AlyssaI walked into the The Vue restaurant, one of the many restaurants White Enterprise owns, it’s by far the best in the city.I was a little late due to some unfinished work, I had sent my driver to pick up Sophia first, just like I promised her I would when we had a call yesterday.I saw her right away.She was sitting at a table near the window looking a little nervous, when she saw me her eyes got wide as she jumped up from her chair so fast it almost fell over."Alyssa!" she squealed and she ran over to me and threw her arms around me in a big, tight hug.A few people at other tables looked over at us with weird glances. They probably thought we were being too loud but who cares, I hugged her back just as tight. It felt so good to see her again. "Sophia," I said my voice a little choked up. "It's so good to see you."We finally let go and sat down at our table."You look amazing!" Sophia said, her eyes shining. "This place is so fancy and thr driver I can't believe it!"I s

AlyssaThe car pulled up to the big hotel where the ceremony was being held as soon as the door opened the noise hit me. Flashing lights. Shouting voices. A wall of paparazzi.It made my stomach twist, I wasn’t used to this sort of attention and it was going to take a while before I get accustomed."Ms. White! Over here!""Alyssa! Are you back as CEO for good?""Is it true you're cutting affairs Damon Johnson's company?"I froze for a second blinded by the lights but Ares strong arm wrapped firmly around my waist, he pulled me close tucking me against his side using his own body to shield me from the worst of the crowd to which I was greatful for.What will I do without Ares these days?"Keep walking," he murmured his voice a low command in my ear. "Don't stop and don’t answer them."He pushed forward a solid force moving us through the pile of people as I kept my head down letting him guide me. The questions kept coming but they sounded muffled and far away with his warmth it’s f

Alyssa I walked to the podium the lights feeling a little bit too bright in my stinging eyes, with many people were watching me and the cameras flashing it made my stomach churn in fear, I didn’t want to mess up.Clearing my throat, "Good evening," I began my voice clear and strong. "Thank you all for coming…. I am Alyssa White, the CEO of White Enterprise."I talked about my late father's dream for the company, about my plans for the future. I talked about new projects and I. made sure I sounded strong and in control even though I was mentally losing it.When I finished my speech I said, "I will now take a few questions."Many reporters put their hands up at once.A woman from a business news channel spoke first. "Ms. White can you confirm that White Enterprise is ending all business with Johnson Holdings? And can you tell us why?"I looked straight at the camera. "Yes I can confirm that we are ending our partnership with Johnson Holdings It is a business decision."Another reporte

Alyssa I waited for him all night but he never showed, I know I shouldn’t be worried about him after our argument, after what he said to me but he took a bullet for me.I could nearly sleep last night my ming kept seeing it. The gun. The man. The loud bang. Ares grunting in pain. The blood on his white shirt.Where was he?He did not come to my room, he did not call me or drop a message that he was fine.Nothing.I was so worried. Was his arm okay? Was the bullet still in there? Did he see a doctor? Was he in a lot of pain? Did he get hurt again after I left.The night felt very long as I watched the clock on my wall. One hour passed. Then two. Then three. Till morning and he still didn’t return.I got out of bed not not bothering to change from my sleep shorts and a tank top as I walked out of my room and went downstairs.I saw one of the maids all of them working towards their assigned tasks."Good morning Ms. White," she said."Good morning," I answered my voice was rou

Ares I walked into her home office, finding her lost in thoughts as she stared deeply at the paperwork’s informer of here. It’s been three days since th incident and she hasn’t been able to wrap herself around what had happened, it’s like the adrenaline had faded leaving behind a pale shaken version of Alyssa White. She snapped out of her train of thoughts as her sharp intelligent eyes went straight to my bandage on my arm. She was still worried about me I could see a flicker of something like worry, fear crossed her face before it was replaced by a careful neutral mask. “How’s your arm?,” she asked her tune was quiet. “It’s better,” I replied sounding. “I told you it’s just a graze. It’s been handled.” I stayed by the door refusing to move closer. The space between us felt like a mile-wide canyon. I could still feel the ghost of her body against mine when I pulled her to my arms, her innocent scent. Fuck! I’ve never wanted something so bad yet I couldn’t have it. “The
