I stood in front of my mirror as I put on a sharp black pantsuit it felt like putting on an armor.

I pulled my hair back into a tight severe bun not a a single hair was out of place and I couldn’t help but adore my reflection, the woman staring back was cold hard and ready.

I walked down the stairs my heels clicking on the marble. Ares was waiting at the foyer wearing his dark suit.

His eyes swept over me and for a long moment he stared, I saw something flash in his eyes—maybe pride or maybe worry but it was gone quickly before I could point it.

He snapped out of it. "We need to go. The ceremony has begun and your uncle is minutes away from being named CEO."

"Then let's not be late," I said my voice flat.

We got into the car and the ride there was silent with heart felt like it was not beating fast.

I was so ready for this and I couldn’t wait to get it over with.

We arrived at the White Enterprise shortly, Ares helped me out of the car and lead me to the entrance of the bu

    AlyssaI walked pass the array of guards as walking in first my back straight not looking behind me as I could feel him there, Damon following me like a lost puppy.I chose a large comfortable seat by the window and sat down.immediately pulling out my tablet getting to the work I needed to finish before we arrived and it was also because I didn't want to talk or even want to breathe the same air as him.He sat down in the seat right across from me and I fought back the urge to hiss. “The jet is nice,” he said his voice too cheerful. “Very… you.”I did not look up. “Thank you.”A few minutes of silence passed and I could feel him watching me.“I saw the quarterly reports,” he tried again. “White Enterprise is doing very well. You are doing a great job Alyssa you've always been so hard working”I turned a page on my tablet ignoring him still.“Remember the first time we flew together?” he said his voice getting softer. “It was a commercial flight to Hawaii one you were so excited.”I c

    AlyssaMy heart was pounding so loud I was sure he could hear it, the wall felt too cold against my back yet my skin was on fire everywhere he touched me.“I belong to no one” I whispered again but my voice was weak.Ares’s mouth curved into a dangerous smile as his hand moved from the wall to my waist. His fingers pressed into my skin right where the edge of my blouse was sending shiver shot straight through me.“Say it princess ,” he orders his voice a low rumble. “say you're mime.” His thumb began to move tracing a slow small circle on my hip. It was a tiny touch but it felt like a brand. “Say it.”I shook my head trying to clear it. “No.”His other hand came up and his fingers gently brushed a strand of hair from my forehead. Then his fingertips trailed down the side of my face along my jaw and down my neck It was the lightest most tormenting touch that has my breath hitched.“Only I can make you feel like this,” he whispered his lips close to my ear, his breath was warm. “You w

    Alyssa I walked back to my office, showing Damon his place gave me a thrill and it just felt like a job a messy, necessary job.I walked into my office my heels clicking on the floor, my head already thinking about the next problem.Then I stopped my heart did a stupid painful jump in my chestAres.He was standing by the window his back to me with his shoulders so broad, he was wearing a simple black t-shirt. What was he doing here and what did he want now?We hadn't talked much since that day in the gym. Since that day things had become strictly professional between us.I took a deep breath as I pushed my shoulders back as I try to mask away my emotions."What are you doing here?" I asked my voice sounding cool yet calm, like I was asking a stranger for the time.He turned around slowly his His eyes were dark and unreadable as they looked me up and down making my skin feel hot."You are a very stubborn person," he said ignoring my question."I have always been stubborn," I said n

    AlyssaI stared at Damon that was standing at the other end of the room holding a pointer with a big screen was behind him.He was giving a presentation about his new project one which I had assigned him on. It's only been two days since he started working here yet he still hasn't let the fact that I was his boss now, sink in.I let him talk and explain his ideas. He talked for ten minutes, he talked about numbers and profits sounding confident as though he was in charge completely forgetting he was not the boss here, I was.Finally, he finished staring at me with a small smile, a fake one. "So that is the proposal," he said. "I think it is a very strong plan I am open to any questions."I did not smile back, I looked down at the papers in front of me. "Page four," I start making sure to keep my tune cold. "Your projected costs for marketing they are wrong."Damon’s smile faded. "I... I do not think so Ms white, we used the best data.""It is wrong," I said again looking up at hi

    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
