Anna stepped forward, having had enough of this. She felt so many emotions overwhelming her, but most of all it was regret. She should have just said no to Ethan, she thought. She shouldn’t have gone to lunch with him today. Maybe this wouldn’t be happen.“Please stop.” She begged the two men, but it all fell on deaf ears, as they weren’t even paying attention to her now.Anna felt like everything was going out of control. She never intended for this to happen! Ethan however couldn’t imagine that William would be this uncontrolled. He didn’t expect his brother to react this way. Of course, in the privacy of their own home and Pack, he would probably beat the tar out of him. But here? In public? Where humans could see? It was unfathomable that his strict in lifestyle - save for the vices of women and clubbing - brother would be acting this way.But he couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle as the saying went. It would be cowardly of him to do so and Ethan, manipulative though he

That same night, just a few minutes past midnight, a strange man wearing a hoodie walked up to the entrance of the Fairland Club.The bouncer who tood at the entrance cocked a brow at the man whose face he didn’t see. Why would someone be coming into the club at this time? It was already near closing time, and even regular clubgoers were slowly emptying out of the club.“Whaddaya want?” He asked the hooded man in a gruff voice. He idly noticed the man was tall, just as tall as he was. “What’s your name?”“I’m looking for someone.” The hooded stranger’s voice was a decidedly British lilt. “The man left the club with this woman. Tell me if you recognize her.” He fished out a picture within a split second and showed the bouncer.The bouncer pressed both lips together, his eyes narrowed onto the girl’s face.Seconds later, he stated. “Don’t know her. She pretty though. What, is she your girl?”“She’s dead.” The man stated. The bouncer grunted.“Shame,” he shrugged. “Too bad I don’t know a

The receptionist fell silent, and Anna watched the woman assume a more serious tone.“Yes… I mean, I don’t-“Bearing a weary expression, she turned to Anna and asked snottily, “What was your name again?”Anna gave it, and the receptionist paled.“S-she’s here.” The blonde finally said on the phone and the receptionist paled even further after some seconds. Anna raised a brow at the woman because she could now pick out a loud voice on the other side even from where she sat. Whoever it was was very angry.The receptionist stammered, “Y-Yes. I’m sorry, sir. Yes, sir.”Then she dropped the call and trembling, she stood up.“Come with me, miss.” She didn’t look at Anna now, her face burning. There was something akin to shame or terror or anger burning in her eyes however, and Anna felt a hint of satisfaction. The blonde had acted all high and mighty after all. It was pleasant to see her flail.Looking like she had just seen a ghost, the receptionist took Anna to the elevator.“Press the bu

Anna checked the things on the desk more than three times. It was already 11.56am and she hadn’t seen nor heard anything about the man she was PA to. A quick search made her aware of his name - Damon Erikson. A man of many talents, the Forbes article had said. But aside from that, he had barely any discernible information on the web.At exactly 12pm, all of that changed as a hush broke out in the entire top floor.“Welcome back, sir.” Anna raised her head as she heard that and saw a handsome man walking up to her and the CEO’s office.Was this him?Anna’s eyes ran up and down the man’s figure, committing it to memory. He was tall, just as tall as William, and just as impeccably dressed. He wore sunglasses too, and she couldn’t see his eyes well.She stood up awkwardly as he reached where she was.“Anna, isn’t it?” The voice of the man was a posh London accent, one which definitely could make women swoon. He held out his hand to her. “You’re my new PA. Congratulations.”Anna said thank

Anna was escorted up the stairs by Ethan as he led her back home after the date.The night had been wonderful, and she felt lighter, like things were turning up in a positive direction for once. He had acted like a gentleman, turning up the charm by a lot.However, she had been unable to broach the subject on her mind with him. So when they stopped right at her front door, she pressed her hand against his chest to stop him from leaning in to kiss her.“Ethan,” she sighed softly. “I wanted to ask… after your fight with William, what happened?”Ethan was prepared for this. She had been acting off nearly the entire night.“I got exhausted and wanted to rest.” He replied easily. “I told you, didn't I? In my message. It wasn’t exactly the right time for me to reach out.”Anna felt bad for thinking he was lying to her, and she felt angry at William for causing all of that.“From now on, don’t stay away.” She implored him. She may not have felt the same sort of spark for him that she felt fo
