"The businessman of the year award goes to Mr Arthur William" a bald but influential man announced the name of the business king who was known by everyone.
Everyone got up from his honour and the man with tall stature and broad chest entered, he received every attention in the room. His aura depicted power and indeed he was the most influential man in the Newyork city
But there was one girl Bella smith who wasn't interested because she was forced to come to this party because her father carter and brother Jason was one of the business typhoons.
Arthur held the mike in his hand and look around people, some were jealous of his success and the others wanted to do business with him. Nobody could afford to offend him because Arthur had a temper which brought out the best in him
"Thank you, everyone, I am glad to receive this award but I would only say one thing I am here only because of my hard work. After all, it is not easy to become the king of business" he said in a mocking voice and the pride made his skin glow more. He completed his speech and got busy meeting people.
He was a successful man with killer looks and what made him special was that he earned everything at the age of 27 years.
Bella rolled her eyes at his speech because she knew that businessmen love to fake and arrogance was evident in Arthur's voice.
She loathe such men and she kept on looking at her watch and waited for the party to end so that she could go home and sleep.
Bella sat on her seat and enjoyed her red whine, she was looking the most uninterested woman in the room but the most beautiful in her white elegant dress
Her blue eyes were the ones that attract people to her but she already had someone else in her heart who she loved dearly.
She was in her own thoughts but got startled due to the voice
"Mam, this is for you" a waiter come and passed a slip to Bella who looked confused.
She looked around and opened the slip
"Meet me beautiful, upstairs in room no-123 "
She smiled reading the slip and held her white beautiful gown in her hand and went upstairs towards the desired room
She knocked on the door and a permanent smile plastered on her lips.
Soon the door was opened by a very handsome man who has raven hair and a killer smile and Bella would think twice to kill for him.
He pulled her inside the door and started to kiss her neck hungrily
"Baby, you are looking ravishing tonight," James said to her and his mouth didn't leave Bella's neck for a second
James and Bella were in a secret relationship because Bella's brother Jason was a rival of James who was also a business typhoon
"James stop it, why did you call me here," Bella said giggling to him and stopping him, they both looked into each other eyes with love and adoration.
"It's your fault that you are looking the most pretty girl at the party, I tried to ignore you but I couldn't," James said to her with a pout and Bella shook her head
"Dad and Jason must be waiting for me, I need to go," Bella said but James didn't leave her body, he wanted to have a taste of her because it had been a while since he touched her. He touched her silky brown locks that fall on her waist and enhanced her beauty more
"Bella, one night only," James said to her apart from the fact that Bella was a virgin and waiting for some special moment to break it
"Baby, you know the deal. I want everything special when I lose my virginity" Bella said in a slow tone cupping James' cheek
Bella was a modern girl but there were some principles in her life. Her mother taught her that virginity was the gift given to husbands on a special night. Bella doesn't believe in one night stand because she was a one-man woman
"Bella you are such a teaser, we have been together for 4 years but still you can't trust me," James said in disappointment but Bella immediately claimed his lips with a passionate kiss
They both indulged in a hot making out session which lasted for five minutes. They both panted hard and join their forehead together.
"I love you James and I trust you and this is the reason that I want you to marry me so that I can be with you completely," Bella said to me and her breath was uneven due to kissing.
"I will go mad if you kiss me like this, don't worry soon I will come to your dad and ask for your hand in marriage" James promised and his eyes shone, Bella smiled looking at the dedication in his eyes
"Shall we go now?" he asked her and pinched her cheeks
Bella wanted to be in James' arms forever but she knew that she has to leave now. James looked at her body and he wanted to devour it as soon as possible.
"At least show me what you are hiding underneath your clothes," James asked her and touched her exposed neck and Bella closed her eyes with the sensation
James' touch brought the fire to her whole body and she couldn't wait to marry him.
She had a whole modelling career ahead of her and she wasn't a known model but her career could wait when it comes to marrying James.
she had a lot of opportunities in the past to establish her career but she didn't take it seriously because she wanted to give all her time to James to strengthen their relationship.
She could compromise with her career but she couldn't think of her life without James.
James was touching every inch of her clothed body but their session was interrupted by the knock on the door.
James groaned in frustration and Bella chuckled seeing his reaction.
Bella checked her appearance and James set his hair and opened the door revealing the famous business king Arthur William
James smiled and shook his hand with the CEO of William corporation. James wanted some deal from Arthur so he planned a special surprise for him to make him happy
"Congratulations Mr Arthur for your other achievement," James said congratulating the biggest business in the country and Arthur smiled slightly at him.
Arthur's eyes fall on the beautiful Bella and there his breath got struck and her beautiful eyes were calling Arthur.
Arthur kept on looking at Bella who was looking conscious, she wiped her lips which are smudged by the lipstick
Bella was surprised because James never told her about his acquaintance with Arthur.
"I need to leave," Bella said being uncomfortable with the gaze of Arthur who looked at her as if she was his property.
"It was lovely spending time with you Bella," James said with playful in his eyes and the warmth in his eyes has gone. Bella was surprised to see James' behaviour
Bella left because the gazes of the two men were making her uncomfortable. Arthur kept on looking at her until she left.
"Who is she," Arthur asked unknowingly and James understood the lust that crowded Arthur's vision. he didn't like the lust in Arthur's eyes for Bella but he couldn't afford to offend Arthur
Investment from Arthur was very important for him because he wanted to grow his business and he didn't mind sacrificing Bella for that.
"She is only a one night stand and let me tell you man that she has a body to die for," James said with a chuckled and Arthur imagined the curves of Bella.
Arthur was a playboy and he has a lot of women in his life but this blue-eyed girl is something special and we want to devour her.
James loved Bella but not more than his business and he didn't care much because he knew that Bella wasn't the one who could fall into Arthur's charms because he knew that Bella is his.
"Why did you call me here, I don't have much time Arthur said being impatient because he wanted to capture that blue-eyed woman Bella, who took his interest at the first sight.
James planned everything to make Arthur happy because happy Arthur meant investment in James's business which wasn't doing well for the past month
"Just wait for here Arthur, I have a surprise for you that will take away your every tension," James said to the impatient Arthur who looked at him cockily
"I don't have time for this James, I am a busy man," Arthur said and indeed he was a busy man but right there he was eager to do something else
"Trust me, I will make you happy," James said and exit the room. Arthur looked around the room and find a bracelet lying on the fall.
Arthur picked it and it was studded with diamond, he smelled it and it was heavenly, the bracelet looked expensive
"So, that woman belongs to high society," Arthur thought unaware that he was going to create a storm in Bella's life.
Soon three women in lingerie enter the room to entertain Arthur who smiled evilly looking at the three beautiful women in front of him but nothing compares to the beauty of Bella
One woman with black lingerie goes toward the Arthur and helped him to get rid of his expensive clothes and made him sit on the bed
Arthur sat on the bed with one leg over the other and the girls started to shed their clothes one by one for the entertainment of Arthur but his mind was occupied by something else.
Five girls pleasured him in different ways and Arthur groaned in satisfaction.
He knew that James wanted the contract from his company and this is the reason that he had been doing this but Arthur didn't mix business with pleasure.
He shook his head at his stupidity of James and wore his clothes and get out of the room leaving naked girls behind.
He again got into the party and his eyes searched for the Bella, he saw her smiling with one of his past flings Scarlett.
Then he saw Bella going towards the washroom, he followed her because he wanted to have a taste of her just once.
Arthur followed Bella to the washroom without any care in the world this was the first time that he was feeling a certain attraction and he won't let it go.
There wasn't any crowd in that area so Arthur pulled Bella towards him by her hand
Bella falls on his hard chest and then her blue eyes meet the brown ones. She looked at him confused
"Mr Arthur do you need anything," Bella asked controlling her anger because she didn't want to mess with the influential man.
But indeed she was angry at Arthur for handling her like this.
"How much do you charge for your service," Arthur asked her without any emotion on his face
"Excuse me," Bella asked him angrily because she didn't give anyone the right to treat her like this.
"Drop the act, I will pay you more than James," Arthur said cockily unaware of the situatiom that Bella was barely controlling her anger
"Let me clear this, I am not what you think of me" Bella clarified since she heard about his cruel acts and she didn't want to be associated with this man in any manner.
she was angry at Arthur's boldness o but she controlled herself because she was at a high society party and she knew how to avoid such a man
"Don't act in front of me and follow me to my room, I will pay you as much as you want woman?" Arthur said and the last stroke of Bella's patience got broken
She slapped him hard on his face and by doing that she invited the dark storm into her life
"You stay within your limit, I don't care if you are a billionaire but I am not your property to touch however you like," Bella said to him in an angry voice and Arthur clenched his fist
"I am Bella smith and no one can touch me without my permission," Bella said in anger and her face turned red and she left angry Arthur alone
Arthur was fuming in anger because no one has ever laid a finger on her and this girl slapped him. This humiliation would cost Bella a lot. The anger soon turned into hatred in Arthur's heart and he vowed to treat this little fierce girl lesson.
Arthur with an angry face went behind Bella to teach her a lesson and then he saw her with Jason and carter who was soon going to be his business partner.
Arthur understood that Bella was no escort and his anger was directed toward James for lying to him but he would surely pay for it. He looked at Bella who was having a laugh with own of his friends.
He was not going to leave James for lying to him and making him feel humiliated. He went towards James and put a hand on his shoulder.
James turned around and looked at him with a smile but his smile soon faded when he saw his angry face of Arthur.
"What happened Arthur" James asked and he looked tense. Arthur controlled his anger because he couldn't make his mockery in front of everyone.
"Can I have a word with you?" Arthur said to him and plastered a fake smile on his face.
James become tensed and followed Arthur to the corner of the party. Arthur's eyes followed Bella who was laughing carelessly and looking at her he felt immense anger inside him.
"What the fu*k you told me about that girl," Arthur asked him in a deadly voice and point his finger at Bella. James gulped because he knew that his secret was out.
"I am sorry Arthur for telling you to lie but Bella and I were in a relationship for 4 years and I wanted to keep my personal affair secret" James admitted and Arthur hates liars and the insult that Bella throws at him was unbearable for the respected man like Arthur
"Your bitch dared to slap me and now I am not going to leave her. She messed with the wrong man" Arthur said to him seethed in anger.
He wanted to burn down this whole party for his insult.
James groaned internally regarding Bella's behaviour and he knew that Arthur was not the one to forgive easily but still he took a chance.
"Arthur please forgive her, she is immature and doesn't know what you are capable of" James pleaded with him because he loved Bella who dug his own grave.
James regretted not telling the truth about Bella's identity earlier but he had done all this because James didn't want the risk of exposing his relationship which he kept secret for long
"I am ready to give you the project that you want but I have one condition" Arthur played his card well and looked at James with a smirk.
James wanted this business project and he worked hard for it. His eyes filled with the greed for money
"I want the project and I am ready to do anything for it," James said in confidence but soon his confidence shattered when Arthur looked at him with his arched eyebrow.
Arthur was the shark in the business world and he knew well where to strike he identified the weak nerve of James and that was money.
"I want Bella and you are going to break her heart brutally and then you get the project: I want to see this girl crying and begging for love," Arthur said and the whole strategy build up in his mind.
He wanted to see Bella completely broken, he didn't want her to have a single ray of hope in her life.
James looked at Bella and he loved her but his dreams are more important to him and on top of it Bella signed her own death wish when she slapped Arthur.
Even if James said no to the project for Bella then Arthur would make sure that James would come on the road with Bella so James chose the decision which was for his welfare.
"I will do as you said but let me tell you that Bella will never love you because you are not her type. She hates snobbish people like you" James said to Arthur hoping that it would change his decision.
Arthur laughed at James' stupidity and his laugh was uncontrollable
"Love is not for me, I only take pleasure from girls and your Bella is nothing different. I will spend nights with her and destroy her big ego completely" Arthur said with a smirk on his face.
James thought Arthur took interest in Bella but his misunderstood cleared when Arthur stated his motive. He only wished for Bella to survive the storm that is knocking on her door.
James chose the greed of money over love.
If Arthur wanted something then he got it by hook or crook and this time Bella was her target.
Arthur wanted to crush Bella's big ego under which influence she slapped him.
"I will break her heart," James said with a sad face because he failed to protect his love. Arthur smiled looking at him because he always thought that James was a nice man but tonight he realised that James had a hunger for power in him.
It is true when people say that money could buy anything.
Arthur took a glass of scotch in his hand from the waiter passing by and he looked at Bella's smiling face. He was smiling with Jason without any care in this world.
Arthur wouldn't destroy her life if she didn't dare to slap him because for Arthur his ego was most precious and Bella wounded his most precious thing.
Arthur took an oath in his mind that he would have fun with Bella and then destroy her into pieces which could never be healed.
