"Should I call him?" Alexandria muttered as she paced around the room, staring at the phone in her hands.

She didn't want her boss to think she was nosy but she couldn't help herself, she wanted to find out what happened to that arrogant boss of hers.

" He's my boss, the big boss! Why would he tell me about his issues, I'm just a secretary," Alexandria said with a small frown.

'Ughh! Why is this so hard?' she groaned inwardly as she collapsed on the bed.

"Well, I will give it a try, he can't bite my head off from the other end of the line, can he? What's the worst that could happen?" Alexandria said with a shrug before dialing a number that was saved as 'JERK!'.

She took a deep breath as she raised the phone to her ear.

She bit her lips nervously as she waited for him to answer the phone.

"Hello, what do you want?" a deep and husky voice said from the other end of the line.

She jumped off the bed and stared at the window blankly without saying anything, her heart was pounding and sh

    "I did it! I snapped out of those damn thoughts, all by myself and it feels so good!" Xander exclaimed with a wide smile, his blue eyes glittering with tears as he stared at both of his friends."What?," Enzo whispered, his hazel eyes dilating with shock and amazement as he jumped off the sofa."Are you sure?

    She was so scared, she kept on running, she could still hear his footsteps. He kept running after her. She was lost, there were lots of trees around, she stood for a minute, she felt breathless. She continued to run, but she tripped over a fallen branch and fell to the ground. She whimpered as she saw his shadow coming closer. "Please...," she begged. She was very scared and she moved backward. He kept coming closer to her and she moved further away from him until she hit a tree. She shrieked as he lunged towards her, pinning her hands down. She trashed in his hands and he smacked her. She cried as she trashed again making him grunt in frustration. "Stay still," he growled at her. His voice was husky, she could tell he was drunk because of the scent of liquor emitting from his body but he didn't have the right to do this to her. He sucked on her neck harshly and she cried out. His mouth traveled down and she felt disgusted. He forced himself into her and she screamed out in pain. "P

    Xander stared at the woman who almost crashed his car. She seemed too beautiful to be talkative. He could tell she was anxious and nervous with the way she closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry..... I didn't mean to," she kept on blabbering. He wanted her to look at him in the face. He was fed up with her apologizing over again. He didn't bother to say anything. She eventually raised her head to look at him. He saw her brown eyes widen when she looked at his face. 'What the heck is she looking at?' he thought angrily. She kept on looking at his face and that irritated him. "Shouldn't you know when to keep quiet?" he asked her with an irritable voice. She looked confused when he said that. He was still angry with her for almost causing an accident and to top it all off, she talked too much. "But sir, I'm apologizing to you, you should appreciate it," she said. He shook his head as he looked at her. 'Why is she so stupid,' he groaned inwardly. "Did I ask you to?" he asked her in a mocking

    Alexandria felt kind of guilty about what she did. She knew she had gone too far by breaking his windscreen but it was his fault. He called her foolish for crying out loud, she couldn't contain her anger so she smashed his windscreen. He was a very rude man. 'But a handsome one,' her inner mind stated. She couldn't believe she just thought that. "Shut up," she said smacking her face lightly. She could feel the redness and hotness of her face. She knew she looked like a tomato right now. She couldn't help but feel guilty for what she did to his car but it was his fault for calling her talkative. "It's his fault..," she mumbled as she got in the car. She checked the time on her phone and she couldn't help but feel angry again. It was already noon, she couldn't believe they had argued till noon and now she was late for work. "Asshole..he made me late for work," she groaned as she continued to drive. She couldn't go back home because her boss would kill her with complaints. She was

    "Good morning, Alexa," people greeted her as she rummaged through some files on her desk. She was too busy to answer. She just answered with a simple nod. She dropped the files back on the desk, she was stressed out. First, it was the blue-eyed jerk now her boss asked her to do something she wasn't comfortable with. She massaged her head and let out a helpless sigh. "Good morning, Alexa," a melodious voice greeted. She raised her head and saw a face that was filled with not only makeup but malice. She could see a scowl on the person's face. 'Oh great, the company's witch is here,' Alexandria rolled her eyes. It was the all slutty Faye Archer. Faye always came to bully her but this morning she was not in the mood for any nonsense. Faye was one of the many workers in the company but she was here which means she was up to no good.

    Xander's eyes were filled with horror as he sat in a corner of his room. The memories of what happened years ago kept haunting him. "I'm so sorry, please forgive me...I didn't mean to..," he croaked as he buried his face in his palm. He could still remember that night, the night his misery began. He could still remember her screams. He whimpered as he took the last gulp from the bottle of liquor in his hands. His body trembled as he broke the bottle, it shattered into a million pieces. His cyan eyes carried many emotions, especially guilt. He took a piece of the broken glass and slit his wrist with it. His eyes were now expressionless and cold. He knew he was losing a lot of blood but he didn't bother to do anything about it, he wanted to die. He had called his psychiatrist, Zion who was also his best friend to come over but he hadn't seen him so he stopped expecting him. He heard a knock on the door, and he immediately stood up to check who was at the door, his legs wobbled as he

"What's up with that smile? you might break your jaws, you know?" Alexandria asked with narrowed brown eyes. "I got a job!" Stacy shrieked almost piercing Alexandria's ear drums. "Really?"

    Alexandria gulped when she heard Stacy, she knew Stacy wasn't bluffing. 'No food?..how will I live?!,' She asked herself inwardly. "So, make your choice, it's either you tell me and eat some delicious cake or you don't eat anything delicious from now on," Stacy threatened again. 'Come on, Alex, I know you're tough but to crack but just give in and tell me already,' she whined inwardly while pulling a tough face. "Fine, I'll tell you but I'll have three slices of cake, okay?

"Wait...you smashed his windscreen... no, you broke his windscreen?!!," Stacy asked as her forest green eyes widened in shock.

    "What?!," Alexandria exclaimed, her brown eyes wide with surprise and a hint of worry. She cleared her throat nervously as she started at Stacy and Abigail."I mean... What happened? What else did Deyna tell you?" Alexandria asked, trying to look unaffected by the news."Nothing, she only said, her brother was going to meet Enzo and... Xander's your boss's name, right?"

And we didn't spend the night together, I didn't say that," Zion said, glaring at his sister for misunderstanding him on purpose."Well... You slept in the same house, right?," Deyna asked, a teasing smile adorning her face."No, not a house, Xander's penthouse, along with two of her friends and Enzo and Xan... Why am I even telling you this?" Zion asked, furrowing his eyebrows."Because I'm your favorite sister and you love me, that's why," Deyna answered with a silly grin on her face."Yeah right, I don't have a favorite sister because you are my only sister and I'm not telling you anything anymore, you nosy brat," Zion said, rolling his eyes as he walked up the stairs."Hey!

Alexandria burst into laughter when she saw Stacy's red face."Shut up, he's not interested in me... Is he?" Stacy asked with an uneasy and bashful smile."Is he interested? Of course, he is!

    Xander narrowed his eyes at the woman who dared to call his full name while smirking at him. He sighed when he saw the rest trying to stifle their laughter."And how the hell did we get here?!," she exclaimed again, this time starting at Zion."Don't you remember anything?" Zion asked with a ghost of a smile on his face."No, all I remember is seeing you guys and ordering a bottle of tequila... D**n, we drank a whole bottle of tequila?" Alexandria asked with widened eyes."Of course, we did, you dummy and it was all your fault," Stacy snapped at her which made Zion grin."Looks like Stacy remembers," Zion said, grinning at Stacy.Stacy couldn't help the blush on her face as she started at Zion with sparkling eyes."Uh? How is it my fault?

    "Ughh," Alexandria groaned as she squinted her eyes when the rays of the sun fell unto her face. She rolled into a sitting position and rubbed her eyes, trying to get rid of the grogginess."Huh?!," She exclaimed as she looked around the luxurious room only to find out she was in an unknown room with both Stacy and Abigail beside her on the bouncy bed."Hey, wake up," She whispered, patting Stacy's arm harshly."What? Let me sleep some more," Abigail whined sleepily, slapping Alexandria's hand away from her."Get your a** up," Alexandria said through her teeth as she tried to wake Stacy up."What?!," Stacy snapped at Alexandria who was glaring at her."Sshh, I think we've been kidnapped," Alexandria whispered, making Abigail sit up."Alright, I'm up, who has been kidnapped?"

    "Hey, bro, what about the address?" Zion said as he drove with a frown on his face."What address?" Xander asked, his face morphing into a frown."Their address," Zion rolled his eyes."I should be asking you that, I thought you asked her," Xander furrowed his eyebrows."You are her boss, you should know," Zion said, pointing at Alexandria."And how would I know where she lives?

We both made the mistake," Zion pointed at him with a glare"Yeah yeah, shut up...

    "S**t," Xander groaned when a foul smell hit his nose. He couldn't even shout at her, she looked too cute, and he couldn't bring himself to shout at her.'I can't believe this, what is wrong with me?' he scoffed inwardly."Dude... Looks like she doesn't like you," Enzo snickered as he stared at the slimy whitish stain on Xander's blazer. "Sorry," Alexandria drawled with a sheepish smile."And you, shut your mouth, of course, I like him, what's not to like?"
