ROMAN’S POV

“Boss, she’s here.”

Finally.

“Where exactly right now?” I asked Jordan, dropping the pen in my hands. Documents abandoned, as my gaze turned to the big screen sitting on the wall by my left. Several footage playing on there. Live.

“The main hall.” Jordan said, stepping closer from the door. Moving to the screens and zooming on a particular section. The feed instantly taking up space and pushing all the others to the edge. Boldly displaying the activities happening out there, right here in my office.

“She’s the one in white.”

White? Of course she would be.

What was Alina Monroe without drawing attention to herself? Always managing to stand out in every crowd no matter what, despite her obvious lack of height. Small, stubborn, impossible to miss. “She hasn’t changed one bit,” I scoffed, “Such an attention seeker, wearing white… Didn’t Vega give her an introduction earlier today?”

“Choice of outfit was somehow excluded.”Jordan said, “And we’re starting to get reports from ot

  • CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex   Chapter 24

    ROMAN'S POV A person never really changes, take it or leave it. If you think I'm wrong, then you'll learn the hard way.Take this annoying character for example. Alina.She'd been trying so hard to be different lately.Trying so hard to change, act different, take on a new behaviour different from who she actually is. She wanted to pretend she was all good and buff, but guess what?Her old self still remains.Her old cunning, deceiving, defensive, cowardly yet explosive self still remained the same! Vibrant and unimpressingly so.She tried to be just calm. Be that soft, feminine woman, elegantly going about her business, but her true self just won't budge. Her lips would be speaking peace, but her eyes would be spitting fire all at the same time! Leaving her so frustrated and ready to bite my head off. Especially tonight.It was quite the amusement to be honest. Her behaviour so far has been very amusing and laughable. But there was nothing amusing about those words she said."Fallin

    ALINA'S POV He grinned. Eyes twirling with playful mischievousness, totally contrasting his overall male aura. And well...job.I didn't see it before, but Mark was a real chatterbox underneath everything. While he smiled happily, I was sitting in utter confusion and displeasure for literally everything at this point. "How do you know how many drinks I've had?" I asked, "This is the official staff bar, Angel. We keep tabs on everyone here, all of which made possible by the collar you're wearing. Your movements, emotions, blood and pressure level is all recorded in real time by that tiny Insignia. So every time you drank, it caught the sizzling of the drink and counted as a glass. Adding up on the pad over there."My mouth fell open. Eyes fixed on the said pad, just right beside the control board thingy. And there it stood;Alina - 19"Oh God," I moaned silently, "I'm going to be sick. You're telling me every time that I've been mad today, this stupid collar thing has been recording

    ALINA'S POV I moved to another floor then. Another hallway. The Eden Suites this time— the romantic fantasy suites. I was previously at the Inferno floor, the “fetish wing.” Reason why everything was so dark and raw. With nowhere to sit!Eden Suites was different. Smelt different, plus I could properly see what was ahead of me. The Control board most importantly. It was the first thing I looked for. Before I ordered the drinks that is.Lots of it."Bring it all out!" I ordered, ready and brewing with hot annoyance. My rage cooking slow. "He wants to blacklist me from a wing? Control what I do?" I grabbed two glasses, "Well good luck with that!"I threw them back immediately. Eyes squeezing shut as I swallowed. The burn. "More!" I still let out, gasping. Breath short as I pushed it all back down. Wanting some more.The bartender gave me a look on the third refill, his stare questioning but he let me be after spotting my automatic pass. The gold insignia. And I gobbled down those shots

    ALINA'S POV The following day came fast. It was a double shift day today.First, I had to come in during the day to Oxygen and then at night. I called it a double shift, because you know... It is double.Anyways, I started off my day as usual. Praise to the heavens, there were no serious corrections from my dear boss the day before, so I got off early after his inspection, then got to rest. Hence, leaving me in better spirits as I resumed the next morning. Today.Although I didn't encounter Roman during the day— my first shift, I sure did at night time. The encounter and everyone after that, completely depleting what was left of my high spirits in the morning.“Do you ever move?” His voice came behind me. Hot, sudden, and so very irritated amidst all the bodies around here; skin, leather, lace, thong, you name it. "Do you ever properly announce yourself?” I said in retort, blinking as I steadied my heartbeat. Trying not to show how startled I was by his voice. I didn't turn around

    ALINA'S POV What was he here for now? To oppress me some more again? Tell me what a clueless creative consultant I am and he wasn't sure I should get paid at all? What else, Roman? I didn't turn. At least not at first. But how could I not acknowledge the presence of my 'dearest boss' who came to pay me a visit down here in the still unfinished Seraph wing? That wouldn't be right. So I turned, slowly, leather ropes boxes scattered at my feet, furry cuffs hanging like promises from half-assembled fuck-swings dangling from the ceiling… The atmosphere dark, cloaked in dust and potential that was yet to emerge. A red-light strip barely alive. And then there he was. Roman Ward. Standing beside the bondage frame like he owned every breath in the room. Jacket off. Sleeves rolled. Veins on his forearm thick like his pride. His dark hair in its usual style, eyes out of sight. Fixed on the St. Andrew’s cross he was examining. His fingers trailing the leather restraints — clinical

  • CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex   Chapter 19

    ALINA'S POV "Are you a thief, Roman?" His chest rose sharply. Green eyes lit up in fury. A dark, dangerous scoff punched out of him as he took one step forward, completely invading every inch of space I had left. “Say that again,” he said, voice low, gravel scraping at the edges. "I dare you to say it," “I said,” I breathed, steady, chin lifted stubbornly. “You steal my ideas. That makes you a thief. Are you a thief, Roman?" His tongue pressed against the inside of his cheek — anger and something hotter flickering behind his eyes. His jaw flexed so hard it could crack marble. “You’re out of your damn mind if you think I need to steal anything from you.” “Really?” I shot back, “Because you repeated my words in the meeting, changed two adjectives, and suddenly it became your idea.” “That was me correcting you.” “No,” I countered, equally firm, “that was you panicking because you didn’t expect me to handle my job so well. That’s the one thing your ego doesn’t know ho
