Kathleen povI eyes fluttered open when I felt light directly hitting my eyes, I glanced at the source of light to see sun rays were peering from between the gaps of the curtains. I sleepily sat up and rested my back on the headboard.I rubbed my eyes to make the sleep leave me, I turned my head toward the alarm clock, I got at seeing what the time said.Fuck!!!I didn't set the alarm clock or it bailed on me this time. I was fucked.... I hurried ran into the bathroom and freshen up, I came out two minutes later and went to my closet. I just picked out an handles blue grown that was a little short but I didn't notice that. I took my black coat and out them on. I did do any makeup because I was running out of time. After putting on my ear rings and wristwatch, I put on my black ankle boat and went of my bedroom. I know I wouldn't be having breakfast at home or at any restaurant so I just wanted to make a sandwich and leave, I will eat that when I get to work. I went to the kitche
Jason pov "Well, well, well.... Having fun without me?" We heard a lady's voice coming from behind. Without anyone saying saying who it was, I knew who the person was. Ariel "Ariel." Derek called. She spread out her hands. "Yeah Derek, whole and behold." Derek laughed and went to hug her. "Yeah big guy, missed you so much." Ariel said while hugging him back. What the fucking hell was she doing back here? I told not to come back after Isabella and Joan died. She was once a target, If I didn't get the reason on time I would have lose the only family I had left.They pulled away from the hug. "It so good to see, Ariel." Derek said cheerfully. "Same here." She stared at me over Derek shoulder. "And you too cousin." Flashes of how I met her on the floor, raped, assaulted and at the point of death. I so much hate myself for not finding who ever had done that to her. I was just left with the broken Ariel and took years for her to gain her sanity. I gnashsd my jaw so hard that I
Kathleen povOhh boy... She thought I did think of she as his bitch. Not that I was denying I didn't she was his bitch. "Yes I am his new secretary," I admitted. "unfortunately." I murmured that part. She chuckled."So are you going in or we could hang out in your office." She suggested smiling. "Uhm..." "Jason is a terrible mood right now and it all because of me so going in there is taking the blame for what you didn't do." Yeah she was right about it. "Okay we can go to my office." I invited her to my office. We went to my office and I offered her a sit. She sat down comfortably and went to make her a coffee. "I will it without a sugar or milk." She stated. I turned toward her. "What?" She pointed at the direction of the coffee. "I don't want sugar or milk in ng coffee." "Ohh okay." I turned to the coffee machine. I got her a cup of coffee without sugar or milk. I brought it to her and gave it to her. She took it from me. "Thank you." I nodded and smile. I went to
Kathleen povI knocked on the door before opening it. Jason and Derek were having a conversation but immediately I entered the office, Jason stopped talking."Mr knight." I called gently."Hey cousin." Ariel called and went to sit at the couch.I walked to his desk. "You are having an interview with the reporters and after lunch, you would be going for the project at Los Angeles.""You sure are a busy guy." Ariel said.Jason tossed a glare at Ariel."Derek you should go stand in place of me." Jason finally spoke out."What? Why me?" Derek asked."I have more work to do here at the office rather than going for the interview or project sight seeing." Jason replied annoyingly."I also have work to do in my office." Derek pointed out."Of you both aren't ready to get your ass out of this company then I should go as a proxy." Ariel suggested."No you're not." Jason and Derek said at the same time.It was like they declined the idea for her own safety.What was going on here?"I have told y
Jason pov I went into my office following behind was Derek. I took off my jacket and hung it behind my chair. "You should consider Ariel staying." Derek suggested. "No don't do that, this is my family business and I have to take care of it myself." "No that what you don't understand Jason, I became part of your family long before you were born, when this mafia started and is ruled my you blood line so don't come telling me that." I sat down on my chair. "That different Derek...." "No it isn't, I also want to get revenge on what happened to your parents. Remember they took my as their son not their son best friend. So I also have to play a part in this and I don't care what you say." "It isn't you I am concerned about. Ariel life is in danger now that she is back, I don't know what I would do if she what happen repeat itself." Derek sighed loudly and sat down slowly on the chair. "The past won't repeat itself, Jason." "Yeah so damn confident like we caught thoes who caused us
Jason povI sat relaxed on the couch as I watched Kathleen at the bar drinking. After three shot, she became drunk and started talking shit.I had to leave her at the bar and went to sit at the couch.She was a bad candidate for a drinking buddy, I should have put her up to this.I hissed and drank the remaining whiskey in my tumbler. I dropped the empty tumbler beside me."Hey." Kathleen called and turned around. She stood up from the chair holding her tumbler.I think must have had enough, I should rather tell her to stop."Keep on drinking." I indulged her to keep going instead of stopping her.She smirked as she tilted her head sideways. "How dark are you inside?"What?She became walking closer to where I sat down.Now I wasn't enjoying this....She stood in front me. "You do care." She nodded. "So stop pretending.""Shut the fuck up and leave my office." I said.She shook her. "No I am not leaving, you told me to stay remember?" She went ahead and sat down beside me crossing he
Jason pov"Fuck this, I can't believe you did this." Derek snarled.He did as he said on the phone, he left the interview and canceled the project tour without telling me.Now he is in my office rambling about I getting Kathleen drunk.I sat down on my chairs and watched him dully." I shouldn't have listen to you when you said you had reports to work on rather than going to the interview." "I couldn't get my mind straight so I had to go for a drink so anything bad in that?" "Dragging Kathleen with you is bad." He pointed out. "Why do I feel you're getting mad because I told to leave rather than staying with Kathleen.""What are you getting to on that?" "I don't know, you tell me?" "Tell you what?" I sighed. "Are you in love with the both of them?" "What?" He scrunched his face. "That fucking stupid to think that." "Is it?" "Of course. I am I love with Lora, Kathleen is Lora best friend and a good person. I care about both of them and I only love Lora." "Are you going to kee
Kathleen pov"Whoa." I winced at the feelings of my head pounding in pain. It wasn't just an headache, it was an hangover from getting drunk. I rubbed her palm on my forehead. "My head fucking hurts."Derek walked to me. "That because you're having hungover.""Ohh."I sat up. Derek was here? When did he get back from the interview. I stared at Jason who was looking at me poorly. "You got drunk, Ms snow." He informed.My eyes became wide as she hurriedly stood up from the chair.Fuck! I got drunk in his office and I slept off in his office. This was going to be double punishment. "Mr knight." I pulled the lock of hair back to her ear, they were disturbing my vision. "Am sorry I got drunk.""You don't need to apologize to this jerk," Derek said.We heard knock on my office door. "No what?" He asked getting annoyed of all the drama happening in my office. "I will go and check who is at the door." I said and walked to the door. I went to the door and opened it. It was a pizza del
