Sally's PovSally Tracy Granger woke up feeling tired , she had worked all night long on the document her boss had asked her to turn in by 10 am this morning. The man was insufferable , she hated his guts and everything about him .He reminded her of that selfish bastard Micheal, her ex boyfriend who nearly ruined her life by selling her off to the mafia in exchange for his drug debt . She'd have never been able to escape if not for her struggling father that sold all he had and paid off the debt .She owed her old man her life and he is the reason she tries so hard at her job because the pay is high , Sally is now able to pay for a house for him and a full time home nurse , she hadn't shared this with even Alicia, her best friend in the whole world . Her father was diagnosed with stage two cancer just last month . She knew Alicia would empty her account to see her father cancer free but she wanted to sort this out herself .Sally Tracy quickly took a shower , she needed to catch
Alicia's PovWork started off for Alicia today as usual , it was currently 10 am and she was counting minutes and seconds to her lunch break. She had so much to talk to Sally about, especially the Paris trip by the weekend although she hadn't accepted it but it was so important to appear not too eager to be billionaires in her journal .The phone in her office rang and she picked it up already knowing who was on the other end of the line .“ sir ?”, “ come immediately to my office. I need you to get a document from the legal department for me and make adjustments ”.“ Yes sir” she stood up to go to his office. I really hope I can finish up on time and maybe he'll let me have an early lunch . Reaching his office before she could even knock the door opened automatically He probably saw me coming down the hallway through the camera . She thought to herself , she stepped into the office and if not that the automatic door had closed she would have turned right back .Seated just across f
Alexander watched Alicia run to her office through the camera he clenched his fists tightly in anger . Who the exactly is this Tristan that he has two ladies in such a position, what do they even see in him ? and why is Emily acting like such a b*tch , why am I even getting so worked up about this , do I have feelings for the girl ?.Emily decided to break the awkward silence in the office “ thank you so much Xander ( which she fondly called him short for Alexander) , I know you only gave Tristan a second chance because of me ”.Alexander cleared his voice slightly so it won't sound so mean and irritated “ That's enough , so long as you deliver .And this is the very last time , do not disappoint me ”“ I won't sir , you won't regret giving me another chance ” . Alexander eyed him wearily from Emily's reaction to seeing Alicia here he was a 100 percent sure Emily wasn't aware Alicia was the reason he got distracted in the first place . The man is a snake ! , Call it petty but Alexand
An hour later , it is time for Alicia and Sally to return back to work . “ So , I'll need to head back. I don't want my boss to think I'm missing or something”.They laughed lightly “ it's fine , I need to head back too. I should have driven here so I could give you a ride in my new baby ”. Sally stood up grabbing her purse “ You owe me big time , give me a hug, my cab is outside already ”.They embraced briefly “ I'll text you girl ” , They went out Alicia waved her goodbye and let out a deep sigh. It was time to return back to her office and face her boss, hopefully his mind hadn't already been poisoned against her . In a few minutes she was at the office complex she entered , taking the elevator to the top floor . Her phone rang , she checked who was calling and answered. “ Dimitri , I haven't heard from you in a minute . “ You know you could have called me too though , I apologize I was caught up with work .”“ Oh I'm sorry , I just figured you might need space ”. He chuckled sa
Alicia used her time off from work early to take a stroll in the park . It used to be her favorite thing to do even as a little girl. It helped her clear her head and put things in perspective.She bought some bread and fed the ducks by the pond giggling as they rushed , competing with each other to grab the bread . After feeding them she sat down on the bench contemplating the turn out of the events today What confused her was Alexander's silence on what had taken place in his office but she pushed it to the far back end of her mind . For some odd reason for the past two days she felt someone was watching her , it gave her a sick chill but even now she felt eyes boring into her back.She turned back looking quickly side to side but saw no one . Maybe I'm just being paranoid , it could be the paparazzi trying to get new photos and articles .But the feeling of nearing danger wouldn't still ebb away . Feeling uncomfortable she picked up her purse and walked quickly to her car , drivi
Dylan drove to the east side of town which was where most rich billionaires had mansions and estates . Alicia had never been to this part of the city , the security here was crazy tight , the streets were clean and impeccable.He turned into a street which from the sign was called Valentino he passed several powerfully built mansions that screamed wealth and old money. She assumed he'd stop at one of them but he continued down the street almost getting to the end . What she could describe as a beautiful gated estate characterization with well taken care of trees and exquisite lawns and mini springs . He checked in with the security at the gate .“ Welcome ... welcome.. sir ” the man at the gate said , he seemed quite tense to Dylan . “ Open the gates ” . The man nodded and pressed the button , the high grand gates opened immediately. They drove down the driveway and Alicia was in absolute awe of the mansion that came in view .The grand mansion’s intricate architecture exuded an air
“ I actually thought you'd know this but I understand if it's coming as a shock ” Dylan let go of her and punched the wall so hard his fist went through it .It startled Alicia “ Dylan !, You'll hurt yourself ” she ran to him , observing his hand . He snatched it free, holding her by the waist .“ I knew it would come to this , the truth is I fell for you the moment I laid eyes on you . I can't ask you to be with me anymore because today my father let me know I'll be taking over from him by the end of the moment . By next weekend I'll become the Lord of the Italian Mafia ”His eyes looked so sad , Alicia didn't know she started crying till he used his thumb to catch a stray tear.“ Don't cry please, you'll make me feel way worse . I can't ask you to become a part of my world it's very cruel and dangerous except you're up to it then I'll be more than elated to have you by my side”Alicia wanted to speak but a hard knot had formed itself in her throat and she couldn't speak past it . “
Sally felt very tense and self aware . Kalum poured wine into two wine glasses, and he handed her one . She took and drank it in one go. I really need the false confidence alcohol gives , good thing I didn't eat heavy the effect should kick in pretty soon .Kalum laughed, “I have never seen a pretty woman drink a glass of wine in one go .” Sally felt embarrassed but shook it off “ you asked me to come and I'm here let's just get this over with ``.Kalum dropped the wine glass he held and walked to her , she backed away with each step he took till her leg hit the bed frame . He caught her in his left arm before she fell on the bed. “ You seem eager , but I intend to make this last . Everything in my body craves you badly and I'm glad you came to me willingly today . I know I gave you an ultimatum but you and I know you could have refused” . It's actually true , I just don't want to ask Alicia for help and deep down I want the experience of being loved by Kalum . I've always wanted t
