'Hey beautiful, These beautiful flowers are for this beautiful lady. I hope they brought a smile on your lips.  I heard what happened at the party and about the news. Don't let it get to you. You know you're better than this. So... smile. Tobias.' The flowers weren't from the man I wished.  Pushing the disappointment at the back of my mind, I put the note down. The bouquet followed next.  The news Tobias was talking about, scandal to be exact, was nothing before the pain in my chest at this moment. So no matter what the news said, what names some of my colleagues gave me, I didn't care. But I cared about what he would say. After all, my drunk mess before the paparazzi that night has brought him embarrassment before the whole world. Those news channels used my stupid act to boost up their TRPs.  Som

Shifting on my seat for the fourth time, I forced another bite of the meatloaf Tobias so insisted for me to try in this dine, his favorite usual place. The food was good, but I would've devoured them if the situation was different. But not now, not with him.   Definitely not when his eyes wouldn't move from me for a moment and his mouth ran more for talking than eating. And trust me, I wasn't interested in his personal and business life at all, because that's what all he talked about. About his life and likes.   When I informed him about my decision, he didn't waste a second before messaging me the time and place he wanted us to have the dinner. A dinner just as friends. That's what I told him right after he messaged me the details. Even if I was boiling with anger to show a particular person that I wasn't going to weep around if he left me, I wasn't foolish enough to lead Tobias on. I made my intentions clear to him.  

"What the hell are you…"    Turning me around, he pinned me against the cold wall, held my hands captive in his above my head and smashed his mouth on mine. His hard frame pressed against mine with his rock hard desire burning the skin of my abdomen.   A gasp slipped through my lips, letting him use the chance to thrust his tongue in my mouth. Shivers of ecstasy ran through my veins like a hot lava the moment his tongue touched mine, fighting it, dominating me.   Taking one of my legs, he wrapped it around his hip and pulled me flush against him, devouring my mouth like his life depended on it. It emanated a moan out of me.   Clutching his broad shoulders, I kissed him back with everything I had, pushing my hips against his. I didn't even realize when my hips started to grind against his until he let out a growl. Cupping the back of my thigh, he pressed me closer to him if that was even possible

Sliding the glass door of the balcony open, I stepped out in the chilly evening air. Goosebumps crept up my arms as a gentle breeze kissed my skin.  He stood there. While his fists were curled around the railings, his void eyes were set on the horizon painted in crimson with the setting sun. But I knew, the beauty of the evening was the last thing on his mind at that moment. Wrapping my arms around his torso from behind, I kissed his shoulder blade. A heavy breath left him, before his stance relaxed in my hold.  "She is gone?"  I nodded against his back. "You okay?" He took my hand in his and kissed my palm. "Now that you're here, I will be." Moving in front of him, I snuggled his chest. His arms were quick to take me in their warmth.  "You shouldn't be out here. It's cold," he said, nuzzling my hair. 

My heart raced down my ribcage as I shook my head.  No, no, no! This isn't possible! He can't join hands with Monet against us. Anyone, but not him. Not my own brother. But my denial didn't live up to the truth before me for long as I listened to their conversation. "No one saw you coming here, right?" Robert asked, casting a swift glance at the gate. Alex shook his head. "No. I was careful, don't worry." "Good," said Robert. "Here is the envelope. Everything that you need is inside it. Though I'm feeling bad for those people who are gonna die soon." Die? That meant It was indeed the same manilla envelope Jenna stole? No matter how much I didn't want to believe that my own brother would betray us, his family, he just broke my trust further when a tiny smirk tugged up at the corner of his mouth. His dark eyes were void of any emotions
