Foreign feelings

Selena was glad when they left the confine of the mansion because all the unnameable feelings going through her head had her bewildered. She felt slightly ashamed for even feeling any type of attraction to the man she hated with all her passion.

Right now they were walking towards his office. She noticed the workers Starring at them. She could easily tell the emotion on the different faces. Most prominent among those looks were envy, then anger.

She was sure they were mostly angry at her and that the thoughts probably running through their mind was that she was a golddigger only after his money.

They were also angry that their hot gangster-looking boss wasn't a bachelor anymore and that it was her he got married to.

She followed behind him keeping her head down as she caught some of their vicious whispers which they meant for her to hear.

Andrei walked ahead as tho no one existed in his universe. His stride was full of confidence which normally earned him lots of attention. He never smiled, and that just added more to his mysterious nature. He seemed to always be in a bad mood. The only emotion he showed was his anger. She had to admit that even his anger was alluring. The way his nostril flared, the darkening of his grey pupils always ignited fear at whoever he directed it. Fear and lust. A lethal combo.

He was always wearing black which just added more character to his dark aura.

He stopped suddenly and it was so abrupt that she stumbled into him, her hands automatically grabbing at his suit to steady herself. They were in front of the elevator. The workers at the section where were few, but she heard their collective gasp. She could almost hear a pin drop from how silent it got.

Her heart felt like it was galloping in her chest from fear as she felt his shoulder stiffen. She let go quickly, noticing the crease in his suit. She used her hand to quickly smooth it down. She glanced at his hands as he fisted them at his side. His dark hair fell forward, so she couldn't see his face. She could notice the hardening of his jaw tho.

The elevator opened and he stepped in turning to face her. She stood outside debating whether to go in or stay. He gave her a tired look and she quickly rushed in. The elevator closed slowly. She felt the air rush out with it, leaving her suffocated.

She watched him from the corners of her eye. His expression was rigid. She wondered if his jaws didn't hurt from the way he clenched them. His stare was icy and she felt how cold it was when he suddenly turned to face her.

"You'll keep your hands to yourself Selena" he chastised and she found that the tiny confine was becoming more smothering.

"I-i-i was..."

He held his hand up to silence her stuttering and she quieted immediately.

"You'll be working with me in my office from now on. So move your stuff immediately"

" W--what?"

" Did I stutter Selena" he glowered.

She shook her head quickly as she wondered why he always got so angry when she did the littlest of things. That was supposed to be the way she felt. This was not fair to her at all.

She frowned at him as he turned his face from her. She wanted to hurt him the way he did her. She lifted her head jutting out her chin. The elevator opened and he stepped out. She took a deep breath and walked out after him. The workers there stood up muttering their greetings. It was wasted as he just walked towards his office without an acknowledgment. Their attention shifted toward her, smiles replacing their sullen gaze. She was surprised as they rushed at her with gifts, wishing her congratulations, then proceeded to ask her all sorts of questions. They were trying to be quiet as possible tho. One of Andrei Marko's rules was that everyone must maintain silence. She knew the number of people he had fired just for disobeying that rule.

They all got back to work after she made up a story about their love life and how wonderful he was to her. She wondered how she managed to lie without her tongue falling off. She stored the gift at her old desk before parking her stuff and walking into his office. He doesn't bother to look up as she came in. She noticed the desk at the far end of his office and assumed that it was for her. She walked towards it and started arranging her stuff on the desk. She sat down when she was done not bothering to recognize his existence.

Her phone suddenly rang causing her to jump. She quickly picked it up as she noticed Andrei's head snap up. He cocked an eyebrow at her. She ignored him.

"Hello".

"What the hell Selena..." José's voice bellowed at the end of the line like he was so hurt, he didn't know how else to voice it.

"José I can explain..... Please am sorry"

" Explain... fucking explain why you're married to that monster...it's all over the freeking news. Tell me it isn't true...I swear to God..."

"José please" she begged her voice breaking. " It's not what you think...I promise it's not"

" We need to talk....am at your favorite restaurant. I want to see you right now".

" Ok, I'll come to you" she acquiesces ending the call, standing up hastily only to freeze as she saw Andrei standing in front of her.

"And where do you think you're going? Who is this José?" He demanded, hands crossing over his chest. He looked deadly serious.

"It's my cousin and I need to see him"

"I forbid you to," he said simply and Selena felt like jumping at him and scratching his eyes off, uttering profane words against him.

"Why the hell not!"

"Because I said so"

" Am going whether you like it or not Andrei. Try to stop me and watch me scream this whole building down. Everyone will know what you truly are" she threatened hotly and he looked so dangerous at that moment that she regretted her words.

" Really now?!" He smiled. It was a smile that did not reach his eyes. It scared her to her bone. He suddenly shoved her back into her seat. Her eyes widened in panic and before she could even get a scream out of her mouth, his hands grabbed the neck of her top. The ripping sound filled the whole office as he tore her top from the top down to the end. He let go of her and she clutched her ripped dress together tightly trembling in her seat.

"You can go out now if you want Selena" he mocked, walking back to his seat as she stared after him terrified out of her mind. She gulped as she stared down at the damage. He did it because he knew she couldn't go anywhere looking that way. He was the devil and the hate in her chest threatened to suffocate. She would make him pay for everything. She swore it.
