My PESKY Boss

*Chapter one*

" I am not a virgin anymore!" repeated Valeria Thompson for the umpteenth time. Her tear-stained cheeks became wet again. She had done something truly scandalous. Unconsciously, she banged her head on the steering wheel bringing about it to hoot loudly.

" Do you want to get me caught? This is not my car" she reprimanded the car pointing sternly at the steering wheel pouting her lips.

Valeria was a sunset brunette. Her hair was shoulder length and mostly curly at the edges and a bit black at the roots. Her lips had a forever touch of shiny lip gloss naturally red. She was incredibly beautiful.

Valeria Thompson came from a small country in the Northern part of the world which was going through famine and extreme poverty. Being the only girl in a family of eight she opted to find a job in another country in the south. She lost her parents at a very young age and only had her grandparents who took care of her however they were now old and their pension was restrained. Who was going to take care of them and her six brothers?

" I only came here to fend for myself but Lydia... Lydia my best friend scammed me of my money and sold me to traffickers who handle prostitution and now I lost my virginity to someone I barely know and I am in a country illegally "she cried out bitterly choking on her saliva finding it grueling to even breathe in the Maybach GLS.

Valeria had earned some money from dancing in a club back in her country, for it was the fastest way to get money because soldiers stopped by there after they suppressed riots in the country. She gave this money to a best friend who spent her money.

Valeria had been in the clutches of the traffickers for a month, crying and begging them to let her go. Every attempt would lead to fractures and broken bones which would be left to time to heal.

Luckily, yesterday they got her ready for her first client and an old man.

FLASHBACK

It was afternoon...

The door to the underground room suddenly opened with force, and a bunch of girls rushed into the room. Valeria squinted her eyes, shading them with her palms over her face till she slowly adjusted to the bright light from the outside that sipped into the room through the opened door.

The bright light nearly blinded her, as her eyes had not seen light in weeks, since she had been kept in this dark room for almost a month now.

She quickly sprung up on her feet, her eyes already starting to well up with tears.

"What do you people want from me?!"" She cried. "Please let me go! And... what have you done to my friend, Lydia?!"

They all laughed softly at her ignorance.

" Your friend personally handed you over to our boss. She can't save you " one of the ladies scoffed.

Though it was not the first time they said this to her,Valeria could not believe it. They were childhood friends after all. Plus, she saw them drag her friend away at the borders the very way they did to her, however they were separated along the way as they were in separate trains.

In all, it was unbelievable.

" What are you doing? Let me go and what have you done to my friend... why are lying to me she loves me and can never stoop so low. " She cried fighting them off.

The one who appeared to be the leader sighed and said " Shut her up but don't hurt her this time. Our client likes his toys intact "

She was struggling too much so the leader knocked her out with the bottom of her gun.

In less than two hours, she was dressed in blue sexy lingerie which left almost nothing to the imagination, it was covered up by a denim jacket. Valeria gained consciousness, she could not recognize the lady reflected in the mirror.

Her hair was let down and adorned with flowers and an enchanting fragrance amidst the air.

At this time they handed over to her a bottle of champagne and personally escorted her with a gun pointing at her little head to the desired room.

" Use the key card and open the room!" it was a voice which did not give a chance for any denial.

Before she could do it, the door opened and a man in his late fifties dripping in sweat and half naked pulled a n*de girl out of the room by pulling her by a leg.

" This one is defective. She fainted after the sixth round. When will you guys give me someone who suits the amount I gave you" the man complained, contorting his already wrinkled face.

Subconsciously his eyes fell on the 1.6m beauty dressed beautifully; it was the scent oozing from her that got his attention.

The man stopped gawking for a while then turned his gaze to the ladies who brought his new toy " Wow! She looks out of this world but is so-so fragile. Are you sure she would handle me?"

Valeria looked at the man disgustedly, still keeping her head down. She had learned the hard way that staring into their eyes led to broken bones. At this moment she could not feel her fingers.

The two women who accompanied her laughed meaningfully. Instantly the blonde in their midst injected a substance into her veins and pushed her into the open room.

One of the ladies pointed out " She is all yours now"

Tears filled Valeria's eyes she cursed and cried out " Please do not leave me here. I promise to be good and I w-will n_never try to escape again"

Sadly, it all fell on deaf ears. She watched how they dragged the unconscious girl away ruthlessly bumping her into objects.

The old man kneeled on one knee, caressing her chin " Hey pretty one. Do not ruin your fantastic make-up by crying over spilled milk. Listen to my orders and I will spoil you"

She shot him a deathly glare and it was rewarded with a hard slap across her face from him.

" You b*tch "

He pulled her and threw her to the bed. For a man his age, he was surprisingly very strong.

" Now I will teach you a good lesson. And every time I drop here I will eat only you my -little feisty SLUT" his slimy fingers roam on her smooth skin, causing Val to flinch at his disgusting touch.

In a quick second, she pushed him and kicked him in his vital part.

" Not even in my nightmares" she bellowed, staring down at him.

He fell into a groin holding his vital area in pain.

With that, she made him unconscious by pressing a special nerve on his neck. A trick she learned from one of the soldiers who courted her. They were to get married but he was killed in the field.

Thinking about him made her tear up, however it was not time to cry. She instantly ran out of the room, her body getting hotter by the moment.

" There she is .. get her!" she heard one of the security men yell pointing at her

Springing from her feet she ran endlessly upstairs to another floor. The first room she saw opened and she rushed in closing the door.

" Thank you l-lord," said Valeria panting heavily by the door which was now closed.

" Who are you? Take off your clothes" she heard a commanding voice from the dark.

Valeria felt her inner skin getting hot, nonetheless, she could not take off the jacket if so it would be left with only the lingerie she had on.

" I think you got the wrong girl. I came here by mistake-e" Val corrected, taking two cautious steps back.

" Why are you panting so much?" She heard him ask slowly.

Valeria shut her eyes to curb the urge she was feeling. It was new and she despised it.

"I th...think I... have been... d...drugged..." the words were spilled with so much difficulty. She felt the substance spread rapidly taking over her emotions.

As it was a spell, the man in the darkness rushed to her pushing her against the wall. He kissed her forcefully.

" Me too " his hoarse voice echoed in the room.

" You taste good. Let's help each other"in less than a second, he took over her lips obsessively.

Before she could resist the drug took over and he tore her lingerie to shreds. He had been dying in silence in the room thankfully this girl came along or else it would have killed him. It was not the normal drug that arouses sexual pleasure this was deadly, after this night he would not spare the person who did this.

The next morning, she woke up feeling an intense pain between her legs. This man had taken her more than seven rounds which she lost count in between and it was not altogether his fault. She was extremely insatiable like a starving baby. He kept on flipping her and she thanked him with her shameless moans.

Thinking of this her ears and cheeks became immediately flushed. She stared at the man lying on the king-sized bed though she did not see his face because his back was facing her. She saw his broad shoulders and the platinum dagger tattoo on his back. Her mind drifted to how selfless he was in putting her desires before his, which she heard from friends was impossible to have got from a man. It was truly an amazing first which will be forever in her memory.

Getting off slowly, she tiptoed to the cupboard to get something that whereas her clothes were in shreds. Finding nothing that suited her, she took out a shirt that covered her knee with no panties on. She felt air cooling down the hot and sore area between her thighs.

It felt good.

On her way out she took his keys and loose change found rushing out of the hotel like a mad woman without ever looking back.

Luckily, she took his car and left that awful hotel and now she was miles away from it.

"I promise to return your car, mister..." Val said with determination, sparing the hotel one last look before swerving into a dark street.

PRESENTLY

*Chapter two *

PRESENTLY

Xander Gates's eyes shimmered from beams of sun puckering into the room and reflecting on his face. He had a sweet smile on as memories of last night overran his mind.

" Damn that girl was ..." his words were cut short by a girl in crop top and silk mini skirt.

" Girl? Which girl? ...wait don't tell me you are fantasizing about another woman in my presence "

His eyes opened immediately to face Olivia Lance. The girl he had been toying with to get her father to accept the terms of his contract.

Olivia was a tall glamorous platinum blonde who is one of the most famous supermodels in the City of FL.

At this moment the short man who looked older than her as he was in his late forties said " He is not envisioning. A girl was here last night can't you see the uncomfortable used condoms in that trash bin"

Olivia observed the direction of Alfredo's arm. She was stunned and a bit taken aback.

Normal people usually use a minimum of two condoms but ..he used an entire packet with this girl and it was all torn.

' What if he gets her pregnant? All those condoms are broken? ' she thought, cursing inwardly.

Like an active volcano, she erupted " You...I will let my father know"

Instantaneously, the girl began wrecking the hotel room like a mad woman. This attitude stymied him, they were not even dating.

" What we had was only a fling? If it even had a name"he scoffed earnestly.

" A fling? " She hurled up the closest object towards him, it was too late for him to dodge so it brushed his lips negligibly making them bleed.

" A fling is a one-night stand! but you used me for three years. I gave you everything...jerk "she shot another object but he grabbed it this time.

Olivia was bewildered so she raised a question " Why are you smiling? Do I amuse you?"

" You look so cute, " he teased, taking two steps forward.

His lips connected to hers in a gentle kiss. This rendered her weak in the knees. She suddenly felt bad for injuring him.

It was an awesome trick he picked up. She was so easy to convince every time.

" I am sorry. Alfredo brought a first aid kit " she navigated him to the bed where she stood scowling at the wounded spot.

The outsider in the room scratched his hair gobsmacked by the exclusive circumstance.

" But ma'am...condoms? " Alfredo challenged, pulling on Olivia's elbow softly.

Olivia's eyes flared up in outrage.

" Shut up "

Alfredo scratched his head in confusion. ' I can never understand this woman, she found out he cheated on her and has forgiven him without any received apology, tsk tsk '

He watched her care for his boss so delicately with a strange expression on his face.

Was it Love or madness?

Miss Olivia had been running after Xander for as long as he could remember, was it that she blind to his mistakes or she had found a way to convince herself that he was equally desperately in love with her? He could do nothing but give them privacy.

Moments after the intruder left, Olivia began softly. " You left in a hurry last night and you got me worried. I know you were not prepared for .... "

Not expecting this, he chimed in brutally as always " I do not want to marry you Olivia and I thought I made it clear yesterday "

" Yes? You did nonetheless... " she smiled at him bitterly suppressing her tears. Caressing his hand she pleaded sweetly " Could you not refute without dragging my family in the mud. For Christ's sake, you called me a f* whore to a congregation of about a hundred important personalities and paparazzi "

Instantly he pulled out his hand and stood up

" Well! Aren't you? " he remembered with a smile propping on his lips.

" Xander!... " She called out with teary eyes.

" You are hardly in my life due to your career and when you return all you do is drag me so you could trap me with pregnancy " his words were cold and direct.

However, it did not ever cross her mind that he would be aware that she spiked his drink like she did previous times.

However,she played the blame game smartly. Batting her eyelashes as if she were to cry, Olivia bellowed " We have been dating for over three years, you don't touch me nor talk about our future. Therefore I took desperate measures. "

He turned to face the Monster he had created from scratch. This was the innocent little girl who was fond of tangling her fingers in his hair now she is drugging him for s*x.

A girl who he changed her nappy and held her hand to school on the first day. She was someone he considered dear.

Pathetic!

Controlling his temper he questioned " When did you lose all your morals? "

This was not the first or second nor third time he had asked this question and she Only replied with tears.

" I love you Xander and I will always love you," said Olivia, hugging him from behind tightly.

Regardless Xander peeled off her hands and warned her by pointing out his index finger in rage.

" Get out. It is over whatever your messed up head thought we were doing"

Hastily Olivia fell on her knees begging restlessly as she held his trouser.

" I have loved you my whole life, please do not do this to me" she continued begging and crying. Though the scene was all pitiful, Xander was not the type to go back on any decision he took even if he was stoned or drunk at the time. What less of this in a very sober state?

He had lost his virginity to a stranger who might have had diseases, thankfully she was also a virgin. This was not to be taken lightly, Olivia needed to be punished, she had been using the loss of her mother as a ticket to do away with anything.

" Pack your bags. You will be taking a vacation to Cube city"

His words made her cry more, causing her to sniff. Knowing Xander, it was inévitable.

At this moment, Alfredo rushed in sweating heavily and panting like a dog.

" Xander, she took your car along. This is the note" he hastily explained panting heavily.

Reaching out he took the note from Alfredo. It was a pink sheet of paper and the handwriting on it was stylish with his one-night stand( Valeria) appeared to love dotting her I with hearts.

It read * I promise to return your car and the cash I found. Check in the nearest police station. Please sir don't file a complaint, I am not a thief. Thanks in advance. *

After reading the note, a smile curled up on the corners of his lips.

" You have a minimum of four days before you leave" he stated leaving no chance for denial.

Initially, he was to escort them to the airport, strangely after reading this note he felt like giving them another chance to Olivia.

If he could not file a complaint against someone who stole his car, why could he not forgive his childhood sweetheart?

* Chapter 3

Val scoured the car for any spare clothes, thankfully luck was on her side; for she found a shirt and trousers which seemed to be just her size.

She studied the neighborhood stands and the post newspaper in her hands for any news for jobs

Standing under a shade eating steamed buns, Val let out a loud sigh " Bah! All these jobs require a CV but I don't have one. I lost all my credentials to those baboons. How will I get employed now?

Meticulously, she spotted a group of men transporting bags of cement into a truck. Behind them was a short and fat middle-aged woman wearing a frown.

As if bitten, Val sprang up. She quickly ate all the buns and walked towards the group of men.

" You guys are so slow. Hurry up, I need all this at my warehouse in City V" the middle-aged woman screamed, supporting her arms on her thick waist.

That was how the depressed feeling evaporated and it was covered by a sweet smile. Val coughs out to get their attention.

" Greetings, Ma'am I overheard you needed more help.

The men working stopped to laugh at the stupid woman who wanted to do a man's work.

" Marie Antoinette. Hahaha " they all jeered.

The woman scanned Val from her toe and then laughed mockingly. " You who looks like an aid patient. How can you help me?.

However, Val was not offended; she was indeed very thin due to the poor treatment she received back at the brothel. Plus, she needed a job as soon as possible.

" Ma'am give me a chance" she raised her cerulean blue eyes pitifully.

The middle-aged woman clapped her hands in shock. She then looked at the men with worry in her eyes.

' My husband insisted I take this to the warehouse and these men looked tired. Should I hire this girl? '

She sighed, pointing to a stock of cement bags at her right "Fine! Try carrying this first then I will see if you can handle these bags. Each person has to carry fifty bags of cement "

Coincidentally, both hoped inwardly that she could carry the heavy fifty kilos of cement. With aid from the woman, Val placed the bag on her shoulders.

Though it was a crushing pain, she gritted her teeth and walked hastily to the truck where she passed it onto the guy who stood in the truck placing the bags in order.

Next, she took another bag once again in quick intervals.

" Is she a woman?"

" Oh my goodness, this girl is in her thirtieth bag," said another to his companion as they stared at Val approaching carrying two bags this time.

After passing it on, Val returned for another with a proud smile on her face for she had managed to shut them up.

Finally, she transported thirty eight bags of cement.

" What is your name, lady?" Val heard the squeaky voice of her boss.

Instantly she bowed her head, a training she learned at the coffee plantations back home. It was a sign of respect and it could make you the boss's favorite.

"Ma'am: I am Valeria, ma'am. " She introduced clasping her palms together.

Like Magic, it worked, and the middle-aged woman's smile grew in pride. She felt like she was above everything, these men were never this respectful towards her.

A smile curled up on the middle aged woman's lips " Nice job Valeria. You worked hard more than anybody today even though they all started before you. So, as encouragement, I will add the twenty dollars to the said payment. "

Valeria's eyes widened as she fell on her knees with her head still bowed in respect. " Oh, ma'am. Thank you so much; you don't know how much you have helped me Thank you ... "

The men grumbled among themselves, they stared at the girl in hate.

' Why did she get a raise in barely a day when we have been working for this ugly woman for a month? '

Like that they all dispersed in resentment after receiving their due payments.

Still, on her knees, Val continued " ma'am please can I spend my nights in this warehouse ... '

Valeria watched the woman's expression smartly. She immediately pouted her lip and looked up with teared-up eyes.

" I am going to be like the gateman you never hired. I mean you don't need to pay me " she jested immediately, kicking into short laughter.

When her boss heard this, she smiled inwardly while physically acting indifférent.

" Take care of my warehouse, it might be empty but..."

Instantly Val stood up raising put three fingers to swear. " I swear on my brother's life"

The middle-aged woman sighed once more before opting to leave.

" Wait, ma'am"

" What do you want now? Free lunch"

This made Val chuckle a bit.

" Oh..that would be wonderful however I need to use your phone to call my family so ...they wouldn't worry"

" First my warehouse then my phone, what next my husband?"

To this Val remained silent bowing still.

##

" I lost contact with you guys because of some problem with my immigration papers but now it is all fine. With my great credentials, I may get a job as the CEO" she spoke proud and loud

The voice from the other side of the phone sighed " You are always joking dear. Well, I am beyond happy to have talked to you. Your grandpa has stopped eating ..."

Upon hearing this from her grandma, Val covered the phone and cried out in pain. Her beloved grandpa had been starving himself because he was worried about her whereabouts. Gaining her voice, she spoke childishly while giggling

" He is lucky, he is asleep at this moment. Or I would have scolded him so bad "

Her grandmother laughed out loud. " No no. Thankfully my husband is asleep. "

At this moment, Val took notice of her boss glaring at her. She quickly laughed again before saying goodbye.

" Greet my brothers and grand Papi and please do not save this number, it is not mine. I am still to buy a phone"

" Ok, dear. Take care: we love you remember that"

" I know my grandmother. I also love you guys... desperately" she later blew a kiss before hanging up.

A few days later after working at that warehouse, Val finally made enough money which could take care of the bills for her family. She also bought a secondhand phone which she used to communicate with her family daily to make up for the times she could not contact them

Presently, she has left with just money for some steam buns for the next three days. Luckily she spent the nights in the warehouse sleeping on cartons.

Valeria returned from the compulsory thirty minute break. She strolled happily to the warehouse where she noticed a chaotic situation by the shop.

" There she is" Val saw her Boss point at her furiously.

" She is the thief"

Baffled by the middle-aged woman's words, Val turned behind to see if the woman might have pointed at another person who might be behind. Sadly, her finger was fixed on Valeria.

" Me?" she asked, shocked by the accusation, her eyes widened.

This seemed to annoy the woman more, she rushed and slapped Val hard

" Yes! You Thief"

" Thief? But..." Why would this lady call her a thief all of a sudden. Val's eyebrow creased.

" You are under arrest for stealing the sum of 100000 dollars from your boss. I advise you to remain quiet or anything you say or do might be used against you in a court of law. If you can't afford a lawyer the state will provide one"

Val's mouth fell agape and her eyes bulged as tears began piling. Hoping they assuaged her curiosity she remarked" What is happening? What money? ... the court... lawyer...arrest"

Without any explanation, she was handcuffed and could only hear the middle-aged woman sputtering out curses in her wails.

From the corner of her eyes, Val spotted her colleagues smiling at each other.

Immediately she placed two and two together.

' I was framed by those jealous men '

" Ma'am. Listen, I did not steal from you. They did, not me. They are jealous and are trying to frame me" yelled Val as they commanded her to get into the van.

Starved, bitten, and cursed were the order of the day for Valeria. She was kept in the women's cell along with three other women

It was her fourth day in the cell, however, she never said a word to anyone. She only mumbled to herself and admitted crying.

Her cellmates found it ludicrous and would mock her.

Seeing Valeria had stopped her murmurings, one of the cellmates stood up from the bench she sat on which was opposite Val's. She strode then sat next to Val with a wide grin of mischief plastered on her face " Hey Cinderella where is your prince"

" Hey, Cinderella, it is almost midnight. Where is your prince?" ridiculed another with a snake tattoo on her arm. She was Agnès, the oldest among them all. The one who was the most feared and respected

Although,Valeria was fed up with their constant torturing. She was more concerned with how her family was faring. It had been four days since they had not heard from her..

What if her grandpa starved himself once more or worse his blood pressure rose? It was a situation that was devouring her continuously.
