He looked at me for the longest before stepping out and making his way over towards me.

"Hello", he said as he looked me up and down. Not in a bad way but more of trying to figure out what business I had here. Up closer he was quite good looking and he had a deep voice which suprised me the most.

"Hi", I replied as we both started a staring game. I was only looking at his face while his eyes roamed all over me. I started to wonder who exactly he was and if he's related to Denver anyhow? Perhaps. I wanted to ask but I came here to work, not to be a questionnaire.

"So...are we gonna just stare at each other all day or...?", was his next words before breaking out into a laugh. Somehow I found myself following along after him.

"Nope, I have more important things to do than staring at a stranger", was my reply which he surprisingly seemed taken aback by.

"Yes I am a stranger but so are you. I'm Carl, Denver is my grandfather" he said holding his hand out for me to shake. So I was right, he

    MordechaiI smirked to myself as I dropped another stack of files on Vanessa's desk. She will be back at work Monday and I hope she knows that it's gonna be one hell of a week for her. After leaving her office I went back to mine and was suprised to see my father waiting for me. We barely spoke after the meeting back in Paris. I really wasn't in the mood to talk about marriage right now."Dad, what are you doing here?", I asked but he didn't even glance at me. He kept staring out of space before he got up and gave me his attention. Seeing hoe serious he was, whatever he had to say can't be good. I sighed in my mind as I waited for him to speak."This assistant of yours...Vanessa was it, what's going on between you two?", was his next words which had me in an unresponsive state. What was he talking about?."What do you mean?""Don't play dumb with me Mordechai, now tell me whats going on? Is it because of her you don't want to get married. I have some very dear friends who have beautif

    VanessaI wasn't dressed to impress.I was dressed to look above average as the restaurant was a bit fancy. It was only a black dress that hugged my body perfectly and a pair of strapped up slippers that I bought two days ago. My hair was in a bun and I had in a pair of silver earrings. I just wanted to get this date over with. I wasn't interested in Keith but I didn't want to not show up.I went downstairs and saw Devin staring at his phone. I didn't try to look instead I stood infront him as he looked up slowly. His face broke out in a huge grin as he eyed me up and down."Well Keith will certainly be drooling over you", he said as I gave him a half smile."It's bound to happen. I don't even know if this date will turn out good or not"."Don't worry about it, if he tries anything just give me a call and I'll have his teeth on the floor in no time", he said in the most serious voice ever."I can handle myself Devin. But if I do need your help I'll call you"."Do you want me to drive

    For a few seconds I stood at my office door wondering if I was in the right building. I had to blink a few times to register what I was seeing. Stacks and stacks of paperwork on my desk. This was unbelievable and seriously unfair.After closing the door I went to my desk and took a deep breathe as my anger started to rise. I shouldn't be suprised because with a boss like Mordechai this was bound to happen. He liked taking control and watching the people below him suffer. These files won't be completed until next month.Knock! Knock!I didn't even bother to say anything because I knew it was him. I sat around my desk and turned on the computer. I heard the door opened before closing after a few seconds. I didn't even glance at him. Probably thinking that this isn't enough paper work for me."Vanessa, finally your back. I see you have alot of work cut out for you".I could hear the mockery in his voice. I sat there staring at my computer screen hoping he would get my message that I did

    "Look who's finally here guys!", Akilah shouted over the loud music. She was sitting with some people I've never seen before but they seemed alright enough. I needed a drink so I called her and she told me about a new club opening and so I said why not? I needed a break from all that work and the thoughts that have been clouding my mind all day."Hey girl", I say as I took a seat on one of the leather couches. I was only wearing a black skirt and a fringe top with my favorite shoes but most of the men couldn't keep their eyes off me."So guys this is Vanessa and she'll be partying with us tonight. This is Josh, Kimberly, Tyrese, Tamoya and lady of the night, Malina", Akilah said as she pointed to everyone who was around us. They all waved to me but I couldn't help but notice how Tyrese was looking at me.It was past friendly.He had a very dark and smooth complexion with low cut hair and a sharp jawline. He was dressed casually like the rest of the guys and only looked up from his pho

    I spent the last five minutes trying to regain my consciousness. My head felt heavy and the left side of my face was throbbing like hell. I opened my eyes slowly and tried to form words but my mouth was detained. "Princess, finally you're up".I opened my eyes fully and realized I was in a car. Everything finally came back to me and my heart started racing again. I was in the bathroom and then Tyrese - him and Zed must be working together...what if all of them was working for Zed and this was all a trap? Akilah wouldn't do that to me...would she?"We'll be staying at a hotel tonight ; tomorrow morning early I'll be taking you to home. But for now, I have a few questions to ask you and you will answer them", he said as I looked at him. I couldn't speak but if I could I would give him a piece of my mind."Where have you been staying since you left?", was his first question before untying the cloth from around my mouth. I felt a relief washed over me as I exhaled. I didn't want to give

    I was awoken by the sound of someone grunting. I blinked a few times to adjust to the light as I looked around. I spotted Zed on the bed sleeping with his gun on his chest. I stayed still trying to debate what was the best thing to do. He could be testing me and if I tried anything it will result in me getting either shot or a terrible slap.I couldn't sit here and think about that, this was my chance. I stood up slowly trying to be as quiet as I could. I knew the door was locked and the key was most likely in his pocket. The first thing I did was take up the jacket and took out the coins I saw earlier. My heart leapt from my chest when a few of the coins fell on the floor.He twitched but didn't wake up. I sighed in undeniable relief before calmly placing the jacket back to how it was. I went over to his side and notice the keys were right on the pillow next to him. I calmed my breathing and reached over hoping I wouldn't wake him. I took up the keys clutching them tightly so they w

    I was awoken by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and came face to face with Mordechai. I never felt more relieved to see someone else in my life. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck and surprisingly he held my close to his body. His hands went to my cheeks as he checked my face for any injuries. He looked at my wrist and saw the small marks on them."Vanessa, tell me you're alright, your not hurt""I'm fine...I'm just so tired", I replied lazily as I rest my head on his chest. His hands gripped my waist tighter as he pulled me closer to him. We stayed like that for a few seconds before we were interrupted by Kayleigh."The men are coming back I think they know you're here, you have to go. There's a door around the back, it will lead you out front", she says as Mordechai took my hand."Thanks for everything", I say as Mordechai pulled me along with him. I only hope Zed doesn't hurt her because I don't think I would forgive myself. We saw the door she was talking abou

    2 days laterIt was after nine in the morning and I still haven't gotten out of bed. I just felt like I should rest up today and I didn't know why. After the night I broke down and Mordechai actually calmed me down, he didn't ask anything more about my past. He gave me his couch to sleep on with enough blankets to survive a winter storm.The following morning he took me home and I told Devin everything that happened. After telling him he was suprised that Mordechai actually hugged me and dried my tears. I was even suprised myself that night because he seemed like a different person from my arrogant, self-centered boss. I guess everyone does have more than one side to their personalities.He gave me that day and today off and I will be returning to work tomorrow and I don't really know how to feel about it. I was going to face him again and I didn't know if he told anyone about what I told him. I don't really think he will it's just, I don't want anyone else to know from those that alr

    "Give me the knife Vanessa".I held the knife tighter in my hands as I looked at him. My breathing was heavy and my legs were getting weak. His face was becoming more serious as the seconds went by. He started to come towards me and I ran out of the kitchen. He pulled me back by my hair erupting a scream from my chest. I fell on the floor hard and before he could pull me up I ran the knife through his side. His blood started to ooze out on my clothesNo, no, no am sorry!~I jumped up with a heartwrenching scream. My breathing was heavy as I looked around the room. I saw Mordechai rushing towards me and I held my hands out and wrapped them around him."It's ok baby am here, I'm here", he said as he held me close to him. I was on top of him as I rest my head against the crook of his neck. He rubbed my back as he tried to soothe me."It was a terrible nightmare", I say as I pulled away and looked at him. He wiped my eyes then I realized that I was crying. I was traumatized. I couldn't

    VanessaI tried to steady my breathing as I tried to figure out my next step. I took the left and made my way down the corridor. I was beyond scared of getting caught because this was my only chance. There was only a small amount of illumination in the place. I crept in the dark making sure to keep my eyes and ears peeled.There was light coming from inside a room and I heard some shuffling. I tiptoed towards the room and peered in. There he was with his back turned looking at some files. One thing caught my eyes and that was his car keys. He started to move and I hurried to the small door I passed on my way.I went inside and listened as his footsteps got nearer and then fade as he walked past. There was no light so I couldn't see what kind of room it was or find anything useful. I opened the door when I felt it was clear and peeked out. I took the chance and went inside the room he was. I took up the keys and dashed out before I started running.I made my way down the huge stack of

    MordechaiI stayed downstairs and allowed the men to do their job. They were currently searching Vanessa's room for any trace. Juilius was seated with his legs crossed as he hummed and played a game on his phone. The place seemed as if we were robbing a bank, guns were everywhere. These men were highly professionals.My phone started ringing and I checked to see it was my dad. I already explained the situation to him so why was he calling? I answered it anyways wondering what he was ready to argue about."Dad I already-"Your mom is leaving me", he said so fast that I almost didn't hear it."What? Why? What happened?", I asked a bit too loudly gaining Julius' attention."We were at home and she was going off about how I never loved her and she wants more that what I can give her. She looked me in the eyes and told me that she has a lover. I don't know where I went wrong son. I feel messed up right now. I don't think am gonna make it, my heart hurts", he said sounding so broken at the

    VanessaI slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I sat up immediately when I realized I was in a car. I tried to move my hands but they were handcuffed together. My heart started to race as my mind caught up to me as I remembered what happened.Franco abused my body in the worst way possible but he didn't penetrate me, thank God!. Zed had really sold me to him and so here I was, handcuffed in his car headed to where ever he was taking me. "You're awake, how are you feeling?", he asked glancing over his shoulder at me. I didn't reply as I glared at him."Come on baby, was I that rough with you?".I clenched my jaw as I stared out the window. He was sick and twisted. The way he used my body for his own pleasure. I was slapped, forced to orgasm and the worst part, being gagged. All that time my body felt numb. I didn't look at him or even make a sound. The worst feeling ever was being helpless. There was nothing I could've done.I feel so broken and shattered. What does life really ha

    Mordechai I didn't show up at the office yesterday or today. I haven't even answered any calls from my dad. I just couldn't handle anything right now. I took another sip from the Jack Daniels bottle that I was holding. It's been a two days since I talked to Vanessa. Her words kept replaying in my head. I thought thought would've fight harder but she didn't.I've tried calling her but there was no answer. Was she trying to erase me from her mind already? It couldn't be. I miss seeing her beautiful face and those mesmerizing eyes. I wanted to scream and shout and trash the place. Just to release my frustration on something. Maybe I should go see her.I stood up and went to the closet and took out a shirt. I just hoped she hasn't left the city yet because that would be all hope lost. I took up my keys and phone before leaving the room. Life doesn't make sense if you can't be with the one you want.I was so eager to see her again. A part of me still wished that she would've fight a litt

    VanessaI stood infront of the mirror just staring at myself. After Alexa left Zed came in and commanded me to take a shower and get dressed. I was now standing infront of the mirror in nothing but a Strawberry lingerie. I knew what was in store for me and I had no idea how to stop it. My eyes were sad and my face was pale.I miss Mordechai. I missed my freedom. I missed everything. I looked around the room as I pulled my hair in frustration. I tried to figure out a way to escape but where would I go? I have no money and all I had was a small suitcase of clothes. I didn't even have my phone.The door opened and Zed came in. He was dressed in casual jeans and a short sleeved shirt that showed off all his tattoos. He looked at me as if I was some prize he has just won. "Beautiful. Your client for tonight is a very special one and he wants all night with you. Let's go love", he said sticking his hand out for me to take it. When I didn't his face turned serious."Vanessa, you're testing

    VanessaI couldn't breathe. There was this terrible pain in my chest preventing me from getting the oxygen I needed. They say things happened unexpected and falling in love with Mordechai wasn't something I planned for. Now I knew I did but that wasn't the tough part, pulling away was. It was such a tough thing to do because I knew I had hurt him.His father would never accept me and worst he knew about my past. After I got a call from Alexa I felt content because I haven't heard from her in so long. You could hear the sadness in her voice and sometimes I wondered if she wanted to run away with me from day one but was too scared.Then Mordechai called and I felt messed up about the whole situation. I have no regrets about sleeping with him or falling for him. I just wish things were different but reality was what it was. I laid on my side as I overthink everything. Say we both decided to fight and be in a relationship, his father would despise me to the bone. And then he would be disa

    Mordechai I ignored all the stares as I made my way to the elevator. All my father told me over the phone was that he wanted to see me immediately and it better be alone. There was something off about what he said making me think that he knew I was with someone last night. He also sounded pissed to the point that I thought I was talking to someone else.The elevator came to a stop and I stepped out. The top floor was empty as I made my way to the office. I knocked before entering and saw my dad sitting drinking a glass of wine. When he saw me he stood up and that's when I noticed his stern expression. "Mordechia, can you please explain why you're having an intimate relationship with your stripper assistant?"I stared at him as I registered what he just said. How did he know that? I bit my bottom lip as I figured out how he knew about Vanessa's past and our intimate interactions. I was still staring at him and by this time if smoke could emerge from an angry person, he would be in fl
