Mine
A pair of stormy grey eyes gazed down at me, my heart skipped at the intensity in them. I tried to move but as if I didn't have any control over my body. I couldn't do anything but to watch those grey pools coming closer.
Then I felt hot breath fanning on my neck, sending goosebumps across my skin. My insides squirmed with anticipation.
"Mine…"
Jolting awake from my sleep, I searched around for him. But there was no one. But, I felt as if someone just called me mine…
Running my palms over my face, I sat up. It was just a dream.
He wouldn't leave me alone even in my dreams, would he? Three days had passed since that night and my returning back to NY, and his words still haunted my sleep.
Shaking my head, I glanced at the time. Shit! It's already eight!
Scrambling out of the bed, I grabbed my clothes for the interview and ran inside the washroom.

"Come onnn, Em! You can't sit here with that gloomy face. Don't worry about the job, just ennjoy, girl! Everything will be fine," Molly, one of my college friends, slurred, leaning against the bar counter. "Here take this drink, you'll feel good."I shook my head. "I'm not in a mood. So I'd just pass."She pouted. But as I didn't drink the shot she offered to me, shrugging, she gulped it herself.Kate and John, my other friends and circle's popular couple, shook their heads at her and went back to their cuddling.We were at a local pub with our college friends. After they got to know about Warner's getting the job, they wanted to celebrate it. So here we were, enjoying the night. Except me. Too many thoughts were playing in my head to get wasted with alcohol."Here, at least drink this orange juice. It's really good, I tell you." Warner handed me a glass, sipping on his own."

"So, that means you will stay here now that you've been transferred to this city?" Mom eyed me, stirring the soup on the stove. Her voice radiated felicity.Peeling another pea, I shrugged. "I don't know know. I'm thinking to apply for another transfer. Maybe they will consider it?"Staying here wasn't an option for me, but leaving this job, well, I couldn't take this risk. I'd dreamed to work at companies like this, and now that I finally got the chance, I couldn't just throw it away. The one thing that didn't make any sense was, Coopers Fabrics was one of the most successful textile companies, then what happened all of a sudden that they had to sell it overnight?"I didn't know you hate this city that much," she said, her tone fragile.I sighed. "I don't hate it here, Mom. It's just, I told you, all my plans are made around NY. And I can't just ignore them just like that.""Do you think I'm a fool
The Trap Of Ace Playing with me?
I had to crane my neck to look up at the huge skyscraper standing proud before me. Moulded with sleek glass, it reflected the whole city against it. And a huge OC Textiles was hung at the top of the building. My new office.I wasn't hoping for anything to turn out good, because from the past experiences, I knew my wish wouldn't get sanctioned anyway. But that didn't tame down the nervous flutters in my tummy. I wasn't even sure if I'd have to work here or they'd consider my request and transfer me elsewhere.Let's see what happens.Blowing out a breath, I walked inside. And I was left in awe.From the dark marble floor and classy contemporary interior, to the polished dark wood ceiling, everything was stunning and spotless. I didn't know an office could be this beautiful.When I approached the receptionist, she was up to her feet with a bright smile plastered onto her face, even before I could
The Trap Of Ace As the king orders
A knock on the door put a break on my non-stop rejecting and selecting the designs from the heap of catalogues. I needed to deliver the final samples to the head designers for the new collection of OC Textiles.Liza's blonde head poked through the door."Sorry to disturb you, but the meeting is just about to begin. And your presence is required there."My brows furrowed. "But I'm just an employee. What'd I do in a board meeting?"Her shoulders lifted. "No idea. The boss's order."Why'd Caleb need me in a board meeting?Sighing, I nodded. "Alright! I'll be there in a few.""Great! See you there!" With that, she closed the door behind her and left.I didn't even have any idea what the meeting was about. Nor did I know what to do there or say. Whatever happens, I just hoped he wouldn't be there. After yesterday's confrontation, I'd tried my best
The Trap Of Ace Creep!
I set the papers aside where my designs were printed on, and picked up my phone after it blared for the second time. A smile etched into my face seeing the caller ID."It took you a whole week to call me?""And it took you two rings to pick up the phone?"I chuckled. "I was working on some designs. Anyway, what's up with you? How's the job going?"Since Warner had left for Seattle for his new job and I returned to California, it was our first conversation in this whole week."You're working on weekends? And yes, everything is going smooth. Life has never been this good. Though, the work is hard.""Glad to hear that," I said. If only my life was a little better. "And yes, but it's not official work. Just some of my ideas I needed to polish.""About the office, how's it going? I hope you still don't have any problem staying in California, do you?" he asked

"So you mean, he literally declared that he wants you? That you're his?" asked Cassie, her jaw on the floor."He didn't exactly say that.""But this is what he meant with whatever he said. Even a kid can see through it!" she argued.I threw the cards we were playing on the table and sat back against the couch, huffing. After the auction I got a call from her to meet at her place. With a feeble flu, she was getting bored out of her mind. So I came to give her company."God! I've seen people being crazy in love before. But this? This is insane!" She shook her head in disbelief. "Buying an entire company just to bring you closer to him, forcing you to attend the board meetings so that he can get to see you more and wasting a million over just a canvas?"At the mention of the 'L' word, I sat up straight. "There's no love! It's- it just could be a want of possession or obsession of his. I don't kno
The Trap Of Ace His scorching touch
Clutching the t-shirt tight against my chest, I whirled around and my breath caught into my throat. There, he stood rigid beside the door, hand clenched around the knob as his darker than ever stormy grey gaze preyed on my almost half naked body. Even with the t-shirt before my chest, I felt naked under his scorching stare.Curse the moment I decided to go braless due to the thick cotton blouse!"W-what are you doing here? Get out!" I screeched, as he stood there immobile, staring at me shamelessly.My outburst seemed to pull him out of his trance. Closing his eyes for a moment, he took a deep breath. Once those grey pools opened again, instead of leaving, he closed the door behind him and stalked towards me.Eyes like saucers, I stepped back. "W-what are you doing? Get out of the room! Right now!"Only when he was inches away from me, then did he stop. Jaws clenched, his gaze went back to roam on m
The Trap Of Ace You're mine!
I shook my head. Why did I care about what he was doing here?I should just go back to the terrace.Once back upstairs, I found the meeting was over and everyone was now enjoying their drinks, except Ace. He simply drank a glass of plain water.And… that witch was now in my seat!But his attention wasn't on her, instead those stormy eyes were searching around for something. Until they landed on me. Was that relief that flashed over them?He beckoned me to him with his head, but I turned around and went to Liza who was talking to two of the Arabs beside the railings. Matt wasn't here, he went to attend a phone call right after me when I left for the washroom."Hey, where did you go?" Liza queried."Washroom," I replied, standing next to her. Nodding her head, she returned to the conversation.One of the Arabs' eyes
