MasukHis eyes were dark wild with an emotions I couldn't name. "You are playing with fire kid," he warned his voice a raw ragged growl. A thrill shot through me. I bit on my lower lip feigning innocence as I stared right into his stormy eyes “What if I want it to burn me?" I whispered leaning forward until my lips were a hair's breadth from his. I could feel his warm breath on my skin fast and uneven. "Come on old man," I taunted softly my hand coming up to rest on his chest. I could feel his heart pounding under my palm.

Lihat lebih banyakAlyssa I haven’t stepped out of the house since the incident at the company the bumiliation from the board meeting was a constant, screaming noise in my mind. I couldn't sit still.I couldn't think. I just paced.I ended up in the kitchen of my penthouse. I needed water. My throat was so dry I grabbed a glass and filled it from the tap. My hands were shaking as I lifted the glass to my lips and started gulping the cold water down trying to drown out the thoughts.The sound of the front door opening and closing made me jump. I choked as water went down the wrong way. I started coughing hard. My eyes watered. I bent over putting the glass down hacking into my hand.I heard his footsteps fast he was coming towards me but I refuse to look at him.A hand landed on my back. It was big and warm. He started to rub slow circles trying to help me breathe.As soon as I felt his touch a new kind of panic shot through me. I straightened up fast, pulling away from him so violently I al
AresArthur White stood by the fireplace, his back to me, his shoulders rigid.“It’s the only way,” I said my voice cutting through the silence. “You heard what happened in the boardroom. Martin used Article 12 and the’ve voted, she’s out. She’s not the CEO anymore.”He didn’t turn around. “And your solution to this is to marry her?”“Yes.”Finally, he turned. His face was a mask of fury. “Have you lost your mind? You want to marry my daughter? As a solution?”“It’s not a real marriage,” I said, forcing the words out. They tasted like ash. “It’s a contract, a business arrangement. We get married. She meets the company’s requirement and gets her position back. Martin loses his power. It’s simple.”“Simple?” Arthur roared, slamming his glass down on the mantle. “You think marrying my daughter is simple? Do you have any idea what you’re asking?”“I know exactly what I’m asking,” I said, my own temper rising. I had to make him see. “I’m asking for the legal right to stand beside her to b
Alyssa It has been four days since we came back from Italy and Four long, quiet days I had not seen Ares. Not once. He was just… gone.Marcus told me yesterday that he came into my office, his face looking serious.“Ares dropped this off for you,” Marcus said as he placed a single envelope on my desk.I looked at it.My heart felt like a stone in my chest I did not need to open it. I knew what it was.“A resignation letter,” I said my voice flat.Marcus nodded. “Yes… he said he is sorry and said it is for the best.”I just pushed the envelope away not wanting to touch it. “Fine…. Hire a new head of security.”That was it. He was gone Just like that, after everything. He just left.I felt numb as I threw myself into work. It was the only thing I could do.This morning I got a message. It was from my uncle Martin. His message said: ‘Emergency board meeting. My office 10 AM.’I was so annoyed and not ready for what ever drama was he putting on this timeWhat stupid thing did he w
AlyssaThe car ride was quiet at first, I just stared out the window watching the beautiful old buildings of Italy blur past. Ares didn't talk either which I’m very thankful for cause right now the last thing I want to do is talk.We soon arrived out our destination and we got out and walked. It wasn't a tour, not really but rather we just walked. We went to a small café and he ordered coffee for us then we sat at a tiny table outside. Ares has been doing most of the talking and I’m very sure he’s beginning to notice too. My lips quivered as I struggle to back bite the words, but it was starting to become too hard as my heart began to escalate.All the confusion, all the fear, it was still there but in that quiet moment, it was overshadowed by one simple terrifying truth.I took a deep breath as I looked at him.He was looking out at the water, his profile strong and serious.“Ares,” I said my voice was soft.He turned to look at me. His dark eyes were calm. “Yes?”I swallow
Alyssa Driven by a need I could no longer suppress I obeyed moving slowly as I lowered myself until I was on my knees before him.It wasn't a gesture of submission but one of surrender—a surrender to the truth I had been fighting for so long. I was his and he was mine. This was where I was meant
Alyssa The thud of my fists against the leather was the only sound in the underground gym. Thump. Thump. Thump.And with every punch I pictured Damon’s face, his smug handsome smile as I remembered how he would look me right in the eye every single day and say, “I love you, Alyssa.” It was a
Alyssa I stayed in that prison for a week I told Marcus no every time he came, I didn’t deserve to be bailed out. I deserved the cold metal bed and the thin blanket ehe bland terrible food. I sat in the corner of that cell and let the feelings drown me. The regret was the worst. I remembered
Alyssa I stood in my huge walk in closet brushing through my pretty dresses and customized clothings before settling for a plain black pair of jeans and a simple black top and I pulled a big gray hoodie over it. I looked at myself in the mirror my face was pale and eyes were still a little red an
