Chapter 9:
Sanaya’s P.O.V
My breath was a bit unsteady as I walked into ReefWood HQ the next morning. I couldn’t tell if it was because I was barely skimming the eight o’ clock mark this morning or because of that blasted dream last night, but my hands were a bit shaky as I pressed the elevator buttons to the sixteenth floor and I was pretty sure that the entire building could hear my heart beat.
Incubi could invade dreams. Fuck! How could I have forgotten one of the most crucial powers an Incubus has? It was the first thing that Acelin had warned me about when I was first promoted to the position of a Scribt.
“Not all Incubi possess this power,” Acelin said to me, his bright crystalline blue eyes clear as the ocean. “But some of us do and it can be very dangerous for the human. Mostly all high ranking Incubi can invade dreams.”
“I understand, Sir.”
Chapter 10:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Sanaya! Hold up!”I paused on my way to the exit and looked back to find Tanya running towards me in her disastrous high heels. I half expected her to slip on the polished marble floor and break a leg or two, but the woman managed to gracefully come to a stop in front of me without breaking a sweat.“Good! I was able to catch you just in time.” She panted with a hand on her chest. “Are you done for the day? Do you wanna hang out?”“Hang out? Where?” I asked her and noticed three other people had come to a stop a few feet away from us.“The Vixen.” Tanya said with a huge smile and turned back and motioned the others to come join us. I immediately recognized Martin from the group. He wasn’t wearing his chauffer’s uniform this evening and instead had a light blue shirt on that complemented his icy blue eyes
Chapter 11:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Yes, she knows, Soph…TinTin.” Martin spoke from the bar. “She’s the Sire’s Scribt.”Everyone seemed to visibly relax and breathe a sigh of relief.“What the others meant by the Supernatural club was that we all know that our CEO is the future Incubus King and we are a part of the supernatural world as well.” Martin explained to me as he came to stand beside me and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Well…they are at least. You and I are the only humans.”“Technically, you’re not really human.” Tanya tilted her whiskey glass at Martin before taking a sip.“Technically, you just scared Sanaya to death.” Martin said in a mocking voice, imitating the way Tanya had spoken. Tanya just stuck her tongue out at him.“So…what’s exactly going on in her
Chapter 12:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Sir?” I knocked on the door twice with my knuckles and entered Lancelin’s office only after getting a response from him.“Sir,” I held out the planner for him to take. “The Internal Affairs Department has submitted the result of the polls that the bars recently conducted. They have also placed in several suggestions that the employee’s had made and are now waiting for your approval.”Lancelin took the planner off my hand without even glancing away from the file he was reading and started to scroll through the pages immediately.“Tangshineun nu-guwah yakso-geul jabasseoyo?” (With whom did you make an appointment?) Lancelin asked as he was still scrolling through the planner.“Mswa hamkke. Stonewellui jinsil-ibnida.” (With Ms. Ruth from Stonewell, Sir.) Was my immediate response.Wait. A. Minute.
Chapter 13:Sanaya’s P.O.VLancelin Eustein, the CEO of ReefWood Inc. and the future King of all Incubi in the planet…had a sweet tooth.His basket was filled with Twix bars, Oreos, M&M’s, KitKats and Reese’s as we neared the cash register. I tried to hold in my laugh when laugh when Lancelin peeked into my cart to see what I’d gotten and saw his disappointed frown when he found only cheeses, some Doritos and some hot pockets. There were also some spice roasted hazelnuts and pistachios thrown into the mix, as well as a pack of dried cranberries. They would all pair very well with some Barbera or some Pinot.“I think you forgot the Hershey’s and Snickers, Sir. Should I go grab them for you?” I asked with the most innocent voice I could master.“Not another word, Ms. Johnson. Not another word.” He glared at me from the corner of his eyes.I could
Chapter 14:Sanaya’s P.O.V“You got invited where?” Tanya and Sophia gasped in unison.“To Ms. Amber Rose Verborg’s party?” I looked at the two women in confusion as their mouths hit the floor. “Okay, what am I missing?”“Honey!” Sophia put her hands on my shoulders and gave me a little shake. “You’re wearing an Esteem Amber lipstick from the Deluxe collection! How could you not know the owner of the company?”Oh! “Wait…how do you know I’m wearing Esteem Amber?”I frowned at Sophia.“That colour is unique to Esteem Amber.” Tanya told me. “I would’ve bough it already if it wasn’t that damn expensive. I’m saving up my bonuses.”“Me too!” Sophia chimed in. “But, let’s discuss that later, shall we? Sanaya needs help and I
Chapter 15:Sanaya’s P.O.VAcelin took one look at me and his lips turned up into a ridiculously large gleeful smile. If I hadn’t been so flustered, I would’ve thrown a champagne flute at his head, but sadly, Lancelin had his arm around my waist and Acelin was safe and sound with his obvious joy…for now.Even Martin had given me a smirk when he had seen me get into the car after Lance. It had caused me to check my appearance several times in my compact mirror, but everything had seemed fine…except for the blush on my cheeks that refused to disappear and the tiny but noticeable mark on my neck…which I had fixed with a tiny bit of concealer. Lancelin had frowned at the concealer but had otherwise said nothing.Surprisingly, Lancelin had held his hand out for me when we got off the car and he had had his arm around my waist ever since. I didn’t quite know what to make of it. I cou
Chapter 16:Lancelin’s P.O.V“Hello brother,” Acelin came to stand beside me on the veranda as I watched Amber Rose walk around the hall with Sanaya by her side; both women were laughing and talking like they had been friends for decades instead of having just met.“They seem to get along just fine.” I took a sip of my whisky that Acelin handed me, while keeping an eye on them over the rim of my glass.“Poor Lance…” Acelin sighed before grinning from ear to ear. “You two seem to be getting along just fine recently.”“And I guess I have you to thank for that.” I finally turned to face Acelin. “I don’t think Sanaya would like it very much when she learns that her previous Boss and friend had plotted her into ReefWood Inc. all along.”“Into your arms, you mean?” If possible, his grin got even wider and he ran
Chapter 17:Sanaya’s P.O.VThere was an air of authority around the woman. It was in the way that she walked, the way every head in the party turned to her, and the cunning tilt of her lips as she deliberately ignored the gasps and woos.Her dress was sleeveless, exposing delicate shoulders. The sweetheart neckline was just decent enough to entice, to seduce. The gown hugged her narrow waist before flaring into a floor length skirt that flirted with her ankles while having a slit long enough that exposed one slender leg that stretched for miles. Her gown was all black with tiny crystals glittering all over the material. Her midnight black hair was pinned to one side and the delicate curls hung loose to her lower black. Her smoky eyes were a gorgeous emerald, like two gemstones glowing from within and her lips were painted an exquisite bright red. Anyone could’ve mistaken her for a goddess; her beauty was just as pote
