Obsession Of The Billionaire 45
Somehow I managed to get rid of Beatrice's sermons, but she gave me a considerable amount of tea bags to take to my apartment, and made a point of accompanying me to my door. In general, I would rather have tea than coffee, but nothing served to calm me down, and the mess in my head seemed like a whirlpool. I wouldn't be able to calm down even if I took medicine.Beatrice grumbled a few words of farewell and reprimand, however, I decided not to listen, not to absorb. And I entered my apartment as fast as I could, leaning against the door and sitting on the floor. The cold floor came into contact with my lower thighs, and my whole body seemed to get cold from one hour to the next, so I pulled my legs up to my chest and hugged, laying my head on my arms.I knew it would all be easier if I could really say loud and clear the way I felt, but I just didn't know how to do it, and I thought that meeting Beatrice at that time of night would help me think more clearly. However, I had only been

The office where I was interning was located on the busiest avenue in the city center, so in the early hours of dawn I was running a lot to be able to cross the street with two-way cars at high speed. And my day seemed to have started in the worst possible way because, in addition to not sleeping after spending the night remembering the date I made terrible thirty days ago, I had still been late with the need to put makeup on my face to disguise the lack of sleep, and I had not had time to have breakfast. So, it was still six o'clock in the morning and I was already tired, hungry, and very angry with everything and everyone.The building rose with large glass windows and the sunlight was reflected on the highest floors. It was divided by sectors on each floor. There were ten sectors, thus, ten floors. And I spent four hours of my day, going up and down to meet the requests and whims of all the employees in that place. Even those who were the most despised by the high echelon, had free

Joseph laughed, and the sound caught the attention of a few employees who also kept their bags in the closets. They wore light blue uniform and social fabric, they probably belonged to the sector that provided marketing services, there on the top floors. And they didn't throw more than a few looks bothered by Joseph's giggles in the early hours of the morning. No one arrived in a good mood at that place."Because today at eight o'clock we will have a small celebration," he said, stretching his lips in a smile. "The boss's son will become part of the administrative sector. He has been very busy taking care of his own business, but from this week he will be present every day in the building, at least until lunchtime, after that he will take care of his own company that is about to be inaugurated. So, it is ideal for all employees to have an impeccable, clean and organized appearance.”" Why didn't anyone warn me? "I asked in shock."Because no one likes you, daisy," he replied, as if it

I left before giving in to the desire to throw the tray in his face and say that I gave up the damn internship contract. Meredith's room was very small compared to the entire sector that was divided by stalls because of social distancing, and almost all people stopped focusing on their computers to look in my direction.I should have had a very sour expression on my face, because none of them made any joke when I passed through the wide corridor that circled the sector. Small plants stood in vases on the sides of the corridor and I passed by a daisy, throwing it such a fulminant look that the flower itself seemed to lose some of its brightness.For an hour, I had the impression that the day never came to an end. Meredith had already made me go out like crazy looking for some cleaning lady because she had dropped coffee on her clothes with the nervousness to find the boss and her son. She made me go out after the lost and found that were on the first floor to try to find a shirt that w

Joseph stopped fixing the collar of the shirt identical to mine and approached. He pulled the bun out of my hair and undid it, trying to stroke the curly and rebellious strands of my hair from the root to the ends. Then he pulled something out of his pocket that had the shape of a sphere, opened it and wet his fingers with a paste, then started rubbing the ends of my hair with his palms together."I'm always carrying some gel in my pocket," he said as he watched my shock in front of the mirror. "It won't make the curls very beautiful, but at least it will tame all that volume a little. And... tchanran... You're not so decadent.”Truth be told, my hair was less hedgehog than before, although they were still a little rebellious. However, my clothes were still horrible, and I knew I wouldn't feel at all comfortable in a sector I've never been in, and in front of the bosses of each sector who hated me, including Meredith. If I didn't like Joseph so much, I would have jumped out of the ele

"Girl..." gasped Joseph, stunned by the gossip. "I'm shocked that you listen to all this and can control yourself so as not to spread it to anyone. I would have needed a tranquilizer in my vein to put up with all this. Not to mention that, have you ever thought if he is looking at the employees' file to make some layoffs and so he had to accept the position?”Leaning on her elbows and throwing nervous glances everywhere, the secretary lowered her voice even more to continue gossiping. I had my serious doubts that she could really stand all the gossip in secret, not least because she wouldn't be intercepting us to be able to reveal the biggest of them in that flustered way."No... I have the feeling that he only accepted the position on behalf of the shareholders... Now that she has returned to live in Brazil and will be attending the company as well... He wants to get someone's attention, that's a fact.”The noise of the elevator doors opening was enough for Joseph to straighten up an

There was a very embarrassing moment in that celebration. First, everyone realized that Flynn was staring at me too much to be just a mere acquaintance. Then everyone heard what he had said about me running away. And, in the end, everyone kept staring at me to try to understand why I was so scared and stuck in the same place that I didn't even seem to be breathing.In fact, as Flynn's eyes met mine and I noticed that shadow of malice, like someone who is very satisfied after an arduous search, I couldn't help but feel caught red-handed. My chest was burning from shortness of breath, and I should be getting a little purple, because Joseph poked me with his arm and murmured something that I interpreted as wondering if I was okay.I wasn't well. Not ahead of Flynn Ashton. After a long thirty days when I was avoiding any place he could be. In which I didn't even remember that he had attacked the fact that I mentioned that he also worked in an office. And after thirty days of touching me t

I had to cover my mouth so as not to let the scream escape, and he laughed when I turned towards him with wide eyes and a scared face. The mask was down on his chin, and he held two glasses of drink, handed one to me and looked away at the group in the center of the room. There, illuminated by the sun in his totally dark clothes, Flynn looked like a real spectacle of nature with his golden hair shining just like a mane.Despite the initial comment, he kept quiet. He turned his eyes to the group, although I knew his attention was directed at me. I knew that if he made any sudden movement and remembered an escape, he could very well drop that cup and hold me against his body. I even wanted him to do that, so I could make my stupid body stop shaking and yearn for his hands around my skin. And I had to take a deep breath and control my heartbeat so as not to show how nervous I was."I... Look... I'm sorry. "I began to say, swallowing the words that seemed painful in my throat. "I don't kn

I almost no longer needed to use the tracker I had installed on Flynn's cell phone at the beginning of everything. I only used it because I still couldn't stop that mistrust when I noticed that he spent too much time working. But the conversations were always the same with the customers. And I didn't suspect that he was going out with other people, because there was no time when we weren't together. Still, I couldn't totally trust him. There were days when I didn't sleep. Not until I was really alone at home.My sleep problems remained the same. Always caused by that fear of being vulnerable next to someone else, and also by the constant nightmares about the murders I've been orchestrating with the help of someone else. I never told my therapist the truth. I never let him reach more than the edge of my feelings. At the same time I was policing myself to act and speak the way everyone expected Tasha Santos to do, although deep down there was that rabid animal that was always ready to a

"Can you behave like educated children? "He scolded my sister, pulling one of my nephews by the ear. "That's why I never go out with you!”" Jenyfer, it doesn't have to be so hard," countered my brother-in-law, reaching the smaller child who wouldn't stop climbing on the couch and throwing the cushions up. "They are too small to understand. And I'm sure your sister doesn't mind them playing, does Tasha?”"They will understand very well when their aunt put them on platters and bake for our lunch," shouted Jenyfer, looking with her eyes for any confirmation that I would be really furious.I left the platter with pasta in white sauce on the table and stretched my neck to see through the open door of the kitchen, finding my brother-in-law with my three-year-old nephew on his lap who kicked and shook his golden curl hair, in a desperate attempt to get back to mess up everything he found on his way. While my sister held her eldest son, ten years old, by the tip of her ear. It should be hurt

I still hid many secrets from Flynn. The biggest of them was also a surprise that left me in shock for at least three days, until I remembered that I needed to act normally so that he had no idea what was happening to my body, until I found the perfect opportunity to use this against him. At the moment, we were fine. We had sex every day. We ate in fancy places. We slept in the moonlight. And sometimes we resumed the sexual provocations and attacks within the company.Everything seemed very good in my life. So good that sometimes I even wondered where the hidden cameras of the prank were. Because trying to compare the woman of months ago who barely had time to eat and sleep because of the two jobs that they couldn't even pay the bills, and trying to find similarities with the woman who was having the life of dreams, was impossible. I still worked during the day and dedicated myself to writing in my free moments, wanting to reach higher and higher levels in that achievement, and willin

I knelt before the well-kept and immaculate tomb of one of the farthest cemeteries in the city, depositing my set of small yellow flowers below the concrete tombstone, which read "Diana Garcia. 08/23/1991. 12/24/2020."Despite bringing a handkerchief in my hands and touching it from time to time in the waterline of my eyes, I wasn't crying. In fact, the only emotion I felt was the pure satisfaction of having accomplished all my goals without anyone realizing where I was wanting to go. Diana Garcia had been the woman who gave the bad luck to cross her path to mine, when she decided to mistreat me and demoralize in front of her ex-husband, and my current fiancé, Flynn Ashton. I persuaded an unstable and deeply shaken man to take his life. I manipulated and orchestrated every step taken, and I still became some kind of national victim who was too traumatized to give clear statements to the police. Diana Garcia was my perfect victim, and Landon the criminal who freed me from paying for an

"What's going to happen now? "I asked against your chest. "What do we do with life? With the police? The investigator was here earlier. He asked me about my relationship with Leo, the man who held me hostage at the end of the robbery. In the researcher's opinion, I seemed to be too friendly with someone who always presented unstable behaviors.”"I knew," he said, leaning his chin on my head. "They want to discredit us in every way, Tas. But you don't have to worry. I have a real team of lawyers. No one will get enough arguments to cause fear. They have nothing to suspect, at the end of the day. The point is that it is much more interesting to focus on the relationships we had with the people involved in the crime, than to actually solve it. That's the problem with the police in this place.”"I'm still afraid, Flynn. "I commented in a trembling voice. "I'm still afraid that they might catch me off guard and make me confess something I didn't even do. I've never been in front of police

"I don't feel vulnerable," I said, already feeling in which direction that conversation would take. I had to show that I was very stubborn and the owner of my own will. "And I think this whole situation may have made you a little paranoid, Flynn. I'm not criticizing. I think anyone in their normal state would become a little suspicious. But if you're suggesting that I need security guards, I refuse. I can’t work every day knowing that when I leave the supermarket I will get into a car with two armed men and that they will leave me at home, or that they will take me to your house, because you no longer trust the people who live in my building, and that’s why you prefer to avoid it. I don't want bodyguards, just like you don't want to either. And I don't think that being with you will make me a target. I think this can even increase my security, since no one will want to mess with someone so powerful.”"I know the question is strange to you," he said, still without looking me in the eye

Flynn totally entered the room, and seeing him was like opening the curtains in a dark room. He was my sun on that rainy night outside, and I was really happy to see him. The hair was loose on his shoulders, and the smooth and silky strands slipped smoothly to make the face even more beautiful and shiny. He took off his mask and kept it in his pocket, while still watching me, looking as happy and radiant as I should be."The nurse told us that the number of visits was limited," Cristiano said somewhere far from my attention. "I don't think she'll be happy to see so many people in here. Tasha just went through a traumatic situation. She needs rest. You can't keep getting so many people in the room like that.”"You're right," said Flynn, looking away for a quick moment to observe Cristiano. "You can leave now. I've arrived.”"I'm not going out," Cristiano said with a dull giggle. "I arrived first.”"Oh, for God's sake! "Beatrice grunted, rising from a jump. She pulled Cristiano violentl

"Look, Cris... I really like you. I really loved you more than anything in this life. But you're not the guy I can call when the situation gets tight, you know? "I said, performing a mouth-in-mouth. "You're the guy who amuses me, makes me laugh, but that's all. All you do besides that is hurt me. And I know you may be being sincere in saying that you really realized that we were born for each other and that we should continue together, but now, after all, you no longer fit into my life, Cris.”"No, Tas. You don't have to say anything. "He interrupted, pretending that I hadn't really said anything. "I understand that you are already with someone else. And I don't want this guy to suffer, thinking that you'll be able to love him as you love me. I know you can't love anyone the same way you loved me, and I think he'll need some time to understand that. But I don't want to force anything. I don't want you to tell him out of nowhere that you don't want to see him anymore. We can make it wo

Beatrice snorted, but went to sit in one of the chairs, watching Cristiano like an eagle watching the chicks in her nest."What do you need to know? "He asked."How did the police arrive so fast? "I asked Beatrice, disappointing Cristiano's expectations. "How did they know what was happening in the supermarket, if the employees were surrendered before they had time to call them?”"The police had been following Flynn since the first crime," she replied, undoing the angry expression. "They considered him a suspect, yes, but the point was that they believed that the bandits would not leave Flynn alive to tell the story of what had happened. And, being a billionaire man in the middle of Brazil, they took on the role of following his every step to know if they would not meet the bandits at some point. And the moment came when Flynn came to pick you up that night. They were waiting across the street, in plainclothes, when they noticed that masked men entered the establishment. All we really
