Cynthia's POV"On your knees. Beg for it."My head snapped up from the file the moment that sharp, authoritative male voice cut through the café and reached my cabin. It sounded familiar.Too painfully familiar.I immediately left my seat and ran out to find the staff huddled in a circle while the customers were watching everything in shock and surprise, whispering among themselves.

Now call your boss.”My ears turned red and hot as I heard that voice after years. My heart started pounding in my chest, praying he is not the one I am thinking of.But my fate laughed at me when the staff stepped aside and revealed the man who had made my heart beat earlier too, but in a different way.Lucien Vaughn, dressing in all black – shirt, pants, shoes, coat, tie, every single thing.
