your dream?" he asked me.
Sadness suddenly took over my mind upon hearing his question. "I ... I wanted to be a pianist, but my mom forbade me to do that. She wanted me to be like her. She wants me to run our family business," I said and looked down, trying to hide my sadness from him.
It startled me when he touched and held my hand, making me look back into his eyes. "Evelyn," he said my name softly. "Never give up on your dreams. You have to fight for your dreams, no matter what."
I paused, staring at him. It was the first time someone said those words to me and it really touched my heart. I suddenly felt comfortable talking to him.
Valentino took his hand from mine when the waiter came to bring us food. The waiter took the steaks from the trolley and served them to us. "Please enjoy your dinner," he said politely before he left us.
"Let's eat," Valentino said as he smiled at me. I nodded as I smiled back at him. He then tucked the napkin into his collar while I put it on my lap and we started eating.
"To be honest, I don't like eating in places like this," Valentino said to me in a low voice. "I can't enjoy eating with so much manners."
I held back my smile, looking at him. I never thought that he felt what I felt. "Me too," I said.
He smiled at me. "Let's quickly finish this steak. I'll take you somewhere," he said. "Where will you take me?" I asked, curious. He answered me with just a smile and continued eating. I then did the same.
We got into Valentino's car after we walked out of the fine dining and left the place. The car stopped when we arrived at a nightclub parking lot and parked there.
"Let's go in," Valentino said to me in an excited tone.
"I-I'm not used to such places," I said.
He held my hand with his eyes kept fixed on mine. "Trust me. You will have fun in there," he said, trying to reassure me.
I paused for a moment in doubt before I gave him a nod. I told myself that I need to have fun, otherwise I'll die from boredom like he told me. He smiled at me. "Let's go now," he said and got out of the car and so did I. He took my hand and led me into the club.
I tightly held his hand as we walked inside the club. I've never been to a place like this before. I covered my ear hearing the music that sounded so loud. I was shocked and embarrassed to see the women and men who were dancing with erotic movements.
Valentino took me to the bar, and we sat there. "Give me the usual and a margarita for her," he said to the bartender. The bartender nodded his head with a smile. They both seemed to have known each other. He then prepared the drinks and gave them to us.
"Cheers," Valentino said as he touched his glass to mine and took a sip. I then did the same. "Do you like it?" he asked me. I nodded at him with a smile. He smiled back at me and took a sip of his drink before he placed it on the table.
I drank my drink while looking around me. I then realized that the women near us were staring at Valentino without blinking. I could see the admiration and lust in their eyes.
Two beautiful women in sexy dresses then walked over and stood next to Valentino. "Hi, handsome. Can we join you?" one girl asked with her flirtatious look.
Valentino smiled gently at them. "I'm sorry. I'm with my girlfriend right now," he said casually.
He surprised me by saying that while the girls looked at me with their jealous gazes. They both then walked away from us.
"Why do you say I'm your girlfriend?" I asked into his eyes.
He drew closer to me. "To make them leave. Your mom will kill me if she finds out I'm with them," he whispers in my ear. I couldn't help but laugh at what he said. We then looked each other in the eye with a smile.
Loud song in the room, then turned into a soft song. "Let's dance," he said as he took my hand and led me to the dance floor before I could open my mouth to speak.
We stood facing each other. His hands spread out on my lower back, pulling me closer to him. His gaze on my face turned my skin to fire. I am suffused with red as I blushed. I could hear my rapid heartbeat in my ears.
I shivered inside as his hand stroked my back waist and rubbed it heavily. I felt the bulge under his trousers against my belly. I could feel my body react to him deep in my core.
He brought his lips closer to mine. It's almost as if he's inviting me to move closer. I quickly pulled back from him as I struggled to calm my rapid heartbeat.
I don't understand what happened to me. I don't usually behave this way. He has made me unable to think clearly. 'He belongs to my mom, not mine,' I told myself.
"Can we go back now? I-I have to study. I have a test tomorrow," I lied to him. He smiled casually, as if nothing had happened while I was still trying to clear my head.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a test tomorrow?" he asked. "I-I forgot to tell you," I replied, avoiding his eyes. "Then let's go back now," he said. He took my hand gently and led me out of this place.
Valentino was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed inside his luxurious apartment. He looks so hot in his black satin nightgown. He drank the glass of wine in his hand with his mind filled with Evelyn.
His eyes shone devilishly, thinking of her. Her beautiful face and sexy body fascinated him. She was indeed a beautiful, untouched flower that made him crave to f*ck her and torture her in his hands.
The sound of the doorbell broke through his thoughts, making him look at the door. He wondered who was behind the door. He put the glass in his hand on the table next to the sofa and stood up, walking to the door.
"Eva," he said, feigning surprise as he opened the door.
She smiled sweetly at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I came here as soon as I finished the meeting. I'm so sorry for not having dinner with you," she said in an apologetic tone with her eyes fixed on his.
He gave her a fake gentle smile. "It's okay. Come on in," he said. She nodded with a smile and took her arms from around his neck. She walked into the room and sat on the sofa.
He closed the door, walked over, and stood before her. "I'll get you a drink," he said. She suddenly grabbed his arm just as he was about to take a step and made him sit on the sofa. She sat on his lap with her body facing his. "I don't want to drink. I want you now," she said lustfully, looking into his eyes.
She kissed his lips in a hungry kiss. Her lustful breath fanned his face. He closed his eyes, holding back his disgust. His hands clenched into fists in anger.
He opened his eyes as she kissed his neck while her hands were traveling on his hard chest. Lust and desire smolder in her. All her body clenched and her pussy got wet. She untied the belt of his nightgown in a quick motion. She couldn't wait to suck his cock and put it in her pussy.
"Eva, wait," he said, holding her arm as she squeezed his cock and his balls under his briefs. She looked him in the eyes while holding back her lust. "Did you forget? My back still hasn't recovered yet," he said.
Annoyed and disappointment filled her eyes. "It's been three months! Why hasn't it recovered?!" she said, raising her voice. He smiled gently and caressed her cheek to distract her, hiding the lie he had made from her. His eyes then back into her eyes. "The doctor said I can have sex next month."
She suddenly had an excited smile on her face upon hearing what he said. "Really?!" she asked. He responded with a nod. She wrapped her arms around his neck with her flirtatious eyes fixed on his. "Then you have to pay to make me suffer for three months," she said in a sexy voice.
"Just wait and see. I'll pay for that with something you'll never forget," he said. His voice was deep and gravelly. She smiled, biting his lip. "I can't wait for that," she said in a sexy whisper. He smiled gently at her with an evil look in his eyes.
She then stood up from his lap and sat next to him. "Oh, yes," she said into his face as she remembered something. "I read the news. You won Lisa's case." He nodded his head as he tied the belt of his nightgown.
"Why would you want to help her? You should help her boss. You'll get a lot of money from him," she said, curious.
He turned his head to her. He could see the evil and greed in her eyes. "I helped her not without reason. I gained popularity by winning her case. Everyone knows I am a good lawyer," he lied to her.
She chuckled. "You are a devil. You are not a good lawyer, but a good liar," she teased him. He responded with just a smile.
She smirked as she looked ahead. "That girl is so stupid. Why did she have to kill herself just because her boss raped her? She should have used her body to earn a lot of money rather than of being a corpse," she said without pity.
He stared at her with anger, hatred, and disgust filling his eyes. His face turned into a smile as she looked back at him. "He not only raped her once, but many times. He also abused her. But I don't care about her. All I care about is money and popularity," he said. She smiled back at him."Me too," she said.
He chuckled before he looked at the clock. "It's late now. You need to sleep or you'll be late for your business trip tomorrow," he said into her eyes. She held his arm with a pleading look and said, "Please ... come with me to San Francisco."
"You know I can't go with you. I have to work."
"I'll be dying if I'm not with you in a week."
He gave her a fake gentle smile and put his hand on her cheek. "It's only a week. I'm yours. I'll be with you forever," he said in a soft voice. She paused, staring at him with sparkling eyes. His gentle gaze and his words had made her heart melt. She didn't realize that all along she had fallen into his trap.
"I love you so much. You are everything to me," she said from the bottom of her heart. "I love you too," he said with a lie.He then kissed her forehead gently and looked back into her eyes. "Go to sleep now. I'll be with you soon. I still have something to do with my work," he said.
She nodded at him with a smile. "Good night," she said, and pecked his lips. "Good night," he replied.
She then stood up from the sofa. He watched her walk into the bedroom with his cold gaze. He clenched his jaw in anger. He couldn't wait to make her suffer at his hands.
*******
Evelyn's POV:
I stared at the book on the table in front of me with dark circles around my eyes. I couldn't sleep last night. I see Valentino in my mind every time I close my eyes.
I can still feel his touch on my skin. I can't forget the way he looked at me that made my heart flutter and made my cheeks burn. The sweet smell of his cologne still lingers on my body, which makes me feel like he's still with me.
I woke up from my thoughts in startle when I heard the bell ringing. My class is over. "Alright girls. I'll see you on Monday. Have a nice weekend," my teacher said before she walked out of the classroom.
"Evelyn." I turned to my left as Lucia called my name. "Are you alright? You don't look like you slept well." I tried to smile at her. "I'm fine. I read books all night," I lied to her. She smiled back at me and put the book on the table in front of her into her bag, and so did I.
Lucia is just like me. Our parents forced us to be perfect girls and live our boring lives. Her family owned a luxury hotel in the city, and she was the only successor of her family.
We studied at one of the most famous high schools in the city. The students at this school are all girls. We don't have many friends. We don't have time to hang around because we are busy studying.
We both stood up from our chairs and walked towards the parking lot. We stopped our steps with curiosity filling our minds when we got there. All the girls looked excited and also amazed, like they were looking at a movie star.
My eyes suddenly opened wide with my heart racing as I looked in the direction they were looking. I saw Valentino standing next to his luxury black sedan in his black suit. All eyes were on me as he waved his hand at me with a smile on his handsome face.
"Oh, my God! He's so hot and so handsome," Lucia said without blinking, staring at him with sparkling eyes. She then looked at me. "Do you know him?" she asked.
"He's my mom's boyfriend," I replied.
I surprised her by saying that. She was speechless as she almost dropped her jaw. "I have to go now," I said hastily and walked towards Valentino, leaving her, who still couldn't believe what she had heard.
"Why are you here?" I asked in nervous as I stood before my future stepdad. He gave me his gentle smile. "I'm here to pick you up," he replied.
"Where's Edgar?" I asked, curious. Edgar is my driver.
"He can't pick you up today. He has something to do," he said and smiled. Somehow, I can feel there is something behind his smile.
He then opened the front door of the car for me. "Shall we?" he asked me. He teased me by pretending to be polite. He left me with no choice. I then forced my feet to walk and got into the car. I have to get him to leave this place before the girls go crazy because of him.
"Please don't come to my school again," I begged, staring into his face. "Why?" he asked casually as he kept driving his car.
I sighed. "You know... you're so attractive. You make the girls go crazy over you," I said.
He smiled with his gentle teasing gaze fixed on my eyes. "Now I know what you think of me," he said.
My eyes suddenly opened wide as I covered my mouth with my hands when I realized what I had said. My heart beats rapidly in nervousness.
He laughed softly at my face. I took my hands from my mouth and looked at the falling snow outside the car window. The air is so cold but my cheeks are on fire.
His cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out of his jacket pocket and answered the call. "David, what is it?"
He listened to the phone, then he said, "Okay, I'll wait you at my place." He hung up the phone and put it back in his jacket pocket. "Evelyn," he said into my eyes. "My lawyer friend needs to pick up the files at my place. I'll drive you home after that."
"You can drop me off here. I can take a taxi home. I don't want to bother you," I said. He smiled gently at me. "You don't bother me at all. Besides, it won't take long," he said. I smiled back at him before I looked back at the snow.
The car stopped when we arrived at the apartment parking lot and parked there. We got out of the car and walked into the building and into the elevator. We walked out of the elevator when we got to the top floor.
"Come on in," Valentino said as he opened the door to his apartment. I nodded my head and walked into the room. He closed the door, walked over, and stood next to me.
"Have a sit," he said, pointing to the gray sofa in front of me. "Make yourself at home." I nodded at him with a smile. He smiled back at me and walked over to the desk to get the files while I sat on the sofa.
I looked around the room. I like this room. This room looks nice and clean and in a modern style. The color in this room is dominated by white and gray.
I couldn't move my gaze when I saw Valentino taking off his jacket and placing it on the chair behind the desk. He took off his gray tie and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. He unbuttoned two buttons from his shirt. My cheeks burned with my heart racing at the sight of his exposed chest.
A sudden nervousness gripped me firmly the moment our eyes met. I quickly avoided his eyes, hiding my nervousness from him. My heart beats faster and faster as he walks over to me and sits down next to me. He roaming all over my body with lust filling his eyes. I quivered inside under his gaze.
"Where is your friend?" I asked to stop him from stripping me with his gaze. He moved his gaze from my breasts into my eyes. "He's still on his way," he said. I moved my gaze to look ahead. Seeing his eyes made me even more nervous.
"Why you look so nervous?" he asked in a raspy voice as he placed his hand on my thigh. I quickly stood up from the sofa as his hand crept up my thigh. "What are you doing?" I asked into his eyes, shocked.
I gasped as he grabbed my arm and made me sit sideways on his lap. "Let go of me!" I said as I struggled. He tightened his grip on me, stopping me from moving. His lustful eyes gripped my frightened eyes."Don't pretend in front of me. I know you want me," he said with his heavy breath.
My eyes open wide with my heart beating uncontrollably as he kisses my lips in a hungry kiss. Fear, confusion, and shock collided in my mind, rendering me unable to think and making my body freeze.
I shivered as his big, strong hand squeezed my breast. He moved his hand to my thigh under my short skirt. I pushed against his chest, freeing my lips from his as his fingers brushed against my pussy.
"Please ... stop," I begged him in tears. "I'll tell my mom if you keep doing this!"
He released his grip on my trembling body upon hearing what I said. I quickly stood up from his lap and took my bag onto the sofa. "Evelyn! Wait!" I heard him say from behind me as I ran out of the room. I ignored him, running into the elevator while crying. All I can think of right now is running away from him.
Valentino tried to catch up with Evelyn, but it was too late because the elevator doors had closed. He walked back into his apartment and sat in the chair behind the desk. He took the bottle of wine from the desk and poured it into a glass, and drank it to quell his anger.
He furrowed his brows in thought. Revenge and anger filled his eyes. He then put the glass in his hand back on the desk. He took his cell phone next to the glass and made a call. "David," he said.
"How is it going? Why did you call me so soon? Did you f*ck her?" David asked, curious.
"I didn't f*ck her. She wasn't a whore like her mother. She rejected me and ran away," Valentino said.
David's laughter broke. "I can't believe this. This is the first time a girl has rejected you," he said and laughed again. Valentino chuckled. He couldn't believe this was happening, either.
David cleared his throat. "What will we do now?" he asked in a serious tone. "We'll be done if she tells her mother."
"She won't. She's scared of her mother. Besides, her mother won't believe her words. She believes in me," Valentino said. David heaved a sigh of relief, then he asked, "So, what are your plans with Evelyn?"
"I will get her with my way and make her mine," Valentino replied.
"Alright then. See you tomorrow," David said. "Hm," Valentino said before he hung up his phone.
Valentino smiled devilishly, with plans in mind. "Evelyn," he called her name in a deep whisper. "You can never run from me. You can only be mine."
