❀❀

Royce pulled away when he felt he was okay, he sighed and looked at her. If looks could, ki*ll and bury, he knows where he’d be

“I can sue you on charges of harassment, you know right?” Sierra spoke, eyeing him.

He’s the last person she wants to see and instead of seeing him, he even hugged her. If he needed a hugger why didn’t he go to his numerous girlfriends

“Well I think you should be happy I hugged you, not everyone gets such privileges” He spat and she sighed

“Yeah right!”

Slamming the door to his face, she went in and hit the showers again to wash off

Royce sighed looking at the door, well this isn’t what he wanted but he did it anyway and he felt at ease. The last time they hugged too, he felt so free not to deny.

But she, is so cocky. Hmph!

Not like he enjoys touching her, he only invests on what brings him gain and she is a lost cause

“That b***h!” He gritted and went to his car, driving off at the speed limit now.

He sighed, “Harassment… You don’t have any idea what that means Sierra”

He parked his car outside Ellen’s apartment and alighted. She was his first call but he found himself going to Sierra instead and now he’s on regret mode

“Royce!” Ellen called surprised by his presence, she was still in her work attire, just her shoes were off

He gave a half smile and hugged her, she chuckled softly before hugging him back and patting him lightly

It will be right to call them friends with benefits, she’s always there for him in every way

“You’re such a baby” She said

“And I need baby treatment today” He mumbled and she shook her head

“Come in then” She ushered him in and they disengaged. Royce made himself comfortable on the couch while taking off his coat

“Bourbon?” She asked touching the numerous wines on the stand

“On the rocks!” He added

“Rough day?” She asked again as she prepared their drinks

“Yeah” He said sadly

“Wanna talk about it?”

“I’ll be fine Ellen” He declined, he never spoke about it to anyone else but his mother, tho Eve knew because she walked in on that one day

Aside her, no one else, to an extent not even Raymond

“Okay baby. Here!” She said and handed him his drink and they clicked their glasses before drinking

✨••✨••✨

8:30PM ~ FUNHOUSE

Chloe and Presley sang to the lyrics of Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” on the karaoke stage.

They dropped their mics after they were done and when Chloe saw the machine’s assessment of them, she frowned

“Your crooked voice spoilt the whole song”

Presley hissed and cleared her throat, they went to the bar and ordered drinks

“Where on earth is Sierra, it’s been an hour already” Presley whined

“I’m sure she’s on her way, till then can you please give me a sneak peek of the gist you have for us?” Chloe pouted bashing her lashes cutely and Presley smirked

“No way”

When the image of Brandon’s shocked face ran through her head, she laughed punching the air. Chloe only watched in anticipation, if Presley was this happy then the gist will be worth it

They continued drinking while watching people perform on stage

“Finally, she’s here!” Chloe beamed when Sierra entered the club, she waved at her and she started walking towards them

She was dressed in different clothes now, she got to them and sat on the stool in between them and poured herself a drink

“You look upset, wassup?” Presley asked after a while

Sierra sighed deeply and shrugged

“Nothing!” She said and refilled her glass

‘I hope he’s okay’ She thought but chided herself immediately, he’s not a kid for her to be worried, but he looked so down and broken

Tch… It was all pretense, she thought and looked at Presley who was grinning widely

“What’s up? Did you win a lottery?” She asked glancing at Chloe who only shrugged

Presley clapped gleefully and took out her phone, she did a few things on the screen and showed the girls

Sierra laughed first,

“Isn’t that my boss?” Chloe gasped and collected the phone, “He’s the one..but how and why does he look flustered?”

” Pres. What did you do this time around” Sierra asked and Presley sat up cockily

” I taught him a tangible lesson”

Chloe and Sierra looked at her sharply, both dropped their drinks and chorused,

“How!”

★7 MINUTES LATER★

Presley jumped about in excitement after she finished narrating all that had happened in the past few days to them. She was happy and couldn’t contain it especially whenever she recalled Brandon’s face

Sierra and Chloe were also stunned, they shared quick glances before laughing

“I’ve never seen such determination before, you never study cases even when you have a court session the next day but because of Brandon you took three days reading and searching for loopholes?” Chloe asked, amusedly

“Yes, yes, and it felt so gooood” Presley slurred still giggling while Sierra sat quietly creasing her brows

“S. Say something” Chloe giggled

Sierra bit her lip and glared at Presley

“25 million?”

“Yeah” Presley replied simply but when she realized where it was heading, she looked away and started dancing

Sierra smirked and got up too

“Pres. Where did you get that much money?”

“Forget about the money and dance with me, dance” Presley said nervously dancing away but Sierra followed, Chloe went after them too

“Yeah, Presley, I’m also curious” She said and Presley gulped

“I borrowed.. from uh, Vic? You guys buying that?” She said and blinked when she saw them glaring daggers at her

Chloe sighed and took out her phone

“I don’t want to think of the possibilities that what we have in mind is right, Presley” Sierra said and Presley grinned

“It’s not, I assure you! ”

” F*ck! She cleared everything!” Chloe exclaimed and Sierra palmed her face

“I didn’t..” Presley whined

“7 thousand dollars left and you say you didn’t?” Chloe flared and Presley sighed

” That was our money.. and you used it for your revenge without asking our permission?” Sierra said angrily

They have a joint account where they save their money. It was Sierra’s initially before the rest where added so her money was more

She’s not angry Presley took it, but she did so behind their backs? What did she take them for?

“Not cool Pres, you should have told us atleast” Chloe said and hugged her while Sierra returned to the bar

“She’s mad at me” Presley said guiltily and Chloe nodded

” It’s terrible that you kept us out of the loop”

“I’ll apologize” She said and they went to meet Sierra

“Don’t make baby faces at me Presley, I’m not in the mood to forgive anybody” Sierra said and Presley stopped pouting

Chloe laughed and sat down. Presley wrapped her arms around Sierra

“I love you Sierra, my one and only bride..”

“Shut up!” Sierra snapped and she clamped her lips together

“Okay, so what do you have in mind, what next” Chloe asked and Presley shrugged

“Uh.. nothing”

“Nothing?”

“Yeah, nothing. I’m just glad he doesn’t have it, and he’s sad” Presley cackled

” Presley!! ”

” What? You guys should speak to me with respect, I’m a lawyer and land owner, hey, there’s a resort too, I own it ” she giggled

“Oh really, then we want our money now, madam lawyer and land owner” Sierra said

“I meant, WE own the land..and resort too” Presley gestured sheepishly and they laughed

✨••✨••✨

MIDNIGHT ~ BRANDON’S MANSION

Brandon worked all through the day when he got back from the site. He did this only to get his head off what happened, though he still can’t believe he lost, just like that!

He picked a framed photo of Emma, staring at it. A half smile formed on his face as he caressed it

“Loser!” He smirked and dropped the frame returning his gaze back to the laptop in front of him and on display was Presley’s bio data, some of her photos with her friends

He’s been staring at it for a while now.

He released a deep sigh and stood up leaving to see Asher, he knew the boy would be asleep already but there was no harm in admiring his son

The moment he left and was far from the study, Lilith entered, she was watching him in the shadows and she’s glad he didn’t pay much attention to his surrounding

He looked pissed when he got back, she was worried about him.

Was it work?

She saw Emma’s photo and smiled haughtily

“Too bad you left, he’s mine now” She assured smiling dreamily. Lilith was sure since, Brandon literally hated women after Emma’s demise but he’s different towards her, he cares about her

And that’s a good thing.

She dropped the frame carelessly and hopped out smiling. She went to the kitchen where she was headed initially

“Lilith Campbell, sounds good” She gushed happily

✨••✨••✨

∆ NEXT MORNING » EASTON’S PLACE ∆

Easton was shirtless as he walked about in the kitchen preparing a hangover soup with herbs. He was making it for Presley since she came back drunk.

Chloe brought her back last night and luckily he was there to help.

While he was still at it, he got a call and when he saw who it was, he frowned slightly

“I asked you to stop calling me didn’t I?” He spoke immediately he picked

“I missed you, when will you be back?” The caller asked and he sighed furrowing his brows

“Never, so stop pestering me”

“East, you only took a break, nothing more so don’t make me lose it… And come after you”

“Miley!”

“What, I’m not your plaything East, don’t you dare try me. Have a great day, love you babe” She said and hung up

Easton ruffled his hair after dropping the phone, he heaved a sigh and dished the soup

He wore a shirt before going to Presley’s room, he decided to leave his phone behind. He entered the room, Presley was also coming out of her room at that moment

She wore a big pink button up shirt that stopped on her mid thigh. Her hair looked damp and sprawled on her face

Easton gulped looking her up, his eyes stopped on her flawless legs and he felt his d**k twitch. He was f*cking turned on

“East?” Presley called running a hand in her hair, she blushed as his eyes remained stuck at her body

If she knew he was coming, she would’ve worn something else. She thought!

Easton shook his head and moved close to her, now in front of her

“Hey how are you?” He cooed and she smiled wincing softly, she was experiencing one of the worse hangovers

“Hangover? Why did you drink too much?” He asked and her eyes widened

She went to her kitchen searching the cabinets for a painkiller

” How.. did you know?” She asked

“Chloe brought you home, she called me” He explained and she mouthed an OH.

She felt his presence behind her, she looked at him and blinked when she noticed the bowl with him

“Have this” He gave her the soup and she made irritated faces. Just by looking at the soup, she knew it would be bitter

“Can’t I get painkillers instead?” She whined and he smirked

“Come on…” He urged and in a whiff, she drank every drop of the soup

“Oh my God, what is that?” She gasped squeezing her pretty face which was a turn on for East, she had no idea how what she was doing affected him

“Water..” He stopped her from taking a glass and made her face him

“Let’s share the taste..”

“How?” She asked and immediately he slammed his lips on hers…

✨••✨••✨

⟨ ROYCE’S MANSION ⟩

Sounds of moans and groans echoed in the room, it was coming from the TV and Jason’s phone. He’s watching porn and with a smirk

The one from his phone was from one of his patient whom he treated days ago, the lady decided to send him a little gift which he didn’t mind

He’d come last night to stay with Royce but he was nowhere to be found so…

“How do you like that baby” The lady asked and he smiled naughtily

” A lot” He said and she continued f*cking herself with a dildo.

Royce entered the house and was welcomed by the displeasing sounds, he scrunched up his face knowing who was responsible. He saw a maid by the kitchen looking horny and at the verge of undressing due to the sexual tension she was feeling

Gosh!

“Jason!!” He snapped and the maid hurried out. Jason craned his neck to look at him

“Shh..” He shushed him and concentrated on his phone

Annoyed, Royce took the phone and switched it off while Jason pouted. He switched the TV off too and glared at Jason

“What on earth?” He said
Kindly Hi Amazing Stories on zero nine zero seven four two nine two three four seven to join our story group
“Dude, I was enjoying that! Don’t act like you don’t watch porn” Jason said slyly

“Well I don’t!” He replied sternly, ascending the stairs. Jason laughed and ran after him

When they got to Royce’s room, he jumped on his bed and eyed him

“Where were you last night? Clubbing without me?”

“I have better things to do other than clubbing” Royce snapped unbuttoning his shirt

“Like f*cking?” Jason teased with a small laugh, “Let me guess, you spent the night with Ellen” He asked since that’s the only person Royce fancies staying over with.

“So? At least I do the real thing and not watch others do it?” Royce said and looked at him

” What?” Jason shrugged

” I wanna take off my clothes”

“So do it, or you want me to do it for you” Jason said earning a glare

” You might be gay for all I know, besides I don’t trust you. Go already” Royce said seriously and Jason chuckled

” I’m gay only for you baby” He got up from the bed but before he could get to Royce, he was in the bathroom

Jason burst into fits of laughter

“Hey bro” He called after he stopped laughing

“What!” Royce snapped

“Your PA, does she still work there?” He asked

“Stay away from my employees!” Royce shouted and he laughed again

” Chill bro, I just want her number and a date” He said

“Whatever, just don’t f*ck in my company, it’s a sacred building”

” Except from your office. That room has had millions of ladies taking in your cock, eww” Jason shrugged

” F*ck you Jason”

” F*ck you more baby”

” Stop calling me that! ”

” Sweetie!”

“Get out!!”

“Fine a**”

“Jason!!!” Royce yelled and Jason laughed loudly

••✨••

9AM~•

Drawing the last sip of wine from the glass, Eve sucked on her teeth and picked her expensive purse. The door of the jet was open for her already, she got a mask and wore it on her face.

A deep sigh left her lips and she stood up going out of the jet carefully assisted by a guard

She did book a flight but she decided against commercial ride last minute and used her mom’s jet instead. She wanted her arrival to be a quiet one and a surprise for Royce

When she got it the foot of the steps, she smiled a bit

“I missed New York. I missed my baby more” She said and fixed her shades

“This way ma’am” A guard gestured leading her towards a white Bentley.

“To the hotel?” The driver asked and she frowned taking off the mask

“What hotel?” She snapped

“Your PA booked a suite for you at Palms hotel, she asked me to take you there” The driver explained

” Ashleigh, I know you did this” She seethed and rolled her eyes

“Take me to Evans Enterprises, you can stay in the suite. I doubt you’ve ever stayed in one” She mocked and the driver bowed before driving away

“Hotel my foot” She scoffed and closed her eyes

••✨••✨

⟨ PRESLEY’S OFFICE ⟩

Presley has been staring into the mirror since she got to work. She’s looking at her lips, still unable to digest the fact that she and East shared a kiss

It felt so surreal and to think they made out in the course. They way his hands grazed against her skin sent a million sparks around her body and only the thought of it made her want more

“What are we now?” She asked no one in particular and sighed, a knock came on her door and she dropped the mirror in her bag

“Come in” She said seriously and opened a book reading through it

“Ms Martinez”

She smirked when she saw Liam, then looked over his shoulder hoping to see Brandon but to her disappointment he didn’t come along

“Ohh.. Sit” She pointed at the chair across hers and he did

“Let me guess, you’re here on behalf of your boss to strike a deal with me.. aww” She grinned and Liam sighed, she’s too smart which is a good thing but not now when his job is at stake

“You’re right about that. My boss wants to know how much you’d…

“No deal” She cut him off and he flinched

Both of them were driving him nuts with their stubbornness, he was now stuck in the middle.

He sighed, “You can draw out a proposal if that’s what you want”

“I plan on passing that property to my grandchildren, so no deal!” She said and he exhaled looking at the ceiling

Her grandchildren really? God!

“There’s no amount of money that’ll make me let it off, go tell that to your boss” She said dismissively and he gasped blinking in confusion

He barely spoke. It’s funny how he saw Brandon in her– the arrogance

Dejectedly, he got up

“Think about it one last time before drawing a conclusion” He said and made to leave

“Why does he so desperately want that piece of sh*t anyway, there’s land in lots of places that he can get so why that one”

“His late wife wanted it” He said and she softened a bit

” Oh. ” She stood up and walked to his front crossing her hands under her b**bs

“Liam” She called and he raised a brow

“I have my sources” Presley grinned, Chloe told her his name actually

“Well do you think I’m being cruel?” She asked and he shook his head

” Right! I’m not. If he wants it that badly then there’s something he can do..”

” What’s that? ”

” Beg me.” She said and his eyes widened in shock

” What? ”

” Yeah… I want him to beg me for it. Tell him that!” She said and returned to her seat then continued reading her book carefreely

“Beg?” Liam asked still stunned, he chuckled and shook his head

” Impossible! ”

” Then he should forget about it, if I see you or him near me without the intention of begging, I’ll file a case. The door?” She pointed at the door and he blinked

” What? ”
