Sasha's POVSuddenly, I see a group of dangerous men clad in black suits coming closer to me, and my heart feels tight with fear and realization that saying ‘no’ to them might cost me dearly. Inconsolable, I have no option other than to go with them.They take me to a restaurant and I am shocked to see Gabriel eating breakfast with another man and from what I am observing – their manner of talking, having power over him, I had never seen this side of Gabriel before.As soon as the man steps outside, Gabriel beckons me to follow him. His smile is quite charming when he offers me a seat and the invitation to have breakfast together. The table is soon filled with delicious dishes, and he encourages me to eat more, ordering whatever I desire.Despite the spread before me, I can hardly eat. Gabriel's gaze is warm, and his companions' smiles only add to the pressure I feel.Once I manage to eat a little and my stomach is no longer growling, I thank Gabriel politely. I try to leave, insistin
Sasha’s POV"I didn't mean to..." I repeated weakly, my voice barely audible over the storm of emotions raging inside me. His words stung, but they also revealed a raw vulnerability in him that I hadn't seen before.Valentino's expression twisted with frustration and anger, his features hardening into a mask of disdain. The realization that I had failed him, and that my actions had reduced our relationship to this painful exchange, washed over me with bitter clarity."I'm sorry," I choked out, the words heavy with regret and resignation. At that moment, I knew there was no going back to how things were. The fragile threads that had held us together were now frayed beyond repair.He stepped back, his gaze cold and distant as he turned away. The weight of his disappointment hung heavy in the air, a palpable reminder of the rift that had widened between us.As he left, I sank to the floor, the cool tiles offering little comfort against the storm of emotions swirling within me. Tears
Sasha’s POV"Hello?" I answered quickly."Come to the Four Points," came Valentino's voice through the phone.The Four Points?I paused, recalling it was an entertainment venue. But why was Valentino summoning me there?Before I could ask, he had hung up, leaving me with a chill in my heart.With the weight of our contract pressing on me, I knew I had to go, despite any reluctance.Leaving my office, I called Kim, who was still working, "Kim, please leave work with me and drive me to the Four Points.""Okay," Kim nodded.Soon, I arrived at the Four Points with Kim's help."Do you need me to accompany you inside, Sasha?" Kim asked."No, go home. Thank you. If I need you to pick me up tomorrow, I'll call you," I said as I got out of the car and headed towards the dazzling entrance of the Four Points.The bright lights made me squint in confusion.What did Valentino want with me here?As I entered the Four Points, I called Valentino to ask where he was. After getting his room number, I p
Sasha’s POVThere were only three men left in the room. I couldn't kiss Valentino; our relationship was complicated and contractual. The man with the woman was out of the question. That left only Kylian, the handsome guy with the microphone.I glanced at Kylian.He seemed amiable enough.It had to be him!Summoning my courage, I stood up.Beside me, Valentino's lips curled slightly. He had been anticipating my kiss, strangely relieved and almost happy.But just as he waited for me to approach him, I bypassed him and walked over to Kylian instead.Valentino's expression darkened momentarily.Is this woman out of her mind?She chose Kylian over him, right beside her? Did she even realize who Kylian was?As Valentino's cold, intense gaze fixed on me, a chill swept through the room.Approaching Kylian, I asked in a low voice, "Is this alright?""Huh? Are you kidding, Sasha?" Kylian chuckled nervously, recoiling slightly. He knew all too well the deadly glare Valentino was shooting his way
Sasha's POVAs I finished my bath and prepared to settle in for the night, the rumble of a car engine outside drew my attention. Peeking through the curtains, I spotted Valentino's Rolls Royce parked downstairs. His presence there, particularly at this late hour, left me puzzled and uneasy. When our eyes met as he stood by the car, I hesitated momentarily before reluctantly deciding to confront him.Opening the door, Valentino rushed towards me, gripping my arm and steering me towards the sofa with an urgency that startled me. His eyes, clouded with alcohol, locked onto mine with an intensity that was both unsettling and confusing."I love you," he murmured into my ear, his breath tinged with the scent of wine.My heart skipped a beat. Could he really mean it? Despite knowing deep down it might be the alcohol talking, his words stirred a flicker of emotion within me. Despite his unpredictable behavior, I couldn't deny the bond we shared after spending so much time together.I stood t
Sasha's POVAs I got out of the car, I noticed many people from the company watching me.A group of girls let out surprised cries."Wow, it's Valentino!""Valentino is so handsome!""But wait, he dropped off our chairman! Do they live together?""Maybe, but aren't they just partners?""I heard they might have a thing. Why else would Valentino help her?"They kept talking, but I ignored them and walked in. Even I couldn't always understand Valentino, so I didn't expect them to.Once inside the company, I dove into a busy day. I had meetings in the morning and negotiations in the afternoon.The day flew by. Everything at RexCorp was going well, and I felt good about it.As long as RexCorp keeps growing, I'm happy. I want to keep things going well and not mess things up.Just as I was about to leave for the day, I got a call from a number I didn't recognize."Hello, who's this?""Sasha, it's me. I'm back." The voice was young and familiar, but I couldn't place it.Sensing my hesitation,
Sasha's POVI sat down to have breakfast. As I ate, I kept looking at Valentino. He ate his breakfast without showing any feelings, and his voice didn’t have any feelings either.At least he wasn’t as violent as before.There really wasn’t a problem with his handsome, yet evil face.I was scared. I didn’t know what had happened to him. I wasn’t used to this different Valentino.“Let’s try to socialize,” Valentino said suddenly.“What?” My curtlery fell to the ground, and I looked at him in horror.I felt like I was hearing things.What did he say? Socialize?How could that word come out of his mouth?We have a contract. We can’t have any public display of affections for each other. Valentino warned me about that!I said, “Valentino, don’t worry. I don’t have any personal feelings for you. You don’t need to test me.”“Test you? Who said anything about testing you?” His face was very cold. He stared into my eyes and said, “Do you really have no personal feelings for me?”“No,” I said fi
Sasha's POVEmilia and I stood there looking at skirts at a luxury store.I found one I liked. It was the latest edition and it was expensive, but it looked great on me."Sasha, try it on!" Emilia said, handing me the skirt. "It looks perfect for you!""Okay." I tried on the skirt.When I came out of the fitting room, everyone was amazed.The skirt was goose yellow, with matching accessories and a yellow flower headpiece. I also wore a necklace. The whole outfit made me shine.My look instantly improved, making me appear younger.Since becoming chairman, I usually wear more mature clothes, making me look older.But this lively yellow dress made me look ten years younger and very pretty."You look beautiful!" The sales assistant said."Yes, ma’am, this dress suits you perfectly. I've never seen anyone look better in it. It really was made just for you," the sales assistant praised.I didn't believe the sales assistant entirely.They always say nice things to make a sale.However, looki
