“Mr Hendrix, we must praise you, even after these years you’re able to keep the famous
Monica as your helper. You’re really a lucky man.” The black–skinned executive remarked.
Patrick was a lover of fame and prestige. His phone which laid on the glass table beside him rang out.
“Is that ma’am Monica? We’ll love to speak with her. So we can be certain that she really intentionally missed the meeting, and not because you failed to invite her.” The black–skinned executive added and the others nodded in support of his words.
Patrick chuckled, he picked up the phone and turned on the speaker, “Hello.”
“Hello? Is this Patrick Hendrix? Your wife Monica was arrested at the bar as a suspect to sex trafficking. Please get her a lawyer as soon as possible.
Suspect of what?
Patrick froze.
The CEOs were already fidgeting through their phones. The news of Monica’s involvement in the sex trafficking had already spread across the internet like a wild fire.
Netizens didn’t hesitate to comment their opinion.
“Well, Monica Hendrix is already old, she just wants to have a good time,”
“What the heck did y’all expect from a former professional mistress. Just like a fine wine which tastes better with time, Monica improves her skills as she ages.”
“Monica seemed to be unhappy in that marriage of hers.”
The bosses gazed at each other and back to Patrick’s furious face. “You should go find a way of taking her out of there.”
Monica and Mr. Ronald were both brought in at their most distraught state. Patrick had arrived with a lawyer.
After the lawyer has completed the formalities and they were free to go, Patrick said solemnly to Monica, “Let’s go.”
Monica followed Patrick all the way out of the hall. She pulled Patrick’s sleeve and muttered, “Patrick, I need you to understand, all of this is Oriana’s conspiracy. She pretended to had agree to going on with the deal. But she in turn, framed me up.”
Patrick looked at Monica coldly, “So you’re saying that Oriana made you and Mr. Ronald to cuddle on the bed?”
“Yes.”
“Your scandal is amongst the trending topics. The numbers of retweets is about a million. Did Oriana also do that?”
Monica knew that the internet would eat up the news. But she hadn’t expected that it would trend in such way.
She never had thought she had been in the entertainment industry for years to break the internet with a scandal.
“Yes. Oriana did all this. She was the one…” Patrick raised his hands and slapped her.
Monica went crashing to the ground. The slap was so powerful that her lips bled.
Monica was stunned. She had been loved and cherished by Patrick through out the years. It was the first time he had hit her.
“Patrick, why did you hit me?” She cried holding on to her cheeks.
Patrick gritted his teeth and his stared sinisterly at her,” Monica, Oriana just returned from the orphanage. What ability does she has to pull this? I’ve loved and adored you for so many years, and this is how you choose to repay. me? You’ve lost everything!”
Only then did Monica realize that she had committed a major offence against Patrick.
Patrick valued his reputation so much. Now that he became a laughing stock of others.
It was expected that he’d take his anger out on her.
“Don’t you ever mention Mr. Ronald’s name ever again. You also have other stuff to settle with me.” Patrick spat angrily and walked away leaving Monica to herself.
Monica tasted her own blood in the mouth, she viciously yelled, “Oriana!”
Harry watched the scenario and had almost clapped his hands, “Bro, this girl of yours is really something. I’m afraid. her stepmother will not get through this, this time.”
Deacon stuck his hands into his pocket. There was zero surprise in his expression.
Oriana was like a mystery, slowly attracting him.
“I’ll be leaving.” Deacon was about to leave, but a figure appeared before him. It was
Gabriella.
Gabriella wasn’t aware of what had happened to her mother. Her focus and thoughts were on Deacon.
She took out a check from her pocket and pointed it to Deacon, “This money is for you, I want you to be my gigolo and also stay away from Oriana.”
Harry blinked severally, as he thought he was hallucinating….
A gigolo?
Who?
Deacon?
Deacon glanced at the check and his deep eyes landed on Gabriella’s beautiful face. He said indifferently. “What do you mean?”
Gabriella has already met with Deacon at the cake shop. Now that she saw him again, she still felt her heart skip a beat. She replied authoritatively. “The check is yours. Stay away from Oriana. I’ll take care of you.”
Harry was perplexed. In his entire existence, he hadn’t seen someone supported Deacon with money.
Deacon tucked his hands into his pocket, and soon, the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer.
He said nothing to reject or humiliate her, but Gabriella’s face was already reddened by his smirk. “What’s funny?”
“Nothing. It’s just confidence. But I’d better go home and look in the mirror.” Deacon muttered and walked past her.
All of Gabriella’s enthusiasm had just vanished. She didn’t expect gigolos to be so arrogant.
Deacon stopped as he sighted Oriana. Oriana has been watching him for a while.
Deacon looked at her, and after some seconds, he swiftly took out his hands from his pocket, “She was just trying to seduce me!”
Deacon who was cold and inviolable the previous seconds was now speaking in a tone of innocence.
“Oriana, it’s you again!” Gabriella clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in hatred.
Oriana walked closer, her body still blocking Deacon’s face, “Gabriella, I always thought you were a low version of Monica, but your mum really should be ecstatic, because you inherited all her traits, and also like to steal other people’s men just like her!”
“How dare you!…”
Oriana didn’t wait for Gabriella to finish her speech, she immediately took cheque from her hand. “Fifty thousand? Gabriella, how did you raise such amount of money? It seem like you really want my gigolo, don’t you?
The fifty thousand dollars was all of Gabriella’s savings and she had even borrowed some from her friends. She had fallen head over heels for Deacon, so she was ready to give all she had.
“It’s a pity, no matter how much you give, it’s useless. He doesn’t like you.” Oriana spoke confidently. She turned to Deacon, “Tell her whose man you are!”
Deacon gazed at her and with a smile he said.“Oriana’s, I’m Oriana’s man.”
Oriana’s heart skipped a beat. She had already taken control of the audience, but as soon his magnetic voice uttered those words, her body froze.
Oriana hastily retracted her gaze and glared at Gabriella with a warning, “Gabriella, I’ll let this pass. Next time, if I catch you trying to seduce my man again, do not blame me for being rude to you.”
Oriana held onto Deacon’s hand, “Let’s go.”
“What the fu ck! This girl is so domineering!” Harry muttered with his hands on his lips.
Gabriella’s body shook furiously. She knew Oriana had a sharp tongue, but she didn’t expect it to be so poisonous. Deacon was pulled away by Oriana. Her hands, small and soft.
Deacon moved his fingers wanting to hold her hand. However Oriana shook off his hands and snorted, “Are you satisfied that two women are fighting for you?“.
“Why do I think that you’re jealous?” Deacon’s said with a chuckle.
“I’m not.”
Oriana turned to glare at him. “I just saved you now. But it seemed you hadn’t realized it.”
Deacon reached out and pressed her smooth shoulders, pushing her directly against the wall. And placed his right hand on the wall, with his left hand caging her. “How dare you talk to me like this?.”
