CHAPTER 4

—Is everything in order?

I don't know at what point it was that her father.

—It's all right. —Lucas said angrily.

He gives me one last warning look and leaves. I take a deep breath to calm down, but this time I feel no improvement and I just wanted to hit the first idiot who talks to me.

—Partner problems?

"No way" I turn my eyes to the person I least wanted to see since he is a very strange guy who pretends he doesn't know us very closely when the reality is different.

—That's none of your business. —I spat annoyed. I wanted to leave but he takes me by surprise when he grabs my arm —What are you doing... let me go.

He looks at me in a seductive way, my heart goes crazy as that same look is the one he possesses on his face when he and I... "what the hell is wrong with me, I shouldn't think about that now". I was nervous because he was getting too close

—Mey... is everything okay? —one of Lucas' friends arrived just in time to save me —Excuse me... do we know each other?

Lucas' father looks at him for a few moments, ignores his son's friend and keeps looking at me, smiles sideways and then replies to Tayler that he just wanted to meet his son's girlfriend, something that left me dumbfounded, I thought he would say something else, not that he would introduce himself as my ex boyfriend's father.

Tayler of course greeted him excitedly saying that his friend had talked a lot about his father and that he would be coming to visit him soon, while they talked about their absurd things, I slipped away and got as far away from both of them as I could until I finally felt safe in my room

—You look like you saw a ghost. —My roommate laughed, "Didn't you see yourself in the mirror?

I rolled my eyes and ignored her out—of—place comment. I told her that Erika was no longer my friend and that she couldn't come back into my room, she looks at me with surprise saying that it's something that even I wouldn't believe since she knows that our friendship goes back years.

—I'm serious. —I said sternly —Don't let her in here anymore, besides, I'm telling you that she was the one who told everyone about your "problem". She went through your left drawer page 27.

She stops smiling. If I see that bitch again, I'm going to kill her.

—I don't care about that, you can kill her and dump her body in the woods, in fact, you'd be doing me a huge favor if you get rid of her.

She looks at me in amazement and then walks away with a mocking laugh, but not before telling me that I was crazier than she was. But if I knew what she did to me, I'd want to kill her too. I was locked in there doing a thesis when I heard my roommate come in and break down the door.

—Hey, you can't throw the door like that or it will cost us money if you damage it.

—Really? —I immediately got up from my place —Well, actually there is no problem for me, I will be able to pay for the damage.

I froze when I saw them in my room, what the hell do you think you are doing being here at this time of night and more so on campus!

—You can't be here, if the manager notices....

—Oh, yeah right, I found him and told him I wanted to see if you were okay since your roommate was gone and you were feeling sick.

He was wearing jeans, he looked so sexy indeed, very tight, a t—shirt and a black leather jacket, my mind imagined beyond what it should and my eyes enjoy the masculine beauty of my ex's father, the fragrance of his perfume takes over my room, he smelled exquisite indeed.

—That's absurd. —No one would believe what he's saying —He'd better leave or else....

—Otherwise... what? —The stern way he was looking at me made me keep silent. He was in front of me, he takes a lock of my hair, he takes my chin so that I look him in the eyes. —I told you that night, once I take something, I get it at any cost, I don't care if you are my son's girlfriend or not, you belong to me and we both know that perfectly well.

My lips were tempted by his when he made a sensual brush that made me nervous, he realizes he is getting what he wants and that is what annoyed me the most so I did what I least expected, I started to scream as loud as I could but I didn't do it for long as he covered my mouth with his hand.

—What the hell do you think you're doing?

—You'd better leave... —He frowned because he didn't understand anything I said so he looked at me annoyed and warned me that if I scream again he will be forced to use force —I said you'd better leave, I'm not a diversion of an old green tail who uses his power to get whatever he wants.

—Who do you think you're talking to?

—I don't care who he's talking to. I just know he's a fucking stalker who thinks he can bully me because he's rich, but what does he think? Pudrase....

He takes over my lips in a voracious kiss, his beard stung my cheeks but it was still mesmerizing and captivating the way he kisses, my body knows it's him because in a few seconds I felt him burning me so intensely that I felt like my clothes were getting in the way.

—Maya!!!.... —I abruptly pulled away from him when I heard Sofi outside in the hallway —I forgot my keys, can you open up for me!!!!!

—Dammit, dammit!!!....

I knew I shouldn't let this happen and yet I am so pathetically weak for this man I barely know that I played along with his damn game.

He grabs my chin, he seems to be mocking me for being angry and in trouble because of his fucking guilt.

—I heard from my son that you were looking for a job. —He leaves a card in my hand as I look at him in confusion, "There is an opening in my companies. —He opens the door and my partner looks at him in bewilderment.

He left leaving me more confused than at the beginning, how did he get away with this, he got away with it, the bastard! My roommate closed the door and started questioning me about him, I was about to sum it up by telling her that he was Lucas' father, but I thought better of it and told her that he was a friend of my father's who had sent him for a job offer.

Getting her off my back was harder than I thought since she didn't seem to believe me and I was unsure since I didn't know if she knew Lucas' father, the biological one.

I stayed all night thinking about whether or not I should go to that job interview, but I thought that after what had happened between us I would get an excellent position and the pay would be good for my university studies, so I made a resume and the next day I took a cab and went to the address shown on the card, I showed up on time and when I arrived the girl told me that they were waiting for me for my position.

As I walked I could see that I would not be doing so bad after all, I asked her when I would see the president but she said he was busy but she had taken care of everything and when she told me what my position would be I stopped my walk since I would not be anyone's messenger.

—Miss... Mr. Santoro was my clear when he said his name and the position he would have....

I stopped listening to her when I heard Erika's excited voice I stood still on my place when I heard that she had stayed with him since I thought he would give me, his secretary.
