Skye Knight

I was in my room, aka the attic, getting ready for David's dinner meeting. I do not know what it is about but this is the first time in 3 years I am stepping out of the house with them. I am never allowed to accompany them anywhere. Well except for the ball for the rich two weeks ago. I had to make an appearance as the owners of my previous orphan would be there. That party was a disaster. I ended up kicking a guy's nuts cause he tried to get in my pants, well dress. I got a good punishment after that. I'm surprised the Knights are taking me with them this time after what happened during the last. They say that I am a disgrace and they cannot afford to be seen in public with someone as ugly as me. So I was shocked when they told me I would be accompanying them. "You will be coming with us for our meeting. You are to stay quiet throughout and you will not misbehave. You will not interrupt us when we are talking. No matter what is said you will not react or open your mouth." David said to me. I tried putting up a fight and protesting about going to the meeting if there was no purpose of me being there but that led to me getting slapped across the face and kicked in the gut. Tears streamed down my face as he yelled, "GET UP YOU STUPID BITCH, GET READY AND WEAR SOMETHING NICE, YOU CAN NOT LET US BE INSULTED. DO NOT FORGET TO COVER YOURSELF UP COMPLETELY IN MAKE-UP. YOU CAN NOT SHOW YOUR SCARS TO ANYONE. EVER." That leads to where I am, getting ready, covering my body in make-up. I wear only mascara and highlighter on my face and put on my dress, leaving my wavy hair down.

All I want to do is run away. I look at the knife kept on my bathroom counter contemplating my choices when the door bursts open. I hid the knife and pretended to set my hair. Julia made her way into the makeshift bathroom with a scowl on her face. "This will have to do for now. Remember what Dave told you" she said and dragged me down.

We reached a rooftop restaurant that looked extremely modern and only for the rich. It had white sofas and wooden tables.

A waiter guided us to a secluded table. We took our seats and were soon joined by a couple. "Hello, I am Jake Caddel and this is my wife Gina." He pointed to his younger son introducing him as Carter. Carter was tall and well built. He had hazel eyes just like his father's and blonde hair like his mother's. He was undoubtedly good looking. The man introduced himself and his wife. David greeted them. After the pleasantries, Mr Caddel informed us that his older son, Blaze, who was on his way, would be doing business with David. 

I felt a piercing stare of someone. I looked with my peripheral view and saw the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. For some reason, he looked extremely familiar. He was wearing a navy blue fitted suit with a white shirt and a black tie.

He was tall, around 6'4. You could see that we were well built. He was slim, with a small waist but a larger upper body. His thighs looked delicious. Abercrombie model types.

umm, excuse me? model type? he looks like he came out from one of their magazines.

eh yea he does

I wonder what he looks like naked, I'm sure he's sexyyyyyyy

wait who are you?

your subconscious duhhh

ugh but  have you seen the state of that body

omg shut up, stop looking

Have you seen the state of her body? (Mad)
If I beat it, I ain't wearin' a Jonny (hah)
Adeola when I roll with a geezer (with a geez)
Is it me or the lifestyle sweetheart?
Actually, I don't give a shit

CUT IT OUTTTT, you're annoying.

okay but first, LOOK AT HIS FACE AND STOP STARING ITS CREEPY

shut up.

never.

Deciding to ignore my subconscious, who was now my best friend, well only friend, I shifted my gaze up to his face. I was captivated by his brilliant green eyes, which had now moved their focus to his parents. He had a  razor-sharp jawline and a clean shaved face. I could see tattoos peeking out of the sleeve of his suit. His hair was a shade in between dark brown and black and had been messily slicked back but that just made him look hotter. He had plump kissable lips, and his sharp features stood out, no doubt gaining a lot of female attention and following. Blaze was a name that definitely suited him. He looked like a Greek god. Although I couldn't get over the nagging feeling I had of meeting him before.

He made his way to the table and greeted his parents and brother silently. He took a seat and my father greeted him, introducing us. Blaze brought his hand out to shake it. His voice was think and manly and was the sexiest voice I had ever heard. He's saying my name cause
butterflies to irrupt in my stomach and a slight blush to form on my face. As his hand lay before my eyes, I sucked in a nervous breath, we had a watch and a couple of bracelets decorating his hand. Not having the courage to shake his hand, I gave him a short nod, not looking at his face. He looked slightly shocked but then cleared his throat and turned his attention back to David. Starting to talk business.

Blaze Caddel

I made my way to the rooftop restaurant my parents were supposed to meet me at. The manager met me and the reception and lead me to the table my parents and brother were seated at. As I approached the table, I noticed three other guests accompanying them. I stopped in my tracks noticing a timid looking girl who looked as though she wants to be anywhere but here. She had silky brown hair and ocean blue eyes. Her juicy lips were pressed down together. Her eyes scanned the room, never maintaining eye contact. I was mesmerized by her beauty. Her beauty was natural, she didn't have makeup caking her face. I was slightly impressed. She wore simple yet elegant black full sleeves fitted dress that ended right above her knees paired with black heels.

I immediately recognize the girl from the ball that was held two weeks ago. Little bitch embarrassed me in from of a hundred people. It's time for revenge.

this should be fun, enjoy while you can, Skye knight, I thought to myself

"Ah, there he is, my son, Blaze. He will be the one doing business with you. Don't just stand there Blaze come join us" My mother's voice broke my trance. I made my way towards the table and shifted my gaze away from the girl who definitely noticed my presence but didn't dare meet my eyes. I looked beside her and saw two older looking people sitting. I assumed they were her parents. I greeted my parents and took a seat. I looked expectantly at our guests when the man spoke. "Hello Mr Caddel, I'm David Knight, the CEO of Knight Industries and this is my gorgeous wife, Julia. That sitting beside her is Skye." He said. I noticed Skye's discomfort and I didn't fail to notice the distaste in his voice while mentioning her name. They clearly were not close.

"Hello Mr Knight, Mrs Knight and Skye." I shook their hands. Well, I tried to shake Skye's hand but she hesitated before just giving me a simple nod. I was shocked at her guts. how dare she dismiss me like that. A disrespectful little girl. However, I let it slide. I didn't miss the blush making its way to her cheeks. Not so gutsy now huh Angel? I cleared my throat and moved my attention back to her father and decided to get to the point, "Let us talk business now shall we?'
