Mia woke up the next day when the sun was already high up in the sky. She sat up and looked at her side but Adrian was not there beside her. He must have gone to work. She could remember everything that happened last night which was something new to her. She would normally forget what she did the night before anytime she drank too much. She remembered that she drank too much and danced with a stranger. She must have been stupid to collect that drink from a man she did not know. She got drugged and could not control herself so she jumped on Adrian and practically seduced him into having sex with her. She could still remember him trying to calm her down but whatever that damned man gave to her was so strong. She was the one that made the first moved but he took over and dominated her body. After she fell asleep in the bathing tub, he must have carried her out and dried her body. She could not feel the pounding headache which was a common thing for her the morning aft
The feeling she was getting from being in the pool and watching him put on his clothes in hurried jerks was not a pleasant one at all. She thought he looked angry; at her? His teeth was gritted and he had a stoic expression on his face like he was fighting an internal battle He did not buckle his belt. He just wore his suit trousers and the undershirt, picked up his jacket and swung it over his shoulders before leaving. He did all this without looking at her, not even once She felt cold as she stared at him. She knew that feeling of rejection and abandonment so well and she should be used to it by now. After all, her family and everyone in her life had left her behind but it was not a feeling anyone could get used to She shivered as she swam to the other side of the pool and got out. She picked up her clothes and without even putting them on, she walked back to her room. Because she has moved around and familiarize herself with the mansion, she did not need any help loca
Mia hesitated when she saw that she would be riding in the same car with Adrian but she got in anyways. She sat very close to the door. As far away from him as possible though it was hard to be really far since it was a small car and not a limousine. She placed all her attention and focus on checking out everything and every person that she saw on the way as the car drove. Her mind was not on what she was looking at, it was far away. Would he take her to his illegal establishment or the illegal one? If he took her to the legal one she wondered at the type of work he would give to her. She never completed her high school neither did she go to the university so she had no knowledge about business or working in a company. It wasn't any of her business anyways. He was the one that wanted her to work so if she did the wrong thing then it will be on him and not her. She sighed and got down without waiting for anyone to open the car door for her when the car came to a stop i
Adrian's eyes were on her. Has he been watching her all this while? Anger bubbled up in the pit of her stomach "What? Are you bored?". Adrian asked with twinkling blue eyes. And there he goes again asking her a question whose answer was obvious, "Of course I am bored. I have been sitting here for hours doing nothing of course I am bored". Mia's voice was sharp and her eyes were glaring at him He was unfazed by her glare. He relaxed back on his chair, his eyes still on her, "so you want to work, huh?". Was this man stupid or something? Of course, she was here to work and not play. She needed to work so that she could pay him back and be set free "Yes, because that's the only way I can pay you back and gain back my freedom" " You really want to leave huh?" Was that a tinge of sadness she detected from his voice or was her ears just playing tricks on her? Well whatever. It was none of her goddamn business. "I need to leave". He turned away from her and fo
Adrian's wolf rose to the surface, filled with rage at the sight of another man grabbing their mate's hand, "Get your filthy hands off her". Adrian growled in a murderous voice before he could control himself Everyone was already on their feet and packing their laptops and paper strewn on the table during the meeting but their eyes were on Mia. They were waiting to see her response. Everyone in the business world already knows about how much of a womanizer Mr JK was. He would pursue anything in skirt and most women accepted his advances because he was rich while the rest found ways to avoid him because he was rich and powerful and also a vengeful man. He could do anything when offended. Everyone jumped in shock at the tone of Adrian's voice. This was not the first time JK was making any move on female workers in his presence but this was the first time Adrian was saying anything about it and he looked so angry too. He mostly and always ignores JK even when he makes his mov
Marina was on her way somewhere when Mia saw her and she suspected that Marina was also going to have lunch. She stopped her "Marina, can you show me where to have lunch? Mr Osiander asked me to meet with you". Mia winced at her own words. Now that she thought about it, she had no money to buy herself lunch so how was she going to eat? She was about to tell Marina not to worry but Marina's voice came out before hers "Alright I will show you, the staff cafeteria is on the ground floor" Marina turned and began walking in the direction of an elevator. Staff's cafeteria? Surely it must be free food for Adrian to have told her to ask Marina for food. She went with Marina and noticed that the elevator they were using was not the same one she, Adrian and Nicole used this morning. This one was not as posh as that one She stood beside Marina as her eyes were moving around and checking out the elevator. When she stared at the transparent door, she could see Marina glaring at her but when
Adrian glanced up from the document he was working on to see that Mia had fallen asleep on the couch. He knew that it was already very late and the building was now empty as other staff's closes around five except when he made them work overtime. He has always been a workaholic because it was his escape from reality and his boring life but lately he has been returning home because of her so he had many documents to work on. He was only able to work till this time today because she was with him. He could smell her scent and hear the sound of her breathing and it was soothing and calming for both he and his wolf. He got up and went into the second room in his office that held a mini bedroom where he usually slept anytime he worked late and was too tired to go home. It was something that always happened in the past when he had no one to return to but now he has her He returned with a blanket in his arms and made her lay on the couch in a comfortable position before throwing the b
Amelia peered at her from over the table "are you sure that you are not in a relationship with Mr Osiander? That man literally overworks everyone except for you, apparently" Mia chewed the food in her mouth with a tiny smile. Amelia had been trying to force her to confess that she was in a relationship with Adrian but she could not confess to something that is not true, right? so she just shook her head at Amelia. Amelia heaved a deep sigh, "You are the only one who doesn't want to get in a relationship with Mr Osiander. Many girls would kill to be in his office all day and attend meetings with him" " I am not complaining about my job. We are strictly in a boss and employees relationship". Were they really? The thought elicited a frown from her face He has never made any moves on her recently and everything has been going so well for them. The only reason why they had had sex was because she initiated it. The first time was to steal from him and the second time was bec
