"Panic attack," I muttered back, staring blankly into his eyes like I didn't understand what he was saying, "What did he mean by panic attack?" I questioned myself inwardly, squeezing the pillow I had picked up from the bed."Do you get nervous around me? What are your thoughts when you're with me?" He asked. I gulped loudly when I heard him ask that question, and my heart totally stopped beating when he held my chin, raising my head so I could look at him."Are you afraid of me?" I was shaking inside of me, my lips parted, but there were no words from me. I leaked my dried up lips, not knowing what to do at this moment, I didn't know if I could tell him the truth."I'm–" "Daddy, I'm back!" His daughter snow barged into the room, catching it in a very awkward situation. "Oh, yes dear," he quickly left my chin, and I was finally able to breathe properly again."Daddy, why were you holding butterfly?" He turned her head sideways before coming to join us on the bed. "Is butterfly si

Lola's pov."Where is the fuck is she?" I questioned myself, looking through the files on my desk. I had a date with Sheldon in ten minutes at his place, and she was the reason I hadn't gone yet."Shelly!" I screamed, veins showing on my neck. She was beginning to step on my toes. "Shelly!" "Yes, ma'am." She rushed into my office, breathing like a pig."Where are the files I asked for? Do you want to lose your job like that pathetic Vanessa?" "No, ma'am," she replied, and even when she tried to be professional, I noticed she was frowning."Be sure to be here until the closing hours, okay?" "Yes, ma'am." I pulled the file off her hands and placed it on the desk. "I'm going for a date with my love. Please, do not come into my office and also find something reasonable to do. Our clients shouldn't complain about our services. Is that clear?""Yes, ma'am." She was obedient because she had no choice. She knew I wouldn't waste time firing her just by snapping my fingers."Good, I'm off

I slowly opened my eyes to meet his gaze. He was smiling, and his eyes stared at me with so much love that I didn't even know what I had done to deserve him."What happened?" I asked, sitting up as I leaned my back on the headboard."Nothing, baby." He smiled, moving closer to me, his eyes resting on my breast, which was still in view."Well, there's something wrong with the way you're looking at me." I grinned as I sniffed the amazing aroma that filled the room. "What's that aroma?""Well, I cooked for my very special someone, I hope you like it. I made soup," he replied with a smile boldly printed on his face."Really?" I was jumping with joy. Sheldon was the best man to be with, and I was glad I dumped that fool for him. Sheldon knew how to touch me and how to care for me but Cole and his annoying little Snow–she was always his priority and I hated it, I didn't need any kid to frustrate my life for any reason at all."Are you alright?" Sheldon asked, lines appearing on his head."H

"I-I don't understand," I stammered, my hands shaking continuously because I didn't know what else to do."I'm here for you. How can you claim not to understand such a simple statement?" He raised his brow, moving towards me as I took slow steps backwards."Are you scared of me?" He asked, making me gulp loudly. If only he knew I was scared of what he was doing to me. He was making me love him with every single torture he was giving me."Where's Snow?" I asked in a shaky voice, trying to change the topic. I thought that was one of the ways to save me since I didn't know what to do anymore."School," he said briefly, trapping me in the depths of his eyes with an intensive stare. "So soon?" I asked, but he ignored me. He was still coming forward, and with every step he took forward, I moved back with a pounding heart. "Vanessa, stay still," When those words left his lips, I tried to take a step backwards, but I bumped my back into the wall behind me. "Now that you have stayed still..

I watched him slam the door at my face, but I was relieved that he didn't take note of how much I loved him. I didn't want him to know about my feelings yet because I wasn't ready for it now.We needed to focus on our revenge with Lola and Sheldon because those two deserved to be punished.I gazed at Cole's door one more time, sighing at the way he left me here. He really got jealous at the slightest things I do, and his anger wouldn't even spare me or allow me to explain to him.I walked back to my office, hoping he would come back to his senses. I opened the door to my office and I breathed in the air there. This was the only place I could focus, and I don't even know if Cole would allow me work today.I walked in, shut the door, and took slow steps to my desk. It was dusty, so I cut off some paper towels and used them to clean the dusty chair. I had just settled in when someone knocked on my door."Come in," I was doing some work on my computer, so my eyes were focused on the scree
