A R I A N A

The cab stopped at the old, crumbling warehouse my heart was pounding so hard it hurt, I paid the driver and got out, my legs feeling like jelly.

Before I could even take a step, two big men grabbed me they were my father’s guards.

“Let me go! I need to see my son!” I screamed, fighting against them.

They didn’t say a word.

They just dragged me inside the dark, cold warehouse, the smell of oil and dust made me cough.

They took me to a small, dirty room and pushed me inside, one of them tied my hands behind my back with a rough rope.

It bit into my wrists.

“Where is my son?” I cried. “Where is Asher?

Please just take me to him, I’ll give you anything you want” I pleaded

They ignored me and walked out, locking the door behind them.

I was left alone, tied up and scared.

I struggled against the ropes trying to kissing up but who was I kidding? it was no use.

I was trapped.

Then the door unlocked and opened again.

I looked up, hoping it was my father, hoping I could beg f

    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

    A R I A N A I woke up in the middle of the night the bed feeling big and empty next to me Dante wasn’t there and the room was dark and quiet. I goraned rubbing on my throat, I felt thirsty. My throat was very dry. I wondered where Dante had gone probably in his home office working, I’ve noted that he is a workaholic the minute I stepped into this house. It’s like his work was never ending. I sat up slowly. My body felt sore a slow smile spreading to my lips, our together had been... intense, I blushed just by thinking about it. I pulled on Dante's big shirt that was on the floor. It smelled like him. I walked quietly out of the room and down the big stairs and then to the kitchen, the house was so big and quiet at night. It felt a little scary. I got a glass of water from the kitchen letting out a breath as I begin to gulp, I heard a noise behind me. I turned around quickly. It was Dante. He stood in the kitchen doorway. He looked panicked with his eyes were wide

    A R I A N A I forced myself to pull away from Dante’s warm, safe chest, wiping away my tears with the back of my hand, trying to smile even though my heart was screaming and hurting. I didn’t expect to see Dante at the foyer, i thought to lock up myself in the room and wrap my head around what had happened and what more is about to come. “I am sorry,” I whispered, my voice still shaky. “I am just… overwhelmed that’s all.” I looked up at him, hoping my eyes did not show the lie in my heart, hoping he wouldn’t hint it. “I want to give us a chance,” I said, the words feeling heavy and wrong on my tongue. “I really do, and I am sorry for running off like that, I just went out to get some air to think and wrap my head around everything but I am ready now I am ready to try” I say biting my lower lip as I gulped a lump hating myself for lying. Dante looked down at me his dark eyes searching my face, he lifted his hand and gently cupped my cheek, his thumb brushed away a tear that I m
