21. MONIQUE'S POV

"Bravo!" He claps like I'm some joke. "Let's see how you contest that equal right of yours when you're locked outside the room." He says, hurrying to the staircase.

I raise my keys and dangle it in the air with a slight twist of my lips. "And what's this for, again?"

He ignores me and make it way to the room. I follow him with a frown. When we're inside I look at the bed. I want to go back to sleep but I can't sleep in this, and I can't change if he's here either, and even though I do get changed I can't still fall asleep first he may try touching me again.

Gosh, I want to cry so I can't sleep today, but I keep staring at the bed.

"Don't even think of it." He says as if reading my thoughts.

I turn my neck and he's bare chest. What happened to his shirt? Does he leave in the gym? His muscular arms and chest are staring at me. His shirt is laying homeless on fb floor and his fingers are on his belt buckle.

He must have sent to other team members too so I don't need to bother calling Monique.I stroll to the elevator and press the button to go down. Although, I don't know how competent this team I picked for the Moore launch is good with settlement, but Monique's got an excellent touch on finance and again she's the victim how will she act without biase?The elevator does a ding sound as I reach the third floor. My assistant should have stayed in the same hotel with me m, he would have been the one helping with my bag, though I have none but still he should have just been around. I stride to the red Tower conference which is somewhere around the corner that's where we agreed to meet.Back to the finance issue, the most reason I have to be done with it before we even return to Chicago to talk with my settlement e

    27. MONIQUE'S POV I stir in bed, rolling around and slowly opening my eyes. I spread my arms out and I touch something hard, like muscles—a man's body. I tilt my head upwards and lock eyes with Desmond's dark eyes. I look deeply into them, searching the tiniest beat of hatred but I can't find any. "What are we doing?" I whisper against his chin.He bits his lips and his hands on my lower back goes tense. "You made this heartfelt confession and I couldn't risk you having a silent and tearing this place apart so I'm holding you down." His voice drops."Is that what this is?" I can't help it so I run a finger down his chest. "You know whatever happens in New York stays in New York.""I think it's whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."Shut up!" I say with in-between laughter.He nods with a cocky grin on his lips."I think you're gay.""What?""We've slept on this bed for like two days and you haven't made a pass at me."He scoffs. "I thought you hated it when I kissed you?""Of cou

    26. DESMOND'S POV I watch her, shoulders slumped, body trembling seriously. I'm meant to be planning my revenge with her as my pawn, but here I am thinking of comforting her.I want to hold her still she stops shaking, listen to every damn thing she has to say, is this how you act when you hate someone because I freaking hate this woman with everything in me, but I'm still walking towards the end of the room where she's sitting and the uncontrollable murderous intent I felt towards James when she was leaning over his chair is just shocking. The things hate makes you do.I shock myself further by rubbing her shoulders with my hands. What the hell am I doing? I lean in and whisper into her ears. "Everything will be okay." The fuck!She looks at through sad, sad blue eyes. They're not pretty, there's nothing pretty about sad eyes. "They hit Becca, not me. I could never hurt someone." She slurs in-between sobs.What is she talking? Does she have some multiple personality shit? As she kee

    25. MONIQUE'S POV"Are you okay?" James is still holding me.I nod. "I'll be fine." I need my mommy,but she's dead. I need my best friend, but she's busy. I need a damn hug I turn to James and wrap my arms around his neck. I swallow my sobs, I can't cry. I've healed. I fought my bullies. Oh, It's been so long I didn't expect to feel this way. "Hmmm ehhh." Someone clears his throat at the door.I lift my head to find Clark."Show's about to start." His irritation slips through his usual polite demeanor.I break the hug and wipes at my eyes, now staring at James. "Sorry, I soaked your shirt with my tears."He laughs. "It's fine." He holds my hands tightly and we step into the hall, and just like that the shoot begins, and in a blur it's ended. It was just camera flashes, perfect poses and smiles, backstage change with me running about with models for quick fits. It was actually easy since I worked on the pitch and the models knew exactly what to do. We sat in a round table during our

When I reach a few of our team members are already on set, and it's crowded with unfamiliar faces I believe to be workers for the Soul magazine. I spot Desmond and Mr Moore sitting in a corner discussing.I can't spot Becca do I believe she's backstage getting the models ready. I wave James who's sitting with some men behind cameras and tripod stands and lots of other machines I don't know what it's called. Clark and Mr Davids are walking around, stopping at different set of people to put everything in place. Okay, now I need to busy myself by doing something. I decide to check on James side, he's the closet person to a friend at RS Groups. "Monique!" He greets me with a smile before I even reach his table."James!" I try to match his energy. "Has everything been set up? Are you ready for the shoot."He's still smiling. "As ready as a tech manger can be. You've done the brain work. It wouldn't be so hard to follow.""Great."

No, I can't give in to the temptation. I pick up my phone instead and call Rose who seems very excitement to hear from me."Where are you? Has your plan departed already?" She says at the top of her voice. Where she is is really noisy."Why's they so much noise over there?""Oh," she says in a dismissive tone. There's the sound of heels paddling against marble floor. I think she's moving. "It's my friends we were celebrating our highest price art sold here in newyork.""Awww. Congratulations!" I sing joyfully despite the jealousy brewing within me. All the things she's doing without me. I want to switch to video and see what her friends look like to know If I should be really threatened. "I miss you, Rose.""Me too." Her voice goes soft. "Where are you?""I'm in a hotel, we arrived late last night. I'm sorry f
