JASMINE'S POV—The receptionist stares between us in surprise and disbelief."But Mr. Chad, sir..." He raises a hand, shutting her up. "I don't expect to repeat myself, miss," he says with a slight smile on his face, but there is nothing humorous about his words. If anything, there is a subtle hint of a threat in his tone."R-right away, sir," the blonde lady stutters and turns her attention back to her laptop. She casts me one last worried look before typing away on the device and making arrangements.I, on the other hand, am still trying to process the new thoughts in my head and how Chad came to be right in front of me.I think I'm pretty damned screwed now, and I can't help but wonder if he remembers me at all.My heart races at the thought, and not necessarily in a good way."Right this way," Chad motions with his hand and starts walking in a direction. He glances back to see if I'm following.Still at a loss, I hurry after him.We make our way to the elevator and step inside.I

Nico’s POVThe plane touches down in Los Angeles at exactly a few minutes after 12:00 noon.I could only manage a brief nap before my eyes snap open again. I look beside me to glare at Fabio, who has just shaken me awake."We’re here," he announces, taking off his seatbelt and standing up. I roll my eyes. He just has to point out the obvious, as if I’m blind or something.The rest of the men climb down the plane. Blade and Mario follow behind, taking the luggage with them. They mostly contain arms and other weapons that we need."You guys go on and settle down at the mansion," I say to Fabio.He tilts his head to the side, leaning against the plane and looking at me with a curious expression. "And you?" he questions. "What are you up to?""None of your business," I’m tempted to say. I refrain, however, knowing I don’t have to be rude. After all, he’s only asking an honest question. I have to admit, most of the time he is a bit too curious for his own good."I’m going over to the compa

Nico's POVI stand a little way away from the manager's office, watching. My left hand is in my pocket as I observe, and with my free hand, I draw out my phone and check my schedule. I don't remember any partnership meeting with the board, I reason with a frown. Now I'm wondering what the hell Chad would be doing here.After a while, a secretary walks out, speaking to Jasmine. Chad walks towards them. I watch the two of them closely, my frown deepening as he steps closer to her.She seems to be vehemently against something as she tries to move away from him."What the fuck," I whisper under my breath. I feel a possessive tingling in my skin.I don't like the idea of him getting so close to what was mine. I never had a problem with the man before—hell, he was a good partner—but what the hell was he doing with Jasmine now?I can't hear what they are saying. She finally moves away from him and hurries down the hallway. She's walking so quickly that she doesn't even notice me hanging arou

Jasmine's POVAs I hurry down the corridor, just barely avoiding Chad, I think I see a faint shadow of a man in the distance. The scent of citrus and sandalwood fills the air, but I ignore it. I'm too focused on trying to get away from Chad and the rest of my past to actually notice anything else.I can finally breathe in relief once I make my way out of the company itself. The driveway isn't empty; there are a lot of cars there, but I bypass them all. My phone beeps. I quickly reach into my bag and pull it out. I see that there is an email from the manager of the company."You got the job," it read. "Work starts 7:00 a.m. tomorrow."I stand there for a while, just doing nothing. I'm torn between being overly joyful about the fact that I finally have a job that's going to pay way more than the hotel ever did and will be less stressful. But then on the other hand, I just found out that Chad Travis works there too. I don't even care to know his status, but it's already turning into more

Nico's POVNow I had two options. To play oblivious and speak like I was only just knowing about her movements and being all smug about the fact that she took up my offer after all and traveled on a plane to LA. It was either I do that or pick up my phone and call her and demand to know who the fuck the other guy was.But that's the problem. I'm not sure that I'll be able to control myself then and it won't be a matter of seconds before I completely lose it and show up at the hotel myself. Yes, I already know where it is.I find the goodness in what I was going to do for us, but I still regret the fact that I didn't claim her as mine.And so to spare us both that reality, I decided to go on with the first line of action instead.I was already in a bad mood to begin with. All I wanted from her was to hear her voice; maybe that would make me feel better."Hello baby girl," I say. I easily slip the phone from one side of my face to the other side as I lay down on the swivel chair and fol

JASMINE'S POVThe next day.As I walk out of the hotel, a car is already parked, waiting for me. It has my initials customized on it, so it's impossible to miss. I take a deep breath.Turns out the manager wasn't kidding when he mentioned the house and cars that came with the job.As I come closer to the car, the windows wind down to reveal a blonde man in a black tuxedo suit and white long-sleeve top. He looks extra corporate, and I even notice a badge on his suit with the Ferrari corporation logo on it.At least now I know this wasn't a kidnapping, at least."Miss Jasmine Taylor?" he asks without looking in my direction. He pulls down his dark shades the slightest bit and tilts his head toward me.I give a nod. "That's me," I confirm.He reaches out and pushes the passenger seat door open.I clutch my bag close to me and step into the car.He gives a nod, and in a matter of seconds, he sets the car into motion."What a rather convenient life," I muse to myself. I can get used to it,

NICO POV—I put down the telephone that is on the table in my office and lean back in my chair, waiting for the magic to happen.I didn't plan to show up in the company today also, but it seems now to me that there would be a lot more fun here for now.And besides, I think as I glance at the schedule that my assistant handed to me.I have a meeting with the management board, and it's not even more than half an hour from now.I really don't care about that, but since I just happened to be here, I might as well grace them with my presence every once in a blue moon.Okay, the main reason was because I know that Chad is most likely to show up there in the meeting, and even though I'm not usually interested in any of my partners, he successfully caught my attention after getting closer than six feet to Jasmine.I tune him out of my mind and glance at the numerous cameras that are displayed on the screen of my laptop.I reach out and effortlessly navigate through the controls and zoom in to

JASMINE POV—Nico walks out of his office, leaving me there with a mixture of confusion and desire. I quickly get down from the table just in case any other person is about to walk into the room."Screw him," I curse under my breath. Somehow, he always manages to have his way all the damn time, and it is really starting to piss me off. But no, the real thing that pisses me off is the fact that no matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I act like I don't want him, that I want none of what he's offering, the more I seem to gravitate towards him and find him harder and harder to resist. And the scariest part is that he knows that too. Maybe even figured it out right from the onset. I take a deep breath and turn to the glass windows that are at the side of the room. His desk is not arranged and half of the files are on the floor. My ears turn pink, the little pieces of evidence nothing but a clear reminder of just what was happening a few moments ago. I tear my eyes away from th
