Alyssa

After the call with Sophia I proceed to file out the paperwork and review our companies dealings. Hours passed and I was already getting exhausted, the door opened without a knock and Damon walked in his face so angry.

I had totally forgotten that I had made him wait for too long.

Asshole!

He fucking deserves it.

I adjusted my sitting position leaning back in my chair I looked calm but inside I was ready for a fight.

"You kept me waiting in your reception for four hours ," Damon said his voice tight with anger.

I looked at him my face blank. "Yes, I did. I thought I made it clear about my busy schedule? “

"You will regret making me wait Alyssa," he threatened taking a step closer to my desk.

I raised one eyebrow. "Will I? You seem to forget where you are Damon. This is my office, In my company. You do not tell me what I will regret I am the boss here. Not you."

He slammed his hands on my desk. "You can’t just stop our business deal… it’ll cause me my company!"

    Alyssa I sat behind my desk as I ran through the papers in front of me, I had so much work to do before my trip to Italy for a business conference.A knock on my office door drew my attention."Come in," I said my voice sounding calm yet tired.The door opened and Marcus walked in first giving me a small nod then behind him was Damon.He looked different. His suit was not as nice as it used to be. He looked a little tired and frustrated like he was going through so much."Alyssa," Damon said. "Thank you for this chance. I really think—"I held up my hand and he stopped talking."Sit down Mr Johnson," I said not smiling.He looked at the two chairs in front of my desk then he sat down in one while Marcus sat in the other."This is not a social call," I began. "This is a business arrangement. You owe me money a lot of money. You will work here to pay it back.""I understand," Damon said. "And I want to thank you—"I held up my hand again. "You do not talk when I am talking. Do you u

    AlyssaMy muscles were burning as I pushed the heavy weight again and again none stop liking the pain. It made me forget other things, the stress from work, Damon and Ares. I finished my last set and sat up on the machine breathing hard as sweat dripped down my face.I looked around the gym it was empty I've been coming here for a week always at this time I told myself it was for a good workout but a small stupid part of me hoped to see Ares.He was usually at the gym by 2am... The usual training routine but he no longer showed since the incident. He was avoiding m me at all costs It was so obvious. It made me so angry and desperate.I got up and walked to the water cooler grabbing a bottle of cold water I opened it and started drinking. I gulped it down fast the cold water felt good on my throat and just then the gym door opened and Ares walked in.He was wearing a tight black t-shirt and gym shorts looking so dominating and devishly handsome like always, his eyes roamed around

    AlyssaI stared out the window of my tall office building letting my thoughts run haywire with a lot that has been happening these days.A soft knock on the door broke my quiet moment, fighting back a hiss I mumble a "Come in," not turning around.I heard the door open and close knowing very well it had to be Marcus. "Alyssa," Marcus calls out his tune careful. I didn't like that tone. It usually meant bad news.What now?I finally turned to face him he was standing in front of my big desk holding a file looking nervous."What is it Marcus?" I asked as I walked over and sat in my large leather chair. "Just tell me what now is the problem" He took a deep breath. "It's about Damon's company," he said. "I spoke with them this morning.""And?" I asked my voice sharp. "Do they have my money?"Marcus shifted his weight. "They... they can't pay the debt not right now. They are asking for more time. They are proposing we give them another chance."Another chance.Those two words were like a

    Ares I walked into her home office, finding her lost in thoughts as she stared deeply at the paperwork’s informer of here. It’s been three days since th incident and she hasn’t been able to wrap herself around what had happened, it’s like the adrenaline had faded leaving behind a pale shaken version of Alyssa White. She snapped out of her train of thoughts as her sharp intelligent eyes went straight to my bandage on my arm. She was still worried about me I could see a flicker of something like worry, fear crossed her face before it was replaced by a careful neutral mask. “How’s your arm?,” she asked her tune was quiet. “It’s better,” I replied sounding. “I told you it’s just a graze. It’s been handled.” I stayed by the door refusing to move closer. The space between us felt like a mile-wide canyon. I could still feel the ghost of her body against mine when I pulled her to my arms, her innocent scent. Fuck! I’ve never wanted something so bad yet I couldn’t have it. “The

The gun. The man. The loud bang. Ares grunting in pain. The blood on his white shirt.Where was he?He did not come to my room, he did not call me or drop a message that he was fine.Nothing.I was so worried. Was his arm okay? Was the bullet still in there?
