Chapter: Chapter 10“Hello?I managed to say out of breath. I was still in a daze from a moment ago. I almost kissed Dante? Or maybe he almost kissed me. It didn’t matter anyway because he had dashed out when my phone rang.“Acadia!” Sebastian called out in a worried tone. “What happened last night? I looked everywhere for you but could not find you. It did not help when you were not taking my calls. Are you alright? He rushed out.“It’s a long story Seb, one that can not be talked about over the phone.”“Is everything alright? Do you mind talking over a cup of coffee?"I don't think that's a good idea," I replied to Sebastian's invitation, my voice still shaky. The memory of last night's events was too fresh, too raw. Plus, after what almost happened with Dante moments ago, I needed time to process my thoughts."Come on, you can't stay cooped up in your room forever," Sebastian pressed, his voice carrying that signature playful tone that somehow made everything seem lighter. "Plus, I got intel that they

Chapter: Chapter 9: Dangerous danceACADIAI was awakened by the sunlight seeping in through the window. I panicked immediately I looked around because the environment was not familiar. But I regretted instantly because the action caused a sharp pain in my head causing me to whimper. ‘What happened to me last night?’ I thought. I attempted to get down from the bed.“Easy”. A voice said. I turned to see Dante standing before me in a white tank top and grey shorts. My face contorted in a frown. ‘Why was he here? Where am I?’ as if he could hear the questions that I thought to myself.“I brought you in last night,” I stared at him, waiting for him to continue, not saying anything. He furrowed his eyebrows and continued. “don’t you remember what happened last night?I thought hard about what happened. I instantly had flashbacks of what happened last night. I remembered the attacker who almost attacked me and Dante coming to save me. I felt a sharp pain in my head and clutched my head in an attempt to reduce the intensity of

Chapter: Chapter 8: An Unexpected encounterDANTEIt was a struggle to control myself from snapping at anyone who looked at Acadia in a lustful way, the man she was with seemed like he held a very strong relationship with her. My initial background check of her showed no romantic relation with anyone but this guy looked at her as more than friends, finding the slightest chance to touch her. It annoyed me more that she let him do it. I almost let out the dilemma I was in when someone from the team proceeded to kiss her on the knuckles. I instantly found an excuse to take her from there. Still figuring out what to do with this obvious attraction towards her. Someone called out my name.“Dante” ignoring the prefix in my name. Only a few people were allowed to do that and get away with it. I turned and met with Sebastian. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. I have not seen him for a month. We’ve been inseparable since our younger days, sharing countless adventures and secrets. Now seeing him brought a wave of nostalgia to wash ov

Chapter: CHAPTER 7: War of LoveACADIA “Acadia.” Mr. Dante said as he stood in front of me. I turned towards him.“Mr. Dante” his eyes moved to Anderson and his hands, still on my waist. I watched his mouth subtly fold up in a frown. Was he mad that I brought a date on a business trip? “Who is this? He asked. It sounded a little rude but he was my boss, and I wouldn't be here if he didn’t approve of it.I fidgeted and looked at Anderson. “This is Anderson, my old time friend. We met at the hotel.” I offered the explanation not that it was necessary. But something about the way Mr. Dante was looking at me propelled me to clear up any misunderstanding. Mr. Dante’s eyes got dark with emotions for a split second and it was gone. Am I imagining things now? If looks could kill, Anderson would be lifeless on the marble floor from the daggers Mr. Dante sent him through his eyes. They stared at each other with so much heat and tension. Like they had been sworn down enemies before now. I cleared my throat to relieve the si

Chapter: Chapter 6: The PullDANTEI knew the new content writer, Acadia, was built differently from the first time I saw her. However, she surpassed expectations in just a short time. Her face looked familiar though, like I had seen her somewhere before. When we collided in the corridor the other day, I felt a strange pull towards her. Her blue ocean-like eyes were mesmerising, I couldn't look away. It was strange and so I did what I thought was right. I walked away without saying a word. Didn’t want to give her any wrong ideas. Shutting my office door, I felt strangely hot even though the air conditioning was on. What was happening to me? I never fell sick, my dietician made sure of it. Since that day, I have watched her every move and tracked her progress. She stood out everywhere she went and in all she did. I wasn’t surprised when she was nominated as the best employee of the month. A very important gala was coming up and my secretary has been the one to come with me for events like this. However, I had th

Chapter: Chapter 5: Whispers of AffectionACADIAOr rather, someone caught my attention. The person's eyes widened when they looked towards me."Acadia?" the person called."Anderson." I smiled and hugged him."Oh, my word, Anderson. How are you?"I'm fine Acadia, you look… as dashing as I can remember." "Thank you, you don't look bad yourself. What are you doing here? Last I remember you moved to Washington, D.C. with your girlfriend. By the way, how is she?" I asked. Anderson was my high school crush. His boyish grin was his highlight in high school, his blonde hair was always neatly arranged, I always liked him but he liked someone else. His girlfriend. I tried to keep in touch throughout the university but he ended up moving to another city to start a new life with his girlfriend. This made me sad, I archived his contact in order to gain closure of the situation. This had left me heartbroken for weeks but I was thankful for the opportunity to overcome my unrequited love.However, seeing him now seemed to awaken burie
