I've never wanted any woman this much at it's women that always want me. This little lamb of mine makes me want her by every single second spent with her. I can't love her, but I'll treat not only as my woman but as the first lady of the VIOLANTE empire.
I went through my mails to see i had an appointment with Mr Anderson
"Liam you have an appointment with Mr Anderson by 12p.m and this is 11:28a.m" Stephen said as he walked in.
Mr Anderson is a well respected man in the society but I don't give two fucks about that. I'm a man of my words, I work with wisdom and time accuracy. So if I have an approved appointment with anyone, then I'll oblige to it.
"Give me few minutes " I said as I got up from the swivel chair and walked away.
...................
In less than 20 minutes, I was dressed in my well tailored Tom Ford black suit with black inner and a pair of black Tom ford covered shoes to pair it up. They don't call me Mr black violant for nothing. Stephen followed beside me into the cars leading us to ANDERSON CORPORATION, Mr Anderson's office.
.
"wow, you honored the appointment. Welcome Mr Violante, Mr Arthur" he said stretched as he stretched his hand forward. I ignored and sat on a chair opposite him.
"I'm a man of my words, let's get this over with ". Normally, I would have just sent Stephen to take my place but something's fishy about this requested appointment.
" well, I want to propose a business marriage " he started smiling stupidly. I knew this was the reason ,I just wanted to confirm my suspicion. There's nothing in the heads of these people apart from getting married to their daughters to have a stronger connection, grow their business to the top and more respect. Besides who wouldn't want to have the protection of Liam Violante and alliance with the world's business guru.
I looked keenly at the idiot smiling in front like he had won a lottery waiting for him to spill further. "To who exactly" from the information I got about his family, he had two daughters; Tiana and Bella.
"Tiana" he said proudly earning a deep chuckle from me. That laughter means evil and nothing more. " Mr Anderson get to the point of this meeting" Stephen said this time. He understands that I'm already getting pissed.
None of his daughters can match my taste. The only person that has successfully done that without effort is my little lamb.
"Since you have nothing meaningful to say, I'll take my leave" we got up about to leave
"Anderson be warned. Don't let thirst for power lead to your death" I told him sternly before exiting his office finally.
.
Lashes quivered and a pair of beautiful blue eyes came to view. I adjusted to the the light after few seconds. Previous events came rushing to my head and I realised I was still in the mansions hospital.
I looked at my arm to see the bandages had already been taken off.
I tried standing up and the lady in a nurse uniform ran to me.
"You're awake" she said the obvious.
"I'm not sick" I reminded her because of her unnecessary care, holding me like I was bed sick.
"I know"
"How long have I been sleeping?" I noticed the weather looked darker through the window
"For 6 hours" came her only reply. I made an oh sound
"You seemed tired like you didn't get a proper rest the previous night, I didn't want to wake you up" she continued and I couldn't help but blush at the recall of last night's event.
"Thank you, I need to shower" I stood up with the intention of going to my room.
.
I noticed the nurse kept walking behind me and I just had to ask .
"I know the way to my room, why are you following me?"
"I was instructed to get you prepared by my BOSS before he comes back" my brows knotted in total confusion.
" Get me prepared, for what exactly?"
"it's not in my position to tell you that milady. I was only instructed to get you prepared since you have no assigned personal maid yet" she said and bowed.
I didn't have a choice, so i agreed.
.
Standing before a full length dressing mirror was i.
I got dressed in a beige fitted short gown with expensive strands of beads across the Off-shoulder. I was dolled up in a light but natural makeup, 4 inches black stilettos, a black purse and jewelries to complement my look. My long brown hair was straightened out and French curled at the tip.
I could for once admit by my look, i was indeed beautiful. I wonder where Liam's taking me in this. Or is it a date?
"Did you learn this?" she's perfect, the makeup was sophisticated for someone who didn't learn it and her fashion sense of pairing cloth with adornment was incredible.
"i grew up to discover it as a natural gift" i was bewildered. She can be paid in millions and be famous with this skill.
"Why didn't you take it up as a career? " i asked this time facing her directly and not through the mirror again. She bent her head coyly and i picked from her reaction, she was nervous.
"Speak up, c'mon you can tell me. I mean no harm" i just wanted to know. It's not like being a doctor isn't profitable. Most doctors and nurses are millionaires, some are even billionaires. With these skills of hers, she'll become popular and earn massively. I could see a potential and business deals with this as part of her career.
She finally gathered up the courage to speak but sighed
"you can cut it short, just summarize it" I tried to coax her more
"when i lost my parents, i had no job. I was left with this skill and my nursing certificate " she paused for a while before continuing...
"i had no money to pursue my dream of becoming a top known hair and fashion stylist and a make up artist while also being a part time nurse in an hospital of my own.
My certificate required no money to get a job, so i went for it. Here i am now. I can't lie, the pay is really massive but this is not my dream" i was speechless. I didn't know she was an orphan. Our stories are similar, only that i have no skill and I'm kidnapped by an handsome devilish billionaire.
"My condolences to you for the loss of your parents" i said to have her nod. I wished i could help her but I'm also an orphan in the captive of my handsome devil, i don't even know my fate at the moment.
"from now on, you're my personal hair, fashion and make up stylist. I'll talk to Liam about it. If there's anymore he can do" her face beamed at my words.
"thank you milady but master Liam is difficult to convince as far as i know" i know Liam's nature is stubbornness and difficulty bit I'll give it a trial for her.
"How long have you worked for Liam?" i was curious to how far she knows Liam
"For 6 years now milady and he had several mistresses. None has behaved the way you behave to him. None has lived in this house for long with a title. The longest was miss Vanessa. I know for sure milady that you're the one for him" she said Vanessa's name with so much distaste but then again, the one for him? I chuckled softly at her words deciding to not reply her.
A knock on the door broke the silence. She answered and turned to me smiling.
"Milady, the master awaits you in the living room" my heart skipped, i looked at myself in the mirror one more time and no doubt, my hidden curves were visible as the gown traced them perfectly like it was made specially for me.
"what's your name? " i never got to know her name
"it's Lana milady"
"please call me Genevieve, the milady is really annoying"
"OK Miss Genevieve"
"Let's go"
