**. Miles, **
My day starts as usual. A long run to the gym then work out for an hour. Afterwards, straight to the office where Emma is waiting for me with my coffee and breakfast ready to eat.
I have cleared your schedule for this morning so you can select your new secretary in peace today,” Emma says.
“Eager to join Liam already?” I ask her, taking a bite of my sandwich she bought me.
Her cheeks turn pink, and I chuckle,
“But seriously, Aren’t you worried that you might get bored with each other too soon? I mean.. What else are you planning? Are you going to move in together?”
She gives me a puzzled look.
“Stop prying, Miles,” Liam says as he walks into the office and I laugh.
“You like making her nervous. Don’t you?”
“Nope!”
He rolls his eyes and pulls a chair and slumps into it.
“And You can’t leave her alone. Can you?” I take a jibe at him.
I see Emma fluster again. I am sure Liam, the fucker, bangs her behind his closed office door everyday.
“I will bring the files from the HR. the ones we have shortlisted,” she walks away saying.
Although the secretary is already selected. Thanks to my Dad. But I won’t stop her. I need to keep this new half sister thing a secret. I will just pretend that I selected her.
What was her name again?
My face turns hot as I suddenly remembered why her name seemed familiar.
Liam
Fuck.
Isha…
It can’t be.
Chapter 55
Is she Liam’s ex? His high school sweetheart?
1 look at him while he is reading the file 1 handed him a while ago.
“I am going to Cannon’s design today. To attend that board meeting. you promised to David Johnson.” Liam says, and it breaks my chain of thoughts.
I nod at him. He explains some of his concerns and I answer him back.
“What happened to you?”
I scratch my forehead and say, “Nothing just a little distracted.”
It’s not possible. It will be too much of a coincidence.
I swallow thickly, contemplating if I should ask Liam.
With Emma in the picture, he will be furious and devastated.
“Are you really serious about her?”
He glances at me.
“Emma?” He smiles. “Yes. So I will appreciate it if you don’t grill her now and then.”
He has moved on. I can only hope that my half sister and his ex–girlsister are not the same person. He is like a brother to me. We have spent the past four years together. We have gained so much in career and in life. Only
because we were side by side with each other.
I groan inwardly. Fuck you. Dad for making my life hell again.
I cannot hire her. It’s simply not possible.
When Emma brings me the files. I pull out Isha’s record and ask her to be sure, “Did you choose her?”
She looks at the file and frowns. Then she exclaims, remembering, “Oh. HR told me this was recommended by Ms.
Ada Miller.”
1 slump in my chair. Fucking great. Mom is involved.
“I don’t want her around your father,” she had told me. Which is good that Mom is taking charge of something for a change
“She is an orphan. For the past few months, she has been really struggling.” Mom’s words ring my ear. I wonder what kind of struggle she was talking about.
Mom has a giant heart. She is all for charity and often drags me into it.
Chapter 55
“Do you need something else from me?” Emma asks.
I jot down some random names and hand it to her.
“Call them in for an interview.”
Isha is one of them.
Ce
It’s high time that I interview my half sister, before rejecting her for good.
<<. Avery. >>
I glance at a shopping bag with a skirt and blouse in it. I wonder where I will get dressed. Lena drags me to a different shop.
A naughty shop.
“Do you want to buy something?” I ask her.
She smirks and replies, “Not me but you, darling.”
She takes me towards a section and browses for a while. Eventually, she hands me a set that makes my pussy clench.
What should I call it?
It’s a skin color see–through lingerie. A one piece bodysuit made for naughty purposes.
“I thought the crotchless panties were naughty.” I mumble to her and she laughs.
“You have to wear this under your outfit tonight.”
It doesn’t have a shoulder strap. Instead, a black collar around the neck to hold the net. It looks kinky and sexy.
A belt is around the waist. I can imagine M pulling the waist belt while fucking me from behind.
The panty has multiple black straps to hold the thin fabric holding.
“Try it on.” She tells me and I cannot deny it. I want to see how it would look on me.
I wear it in the trial room and glance at myself. I am almost tempted to click and photograph and send it to him.
It leaves a little to imagination but yet so elegant.
Then I see it. My scar at waist and bite my lips.
“How is it?” Lena asks across the door.
Chapter 55
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“What happened? Open the door.”
I let her in, and she blows out a low whistle. “It looks better than I imagined.”
“Yeah…” I tell her.
“What happened?”
I make a face and point at my scar.
“I really hope I don’t get an ignorant comment again today.”
“It’s like a test to identify ignorant fools.”
I have better hopes from M. I nod and change into my clothes.
Lena takes me to her hotel room and I leave a quick text to dad that I won’t be coming home for the night.
“There is no way in hell I will go to Dom’s club dressed like a schoolgirl from dad’s house.” I tell Lena after texting dad.
“It’s not a school dress…” she chuckles.
“Looks like one!”
she shakes her head.
“Once you go there you will realize this is nothing. Anyway, You need to upgrade your wardrobe if you plan to visit
this club often.”
“Oh well, it depends on how it goes tonight.”
We spend the rest of the day discussing Noah’s work schedule and making bookings and appointments for his upcoming concerts.
“Did you meet him yet?” I ask Lena and she nods.
“He wanted to see you, too.”
“Okay. May be later this week we can catch up.”
Once it’s time, I wear the clothes I bought in the afternoon. Lenà does my makeup and hair and doesn’t leave me until she is happy with it.
My dirty blond hair, soft as silk, falls on my shoulders. She makes me wear a corset on my clothes to make my curves visible.
“I am so glad I am not at home for Dad or worse, Joy, to watch me get ready like this”
Lena laughs. “I am trying to find an apartment. Hopefully, it will be final soon. I will show you before we move into
it.”
“Yeah. I cannot imagine staying at Dad’s place for the next two months.”
I take Lena’s car and start driving towards Dom’s club. A strange nervousness rises inside me. I take a deep breath and tell myself my mantra. I am bold, blessed, and beautiful.
The club is rather on the outskirts of the city. The bouncer asks for my name and marks it on the list.
This is your first visit.” He remarks and asks me to meet the receptionist.
I walk through a dark hallway and see a girl dolled up in a black leather dress in the room. It’s darkly lit with little spot lights barely enough to make one’s face visible.
“Welcome to Dom’s Club. Your name, please?”
“Avery Collins.”
She checks her tablet, then frowns.
“Are you planning to play today?”
I am not sure..”
I need to talk to M and set some ground rules before we try anything.
She smiles.
“It looks like your partner isn’t sure either…. He left it up to you.”
She takes my phone and puts it in a locker in front of me.
“Did you consume any alcohol before coming here?”
I shake my head.
“Isn’t it allowed?”
“No. it isn’t. Players must be sober if they want to participate.”
She grabs my wrist and puts a blue band around it.
“If you take more than three drinks, the bartender will cut it and you won’t be able to participate.”
“Interesting.” I tell her, and she gets up to escort me inside.
“It’s a rule at almost every BDSM club. You should neither be emotional nor intoxicated if you want to participate.”
She explains while opening the heavy door and then I finally see it.
Chapter 55
The Dom’s club.
