Chapter 54Alexander’s POVI stared at Sarah while she was presenting and there was only one word that came to my mind. Amazing. The way she carried herself with such grace and composure had me hooked. I wasn’t surprised when the CEO we had packaged this for, rose to her feet and agreed to sign a ten-year contract with us.“I should never have doubted the abilities of your company.” she said as she signed the contract. I tried to listen to her but my eyes kept wandering to Sarah whom had been surrounded by happy board members.So, when the CEO finally left, I wasted no time in summoning Sarah to my office, immediately crashing my lips against hers.I lifted her on the desk and got drunk on the taste of her lips. Traces of the champagne she had taken earlier still lingered on her tongue, making me feral.“Alexander,” she breathed and I rested my forehead against hers. “Sarah, I want you.”Her eyes widened as she spared a glance to the door quickly before returning her gaze back to me

Chapter 53SARAH’S POVI looked at all the heads of department present. Alexander sat at the end of the table and the CEO with whom I was going to prove myself to was seated as well.I took a deep breath and rose to my feet as I straightened the tight pencil skirt I had bought for the occasion. I made my way to the front of the projector and bowed my head slightly. “Good day everyone.” I nodded to the CEO and she returned my gesture with a slight nod.“Without further ado, I’ll proceed with the presentation.” I turned to face the projector and switched it on. “I’ll be talking about the new method I’ve adopted for the advertisement of the new products.”“It’s termed an interactive ad game where users won’t just get to watch the advertisement run on their screen but also be able to partake in it, thus giving them a clear idea of what the product is all about.”I paused for breath and studied the room. Everywhere was quiet except for the CEO that shifted in her seat and studied the scre

Chapter 52SARAH’S POVThe next day came with no mercy. From the moment Alexander and I stepped into the office, I had been swept into back-to-back meetings, barely having the time to breathe.Some of the meetings were with Alexander as we discussed further details and most were done between me and my team members. I had channeled my full concentration into the meetings because they demanded sharp thinking and quick decision making.By noon, my temples throbbed wildly from gazing at too many PowerPoint slides. The only alone time I got with Alexander was when we went out for coffee break but that itself was short because while we sipped on our coffee, we were also sorting through different emails.Soon the sun set below the horizon and all the exhausted employees filed out, calling it quits for the day while Alexander and I stayed behind.We had shifted to the board room and a lot of business plans were scattered across the table. I suggested ideas and he listened. We had lost track

Chapter 51Sarah’s POVThe morning came faster than I wanted.I woke up that morning feeling the weight of what was ahead. Today was important. The meeting with the other company was set. I was going to put on my best outfit, I'd choose something sharp, professional. I needed to look strong. I needed to feel strong.I stood in front of the mirror, my hands smoothing down the black dress I had chosen.The fabric clung enough to look serious but allowed me to move. My hair was tied back, my makeup light but sharp. I looked like I was ready for war.Alexander leaned against the doorframe, watching me. His eyes moved from my head to my feet, slow, like he was measuring me.“You look… prepared,” he said finally.“I am,” I replied.His mouth curved faintly, but he didn’t comment further. Instead, he stepped closer, adjusting the chain of the ruby pendant around my neck. “Don’t forget who you belong to while you sit in that room.”I met his eyes in the mirror. “I won’t.”We left together.

Chapter 50Alexander's POV She looked up at me with those soft Bambi eyes of hers like I was the best thing that has ever happened to her. And it made my heart melt. I'd double thoughts when I was getting it for her – would she like it? Would she accept it?But still I got it, I just felt the sudden need to get her a gift. After what she did this morning, my heart softened towards her. The way she had rushed to teach sense into that worker was really cute. She had no idea what it was but still reacted to her instinct.“Put it on,” she urged giggling like a two year old kid.I lifted the chain and got ready to fasten it around her neck but I toyed with her. The stone rested against my skin, cold at first, then warm as if it were alive as I placed it around her palms for her to see the pendant very well.My gaze lingered on it, then on her. “Perfect.” she muttered. "It is the most beautiful thing I've ever set my eyes on." He leaned closer, his voice low enough for only me to hear. “Y

Chapter 49Sarah POV My fingers trembled.I could feel the air in my chest burning as I let go of the woman’s throat. Her skin had turned red where my hands had been. She stumbled back, coughing, her eyes wide with fear.I didn’t even understand why I had done it. All I know is I felt this sudden animalistic pull to hold on to what's mine. To put this woman in her place and pass the information that Alexander was mine and mine alone.Alexander stood there, watching. His jaw was tight, his eyes dark. He didn’t say a word to her. Instead, he stepped forward, grabbed my wrist, and pulled me away.His grip was firm, unyielding.“Come,” he said, voice low.The corridor felt colder as he dragged me along. I didn’t dare look at anyone. I could feel eyes on me, whispers following us, but I kept my gaze on the floor until we entered his office. What have I just done? I had nearly killed a woman with my bare hands? What was wrong with me?The door shut behind us with a heavy sound.“I’m… I’m s
