Rihanna's POV

It was my second week at S&Co, and the days seemed to fly by quickly. I hoped that the week would be as stress-free as the last, except for my first day, of course.

Today, I arrived a bit earlier, partly because I was starting to enjoy my work here, which involved sitting in the office all day and binge-watching my favorite movies, and partly because I wanted to avoid staying in the same space as David as much as possible.

As the elevator doors opened on the thirteenth floor, I glanced at my wristwatch. It was quarter to eight, and I realized I was fifteen minutes early.

"Good morning, Elena," I greeted her as I passed by her desk.

Elena was the only one on that floor at that time. She was usually the first person to arrive.

"Emma, you're early today." She said with a genuine smile. We quickly became friends and bonded over our shared love for K-pop. I had discovered that she was just as obsessed with SEVENTEEN's music as I was.

"Yeah, I woke up earlier today." I replie

    Rihanna's POVI never knew Nicholas could be that despicable. I mean, seriously, no one can convince me otherwise. It was crystal clear that he did it on purpose. He didn't accidentally throw those files to the ground, he intentionally did it without a care in the world.I had been stuck in the same position for over three hours, trying my best to arrange those files properly. It took me a good thirty minutes just to figure out the serial numbers on each file and how they were supposed to be organized. But thanks to Nicholas and his careless actions, some of the brown files had their paper documents scattered all over the place. It was a chaotic mess, with papers from different files mixed up together. This just made everything even more challenging for me, as I had to carefully read through each paper, checking the dates to figure out which file they belonged to.On the bright side, going through those papers did give me some insight into the kind of information stored in that office

    Rihanna's POVMy eyes went wide when I saw David on the TV screen. He was being interviewed and giving tips on how to make money. I couldn't believe it was the same David Marchetti I lived with. I tried to hide my surprise, but my mouth just wouldn't close.I never thought David would get involved with the media, let alone be on live TV for an interview. My jaw dropped even lower when I saw him smile at a joke the interviewer made. David Marchetti, the stone-cold bastard I was stuck living with, actually smiled at someone? It felt like the world was turning upside down. Maybe he was finally going to set me free from the chains he had me in.If someone had told me this would happen, I would have called it complete bullshit. David was incapable of doing anything but glaring and growling. But there I was, witnessing it with my own eyes. He smiled on live TV, and it wasn't just a tight-lipped smile. It was a full-blown, teeth-showing smile. I even noticed dimples on both cheeks that I nev

    David’s POVFrustration overwhelmed me as I stormed into the bedroom, angrily tossing my tie aside. The moment I stepped through the door, I took my clothes off, one by one, following the discarded tie. I entered the bathroom, allowing the cool water to cascade over my body, washing away the stress of the day.Just as I stepped out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around my waist, a persistent knock echoed through the room. With irritation, I yanked the door open and asked, "Yes?"“Long day at work?” Berta asked as she stood before me, her arms instinctively wrapping around my neck. But my patience was worn thin, and she was the last person I wanted to see at that moment. So abruptly shrugged off her embrace, snapping, "I'm not in the mood. Leave!" With a frown expression, she quickly retreated from the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.My mind was consumed by the loss of the merchandise, which vanished in the depths of the sea during its journey to South America.

    Rihanna’s POVDavid turned away from me abruptly, leaving me with unanswered questions about why I was no longer allowed to enjoy my meals in the comfort of my room. Moments later, he called for help to escort me back to my room, and that was the last time I laid eyes on him.Two weeks had passed since that day, and I found myself huddled in my room, wrapped in a baggy sweatshirt. Frustration consumed me as I sent countless text messages to Ivory, desperately hoping she would pick up my calls. Maria had kindly lent me an extra phone when she couldn't reach me for an entire week. I took advantage of the opportunity and tried to reach out to Ivory, longing to know if she was still alive. But for the past five days, she had been ignoring my calls, and I blamed myself for it. I had warned her long ago to never answer any calls from the States unless they were from me. Since Ivory wasn't active on social media, I had no other means of reaching her. My text messages remained unread, and anxi

    David's POVHer breath came in heavy, labored gasps, as she struggled to conceal her desire. But I could see right through her facade. The lust in her eyes was undeniable, a blazing fire that couldn't be extinguished. She was an open book, just like the countless women who had come before her, always craving more after having a taste of me. "Quite bold of you to assume I would repeat the same mistake I made two years ago." I murmured, my voice husky as I leaned in close to her ear. Her eyes widened, and a blush crept up her cheeks in an instant. She blinked rapidly, trying to process my words."W-What?" She stammered, confusion replacing the once fiery glare in her eyes."Oblivion can make one look rather foolish." I said, my tone cool and composed. She understood exactly what I was referring to, or at least her body did. The way it responded to my touch, yearning to be worshipped by me. She couldn't forget me, not after I had taken her innocence. I never meant to fuck her that night

    Rihanna’s POVI didn’t step out of my room until it was nighttime and I had to go and grab my food from the kitchen. As I headed out on the way to my room, a seven-foot man suddenly blocked my path, causing me to frown at him but still he didn’t move. “Get out of my way!” I was forced to yell with an angry glower. “I’m sorry but the boss wants you to have dinner with him.” Dane said, his expression as stoic as ever. I swear, that guy never seems to do anything other than look all serious and intimidating. I wondered if he had looked at his family the same way. “Tell your boss to go to hell! He could go shove the dinner up his— hey! Give me back my tray!” I said to the help who’d taken my food tray from my hand. She was heading to the dining room where I was sure David was waiting for me but I’d rather starve than share a meal with him. “Fine then! You can have the food. I wasn’t hungry anyway.” I declared, storming towards the stairway. I had only managed to take two steps before D

I was known for always being on time, but today, the Russians were going to have to wait as I had business to finish before heading back to Manhattan. At that moment, I was in the basement of my secret house in Brooklyn with Dane. I got here about an hour ago when I finally tracked down the bastard that tried to steal my merchandise, the merchandise he’d made me believe was lost in the sea. Luckily my investigation and contacts in the South led me to the truth otherwise I would have never found out that the bastard was planning on building an empire with my fortune. “Who sent you?” I asked for the second time, I wasn’t fond of repeating myself, and the fact that he already made me do that riled me even more. He had to be working for someone, someone must have sent him because no one had the balls to single-handedly decide to steal from me. No sane person who knew who I was could have tried to steal 500 mi

    Rihanna’s POVMy fingers hurt from typing at a fast pace in a short amount of time. And although the air conditioning was on, it couldn’t stop the sweat seeping down my back. I never realized how challenging Elena's job was until that moment. Typing everything people were saying in real time was no joke, especially when they were speaking so fast and all at once. It would have been so much easier if we’d just recorded the meeting instead of choosing that method of documentation. I couldn't shake the feeling that Nicholas had some sort of grudge against me. He hated me, that was the only explanation. Why else would he make me take the difficult route when there was a much easier and less stressful way to handle the situation?Out of nowhere, Nicholas suddenly turned his attention to me and asked, "What do you think?" All twelve pairs of eyes in the room were on me, and I looked up at him with wide eyes, completely caught off guard."Huh?" I blurted out. I had been so focused on try

    David's POVIt was a bad day for me. The multimillionaire contract that I'd been trying to secure for months just slipped through the tip of my fingers and although I'd fired everyone responsible for that misfortune, I didn't feel satisfied. I never should have let them go, or at least I never should have let them walk back home on their two feet. I should have done something more 'David Marchetti' like to them. I should have made them pay for their foolishness.'It's not too late, you could always find them if you want.' A voice at the back of my head said and I took a large swig from my whiskey bottle to shut out the voice. Since I got back from work about an hour ago, I'd locked myself up in my room, chugging down alcohol because I was too mad at myself for letting those who brought me loss go scoff. Why did I do that?I'd asked myself that question over and over again and yet I couldn't come up with a logical answer. I glanced at the clock on my wall to see that it was almost

    Rihanna's POVNicholas found his stupid file. He found the file he was looking for. It turned out that his former secretary, who'd worked for him before I was employed, had taken it. And my bastard of a boss didn't have the decency to tell me about it. I never would have found out he'd find his damn files if Elena hadn't told me. I guess he didn't feel the need to share the news with a mere employee like me. Maybe he was avoiding having to apologize for wrongly accusing me of stealing the files. Honestly, I wasn't expecting an apology from him anyway. I knew him well enough to understand that he never admitted his mistakes, even when he was clearly in the wrong.As I walked down the hallway towards my office, I exchanged greetings with Elena, who always had a warm smile on her face. Just as I settled in my chair, the computer beeped. It was an email from Nicholas. I groaned and rolled my eyes, expecting one of his condescending messages.

    Rihanna’s POVEvery day, right before leaving the office, I usually switch on the "Do Not Disturb" mode on my phone. I couldn’t let David know that I had a phone. And ever since he returned my own phone to me, I'd been too caught up in texting Ivory to even check the other phone that Maria lent me."I swear I didn't see the message until now," I said sincerely.The message had warned of consequences if we didn't comply. What kind of consequences did they mean?Surely, he couldn't be considering firing me just because I didn't show up to work on a weekend, right? Even he wouldn't be that cruel."Um," I swallowed nervously. "Could you fill me in on the meeting I missed? If it's not too much trouble," I mumbled.He shot me a piercing look before saying, "A file is missing. A very important one." The way his eyes bore into mine when he emphasized "very" sent a shiver down my spine. "The file was in the drawer attached to your desk in your office. I accessed it myself three months ago, bef

    Rihanna’s POVI had never felt more relaxed than I did then. I never realized how much I needed a massage until Alicia’s invite. The masseur's hands moved efficiently around my oiled back, massaging slowly, releasing every knot caused by years of stress. His hands were so gently yet firm. It took everything in me not to release a satisfying moan as that would be too embarrassing and inappropriate given that it was a man giving me a massage. Alicia was on the bench next to me, a lady was in charge of massaging her because the man that was meant to, was late for his shift. I realized then that there was no better way to spend my Saturdays than that. It had been a long, stressful, and irritable week for me all of which were triggered by both David and Nicholas. I sighed wondering how I had to be so unfortunate to be involved with two of the most vile men that ever existed. Alicia called out my name, and I turned my head to listen. "Yeah?" I replied, it felt like more people called

In fact, he decided to stay indoors that Saturday, choosing to sit in the living room which made me stuck in my room because there was no way I was going to sit out there and watch my favorite TV show with him. If I wanted to get back at him, I knew I had to take a step back. But then, out of the blue, Alicia called me and invited me to a spa date. couldn't say no because it was exactly the escape I needed. She offered to pick me up at my house, but I refused ‘cause she couldn’t know where I lived. So I told her to text me the address, and I’d meet her there. “Where are you going?” David suddenly asked as I tried to sneak past the living room, hoping to go unnoticed, but the guy probably had eagle eyes or something."It's none of your business," I replied, keeping my voice low but still audible enough for him to hear.He whirled around, his face contorting into a frightening expression as his eyes scanned my outfit.

    Rihanna’s POVI was hit with a wave of shock, embarrassment, and anger when I saw David walk out the door. My eyes were glued to it as I replayed the last few minutes in my head. It was hard to believe that he’d actually walked out on me and said all those hurtful words after kissing me the way he did, as if he wanted to swallow me whole. I didn't even realize I was crying until I tasted the salty tears in my mouth. And once I realized it, I couldn't hold back the floodgates. I had never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I mean, in all my twenty-three years, I'd never been rejected by someone of the opposite sex. And now, when it finally happened, it was in the most brutal way possible. A part of me felt like I deserved it, like it was some sort of punishment for even considering being with the man who took my parents away from me. I could only imagine how disappointed my mom would be if she knew I was thinking about being with him. I was supposed to hate him, to seek revenge fo

    David’s POVI’d always thought I had a good idea of what Rihanna tasted like. I’d always thought her scent and taste which had been embedded in my head since that night, two years ago would be exactly as I remembered it if I were to cross paths with her again, but I was wrong. And I’d never been so glad to be wrong in my life as she tasted nothing as I remembered but rather, better. Her lips were as soft as the clouds and her mouth tasted so sweet that I couldn’t find the words to describe it. I could taste the champagne she had earlier as well as a unique taste that pertained to her, the unique taste that was about to make me lose my shit. I nudged her mouth open with my tongue, to invade her mouth and have more of her because I was insatiable. I wanted all of her, I wanted to taste every inch of her. She obliged and the soft whimper she made when my tongue roughly invaded her mouth made my pants grow tighter than ever. Why the fuck did I wait so long to do this? Why the fuck did I

    David’s POVMy teeth were clenched together as I struggled to keep my emotions in check, especially with my mother sitting right across me. The tightness of my pants grew increasingly uncomfortable, making it harder to focus on the conversation. I couldn't comprehend Rihanna's audacity in crossing that boundary and touching my dick, especially with my mother present. I never expected her to be so daring.Just as my grandfather asked about the progress with the merger, pulling my attention towards him, I placed a firm hand on the one she had on my crotch. I squeezed it tightly, forcefully pulling it away. I paused mid-sentence, my throat suddenly feeling dry, when I felt her hand on me again. My teeth ground together as my grandfather gave me a questioning look for the interruption. "We're still waiting for Montoya to finalize the documents for..." My voice trailed off, my concentration shattered. In an attempt to regain composure, I reached for the wine glass on the table and emptie

    Rihanna’s POVMy face was in complete shock. I kept looking back and forth between David and Dave, hoping one of them would just burst out laughing and say it was a joke. I was hoping Dave would be the one to say that because I knew David wouldn't crack a smile even if his life depended on it. But neither of them reacted the way I expected. They both had this serious, stoic look on their faces, and Dave's shocked expression only confirmed that it was real.I shot David a questioning look and subtly took a few steps away from Dave. So many thoughts were racing through my mind. What was David thinking? Did he know about Dave and me? Did David know we used to date? Was that why he approached me at the club that night?Then, David's mom walked up to me, breaking the silence in the room. She had this warm, friendly smile on her face, and it caught me off guard. I didn't know how to react because it was so unexpected. I had imagined David's mom to be just like him, but she was the total opp
