The first thing I felt was the throbbing in my skull, it was dull and insistent. It was like a reminder of every bad decision that had led me here. The second was the dryness in my throat, it was like I'd swallowed sand. But it wasn't the pounding headache or the sterile scent of disinfectant that caught me off guard.

It was her.

Deborah.

I knew I hit the jackpot with choosing her as my secretary. She sat in the chair next to my bed, her chin tilted to her chest and one arm drapes lazily ove

  • The Dangerous Truth Between Them    Chapter 17- She had a panic attack?

    Lucas's POV She had a panic attack?What?Why?How?I don't understand. I clenched my fist as the moment replayed in my mind. I stood with my back to the door and my tie was a little loosened as I watched the city beneath me.It was Tuesday. Supposed to be another day but it wasn't.Things keep on changing.She keeps on changing. Does she know?I felt it the moment she walked past my office this morning. A deliberate avoidance in her trajectory, the way her eyes had skated over my doorway without the pretense of acknowledgement.“Good morning to you too,” I said as I noticed she has taken her seat.She just sighed.Then she looked my way and plastered a smile.It was so fake.I could tell.I was tired and she was as well. I wanted to give her some space ever since she has that attack because I think I may have triggered it.I told myself it was nothing, but as I rationalized it, my jaw tightened with something I couldn't name.By ten o'clock, whatever this was had crystallized into

  • The Dangerous Truth Between Them    Chapter 16- Deborah 

    Deborah's POV Home.Home felt a lot darker. It was suffocating me.The discovery hangs in the air heavily, like I am the FBI or something. He was right.I am just a person that can enter data. I am not an auditor.The weekend dragged on like a wound that won't close.Saturday bleeds into Sunday and I find myself standing here at my apartment window three in the morning.I am watching the city lights blur through my exhausted eyes.I haven't slept.I couldn't.Everytime I closed my eyes he was there. His hands on my shoulders, steady and possessive. His voice was low and intimate, whispering my name like a prayer. Stop thinking about him.But my heart is a traitor, beating his name in morse code against my ribs.I made coffee although I don't drink it. I try to read books where the words swim off the page. I text Ellie halfway through Sunday afternoon and then delete the message before sending it. What would she even say. What could she say?I am falling for someone very dangerous

  • The Dangerous Truth Between Them    Chapter 15- Where too ma'am?

    Deborah's POV The rain started just after nine, a soft percussion again the floor to ceiling windows of Lucas's office. I watched the droplets race down the glass and my chosen droplet lost.I should have gone home hours ago but there's always a client document that needs to be taken care of.The date was excellent by the way. The night was on repeat in my mind ever since I got home. I was happy.I had never seen him laugh out loud before. I wished I took a video for it.He nearly even kissed me. I had to bring him back to reality.“Stop frowning, Deborah,” Lucas said, his voice cutting through my thoughts. He sat across from me at the obsidian conference table, his sleeves rolled to his elbows and the tie a little loosened suggesting even he was tired. But yet his eyes were alert as ever, like he could do this all day.“Just tired,” I lied as I forced my attention back to the presentation glowing on my laptop screen. “These figures are… extensive.”“Twenty-three million is extensive

  • The Dangerous Truth Between Them    Chapter 14- I said can we dance.

    Deborah's POV The city dressed itself in gold for the evening. Streetlights flickered to life as Lucas's car glided through downtown and I watched the blur illumination of windows pass by, each one a story I’d never know. My reflection in the passenger window showed a woman I barely recognized. A sleek black dress hugging my curves and my hair swept into an elegant twist that had taken me three YouTube tutorials to perfect. A professional date?It doesn't feel like it. The butterflies in my stomach has been on rampage ever since he–“You're quiet,” Lucas said, his voice interrupting my train of thoughts as usual.I turned to find time watching me with a hand on the steering wheel and the other resting casually on the center console. The streetlights caught the sharp line of his jaw and the tailored perfection of his charcoal suit.“Just trying to remember how to breathe,” I admitted before I could stop herself.His laugh was low and genuine. “Good, I would hate to think I was the on

  • The Dangerous Truth Between Them    Chapter 13- A professional date

    Lucas's POV I had memorized the pattern.Every morning at 8:30, Deborah would arrive, she was never too late neither too early. It's like punctuality had become her armor.She'd hang her flat with precise movements, set her bag on her desk with deliberate care and power on her. The coffee would be on my table by 8:40am.She walked out without any good morning, any hi or anything at all.She put on her computer without glancing towards my office like she normally would.She knew because I'd been watching.But four days, four days of this excruciating dance where we existed in the same space but occupied different worlds.Now, through the glass wall that separated my office from the bullpen, I watched her review a contract.Her posture was inch perfect. The way she sat down, with her spine straight, shoulders squared. The way she sat down and the curve her butt made, my goodness. It could have me to my knees.Correction, it could have any man to her knees.I could still sense the tensi

  • The Dangerous Truth Between Them    Chapter 12 - Lucas please

    Deborah's POVHis composure was cracking now. His voice pitching higher. “Be reasonable. Fifteen million, my investors will ask questions. They'll demand documentation, projections and proof of-”“They'll want whatever you tell them to want.” His tone turned to ice. “You're a smart man, Mr Chen. You know how this works. You knew before you walked into this room.”What is he talking about?Something doesn't feel right. I mean besides the money, why hasn't Chen walked away yet?A look of understanding passed between them that I wasn't even part of as I was surprised that this deal is happening. Chen's face went from red to white in an instant and his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.“Yes,” he whispered. “Yes, I… I understand.” “Good.” Lucas stood smoothly, buttoning his jacket. “My secretary will send you the account details this afternoon.” Me? I don't agree to this deal, I thought quietly to myself. “I look forward to our partnership.”He extended his hand. Chen stared at it

    Deborah’s POVThe morning dragged itself into noon, and there was no sign of Lucas.
