Chapter 4 Chapter 4

It felt so good that I wished I could stay under the shower for some more time.

I finished and came out to get my costume ready for the night when I noticed that somebody was in my room.

I was dumbfounded when I saw her in my room so I asked her to get out immediately.

"What are you doing in my room?". I asked bitterly.

" I came to see you as your mother instructed". She said as she closed my door and began to strip down to nothing.

"Are you this desperate to get laid by me?". I asked in disgust.

I could not imagine how low she could get. She was so persistent about getting married to someone she barely even knows just to have fame and fortune.

Yes, I guess that was her only reason for being so despairing given the fact that, we have never met apart from the day we met at the restaurant.

I asked her again one last time to leave my room, or else I was going to push her out naked.

" I am going to be Mrs. Smith and that will be pretty soon, Mark my words". She mumbled as she left my compartment.

"What a crazy mortal being". I whizzed in sympathy for her.

I felt bad for her because she was just going to lose those hopes my mom had aroused in her just like the many others she had urged me to eventually settle down with.

I smiled and closed my door. The search for my attire was set and without any waste of time, I was able to pick out an outfit.

I had so many guises from uncountable masquerades parties that I had given attention to in the past.

I was all prepared and just had to go meet Henry for us to head to the party.

I needed escorts that night as I was going to have fun and I wasn't going to return home army mansion.

The smith's enterprise had always had enemies, but no one knew me physically because I have always schooled abroad.

I could walk around freely without any guards. Only a few of my dad's business associates knew me and this is because, my late dad's most trusted attorney, handles everything and only my autographs are required.

Life was much easier when you can mingle with other people naturally without any fear whatsoever.

I went downstairs and upon seeing my mum and her dearest future daughter-in-law, I kissed my mama warmly and left.

" Are you spending the night over here?". She asked uncertainly.

"No mom the party won't be over till dawn". I answered.

"Oh, that means you will be sleeping at your pen house right? or will you be sleeping in any of the other houses?". She insisted to know.

I had a feeling that my mom was up to no good so I played along.

" I will be sleeping at my pen house mom". I voiced out.

"Very good then you take care son, mommy loves you so much". She murmured cheerily.

I was now convinced that my mom was hiding something and I had to find out about it, to be on the safe side.

I left the house and have strict instructions to the maids to keep a close watch over my mom and her guest.

" You both have to immediately report to me whatever you shall listen or discern. Have I made myself clear?". I asked them with a very serious look.

I was confident that I could count on them. I left the house and got into my car and drove off to the side party.

I needed to enjoy myself and I had to leave with a time lady. The road was a bit far from my house, so I enjoyed the music in my car while driving.

As I drove on, I recalled the moments I use to have with my dad. He was such a lovely man though very strict on me.

I thought back on his words,

"Never you get married because of pressure or because you feel that you owe anyone anything. It will hunt you down eventually". I could remember those words as he spoke them to me just yesterday.

Daddy was right, if I let mom push me into this thing called marriage, then I might regret it for the rest of my life.

"I don't believe in love, however, so there's no need for me to ever settle down". I muttered.

I saw from the window of my car couples who held hands as they walked on the streets.

It was a weekend, and the street was filled with a population who were out to enjoy themselves.

Life was beautiful, and I intend to take pleasure in it to its fullest.

I was already at the party, and the security agent assisted me to station my car in the parking lodge.

I went to it and the party had already started. Henry waved at me as he saw me walk into the club.

He was already accompanied and the others were having fun too.

" Hey, friend what took you so long to reach here?". He asked as he instructed the bartender to give me a glass of scotch.

"Bro you won't believe that happened to me when I went home to get a change of clothes for the party". I turned it on.

" Spill bro, did you get into trouble with anyone?". He asked already concerned.

"Dude, my mom had invited her friend's daughter to come over to my house". I recounted.

" Wait a second bro which of her friends' daughters are you talking about here, was it the one you stood up at the restaurant?". He asked in astonishment.

"Exactly dude, that particular lady. I feel like she has no shame and dignity. She is so desperate to become a Smith". I talked in resentment.

" Calm down bro but I think it's high time you tell your mom with a straight face about what you want if not she will keep on thinking that you are still a lad". He communicated.

Henry wasn't wrong about that, because I feel like my mom never considered my decisions when it has to do with my personal life.

She still thinks that I am that baby of hers that can't take care of himself.

"Do you know the most annoying part of all these bros?". I asked Henry.

" What is that?". He raised a question.

"She is making wedding preparations for me and that so-called girl without my consent". I spoke out.

" Holy crap, you don't mean it, Duke". He screamed.

I felt bad for myself for letting my life reach this point, where my mom will firmly tell me that her decisions in my life are final.

"Bro just forgets about that for now, we are here to have fun okay. I was waiting for you to come so that we could take off to the VIP section". He murmured.

" Okay, so let's go". I drank up my glass and we left for the private section for the wealthy species that we were.

We went in and the atmosphere had changed, the ladies were all over and as usual, VIP sections always had codes, so not everyone was allowed in there.

The aura was cool and some ladies moved towards us as Henry's Companion had left us when we started taking.

"Now this is the life so let the party begin". Henry screamed in excitement as he threw out some cash.

" Hello, handsome do you kind following me?". A lady said to me.

I followed her to a corner that was already reserved while Henry was already having fun.

It was a mask party so you can't identify anyone and they can't identify you too.

She was a pro at what she was doing as she took me to another dimension.

I was enjoying the moment and the music was so good. I asked her to join me for a dance which so agreed without delay.

"If you treat me good then I will be good to you". I told her smiling.

" You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You are in good hands and I can assure you that you will beg for more of me". At the hearing of her words, I was conscious that she wasn't there to do child's play

The night was still fresh and the dancing had just initiated. The DJ was hitting up the area and everyone was happy.

I looked around and everyone was having fun. I asked the lady who was dancing with me,

"Do you mind accompanying me home after the party?".

" No, I don't mind, as long as you pay me the cash". She said dancing.

"Money is not my problem baby". I responded smiling.

" Then you have nothing to worry about". She whispered with a seductive look.

I knew I was going to have a great time and that the night was going to belong.

After a moment of dancing, I decided to go sit down. The show was about to commence.

I could see the strippers coming out to take command of their poles. They were all disguised and I could see the others at the part clapping in excitement.

I was equally excited too because it was not every day that I had the vacancy to enjoy myself this much.

The real action was in place and I could see the ladies mounting the scene taking their poles into their hands.

The First Lady knew what her job was as she rolled on the poll like a snake. I felt goosebumps as she climbed the pole and started dancing like she had no bones in her body.

"I had never seen anything like this before". I told the lady I was sitting with.

This was simply one of the most beautiful movements I have ever glimpsed before.

" What are you trying to say now, that I am not a good dancer?". She asked in a weird voice.

I knew where that conversation was heading already and I didn't want to ruin anyone's night so I said,

"No I didn't say so but I am just admiring someone who knows how to do what she knows best". I explained thinking that she was going to understand my point of view.

" It's okay, never mind I will just use the restroom". She said as she got up and left.

I couldn't understand why she had to make a dispute about me commending a person who was just doing her job.

Henry who had been sitting opposite us noticed the tension so he walked up to me and asked what the problem was.was, I just told him to forget about it.

I inquired about the girl who was dancing and his answer was rather satisfactory.

"She is a star here and every man wants to have her in her bed. She is pretty but so violent". He described.

" I don't care what she is but you see that girl, I need her in my bed tonight". I insisted.

"Just be careful Duke because she is a stripper and you know what those girls do". He advised.

I saw the waiter passing by and I asked him to come closer.

" Hey man, do you see that lady dancing over there?". I asked pointing at her.

"Yes sir", he said as he verified the person was conversing about.

" Can you tell her that I want to talk to her, I don't care who she is sitting with just tell her that I have a good offer for her". I told him as I slotted some cash into his hand.

"Sure sir I will tell her right away". He said with a funny smile as he felt the money in his palm.

" Okay now go I am waiting". I notified.

I just had to wait for her to come to meet me so that I could propose the deal to her. I felt that she was going to make a good deal for the job I had for her.

I got that idea in my mind the moment I saw her mount the pole to perform.

I looked at Henry and chuckled while he nodded his head in approval of my plan not knowing that something else was going to change from the initial plan that I had at first.

I waited for some minutes then I saw her coming towards my direction asking the waiter if I was the person that was calling for her.

When she approached me she looked at me from head to toe as though she was analyzing the type of man that had called for her was worthy of her presence or not.

"I was told that you seek my presence here?". She asked looking straight into my eyes.

" Yes, I did. I am called Duke, and you?". I asked showing her my hand.

She just sat down chewing her gum like my hand doesn't mean anything to her.

"I can see that you are very full of yourself as they said". I continued with the conversation.

" Can we get straight to point about why you asked me to come here?. As you may have noticed, I am a very busy person". She grumbled.

"I know you are still I have a business proposal for you, but if you can't calm down yourself and control the way you talk to me, you might as well leave". I responded firmly.

I could see her arrogance going down to zero in just some seconds. Most ladies loved to be treated in hard ways for them to come back to their senses.

" So what's the deal and what is supposed to be my job. Also, I hope it won't get in the way of its initial job". She asked.

"That will depend on whether or not you will accept my proposal first. But observing the sort of wealth that is denoted here, I am sure that you are going to accept it without any thinking". I explained to her.

I could already read her reaction and I saw that she was already falling for my offer just based on the hearing of the cash that I had told her.

" Okay, I am all ears". She said.

Well, we can't talk about business in this kind of environment it's too noisy. I took out my card and handed it over to her.

"Here is my card you can call me whenever you are ready". I explained.

She took the card and looked at me in surprise.

" Are you the famous Mr. Smith?. The multi-millionaire?". She asked in excitement.

"Yes, I am". I responded feeling all high and mighty.

me and give me an heir". I clarified.

" You want me to get pregnant for you?".She asked in a surprising state.

"Yes, I want you to bear me a child and your payment will be incredible". I certified her.

" I can't do this sir. I have a job that I can't compromise for this". She was about to leave.

"Eighty thousand dollars is what I am offering you with other privileges". I said.

She seemed confused and didn't know whether to stay or leave. As she was about saying a negative word, I added,

" One hundred thousand dollars is my last offer. Think about it". I whimpered.

I could see the willingness on her face and that was what I wanted. Was she going to accept my proposal?. That is what we will be finding out.

She jumped on me in excitement out in joy how everyone knows of me and my family's resources the society and the universe at large.

" I am pleased to know that I am this outstanding". I said as I sipped my glass of whiskey.

"You are sir and it is my pleasure to be sitting in your presence". She said.

I knew that with all this emotion, She was going to abide by everything that was going to be said.

"I will be expecting you at my address then or better still we can just leave together. Are you fine with that?". I raised a question.

"Yes, I am". She conceded.

I was delighted that we have gotten an understanding. She told me that she had to go change and also inform her manager that she will be leaving with a client.

It's confirmed okay. I have a deal I will like to propose to that stripper". I told him.

" Just be careful bro". He advised.

I knew that she was going to show off amongst her friends because it was typical with ladies especially when they meet with a rich man.

I was told that the owner of the club wants available. I did not want to stress on the matter so I decided that I will do that some other time.

I saw the lady coming back so I asked if she had spoken to her manager, and she said no because he had urgent matters to attend to.

I asked her to follow me then. I separated with Henry and the lady and I headed for my pen house.

We drove silent as though we were in a graveyard till we arrive at my pen house.

I entered and told the receptionist that I wouldn't want to be disturbed.

I took the lady upstairs to my flat and we got in. She was wowed by the equipment and decor that she couldn't use her expressions.

"Do you care for a drink?". I asked.

" Yes, a glass of whiskey will be fine". She replied.

"Are you that is all that you want?", I asked like a gentleman.
