Angelina's POV
Like everyday, I get up and go to my bathroom. After taking a shower, I put on a white loose shirt with black ripped jeans and walked towards the kitchen to make breakfast for myself.
A few minutes later I made my breakfast and put it on the dinning table. Suddenly my phone started ringing. I grabbed my cell phone and looked at the screen to see who was calling me early in the morning. Unknowingly, smile spread across my face after seeing the caller's ID and I received the
call.
"Hello" I answered the call
"Where are you" a sweet voice came from the other line
"Well good morning to you too" I greeted sarcastically
"Tell me where are you I don't have time for this greeting shit" I rolled my eyes and took a sip from my juice
"Girl, I asked you a question" She yelled
"Where do you think I should be right now" I yelled back
"No need to yell, OK! It was not my fault that you lost your job and now you are unemployed, "She said calmly
"Yeah! Yeah! It was me who called my boss's wife and told her about all his affairs, right?" I said sarcastically
"You know, Angel. I did it for your sake. That man was so rude towards you, I couldn't stand it" She replied in almost weeping voice.
And again I rolled my eyes playfully. Infact, I love her bitchy nature and what she did to my boss, I am really happy for that. But the problem is, now I have to find a new job. That Sucks
"Alright, tell me, why did you call?" I asked
"Seriously Angel, one day you'll die from my hands. Silly girl, today is my engagement. There is a function tonight in my mansion. I told you a week ago and here you don't remember about this important event" She
scolded me and I mentally slapped myself for forgetting about her engagement.
"Who told you I don't remember huh? Of course I remember and I know you called me to inform me the time of the function, right?" I said contentedly but I knew she would not believe my lie
"Okay, come to the function at 7 o'clock in the evening. I will punish you for this big fat lie of yours at that time." He said which made me laugh
"Fine! We will see who will punishes whom" I said with a smirk pulling up on the corners of my lips and I am sure she can feel my smirk without watching me
"Yeah, we will see now bye!" she hung up quickly and I again chuckled at her behaviour. We've been friends for eight years and
whenever she try to punish me she ends up getting punished by me in the end.
Her name is Jennifer Smith. She is the daughter of the famous businessman Edward Smith. Whereas, I am an orphan,
I met her in middle school. I used to stay far away from rich people but she was something else. She was not a spoiled child and when she asked me for friendship I couldn't say no after watching her puppy eyes.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the text message. I unlocked my mobile and saw that it came from Jennifer.
"My driver will pick you up at 6 o'clock." She texted
I was about to reply back when I received another message
"And I don't want to hear NO," I smiled and replied her back with "OK"
Even she is the daughter of a famous businessman but I have never used her and I never will. She even asked me for the job in her father's company but I refused it. I don't like to take favors from other people.
I quickly finished my breakfast and went out to look for a job. Seriously, life sucks sometimes.....

After searching for hours, I finally got a job in a cafe. After meeting the owner of the cafe, i left for home to get ready for the function.
As Jennifer said, the driver arrived at 6 p.m. I greeted him and sat inside the car. After a few minutes we finally reached the mansion. I
opened the door and came out of the car and made my way inside.
At Mansion
As I stepped inside, my eyes roomed on every corner of the hall to search for Jenny. But I couldn't find her, as I was searching for her someone put their hands over my eyes to cover them.
"Guess who?" I chuckled at her childish behaviour and replied
"Bitch" She laughed and uncovered my eyes. I turned around and hugged her
"Come on let me meet you to my father" She grabbed my hand and dragged me towards her father
"Dad, look, Angel is here" She said joyfully, to which Mr. Smith smiled and hugged me. Mr. Smith loves me as much as his daughter. He always helped me in difficult situations.
"Now that you've arrived, teach your friend some manners. After all, today is her engagement but she is still acting like a 5-year-old who's going to cut her birthday cake." Mr. Smith said teasingly to which Jennifer pouted.
"Dad...." She whined by clutching his sleeve "Why do you always tease me"
Mr. Smith and I laughed when we saw her complaining like a kid. Looking at her like this, no one can tell that she is going to be engaged today.
We were talking and laughing when all of a sudden the women in the hall gasped in shock. I turned around to saw what had happened, but met with
Grey eyes. There was a man standing there who looked around 30 years old. He was wearing an elegant black suit and was looking very handsome. I could hear women's whispers about how handsome this man was.
Mr. Smith excused himself and went to meet that man. That man averted his eyes from me and shook hands with Mr. Smith.
"Jenny, who is he?" I asked her
"Love at first sight, huh," She teased, I said rolling my eyes
"I was just curious."
"His name is Xavier Knight, He is the CEO of X.K company and he is also Dad's business partner. He became famous at a very young age and he
is also very handsome. All the girls are head over heels for him." She replied calmly
I hummed and took a sip from my drink. I was constantly feeling someone's eyes on me but I didn't Dare to look at the owner of those eyes.
Soon the function started, Jennifer and her fiancé exchanged rings with each other. Then everyone joined the floor for the dance. I was having a drink and getting bored when someone came up to me.
"Can I have a dance with this beautiful lady" I looked up and saw Xavier. For a moment, I forgot to breath.
'Damn he is looking so handsome' My inner voice
echoed in my head. I came back to my senses when he cleared his throat and asked.
"Can I dance with you" He extended his hand for me to take. I looked at his hand and then his face
"I am sorry, I cannot dance," I said politely
I thought he would go back but the next moment he grabbed my glass from my hand and gave it to waiter, then he held my hand and dragged me
towards the dance floor. Everything happened so suddenly that I didn't get the time to argue.
Once he reached the dance floor he held her waist, intertwined their fingers and started moving his body in rhythm to the music. Angelina kept looking down and matched his steps.
Angelina herself didn't know what had happened to her, why she was surrendering herself to him for doing anything to her. All the time Xavier was admiring her facial features. He couldn't hold himself longer and leaned close to her ear.
"You are looking incredibly fabulous" He whispered in her ear while placing a strand of her hair behind her ear softly. She flinched by his touch which didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Let me go, Mr. Knight" She grabbed his hand from her waist and pushed it way. Before she could walk away, Xavier back hugged her. The hall lights were dim so no one could see them at all. Angelina again tried to free herself from his grip but he was much more stronger than she thought.
"Mr. Knight, plea-" He didn't let her finish the sentence and turned her around to face him.
"Cut the crap, Princess. I know you want me as much as I want you" He whispered softly
"What do you mean?" Angelina asked confused
"Don't play innocent here, Princess. Just tell me how much money you want, I will give you the double, you only have to spend one night with me"
He said with his cold voice but that didn't effect Angelina and she gave him a death glare.
"Do I look like a prostitute to you?" She said while gritting her teeth. Her reaction amused Xavier because no one ever talkback to him like this. He smirked, running his finger down her cheek towards the line of her jaw replied in his husky voice
"All the women are sluts, all they want is just money" That made her eyes go wide. She wondered what kind of a man he was. That's what he thinks of women.
"Are you a son of a slut" She asked, looking straight at him with burning eyes. Xavier gave her a death glare before grabbing her forearm roughly and growled over her face
"Don't Dare talk like that about my mother" She regretted saying that but showed no sign of fear and again spat confidently
"Why? Isn't she a woman?" He was taken aback by her behaviour. He was not expecting this reaction from her.
"She is indeed fearless," His conscience says
"I said don't talk about my mother," He roared.
"Then let go of me" She pushed his hands away and took a step when she felt him pulling her back.
"It will be just one night, after that we will not Cross each other's paths," He said calmly
"Didn't your mother ever tell you to show some respect to a woman?" She whispered yelled, fearing that someone might hear them
"I'm warning you for a last time, don't Dare to talk about my mother" His eyes again got fierce as his jaw was clenched
"Let me go, or I will scream." He looked into her eyes before pulling a smirk on the corner of his sinful lips
"I Dare you" Her chest was heaving up and down from anger. She wanted to vent her anger on him so she did what came to her mind. She spat
on his face and called him "Manwhore"
Xavier eyes became bloodshot, he was looking like a beast. Angelina's heart was pounding crazily. She just wanted to run and hide somewhere far away from him. She didn't know what he will do next with her
"What do you think of yourself huh!" He asked with his eyes shooting fire towards her
"I was being nice to you. But, now you will see what I do with those who dare to disrespect me." He grabbed her face and forcibly kissed her. Her eyes go wide, he was kissing her roughly. She tried to push him but he didn't bulge
" That's it" Her mind screamed
She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him hard, causing him to broke the kiss and stumbled back. He turned to give a death glare but the next moment
SLAP
His face instantly turned to the right side with the impact of a hard slap.
"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME, BASTARD!"
