An intense rosy fragrance assaulted Alaric as he neared the storeroom. It was as if he had neared a garden where roses were blooming in full spring.
He halted in his steps and took in a deep breath. A sweet smile spread on his lips and he closed his eyes, pretty much enjoying the moment. Liken was swooning at the smell. Warning bells went off inside Alaric’s brain but he couldn’t do anything about it.
He walked inside the room hypnotized by the fragrance. It was as if his legs had a mind of their own. It was then he saw her for the first time. She was sitting on the chair. So, he could only see her side profile. Though h
The glass door of the AE's office swung open and everyone’s eyes flitted to the door. They were stunned to see a tall, handsome man dressed in an expensive suit enter the office with authority. They were even more stunned when he looked at his watch and said, “Why are you all still here? Isn’t it time to wrap up?”They were flustered but they soon filed out of the office in twos and threes. Their mind was plagued with millions of questions but they didn’t dare to ask any questions. They didn't want to displease him as he looked like someone powerful.
Alaric ran as fast as his legs could carry. He wished that the wind and the noise of the vehicles would drown the chaos of his mind but unfortunately, it did nothing. People watched him awkwardly as he zipped through the streets, bumping into people. At a crossing, He almost got hit by a car. Had it not come to a halt at the right moment, he would have been dead meat. “Are you mad? Do you want to die?” The disgruntled driver shouted, putting his head out of the window. Tearing his hair, he muttered,
The next morning Sienna woke up from her sleep to the sound of birds twittering outside the window. She didn’t open her eyes waiting for the alarm to ring. She turned to the other side causing her to fall with a thud on the floor. “What a way to start a morning!” She grumbled, unwilling to open her eyes yet. Did she have to fall in the morning? F***! How could she fall? She slept on the floor at home. She gasped as her eyes snapped open. She pulled the comforter around her as she looked around in panic. Memories flooded her mind…
Ruby heaved a sigh of relief when her phone lit up with instructions. It was suffocating to see Sienna cry like this. She was no saint but seeing someone cry like this could move the heart of a stone. She kneeled before Sienna and gathered her into a hug. She held her as she cried, rubbing her back. “It is okay, Sienna. Everything will be alright.”“How, Ruby? How? I have lost my home and I don’t have anywhere to go… moreover that heartless woman burned all my belongings too. I am
Alaric was seated on a plush leather couch in his room. The screen in front of him displayed the live CCTV streaming of his office. He tapped his knuckles on the handrest as he gazed at the screen. “Waiting for your mate to enter the office…” Aunt Sue asked as she walked in with a tray of coffee and breakfast. “Hmmm…. How did you know?”Aunt Sue chuckled as she placed the tray on the table in front of him. “Anyone can tell that with the way you are looking at the scree
“Alaric! Come quickly. It seems like your mate is in a problem.”Aunt Sue’s shrill voice struck Alaric like a bolt of lightning. He threw a shirt around his shoulders and trotted down the stairs buttoning it. A growl escaped his throat as his eyes fell on Jamie. Punching his palm, he exclaimed, “F***! I had forgotten all about this moron. When did he get discharged from the hospital?”His blood boiled as he saw Sienna’s scared expression. He tapped his feet as he turned on the
The next morning Ruby dragged a reluctant Sienna to the AE’s Office. “Ruby, let us just go back…” Sienna said the moment they had stepped out of the cab. She turned back and started waving her hands to call another cab. Ruby grabbed her by her shoulder and said in a confident voice, “Why will you go back? The police officer released you because you are innocent. I am sure everyone will figure it out too.” “But…” Sienna said wringing her hands. It was so aw
Sienna’s hands trembled slightly as she knocked at the door of Alaric’s cabin.“Come in!” His rich, husky voice made the hair on her back bristle but in a good way. Her lips stretched into a wide smile as she entered the cabin. Alaric’s chair was turned away from her. So, she couldn’t see him.She opened her mouth to thank him but was cut off by his cold voice, “Sienna! I wonder what Jamie saw in you… You have caused so much ruckus within a week of being appointment. Gosh! I wish that I could fire you right away but who will pay for the losses then?”Vivian gripped the hem of her sweater and said in a shaking voice, “L.. losses…”“Yes, madam! Losses… you broke the window in the storeroom! Do you think I will let you go just like that? You will work two hours overtime till its cost is repaid!”“How much is the cost, Sir…” Sienna managed to
