The Painful Pleasures

Chapter 1

"Please stop!" she begged her adoptive mother as the whip continued to lash at her. Her body was covered in wounds, and she couldn't understand why she was still alive.

"You're useless! Stupid!" he struck her with the whip again. "Ouch! That hurts! Ouch!" she cried, tears streaming down her face. She was only 12 years old, yet she was already an assassin. She grew up in an orphanage, thinking it would be a good thing if someone adopted her, but she was wrong.

Lei Ong adopted her when she was only 8 years old. She was so happy because he was kind to her at first, when he used to visit her at the orphanage. But when the adoption became official, that's when her ordeal began.

"Stupid! Why didn't you kill Simoun?!" he slapped her again and again. At the age of twelve, she could hardly count how many people she had killed just because her adoptive father ordered her to. She tried to escape, but she failed. She was caught and tortured, almost violated by one of his men if she hadn't pretended to be asleep.

She failed her mission because she felt pity for the man she was supposed to kill. He had a family and he helped the poor. Simoun Agante was actually a Mayor in their city, but her adoptive father wanted him dead for reasons she couldn't fathom.

"S-sorry, please! It won't happen again!" she pleaded with the man, but he spat on her and kicked her in the stomach, making it hard for her to breathe. "Ouch." She groaned. "Next time you fail, I'm gonna kill you!" and he slammed her against the wall.

--------------------------

Fourteen years later...

"Mr. Villiarde, the president of Lazaro Industries wants to see you," his secretary said to him. He just nodded and went straight to the office, where Andrius Lazaro was waiting for him. "Hey bro!" Andrius approached him and they exchanged a brotherly hug. "Tch! It's been 8 years since we last met, but you're still the same! You're not talking! Are you mute?" his friend asked. "I'm not mute, I just don't talk too much." Andrius rolled his eyes again.

"So, what's up bro? Your brothers are happily married now, but you, you still don't have a girlfriend? Just what the heck, man," he remarked. "Look who's talking." Andrius paused in his speech and smirked. "Actually, I have someone right now. And guess who she is." He just shrugged. His friend scowled, so he sighed. "So who is she?" he asked, sounding bored. His friend just chuckled. "It's a secret." He shook his head, Andrius was always a prankster.

"What do you want?" he asked his friend directly, and he was met with a sharp look. "You're so serious, man! Just wanted to check on you and, uhh..." Andrius checked his watch. "Oh heck! Bro, I need to go! Nice seeing you, just read that paper beside you and call me!" and he left the office in a rush. He quickly picked up the paper and read it.

He shook his head in disbelief. It was an invitation to a wedding... wait, Andrius' wedding? "Time flies so fast."

He was about to step into the private elevator when a woman with her hair in pigtails hurriedly joined him. "What the hell are you doing here?" he asked the woman. She turned to him, raised an eyebrow, and he caught his breath. Damn! She's beautiful! "What are you doing in the elevator, handsome? This is my floor." Then she gave him an annoyed look. His jaw dropped. Didn't she recognize him?

"Do you not recognize me?" he asked again, looking at her. "Getting too familiar, handsome? I just saw you now, don't act like you're famous." His jaw dropped. Wasn't she aware of who he was?

"What the hell just happened?"

"Helios Villiarde is the owner and CEO of H.V Hotel. He's a graduate of Law from Harvard University and one of the most sought-after lawyers in the world. You need to kill him because he will be the lawyer for the Zapanta Group of Corporations. The Zapantas can't win the case against your father." Winston Lajarde, his father's right-hand, briefed her about her next mission. She deliberately rode the elevator with Helios Villiarde, and the man didn't notice that she was observing him.

Killing is nothing to her now. If she doesn't kill, she will be the one to die at the hands of her adoptive father. And she doesn't want to go through that again. She's done with all the tortures she experienced when she was a child. What's even more painful is that she never got to go to a hospital to treat herself.

She just let her wounds heal. She didn't use any medicine or bandages. Her father didn't feed her for two weeks and locked her in a very dark room for three months straight. From that day on, she promised herself that she would follow all the orders of her adoptive father just to avoid going through that again. She will kill anyone, whether old, young, or whoever they may be. She has no conscience, no mercy, and no love.

She doesn't want to experience the hell she went through again.

"Got it, boss," she answered. Winston looked at her and spoke. "Always remember X, NO CONSCIENCE, NO MERCY AND--" "No love," she finished his sentence. "X, I know that there is still guilt you're feeling inside. You're still scared." She just rolled her eyes. "Shut up, Winston, or else I'm gonna blow that mouth using my gun." Winston just grinned and raised his hands as if surrendering. She rolled her eyes again and walked away.

"I'm going to kill you, Helios Villiarde."

chapter 2

"Hey X." she turned around and saw Winston standing behind her. She just looked at him while raising her left eyebrow. Winston sat next to her while looking at the stars.

"Why won't you just run away from your dad? Well, he's not your real father anyway. you're older enough and stronger to escape from him. You're actually better from your father." Winston said. She looked at him. Is he trying to make me betray my father?

"It doesn't work that way Winston. You know my father, if I escape. He'll just call his men to look for me. and once, I'm back to his territory, he'll torture me." She closed her eyes tightly.

Those are the days when she tried to escape but ended up being tortured and locked in a room without any source of light or food. a human only last a week without drinking water, so she saved what was given to her in one liter of impure water for three months. They made her eat foods that are either expire or leftovers. At the age of 12 years old, she lost count of the number of people she killed. she's a murderer.

"You can kill him. You can be happy." she looked at Winston who was still looking at the sky. The difficult thing about this man is that he is very difficult to read. He knows how to hide his emotions, knows how to pretend, and you'll never know if he's telling the truth. so even though the man tells her this, she doesn't send it. he's still her father's right hand and he's maybe trying to test her loyalty to her father.

"I'll never runaway. For what? I'm already a murderer I can't change my life anymore. I'll never be able to live my life normally. I can't be happy because every time I do, something bad happens." She just said then walked away.

Helios can't focus on his work because the beautiful girl's face who's in the elevator with him keeps on popping in his mind. and her voice, she just talked to him -sarcastically but he feels differently. Every time he hears her voice he's having a massive erection. Every night he had sex with a woman, which he didn't do much before. he's not like Xenon who loves fucking with girls, he can't live without sex.

"Sir, are you okay?" asked his assistant, he just nodded. Fuck I still need to work on my new case!

He shook his head again and read. he's now working on Zapanta's daughter who got kidnapped and tortured by Lei Ong - a businessman and at the same time Chinese drug dealer. No one else knows that that man is a drug lord and he'll tell that in court. the lawyer of the rival group is too strong that's why he needs to stop thinking about that beautiful lady and focus on his work!

It's actually his first time to think about a woman so often, he doesn't even care about them but now, what happened? Is that girl some kind of witch?

"Mr. Villiade, your new assistant is here." he just nodded without looking at the person in front of him. "Good morning sir. I'm Xenova Nessa, your new assistant." His eyes widened. He knows that voice! He immediately looked at the person in front of him and gasped. She's that woman!

"Hey handsome! You're Mr. Villiarde? Nice to meet you! There, I already know you. You're shit famous." Besides, she giggled.

"You're that girl in the elevator!" he even taught it.

"Yes I am!" she said proudly while chewing gum. "Hey, I'll just eat it? I know you wait, I have more here. Oh, it's yours." besides, it was given to him.

Wait, she's my assistant?

"You're my new assistant?" he asked here, the girl named Xenova Nessa nodded like a kid then smiled widely. She smiled and sat down again. "Have a seat Ms. Nessa."She followed him.

"What can you do for me as my assistant?" he asked.

"I'll do everything that you want me to do." This was her only answer while smiling.

'Everything that I want her to do?'

He grinned in his mind. Damn, his wild imagination is burning him up. what if he asks this girl to spread her legs and scream for him while he's entering her wet pussy? He bit his lip a lot.

"Can you speak softly? Your voice is kinda loud and I hate it when my assistant is talking like that. And your moves, can you act professional?" He's serious. because it's like shouting when she talks and it annoys him.

He saw her grinning and smiling seductively, he gulped. She even bit her lips! "Okay... sir..." he silently cursed when he heard her seductive voice. She just spoke softly but he's already having an erection! "T-that's it. just be like that."

Fuck! Why am I stammering?! She's not even moaning and here I am having a boner just by hearing her voice talking softly! "Tired please, just like this. Maybe that won't affect your work, right?" He rolled his eyes, there it is! he's enjoying her voice but it's back to a shouting manner, like a Filipina tone, or God knows what kind of tone is that!

"That tone annoys me, so just keep the soft tone to make me feel comfortable." - And horny.

Xenova just pouted her lips. why is she so beautiful when doing that? God knows how he wants to bite those lips right now.

Fuck, his heart hurts, he needs a cold shower! He cleared his throat before talking. "You may leave now Ms. Nessa, you'll start tomorrow." She smiled at him. "Okay boss! I'll see you tomorrow muah!" She gave him a flying kiss before finally leaving his office so his pants got even tighter.

"She'll be the death of me."

"Aahhh... X-xenova... ahh. shit." He keeps on moaning with his eyes closed. He's imagining that the woman she's fucking right now is Xenova, moaning and screaming his name in pleasure and that helps him like it even more.

"X-xenova..." he groaned when the girl stood up and faced him. "Who the Xenova are you talking about?! I'm Xiana!" the woman shouted he rolled his eyes then looked into her eyes -boringly. "Would you shut up and continue what you're doing? or else I'll tell your boyfriend that I already fucked you before him. Imagine, you're already getting married and here you are, having sex with me" he grinned, fear is visible in her face. they continued their session and soon it ended, with the help of Xenova's face and voice in his imagination he immediately reached the sky.

"Y-you will never tell Grodel about this right?" the girl said while he was changing his clothes. He smirked and approached her. he hugged her and whispered to her ears. "I'll never tell him... he'll know about it himself because if you two will be fucking each other, he'll know that you're not a virgin anymore." He grinned. He released the hug and left the girl stunned.

it's not his fault, the woman seduced him. He knows that girl. She's a gold-digger. He feels sorry for the Grodel - the soon to be husband of Xiana whom he just fucked.

Xenova is roaming inside H.V hotel's rooms and hallways to count all the CCTV's. She also checked the CCTV room and saw two guards stationed at its door. Tch, their security is tight. She casually walked towards Helios' office - her new boss.

She faked her information. Even though she didn't attend school, she knew how to fake documents, disable CCTVs, hack systems, and more. She was trained to deceive, fight, handle various weapons, and protect herself if her target fought back.

She entered the office and locked the door. She looked around the room.

No CCTVs?

She smirked. Maybe her new boss brings women here and he doesn't want his actions recorded. What? Guys will always be guys. They have needs and she knows that. She might be a virgin but she's not innocent.

Her eyes landed on Helios' tidy desk. She needed to find more information about him. He's known as a private person, he doesn't talk much about his family.

She tried to open the cabinet, but it was password-locked. "Now this is cool," she said to herself. She entered her password, a sort of automatic key that could open anything. It works like a virus, once you type it, it retrieves and mimics the password. The cabinet opened, but then she saw the doorknob moving. "Shit." She quickly closed the cabinet, casually sat on the couch, put a magazine over her face, and pretended to be asleep with her mouth slightly open.

---

Helios woke up late in the morning. He had stayed up working on the Zapanta's case and some paperwork for his hotel until around 3 or 4 am. He also edited the photographs he took while in New York.

He's an artistic person, he loves to draw, paint, and photograph things.

Helios arrived at his hotel at 10 am, which was unusually late for him. Even though he's the boss, he despised being late for work.

As he entered the hotel, his employees bowed and greeted him. "Good morning sir." Even the guests were smiling at him. He just nodded at them and took the elevator to his floor. As he entered, he suddenly remembered Xenova, the first time he saw her. He immediately wondered if she was in his office. The elevator doors opened, and he went straight to his office. He was about to open the door, but he was surprised to find it locked.

He never locks his office!

He took out his key and unlocked the door. Upon entering, he saw a woman sleeping on the couch with her mouth slightly open.

Mouth open?

"Shit." He cursed. Damn, he could see Xenova's underwear from where he was standing! He gulped. He approached the woman and gently removed the magazine covering her face. He tried to shake her awake, but she suddenly pulled him, causing him to sit on the couch. He was about to stand up when the woman wrapped her leg around his waist and hugged him tightly.

Oh no... he bit his lips, and he was sure his lips were turning red from biting them so hard. He stiffened even more when Xenova tightened her grip on him and nuzzled his neck. He let out a quiet moan when Xenova licked his neck. "Ms. Nessa-uh... wake up." He was suppressing his moans. Damn!

"Chocolates. So delicious." She even lightly bit his neck. What the hell?! She's dreaming about chocolates?! "Xenova, please wake up. Or else you're not gonna like what I'm gonna do to you." He said in a loud voice.

Xenova is enjoying teasing Helios, he's obviously having a boner right now. That's it, she should seduce him. "Xenova, please wake up or else you're not gonna like what I'm gonna do to you." She stiffened, shit! Helios is still a man!

She slowly let go of Helios as if she was about to wake up. "Umm." she grunted then she slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Helios and his pants, she secretly smirked. "Hello handsome, sorry I overslept. Am I noisy?" she asked. Helios stood up and glared at her.

in her mind she was laughing. Obviously, he's mad at her, because he pissed off his manhood. "You should know you're not allowed to sleep here!" she smiled and scratched her neck. "I'm sorry sir! Promise! next time, it won't happen again" she raised her right hand as if making a promise.

Helios turned his back and walked towards of his bathroom here in his office.

But before Helios entered in bathroom he spoke again which made her gape.

"You should never do that again or else I'm gonna fuck you hard until you wake up Ms. Nessa.".
