Amyra's POV
Jacob had held me tight, his arm cradling around my waist and his leg intertwined with mine.

The more I tried to move,the harder he grabbed onto me..

"Jacob, I really wanna pee..." I cried out...

"Just few more minutes!!!!"

"I am really pressed and you holding onto me so tight isn't helping either...."

"But I love holding you like this!!!" He began trailing kisses from my collarbone all the way down to my back...

"Let me make love to you Amyra!!!"

"I am still mad at you for manhandling me!!!!"

"Seriously!!!!" Jacob pulled away and flounced over on his back,his arm on his forehead..

"Yeah!!!" I replied dryly...

"You are so ungrateful Amyra, do you know that????"

"And why is that, Mr Jacob Mimo????" I sat upright and folded my arms on my chest..

"After all I have done for you, you have no right to get mad...I literally made you to the woman you are today..."

My mouth dropped open and I could only stare at him in silence trying to process what he just said...

"If it weren't for you, you would still be working in that hotel and living in that filthy rathole...."

"Wow!!!" Was all I managed to say as I felt tears burn behind my eyes...

"Let me go shower, I have a busy day ahead of me...." He rose from the bed and angrily slammed the door into the bathroom...

The pain I was feeling was so powerful that it took over every other ounce of my being..

Thoughts of Joseph abusing and insulting me swarm through my mind leaving me with one terrible question...Did I make another terrible mistake??? 

One tear fell on my lap and the rest followed as my insides shattered. I thought he was different, I thought he was finally the one.

What changed????Or is it because I love him so much???Or is this how mistresses are treated???

I knew it was a bad idea to accept help from him and now I feel like the most stupid woman in the world.

The man thinks he owns me

. The man has practically lost the respect he had for me. The man thinks that without him I am nothing... 

He has made me feel very useless. Him saying he made me into the woman I am has broken me.

"I have a very busy day with the investors. They are still not convinced. If you want a tour of the city, just call Liam. I will send you his number..Love you and take care...."

He tried to kiss me but I turned my face away..

"If you knew you were going to give me a hard time, you would have just stayed home...."

"You didn't make me to the woman I am today. Actually the only thing you did is help me start my restrauant  and paying my rent..." I sobbed, wiping the tears from my cheeks with my hands...

"When I found you Amyra you were broken, damaged and barely surviving...." He said icily...

"Just wow!!!!!"

"I am here to save my company and the last thing I want is a woman acting like a little girl...."

"Did you say your company???" I chuckled,"Don't make me laugh..."

He moved inches closer to me and whispered,"I always felt sorry for you but right now I don't blame Joseph for hitting you...."

"What did you say????" I asked between clenched teeth... 

"Have a lovely day...." 

When he left the room, my tears burst forth like a dam  spilling down my face...

God why does this happen to me???
Why do I have to always go through so much pain and torture???
Why can't I just be happy for once???

I don't know for how long I cried my sorrows and pain away all I can say is the moment I made the decision to stop crying, I had a throbbing headache...

I really need a strong drink if I am to survive this day...

As I walked out of the suite, I bumped into Adam who was shirtless and had a towel around his neck...From his sizable pecs to bulging biceps to his firm abs, I was temped to run my hands over them...

"Are you okay????Have you been crying?????" 

"What did that asshole do now????"

"I feel so hurt right now!!!" I clung onto him desperately, my sobs coming out as chokes and gasps...

"What's wrong Amyra????" He hugged me tighter as if I would disappear by the second...

" I made a terrible mistake Adam...I chose the wrong guy again...." 

"We are human, we are bound to make mistakes!!!!"

I pulled back angered by his statement...

"When you make a mistake once, it's okay but if you make the same mistake twice shame on you!!!!" I stuttered.

"Don't be hard on yourself!!!!" His eyes were filled with sadness...

"But I can't go through that again...."Tears began dripping from my eyes again..

"Come here!!!!" He held me in silence as my tears soaked his chest...

"Why don't you go freshen up an meet me at the lobby in thirty minutes????"

"Where are we going???" 

"Someone bailed on me too and it would be such a shame to let the tickets go to waste...." 

"I am sorry...." I whispered and took a step back from his embrace that was sending a million overcharged volts all over my body...

"Sh*t happens!!!Now go and get ready...." He flashed me  a strained smile and opened the door to his suite...

As I was getting ready, I was in a dilemma whether to inform Jacob or not. Even though we fought I didn't want him to be worried that is if he even cares anymore...

I chose to text him after all and he was cool with it. No!!!That's an understatement. He was excited as if he was the one spending time with Adam and even had the audacity to tell me to ensure he has a good time..

What a jerk!!!!

I decided to wear a pair of black ripped boyfriend jeans, a floral off shoulder and sneakers since I didn't know where Adam was taking me...

About make up a natural look would just do fine but red lipstick it's a must...
 
A blonde wig or a black one???? Mmmmh a black bob wig would do..

Earrings, no Earrings.... I bet I should just keep it simple...

A final look on the mirror and I was good to go...

When I got to the lobby, I found Adam waiting for me.....

"Thanks heavens, you didn't wear high heels...." He sighed...

"So where are we going????" I was dying of curiosity...

"It's a surprise...."

Outside the hotel a Bentley Limo was waiting for us...
"Is this our ride????" My eyes were popping out...

"Yeah..." He said dryly, holding the door for me...

Who was this guy like really????

The guy wasn't just some mid-level executive at a company since mid-level executives don't normally tool around in Bentley Limos..

After sliding in, he shut the door and jogged to the other side joining me...

"Let's go Tobias...." He ordered...

"Sir Adam, your father....."

"I don't want to talk about family today Tobias.

Read " Innocent Obsession " by the same author ( Fideh Mwangi )

. I just want to show miss Amyra around..." 

"Who is Adam Almasi like seriously????" I asked...

"Amyra, our realities suck and just for today can we pretend we are happy and have fun...." His soft expression turned hard instantly...

"I am sorry for the stupid question...."

"It's okay...." He went back to typing angrily in his phone...

The rest of the drive was silent  as I stuck my face on the window....

Our first stop was at The Louvre...The only thing I can remember Adam explaining to me is, it was once a home to French Kings such as Louis something and  during the French Revolution in the 18th century it was converted into a museum...

I wasn't paying attention. I was just glad I wasn't stuck in that boring suite the whole day...

The next stop was  Musee D'Orsay. It was literally the work of art... 

I am not a fan of art but listening to Adam show me Monet,Manet and the likes intrigued me...

"It's is literally a collection of the who's and who's in the impressionist art world..." He beamed...

The one thing that amused me though was  the train station that looked like a palace...

After he was done showing me around, we were both starving and so we ended up having some food at his Favourite street cafe...

I can't remember the name..I was very hungry to even think straight...

As we walked behind and around the streets of Sacre'-Coeur, Adam held my hand and I won't lie they fitted perfectly.

We got to see the city's only surviving vineyard, a Dali museum,tiny gardens, a park dedicate to love and statues coming out of the wall...

"Do you love it????"He asked...

"Of course Adam...You are an amazing tour guide.. I could listen to you all day..."

"I am glad my company is been enjoyed...." 

"Who wouldn't want to be in your company Mr Almasi????"

"The one I wanted to be here with me today...." He replied sadly...

Did his wife or girlfriend ditch him?? Or far worse dump him??? Who in their right mind would leave this???

"Do you wanna talk about it???"

"Let's hurry up I don't want us to miss the sunset...." Again with not wanting to talk about himself or his issues...

The front steps of Sacre'- Couer offers one of the best panoramic views of Paris...

We arrived just in time and sat on the front steps to watch the sunset and the lights of Paris come alive..

The lights came one by one below us and soon the city was aglow...

"It's so beautiful Adam..." I was awestruck resting my head on his shoulder...

"I knew you would love it Amyra. The city of lights of fame..."

"I just want to sit here all night...."

"We will sit here for an hour so as you can see something even more amazing...."

"Really????"

"Just wait for it...." He intertwined our fingers and looked at me with admiration...Like I was some Kind of an amazing art...

"Why are you looking at me like that???"

"You are so beautiful, do you know that????"

"Yeah but it feels amazing hearing you say it...." 

"Never take shit from any man Amyra..Promise me that you will appreciate yourself and always know your worth..Promise me!!!!!"

"I will promise, if you promise that one day you will tell me about that somebody who bailed on you today...."

"Mmmmmh!!!!I promise...." He chuckled.

"Me too Adam...."

I can't believe I finally got to see the famous Eiffel Tower sparkle...

"You were right Adam, it's so beautiful...."

"I told you..." 

"Thank you...." I excitedly pressed a kiss on his cheek and he looked at me shocked.

"I am sorry!!!" I covered my mouth with my hand, feeling embarrassed.

"It's okay but you shouldn't tempt a man like that. You might give him ideas especially now that his ego is wounded...." He also pressed a kiss on my cheek too...

"I would have kissed you on the lips but I don't play around with girls who aren't single..." He said in a low seductive voice sending shivers down my spine...

"And I don't play around with strangers..." My hand roamed down his chest marveling at how hard it was...

"Ouch!!!!" He took my hand and brought it to his lips,"I am offended..."

"You better be!!!!"

I was glad the friendly Adam was back..The whole day he seemed off and sad but I am happy that now he can joke and tease me around...

We enjoyed a delicious 3-course dinner of French cuisine accompanied by a bottle of champagne in another Adam's favourite hotel...

Adam complained about the food being awful in the next place we were going and he didn't want me to have a horrible experience...

"Have you ever been to Paris before????"

"No it's my first time and you????"

"Sixth or Seventh I guess...."

"For a first timer,a visit wouldn't be complete without a trip up the Eiffel Tower. Before I go back home, I will take you there if your married man doesn't mind..." I could sense sarcasm in his last statement...

"He is too busy saving his company..."

"Why, is he going bankrupt????" 

"No but he will soon if he doesn't do something.. The sales have dropped for the last six months..The new products are terrible..." I explained hastily,sipping my champagne...

"How terrible???" 

"The Itasa hair dye is causing the hair to fall out, the hair relaxer is burning the scalp and the shampoo isn't good either. I don't know if they made the products with their eyes closed."

"Poor him!!!Why doesn't he rebrand???"

"He can't do that without investors and that's why he is here to try and convince the Morellos brothers not to pull out...."

"I hope you have a plan B if everything goes south...." He placed his hand on mine and squeezed it..

"I always have a plan B Adam...." I assured...

"I am glad...We should get going, the 11 pm show it's about to start...."
He outstretched his hand and I took it as we both walked out of the restrauant...

When we got to Moulin Rounge, we sat down for the 11pm late show,drinking champagne while we watched a live cast of dance performances, acrobats and musicals...

They really floored me...

By the time we got back to the hotel, I was exhausted and sleepy...It had been a really long day...

"I have a lot to show you tomorrow, if you are still interested...." Adam stated while we were in the elevator.

"Trust me, I am so in...." I said excitedly...

"Thank you for today Amyra, I really enjoyed your company..."

"Me too Adam, you really know how to pleasure a woman..."

"Tomorrow, I will make sure to give you multiple orgasms too!!!!" He teased...

"Naughty man!!!!" I smacked his arm...

"Your choice of words Amyra...."He grinned...

"I meant please a woman, I am just so tired..."

"You...." His phone began buzzing...

"What???" He yelled after answering...

"You could have informed me yesterday night when you called...."

"I didn't want to come to France, it was your idea Penelope...." He cussed out..

The moment the elevator doors slid open, he walked out of the elevator angrily without even saying goodbye...

Was he married???Who was Penelope???

I could understand why I was getting jealous...We just met yesterday and deep down I knew he was too good looking to be single. Maybe also married with kids...

Of late I have proven to have a very pathetic taste in men...Penelope if you don't want him, there is some women out here who can take good care of him..

I dragged my feet from the elevator and into the last place I wanted to be.

"Hello love???" Jacob beamed the moment he saw me...

Love???Does this guy have multiple personality disorder???

"I will go shower and sleep...it's been a long day..."

"How is Adam???Did he ask about me and what I do????"
Is this a joke???

"Why would he ask about you???"

"Because I am a CEO and so is he..."

Adam is a CEO???Interesting... Tall,dark,handsome and financially stable...

What a package....

"He didn't ask about you since he doesn't know you and isn't interested..." I said Icily...

"You should hold onto him Amyra...He is a very rich man and from a very wealthy family...Do you know he owns a private jet????"

"Not that he mentioned...."

He rarely talks about himself dude...

"You two being friends it's good for us Amyra...."

The nerve of this asshole...

"I will keep that in mind!!!" I rolled my eyes and walked past him to go to the bedroom...

A/N
Quick guess people who is Penelope???
