The office was so beautiful, There were a black executive desk and leather upholstered chairs and light brown wood wall cladding, golden accents, and a crystal chandelier centering the meeting table all complementing each other creating an elegant-looking office.
At the right of the office were two ceiling windows with light brown color curtains on either side of the window. On the other side, is the table with a bookshelf filled with many books.
I walked inside my office admiring each and every corner of it, with my mouth wide open.
"Did you like it, Miss Green?" Asked Lillian.
"Yes, I love it," I said honestly.
I walked to my desk and put my bag on it. My things were brought here and were placed on the desk. Everything was set up neatly for me to use.
"I'll let you do your work, Miss Green," she said, for which, I turned around and nodded at her.
"Come, Miss Miller, I'll show your office," she said to Lydia and walked her out of my office.
I traced my fingers against my desk and inhaled the smell of a newly prepared office while closing my eyes. I was excited to work here with Mr.Villin. I jumped and squealed like a kid.

It took twenty minutes for me to set things around. After that, I settled on my chair and stretched my body. I started the computer and set it up with my emails and other things. I started to do my work and was checking all my emails to see whether I got any important emails. It was actually Lydia's work to do, but I chose to check them out myself because I know she might be busy setting up her things in her new office.
There were no new emails at the moment So I decided to check Mr. Mathew's business profiles and social media. I checked his I*******m and F******k profiles. I was disappointed to see that his profile was not maintained properly, and the posts weren't put in accordingly. I clicked the button under my desk and asked Lillian to come over to my office through the telecom.
In just seconds she was in my office.
"Miss Green, Did you need something?"
"Yes, Lillian. Can you tell me who was Mr. Villin's previous Publicist?"
"Yes, Miss Green. Mr. Harrison was Mr.Villin's past publicist," she said.
"Is there any problem Miss Green?" She asked looking at me with concern when I glanced at the computer screen.
I sighed as I put my hands on the desk.
"I just checked Mr. Villin's social media profiles and it bothered me when I saw his profiles weren't arranged properly. All the posts and other things weren't kept professionally."
"Miss Green this was the reason why Mr. Harrison was actually fired. Mr. Villin didn't like his work, and he believes you are perfect for the role."
I smiled when she said this. It actually made me proud that people like him are loving my work.
"Thank you, Lillian," I said as I smiled at her, she nodded her head while saying.
"Please let me know if you need anything."
As she walked out of my office, I started rearranging his public profiles and all.
I deleted a few random photos and uploaded photos of him doing meetings and interviews. I also uploaded some of his photos in serious business attire and his products.
*****
I checked all his photos and smiled when everything was set perfectly and also checked out business mails of Mathew to see whether he got any emails requesting for any kind of interview. I noted down a few famous magazines requesting Mr. Villin for interviews. I made sure to check their backgrounds and asked Lillian to fix the meetings according to his schedule.
I was actually waiting for Mathew to approve it so that I could send them a confirmation mail.
*****
I was checking a few popular business magazines which are perfect for Mr.Villin to give interviews and coverage for his business. Suddenly my phone started ringing, I grabbed it and answered it without checking the caller name.
"Hello,"
"Hello, Is this Miss Clarissa Green?" A male voice came out in a thick British accent.
"Yes,"
"Mr. Mathew Villin is in the police station, he's been arrested and he's asking for you."
"What!" I said, shocked to hear that Mathew is arrested.
After asking for the location, I hung up the call and walked outside of my office in a hurry. While I'm walking towards the elevator Lillian came into my way telling me about the situation Mathew is in.
"Did they tell you what actually happened?" I asked her while walking over towards the elevator.
"Yes, they said a man had accused Mr.Villin of killing his family," Lillian answered.
"What?!" I exclaimed,
"Yes, They said he had proof with him," she said with full of worry.
"Oh god! I had to pull him out of this before this goes out to the media," I said hurriedly while walking towards the elevator.
"Clarissa wait" I turned around to see Lydia walking to me.
"I'll come with you," She said, I nodded at her and turned to Lillian, "You stay here and call Mathew's Lawyer, inform them everything."
I said to her, "Okay Miss Green" She nodded,
"And...Make sure no one knows about this," I said to her, for which she nodded her head.
Lydia and I walked to the parking lot and got into my car. While I was driving us to the police station, my mind was thinking of all the possible ways to get him out without the media noticing this and making this big.
"I hope his lawyer pulls him out of this as soon as possible," I thought to myself.
After reaching the police station, I parked my car outside and Walked inside the police station. Lydia was walking behind me quietly. Inside the police station, I see Mathew inside the jail, but the jail was not like any other jails. It has a sofa and T.v with a fan, it's a kind luxurious jail. He was smoking a cigar while checking out the time in his watch. I walked over to him, he noticed me and walked towards me.
"Mr. Mathew, I told Lillian to call your lawyer, he'll come here in any moment," I said, he just smiled at me and said, "Don't worry about this just make sure no one knows about this," He said, I nodded my head and walked back to the chairs placed in the corner. I stood there, Thinking about the excuses for covering this matter
I was pacing back and forth while Lydia was watching me silently.
If he stays long here, the media will know about the situation somehow, And if they found out they'll make a big fuss about the rumor. No...No...This can't happen, I have to pull him out of the jail as soon as possible... where is this stupid Fucking Lawyer!
When I turned around my jaw dropped as I take in the sight of the man entering into the police station.
Tall, All black suit, Jet black hair with a pair of soul-piercing ocean blue eyes entered my vision. Sculpted face like god had specially designed it, Incredibly well-defined jaw, That pink kissable pair of lips making a thin line like he was uncomfortable with everything around him, Straight nose with high cheekbones. He was so Tall and from where I am, I can see the way his suit perfectly fits against his torso and hugging every inch of his body perfectly it's clear that he does work out very much.
The way he was walking towards the cop and carrying himself, one can tell he exudes power and dominance, making everyone drop their weapons and surrender to him. The sense of righteousness in his eyes was... wait who is this guy? Why am I thinking about him like this?
I shook my head to get out of the trance. I glanced at Lydia to see her watching him with her mouth wide open. I turned to look at him, and he was sitting on the chair with his back straight and his hands were on the desk. The way he was talking to the officer was so intimidating. I stood still trying to listen to what they were talking about, but from the place I was standing, it's difficult.
I was watching the way his jaw moves whenever he talks, it's so desirable to watch. The way he clenching his jaw whenever the officer says something he doesn't like. The way his nerves popping out of his hands whenever he fists, the anger and impatience were clearly visible in his body language.
I was watching his every move it was like watching my favorite movie. I couldn't take my eyes off him. After what felt like an eternity the officer nodded his head and stood up from his chair, this made me snap back to reality. I quickly glanced at Mr. Mathew and walked over.
Mr.Sexy walked over and I can feel him standing behind me. I can feel the heat radiating from his body. The officer opened the door, and Mathew walked outside the jail. He looked at Mr. Sexy and smiled at him proudly.
He turned to me, he opened his mouth to say something but Mr. Sexy cut him off, "We should leave" he said in a deep voice.
Mathew nodded to him and walked past me to him, I turned around and saw Mathew walking out with him. He was surprisingly taller than Mathew. I Lydia drove back to the building behind Mathew's Car.
While I closed my eyes, everything Romulus said rushed to my mind, Rage filled my body when I recalled what Juliette did to Apollo, I have to confront her for it. She has no right to do those things to him and how dare she say those nasty words to my Apollo! By just looking at him, women wet their panties and they do everything to have him. He has every single thing that any woman craves for. I felt him kiss my shoulder and push my hair back, “Please stop crying, Clarissa!” he added, I drew back and glanced at him. He wiped my tears and picked up my hands in his while dragging them to his lips and kissing my knuckles. Our perfect moment was ruined by a Romulus, we heard him clear his throat and looked at him. He was clearly trying not to smile. I blushed and looked away, “Brother!” he said while strolling to Apollo. “You had to ruin it!” he said while glancing at him, Romulus chuckled “How are you feeling?” he asked with concern evident in his voice. “I’m okay!” he responded flatly
Clarissa POV:- I have to ask Romulus about it right away, I thought and turned to Romulus who was strolling back to me after leaving Benjamin outside. “What happened to him at 7?” I asked and I noticed his shoulders sank and he held a weak sigh. “My grandmother… After losing my grandfather, she has changed, my mother didn’t know the condition my grandmother was in and let her take Apollo to her home… Grandma used to beat him a lot when he did things wrong and abused him… he was so scared of her that he never said any of us about it and tolerated her for years… Cyrus had come to the light to make my grandmother stop beating and he even defended Apollo and told everything she did to my mother… After seeing what my grandmother is doing to Apollo with her own eyes, my mother stopped sending him to her… Cyrus hated my mom for sending Apollo to my grandmother but what he doesn’t know is… that my mother... didn’t want my brother to witness what my father was doing to my mom… she wanted to
Tears were rolling down my eyes as I glanced at him, I had to save him and help him… I can’t see him like this! “Hello,” Romulus answered, “Rom-Romulus,” I cried while holding the phone, “Clarissa?” He replied with concern in his voice. “Apo-Apollo,” I tried to make words but I was sobbing, “What happened, Clarissa, What happened to my brother? Please stop crying and tell me…” he yelled with evident panic in his voice. “He-He fell unconscious, please come here,” I cried, “Okay, please stop crying and be with him, I will be there soon, be strong!” he said and hung on me. I walked back to Apollo and sat down near him, “Apollo!” I cried but there was no response, “Please open your eyes,” I moved my hand under his head and pulled him on my lap, tears rolling down my eyes while yelling for him to open his eyes. Hearing my cry the butler and maids came to the living room, “Bring water,” I asked looking at the butler, he nodded his head and ran to the kitchen. “Apollo!” I shook him
Clarissa’s Pov:- I swallowed visibly while debating what to ask him, I know nothing about Shade, I’m confused but I had been researching about this as I had to handle Apollo while staying here. I had read how to behave with a person with MPD, I made myself remember it. “I-I want to talk to Apollo? Please let me!” I asked with a smile, My heart was beating rapidly while I felt tensed and nervous about him. I noticed the way his eyes moved to my face to my body which made me self-conscious, “You’re Clarissa?” he asked, I noticed that his accent was different, the way he said my name sounded different. I nodded my head in response and maintained the smile. “I have 'eard a lot about you, Nice meeteng you,” he said while extending his hand towards me. I forced a smile and took his hand, he has an Irish accent.“You too,” I replied, “I'm shrry but I can't allow you to talk to Apollo, as de topic will cause him pain and I can't allow dat,” he said politely, I was disappointed at his rep
I took my phone from the handbag and dialled his number; my heart was pounding against my ribcage making me very nervous. After a few rings, he answered, “Clarissa?” He said through the phone, “I...I want to know when you’re coming home,” I said while placing a hand on my raised chest. “I will be there in a minute,” He said while chuckling a bit which made me blush, “O-Okay,” I shuddered and hung up on him, I controlled my breathing and smiled while shaking my head, “Stupid,” I hit my head with my hand while walking towards the bed. I waited anxiously for him; I couldn’t wait to ask him. What will you ask him? Is Juliette your submissive or lover? Jesus! You are an idiot Clarissa! My subconscious yelled at me. What if he doesn’t tell me about her? What if he doesn’t have any feelings for me? What will I do? My chain of thoughts was broken when I heard footsteps coming towards my room, I quickly pulled my cover over me and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.I could hear th
“Is it...is it…” I shuddered, I was shocked and words weren’t coming out of my mouth, my mind wasn’t taking the information in. “Yes, what you’re thinking is right!” he replied, “Wh..what!” I whispered while biting my lower lip and placing my palm over my face, “Don’t worry, Apollo ended it and he’s no more in touch with her,” he continued, but his words didn’t ease my doubts nor this feeling I had in my chest. What is this feeling! Am I hurt? Or is it something else? Sensing my silence Romulus spoke up, “Clarissa! You must talk to Apollo about that but… I have to warn you! This topic is a bit sensitive to him and he can get upset about it… you need to choose your words very carefully if you want to talk to him about Juliette,” he said and I could concern in his voice, “Okay,” I replied and sighed deeply, I want to know this relationship he had with Juliette, I don’t know why? Is it my curiosity? Why do I feel like I have a right to know everything about Apollo? I feel kind of o
