Chapter 21 - Don Demarco

Mikhail's POV“Sir, we have a problem.” Dimitri's voice sounded from the phone's speaker as I watched the lady walking out of the building with some people.She brushed her hair behind her ears, smiling as the others kept talking. Their eyes widened in surprise and one of them took out their phone and yelled something out loud.“Sir,” Dimitri called.I snapped out of my daze and focused on the phone. “Go on.”“Okay, those people are back,” he announced, and my brows drew together. “I got information that one of their members has slipped into the company Cal is working at. I'm afraid the person is one of her colleagues.”My gaze returned to the scene ahead and I watched her scan the area as though searching for someone.“Anything else?”“We couldn't get the person's name and I'm still searching for more information. However, I heard this person opened a bar down your street, so you and Cal have to be watchful. Make sure she doesn't go to any of the bars around there.”My jaw tightened,

Calista's POV“Cheers!” Fara and the others clicked their glasses across the table. I smiled shyly as they gulped down the alcohol eagerly. Katrina was the biggest drinker of them all. She grabbed a bottle of alcohol and flipped it before her thumb flicked the cap off.“Wooo!” The others cheered in awe, clapping their hands. She smirked, her chest rising proudly as she grabbed another bottle and flipped it up.Our heads tilted backwards to follow the bottles. My hands clenched my dress tightly as the image of the bottles breaking filled my head while they slowly fell.Surprisingly, she caught the bottles and popped the caps, and foam spilled over the rim.“Woohoo! That was so good!” Lucas exhaled, sliding his glass to her for the first serving. Katrina smiled at him, taking the glass from his grasp. His eyes followed her, his lips slightly parted, and my face scrunched in confusion as I wondered what was wrong with him.His face flushed as his eyes stayed on her almost fervently. Katr

CALISTADimitri shut the car door, and he wrapped my arm around his neck as he led me to the house. Katrina sat in the car quietly, and I noticed the change in her expression when she saw Dimitri. At first, I did not think too much about it and assumed my drunken state was messing with my head.“Can you walk from here?” Dimitri asked, holding me steady in front of my door. I nodded and pulled my arm away from him, resting my weight on the wall. My hand went to my purse and I took out my phone, my vision doubling.I shook my head and squinted to see what the time was. 10:04 PM.It was very late.“Are you sure you're okay? You will be the only one left at home after I leave,” he said, and I nodded.“I'll be fine. Go take Katrina home. She's waiting,” I shooed him off.He glanced at me one last time before leaving. I turned, opened the door, and stumbled inside, shutting it behind me. I kicked off my heels and they went flying across the room, and along the way, I removed my shirt and th

1: CALISTA“What? Wait, I did what?” I blinked in confusion.Lucas looked around in panic before urging me toward my workspace. He wheeled himself over.“Look, before you left, Mrs. Parker asked you why you returned to this place, with all the good credits you have,” he started, and I nodded along.“Okay?”“And you told her you did it to get away from someone. Someone in your past you didn’t want to have anything to do with anymore,” he added, and my heart sank.“D-did I really say that out loud in front of everyone?” I grabbed my purse tightly, my heart slamming against my chest.“Yes, you did. It was a truth game, remember? It’s part of the tradition to test how committed you are to this job. Mrs. Parker’s ritual.” He slapped his thigh. “Look, it’s not that bad. I completely understand it’s a breakup you don’t want to remember, but slapping Mrs. Parker because of it was… very extreme, Calista.”“Katrina had to force you out of the chaos and drag you home. It was horrible,” he sighed

CALISTA“When can I see you again? I mean outside work,” the man asked, walking behind me.“I don’t know. I have lots of things to do,” I answered, stepping into the elevator. I pressed the 13th floor and stepped back, staring at him.He looked at me, smiling as the doors slid shut. After making sure he was gone, I exhaled heavily, holding my chest.I took out my phone and went through Mikhail’s message again.“He’s injured and still wants to pick me up?” I frowned. My eyes drifted to the elevator display, watching the number rise to the sixth floor. I still had plenty of time.My finger swiped across my phone before I pressed it to my ear. It rang for a moment before Mikhail picked up.“Mikhail?” I called, listening.Instead of a response, I only heard heavy breathing in the background.“Is everything okay over there?” I asked, frowning.“I’m sorry… mmmph!” A weak whimper came through, and my frown deepened.“Mikhail?” I called again.“I’m here,” his rough voice came shortly after. “
