INICIAR SESIÓNMYRA'S POVCollins was already waiting for me by the alley when I arrived. Contrary to what one might expect, he looked rather tense, his eyes darting around the area every few seconds as though he were worried someone might have followed him. The moment he spotted me approaching, he straightened and adjusted the folder tucked securely beneath his arm."Good day, Mrs. Mayfield," he greeted nervously."How have you been, Collins?" I asked, offering him a faint smile."I've been doing well. I recently got promoted. I'm now working as Vincent's personal assistant," he informed me, a small trace of pride entering his voice.I nodded. That promotion was useful to me in more ways than he probably realized. "That's good. So, do you have anything for me?""Oh, yes." He nodded quickly before pulling the folder from beneath his arm and handing it over to me. "This is Vincent's schedule. It's his schedule for the entire month."I took the folder and opened it, flipping through the pages. I'd alw
MYRA'S P.O.VAfter talking for a bit with Landon, I gathered the files and left the diner, returning directly to my apartment. I was done playing it cool and safe with Vincent. Now I didn't just want to ruin his life. I wanted to ruin his existence completely. A monster like him deserved nothing less. And whoever it was he was working for, after I was done with him, I would face them next.After setting the files safely away inside my hidden cabinet, I took out my phone and texted Collins, setting up a meeting with him tomorrow. If I wanted to leak this information and these documents out effectively, I needed an inside man. Someone close to Vincent to assist me, and Collins was just the man.The next morning, I went to work as usual, got Jade's favorite coffee, and arrived at his office early. He seemed to be in a bright mood the moment he saw me walk inside his office.“Good morning, Boss,” I greeted as I placed the coffee down on his desk.As though noticing my soiled mood imm
MYRA'S POVI had faked the whole tired, sleepy act at the restaurant. It wasn't like I wasn't enjoying my date with Jade. Heavens, I was enjoying every second with him. But I couldn't miss this meeting with Landon. I changed out of my clothes into something comfortable before pulling out the burner phone to call him. He picked up on the second ring.“Where are we meeting?” I asked, holding the phone tight to my ear.“The diner three blocks from your apartment building,” Landon said over the line. “I'm almost there.”“Okay,” I said, checking the street outside my window. “Give me five minutes. I'm on my way there right now.”I hung up the call, hid the burner phone back where I kept it, and put on a light coat before leaving my apartment. The streets were mostly deserted by this time of night. Normally, I wouldn't even dare come out this late, but this meeting was too important, so I had to take the risk. Of course, I had left my phone and wallet back at home.The bell above the din
Jade's P. O.V"If I was actually here to kill you tonight, you would already be dead by now and painting this expensive floor with your blood," the intruder said, finally lowering his heavy weapon away from my chest."What the hell are you even doing in my house, Agent Red Velt?" I threw the sharp question back at him as I clicked the safety back on and smoothly tucked the gun into the waistband of my pants at my side."Do you care for a fine cigar to calm your frayed nerves after a long day?" Agent Red Velt asked, holding out an open cigar box toward me while keeping a completely deadpan expression."You know I don't touch that garbage," I snapped, ignoring his stupid offer completely as I strode aggressively across the living room floor and stood right in front of him.His dark eyes immediately narrowed in sudden irritation as his hand hung frozen mid-air with the open box."I want you out of my house." I made it painfully obvious that I was completely displeased with his uninvit
Jade's P.O.VA short time later, we were back outside in the cool night air and sitting comfortably on my black motorcycle. We were driving down the main city roads heading directly toward her apartment complex. The entire ride was completely silent between us, but I honestly did not mind the lack of verbal conversation.I could easily feel the comforting, lush warmth of her full body pressing directly against my back. She wrapped her soft arms securely around my waist to hold on tightly, her perfect curves fitting perfectly against my rigid posture.For those few blissful minutes on the open road, I allowed my brain to completely forget about the threatening message waiting on my phone.When I finally pulled the heavy bike to a smooth stop right in front of her apartment building, Myra climbed off the leather seat. She adjusted her tight skirt over her full hips and turned around to face me on the pavement.God, how fucking sexy she looked right now."Thank you so much for everythin
JADE'S P.O.V "It is really not too late for you to start over," I told Myra, holding her gaze firmly across the wooden table. "You can still go out there and chase after the things you always wanted to do with your life instead of just managing my daily calendar at the office." Myra shook her head side to side and bit her plump bottom lip to hide a small smile. "It is already way too late for me to change my entire career path right now, Jade." "I have far too many responsibilities now" she explained, lifting a soft shoulder in a casual shrug. "Besides, things are actually going perfectly okay for me right now." "I am trying best to live in the present moment instead of constantly worrying about the past," she continued, picking up her white napkin to wipe her mouth. "Dreaming about what could have been is just a massive waste of precious energy." "You are my secretary, Myra, not my indentured servant," I pointed out, leaning forward to rest my elbows on the table. "You don't
