My Stilettos - Ch. 1

Alma Constante

Only by taking one look at this woman you can tell that she wants everyting from her life.She wants fortune, glory and passion.And she never thought that she could have passion from only one man.She's not simply beautiful, she's gorgeous.Unfortunately, she never had any of those things she desired.She was born in a simple family and she was raised in a simple way by her parents, who never undersoond why their only child, their beutiful daughter couldn't be happy with this way of life.Since she was only a child she saw that beautiful women, dressed in long, red, strapless dresses,with the world at their feet.And she knew she wanted to be one of those weomen.Someday.

Now, being in her early 20's, she's decided to make her dream real.She left her town, her parents and her acquaintances and moved in Twinbrook, far away from her modest past.

Soon after that she lerned that living on your own is not so simple as she thought.With the money her parents gave to her she could only buy a small house in the city's outskirts.So, she had no choice but to het a job.

Being a mediocre student all her high school days, she failed to develop any skill, so Alma chose the Business Career.However, it was not important, as long as she got some money to make her dream become true.

She had a plan.Of course she had one.She spent all her childhood years planning everything, to the last detail.Unlike any other children, she never dreamed to become a great doctor, or to work in Police.She never dreamed to work.No.She wanted something else for her.Nothing more than a perfect, careless life.She planned to marry one of the richest men in town and to spent his money (no, their money)  buying everything she had ever dreamed.She knew that won't be easy, but she was determined to do it. 

After her first day of work, she met her boss, Wei Keane, who, surprisingly, was a very charming guy.He even flirted a little with her, insinuating that if she will flirt back, she might get a promotion.And she accepted.

A couple of days later, after work, he asked her to visit him, at his house.And, of course, she accepted.They talked about work (a little) and stopped at the Restaurant, for the dinner.It was a nice evening and they both enjoied it.Alma was even starting to think that she might achive her dream sooner that she thought.

At his house he started again to flirt with her and she flirted back. 

Soon after that, ve envited her in his bedroom and they started making out.

Alma was conscious that she has no feelings for this man (and she will probably never have), but it felt so good to be kissed by a charming guy, knowing that tomorrow she will probably be promoted.

It was a nice start for Alma's plan to achive her happiness.

In the morning, when she woke up, Alma observed that she was alone in the bed.Next to her, on the pillow, she found a short note, with a packet.She smilled when she read Wei's words: Thank you for the last night.It was magical.See you this evening, in the headquarters, for a formal party.Dress with this.Then she oppened the packed and found a beautiful, silk, black dress.She couldn't be happier and she tried it, observing that it fits her perfectly.

That evening she came at the party dressed with the black dress.All her male co-workers were out of words when they saw her.She danced with some of them, also spending some time with her boss.

Her last dance was with an unknown old man, who recomended as Max Racket.

Next Monday, at work, she found her co-worker chatting about the party.She also heard a gossip that almost shocked her: the man she met at the end of the party was no other than the principal investor for the Oil business from town.She was also a little disapointed when she found out that Wei's fortune couldn't even be compared to that man's.So Alma rapidly changed her plans.She has to meet again that man!But she wasn't ready to let Wei go, so ... she decided to keep him too.
