I've made my point, I have marked my territory. Now what? I don't really know what I feel for her, all I know is that I want her, which is strange. What caused all this was seeing her with Eric. Seeing the way she let him touch and hold her drove me crazy. By the time I told her sister to tell her to leave, my blood was already boiling.
When I went to check on Lenah, I saw her black bag on Lenah's bed. It was already raining heavily outside by then. Immediately I opened her bag,I noticed her asthma inhaler. That's when I remembered that time I got information about her. Her medical records said she is seriously asthmatic. Shit!
I tried to call, but her phone was in the bag. It's not good to check a woman's belongings, but I did. That's how I saw her house key with the address on the key holder. She stays in Siena now, huh? I thought. I drove straight there, knowing I'd find her there, but I didn't. I let myself inside. The apartment is really beautiful and comfortable. Since she wasn't around, I sat and waited for her.
Not long later, the person I was worried about, arrived with my business associate, Eric. Unbelievably annoying! She was drenched, and he was helping her get inside. I swear, I couldn't have been angrier. Immediately Eric left, I decided to question her, though I really know I had no full right over her. So I ended up asserting my now existent right over her. And I don't regret a thing. She belongs to me, and not to any other man.
I don't know if it's really right, cause I don't want to forget Milcah at all. Whenever Britah is around, I always seem to forget her, no matter how much I try to keep her in mind. I crave Britah. Her face, her body, her voice, feistiness and defiance. I want to break her and crush that pride she has.

I get home after work, having told my driver to take Lenah home. I have dinner with my daughter, and she tells me all about how fun the party was, and how she had really missed Britah. What catches me is when she says that spending time with Britah makes her forget that Milcah died. Is she hinting at something? No way.. She's young. She couldn't be hinting at anything. What I know is that Lenah loves Britah, and I think she's taking me along with her.
I need an excuse to see Britah today...I think when I wake up in the morning. I look at my watch to check the time, and I'll be just in time for my first meeting. My assistant gives me the schedule for the day, and it looks like I have free time in the evening. I can drive to Siena and return without missing Lenah's bedtime.
Tina calls me in the afternoon for lunch, but my tight schedule refuses me to meet her. Since it seems important that we talk, I postpone the meeting to evening time. "We'll discuss your matter at about seven. Meet me at the office at 5:30 p.m." I say to her over the phone.
"Okay then. See you at 5:30." She says.
I have my meetings with the different businesses in my empire, the auditors, managers and all that. Seems everything is going on smoothly. It's not a bad day, besides the part of me thinking about Britah and the things I want to do to her. I just want to corrupt her innocent mind, her body, her soul; break her so badly and ruin her in ways nobody would think of. Damn, she is surely in my head now.
I send the driver to get Lenah home, so I can go to Siena. Tina meets me at the discussed time, and soon, we're on our way to Siena. It's a bit of a long drive, but Tina isn't the kind of woman I'd say loves car conversations. She just sits back and plays around with her phone. That's how she has always been. Reaching the area, I pull over at one of the restaurants that I'm comfortable with, then get out of the car.
Tina follows, and we get into the restaurant. The receptionist immediately calls a waitress to come and work on us, then gestures me towards a well positioned table inside. As I mindlessly scroll on my phone, someone says, " Good evening,sir."
Looking up, I see Britah right in front of me. Leaning back, I examine her gorgeous face having stray strands of hair hanging over fee face from her messy bun, her curvy body that looks so perfect in everything she wears -even the uniform looks so sexy on her, and down to her perfect legs and feet. Work of art!
My eyes find hers, she tries to keep eye contact, but tears her gaze away, leaving me to smirk in self content. "Good evening.....um, what's your name?" I ask. Her disbelief is evident. She points at the name tag and I tilt my head to the side. "What's that? Are you showing me your tag or is that some sort of intended pun?" I tease and she flushes for like a second.
Before she can reply, Tina calls her over. Staring daggers at her, she says, "Get me a cappuccino and a vanilla cupcake. that's my order." She sounds disgusted and angry at the same time.
"Oh...okay. What about you, sir?" Britah asks me.
"I want coffee. Dark coffee"
"Okay."
"I want it dark, and a bit sweet, and hot. Don't get the wrong idea though." I add and she rolls her eyes. She's got some nerve. "Do you always act like that with the waiters and waitresses?" I ask Tina when Britah leaves.
"I guess so."
"Then don't. They're people like you." I tell her.
"No promises." Tina says.
As we talk about her business issues, Britah returns with hot rags. For our hands. Tina takes hers and uses it, but I stay there, looking at Britah. She shoots me an angry look and says,"Sir, here is your hot rag."
"And?" I ask.
"You have to use it."
"No."
"Could you please stop being stubborn?" she asks."Take it and use it. Please. " she says.
I smirk at her mischievously. "Make me." I tell her.
Britah
My look of disbelief is really evident when he tells me, "Make me"
"Are you kidding me?" I whisper, and he arches a brow.
"Do I look like I'm kidding, Brit? You do what the customer says." He replies. I huff and hold my hand out for him. Getting the rag, which is still hot, I take his hand in mine and wipe his hand with it. Just then, Tina, I think that's her name, asks,
"What's going on?" I look at Mr Vitale, and before I can answer, she says, "Here. Give it I'll do it."
"No, let her do it. " Rider says. Once I'm done, I prepare to leave when he holds my hand.
"What's your issue? I'm working, plus, I wouldn't want to ruin your date night, Mr Vitale." I say and he raises a brow at me.
"Okay..." he says and let's go of my hand. I return some time later with their orders.
I won't lie, I'm actually a little jealous cause he's with another woman, and I can do nothing about it. I stand at the counter next to Ashley, who asks me how I'm related to Mr Vitale. "It's nothing really. We're only acquainted because my sister is his daughter's teacher." I reply. She hums and replies,
"He's staring at you, do you know that?"
"Come on, Ashley, don't you see he's with a woman?"
"I know that. I'm not blind... Anyways, I can't blame him as he's not the first person I've observed. "
"Ashley" I say and she laughs.
Just then, Mr Vitale calls me so he can pay the bill. After he pays, I leave the table, and go to change as those two were the last customers in the cafe. Once I'm sure that they've left, I proceed to go home. However, getting out of the cafe, a masculine voice startles me. "Going somewhere, Britah Laleramo?"
Turning, I look at Mr Vitale with shock. "What are you doing here?" I ask and he smirks.
"Came to see you." He says. "Weren't you supposed to be home already?"
"Did I interrupt your date by being around?" I ask. His eyes darken and he instantly pulls me close to him. "Mr Vitale!" I gasp.
"Mhm..." He says. "Is she jealous?" He asks referring to me in third person.
"Of course not." I scoff. "Now let go of me."
"Let's go home. To your apartment I mean."
"Tina?"
"She left." He says and leads me to the car. I sit down and he starts the car."By the way, Tina and I are only friends. She wanted to discuss something about her business to me. I'm great at business advice, not to brag but yeah."
"Oh" is all I can say to him. The rest of the drive is silent, with me thinking of how big of a jerk I was to think he's with Tina after telling me how he owns me and all that. Reaching home, I step out and thank him for the lift. As I get into the building, he says,
"I think you forgot something, Britah Laleramo."
"What could that be, sir?" I ask and he comes to me, closes up the distance between us and replies,
"Won't you kiss me goodbye?"
"Um.... no." I shyly reply, drawing a look of amusement from him.
"It's really simple. "
"For you." I say to him. He puts his one arm around my waist, and the other, he uses to cup my face without breaking eye contact.
"But do you want this?" he asks, slowly caressing my back, igniting my craving for him. He comes so close to me that his lips almost brush mine as he speaks. "Tell me." he adds.
My breath hitches with his touch and every word he says to me. I hold on to his shoulders and nod.
"Words, baby girl." he says.
"Yes, Mr Vitale. I want this." I say, looking at his beautiful lips.
" Then take it." he says, with a smirk on his lips. I shift my gaze to his eyes, hoping I don't embarrass myself, cause he's perfect at these things. Closing my eyes, I cup his face in my hands and kiss his lips according to my memory. He kisses me back, but doesn't take control of the kiss. Doesn't he know by now that I'm inexperienced?
"Good start." he says. "I look forward to next time."
Next time? This man! I look at him and just smile. He gets into his car and drives away. Reaching my apartment, I take a shower and go to meet Laura, since we're neighbors. When I tell her about my story, she says, "I think he's into you."
"Really?" I ask. "What if I'm wrong here?"
"Nahh it's true. Britah, a billionaire business tycoon is in love with you!!!!" She squeals.
"Laura..."
"Shut it." she says and hugs me tightly as is her habit."I actually envy you. I want a boyfriend like yours." she laughed.
"We're not dating."
"Yet." Laura says and we both laugh.

Rider
I wake up in the morning feeling really good, and it could be because things are going great in my life. As I'm on my way to Lenah's school, she asks me, "Dad, do you talk to Britah?"
"Yes, why?"
"I miss her a lot. I want to see her and spend some time with her." Lenah says and I look at her, speechless. "Will you please tell her to visit? I promise I'll be on my best behavior."
"You're already perfect, princess... But if you really want her, then you'll see her. Don't worry, okay?" I say and she smiles.
After dropping her off, I go to speak with Britney. Seems she's not angry with me anymore about the Saturday incident. Britah must have explained everything to her. Or it could be that she just forgave me. I really feel bad about what I did.
At work, I have a meeting with several people, but still, I make plans to see Britah. I can't believe I actually crave to see her - what's wrong with me? It's already seven by the time I leave work, and I won't lie, I'm exhausted. That empire is really stressful to handle.
I call Britah up, and she answers,"Hello"
"Hello what?" I ask.
"Hello, Mr Vitale." She says.
"Where are you?" I ask.
"Um....somewhere?" She replies,and I feel the mischief in her voice.
"Exact location. Are you at work, or home?"
"Why?"
"Just tell me. And stop playing games with me, Brit. "
"I'm not playing. I'm somewhere. You just ....have to guess."
"You're fucking kidding me, Brit, and I'm getting impatient."
"Then come find me." she says and hangs up. The actual fuck? I clench my jaw and get into my car. There wasn't any noise in the background, so I guess she's at her apartment.
I am so gonna teach her a lesson.She's my submissive- she has to be my submissive. And if she thinks otherwise, I'm going to teach her to be good. For me.
Britah
I can't believe what I just did. Like, I've just landed myself in a really sticky condition, cause Mr Vitale is unpredictable. About thirty minutes later,he phones again and says, " I'm at your apartment. Don't make me look for you, or you'll be in even bigger trouble."
"No promises..." I say, clearly trying to suppress my laughter.
"Are you,...provoking me?"
"Am I?"
He sighs and hangs up. Not long later, my door opens, and I go to hide in the guest bedroom. It's obvious he just used the spare key. Or, he must've copied my key or something like that.
"Brit?" his voice echoes in the living room. "Britah! Britah Laleramo!" he calls, and the annoyance in his voice makes chills run down my spine.
His footsteps become louder as he approaches the guestroom, and just as I try to breathe quietly from one corner of the almost empty closet, he leaves the room.
He has to come and find me if he really wants me. My mind echoes. Just then,the lights go out. Oh my God! I hate, and fear the dark. That's why I'm forced to leave the room and go towards the kitchen, where the main switch is. I make my steps as gentle as possible, but immediately I reach the circuit breaker, Rider, out of nowhere grabs me and traps me against the wall.
"Found you." He says and turns the light back on. I look at him and say,
"Hi" with a scared smile. "It's good to uh.... see you here." I say.
He looks at me with a cold expression. "Thirty minutes. I've looked for you for half an hour. At your workplace, at the park, in your house...." He says."Now you're gonna pay for that. I don't really like misbehavior, Brit."
I gulp. What is he planning to do? His eyes analytically gaze at me from top to bottom, and that's when the realisation hits me that I'm dressed in my oversized T-shirt, though I don't think my boy shorts underneath the shirt make a difference here. He leads me by my hand to the couch in the living room and makes himself comfortable.
"Come over." He demands.
