CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

ALINA’S POVOh my actual God.You see this is the part where the earth should just open up and swallow me whole. The water in this sense. It should just open up, divide and then swallow me whole. Anything to get me away from this moment right now.What do you mean he was in the pool with me right now?? When did he leave the office? When did he get home, how was he here at this particular time??Lord, I ask for one thing. One thing only; to spend just 20 minutes of peace and quiet. Alone. 20 minutes to let go of all bad energy, why would the source of the bad energy itself be in the same pool with me? Why lord? Why??You really must hate me.“Are you doing okay over there?” his voice rang between us. A lazy smile on his face. His arms, his fucking toned arms stretched out behind him. Both of them resting comfortably on the pool’s concrete right above the pool while the rest of his body was lost in the waters. That didn’t mean you couldn’t see the outline of that strong muscular body.“

ROMAN'S POVCouple of minutes after she left I remained where I was. Partly speechless as to what had happened, how it happened. Soon after, I left the pool though. But the scene, it didn't leave my mind.It couldn't leave.At first my actions before all of these were just to tease her, rile her up until she maybe admitted to being wrong about Oxygen. That she actually enjoyed it. I mean she got a membership to explore the grounds.It was also reason for the porn stunt I pulled, although I didn’t expect it to work so well and reveal a whole lot. It was like getting a front row seat to watch a potent flower unveil it’s colors, Or a snail gradually crawl out from it’s shell deciding it was time to move.At any rate it was irresistible. I couldn’t resist. So by morning at the office, I sent stuff to her, called her, anything to get her boiling and face the obvious elephant in the room.But she still didn’t.Didn’t even come looking for me, glaring and what not. Then that’s when I realiz

ALINA’S POV“Sir,”“Consultant,”Okay.Guess that’s our greeting then. I cleared my throat, feet stepped forward to approach his desk even more now. He didn’t look at me, not with his face focused on the folders on his desk. I had to ask myself how he knew it was even me to begin with when I didn’t see him look up. “I have a erm… there’s a matter that needs your attention, sir. It’s about the wing.”No response. No looking up either to acknowledge me or what I was saying at least. “There’s been a mix up, sir.” I pressed, stern. “A mix up with the last batch of equipment needed to begin our setups at the Seraph wing. Our order has been called canceled by the suppliers. They said to resend our specifications or wait for another supply line, that can take months from now. Meaning more time needed, an extension of the wing launch.”“Extension?” he paused, setting his folder down. Guess that finally got his attention. “How did it happen? How did any of this happen, why did you let it happ

ALINA’S POVWe rode off to the airport like that. Reached there in no time, Jordan disappearing around the same time too. I could feel my heart just plummet to the bottom of my stomach the moment I took in the surrounding view around me. Confirming we were indeed at the airport, I was at the airport.“Ohhh,” I groaned silently, getting off the car. Sweating. My fingernails biting into each other despite my attempt to keep cool and all. The subtle roar of engines in the distance didn’t help matters too. If anything occasional whoosh sounds filled the air, signaling planes were leaving. Or landing. Whichever. All I knew right now was my problem. That I felt really hot right now but at the same time so cold. Sweating too, my mind creating more and more images of my impending embarrassment. How it’ll all happen.I didn’t even know how I would react at the counter or something. I’d never travelled before nor did I need to. But I could imagine right now that they wouldn’t let you pass throu

ALINA’S POV“Bastard.”Bastard. Bastard, Bastard!You’re a bastard, Roman Ward. BASTARD!!“Wish I can say it outloud.” I scoffed, rolling my eyes for the one billionth time. Shutting the door behind me, the lock clicking and lights coming on in our supposed ‘shared’ suite.“Good enough,” he commented, moving around for a bit. Like he’d been here before, done this a couple of times too.Some perverted bastard he was I’m sure.He wouldn’t be getting anything from me. Not even in my sleep.“So,” I stepped in, confident. Doing nothing like my internal self wanted. Run. “This is a shared suite, there’s obviously one bed, one shower, one closet which I will not be needing clearly. I can also see a very reasonable couch over there.”I pointed. Gesturing to the soft looking thing.“That’s pretty good for a night. I’ll-“Take the couch, I hope?”I paused. Blinked, “What?”“You’ll take the couch and I, the bed. Right?” he repeated, staring at me. Already taking off his cufflink and setting on t
