He drove feeling frustrated that despite the reward he was yet to get tangible information concerning Alicia .His phone rang , being desperate for any news at all he slowed down on the highway and picked the call from the private number “ yes ?” he said .The voice on the line was clearly altered as it sounded electronic so he couldn't tell if it were a woman or man speaking .

River's POVI woke up to the sound of incessant pounding on my door, I looked over at Sammantha who had fallen fast asleep on the couch. “Samantha.” I called but she just gave a sleepy response, I rolled my eyes slightly irritated at what a sound sleeper she was.The pounding continues, my heart skips a beat as I turn to see the time. Who the heck would be pounding on someones door by 3:am in the morning!Could it be buglar or something? I wouldn't be surprised he got past the lazy security man downstairs. I tired to ignore it but if wouldn't ceaseThinking of what to use to protect myself, I remembered we have a baseball bat in the kitchen.

River's PovI pinched the bridge of my nose trying to calm myself down. This man was absolutely about to make me lose my shit, “Jake it's fine, at least respect my decision. Let me go home and think properly, I've forgive you.”He let out a breath and pulled back, “I'm sorry, you're right I shouldn't push too hard. Last thing I want is to scare you off.”Scare who off? I just want to be miles away from you right now.I thought in my mind. I signed in relief as he took two steps back, I could finally breath easy. “I'll take my leave now, thanks anyways for trying to apologize I guess.” I said awkwardly.He looked me in the eye and the old feeling of butterflies in my belly uncurled again, I looked away sharply.And started walking to the door, Make reached out and held my elbow. “Please let me walk you out at least.”His touch felt like burning heat, I jerked away. But I knew he wouldn't drop it, sighing I nodded.He grabbed my hand before I could protest, and quite frankly I was tire

River's Pov I decided to take my flowers to my car, I deserve a fucking early day. Seeing Jake up close again was emotional roller coaster, and man was I drained.At least something interesting was happening, a whole new different admirer. Not that I lacked male attention but I was romantically bored and the fact that it was a office romance was interesting and safe.My therapist had advised I stay away from romance right now, but a little date never hurts anyone. I was going to go out tomorrow evening, I'm not going to let my experience with Jake spoil my love life.As I got to the lobby I saw an unexpected person, Dante also seemed to have the plan of leaving the office early. I pretended to not see him and kept my face straight up, he seemed to be staring but what was my business with that.By the way his ex girlfriend was back and they're probably going to get back together. I wasn't up for the tangled mess of emotions that came with messing around with him.I busied myself makin

Dantes' POV“Get out of here Angelica.” I heard myself say on autopilot. My heart felt like it was beating a thousand times faster,why the hell was she here. This was the last thing I needed to deal with today.I stared Angelica hoping I didn't look as disoriented as I felt. She simply gave me her killer smile. The one that brought me easily to my knees, her dimples showed.“Please baby, I know you don't mean that. I came over so we can talk things out, I'm sorry for how I left the last time.” I felt like I was being pulled into the abyss of bright brown eyes, she placed a hand in my chest but I quickly jerk away.“No! I need you to leave Angelica. You made your choice a long time ago and it wasn't by my side. You can't cat walk in here and just expect all to be well and forgiven.”She looked sad for a split second, but I was used to her theaterics. “I'm so sorry, I was just scared Dante. I was terrified of the concept of marriage I forgot I was going to be doing this with someone a

River's Pov I don't even know for how long I had my head on my desk sleeping. All I know is when I opened my eyes I saw it was fully mid day. I yawned and stretched my body slightly aching from sleeping in an uncomfortable position for hours. Sitting up straight I picked my cell phone from the table and turned it on, it was still on Jake's page angrily I swiped it away. Leaving the app with an irritated hiss, I decided to distract myself by watching some random YouTube videos to distract myself. I wasn't going to let my mind idle away into feeling sad about a man who I shouldn't give two shits about, all I needed was to keep my mind busy and active. I tapped the icon and started watching a random video of how to make ice cream and you know how the algorithm works. The app recommended video after, video and before you know I was an hour fully invested in random stuff. My phone beeped with a notification, I pulled down the top bar only to see it was Jake who sent me a friend reque

Dantes' Pov The afternoon rolled in and I closed the file I had been working on. I had to meet Mr White at White water hotel, I really hoped it wasn't a conversation that would upset me.Throughout the day all that has happened has just been upsetting. Immediately I got to the office after the meeting I had to contact Sanders the best private investigator money could afford to get. I needed to know who exactly Jake was and what was the relationship between him and River. It was all too obvious today that they had some weird unfinished business going on and I'm determined to find out.I rubbed my forehead, it was really quite annoying that cared so much about this but I couldn't get it out of my head. The way they both locked eyes like some love sick couple of something. I adjusted my suit and stood up, texting my driver to drive up to the building front door. I wasn't in the mood to take a walk and run into someone who would want to chit chat.I didn't even page Baron to let him kn
