The Mafia's Twin Sons
Arzhia Maverik, a 25-year-old simple woman, worked as a staff officer at a private company in country A.
Zhia was an extremely quiet and bashful lady, not due to her temperament but rather owing to her disadvantaged status and the fact that, in this world, she stood alone.
Zhia was an impoverished orphan, unremarkable in appearance, yet her heart radiated warmth and goodness when she fell for someone.
Indeed, Zhia was currently enamoured with her male office mate, Liam Hudson. Liam also worked at the same company as Zhia and was known to be friendly to everyone, particularly women, though only to use them for his own ends, including Zhia.
For Zhia, who had never felt a man's attention before, she mistakenly believed that Liam's kindness indicated his love, not realizing that she was just being used for tasks like buying food and drinks at the company. Unbeknownst to her, her love was unrequited.
Today marked the company's 10th-anniversary celebration. Zhia had dressed up beautifully in her newly purchased best dress, ready to express her feelings to Liam.
That evening, Zhia had steeled herself to confess her love to her male colleague.
Having harboured these feelings for so long alone, she decided to voice them directly to the man himself.
Everyone had gathered there, including Liam, who was jovially engaging with other female acquaintances. Tentatively, Zhia approached and asked, "Liam, can we talk for a moment over there?"
"Hmmm, what's up? Just talk here," Liam responded, frowning, especially after noticing Zhia's exceedingly outdated outfit.
"Okay, then! I will say it right here," Zhia whispered, her face already flushed before she could declare her feelings.
"Hmmm, go ahead," Liam casually said while sipping a glass of wine in his hand.
"I LIKE YOU, LIAM! Would you date me?" Zhia shouted in front of everyone, turning herself into the center of everyone's attention.
Despite the intense embarrassment, Zhia felt a great sense of relief after revealing her pent-up affection.
Meanwhile, Liam almost choked on his wine when he heard the love confession from the modest and quaint-looking woman.
"No can do!" Liam immediately refused with utter clarity.
"Why? Haven't you liked me all this time too?" asked Zhia naively, her face displaying her disappointment.
"Hey, look at Zhia! She really doesn't know her place. How could she think to ask the handsome Liam to date someone like her? She must be out of her mind," Zhia's colleagues whispered behind her.
"Yeah, true! Maybe she doesn't even have a mirror at home," another companion snickered.
"How could she afford a mirror? She has to beg just to eat. Look at her outfit at this fancy party; even the waiters here are dressed better than she is," another colleague added.
"Yeah, you're right! I bet Liam rejected her on the spot," a colleague affirmed.
"Hey, do you think you're worthy of dating me? Huh?" Liam sneered, his face showing disgust toward Zhia.
"Just look at yourself, so shabby, looking like a beggar here. You're so poor, and do you think your face is beautiful? Huh!" Liam taunted with scorn and condescension.
"You're not fit to date me; you're just embarrassing me here. Go away! You don't belong in a place like this," Liam expelled her, his emotions a mixture of anger and humiliation from Zhia's love declaration.
"Liam, if you don't like me, then why have you always been so nice to me? Hikss..." Zhia asked again, starting to cry from the insults from the man she had loved.
"Hey, Liam is always nice to everyone! It's just you who doesn't appreciate his kindness as if it's love," sniped the woman who was Liam’s date that night.
"Hey, guys! Probably Zhia would give herself up if anyone pretended to like her. Come on, who wants to sleep with this woman!" Liam jeered, further demeaning Zhia as if auctioning her off cheaply.
"Plakkk.."
Zhia's slap landed squarely across Liam's face before she quickly left the party, sobbing all the way down the street.
Zhia continued to walk the night streets until she arrived at a fairly posh bar in the area.
Without hesitation, Zhia entered and began ordering a slew of drinks with the money she had painstakingly saved.
She drank heavily, completely inebriated, attempting to drown the heartache inflicted by Liam.
"Aakkhh, damn it! Who does he think he is, huh! That damn Liam! Rotten scoundrel! Dog excrement! Scum of society," Zhia cursed loudly while continuing to drink her alcohol.
"Tonight, I'll prove that I, Arzhia Maverick, can sleep with a man more handsome than you, Liam Hudson!"
"Just you watch, LIAMMM!" Zhia rambled on drunkenly.
"Let's see who's the most handsome man around here. Hahahahah...."
Zhia started to scan her surroundings, comparing every man in the bar to Liam’s attractiveness.
"Ah, found one!"
Zhia's eyes landed on a man in a black suit sitting alone amid the noisy bar atmosphere.
"Tonight, you will be mine, Handsome Man!"
With her already staggering body, Zhia walked towards him and without any preamble sat down on his lap.
The man appeared quite shocked by Zhia's sudden presence, but his cool gaze did not deter her brazenness.
In a voice dripping with allure, Zhia whispered into the man's ear, "Would you care to join me for some fun tonight? Don't worry, I'll pay you handsomely."
Hearing Zhia's proposition, the man smirked and replied, "Sorry, Miss! But my rates are quite steep; I fear you won't be able to afford them."
"Aishhh, come on! Let's have fun tonight; I'll pay whatever you ask. I've brought a lot of money with me tonight," she insisted.
"Alright, make sure you pay in full for the night. Because I’ll satisfy you to the extent you won’t be able to flee come morning," said the man as he effortlessly lifted Zhia and carried her into one of the hotel rooms available at the bar.
