Semua Bab HIS TO CONQUER : Bab 51 - Bab 60

They were stacks of files arranged on the table, each one of them demanding my immediate attention, but there was only so much I could do. I had buried myself in work these past few days as a desperate attempt to drown out all the memories, the fear, the sheer humiliation that threatened to resurface with every quiet moment I spent alone. Work was a form of shield to me, my distraction and my self imposed prison.But I’ve also been quite current. I heard Stephen has been discharged from the hospital already, he sustained a lot of injuries but he was better now. Well, the mere thought of him brought a wave of nausea, but I wanted to make sure the fucker wasn’t dead at least. Good for him, he wasn’t suing Gavin for the assault. It was a smart move, probably. I wasn’t going to sue either. It was the best choice. If things gets out of hand and becomes public knowledge, the things that had happened, I would be too embarrassed to face anyone. Letting people know I was almost sexually as

This fucker grabbed my hands roughly, his grips strong as his eyes showed nothing but desperation in their depths. “Logan just a minute." He said as he pulled me to a stop and causing me to face him. The look in his eyes right now, It was the same look he had when dad had brought him and his mom to our house, when he wanted to play with my toys and made me look like a bad person for saying no. The same look he had when he wanted Dad's approval to let him in the company and he ended up messing things up. It was the same look he has now, when he wants my money."Look I just need a little help." He spat out as if I was frustrating him.“You are asking for a few millions and you call that a little help? Be for real.” I hissed annoyed. I stole a glance towards the gate as I spoke and those damned security guards were gone. My stomach clenched because I knew I was vulnerable here alone with him. I hissed silently, cursing my bad luck.Jaxon pulled me closer, his grip on my arm tighteni

“Wanna dance?” she purred, her voice low and needy, the kind that probably worked wonders on most guys she came across. I turned to face her fully, taking in her features. Her pretty eyes, the heart shape of her plump lips, the curve of her jaw, the way her dress clung to her immaculate figure, the whole package entirely. Objectively, she was a gorgeous woman. But I felt nothing. No spark at all of interest or adrenaline rush looking at her. Just a vague sense of annoyance.“I’m afraid I’m a terrible dancer,” I replied, offering what I hoped was a polite, but firm brush off. “You would be better off finding someone else to dance with.” I suggested calmly.But she wasn’t deterred, a brave woman if you ask me. Instead, she leaned closer, her hand grazing mine softly, sending a feeling of something unpleasant up my arm. “I could teach you,” she whispered, her lip curling into a playful bite. The message was clear. It wasn’t dancing she was after.My eyes narrowed as I stared her

-I just arrived the country little cutie. I'll come over-He was back? Finally! I felt extreme joy as I read his text. After years of his self imposed exile, he was finally back in the country. Alexander was my childhood best friend and the one person who truly understood me. Well..save Peter. But I met Peter a few years ago, but he’s still a good person and very observant. But Alexander said he was coming over. Did he perhaps mean tonight? Or tomorrow? My fingers flew across the keys on my phone as I typed out my message. -Do you mean tonight or tomorrow?-I texted back and his reply was almost instantaneous.-Not tonight Gan. I’m jet lagged so I’ll see you at the office tomorrow-Tomorrow then. I could wait. I really wanted to see how much he’s changed these past few years. Alexander has always had the looks of a Greek god, so I’m convinced he’d look even more enthralling, that’s if he has been taking care of himself. I turned back towards the gate, and saw Gavin’s car was still

"I know not to cross the line," he says, all innocent with a wink as he heads inside the office. I just shake my head and sigh as I follow after him. “I hope the schedule for today is not packed?” I asked as I took off my long coat and dropped it on the coat hanger. He looked at me and shakes his head as he picked up the coat and hanged it up properly.“Well, since you are expecting a friend I can free up some unimportant schedule and fix them for tomorrow. If that’s fine by you anyway.”“Yeah, that’s fine. First of all get all the documents needed for signing so I can get that done with.”“Yes boss.” He said as he turned to leave. Just as Peter was retreating, my phone buzzes with a phone call and Alexander’s name lights up the screen. “Hey, are you on your way now?” I asked him."Umm, I’m actually here already. I’m at the receptionist desk," He says and a genuine smile spreads across my face. "Okay buddy. Come right up." I said and he hangs up.Peter who had stopped on his steps
