As the sunlight wrestles in my room from inside the window, it gives luminescence to my darkish room. Rubbing my eyes with my hands, I wake up from the bed.

It's been a month when you consider that I won Miss. Universe title. I gave several interviews on many discussions, suggestions and information channels. Taking a little time for one week has enhanced my energy. Now, It's time to get lower back on my busy and worrying schedule. I pick my phone from the nightstand and call Emma, my manager. She receives my call.

"Good morning, Emma."

"Good Morning, Ma'm." Emma replies with the aid of yawning.

"Sleepyhead, What did I tell you? Never call me Ma'am. It makes me feel old. Call me Avery."

"Sorry, Avery..."

"Ok, Now, Tell me my latest schedule. Do I have any appointments?"

"Wait! Let me check your present-day schedule."

"Fine. Check it."

After ready, some extra seconds on the phone, Emma sooner or later replies, "Avery, You have an appointment with Mr Elijah and Veneto."

"What? Who is this Elijah Veneto? And, what is this appointment about?"

"Mr Elijah Veneto is regarded as the world's most effective businessman. His company owns many fashion industries, hands industries along different confidential industries. He wishes to work with you on a new project where both of you will be business partners."

"It sounds like a captivating deal. But, I do not desire to take it. Tell him that he can appoint anyone else and cancel his appointment."

"But, Avery..."

"No, buts. Just do what I said."

"Ok, Avery. Have a good day."

"You too," I say as I hang up the phone.

Elijah Fucking Veneto. Why am I getting this feeling that I've heard that name? Ugh! Stop thinking. I think I've heard somewhere about him. Whatever... Let's get ready.

I go inside my bathroom and take a warm shower. After taking a shower, I come out of the restroom and wrap a towel around my naked body. Standing in the closet, I start looking for the perfect outfits for my office.

After attempting several dresses, I pick out my perfect dress and look at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a Mia scalloped cotton black dress with black pointed toe high heels. For the last touch up, I brush my hair and make a ponytail. Finally, I apply eyeliner and red lipstick. Now, I seem to be good.

Then, I take my car keys and drive towards my company. That's right, I'm now not only Miss Universe, however additionally CEO of Bennett Enterprises. I'm the single child of my parents. That's why they handed over their company to me after retirement.

When I reached my company, then I parked my car in the parking lot and entered my office. As soon as I entered the office, all eyes fell upon me. Employers start whispering. Then, a crew of employees comes closer to me and congratulates me for triumphing Miss. Universe title. I thank them and then take my steps in the direction of my cabin.

When I enter my cabin, then I see that someone is waiting for me. That person's back is going through me due to the fact he was once sitting on one of my chairs. I have to look at him carefully. His hair seems wholly groomed and styled. He was in a black workplace suit.

"It's impolite to stare, Ms Bennett." His surprising phrases startled me and I mentally facepalm myself. Just relax, Avery...

Then, I see him. He is a tall man with a fantastically sculptured physique and sun-kissed skin. He has brunette coloured taper wavy hair with a chiselled jaw and Grecian hooked nose. His almond smiling grey eyes are stunning. His plum lips look so delicious and inviting. This man is the definition of an actual wonderful Greek God. It's like he is out of this world. Very Mysterious but so sexy...

Fuck! What is happening to me? Control yourself, Avery. Remember that men are trash.

Unknown's POV

They say that if you want to get something, then you need to make a move before all of us else attempt to get it. That's what I'm doing. I want Avery. So, I've made my move. Now, Enough of this unknown creepy talk and let me introduce myself...

I'm Elijah Veneto, son of Blade Veneto and Elysia Veneto. My father is a mafia leader of the Italian Mafia Mala Del Brenta. That is right, I'm the inheritor of the Italian Mafia Mala Del Brenta. Not solely that, I'm also CEO of Veneto Industries and the world's most effective businessman. Multiple fashion industries, weapons industries and many others are underneath me. I've two siblings. One is my twin sister Lara Veneto and the other one is my younger brother Sin Veneto.

"Elijah, I want to inform you of something." An acquainted voice barges into my office's cabin. I turn around and see that it's Cole Santiago, My Assistant and Hacker.

"What happened, Cole?" I ask him while checking my office files.

"She rejected your deal and cancelled your appointment." My gaze shifts from file to Cole. I was staring at him. What did he say? She now not only rejected my deal but also cancelled our appointment.

"Who told you that?" I growl loudly in anger. Yes, I was mad. How dare she rejected my deal? No one has ever stated no to me.

"Her assistant Emma called me. She informed that Avery appreciated your deal, but then she courteously declined your deal."

That's it. I take my phone and my car keys from my desk and storm off to her company. During the whole driving, I am questioning that why the fuck she reject my deal? This deal would benefit both of us.

As soon as I attain her office, I park my car in the parking lot. Then, I entered the building. This building was made of huge blue glass walls which have been shining in shiny sunlight. There was a fountain in front of the predominant gate and the total location was surrounded by using flower beds of distinctive flowers.

I entered through the massive glass doors, and as quickly as I stepped inside, Everyone commenced staring at me with broad and open eyes. The sounds which were coming from right here and there also stopped. Everyone used to be staring at me. It was like they were afraid of me.

But, I do not care about them. I want to see Avery. When I go in the direction of her cabin, a girl stops me from going inside her cabin.

"Who are you?" I ask her annoyingly as she dared to stop me.

"I'm Ms Bennett's Assistant Emma Bentley. I'm sorry sir, however, you can not go inside. Miss. Bennett has now not come, and she would not like it when anyone goes inside her cabin without her permission."

"Don't you know who I am? I'm Elijah Veneto, CEO of Veneto Industries. I don't need anyone's permission to go somewhere." I snap at her angrily.

Fear comes across her face. She was sweating a bit. "I... I'm sorry, Sir. If you surely choose to go inside, then you can go, but please don't inform Ms Bennett about our encounter, or I'll lose my job."

"Fine. You can go to work." She nodded and I entered Avery's cabin. As I entered her cabin, I looked around myself. This cabin used to be elegant. The partitions were of coral and white colour. Everything was perfectly organised. There was a big office desk in the centre which was made of marble and wood. This cabin was fashionably unique. My Avery has splendid taste.

I sit down on an empty chair which was round the table and start waiting for her. After waiting a few minutes, I hear the sound of a lady's high heels from outside the cabin.

Suddenly, the Cabin's door opened slightly, and an intoxicating jasmine scent surrounded the whole place. This scent was adequate to make you lose your mind. Then, I feel someone staring at me. It's her.

"It's impolite to stare, Ms Bennett," I say by having a little smirk on my face.

She has not replied to anything. She waits a bit and then, the sounds of her footsteps come closer to me.

"Who told you that I was staring at you?" A sweet, but sassy reply escapes from her mouth. I tilt my head a little in her direction and stand up from the chair.

Wow... She is probably the most stunning woman I've ever seen. I stare at her from head to toe.

She is sporting a black dress which is a bit revealing that I can see a little image of her tits. She has shiny brown hair with a diamond face and a long pointed nose. Her blue coloured deepest upturned eyes are so beautiful that I can stare into them for a complete day without even blinking. Her bloody red coloured full heart pouty lips look certainly delicious that I can kiss for hours without even breathing. Her curves are additionally in their right place, displaying her breathtaking beauty.

This woman is the definition of an actual Greek Goddess. I don't know how long I can control myself around her.

"Are you even listening to me?" She says as I snap out of my thoughts about her.

"Yes, I'm listening to you," I reply with a bit of hesitation.

"Sure. Now, tell me, who are you? And, what are you even doing in my cabin without my permission?" She snaps as she sits on her chair close to the table.

I also take a seat on some other chair close to the table and speak, "I'm Elijah Veneto, CEO of Veneto Industries. I'm right here because you rejected our deal and then cancelled our appointment. Why did you do that?"

"So, you are the notorious Elijah Veneto. Look, Mr Veneto, I understand about your deal, but I rejected it due to a reason-"

"- and I choose to recognize that reason." I cut her off.

"The motive is that I don't understand why, however, I'm now not involved in this deal. I've received a bizarre feeling about this deal and my experience of feeling something is usually right. So, you can go now." She says while looking into my eyes.

"Not until you finalize our deal because I comprehend that you will do it now."
