Semua Bab CAPTIVATED BY HIS DARK DESIRES : Bab 21 - Bab 30

CHAPTER 21"This way." The woman's word pulled her attention making her quickly snap out.Alyssa's eyes widened as she took in the space, her gaze drifting over the expensive artwork, the crystal decanter on the sideboard, and the leather-bound books that lined the shelves. She felt a sense of intimidation wash over her, as if she didn't quite belong in such rarefied surroundings.They got the the office and the door opened. Walking in, they met the presence of a woman walking on her laptop with full focus. She looked up at them and Alyssa almost gasped in her lungs as she recognized her to be the lady from the commercial. Everything indeed is more beautiful in reality than screens. They walked to her table. The lady's focus went back to her laptop."Was she the one causing commotions outside?" She was obviously asking the receptionist which amazed Alyssa. News really runs fast her."Yes. And she said she was insearch of a job."

CHAPTER 23Alyssa sat down and pulled out her notebook, her pen poised and ready. Ms. Kim launched into a discussion about the potential client, discussing their needs and expectations. Alyssa took detailed notes, her mind racing with questions and ideas.As the meeting progressed, Alyssa found herself becoming more and more engaged. She asked thoughtful questions and offered suggestions, impressed by the way Ms. Kim handled the meeting with ease.After the meeting, Ms. Kim turned to Alyssa and nodded in approval. "Good job, Alyssa. You took good notes and asked insightful questions. You're learning."Alyssa felt a surge of pride and satisfaction. It was a small compliment, but it meant a lot coming from Ms. Kim."Thank you, Ms. Kim," Alyssa said, smiling. "I'll keep working hard."Ms. Kim nodded, her expression serious. "I expect nothing but your best, Alyssa. Now, let's get back to the office. We have a lot of work to do."

CHAPTER 25Alyssa couldn't sleep that night. She kept on tossing on the bed. This was a deep thought heavy on her chest and there was no one she could share it with. Amelia had gone for her night shifts, Naina was out of town and Samantha was asleep. The whole house was as quiet as a grave yard.She stood up and walked to the window, pulling it wide open, she watched and listened to the sound of the cold breeze, the birds, the night shadows and anything else that lurks in the dark just inorder to find peace. Her eyes closed as she inhaled, then stopped.She scented something strong, toxic and familiar. A scent she would never forget. Opening her eyes slowly, she tried to confirm and there he was.Standing in the middle of the shadows like a knight in shining armor. The moon gave glims of his black straing long coat, hair silked perfectly. His cold and hard stair piercing throw her soul.She jolt back in horror making hefty steps as she al

CHAPTER 27As their lips touched, The door opened."Boss, the files and details are here -" It was Griffin. He immediately paused on seeing what he had walked into.Alyssa immediately jumped away, pushing Rylan off. "Erhm... I-I.." she cleared her throat. Her head down."I'll get going." She quickly picked up her documents and rushed off.Griffin turned to Rylan and the anger was surely visible in his eyes. His jaw clenched."Sir I -""When next you walk into my office without knocking, you'll be a dead man." He warned before walking back to his seat.He had gotten right the chance to one again, taste her. A delicate plumpy pink lips which had been leaving him haunted for so long, a yet, such wonderful moment was destroyed.He didn't know whether to lash out or destroyed everything, anything. Or....If it had one been someone else then he would have made sure to drain the li

CHAPTER 29ALYSSA'S POVI couldn't say it. I didn't dare to. Cause I know the consequences that could come with it. My heart thundering in my chest as Rylan caged me in with his arms. I couldn’t breathe. Or maybe I just didn’t want to. His scent intoxicating and familiar wrapped around me like a slow, dangerous fire.I couldn’t speak. My lips parted, but no sound came. His nearness scattered my thoughts, left them trembling like my fingertips now gripping the edge of the counter.He was so close. Too close.My head screamed for space, for logic, for distance but my body leaned into him before I could stop it.“I told you that we have nothing to do with each other. We've got our separate lifes to leave.” I finally whispered, barely holding on.His eyes dropped to my lips. “Then why do you still look at me like this?”I looked down, ashamed that he noticed. Ashamed that I couldn’t hide it.He li
