Sweet Revenge novel Chapter 1

Slipping off of my dark clothing, I threw it into the back of my car and fixed on a pair of heels and applied dark red lipstick as my eyes zeroed in on Marcus. Walking in through the oak doors, the little bell chimed letting people know there was a new customer.

My red pumps smacked against the marble ground and several heads looked my way. A few guys stared at me with wide eyes, while others smirked and sent me winks.

Ignoring their stares, my eyes didn't leave Marcus, as I strode up towards him, his green eyes glued to his smart phones screen.

Walking past him I suddenly stopped and turned around to face him, putting on a look of surprise on my face.

"Marcus Williams?" I said tilting my head and his head shot up and his eyes grew slightly wide as he took me in.

"Do I know you?" He asked looking at me from head to toe, as he slipped off his shades and bit the end of them looking at me with a grin.

"No, but I know you," I said with a smirk and he quickly stood up, pulling out a chair for me.

"Please. Take a seat," He said also smirking and I sat down in the chair he pulled out. He placed himself back down on his seat and looked at me expectantly.

"I just moved into town. My old company suggested I look for new business with the best companies," I said leaning forward and he raised an eyebrow.

"Best companies like my own?" He said leaning forward and a flirty smile suppressed his features.

"Ofcourse," I said with a grin, "-I noticed you right away."

Marcus grinned in delight and leaned back. My stomach did a little twirl and I forced the nervous feeling away. I wasn't letting his pride wreck my plan. Never.

"So you'd like me to help you out?" He said with an eyebrow raised, "-I don't just help out strangers."

"That's fine. I could try and find someone else that could maybe give me an interview," I said and paused, shrugging my shoulders, "-I just heard you were the best."

"And indeed I am," He said loosening his tie.

"I sure will," I said with a little flirty smile. Marcus smirked and with one last look he left.

I watched him leave and once I saw his expensive looking car speed away I left the building and got into my car.

My hands immediately clutched onto the steering wheel and I squeezed them hard, making my fists go white.

I took in a sharp intake of breath as images of Marcus killing my parents went through my mind.

"Relax," I soothed myself, "-you're not Samantha. You're Victoria now," I said firmly looking into the review mirror at my reflection.

Seeing my now dyed hair and now mature face, I snapped back to my senses and slightly relaxed in my seat.

I was going to do fine. Tonight I'd go to the event, drink some fancy wine and make progress.
