The sound of pair of heels clicked on the tiled stairs earning my full attention.
My eyes stared at the visible part of the round stairs waiting patiently for my prey to come to view.
I was wowed by her appearance when she came to view. Her pretty face, her well-aligned curves and flawless skin took my breath away for some seconds and for the first time, i was speechless by a woman's beauty.
She walked up to me, i bent my head to her ear level not minding the eyes around me.
"You are beautiful" i said slowly for her to register my words clearly to earn a whisper of thank you then she blushed. I loved this shy part of her. I kissed her cheek before lifting my head back to it's original position to see her blush harder. I chuckled slowly.
"Let's go pumpkin" she took my hand in hers even though her small palm couldn't wrap my big hand.
If i was once told that i would find a woman that would make me want to protect, cherish and care for her this way or bring her into my life, i would have shot his mouth for uttering such abominable words but here i am ready to care, cherish, protect and make this little pumpkin my woman. I smiled the type that reached my eyes.
.....................................
I don't think i can get used to Liam's madness. Before us were 11 cars, 10 black Hyundai Tucson Hybrid limited edition with a white Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 580 4matic probably 2022 edition in between them.
The door to the white benz was opened by a chauffeur and Liam being a gentleman thought it was right to carry me in bridal style before the eyes present. He entered after, then we moved with the convoys trailing ahead and behind us.
I kept looking out the tinted glass which the inside cannot be seen from outside but outside could be seen from the inside admiring the well structures buildings, the amazing nature and streets of NYC. I've never really gotten the opportunity to explore or OutSight New York but i planned to with Lee.
The cars stopped moving and i noticed we were before a huge mansion with VIOLANTE boldly written in gold at the top of the mansion's gate. We drove in by the sign of Liam's hand to the security guard. I noticed the mansion looks older than Liam's own. Is this another of Liam's mansion? Why are we here? So many questions i had no answer to kept flooding my mind.
.
I decided on bringing my woman here since she'll be a part of me soon. I've never really taken my aunt and uncle as family because they never showed concern since my parent's departure except when i got to where i am now.
They are still part of my family no matter what.
"This is my family's mansion although occupied by my uncle and aunt now but originally my late parent's own" i said striking up a conversation with Genevieve to see her face shrink in confusion.
"i taught you have no family" i mean who doesn't know he has no family.
"That's what everyone thinks but only those close to me and i mean Stephen and Matthew know i have relatives."
"i don't take them as family" i replied coldly
"But why? She seemed intrigued.
"Not everyone deserves honor my pearl. These people neglected me when i lost my parents but they want me closer now"
"Why?"
"That will be a story for another day" i said to end the conversation, it's bringing back memories that hunt me till this day.
"i was encouraged by Stephen to take them back but i can't. Since you'll be my woman soon, i can't deny you of knowing them" My heart felt warm by his words. I know i said I'll never be his woman but doing him a favor and being his for a day wouldn't hurt right?
"There are certain people i take there as my family at this point while the rest are yet to obtain such position" i paused observing her countenance before continuing.
"There will be name introduction on getting there. Camela and Pamela are my cousins and should be the only people you associate with"
"Is it because they weren't alive during it?" smart girl
"Yes and No. Yes, they weren't born at that time and No, because they showed love and cherished me while i was still building my empire"
"Ohh..... " was her only reply
"Baby you have made me talk beyond my limit today, what's my treat? " Shameless man, i can't remember asking him to tell me all these.
"i didn't ask you too"
"But you became interested as you asked questions too"
She opened her mouth speechless unable to reply and i took the opportunity by capturing her lips with mine, exploring and sucking it like my life depended on it.
I pulled out from the breathtaking kiss tracing my thumb across her already swollen lips as we heaved for breath.
"Come here now" i said on the phone to the newly assigned make up artist for Genevieve.
She looked at me and i could already guess she was wondering who i called especially in her messed up state.
"Fix her make up and hair, you have 2 minutes" i said sternly as the girl as the approached by car.
"I'm waiting for you outside baby" i kissed her cheek before stepping out for the girl to do her job.
"I'm Diana milady, your new make-up artist" she said smiling nervously. Well she witnessed Liam kissing me.
I said nothing to her obviously i was embarrassed, she starting by combing my hair. I never told Liam i needed a make-up artist as i intended on telling him about Lana, i sighed. It's really going to be difficult reasoning with him now.
.
"Liam" I called to the handsome creature resting peacefully on one of the Hyundai with his eyes shut. I called out to him again thinking he didn't hear the first time.
"you're done" he said as he yanked me to himself and kissed my cheek again earning a blush from me. My heart raced from his actions. Scared he might hear it, i tried pulling out.
"Let's go in" i let him hold my waist as we strode into the mansion without a word.
