Her Pov:
The next 2 days went by smoothly. Sir didn't come to the office and my embarrassment lessened.
I joined the job on Wednesday. Today is Saturday. So, tomorrow is eventually my day off. I started my day happily. I had breakfast with Ella. And we both planned to have some fun and go to places on our day off.
I got ready for the work after that. I wore a tight skirt that reached just above my knees and a white top with white sneakers. I couldn't go on with the heels anymore. I kept my long, wavy hair open and wore just mascara and a lip tint and rushed off to the work.
To my surprise, Gabrielle wasn't there. And to my utter surprise, I got a call in the teleline. So I took it and it was from sir .
" Come in the room," he said and cut off the call. Wait, is he here!!
I knocked at the door and asked if I could come in .. He permitted, so I got in and asked him what he had called me for.
"Gabrielle took sick leave . She asked for 3 days using her holidays.. So you have to take over her position and work for me. "He said with a straight face.
" Owh OK, sir."
He tilted his towards my notebook, and I opened the notebook and started to note.
" You got 3 tasks. First, get me an espresso. Secondly, u gotta arrange my schedule. And lastly the 70th anniversary of this company is the day after tomorrow it has to be grand. You are gonna lead it and work with me on it. "
I gasped. " But sir, how is it possible only in a day?!" We got 2 days, Liana. Today and tomorrow. " he replied. Even before I could tell, it slipped out my mouth that tomorrow is Sunday.
He frowned. " So you can't work?"
" No no sir I can.. I will try my best." I replied, and with that, I took my leave. At first I went to the coffee machine and it's not working.
Huh.. Today seems to get worse with each moment passing. I made an espresso myself as I worked at a coffee shop. I was good at these. With that, I took it to him and served it to him.
He just told me to keep it on the table, and with that, I prepared his schedule for the day, and when I submitted that to him, the cup was empty.
I took it and just when I would open the door he said "Coffee was good ".
I smiled and said thanks. With that, he gave me a list of people I need to meet and contact to have this show go on successfully.
I went to the managing team at the 2nd floor and they gave me a lot of samples for like theme hall choosing people to invite media houses and also other things and handed me like 10 to 12 files at once. I was going up and then I got the call from the food caterer.
I was talking to him on the phone and was walking fast and suddenly I walked to a wall of muscles.
The files fell from my hand, and a strong hand held my waist firmly to save me from falling. While his other his holding my hand in a grip for my phone to not fall as well, I guess. At the same time, my other hand wrapped around his neck on instinct.
And in that moment, I could feel my heart beating rapidly like thunders. I could hear my own heartbeats in my own ears. He made me stand straight.
"You OK?" He asked me in his same deep dark tone.
" Um yes sir I am sorry. Let me just clean the files up.. Um, you are still.. "
With that, I looked at his hand that was still holding my hand in a tight grip. He left my hand.
" Thanks, sir. I .. I was taking these files to you. Could you choose some from them for the managing team to manage the event?"
" Sure, " he replied.
We headed to his office, and I took a seat and placed the files on the table. I was taken a little aback with him, taking a seat next to me .
And he all but dragged the chair near to me, looking at the files.
" Yes, show me the samples."
I let out a nervous breath out and started to show him the samples .
His gaze is fixed at the samples while I can't stop myself from looking at him from time to time. He's so close. Only a mere inches apart. He smells so masculine .He smells like wild flowers.
What the fuck am I thinking!!! I tried to focus back at work. Just when I was turning my face to the files, he looked back at me. And I felt shivers under his penetrating grey eyes.
He's a beautiful man, but he makes me so nervous for some reason.. He moved his eyes slowly from my eyes to my lips, and due to my heart thundering, I removed my eyes from him.
" So sir, this is all?"
He hummed. I rushed off from the room. The tension was so thick in the room. I almost felt my breathing get hitched. I never had any boyfriend in my life. I was taken to an orphanage at the age of 12. I got out of it at the age of 18. And since then, I have been only trying to get my life on track.
Working several part-time jobs and also studying.. I never got so damn close to a guy and have such solid eye contact. IT was crazy for me.. I tried to keep myself calm and spent the rest of the day at work relentlessly working.
The next day, I wore a floral white and pink summer dress and white sneakers. I put on blush and mascara. I wore a white bow in my hair. And reached to the office at 10 am.
The whole office was empty. I went to the 2nd floor and even the managing team wasn't there. I went to the 7th floor and knocked at sirs room.
" Come in."
I got in, and I felt my breath get stuck in my throat. He was looking as handsome as ever...
HIS OUTFIT
I saw him in casual for the first time, and it suited him really well.
" Ready to set off to the venue??" He asked me.
What venue. Seeing my confused face, he told me to follow him, and we got into the elevator. We got downstairs he had a sportscar there. He got into his seat. Oh, such a gentleman!!!! I got into the passenger seat, and he drove off.
" Sir, where are we going?" I shouted as we couldn't hear due to the speed of the car.
"You'll see," he replied calmly.
Um, where's he even taking me?! It looks like we are going out of the city.. But wait, the hall was in the city, right!!!!?
Her Pov:Where are we even going?? We have already crossed the city border. What's going on?!!! The car pulled over near the sea beach. What are we even doing here? I looked at Mr Edward, and his face was not giving anything, especially with sunglasses. We walked through the beach. Thank god I wore Snickers today.We reached the sea.He gets on the boat near the shore and stretches his hand toward me. " Get on." Um... I take his hand, and he holds my hand. Just as I am about to get on; the boat shakes badly, and I end up putting my arm around his neck for the 2nd time in a row. Definitely because of my weight, it shook. I m freaking 53 kgs!!!" Sorry, sir." " It's ok," he replied with. Wait, is that a smirk on his face???! He helped me stand straight, and then we headed towards the unknown. What's happening is he gonna dump me in the sea? I don't even know. After almost 15 minutes, we got close to a huge ship. He helped me to get up on the ship first, and then he got on it. Get
Her Pov:The party, as it's official, was held in the daytime from 12 pm to 4 pm. I was sitting tensely at 11 am, being all stressed that I didn't have anything to wear. And there was a knock. I opened the door." Boss sent this for you."A guy handed me over a packet and left just right after.I opened the bag and a fucking royal wine toned gown cane out. No fucking way I am gonna wear this is way too much definition of way too much. I called Edward." Um, sir, I mean Edward, I can't wear this. it's too much for a cruise party. Something simple would do much better." " It doesn't matter if it is too much I guarantee you people will be more over the top than you. So just wear it". With that, he cut off the call." What's this crap! "I said in frustration. But I need this job so if wearing a dress saves it I am more than happy to do it.And within a while I put on the dress. And it's just perfect. It's so beautiful I have never worn something like this in my life. I have a very curvy
Her Pov: I am taking this day off. After the kiss, I don't know how to encounter him again. It was my fucking first kiss. What if it was only causal to him? What if he doesn't feel anything about it? I didn't want to meet him so soon at work, so I took a sick leave, saying I had a fever. Ella asked me several times what happened, but I couldn't tell her. I didn't know myself. I was watching the TV, and the Titanic was on when they were kissing. I let out a frustrated sigh. I see myself and Edward in them. Just when I was about to change the channel, Edward called me. I saw it right after but took the call after a few rings. " Hey, how are u, Lia? How's your fever?" " I am getting better, sir. Don't worry please". It seems like he was taken aback for a second. " Do you need any type of medicine? " I denied it and assured him I had medicines. It was true I had the medicines at home, but just not the sickness or the fever! I spent the rest of New Year napping, sleeping, watch
Her pov:"What are you talking about, El?? Russian Mafia??" She just nods with a frustrated expression on her face. " But he has to be Russian for that, right? He doesn't have any accent when he speaks English.. You are not mistaking are you?" I ask her, hoping that she's wrong. " He's Russian Lia. He doesn't have any accent cause his mother was from the US, and his dad was Russian. " Ella says. "Wait, how do you know so much about him?" I asked. " I work in the club, right? I heard all these in there. Though they all could be rumours, he's dangerous for you, Lia. Also, he's a playboy. I heard that he slept with a lot of women, but he never got into a relationship. " Ella puts a hand on my shoulder. " I am concerned for you, lia. Don't get yourself in any trouble, okay?" I just nodded, holding her hand, assuring her that I won't get myself into trouble. Later, we had our dinner together, and I checked her fever again. Well, it seems like she's getting better. And we both go to o
Her Pov:Very slowly, he turns his face towards me. I felt shivers go down my whole body. No no no fuck fuck this can't be. There were other men fully armed and in the room dressed in all black, like the person who got out of the room, leaving the door open. Seeing me, they tried to come forward with their weapons in their hands when Edward gestured them to not move with his free hand. He threw the axe on the floor and very slowly took a step towards me. I froze on my spot. I needed to run, but the shock and fear got the best of me. He took another step. And an alarming bell started to ring in full volume in my mind. Lia run... Run before he gets you. Another step, and I was dragged back into reality. I saw him killing a man. He will fucking kill me as well. He is a monster. Run Lia run...And with that, I took a step back and all but started to run up the stairs .. I could hear footsteps behind me. He is following me but not chasing me as if he couldn't care less. His footsteps w
Her Pov:Should I make a run for it? I looked away from the entrance and looked at Edward to make sure he was busy in his talk for me to get enough time to run away. But as soon as my eyes fell on him, I found him already looking at me while he was still listening to that black dressed man. And very slowly, he shook his head, warning me not to do anything stupid . My god, he could already tell what I was thinking. Am I that predictable. I felt another cold shiver run down my spine. He is scary intimidating, and he got that aura around him. Even when he's just looking at him, I could feel my heartbeat raising as if his eyes are piercing my body. Not able to look at him anymore, I moved my eyes again to the entrance. No, I should not make a run for the entrance at this moment. Now that I am thinking it over, it would be stupid of me to try to run away through the entrance. I saw it myself how many armed guards were around the main gate. What if any of them fired at me. No, I will wa
HER POV:When I woke up, Edward wasn't in bed. I got up and looked around. I wonder where he is. I need to leave from here soon. I can't stay with a killer any moment longer. But for now, I had to freshen up. I needed energy to fight him or even run away from here. I went to the bathroom and gasped in shock. Edward was standing in front of the basin mirror . A towel was hanging lowly on his waist. His eight pack abs were on show. His whole body was wet and water dripping from his chest. It is the first time I have seen him shirtless. He is looking as majestic as ever. I could feel my heartbeat rising with a dangerous speed. Water dripping from his wet hair to his nose to his lips and to his jaw. Oh god, what am I thinking. My roaming eyes moved to his face, and his striking grey eyes were on me. Oh God, I can't breathe. " Good morning, printsessa." He wished me in a husky deep voice. He has a little smirk on his face as if he knows what effect his shirtless image is having on me
Her Pov: What if it's the car of Edward!! But I can't just stay here. I have to take the chance. Cause he will soon catch up to me. I am not that far from his reach. So hesitantly, I waved my hand to catch the attention of the driver. And the car slowed down by me. Thankfully, the driver was an old woman. "Are you okay, sweetheart?" She asked me kindly. " Um, can you please give me a ride to the nearest police station? I need to file a complaint." I replied. She hesitated a bit before agreeing, and I got into her car. Oh god!! I am free. I am not with that psycho murderer. Thinking of him, I felt pain in my heart.. Why it hurts to think about him. I .. I I can't think of him like that. I will file a complaint against him. He deserves it. He killed a person! Why do I even need to remind it to myself. I was lost in my thoughts so much that I didn't realise the woman pulled over in front of a police station. "We have reached to the station. Do you need me to wait for you, d
Her Pov: I bite my lips as I almost feel my anger pouring out as he pulls out his fingers just before my release, leaving me in distress and restlessness. I look at him, shooting daggers to him, but that only widens the smirk on his face. And I might have to be sick in the head to find him fascinating at the moment as a little light from outside falls on his face. His dark hair styled in a beautiful way as a hair strand fell loose on his piercing grey eyes, the same grey eyes that were so deep..The little light created a shadow on his face making his cheekbones higher and sharper and his neatly trimmed jaw appear sharper than a fucking machatte. So alluring with his enchanting scent of wildflowers.... No... No... What the fuck am I thinking? It .. It has to be the hormones that this bastard left unsatisfied.. Yeah, it has to be it.. I can't be that desperate to find him appealing. Just as I managed to tear my gaze away from him, the car jerked to a sudden halt, sending me forward.
His Pov:I wait at the downstairs as I didn't have the courage to go upstairs. I still couldn't forget the way she cut the call off on me or the way she talked with me. She needs to be tamed, and I fear I would do in right there and then without caring about the party if I am in the room with her.The party is important for both of us. Pathan threw the party for us, not because he's happy with us being a couple, but because he's upset, to be precise, he hates that I married her. A girl with no family background, especially with no Russian roots. It took me years to win their trust and to be the third highest most powerful member of the Bratva even after my dad being one of them.It's not that I didn't know how pathan would react. But I simply just didn't care. All I cared about was making her mine. Claiming Liana as mine, even if that meant putting everything at stake for her. All the efforts of the past 10 to 12 years. I still need the bratva, so I do need to play my role carefully.
Her Pov:The rest of my day passed with me losing myself in the thoughts of what Elize said. Bratva... What does he do for the Bratva for him to be so higher up that even the police fear him? I don't have a phone as he took mine long ago to search for any information. I asked for news papers in case they have some news on it that can provide me with any information, but the mansions don't take newspapers, which is what the young maid told me.It was 5 pm of the evening as I was lying on my bed trying to sleep before he came. I don't want to face him and his twisted intentions again when there's a knock on the door. At first, I was solent thinking it had to be Edward, but then, no way in hell he would knock on the door before entering the room. So I tell the person on the door to come in as I sit up on the bed. It's elite with a phone in her hand as she rushes to me. "It is sir on call." And she hands it over to me before she leaves me in alone in the room with the phone. Hesitantly,
Her Pov:When I wake up, Edward is not in bed with me. Did he leave? I will be thankful to God if he did. At least I won't have to face him. And I will have my time to look for a way to escape.I got up from the bed, and with every of my step, I felt him within me. The pain from last night has not gone anywhere, to be precise. It settled deeper. I was about to get in the bathroom as I reached for the knob but it was pulled open before I did, and I clashed with a huge frame and was about to fall but an arm wrapped around my waist preventing me from falling.My arm wrapped around his neck on instinct as my amber eyes clashed with his grey eyes. A smirk on his face as he holds me in his arms. Those grey eyes are so intense as they are locked with my eyes. " Good morning, Printsessa. " Water dripping from his dark hair and a few droplets fall on my forehead, pulling me back to my senses. I get back on my feet as I try to push him back, but his hold on my waist is too firm.He seems to h
Her Pov: I don't know how long I was going around in circles in the peach black darkness, losing myself in it. Entirely. Until I felt someone touching me. The same touch with the same possessiveness, the same dominance, but something about this is different. It's a feather like touch moving down my body. And his touch alone pulled me out of the darkness like a magnet pulling metal towards it. I try to open my eyes slowly as my lids feel as heavy as stones. I open my eyes, and for a second, everything is in a blur before a face slowly gets visible to me in the dim lights of the room.Edward... He's kneeling beside me as he is wiping me up with a piece of cloth. He's so focused that he didn't even notice me waking up. His abs tensing with every move he makes as he's shirtless.His long eyelashes.. His dark hair fell on his eyes.. The harsh contour of his face in the dim light creates a shade on his face, making him appear more godly.But only I know what a monster he is. His godly lo
Her Pov: " Good girl.." He whispers his words dripping with dark satisfaction. My whole body shivers under his penetrating gaze. A tear leaves my eye from the insult I am feeling and also from how helpless I am beneath him. I want to pull away to fight him, but my body is paralysed between shame and something more disturbing. " Don't cry yet... Printsessa.. " He brushes the tear away from my cheek, his touch deceptively gentle, and I try to move my face away from his touch. His hand tightens around my jaw as he forces me to look at him... To look at how helpless I am. And how my fucking body is betraying me. My heated core, raising heartbeat and the pool of wetness between my thighs have failed me.. And he... He knows it... Of course he knows it. *** Sensitive content ahead**** He bends over my body and licks the sensitive skin under my ear, and starts to nibble on it. His one hand holding the tie of my hands while his other hand is going down from my jaw then to my neck and t
Her Pov: Edward's standing on the doorway in all his glory." Why are you in such a hurry, Mrs Liana Knight?" He asks menacingly as he gets in the room and slams the door behind him without breaking eye contact. I take a step back with every step he takes towards me. My whole body is shaking as I feel sweat gathering in my hairline.He takes off his suit while taking slow steps towards me and throws it on the floor. He loosens his tie while having his eyes locked on me. His crazy grey eyes have darkened shades darker as it almost appear to be black now. His huge shadow on me feels like the shadow of a predator on me.The menacing look on his face made me lose it as I tried to run towards the door. A huge hand wraps around my waist as he slams me against the wall with a thud and is on me within a second. I shake from anticipation as I could feel him against me. He pins my hands above my hand and tilts my chin up with his other hand." Such a little slut you are aren't you Liana?" I
Her Pov:I could hear the loud noise of the guests clapping. They really think this is a happy occasion. They are all cheering loud when I am struggling for an ounce of air..I feel my body shaking my heart, breaking and sweat breaking on my skin under his domineering kiss. Just as I thought I would lose my consciousness, did he pull his lips apart from mine.Yeah, he scares me. He scares me so damn much. As his grey eyes are piercing my amber ones, I feel a shiver going down my spine as his lips twitch a little. A smile! A smile of his victory. But I won't let it end here! Ever! This is not the end. I will free myself. From him... I will never be his." Shall we continue, wifey?" He gestures to the front where a huge cake is placed. It's really beautiful and is huge. I nod slowly before him taking my hand in his, and we head to the cake. As we head, all the guests stand up, clapping for us, and we stand before the cake. There's a sword beside the cake as it's at least seven storeyed
Her Pov:I couldn't eat anything the whole day today. I just still can't believe that this is happening. I haven't seen Edward since this morning. I don't know why I still have a hope somewhere in my mind that this wedding won't happen. Somehow, it will be cancelled. Wishful thinking! But I just can't help it. It's past dinner time. I didn't have anything in my dinner in my rebel. And as Edward isn't home, no one forced me to eat anyway. But now I can't take my hunger anymore, so I go down to find something. The maids seem to be off their work at the time, so I go to the kitchen I the hope of finding something. I found some pasta in the fridge, so I have it. I wonder if they have given El anything for dinner. But if I try to go looking for her, I will create trouble for both of us .Shaking that thought off my mind, I look for something else in the fridge. I have a very bad habit of eating something sweet after dinner, so I look for something sweet.There's a box of chocolate ic
