My eyes are literally bulging out at the scene in front of me. 

The rude bitch at the front desk is hunched over the CEO desk as he thrusts into her from behind. My feet are glued to the floor, my mouth wide open, staring blankly at them. 

I recognise the CEO instantly, he is the man from the other night, the one that left without a note or thank you. 

His hair is tousled, tie laced loosely around his, the white shirt he is wearing is tucked out of his pants as he pounds into her not minding my presence. 

The rude bitch smirks at me as the image burns into my brain. His head snaps towards me, and I get lost in his eyes. 

It's not blue as I guessed it's green. Deep green like forest trees. A scowl appears on his face, pulling out, he snaps at me. 

“Who the fuck are you?” 

“Ummm… my–” my thoughts are jumbled up together as I try to make sense of what he says. 

“I asked you a question.” his voice is chill, cold. He steps in front of me, towering over my head. 

His smell hit me like waves dulling my senses, he smells like wood, cigarette and coconut. I can tell he is ripped from the way he moves, flexing his muscles. 

I am measly five foot five while he stood over six foot ten or so. The aura around him is intimidating, commanding authority. 

“I–I am your new secretary.” I squeak out, my fingers go into my mouth, biting them. 

It's a bad habit of mine. 

His face is neutral, no emotion passes through. He simply stared at me, trailing his eyes over my body. 

A flick of disgust passes over his feature before his poker face returns. 

His jaw tightens, hands clenched beside him as he spits out in anger “Get out.”

I don't need to be told twice, turning around I dash out with the speed of light. Slumping my little ass in my chair inside my office. 

Breathing out in relief, my palm automatically starts slapping the side of my head mulling over my stupidity. 

Why? why? Why did I go into his office huh? 

I slam my head on my table repeatedly trying to knock some sense into my head. 

I jump at the sudden ring of the office, slowly I reach out and take the call. 

“Get in here.” The CEO's voice rings into my ear sending chills down my spine. 

He doesn't wait for a response before hanging up. Oh my lord. I just started working here, and I am going to get fired all because of my nosiness. 

Scrambling upon my seat, I rush out heading to his office which is next door. 

The bitch comes out, a glare fixed on her face for me. I lower my head just to avoid her as I push the door to his office open. 

My eyes automatically find his body. His chair is faced away from me, he turns in his seat staring out of the floor to ceiling window. 

“Si–sir,” clearing my throat so I stop stuttering like an idiot, I open my mouth to speak again, this time my voice is more confident. 

“Sir, you called for me.” 

He twirls a pen within his fingers, still swaying from side to side but not turning to look at me. When he speaks his voice is detached, and cold. 

“So you are the idiot who Reece hired,” he swirls his chair again, finally turning completely to stare at me 

His eyes make me want to crawl into a hole, and die. Green eyes that look dark, dull and lifeless. 

Only his eyes tell me how ruthless he is, his eyes displaying no emotions like a robot he just stares. 

“Don't ever step in here without me calling for you. Now take these files, sort them out, and submit them by the end of today.” he barks, his frown more prominent than before. 

How could he not remember me? My eyes drift to the files, and I almost faint. 

There should be no less than fifty files there, I want to protest before he speaks again, “Get out or you will be fired for being useless.” 

My heart breaks. Taking fast strides towards him, I gather the files that are almost heavier than I am, and stumble out of his office. 

I drop the file with a heavy sigh leaving my lips, my body falling onto my chair like a sack of potatoes. 

Immediately I start sorting the files as requested. After several hours a knock on my door has me raising my head to shout a come in. 

A guy, and a girl walk in. The girl's hair catches my eye, it's light brown, her eyes hazel. She has a petite form. Her nose pointed, lips full, and pink with legs that could go on for days. 

She is an epitome of beauty,so fine I can't help the next words that slips out of my mouth, “You are so beautiful.”

Her pale cheeks go pink as she ducks her hair shyly, muttering a quick thank you. 

“ We heard of the new secretary so we came to invite you for lunch.” the guy says, stretching out his hand. 

I shake his hand with a grateful smile, at least some are nice. 

“That's so nice of you guys, thank you.” I appreciate smiling. 

“I am Jack Tumbler, and this is–”

“Rose Jeffrey.” the petite girl, Rose, interrupts. 

I smile, “I am Mia Neomi, lovely to meet you both. I would have to take a raincheck on that offer because Mr Antonio gave me tons of work to do.” I explained sadly. 

“Mr Antonio is very strict, and mean. Stay out of his way, and try your best never to offend him.” Rose warns, her eyes darting around. 

Tell me about it, the bastard is so hard on me. I am not the one who told him to have sex at work where he can be walked in on. 

I thank them once again, waving them bye before they leave. 

Once they are gone, I dive back into sorting the files ignoring my aching butt. 

By the time I am done it's after eight already. My back, legs, arms everywhere aches, my fingers are numb from typing so much. 

All I want to do is squeeze the life out of that stupid, egoistic, crazy maniac for making my day hell. 

After sending the files to him, I head out. The whole place is empty when I leave. 

The street is dark as I slowly walk to the bus top. I am so oblivious of my surroundings thinking only about the food I am yet to eat that my soul literally leaves me when an arm clasps over my mouth. 

“Hey there, pretty little thing.” his other arm move, pressing my boobs hard. 

I thrash around, trying to break free but the person is bigger, stronger. Left with no choice I bite his hand hard until he lets go with a hiss. 

My feet move fast as I run screaming out, “Help!!!”. 

My left foot tripped over the other, sending my body to the floor. Pain shots through me as I move back, tears burning my eyes. 

He moves forward a smirk playing on his lips, “Gotcha.” then he lungs at me.

    The engine of the SUV cut out, leaving the interior in complete darkness. Outside the tinted glass, the North Dock warehouse looked entirely abandoned. The patched iron walls were covered in rust, and the heavy concrete loading bays were cracked and stained with old grease.Reece sat in the passenger seat beside me, checked the magazine of his sidearm, and let the slide snap forward with a clean, metallic click."Assault team is in position at the north and south fire exits," Reece said, his voice dropping to a low whisper as he looked at the tablet on his lap. "The satellite tracker shows the transponder signal is still live. It's coming from the main supervisor's office on the third floor of the structure.""No flashbangs," I ordered, my jaw clenching as the bruising across my swollen nose throbbed in the cold air. "We need the hardware intact. If they see us coming and smash the primary network links, the entire sweep last night was for nothing.""Understood, boss. We move on yo

    The heavy front doors of the mansion hadn't even finished clicking shut before the silence came rolling back in, thicker and heavier than before.Giovanni was gone. The rumble of his SUV engine faded down the long driveway, leaving the house completely still. Theresa was still sitting at the kitchen island, methodically chewing on a fry, but even she had stopped making jokes. The playful, chaotic energy we had forced into the room during breakfast evaporated, leaving nothing but the reality of the armed men patrolling the lawn outside."He's going to be fine, Mia," Theresa said quietly, setting her fork down on the cardboard takeout container. "The guy looks like he survives on a diet of pure granite and bad intentions. A trip to the docks isn't going to break him.""I know," I muttered, leaning my back against the refrigerator and staring down at my bandaged feet. "It’s just... every time he walks out that door, I feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Literally.""Well

    The delivery guy from the steakhouse didn't even make it past the outer steel gates. Reece’s perimeter guards took the food boxes, ran them through a portable chemical scanner to ensure they weren't laced with anything, and brought them up the driveway themselves.I stood by the grand entrance of the house, watching the black security SUVs rumble slowly along the fence line. My face felt tight, the bruising across my nose throbbing with every beat of my pulse."The satellite transponder data just came back," Reece said, stepping up onto the stone porch behind me. He had a fresh jacket on, covering the bandage on his forearm. He held out his phone, showing a map with a blinking red circle. "We ran the logs from the dead hacker’s terminal before Mia drowned it in sugar water.""Where was he sending the data packets?""A defunct cold-storage warehouse right on the edge of the North Dock territory," Reece said, his voice dropping low so it wouldn't carry past the heavy front doors."I

    By noon, the smell of burnt bacon had finally cleared out of the kitchen, but the heavy, suffocating feeling of being trapped in a gold-plated cage hadn't moved an inch.Giovanni and Reece had locked themselves back inside the ruined study hours ago. Every now and then, I could hear the muffled, low vibration of Giovanni’s angry voice barking orders through the thick wood, followed by the sound of heavy boots pacing back and forth across the floorboards. The house was supposed to be completely secure now, but every time a tree branch scraped against the window pane, my chest tightened until it felt like my ribs were going to crack.Theresa was sprawled out across the massive velvet sofa in the main living room, still wearing the oversized gray sweatpants Giovanni had given her. She was tossing a small leather sofa pillow up in the air and catching it, her eyes staring blankly at the high ceiling."If I don’t get some real food into my system in the next twenty minutes, I am going to s

    The coffee in my mug was completely cold, but I kept drinking it anyway just to have something to hold onto.It was five in the morning. The emergency lights in the study had finally been turned off, replaced by the pale, gray light of a New York dawn. The room was still a mess from last night’s sweep, but I didn't care about the torn books or the broken desk drawers anymore.Reece sat on the edge of the leather sofa across from me, a bloody bandage wrapped tightly around his forearm. He looked just as dead as I felt."The perimeter teams ran the plates on those three SUVs at the intersection," Reece said, his voice completely raw. "They didn't belong to the Vance family. And they didn't belong to your father."I set my mug down on the ruined desk with a soft click. "Then who the fuck do they belong to?""A shell company registered out of New Jersey," Reece muttered, rubbing his bloodshot eyes. "But the digital fingerprint on the registration matches the same encrypted accounts Scarle

    The sound of that second gunshot felt like a physical punch to my chest.It was louder than the first one. It rattled the wooden stairs beneath my bare feet and echoed up through the basement doorframe, followed by a sudden, heavy silence that made the entire house feel completely dead."Giovanni?" I whispered, my voice disappearing into the dark corridor.I didn't care about the rules anymore. I didn't care about the red-alert lockdown or the fact that my feet were still tracking wet mud onto the polished floor. I lunged forward to head down the stairs, but Theresa’s fingers clamped around my wrist like a vice, yanking me back."Mia, don't you dare," she hissed, her voice shaking but her grip steady. She was still holding that ridiculous gold cheese knife in front of her chest. "You don't have a weapon. Going down there makes you a target, not help.""He’s down there, Theresa!" I snapped, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. "Two shots. What if he…"Before I could

Why can't he be my boss instead huh? I step further i
