Emma's POV
"Sir? Sir? Is something wrong?" I asked looking at him , his V-shaped lines clearly showing beneath those fine abs.
I was scared , he stood there not even uttering a word. But something was off with him,his black hair was messy and had covered his eyes. He looked like the Grim Reaper, only thing missing was his lethal weapon.
"Sir, are you okay.. you starting to freak me out here, "I said nervously but he stood there, mute! Was he dead? Don't be stupid, of course not! If he's dead he would not have walked all the way here, he wouldn't be standing , unless he's a ghost!
So I decided to do what horrified people do on horror movies, check his eyes. If he's possessed by demons or anything, his eyes maybe black or white, or anything beyond normal for that matter.
It was worth a try , so I reached for part of his hair that covered his eyes.
"Please don't be black.. don't be white.... don't be green. Oh my God!" I stepped away after getting a glimpse of his eyes.
" He's sleepwalking, seriously?!! Amazing, Cain Powers you've once again proven me wrong,"I said smiling at the vulnerable halfnaked man standing outside my door.
I had once read about sleepwalkers and one thing you shouldn't do is wake them up, cause immediately they do they may be of harm to you. God?Why me? Why send him here? You should have sent him to Kendalla's room,she would have benefited from all this.
The first thing that came to my mind, was to walk him back to his room but I was too scared of the dark ,of the elevator , I mean weird things happen at night so being the scaredy cat I am , I decided to let him stay in my room.
I might have some differences with my boss but he was still Xavier's son , and I know he was watching me from up there. I made sure the sleepwalker didn't get the chance to walk out again by tying him to the bed using a scarf.
Before I did all this , I had to record this,as backup just in case he'd snap at me in the morning,"Sir as you can see I'm tying you to my bed, you're currently heavy asleep but you sleepwalked all the way here,,, that's all,"I pressed the button to stop and save the video on my phone.
I really deserved a promotion for all this trouble, this guy weighed a ton even putting his legs on the bed almost drained my energy. I covered his upper part of the body, as I placed some large pillows between us, after that I slept beside him.
Tommorow I'm so fired , for sure!

Cain's POV
"Cole,please stop ....stop!," I heard Miller's voice in my head like a call of help.
Damn!The woman was even in my dreams.I tried to grab the duvet to cover myself, but my hands were numb, stationary maybe cause of the cold.
The beams of light gleamed across the floor of the room , I turned my head only to come face to face with Millers her face so close to me as she slept soundly,her breath fanning my face. Holy crap!!
I slept with Millers?What is wrong with me? Her? But wait noo, yesterday I had purposely ignored Kendalla's texts so that I could get a rest from her yarping.
Shit!Did I mistake Millers for Kendalla?I wasn't drunk so no? Trying to move my body from the bed was hard,my hands were tied to the bed with a scarf.
And I realised my shirt wasn't on?Did she take advantage of me?I knew it,she was a slut,a gold digger , lemme wake her up I'd sue her and she'd rot in prison!!
Kicking her with my feet I tried waking her up and she mumbled in her sleep,"Go away,Ace.....Not now ,it's too early."
Too early??! You fucking tied me to your bed and removed my shirt ,you gold digger!!
"Millers,you better wake up, before I kick your ass to death," I scorned at her but she wouldn't burge ,what if someone found me in here , what would they think? What would the headlines read? Eligible Bachelor's romance with the secretary?!!
"Haaa,nice try,Ace!You almost sound like Grumpy CEO, lemme sleep,"she whined pulling the duvet closer to her chest.
" That's because, it's not Ace, it's me,you foolish woman, God damnit wake up!"
That was enough to wake her,she sprung up looking at me with apologetic eyes but I was not buying it.
"Why the hell,am I tied to your bed shirtless!!" I snapped at her.
"Sir,well...you see...how do I lay this down gently...ummm," she said scratching her head , making me angrier and more confused than ever.
"Speak up.....did we??....You know.." Of course she wasn't dumb like she looked she knew very well what I was asking.
" Eeew,no sir.You'd be the last person I'd do it with.."she said sneeringly.
I'd be the last person she'd do it with it? Trust me the feeling is mutual sweetheart, no amount of shit would make me wanna pin her down on my bed.
"Sir,you were sleepwalking,and you came all the way here,"she said plainly looking at me deep in the eyes with no worries.
Sleepwalking? I've never sleepwalked, my entire life so she was lying.
"Do I look stupid to you?, Tell me the truth or else you'll rot in prison for life,"I said and she calmly woke up reached for her phone on the light stand and brought it so close to my face.
There ,I watched myself walking with her to this bed as she tied me. So I was sleepwalking but how, much less to her room?!Well played , Cain, well played.
"First untie me,my hands are sore, didn't you think they would hurt after tying me all night?" I asked her.
She whispered under her breath," Can't you just say thank you and quite your whining,"
"Excuse me?!!"I asked her angrily.
" Nothing sir,lemme get a pair of scissors," she said as she took some scissors from her suitcase then leaning her chest close to my face she tried cutting on the scarf.
I caught a glimpse of her full breasts carefully cupped in a purple bra beneath her blue night gown . Tit for tat was a fair game , so I wasn't committing an offence anyway,she also stared at mine last night so.....
"There you go,sir" she said distancing herself away from me.
My arms hurt,I needed a shower real bad but also a shirt , what would people think if they saw me coming shirtless from my secretary's room?
"Millers,I need a shirt," I said not even sparing her a glance.
" Um...I think I have one but it's too small," she said rummaging through her bag, when she finally removed a black shirt with the inscription,'I've got ass'
"Seriously, don't you have any other?" I asked noticing the smile she had on.
She found this whole thing funny, didn't she?
"Nope, that's the only shirt I have,"

Emma's POVMomma's got brains! I watched him as he tried on the shirt , his bulging muscles threatening to tear it up.Serves him right! How dare he ? After all the hustle I went through yesterday to get him up to my bed? So when he asked for a shirt ,I remembered a shirt that Ace had given me to make men notice me. Yeah that's right!Finally he was out of my room , phew! This was so weird , he really thought I'd take advantage of him... Eew no way as I said he's the last person I'd do it with , the man probably has STDs or something.After taking a long relaxing shower and putting on something comfortable, I went to the balcony admiring the view. A beautiful sunrise of yet another morning that was dominated by flights of birds that flashed between the trees outside, seemed to bring back sanity and serenity to me."Speaking of sanity ,look who's calling ,dang it!" I exclaimed as
Emma's POVI ran frantically out of the hotel , as the same memory kept coming back . Cole's face grinning wickedly, a machete in hand , nearer and nearer cussing at me.His insults a constant reminder of the wrong decisions I made in my life. His painful insults like a dagger constantly stabbing my frail heart. That's why I ran, because I saw another Cole inform of Cain Powers infront of me.One that would beat me up every night he came home. Lock me up in chains , burn my skin with a curling iron, I was scared to death. My heart nudging me to run further and further even though I knew nothing of my surroundings.People constantly watching me, made me scared, scared that at any time Cole would jump out and hurt me. My heart which thumped so loud wouldn't lemme think for a minute and that's when I looked up only to see a black SUV coming my way at an excruciating speed and I knew I was a goner!
Emma's POVI woke up to the sound of beeping machines around me, my head throbbing threatening to pop out of my body. I opened my eyes narrowing them into slits trying to figure out where I was .At the door were two men, one with a long white coat and the other was the man in the tailored cream suit. I reached for my head which was unusually warm , only to find something tied to my forehead so I tried to remove it."Miss, miss. Stop..," someone said clutching my hand.I focused my attention back to him, his blue eyes glaring at me worryingly, his dark brown hair and that dainty nose completing his gorgeous look."Am I in heaven?" I mumbled my mouth watering from the hot specimen checking up on me.He chuckled then spoke softly, " No miss. You are in the hospital"That's why my head hurt, my left leg raised, encased between something whit
Emma's POVThe nurse drew the curtains allowing beams of light to strike my sleepy face. I turned slightly to the side table near the beeping machines coming face to face with a huge pink teddy bear, a satin bow onto it.Next to it were some bouquet of yellow roses the same ones from yesterday but these ones smelled fresh adding fragrance to the dull room I was admitted in.Ooh Marlon,he's such a sweetheart!I said deep within my thoughts, I am sure they cost him a lot. The nurse dressed all in white, examined my vitals before leaving, probably to get me breakfast because I was seriously starving.As soon as she left, a man walked in clad in a slate-grey suit, pulling a silver tray in front of him. I could have swore that dark brown hair was familiar. After carefully placing the silver tray beside my bed he then faced me.Oh no, what's he doing here?&
Emma's POVHe stood in the door, filling it, and hatred raged and flamed in the back of his eyes. I didn't miss the tension in the room as both men looked at each other as if ready to start a war right there and then.Opening the door wide, Cain gestured to Alexander showing him the way out with his clenched fist. Alexander however, being the happy chap calmly stood up, gave me a quick peck on the cheek, before straightening his suit and walking out.Well this totally went well than expected!Slamming the door shut, my boss strode over to the chair next to my bed. I trembled frightfully, as he sat there his mouth shut but his eyes still eyeing me, anger written all over them.He then stood up looked at the yellow roses and the fluffy pink teddy bear before he began to speak."These are from him, aren't they? Didn't I make it clear that you should stay away fr
Cain's POV"How incompetent are you really? It was one simple thing, I mean even a ten year old could do this right!" I said looking at the nerdy woman standing in front of me.Her dress so odd, her hair black but messy,her hands constantly fidgeting at my remarks, her thin lips shuddering out of fear and her glasses were almost ready to break. What she did next totally caught me off guard.."No...no...no. Don't cry!!" I said grabbing the telephone and calling David..Within minutes, David was in my office escorting the woman out."I want her gone, David! Find me another." I lashed out on him."Sir, she's the fifth one this week. I'm afraid I can't find anyone else. You know better than I, that only Emma Millers is capable of this job," he said his eyebrows raised waiting for me to say something.One month! One month till I fired Millers
Cain's POV"No one, absolutely no one,"she answered to the little boy's voice, her hands on the door ready to slam it shut on my face..This was gonna be harder than expected.She stood there her eyes boring into mine like tiny pieces of sharp glass. This was the first time seeing Millers dressed casually like a normal person does! Her hands in the pockets of her blue faded jeans, her woolen maroon sweater hugging her body perfectly and her hair tied up in a messy bun."Um... Millers, can we...." Before the words escaped from my lips she had already begun to shut me up."Lemme stop you right there!See there's nothing to talk about, you already made it clear that I was FIRED! It's so easy for you to discard people like trash, simply because you have money, isn't it? Never thinking about the families that maybe destroyed by your rash yet irrational decisions, huh? So for the little
Emma's POVI walked down the street as the wind howled my dress from side to side. Today went on well, I mean working as a waitress wasn't as bad as Ace made it to be. For the first time in forever I could say that I was actually happy with my new job. Sure it didn't pay much but my co- waitresses were so supportive and Jada well she was the kindest boss I had met.I took a corner down the dark alley now approaching our neighborhood. Home at last! I reached for our door not missing the familiar Bugatti Veyron parked across the street. My mood suddenly changed, I thought I had made it clear to him the other day.Opening the door and hunging my old black trench coat on the rack, I heard Ace's voice from across the living room."Yeah I'm a master of ninjutsu and karate! Believe me this pistol could blow your brains out in an instant, yeah this baby is a lethal weapon and i won't hesitate to use it."
