Chapter 116: A part of your past

Mrs. Smith is my business partner Baby. I choose her to be the face people see because I want a quiet life. All that social media paparazzi and popularity will do me no good." He said touching her cheeks. "Don't you think so?"

"I don't understand, my bracelet and earring, they are from.....

"From Tarvan Jewelry, Yes." Simon replied.

Paige walked over to the arm chair and sat down with a confused facial expression. "Simon Kentley, how many businesses do you own?" She asked folding her arm under her bossom with a serious look.

Simon pulled the side stool over and sat beside her. "Tarvan jewelry." He replied.

"I know that now. What else?" She asked.

"Alright, I'll tell you." He started. "There is Tarvan jewelry which provides up to 30% of my net worth. Judging from the fact that it is barely seven years old, I think it's doing so well." He told her. "There is Kentleys, a real estate company. I told you about it before right?" He asked.

"No, you didn't. But I suspected when you told me about getting those lands at the River village." She replied.

"Okay." He replied. These two businesses are my major source of income. Kentleys provides about 50% of  my net worth. Then there is a Bakery at England...."

"What!" Paige exclaimed unable to hold it anymore. There is another one?" She asked as she wondered how he could pull all these off at such a young age. Who takes care of the Bakery? It's so far away. How do you keep tabs?" She asked.

"The bakery is overseen by my Aunt. It kind of help keep her busy and she loves cooking so much. So the bakery actually make her feel alive. I prefer her handling it than working at her previous job though. Her previous job was too stressful." He explained. "Then, there is the Ranch I told you about. It's located in a very small town called Galvile. The purpose of the ranch is basically to help offer job opportunities to the people over there and for the purpose of charity as well." He said.

"Like the cardiac center?" Paige asked.

"Yes and other charity works I might decide to take up. Money realized from the ranch is basically for it's upkeep, payment of the workers there and helping in charity related matters like scholarships, skills acquisition trainings and the rest of it." He said.

"Apart from the cardiac center, what other charity scheme did you venture in?" Paige asked.

"The cardiac center is not entirely free Baby." He said. "It is open for the general public as well. The medical personnels working over there are extremely qualified. So, people who are bouyant enough to afford a heart surgery are allowed to pay. While the ones who cannot afford the bill are given a ted talk, their informations are gathered and they will be picked at random. Our target at the CC centre every year is a total number of 20 charity cases. I also have some farmer's children at Galvile whom I assist with scholarships and some, I help with their fees." He told her.

Listening to him speak, Paige felt nothing but admiration for the man seated in front of her. She wished she met someone like him when she lost her poor father. Maybe life wouldn't have been so hard for her. She imagined the gratitude these families he helped would have for him. It will be an endless flow of appreciation from them all through. Even without being in their shoes, she was extremely grateful to him for being so kind and considerate even to people from the lower class She refrained herself from speaking immediately cause if she were to speak then, she might end up breaking down in tears.

Stretching forth her hands, she touched his fingers and bought it closer to her. "Thank you." She whispered to him. You are a very good person. I wish I have a half of this goodness in me." She said to him with a sad smile.

In response, Simon shifted his stool and sat down on the thick fur rug beside her legs. "You have more than enough goodness in you my love." He said bringing her hands to his lips. "Meeting you have turned my life to something magical and beautiful. You are my answered prayer Paige. Only if you knew how you've made me a better man." He said rubbing her hands. "You are perfect." He added.

"No, I'm not." She said immediately. "I've done a couple of things in life that I seriously regret. Things that I'm not even proud of." She told him.

"Baby....." 

"I want to share them with you." She said cutting him off. Simon looked up at her and shook his head.

"No, I don't think it's necessary." He replied. "You don't have to say a thing. Nothing you say right now will change how I feel about you." He told her. But Paige smiled dryly and insisted.

"I need to say it." She said joining Simon on the rug. She looked at the billionaire CEO sitted beside her with his eyes focused squarely on her and full of wild emotions.

"I'm listening then." Simon finally said holding her hands hoping it was something he already knew.

"I was once a stripper Simon." She said. "After loosing my father, life was a bit hard. There were lots of bills to pay. I needed money like I needed air. I took up menial jobs but the cash was not enough. I tried applying for student loan severally but I never got. So when I got an invite to a private party where beautiful strippers were needed, I accepted. It took me a couple of days to learn the basic steps. After that day, I was paid handsomely and the money went a long way. But then instead of stopping, I went back for more." She paused looking down to her hands. "Simon, I don't know if I deserve you. You are nice to a fault and you've struggled to build a great and strong image for yourself. I need you to know this about me. You said you want to show me off to the whole world, most of the people I striped for were wealthy men."

"If we're doing this, I need to open up to you about this part of my life......" Her voice faltered.

Simon drew her closer to him. "You mean this part of your past. Cause this was all in your past. I have a past I'm not proud of too and I'd love to tell you about it." Simon said to have Paige look up at him. He suddenly felt the warmth of her skin on his. She shifted her gaze to his lips first, then his nose before their eyes locked on each others.

Simon touched her face with his thumb. "I meant what I said Sunflower, there is absolutely nothing you'd say that will change the way I feel about you." He said as they drew closer to each other. And when they were only few inches apart, they grabbed each other's neck and pressed their lips in a kiss. Hungry for his touch, Paige drew even closer to him. He grabbed her and lay her on his laps and leaned on the arm chair for support. His erection pressed on her ass as they kissed each other. Simon placed her on the soft and thick fur rug and slid on top of her. He pressed her wrist into the rug on either side and held her down. "Tell me what you want Sunflower." He breathed on her ears.

"You, Simon. I want you." She responded.

Simon smiled and kisses her lips. First he licked her right nipple, then licked it again. He licked it like he licked her clit the previous night with long slow passes of his tongue. Her nipple hardened and as soon as it did, he sucked it into his mouth. He latched on the nipple and didn't seem ready to let it go. In response, she felt the tingling effect she wished to describe as blood flow rush to her nipple. Inside his warm mouth, he swirled his tongue round the peak and her nipple felt as hard as a diamond to her. He let it go and ended up pinching and tugging it with his fingers. With the tip of his fingers, he slapped her breast and waited to be told to stop. But only got an encouragement from Paige who couldn't stop moaning from the pleasure.

He slapped her breast again a little harder followed by a squeeze, more tugging and pulling of her nipple and a long suckling. Paige panted, moaned, she was extremely aroused. Without warning, he turned to the left breast. He slapped it too, grabbed it and groped it before putting his mouth on it." She cried out with pleasure begging him to alllow her reciprocate but he refused. He sucked the nipple deep into his mouth, continued sucking until she groaned from the back of her throat. He stopped and grabbed both breast. He massaged, squeezed and slapped them simultaneously.
