POVMillieThis is it.He's found out a lot sooner than I expected.I’m sitting in my temporary room on the bed when the calls start rolling in. I watch his number pop up over and over and then he texts me.X: Baby please call me Those words break my heart.I know I’ll give in if I keep staring at the phone. I block him, not because I want to, but because it’s for the best.Our worlds couldn’t be more different and one of us will even up being heartbroken in the end, high chances it will be me. I’ve been heartbroken too many times in the last few years and not particularly relationship-wise but just in general and I can’t take anymore.Steph texts meHe knows, Julian won’t stop calling me. I finally had to pick up and I told him you were able to start your lease early. I don’t know if he bought it though. just wanted you to be aware. I text her backI know, thanks steph Ugh, why is this happening?I hear Chase gently knock on the door “Hey Millie, dinner is done.”I’m not even hung
POVXWhen we land back in California, I immediately go back to my house to find answers.I'm feeling betrayed by everyone right now and it’s just fueling the rage in me. Millie leaving was done so planned and sneakily, they found the perfect opportunity to wait until I was out of the country to do this.I should just let Millie be and say fuck her for leaving but I know why she left, she doesn’t feel safe anymore, and there are too many outsiders on her case. I want to show her I can keep her safe and rid of anyone who’s giving her a hard time, I just want to be around her and I know she wants the same or she wouldn’t have given in to me the night before I left.When I arrive at the house, I go straight to Stephanie’s room and bang on the door.Stephanie opens the door and I barge in letting myself through.“Where is she, Stephanie?” I demand.“X…” she says cautiously.“Don’t even think about fucking lying to my face right now, I know she’s not in her new apartment,” I say enraged.S
POVMillieI'm sitting on the guest bed e-mailing Marlene when I'm startled by a loud banging noise coming from Chase’s front door.“Where is she prick?!” I hear someone say, oh my god, no…X?I hear loud shuffling and doors being opened and closed and then he suddenly barges through mine.I’m pretty sure my mouth is wide open in shock at the sight of actually seeing X here. He looks like a madman right now standing in the doorway out of breath, hair messy, and looking like he’s been lacking sleep, but nonetheless absolutely handsome at the same time. This man couldn’t look unattractive if he tried.I push away my dreamy thoughts, “Wh-what are you doing here?” I say weakly.“No Millie, the real question is what the fuck are you doing here?” he asks snakily.Chase comes running through the door, “Millie!” he says breathlessly.“Get the fuck out!” X says and sears his eyes into Chase, if looks could kill, he’d be 6 feet under right now.Chase looks at me worried, more for me than for him
POVMillieX is parked in the front of the apartment building in a nice-looking black car. I open the door and he’s got an earpiece in talking to someone. I stay quiet and try not to eavesdrop but it’s literally impossible because I’m right next to him. I grab my phone for distraction, I got a text from Steph about an hour ago.Steph: X just came here demanding to know where you are, he wouldn’t take no for an answer so I caved and said you were at Chase’s. He doesn’t know the address but when this guy wants something he will find a way to get it. I’m just giving you a heads-up he may be able to find itI text her backMe: yeah.. I’ve been found…I hear X starting to get pissed off, “Tell him if it’s not done by tomorrow at 7 am then he’s going to be dealing with me,” he says while radiating power and hangs up.I almost feel bad for whoever he’s talking about, even though I don’t know the situation. I keep my head down looking at my phone like I wasn’t just trying to piece that conver
POVXWhen I’m done with my stressful calls, I’m exhausted from the day. I walk out of my office and see my bedroom door is creaked open with the lights on. I knock lightly on the door but no response, I peek in and she’s sleeping beautifully in my bed.The TV is on, and so are the lights, I start turning the lights off, and… what the fuck was she watching? Ah god, don’t tell me this girl likes these kinds of shows I think to myself and shake my head.I take the remote out of her soft hand and she shifts her body when I do so. She looks like a fucking angel sleeping so peacefully. I turn off the bullshit show she was watching and walk out of my room closing the door behind me and go to the couch to relax.After about ten minutes of relaxing, there’s a knock at my front door and I roll my eyes at whoever it is. I grunt and open the door to see Adria standing there with her arms crossed around her chest“What Adria?” I ask annoyed.She lets herself in and asks, “So? What happened in Mad

POVXI’m fully clothed now and in my office, Millie left ten minutes ago.I wanted this girl so fucking bad today but I ruined it by moving too fast. We did even fuck and it was the most sexually enticing experience I’ve had, which is saying a lot because I’ve had many threesomes, foursomes, and more.Millie has taken my desire to a whole new level. I should’ve known better that she’s not like these other girls who just give it up in a second, she’s a girl who needs time.I need to somehow deal with Adria too, Millie isn’t going to want to continue anything with me if she’s always overthinking everything.I get her fear of Adria, she’s a powerful woman and even most men don’t want to fuck with her. I need to stop obsessing over this and get started on work already.I open up my laptop and see an e-mail from Ray, my private investigator, and open it before even looking at any of the other emails that are probably more important. I asked Ray last week to give me a report on Chase. I wa
POVMillieI make it to Steph’s office only getting lost twice.The third-floor hallway is gorgeous, with beautiful light fixtures throughout the halls with cool beige walls, and all the doors, which belong to some of the big shots here are just as nice as X’s, all black with gold touches.Steph’s office is towards the end of the east hallway with a gold metal plaque on the side of the door that reads 321 Stephanie Taylor.A few other doors are reading other people's names too. I knock on the door and hear her say come in. When I walk in she’s sitting behind a mahogany desk with a comfortable-looking white chair behind it. The walls are a light slate blue and with beautiful landscape photos of sceneries from other countries.On her desk sits a laptop, phone, notebooks, pens, and small green plants, it’s so cute in here. She stands up and hugs me.“Give me one sec Mills, I’ll get you a chair,” Steph says leaving me for a minute and coming back with a folded white plastic chair.“Thanks
