DEVIANCE (B*siness Affair)

April stepped into her office with Katherine her friend hot on her trail. It felt like dark clouds hovered over her head, threatening to spill if she so much as blinked. Her office was dark-themed and most time she felt it reflected how her life was, but she was happy and that was what counted right?. She hoped that was enough.She slumped into her seat, behind her desk and kat took hers looking pissed. She acted like she had committed a grave scandal for supposedly ruining the blind date she had set up, never minding the subtle warning given before the said date that it might not end well. "Why did you bother to go on a date with him anyway? If you knew you were going to embarrass him like that, you should have just told me no. You keep making me look bad in the face of all my male friends" she says simmering like she had been humiliated for the rest of her life." First off kat" April got out on a suffering breath, holding her friend's gaze, and praying for the grace to stay cool.

The suite was expensive-looking. April sat on the soft four-poster bed, as she tried her best to focus on work before she prepared for the evening party.She was going to dazzle everyone, and command attention like she always had done. A confident woman was sure to get the deal.April woke up with a start as she heard the knock on her door. She guessed she must have been really tired to just fall asleep while working. At least she had managed to forget the handsome hunk from earlier. Well, maybe she didn't since she was mentioning him again.She walked up to the door as her head cleared. She needed her coffee. She unlocked the door and it was Zerah. He was all dressed up and he looked handsome. She had never seen him in a suit."Wow," she gaped " you're taking the stealing the show tactics a tad too far, don't you think" she joked and he laughed." Well since am your escort, I wouldn't want to look like a farmer next to a queen" he mumbled lowly like he was shy to look her in the face

April finished dressing up and further building up her walls. The madness about Enrique Alvaro had to stop. He was just a man like every other man, she reasoned with herself for the hundredth time.She took a deep breath and parked her hair back holding it up with a hairband. She stood and admired herself in front of the standing mirror."You're successful, beautiful and you're the boss. They thought you couldn't do it and you proved them all wrong" she said as she stared at herself far longer than necessary and suddenly felt sad that her father wasn't around anymore. She loved him so much and he just left her. So did her mother. All because of love. Why? wasn't she worth loving?.She shook her head to clear off the offending thought. She couldn't start her day on such a bad note. She stepped out of her suite and came face to face with Brian who was holding roses. She hated roses."Wow, you look even more beautiful this morning" he complimented her and she gave a polite smile. There

APRIL POVI wake up aching everywhere. I feel a slow burn scaling up my arm. I'm sure it's probably bruised from hitting it on the stair as I fell. It was a miracle I hadn't broken my neck during my tumble.I look around noticing that I'm not in my room. I hope I am not in Brian's room because he might have played hero and saved me. The door unlocks. I close my eyes pretending to still be asleep. Someone walks toward me placing something cold on my cheek. I manage not to flinch.He seems so familiar. His scent wafts into my nose and I know who it belongs to.Enrique Alvaro.He touches my face gently. I feel his fingers trace across my lips. My heart starts to go wild in my chest. I needed to get out because I was feeling all turned on, as his hands continued their exploration. His little touches had a way of making my body combust in flames, making me forget all I hated about love and what it could do to me.Yes, he had me thinking about love which was why I felt hostility toward him

"His company was daunting." That was the first impression she got as she stood at the entrance. It was more massive than it looked on the television or the news. His office was on the very top floor and she had time to simmer down as the elevator ascended.When she came out, the workers, especially the males stared at her as she made her way to the boss's section. The only thing they didn't do was the whistle. They practically undressed her with their eyes.The ladies gave her a curious stare. some watched her with envy as she moved past their desk.They probably thought she was one of Enrique's women. His recent catch perhaps.No way in hell.She got to his office, noticing the lady behind the desk. she moved toward her.She seemed familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen her before. As she saw her target not too far from reach, she let her anger resurface again.Jasmin saw her approach. She appeared angry and she couldn't help but wonder why."Where is Enrique. I want to
