The grand and lavish golden gate swung open automatically leading to an enormous mansion that embodied opulence and luxury.A sea blue Hyundai sonata cruised into the sumptuous mansion and came to a halt.
Marcus, Stella's driver, swiftly got out of the car and moved to open the passenger door. He extended his hand to assist Stella in getting out.His actions exuded professionalism but nstead she avoided him and got out of the car without even thanking him or even making eye contact with him.She spotted a Lamborghini in the magnificent compound.
Stella walked into the mansion —which was a true masterpiece of design. It was grand and spacious.It had high ceilings, adorned with intricate moldings. Lavish furniture was scattered about showcasing comfort and luxury.Crystal chandeliers invited glow throughout the expensive space and it was filled with a subtle hint of good perfume.
As Stella walked further into the mansion, her body was exhausted and she just didn't want to think about her encounter with the attractive guy at the club.
All she wanted to think about was her victory in making Mr Andy Jones sign the contract.Suddenly, she saw a guy descending the staircase and when his eyes met her's she frowned and he grinned.
"What are you doing here?"She asked,her eyebrows forming a creased line .She folded her arms and stared at Douglas Griffin as he walked towards her.Douglas was her ex boyfriend whom she dated for a week.
Love?
There was nothing like love between them since Stella Cruze doesn't fall in love.Stella Cruze's dalliance with him was a calculated move in her journey for business domination.
Douglas' father owned a huge company whom the Cruze Empire wanted to work with and since Douglas was obsessed with Stella, Stella and Magdalene agreed to use him to get a potential business opportunity.
Sadly after getting what she wanted she dumped him in a particularly harsh and embarrassing manner.And now he was in her home.What the heck was he doing there?!
"Hey pretty"Douglas Griffin stood in front of her.
"What are you doing here?"Stella quietly inquired, while her forehead creased with a frown.
"Is this how to treat a guest?"He asked,a smirk playing on his lips."I ain't going to ask you again dummy. What the fuck are you doing here?!"Stella roared, almost losing all her patience.
"You never change do you?"He said."Is it now that you know?"Stella said simply."Well,"Douglas ignored."I came to see Magdalene Cruze, my girlfriend"He said.
Hearing his words, Stella experienced a mixture of intense anger and pain inside her."Your what?!" She yelled."Don't get jealous already babe. I'm doing all of this for you."
Douglas held of Stella's chin gently yet assertively, tilting her face upward to meet his gaze. His eyes roamed across her face, taking in her every feature, before he drew her attention to his own intense gaze. With a slow, deliberate movement, he leaned in, his voice dropping to a lower, seductive tone.
"You are captivating," he murmured, his breath warm against her skin.
And this only made Stella.... ANGRY!
Stella, fueled by righteous anger, forcefully pushed Douglas away, putting some distance between them. Her face was twisted with frustration and her eyes narrowed.
"Are you out of your senses?!"She yelled.
"Is this the fucking thing you can say after hooking up with my mom?!"She added,her stern expression revealed her displeasure.
"Cool down babe. How can I give you up ?I still like you and you know that. You're extremely hot and you've got me craving for you."He said, and smirk escaped from his lips.
"Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out!"She yelled at him , pointing the exit door."I'm never giving up on you"Douglas Griffin winked at her and got out of the house.
Before he could get out she called him. Douglas turned to her. "As for your cravings, you can dream of it for long"Her to once angry tone turned a bit seductive and he smirked.
As Stella Cruze watched him, she felt apoplectic.
He just made her day worst.Stella climbed upstairs, raging with anger.
