ROMAN'S POV

The words rang through. Cold. Neat.

“You all answer to me.” she looked at them all. Her friend, Cleo included. Every single soul quiet. Tensed. “I don’t care who you are, where you’re from or who brought here. As long as you’re here, discussing my project, I speak, you listen. I explain, you ask questions. I order, you go! Listen, understand, excute; that’s your job!”

Fuck.

“W-woah c’mon now, Alina.” Daniel tried to joke, “I-it hasn’t gotten to this.”

“That will be ma’am to you.” she

  • CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex    Chapter 156

    ALINA'S POV I caught the soft tug of his lips as he finished drying my hands, putting them down and meeting my eyes, my hair. His hands reaching out on instinct and tucking a few behind my ears.I swallowed again then.Feeling... feeling...I didn't know what I was feeling, but it was good.His eyes caught unto my lips, staying there. Our forms not far at all from eachother. Then he reached out. Right at the edge of my lips, his own lips tugged fondly.Wordlessly he touched the edge of my lip, feeling it out and rubbing slightly above the front where my eyes were. My heart throbbed in my chest.Then he said it."You haven't changed one bit, brown eyes. You're still a messy eater."He showed his finger that was at my edge, traces of sauce on it. I blinked. Panicked.Rushed to clean it off but he beat me to it. "Don't worry. It's like this is the first time."It wasn't.He often did this too. Back then. When we were together. Young.Why was I thinking so much of back then??I pulled aw

    ALINA'S POV "What about movies? Watching movies."We both looked at the screen, laughed at the abandoned one on there. "Alright, next, what about novels? You liked reading novels didn't you?"Hmm."All those murder books."“What murder books?” “The ones where somebody died in chapter one and you spent the next three hundred pages accusing everybody then calling me to tell me all about it in between.""What?" I laughed out, he chuckled. "I didn't accuse everybody. Just some. I didn't call you that much either.Still though, I don't think I've read in ages. Held a book. Something that isn't clients projects or academic courses that is.""Model employee," he taunt, I pushed him off a bit, rolling my eyes."Alright, what about puzzles? Jigsaw puzzles.""Nope."“Finally admitted they're pointless?”“That's not it, I assure you. I just haven't done those in a while as well.""Hmm. Swimming." He shot, "What about swimming?"I almost laughed at that one now, "If sitting by the pool counts

    ALINA'S POV "Pick a movie.""You do it, my hands full." I licked the bone of the drumstick in my grasp for effect. Sucking through the bottom to the top. Soaking it in sauce again. His eyes followed by movements. Unimpressed, but saying nothing as he picked up the remote using both arms. His fingers were all equally stained from all the chicken, but who cares."What movie are you choosing?" I voiced out, still busy with my bone. Watching him struggle to switch through channels.Eventually he settled for one. A slight triumphant smile on his face. "This one. This one looks interesting." He dropped the remote. I stared at the screen, searching for the title. Seeing it. "The Missing Hour?" I frowned, "Why are we watching something like this? It's horror.""Oh that's right, you don't like horror movies." He said, looking at me. Smiling."Yeah but why you saying it like it's goodnews though?"He chuckled, wicked. Settling back down, eyes on the screen with more curiosity. Ready to watch

    ALINA'S POV I chewed on my shrimp happily, moving ahead to where he kept them all. Obviously he knew what he started. He couldn't complain now.I'd tasted the sweetness, I couldn't hold back now.That was until a slow melancholic sound drifted to my ears that is. Guitar base. Deep, raspy voice. Moody.My chewing slowed to a halt I heard it, processed the sounds, words. My head turning at the same time, following the sound itself, finding him first. Then the sleek device sitting on top of my kitchen island. "No," I started, disbelief.He didn't even turn around, “Don't.”"No." I repeated, vocal. "Absolutely not.”“Alina.”“Oh my God." I dropped my shrimp, moving. "Five years and you're still listening to this depressed man??"“Don't touch my phone.” I touched it. Grabbed it off the counter even, looking at the screen to be sure I wasn't mistaking. But yeah.It really was him.Malik Grey.I looked at him, "Malik Grey? Malik- I cannot believe this." I chuckled, small. Amused. Heavily

    ALINA'S POV Some cook he was.Chef my ass.I stayed in my little comfort zone, chips stuffed in my mouth as he busied behind me. Chuckles dying out.A couple of minutes.10 minutes. 20 minutes.30.35.40.And I abruptly stood up. Unable to sit still anymore while he stayed in my kitchen. I mean, I wasn't that ungrateful. He got me groceries after all. I could at least...be around the kitchen?Anyways, that's how I went over. Headed right back there again, started at the counter. Watching as he seasoned a bunch of foods, their looks well marinated. His gaze focused. Moves deliberate and calm."Did you take professional classes or something?" I asked, small.He turned to me, "Nope. Between the lounge and making the kind of money I do, you think I found some time for professional cooking, brown eyes?""Well... I'm just asking." I moved close, "It won't be impossible, look at you marinating all that stuff." He put a pot on fire, my eyebrows creasing. "Is that shrimp?"He let the view

    ALINA'S POV "I want you to be happy, Lina." She voiced trailed off, soft. Intentional. "I so want you to be out there, live your best life, do everything and anything... but this isn't going to end well. I can't lie to you, girl. Think about it. Please."She meant it.She really did.And right there, the heat raging inside of me, driving me loco...finally quenched. Rested. Stopped.Then came the mood damp. Cleo's words following me about for the rest of day and even after I went home.There were no more nights for me at Oxygen for the week. Meaning no more sex that is, and with my current mood? I didn't think I was up for it even.I just wanted to sit at home, stuff myself with food, curl up one side and die.Now I felt regrets towards Lana more than ever.Didn't think I'd ever feel this way towards her, not in this lifetime. But I did. Cause I was sleeping with her boyfriend. Her fiancé. Who was once my boyfriend and her ex boyfriend as well.First her, then me, then her again, th
