Lost in Thy Arms STUBBORN
Chapter 15 STUBBORN She knew that face. It was the man from the restaurant that tried to harass her. The man from May's Hearth. The one who had grabbed her arm. The one who had looked at her like she was something to be bought. Jeremy's eyes swept over Maria's body, and a slow, predatory smile spread across his face. Something dark flashed in his eyes—recognition. And satisfaction. "Well, well," he drawled, leaning back in his chair. "Isn't this a pleasant surprise." Maria's blood ran cold. She forced her face into neutrality, but her grip on the files tightened until her knuckles went white. Francis glanced between them, his expression unreadable. He didn't ask if they knew each other. He didn't need to. “To what do I owe this visit, Mr. Moretti?“ Francis inquired, taking off his blazer and hanging it. “The contract your company proposed,“ Jeremy said, finally dragging his eyes away from Maria. "My grandfather sent me to discuss the terms. He's... concerned." “Concerned
Lost in Thy Arms DEAL
Chapter 14DEALShe remained where she was, unable to lift her legs and leave the office. His angry eyes stared intensely at her own fearful eyes.“It seems you love pain, and I am very willing to give it to you.“She immediately fled from his office and loudly locked the door behind her. She entered her office and leaned on the door, her chest moving up and down as she gasped for breath.This man is really confusing her. Now she doesn't know if it's still the rule issue or not knocking on the door. She really needed to explain herself so he didn't get the wrong impression of her being disobedient. She didn't really care about the 20% deduction.She hated it when she didn't clear herself from any accusation or conflict.She summoned the courage to go again. She breathed in and out to stabilize her breathing.She stood in front of his door. Her mouth moved as she said a short prayer in her heart. She knocked on the door and braced herself for what was to come.“Come in,” the voice said
Lost in Thy Arms CUP OF COFFEE
Chapter 13CUP OF COFFEE ★AUNT MAY'S APARTMENT ★~9pm~Maria pushed the door open with the little strength left in her. She moved slowly to the sitting room and collapsed on the nearest chair. She was beyond tired. Aunt May came out of the kitchen with a glass of water. She had been waiting for Maria. Feeling thirsty, she went to get water. She walked close to Maria, when she saw how tired she was. She gave her the water instead and she drank it all.“Thanks Aunt.““What's happened? Why are you coming back by this hour? Is it 9 to 5 any longer? No matter how busy today was you should have clock out latest 6 or 6:30.““I made a very stupid mistake today Aunt.“ She said in a quiet voice. She reached out to her bag and brought out her own copy of the contract she signed and gave it to her. Aunt May went through it and when she saw the outrageous clauses of working under pressure, extra office hours and sleeping at the office sometimes. Yes they are monetary benefits but damn those benef

Chapter 12THE RULES“Prison sentence is not the word I was expecting, but I will take it.““Sir, you are insane.““Have I done anything to prove otherwise?“ He laughed and quickly shifted to a serious mode. “Having known this you can go and drop your resignation letter with a 2 million cheque. Now GET OUT.“She immediately flinched at the cold words but she immediately stood up, her hands clasped.“Please you can't do this to me.““There are options, miss Brooks, you either stay or pay. So what is going to be I would love to know, little Miss Moral.“She stood for a while as if in deep thought then she straightened her skirt and turned and left just like that. Francis knew she couldn't resign she didn't have a choice.____Maria rushed into her office and leaned on the door. She was almost at the brink of tears but she kept them in.“I am not going to cry for that man. I will be strong. I will teach him a lesson before I leave here in six months' time.“ She assured herself. She walke

Lost in Thy Arms MY ASSISTANT
Chapter 10MY ASSISTANTStill at the hospital entrance, the young lady was still hugging Francis waiting for him to reciprocate but he didn't.“Aren't you tired already, Sophia?” He said.Sophia pulled away from him with a frown. She noticed the warmth in his eyes, not the usual coldness, but still he should have hugged her back.“I really missed you but I guess you didn't, since you didn't hug back.” She said crossing her hands over her chest.“Well I am not even surprised. You inherited this character from mom. You make it sound like one of us left the country.”“Don't even start, brother. Yes we live in the same country, the same region at that, but when last did I set my eyes on you? 6 solid months! Half fucking year.”“Language, young lady.”“Don't tell me that.
