"Damn it!" Lexus Damien Park cursed upon reading the note that Anna left on the bedside table. He was a thirty-year-old upright CEO to most people but he was a terrifying Mafia Lord in the underworld.
And yet, he just got ditched by a woman.
"Why didn't I hear a sound when she woke up?!" He was frustrated that he did not even stir in his sleep so he had no clue what the time was when she left.
The sun was already up and it was already past eight in the morning. He had an appointment at nine. He had no time to dilly-dally.
But it hurt his pride so much that he slept so well for the first time in months because he was completely spent after enjoying her to his heart's content.
"How could I let her do this to me twice?!" he grimaced at the mirror. This wasn't the first time she ran away from him after sleeping with him. But to his utter dismay, she did not even recognize him. Not even after he said his name.
"Was I that insignificant to her?!"
On his part, even after more than a decade had passed, he could still perfectly recall the first night he had with her.
It was eleven years ago. He was nineteen and she was eighteen. Lexus accidentally saw her break up with her boyfriend after catching the guy having sex with another girl at the car park outside this same building.
* * *
Lexus was at the parking lot outside the club when he saw a girl, whom he later came to know as Anna, violently knock at the car beside his.
He was about to step out of his car to stop her since the owner of the car might be one of their customers. But before he could talk to her, the girl opened the door and their eyes were greeted by the sight of two people satisfying their carnal desires.
"I didn't know you were that small," Anna said to the man inside who instantly pulled out of the girl he was with. The two scrambled to cover themselves. She was clearly mocking the guy.
"What the fuck are you doing here? Didn't you go home already?" the guy asked.
"I came back because I was informed that my beloved boyfriend is cheating on me. Who would have thought it was true?"
"I was just drunk. I didn't mean to do this. It's because you never let me touch you. You know you are the one I love most," the guy tried to persuade her even though his other girl was still inside his car.
"You make me sick. I'm breaking up with you," Anna hissed and turned her back to leave but the man caught her wrist.
"Anna, let's not break up," the guy didn't let her go.
"Don't fucking touch me! You are disgusting!" Anna screamed and slapped the guy hard.
Lexus blinked. He did not expect he would be witnessing such a scene firsthand. The slap was so strong that he heard it inside his car even when all the windows were tightly shut.
"Why you!" the guy was about to hit Anna but Lexus quickly got out of his car and held the guy's wrist.
After that, Lexus offered to send Anna home but she invited him into her hotel room instead. She had apparently booked a room so she could spy on her boyfriend when someone gave her a tip that he was cheating on her.
And because she was heartbroken and angry, she offered her first time to him out of spite. And as a hormonal teenager, Lexus could not resist her charms and did it with her.
It was unforgettable. It was his first time after all. She was his first and he loved it. He was thinking of asking her to be his girl and take responsibility for taking her first time, but when he woke up in the morning, she was already gone. Left was a note thanking him for helping her the previous night and sleeping with her. She had even paid for the room.
He only got to know her full name after getting it from the front desk. After all, his family owned the building and most of the establishments in it.
He wanted to chase after her but did not want to seem like a loser who couldn't get over something meant as just for a single night. When he finally gathered the courage to go and see her, she already had a new boyfriend.
Lexus was so pissed and annoyed that he promised to just forget about her.
* * *
Eleven years had passed and just when Lexus thought that he had finally gotten over Anna, he saw her once again.
He had just finished a meeting when he suddenly thought of checking on their bar. But when he went in, he saw her drinking alone. He instantly recognized her because memories of their first night together had haunted him for so long. He was about to approach her but realized that why should he? They were not anything to each other.
But he could not take his eyes off her, especially with the revealing clothes she was wearing. She had become even more desirable than she was eleven years ago. Her body had matured into that of a woman and she was more alluring than ever.
'Was she the playful type? She's clearly here for a man,' he grimaced as she danced with some random men.
'If she wanted a man, I can satisfy her myself. She didn't need to recklessly associate with some random bastards,' he thought and then froze when he realized what he just thought about.
'What the fuck am I thinking?! She's just another woman in my past. I shouldn't be concerned about her.'
But he couldn't stop looking at her and hating the sight of other men putting their hands on her tiny waist as she danced so seductively. He froze when he realized that he had stared too much. And now, she suddenly walked in his direction and introduced herself.
'Is she trying to hit on me right now? Is she fucking serious? She doesn't even seem like she recognized me.'
