Charles’ POV

William Bush was one of the richest trillionaires. And he was at BakerTech, impressed by how well we were doing since we took the crown from Kane. I watched as he lifted the wine glass I had poured some expensive wine into.

“To Valis,” he said. “And more deals. And to Baker Tech taking the lead this quarter.”

I raised my glass. “And all year long.”

Everyone knew Bush had a beef with Mr. Kane and seeing him in my office only meant he was ready to join hands with me and bring Kane Tech to its crumbles.

Receiving his email last night had been everything I needed at the moment. Everything was aligning.

“Your presenter should be here soon, right?” he asked.

I nodded, confident. “She’s good. Better than the best. I trust you’ll be pleased with her delivery…just as Valis was pleased with mine.”

Just then, we heard footsteps coming towards the office, and she appeared, perfectly dressed in a black fitted gown that clung to her curves, leaving me thinking of the last time we w

  • In love with my boss   Blissfully oblivious

    Patra's POVI watched her, blissfully oblivious, Rosa Castillo, my ‘friend’.She was so naive. Always have been. Presently, her eyes sparkled as she recounted the weekend like it was some fairytale that came to life. She didn’t know the truth —or maybe, it was my smile that always made her think she could trust me. The ex that broke my heart?It was effing Charles Baker. Not that we dated, really. But I liked him. Then I started calling him Charly. I fabricated ways fot us to meet in college, and he fell for her instead. And now, she had taken another man I liked. Alex Kane. And the irony? She was spilling her happiness directly into my hands, like she was inviting me to rejoice with her, while all I felt was burning fury. I pretended to smile, to listen, like I have done all these years. She was so lost in herself, always, that she didn’t see my hands clenched under the desk as she described Alex’s grand gestures. The forever clause…it should have been mine and it made bile rise

  • In love with my boss   It's a bar, not a puppy

    Charles’ POVThe cool air slapped me in the face when I stepped outside. Somehow, it was supposed to make me return to reality but reality stung worse than the alcohol burning my system.A small bar was tucked between two old buildings, its neon sign the only thing that indicated its presence.Morgan’s bar. When I pushed the door open, it smelled exactly the same and it made my chest tighten painfully. I slid into the booth at the far corner. It was the one I always took.The one we always took.A drink was placed in front of me by the bartender even before I asked. “You haven’t been here in a while, sir,” he said. “Yes,” I muttered. “I know.”“I see you on the TV now,” he continued, smiling proudly. “The bottle’s on the house.”I nodded.“And the lady…? The one you always come with.”I stared at the bottle, refusing to respond. “I’m sorry, sir,” he apologized, realizing it was a sensitive topic. He hurried off but didn’t take away the memories he had left open…the ones that hurt

  • In love with my boss   Perfect uselessness

    Charles’ POVI slammed the door behind me with a force that threatened to collapse the entire building. I didn’t care if the whole damn building came down. My head was pounding and my jaws were clenched so tightly that it felt I would never be able to unclench them again. All I could hear in my head was Patra’s stutter and Bush’s anger, the sound of his shoes walking out of Baker Tech. I had been so hopeful and she had ruined everything under flimsy excuses.I stepped further into the penthouse, craving solitude. A stupid vase was in my way and I kicked it across the room. It shattered against the marble with a sound that made me want to break more things.Then another sound erupted from the room.“Charles…babe?”Nancy.The moment I saw her standing there in her perfect hair, perfect makeup, and perfect uselessness, all I felt was rage. “What?!” I snapped, irritated by her presence. I had spent a fortune buying her a car and all she did was sit at home all day. And now, I was about t

  • In love with my boss   Wanting forever

    Alex’s POVThe sunlight pierced through the blinds heralding the breaking of dawn. But I didn’t move. Not yet. I was still wrapped in the remnants of last night with Rosa pressed against my skin, the softness of her skin keeping me still in bed. And now, I knew I wanted more than three years. I wanted more than the contract and in ways that paper hadn’t captured. Forever.I wanted forever with Rosa.I rolled over and stared at her glowing form under the morning light while she slept on. I traced my fingers along her hair and thought about how she deserved the world and I was going to give it to her in all the ways I could.An idea popped into my head as my eyes fell on her lips. A grand gesture. Something she would never forget, and would show her that, without a doubt, I was not joking about what I said last night. I sat up and set the plans in motion in my head. I was going to create a new contract, one that was carved from the beating of my heart, the stroke of every word, a p

  • In love with my boss   Please, touch me

    Rosa’s POVThe blindfold stayed on. I didn’t know how long it had been —minutes, hours, a lifetime? The only thing I knew was, every second of his lips against my body, stretched into something endless. My world was darkness and Alex.I was on my back, my wrists gently pinned above my head with one of his hands, while the other traced lazy, maddening circles on the insides of my thigh. It was never high enough. Never where I wanted him to touch, where the ache was making me squirm. “Rosa,” he spoke against my throat. “Listen to me.”I couldn’t ignore him if I tried. Not when my entire body was tuned to the frequency of his voice. “You’re going to stay perfectly still,” he said, lips brushing my ear. “And you’re going to ask for every single thing you want. Out loud, darling. No hiding. Can you do that?”I nodded. Then I remembered he wanted me speaking. “Yes.”I felt the bed shift as he moved lower, his breath now against the lace between my thighs. I arched without control. He pr
