"His company was daunting." That was the first impression she got as she stood at the entrance. It was more massive than it looked on the television or the news. His office was on the very top floor and she had time to simmer down as the elevator ascended.When she came out, the workers, especially the males stared at her as she made her way to the boss's section. The only thing they didn't do was the whistle. They practically undressed her with their eyes.The ladies gave her a curious stare. some watched her with envy as she moved past their desk.They probably thought she was one of Enrique's women. His recent catch perhaps.No way in hell.She got to his office, noticing the lady behind the desk. she moved toward her.She seemed familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen her before. As she saw her target not too far from reach, she let her anger resurface again.Jasmin saw her approach. She appeared angry and she couldn't help but wonder why."Where is Enrique. I want to
APRIL POVMy fashion show was going to be a huge success, I can already picture it. Zerah had taken care of the guest list and with the names, I saw on the record, this show would be worth the investment.Enrique was also going to be there. I had avoided him after I had gone to confront him at his office.He was every shade of bad for me. I mean that in every possible way. Like how can I go over there to give him a piece of my mind, then end up being thwarted because of my damn attraction to him? I close my laptop rubbing my eyes. I was exhausted. I snatch up my bag, shuffling to the elevator. That's how tired I am. Can't even walk right.I get to the parking lot, fishing out my car keys as I ambled toward my car. I stop dead in my tracks once I get close enough, gasping as I stare at my tires. They were practically flattened on the floorIt was unbelievable, except it was cause I was staring right at it."What the bloody hell. This was serviced just some weeks back and now I have to
ENRIQUE strode out of the company, narrowing his eyes as he noticed a woman approaching him. She looked familiar to him. He tried to remember where he had seen her before as she finally stood in front of him looking anxious, but also awestruck."Oh my gosh you look so much hotter than the last time" Katherine gushed her eyes flickering."Do I know you" he questioned, his forehead furrowing together in confusion as he tried to place her."Yes. We met at that party held by Adams King. I had never attended such a gorgeous event and well April just had to ruin it by making me come home with her" she prattled until Enrique coughed raising a brow." Uh... Uh.. right. Am Katherine. April Sanders best friend. I saw you shoving your tongue down her throat so we couldn't be properly introduced" she says in all seriousness, fawning herself with her hand like she was on fire. Enrique looked shocked at her choice of wording. It must have shown on his face because Katherine retracted her words look
"Shit," Amor cussed almost tripping on her feet as she approached her car. She felt like someone was following her, hence her imbalance. She had an eerie feeling that something was wrong.She glanced back, noticing a guy strolling towards her. He didn't look scary or bad at all and she took a deep breath that she hadn't realized she'd been holding.She took out her car keys from her purse, proceeding to unlock her car door when it was jerked away from her hold. She flinched looking up at the guy. He had a taunting look on his face as he hovered over her. She frowned in confusion. "What do you think you're doing?" She demanded."My job" he smirked, twirling her car keys. "You look more pretty in person". He tilted his head to the side, looking her over.Amor was confused beyond words as she stared at him." Are you the new driver dad said he was sending?" she asked, trying to make sense of the situation. "No I am not," he said suddenly getting serious, then with fast strides, he was
Amor struggled to open her eyes. She succeeded after the third attempt. Everything was blurry and the voices she heard seemed to come from a distance.She shut her eyes and reopened them, taking a deep breath as everything started to clear. The deafening sound and thumping in her head started to fade. The voices were more familiar too. It was her father and her brother shouting for the doctor.The doctor showed up after a while, cross-examining her. He did his very best to convince her Dad that she was out of the woods and that she would feel better in a few days.Amor felt like hell. She grimaced in pain when she tried to move and wondered if the damn guy had broken her ribs.She craved a mirror. She pleaded to God she didn't look like a zombie.Her dad was talking to her but she found out that she had spaced out for a while." Baby. Talk to me. Who did this to you? Who hurt you this way" he asked looking older than he was, his hand shaking as he reached to touch her cheek. His eyes
Enrique drew his fist back, causing Brian to flinch, his eyes squinting close as he expected the hit.He opened his eyes to see Enrique examining his watch. He looked up from it, dropping his hand by his side. Enrique accessed him with a smirk."I don't consider you a competition, Brian," he said giving him a dismissive wave. He walked past him into Amor's room with a firm and precise movement that made him look dangerous.Brian adjusted his jacket looking around, noticing no one was around to witness what happened. A deep frown etched into his face.Enrique always managed to make him feel worthless which made him mad. He glared at the closed door, turned, and walked toward the reception area.******************April stared at the venue they would be using for the fashion show. Everything was coming along just perfect. It had already been a week and Brian, Amor, or Enrique didn't bother her. She had put all her energy into work and that outlet didn't let her have enough time to thi
APRIL POVI stared at the venue where I had been just the day before clutching at my broken phone tightly. There was a huge lump in my throat and my eyes burned. Unbearable ringing constantly plagued my ears.Zerah was saying something that I couldn't hear.I walked carefully around the huge stage, calculating the extent of the damages.It was all in ruins.My phone rings. I look down at it. It was Brian.I don't know why but I picked his call."Hello?""My dear April. Do you like the present I got you? I gotta say, It gave my boys a hard time but in the end, they got it done.Did a really good job for the heck of it I must say." He crooned. I look around at all the ruins, forcing myself to stay calm."You did this?" I asked and felt like the air was suddenly not enough for me to breathe in. My eyes burned with tears that I promise myself not to shed."Yes, I did but I can always make it all go away. You know what you have to do, April. Your show is this Saturday and with the way thi
***********Enrique stood by the side of his car as he watched April and Katherine talk. She had looked so sad when she came out of her car. Her eyes were red like she had been crying, her cheeks pale. He wanted to go to her, tell her that everything would be alright and that he would take care of it but he couldn't. She would never accept his help if she knew it was from him. It was better this way.She was laughing with Katherine, and she looked breathtaking. She was so strong that he couldn't help but admire her. He wanted her more than ever.She turned around, finally noticing him, and in that brief moment when her eyes connected with his. He saw the longing in her eyes. She was vulnerable for just a moment before she masked her feelings and walked towards him.She stood before him and all he could think about was pulling her closer, kissing her senselessly until she acknowledged her feelings for him.She wet her lips, making the temptation almost too hard to resist. He stuffed h
