I was awoken by the sound of someone grunting. I blinked a few times to adjust to the light as I looked around. I spotted Zed on the bed sleeping with his gun on his chest. I stayed still trying to debate what was the best thing to do. He could be testing me and if I tried anything it will result in me getting either shot or a terrible slap.I couldn't sit here and think about that, this was my chance. I stood up slowly trying to be as quiet as I could. I knew the door was locked and the key was most likely in his pocket. The first thing I did was take up the jacket and took out the coins I saw earlier. My heart leapt from my chest when a few of the coins fell on the floor.He twitched but didn't wake up. I sighed in undeniable relief before calmly placing the jacket back to how it was. I went over to his side and notice the keys were right on the pillow next to him. I calmed my breathing and reached over hoping I wouldn't wake him. I took up the keys clutching them tightly so they w

2 days laterIt was after nine in the morning and I still haven't gotten out of bed. I just felt like I should rest up today and I didn't know why. After the night I broke down and Mordechai actually calmed me down, he didn't ask anything more about my past. He gave me his couch to sleep on with enough blankets to survive a winter storm.The following morning he took me home and I told Devin everything that happened. After telling him he was suprised that Mordechai actually hugged me and dried my tears. I was even suprised myself that night because he seemed like a different person from my arrogant, self-centered boss. I guess everyone does have more than one side to their personalities.He gave me that day and today off and I will be returning to work tomorrow and I don't really know how to feel about it. I was going to face him again and I didn't know if he told anyone about what I told him. I don't really think he will it's just, I don't want anyone else to know from those that alr

VanessaAs I thought, my desk was loaded with documents. I wasn't even going to complain because what's the point? I still had to get them done. I was finally back at work and everything felt normal. I haven't even spotted Mordechai as if he wasn't around.I sat around my desk and released a deep sigh. This was alot but it could take my mind off things. I was kind of stressed over my situation and I spent almost the rest of yesterday thinking about it. After Mordechai left I decided to watch a movie but my mind wasn't registering it. It was just somewhere else.In the next two months my contract would be up and I could leave New York freely. But was it what I wanted? It was all my mind was set on the day I took this job. But seeing how things are, I have no idea where in the world I could go and Zed doesn't find me. He already knew where I lived and I didn't want those around me to get hurt. It was only a matter of time before he takes me back.I was so deep in thought that I didn't r

VanessaI didn't see him back at work yesterday. After what happened in the office my mind was in a different state. I didn't know if he had any feelings for me or was it just pure lust. I knew he was pissed at how I challenged but I had to make my point. If he regretted making out with me then he shouldn't have done it in the first place. If he thinks it's so wrong then he should keep his hands off.Right now I was currently on my lunch break. I haven't spotted him all morning and to be honest I'm not sure if I wanted to see him back. My mind was clouded with too many thoughts. I was in the lounge room along with Olivia who was typing away on her phone. I laid back on the couch and stared up at the Mandala patterned ceiling. It was painted white but yout could see the outline of the beautiful designs.I didn't know how long I laid there deep in thought but when I got up Olivia was gone and was replaced by Mordechai. He sat there with his legs crossed and a hand on his chin. I laid ba

-Mordechai I took off my jacket before laying across the bed. I knew my father was deeply angry at me but he will have to calm down one breath at a time. I wasn't happy with the situation and I let him know that. It was the hard way but I was a man and I can't go through with something that doesn't sit right with me, not even for the sake of the business.I told him I'd be at the penthouse when he's ready to talk. Dianna wasn't comfortable with the situation either because she had already had a lover. Speaking up to my father was the best decision I could ever make. I stared up at the ceiling before a thought crossed my mind and I took up my phone. I saw a few texts from Tifanny but I went past them and went for Vanessa.I red over our messages from yesterday and a smile sprung to my lips. There was no denying it now, I wanted her. I knew it was a risk but what's a life without taking chances? I wanted to know more about the guy who was after her. He was definitely in a gang and I kn
