I saw his face, my father’s face, watching from the edge of the pool yet he just stood there, didn’t make any move to help.

My eyes flew open, a choked gasp ripped from my throat, I was drenched in sweat, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would break my ribs.

I wasn’t in the water it was in a soft bed, in a not so farmilar environment. My eyes roamed around the room as my heart rate escalated fear clouding my vision,

A sob broke out, then another, I couldn’t stop them, I curled my knees to my chest shaking non stop.

    A R I A N AI finally locked my office door. It was very late and the big building was quiet and dark everyone else had gone home hours ago.I was so tired my eyes hurt from looking at numbers all day and my back ached from sitting for so long.Dante had sent me a message hours ago."The driver is waiting downstairs to take you home. You can leave the rest of the work for tomorrow, do not work too hard. -D"But I did not listen, I wanted to finish and I wanted to show Dante I was capable. I wanted him to trust me even more It would make it easier for me to find the papers for my father to get access to more of his resources.Now I wished I had listened.I walked out of the building the night air was cold, i growled at the cold as I looked for the car and driver, I had personally gone down to tell the driver to make sure he doesn’t tell Dante that I refuse to follow him, even though he was against it, I had to threaten him with his job.Poor man.I looked up and down the street and

    A R I A N AI walked back to my office, my mind still spinning from the tingling a from Dante’s kiss my hand still felt warm where he had held it so tightly.I sat down at my desk and tried to focus on the papers but it was hard my thoughts were everywhere.Then, my office door opened without a knock.I looked up, expecting maybe Dante’s secretary or another employee.But it was not.It was Angelo.My heart jumped into my throat. What was he doing here? How did he get into the building?He walked into my office and closed the door behind him he leaned against it, looking at me with a mean smile.“Hello, Ariana,” he said. “Or should I call you Mrs. Russo?”I stood up from my chair, my hands shaking. “What are you doing here, Angelo? You need to leave… now.”He ignored me. He walked slowly toward my desk he looked around my big, fancy office.“Look at you,” he said, his voice full of mockery. “In your big office playing house with my uncle. Do you really think you belong here?”I fel

    A R I A N A I walked down the hall to Dante's office my throat felt dry. I gulped a lump seeing his name written on the door in big, gold letters. CEO Dante Russo I took a deep breath and knocked softly. "Come in," his deep voice called from inside. I opened the door and stepped in Dante was sitting behind his huge desk, looking at some papers, he looked very serious, lost in his work and I took that time to run my stare around his dashing features. Damn! This man ate in every outfit he puts. He looked up and saw it was me, his whole face changed, It lit up a slight smile spread across his face. "Ariana," he said, his voice warm as he stood up immediately. He walked around his desk toward me, and before I could say anything, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me It was a quick, hard kiss that left me surprised and breathless. "Hi," he said, smiling down at me. "Hi," I whispered back, my face feeling hot. He took my hand and led me to the big, comfortable sofa in the c

    A R I A N A I stirred as my eyes split open, the space next to me in the bed was empty causing me to open my eyes fully my eyes falling on a small note on Dante's pillow. I picked it up his handwriting was neat and strong. "I had to leave early for a meeting I am sorry I could not wake you, I will see you at the office today. Do not be late. -D" I read the note two times. He was expecting me to report to work today. At his company and as his new Head of Financial Strategy we’ll that’s if I pass the interview. A part of me felt a little happy he believed in me, he thought I was smart enough for the job. But a bigger part of me felt sick with guilt. I was going to use this job to betray him and it made me feel, I mean I was going to dig through his private papers and somehow find a a way to ruin him which I one it’s going to me so hard but I had to find a way. I sat up in bed, holding the note my stomach felt tight. I had to do this, for Asher I repeated it in my head like
