Alexander kept his gaze fixated on his secretary who fondled her hands as she approached him It took everything in him to resist the urge to chortle and tease her. She was about to knock, then wanted to leave.He saw everything. There was CCTV outside. He got it for protection but then it turned out useful."Ermm sir, I actually…I wanted to ask if—" Rosalie twirled her hair in her hands as she tried to search for a perfect excuse. It was embarrassing she wanted to see him then stopped."Come" Alexander ordered and she nodded. She averted her gaze everywhere except him as she trudged to the couch."Come here" Alexander pointed at the empty space beside him and her heart raced. It felt like it was jumping out of her ribcage.She swallowed hard trying to get control of her jelly legs and trudged to him. "Sir—" she sat but left a considerable distance between them which left Alexander amused.Every girl would jump at the opportunity to be close to him.But he loved it. He loved her shy n
Rosalie sniffed as she wore the necklace around her neck. She shut her eyes and kept it close. She took it on the trip because she needed to see it around her.It was unbelievable her mum left her father. She couldn't believe there was a chance she could meet her dad.But was he alive? Where was he?She sighed and shut her eyes as she trailed her hands on the necklace. She had one of his possessions and she loved it.The door creaked open and she whipped her head to the door. She stopped breathing and her lips went agape at the sight of Alexander.He was dressed in a brown t-shirt with his jacket on his arms. Her eyes traveled down and she melted at the sight of his tuxedo trouser. It fitted his stature perfectly.Alexander almost smiled as he watched her floored. His eyes roamed around her and he clicked his tongue delectably. She was clad in a long flowery gown that had slit to her mid thighs; that he got for her.She looked impeccably sophisticated."Are you ready?" He queried and
Rosalie batted her lashes as she tried to make a meaning out of her words.She was her boss' date? Was that why he never answered her question?But why did he take her as his date? Sophia was there, wasn't she?Despite her doubt, she felt important. He was an elegant man and taking her as his date, a sudden flare of joy bloomed inside of her."Oh my" the lady exclaimed and Rosalie turned to her. "I am Mia" Mia stretched her hands still wondering who Rosalie was. She thought he'd come with Sophia. Why didn't he?"Rosalie" Rosalie forced a smile and took Mia's hand. Mia's face was full of puzzle but all Rosalie figured out was contempt.Her insides churned as she wondered who Mia was. Was she some sort of her boss' ex-girlfriend?"I'll just wait here for Alex" Mia mumbled seeing Alexander didn't reply to her text."Hmm" Rosalie forced a hum and averted her gaze back at the ballet dancers. No matter how hard she tried, her brain couldn't register their performance any longer.She wonder
Rosalie gulped nervously as she tried to keep up with Alexander's pace. His grip on her was tight as he led the way through the crowd.They walked different hallways until she saw the parking lot. Alexander's grip on her tightened the more as they walked."Sir" she released a whimper and Alexander stopped at once. He turned to her and batted his lids.What did he just do? He whipped his head back and Williams was staring back at them. Did he follow them outside?"I—" Rosalie bit on her lips and bent down to her legs. She rubbed on her ankle while Alexander examined her legs. "Are you hurt?" He asked and she stood straight at once.She shook her head as she stared at him. Why did he come grab her like that? When Alexander averted his gaze, she did too and her eyes rested on Williams."Alex" Williams called when he reached them. "Is there a problem?"Alexander scoffed. "No, there isn't," he replied in a tight voice. He couldn't believe Rosalie didn't miss him. He expected her to be lon
Alexander pulled her to himself as he grabbed her face. She ducked her head backwards as his cold tongue peppered her skin with kisses.She gripped his shirt tighter and that only drove him crazy. He grabbed her neck to protect her neck against the car."You're pretty" he held her firmer and without warning, his lips tangled with hers in a passionate kiss.His hand continued its work moving up to her thighs and the whimpers that escaped her lips muffled into their locked mouth.He grabbed her thighs to meet his poking urge. His hands made their way into her dress and within minutes, his hands met with her wet folds.Rosalie released a soft gasp and broke the kiss at the intrusion. She leaned back to give him more access and Alexander tightened his hold around her back to protect her."Be careful" he whispered and again their eyes locked.Rosalie's inside fluttered as she gazed into the sterling gray eyes that accentuated the desires his body held. His eyes had turned scarlet and as sh
Apprehension took over her as the blaring sound of the siren drew closer.She batted her lashes and walked back to the room people were. The rain had gone down and was only drizzling.She glanced around and saw almost everyone was with creased brows, wondering what the police came for.The fierce looking police men walked in and Rosalie's heart raced. Were they on a patrol?Why did they have their jaw clenched?Unanswered questions tugged on her chest and her thoughts wandered around. The shutting of the door jerked her back to life and she saw the police did that.Her brows creased and she instinctively searched for her protection — Alexander amidst the crowd.Her brows puckered up and she sneezed as she searched for him. Where was he? Where did he go to?As her eyes darted around for Alexander to keep her safe from the penetrating gaze of the police, her eyes caught a glimpse of a hand sliding a nylon into a bag.She tore her eyes away from the scene before casting her gaze back to
Alexander's POVMy fist tightened as I sank into my thoughts. Drugs. One famous drug lord controlled almost the entire hard drugs in Italy.And that person is familiar.I tugged on my hair as I reminisced on what Rosalie did. It was illogical. She was an innocent, gormless lady.I sighed and hurried to the CCTV. I was sure news would have reached that boss. I was sure there was trouble ahead.It loomed and rang in my head as I watched the footage. I had to see what happened while I was away. I needed to see.As the footage played, fear and apprehension held me in its claw. I barely made out what played in front of me as I reminisced on what Rosalie did.I was sure the familiar being I knew wouldn't take it easy if he was the boss of those drugs.A figure appeared on the screen and my eyes widened when he unlocked the door. My mouth fell open and my nails dug into my palm as his face appeared.It was him!At that moment, I stood and dashed to Rosalie's room. "Rosalie!" I pushed the doo
Alexander's POVI batted my lashes as I watched Rosalie through the mirror. She had just been taken into the hospital and was about to be attended to.Sweat broke on my face and my hands trembled as my imagination ran wild. The fear gripped me tightly, it's suffocating grips choking me as time went by.She was injected with the hard drugs.Collins drugged her even after I helped with the transportation of his drug. I clenched my hands together as I stared at Rosalie shaky self.While I drove home, her pupils dilated and constricted at intervals. I could see the drugs took effect on her.It was overdose.I casted my gaze down as regret pinned me and dealt furiously with me. It was my fault. I wasn't supposed to take her for that coffee.I wasn't supposed to take her for that coffee. To prevent all that, I shouldn't have brought her to Italy.How could I have forgotten how shady my life was?I sniffed and sighed. I just had to wait. They had to get the drugs out of her bloodstream.We'd
