Chapter One

Every girl has this dream for 'him' to pop the right question after a long, tough and loyal relationship. But my case was different. I was going to propose to him. It's always a thing for 'him' to propose first but I wanted mine to be different. 

He has waited a long time to pop the question and I didn't want to waste anymore time. 

I used all my savings just to make this day special, I just hope he likes it. I also wrote down a speech, memorizes it and made it part of me. 

With all the flowers, ring, cards and I all the 10 years photo memories, I hopped through the elevator and through the hall way to his office.

My excitement was cut short as I opened the door to Michael's office and caught my 'boyfriend' with his assistant making intense love to each other. My jaw dropped, my eyes sunk and my heart flood with tears. 

10 years of relationship and commitments flash through my face and I saw all the gifts I brought drop on the floor. All the words I planned and rehearsed for the 'big day' broke into a million pieces inside me, I could feel them melt. 

Now I see why the receptionist insisted that she call him first before I go into his office but I told her that it was suppose to be a surprise till she let me in. 

They all are aware of what is happening between my so called boyfriend and his secretary and I am the 'fool' here. 

Michael's eye went dead as he tried to zip up his pants and button up his shirt, his assistant, Shelyn did the same. I always knew that she had eyes for my man but I didn't expect him to do the same to her. 

"Trisha, trust me I wanted to tell you but I got so carried away." He said hopping to the already frozen statue of me at the entrance of his office. That's what they all say. I couldn't feel my body and for some reasons my nerves refused to move as he shook me still trying to 'explain things'.

 I finally got aware of myself and surrounding, release myself from Michael's grip and ran out with him running after me. 

Of course I didn't forget the Sapphire ring I bought for the proposal, that ring cost me a lot. 

'I will definitely meet someone who deserves it, not Michael' I told myself.

I ran out in tears, everyone in the office were staring at me like they had a clue that something like this would happen one day. 

I stopped by the receptionist, gave her a dead eye look and continued my run. 

As I got to the parking lot, I bumped into a muscular physique with a pair of black sunshades. This tall masculine physique looked like the perfect fit for my Sapphire ring. 

"Will you marry me." I desperately said to the gorgeous figure that I couldn't take my eyes off at that moment. 

He looked as surprised as I was but I couldn't let go. I know that he must have thought that I am a very crazy lady who needs mental care and not marriage. His silence was very demeaning. 'What will he say then?. How will he think of me?' I asked myself. 

It will be a total blunder on my path and also a blow from Michael to me. 

"Yes." He said staring deep and fiercely into my eyes. I was happy and I knew that when I come to rethink this decision, it will be too late and I will regret it. 

I brought out my Sapphire ring and put it on his palm immediately I saw Michael run out, the he halted all of a sudden. I don't know what had just happened but at least I won, I thought to myself. 

I was about to walk out when I felt a strong and firm grip on me just to look up to this masculine figure. He was hurting me, but I didn't want to express it. "Get in." He ordered, ushering with a stern and fiery look on his face. 

Seeing my absentmindedness, he pointed to the car he was leaning on "Get in." 

My jaw dropped as I looked at the car I was ushered into. I could bet my whole life's savings on this one.

I hesitated at that moment but seeing Michael's eyes twitched in confusion and his chest pound that I could see his breathing pace through his half buttoned shirt, then I knew that I had to pay him back by entering a total stranger's car. 

"Michael don't you have work to get to." The stranger said to Micheal with loud and harsh tone, commanding. 

Micheal recoiled trying to rearrange himself, avoiding direct eye contact " Yes boss." 

My eyes widened in bewilderment as Michael's response rang in my ear again and again. Boss?, I asked myself trying to digest what I heard, probably I misheard. 

Michael's response still ringing in my ear. Boss? It still isn't clear to me. The only person Michael refers to as Boss is the rude, arrogant and inhumane Kaiden Kross. The same one that everyone in Michael's department and every other department in the branch complains about.

It can't be possible, I probably misheard. Maybe that is how they refer to themselves here, I thought. If he is, I am done for.

 I tremble and gulp every saliva as I sat in the back seat still trying to tell myself that he is not Kaiden Kross. 

His muscular hand grip the steering wheel hard and I could see his veins try to pop out from his rolled up sleeves. Sweat tickled my forehead, my heart pounding out of my chest as I watched him squeeze the steering wheel.

He adjusted his front mirror and his eye met with mine, I gulped hard. His eye twisted and I could see a smirk on his face. 

He starts the car.

Where is he taking me to??

Is he abducting me??

I am done for.
