Here Comes The King

Lorenzo-

As soon as I walked through the hotel lobby everybody stopped in their tracks. The guards straightened their back and everyone in my staff looked with fearful eyes. It was like I was the monster. It should bother me the reaction I get from people, but it doesn't, that's who I am. They have to be scared of me and they will stay in their limits and will not try to cross me. It never ends well If someone crosses me, not for them that's for sure. I am a ruthless person and I don't hold back. So they have to fear me to even be alive as they are working for me. And I have never been the person to bother about what anyone thinks of me, they can think whatever they damn well please. I am the King in my emperor and they have to respect as well as fear me.

Today, We are hosting a party for some elite family for their son's homecoming. He was gone for many years for some work and now have come back to reclaim his place in the business world. So, it's a show for all influential people of this country to introduce the heir of their billion-dollar business empire. That's how it works, you Show them you have come to claim what's your's and they have to respect you and even welcome you to show their loyalty towards you and your family. 

My staff is scattered across the lobby and making sure everything goes smoothly. They have to be alert and here clumsiness isn't treated well. You have to pay for your every little mistake, or else you will not survive in this cut-throat world.

I turned towards the reception area, it's designed according to my taste. Everything here is how I planned it to be. This is my life to create splendid things like this and even destroy them when I see fit. This is my empire where I rule and where everything happens according to my wishes.

As soon as I walked towards the reception area, all the staff behind the desk got up and standed straight.The receptionist, a middle aged lady greeted me, "Sir, Hope you like the arrangements. It's all to your liking." finished she with a slight bow. 

I looked her straight into the eyes and I knew it would make her fidget and unnerved. I know the effect I have on people. The way I am looking at her she must be thinking that something is wrong and she is done for.

I smirked and stated, " I hope you have done well even if it is for your own sake, madam". With that, I turned away and left.

She must be regretting her life decisions by now. And she would make sure that nothing goes wrong. That's what I want.

I turned my attention to my assistant.He was young and innocent looking. But, don't let the looks deceive you applied here very well. He was sly, efficient and ruthless just like I wanted. He could get anything done for me. He was loyal to the core and he was one of the few people who I trusted.

"James, How's everything going?" I demanded.

"Very well, sir. Everything is going smoothly. You need not worry about anything" Stated he respectfully.

Keeping my eyes towards the ballroom door, I remarked, "I am going to the ballroom to see if everything is to our guest's taste. You keep your eyes on everything and make sure nothing goes wrong" not giving a second glance I walked towards the ballroom to see the arrangements for myself.As soon as I walked into the ballroom everyone standed on edge. I told ya the effect I have on people. They stay on guard around me. It didn't faze me but the unusual thing happened, there was a girl in the middle of the room.I could not see her clearly but she was lost in some deep thought and looked oblivious to her surroundings. I don't know what it was that made me walk towards her but even before thinking I had reached her. I was exactly behind her when her sweet smell of roses hit my nostrils. It was the sweetest thing I have ever smelled. It was unusual that she didn't sense my approach. Whole place becomes aware of me as soon as I step in. That's my power but this girl looked oblivious to my presence. I wanted to make her aware of my presence when she suddenly turned around and,

Bang!

She collided with my chest and was just going to fall when instinctively I grabbed her and held her in my arms to steady her. I was going to pull away when she raised her eyes towards me and I was awestruck with her beautiful emerald eyes.Damn, She was a beauty. She had long wavy hair which I had a sudden urge to grab. She had a sharp pointy nose and rosy lips. She was flushed and I swear I have never seen a more stunning women like her ever. I know I have a way with women and don't shy away from using my charm to lure them. One glance from me, and they would be crazy no matter how beautiful, innocent or rich they are. I have used their craziness to my advantage in many ways and I am not ashamed of it. I like it that way everyone is a pawn in a world ruled by me. And never had I been impressed by them But this women here, she has me stunned. I could not stop looking at her. But then someone coughed and I got out of my stupor and remembered where I was. Everyone in the ballroom was looking at us. I have to compose myself and react nonchalantly, the way I am supposed to be. Nobody effects me, this was nothing but a masculine reaction to this splendid beauty. To be snarky, I commented

"You should see where you are going, young lady.Or, are you being deliberate and trying to catch-eye of a rich man and achieve your Cindrella happily-richly-after." I knew for sure she was not among these people, she looked fine but looking at her closely I knew for sure she didn't belong to high-class society present here.

That remark made the lady angry. She steadied herself and got out of my grasp. I felt a sudden unexplainable sense of loss. She looked like an angry bird, she was furious and I knew she would give a bad ass reply. So, I waited there and god it was worth it. She angrily chirped in her melodious voice,

"Don't think too mighty of yourself, gentlemen. I have no interest of trapping you or any rich-ass man to be Cindrella. And who told you I wanted a Cindrella happily-ever-after. It would be nice if you keep your opinions to yourself. And it was you who was standing like a brick wall in the middle of the ballroom." 

She has a sexy voice. It produced some strong reaction in my body even an experienced slutty women couldn't produce. I wanted to see how angry this bird can get. So, I sarcastically commented, 

"Oh my bad lady, I will keep that in mind that You can't stand in a ballroom in a party. And oh If any lady isn't looking where she's going it's you who is to blame" and even bowed mockingly.

She was going to give some bad ass reply looking from the daggers she was throwing from her emerald eyes. That was the classical definition of if looks could kill, I would have happily died there.

But, then she heard something and turned behind and this was my cue to leave. I have to get myself together, I can get a beautiful girl anywhere but not my mighty empire that's the most important thing for me. I composed myself and left to attend my guests.
