River's POVBaron met me half way, “Good morning miss River, hope you had a wonderful night.” I nodded in response.He took my briefcase and led me out of the building. I'm not shy or anything but I was grateful to be far from the incessant stares of the people in the lobby.He led me up to a car we hadn't used before, the car was a royal blue limo and even the interior was a beautiful almost white pastel blue color. He opened the door for me and I slipped in, him after me.I sat down sinking into the soft leather and to my surprise Baron handed me a mini tray of the breakfast I was offered just some minutes ago. Damn they really worked fast didn't they? I thought to myself.“Thank you.” I muttered which he nodded to and I focused on devouring the meal. Thoughtfully I noticed I hadn't yet offered Baron I looked up to see him looking at me with a odd look of pity but disdain.He immediately adjusted his facial expression and looked away and it was all I could do to keep myself from aski

Chapter 12Rivers Pov I woke up with a banging headache, the sunlight from day break spilled through the cracks of the window blinds. Eyes still closed cause they felt too damn heavy for me to open,I lesurely streched like a cat my muscles grateful for the release as they were deliciously sore.I tried to feel the space beside me hoping to come in could contact with Dante's body and enjoy his warmth but all I felt was the cool empty space of nothingness.My heart skipped a beat and I popped my eyes open too fast making me feel like my head was slightly spinning. True to what I had felt the bed was empty and cold letting me know Dante had got up from bed a while ago.A frown creased my brow, what the heck? But still the voice of reason in my head utterly stopped me from flying into the wild impossiblity that once more Dante Williams had just used me.I dragged the comforter up to my chest feeling slightly digust for my need for his approval and emotions. I shook my head vigourously, “

Chapter 11I swallowed the knot forming in my throat and walked to Dante who was casually leaning on his latest model of Gwagon Mercedes Benz. The man certainly had a thing of dark vehicles.He watched me like a predator watching his prey, not blinking, his sight not wavering. He wore a navy blue stripped suit and a crisp white shirt which the top bottons had been undone.I didn't need to come to close to know the shoes he wore were from Armani, now barely three feet away from him. I caught a whiff of his delicious manly woodly scent, I had to stop myself from inhaling deeply.He surprised me by abruptly straightening and catching me by my waist with an arms, the intensity of his stare almost made me look away but I didn't want to appear weak so maintained our locked gaze.“You look ravishing.” He said it without missing a beat and it filled me with a sense of power knowing he thought that. I don't know maybe it was the champagne from the shopping earlier or just this intoxicating man

Chapter 10RiverAs I walked to the my office, now in the elevator I couldn't help but wonder at if maybe rumors had started flying about myself and Dante. sincerely I didn't give two hoots if rumours had started circulating I was here to win back my honor and pride and get the hell out of this office.The elevator dinged and I got out, I mean why should I give a shit about people who wanted to be in my position after all. Most of the women here were probably only working here in hopes Dante would in as much as bat an eyelash their way.I know I sound cocky, but why shouldn't I. No one here knows how hard I worked to put my ass together and be noticed by the high and mighty. If they knew my story they'll be applauding me not hating.I pushed open my office door to see Baron seated on the visitors chair with a scowl on his face, I know he had probably been waiting a long time for me. He raised his head when he saw me, “Welcome miss, can we leave now we're quiet behind schedule.”I look

Chapter 9River's POVAs I strolled back from the cafe, for like half a second I felt for a few seconds eyes watching me. I turned and looked around but the feeling disappeared as quickly as it came. I didn't have to wonder who it was; it could probably be Dante or someone he sent.I walked briskly with my pastries and coffee; entering the building, I could still see the secretary give me some type of stupid weird eye. And honestly, I'd about had it. I walked straight up to her desk and put on my icy sweet smile."Excuse me, I think we started on the wrong foot today. I'm River." I even extended my hand out to the b**tch. She eyes my hand like I'm some vermin and gives a tight smile, her red lipstick creasing."Oh, I know you, Rive,r, and the fact you don't remember me makes it all the way worse. It's almost like you're mocking me."I arched an eyebrow in confusion and took a deeper look at her. Her face looked familiar to someone I used to know back, like way back."Could you possibl
