KRIS:
Working at Ross Inc. wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be.
Well take out the part of Lucian being the boss.
Today makes it a week since I bumped into him. The only way I've survived this long is by staying clear of his path.
I make sure to arrive early and leave once it's the closing hour. It's been working since he comes after all employees and leaves when the building is empty.
That's not to say I enjoy working here but he didn't really give me much of a choice. It makes me feel like his puppet. Knowing I wouldn't see him again once my program ends is the only way I console myself.

KRIS:"Good morning". I greeted Dean, blowing him a kiss as I sauntered past him to my desk. He caught it and grinned back cheekily.I got to the position of my desk but was greeted by an empty space. My gaze travelled around the large room to see if it might have been moved to another spot but I found no empty table."Umm...Dean?" I called out to him."Yeah,""Did you see anyone take my desk out? I can't find it". I turned towards him."Nope. You should ask Adrain. He might know something about it". He shrugged, returning his attention back to his computer screen.

KRIS:I felt a sense of Deja Vu.He lifted his head, his dark eyes meeting mine. There was so much intensity in them, I gulped involuntarily.My eyes wandered down and I swallowed. He was wearing a double pocket short sleeved button-down that hugged him tightly with the first three buttons undone, revealing his tattooed chest. The exposed part of his arms were also covered in tatts.My gaze travelled back to his face. Strands of his hair were on his face. I licked my lips at the sight. His eyes never left me.He was sinfully beautiful.The towel covering my

KRIS:I woke up on a hard and warm body, with an arm wound tightly around my waist.Mmm… A girl should wake up this way every morning...Waking up next to Tyler was almost the best feeling in the world.Eyes still closed, I stretched an arm over his taut washboard abs, letting out a contented sigh.With a smile etched on my face, I opened my eyes but I wasn't expecting what I saw.A tattooed chest.Huh, Tyler doesn't have tattoos. Or he got a new one?

KRIS:It was a week from Thanksgiving so I returned home to spend time with my mom.Call it a break from my crumbling life.I got out of my car and walked towards the front door, pulling my suitcase behind me. Getting to the door, I tried the handle and it was opened so I let myself in."Mom! I'm home". I called, getting into the living room."Ohh Baby!!". She ran from the kitchen, barreling into me.I chuckled, embracing her tightly. Sometimes she made me feel like I was the mom with her ever jolly attitude.God. I've missed her. I though

KRIS:"Honey, wake up". Mom tapped me gently.I groaned in frustration, pulling the covers tightly against me."Mom let me sleep". I muttered, eyes still closed."No baby. This is the third time you're napping today. Are you sure you're fine?". She asked and I felt my bed dipped."I'm okay mom". I replied.Sleeping was one thing I did a lot so it was totally normal to me."You've been sleeping a lot lately". She pressed a hand to my head to feel my temperature."Mom, I'm fine". I replied

KRIS:The sound of footsteps heading to my room brought me back to reality. Not wanting whoever it was to see my tears streaked face, I dashed into the bathroom to wash my face."Kris, I'm back baby". Violet screeched.She just returned from her parents place where she'd gone for Thanksgiving. I'd returned immediately after Thanksgiving, not wanting to spend an extra day so I could figure out my life. I didn't want my mom getting worried."Kris?". She called, entering my room just as I exited the bathroom."Yeah baby". I smiled, striding towards her. "I missed you". I got to her, throwing my arms around her.&nb

KRIS:The ringing of my phone woke me up. Picking it from my nightstand, I saw the caller was Lucian. I ignored the call.He'd been calling for the past one week but I wasn't ready to face him. He also sent lots of texts that I also ignored.Glancing at my phone again, I saw it was just six in the morning. Violet was going for her morning run by 6:30am. Most times, she dragged me along but I didn’t want to go with her because my bed was calling to me and I wouldn’t want to ignore it. Keeping my phone on the nightstand, I went back to sleep, pulling the covers over me.I woke up moments later to a booming voice, coming from the living room. It was loud enough for me to figure out who it was w

I couldn't keep him hanging anymore.Getting to him, he stood up from his seat and gave me a smile but his eyes told a different story.He was worried.He pulled me into a tight embrace and pecked my cheek when he pulled away.
