The building which housed her and her ex-lover for over five years still stood there looking the same.Tears swell in her eyes. She mounted the stairs up to apartment '7832' Yes.

Chapter #Ava's POVA ray of light shone on my face, waking me up from my peaceful sleep.I squinted my eyes as I tried to open them. Something about this morning feels different. It feels...cozy!I threw my eyes open at last and almost jumped out of bed.My messy head and hair lay firmly on a muscular arm stretching far to the other side cornering around my back!My thighs lay high and curved on top of strong abs which is someone's stomach. Drexel's stomach!I froze in bed.I tried to move my leg but he stirred. I stiffened.Then he was motionless again.Slowly, I began to pull my leg, stopping when he stir, until it was completely off his.I rolled away and sat up ready to jump down from the bed."Hey, messy kitten" A drowsy voice called.Damn, he sounds so so..I don't know!I stopped in my track. "You are up so early huh? Ready to get those resources flowing now?" He askedI squeezed my eyes shut. Unbelievable!How can that be the first thing he is talking About?"Good morning, sl
"Get my new coat" ordered Sarafina. She's been thinking ever since she saw the news.After much thought, she decided that it is time to pay Albertrosso a visit to his quarters.Sarafina and Albertrosso meet only on schedule. The mafia lord has set a strict rule that his wife is not allowed in his chambers unless when invited or it is an emergency.Earlier that day, she sent a message to him that she will be paying him a visit by noon.Sarafina put on a long armless gown, which hugs her skin to the knees where it parted with a slit and a flare.Red is the color for a meeting like this. She aims to capture Albertrosso with her alluring look. Though she is well into her fifties, she looked stunning in the dress.On getting to the large entrance, the guard opened the door for her and greeted her, bowing his head slightly, "Good day ma'am"Sarafina with her chin held up high merely grunted a "Hm" reply without turning to look his way.Just as she appeared, she was taken aback by Albertross
Drex POVI can't believe I am doing this! She said it as a mere suggestion; a passing thought.At first, I discarded the idea, that I do not need to play in power politics to bring Albertrosso down but later, it struck me.In this game, the best way to make an opponent deploy all their secret weapon is when they feel threatened.So, I decided to heed Ava's advice. There's so much more to her than meets the eye.Sometimes, I end meetings in a hurry just to be around her. She has not realized it yet, but most of her statements hold one or two brilliant ideas. Maybe because she feels less panic than she initially felt. I have also noticed that my countenance and moods have been a lot more stable than usual; with fewer mood swings, and more focus.It all depends on how her state of mind.As I head back home from the office, her thoughts preoccupied my mind.Suddenly my phone rang- Tyler"Yes?""Hey boss, there is a special message for you..." Said Tyler over the phone."Who is it from?"
