7. Not Special

Alyssa Pov

"Ah, where are you going?" Andrew asked with confusion. 

"To work, I have to walk as we can't let anyone know that you know me or something. Also, I don't know how to drive a car." I answered his unasked questions too.

"Come, you're going with me." Without even giving me a chance to say something he sat in the car.

Odd, but he was driving the car himself not asking some driver to drive it.

I was about to take a seat at the backside but his one look and I knew he wanted me to sit beside him.

After settling down in the front seat, I looked out of the window without a word. 

'Phew, he can be scary sometimes.'

Who knew I would be in a car with my husband.....it felt odd to say that. I never thought I would marry someone because of money, sounded like a gold digger thingy, but didn't I marry him because of his wealth?

'Don't be stupid, you needed the cash because of your mother.' Maybe my conscience was right. 

"Uh, what about the amount you have to give me?" I asked the man who was gazing ahead.

"Have deposit half of the payment, another half will be sent soon." He told me in a robotic voice. 'What's with his mood swings?'

"Is it his time of the month," I muttered but unfortunately he heard it as he glared at me.

"You saying something?" His voice was surely threatening.

"No?"

'What is happening to you, idiot!'

********

I reached the giant building but I was looking so out of the place. The place and people all appeared rich and I think I wasn't fitting here nevertheless I walked inside.

"Umm...Can you tell me on which floor the CEO's office is?" 

"What your name will be, miss?" He asked back politely.

"Alyssa-"

"Uh, Alyssa James Dalton? Right?" He said on which I nodded. He smiled and led me the way.

After meeting the secretary whose name was Emma? Maybe. She took me to the office which belonged to the Ceo. 

********

Okay, I was already tired. The boss of mine had given me eleven files to cheek in half-hour. Joke, as it seemed but it was true. I mean sure I asked him to not give me any special treatment but I was a new employee, he could have gone easy on me.

'How can I work this much?'

"Give this file to the head of the marketing department." The male ordered and I walked out not saying a word to him thinking that I would ask for help from the secretary but I couldn't find Emma who could assist me. Others were too into their work to tell me anything.

'This is bad, what should I do?'

*******

Should I close my eyes and just walk to anyone. I had found out on which floor the marketing head's office was but now there were two ways, left or right.

'Which way should I go to?'

Between my confusion, I forgot that I was standing in the middle of the corridor.

I was about to move ahead when someone ran into me and knowing I was about to fall I closed my eyes.

'Great, I'm gonna fall on the ground and will injure myself on the first day.'

It was all because of that jerk, pervert, idiot boss of mine. Insulting my boss as much as I could in my mind I didn't pay attention to that I never felt the pain.

Furrowing my brows, I slowly peeked out from one eye to see a guy's face.

The hands of mine that were placed on my eyes, I removed them from my face and opened my eyes to find myself looking at the male who was staring back at me with a small smile.

I tried to stand up but lost my balance again resulting in being caught by him again. My hands flew to hold his shirt tightly as he kept one hand on my back and saved my ass again.

"Careful there, pretty lady." He smiled and helped me up but my facial expression was changed into a serious one when I saw Andrew staring at me angrily.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you. I should get going." I bowed him a little and with a bye, he was gone.

Gulping hard I saw the male who dragged me the whole way to his office. 

Thud!

The door was closed and locked. Amazing, I was done for. But what did I do wrong?

'He's the one who is at fault.' I could only say all this in my mind because saying this out loud would make the angry man burst at me more. 

"I send you to give this file not to roam around flirting with men." Angry, he sat on the chair behind the table. 

"I w-wasn't flirting!" Why was I stuttering, it was embarrassing me?

"Oh really, then what was happening there?" I told him everything truly but what he said was idiotic.

"I should fire him then because it was his fault that all this happened."

"No! I mean it wasn't his mistake." This all was making me crazy. Why were we even talking about this small thing?

"Then was it your fault?" I was scared. Very bad thing because I kept stuttering.

"N-no!" How could I make him understand all this? Why was he all worked up on this?

A knock made him ask me,

"Open the door." Nodding I went to do so. Maybe he was finally letting me go. Emma entered the room and I tried to exit.

"Where are you going? I'm not done talking to you."

'Bad luck, Alyssa.' Slowly, biting my lips, I moved away from the door.

"Please give the file to her fastly, so much time has been already wasted," Andrew said to the secretary and after locking the door, I was once again standing in front of the table. 

"So? Who's at fault?" He asked calmly.

"You, because everything happened because of you. If only you would have asked someone to tell me the way. I don't even know anything about this place. You didn't ask anyone to give me a tour!" It was good to let it all out after mustering up as much courage as I could.

"You didn't have a tour with Ms. Emma?" I shook my head in no and he sighed.

What was going on in his mind? He walked near me and then kept his hands on either side of mine, above my hands. He was caging me between him and the table.

"What if I just lose my balance and kiss you? It won't be anyone's fault, hmm?" My eyes widened.

'He didn't kiss me at the wedding then why will he do that now?'

"Just let me go already! Why are you making such a big fuss about such an accident?" I tried to move but wasn't able to do so.

"But you broke the rules..." I bend backward as he moved forward. His face was dangerously close to mine.

"Shouldn't you get punished?" He whispered. What was going on huh? A scene from a movie or something. 

"I-I.....it won't happen again. Stop acting all bossy. And pervert!" I said as he patted my hip and then with a smirk went back to his chair.

"You have to do all this, today." Bigger than me, maybe I was being a little exaggerated but still, a pile of so many files was kept in front of me.

Was he serious?

"Yeah, I'm." 

Did I say that out loud?

"You did." I wanna beat myself for thinking out loud.

"Do I have to do this today?" A nod was all I got.

"Fuck you, bossy, arrogant man!" I just have to curse because of him. I Couldn't stop myself.

"What!?" He shouted from behind but I was already outta his room.

Today was my first and worst day here. I was excited about the coming days, note the sarcasm.

    I didn't know my life could be more worst than it already was until I started working for Andrew. He gave me piles and piles to check like I was a robot who would do everything without a stop. Even at lunchtime, I have to sit here and keep on doing work. Not only this, he would drag me to every meeting even if he was going to meet some girl who has been disturbing him, he would want me to accompany him because he wanted me to annoy them. It has been hell, whole last week. But today I asked that idiot to do some work himself cause I was going to the hospital for my mother's treatment. ********* "Ma'am to whom do you want to meet?" I looked up to see Emma asking a beautiful lady. Her long blond hair was opened and her red dress was fitting her perfectly. "I wanna see Andrew." She said in a high-pitched voice.

    I removed the strand of my hair from my face that was annoying me while reading the document. The whole floor was empty as everyone was gone for lunch except me and the jerk of a boss whose mood would change within a second. The strand was once again coming into my eyes creating a problem for me as I couldn't properly concentrate on the document I was checking. Just when I was about to move it, someone tucked it behind my ears. Sense of Deja vú washed over me but the difference was that it was Noah, not Andrew. "Why are you working at lunchtime, hmm?" He faced me with his hands in the pocket as his lower body was supported by my desk. "Because your friend in there had given me a ton of work while he sat in there easily." I burst out angrily, it felt good to let it out. Andrew had not only made my life hard in the office but at the home too, he would always find a way to tease or annoy me. The only good thing that was happening in my li

    Alyssa Pov "So you mean to say Andrew caused a big scene?" I asked Eva. Yesterday both of us thought to meet somewhere as today was Sunday and both of us were free. I thought everyone enjoy their Sunday, spent the day with family and friends but well now I knew not everybody would do that. Andrew went to the office because he has to complete some work and one of the maids told me that he was always like this. A workaholic. "Nah, just threatened the club owner to let you resign, that man was so adamant about keeping you." Resign? I didn't want to leave my job but anyway I let it slide, couldn't fight with him on this. "D'you know something unusual happened yesterday?" She asked and I furrowed my brows while saying 'no'. "Noah, the friend of the handsome husband of yours." I shushed her, why was she talking so loudly? The marriage thing just slipped out of my mouth but did my friend have to make more scenes than she already had. "He talk

    "I didn't say anything like that ma'am." Wow, she was quite brave to lie at my face. "Why would you say that, Alyssa." And I think my husband wished to die, cause I wanted to kill him. How he couldn't believe me? On top of that, he was taking Catherine's side. "Y'know what? I was a fool caring about your health! You are fine, live with your nanny forever. I will just go." Out of nowhere, anger was taking over me as I slammed the door shut behind me. *****" Plopping on the bed I stared at the ceiling as a sigh escaped my mouth, so much have changed. I have changed, but one thing that remained the same was the wish of having my father beside me. He was the only one who understood me well, from childhood I have shared everything with him but now..... A tear escaped my eyes and then one after another tear fell. Why did reality have to hurt so much? A knock on my door made me dry my face- that was now wet- and cough a little so my v

    Andrew kept complaining about being bored at home and asked me to take off too. I was already doing it because of Michael but still just to tease him I said no. "Come on, I'm the boss and I'm asking you to not go." Was he seriously whining? "But I have-" "I'm calling to Emma myself and telling her that you're not coming." He was about to take his phone but I remembered something, I haven't deleted his father's call from recent records. "I will do it myself!" He gave me a weird look but sat back and stared at my face making me uncomfortable. "Umm, you should lay down." Nodding he did the same. "Are you still mad?" I was about to walk out of the room but turned to look at him. Truthfully, I didn't know what to say, I did feel hurt that he was still believing Catherine more than me but strangely I wasn't angry. Shrugging my shoulders in uncertainty I ambled out of his room. ***** "

    "Why do I feel the old guy is planning something?" Andrew kept eating my mind about why we shouldn't go to Paris. "Just calm down, he is your father ain't an enemy." I put some pieces of apple in his mouth, so he could stop talking for a minute. "What if this is a plan of killing me?"Why did he have to think his dad was so bad? "Stop making assumptions, he doesn't hate you, if anything he cares about you so quit thinking absurd things." He narrowed his eyes while looking at me. "Are you with him now? Were you with him behind all this all along?" 'What does he think I'm? TSK, this man makes me angry.' "You took so long to understand this, idiot," I said sarcastically with an eye roll. "Think whatever you want to but I'm gonna give you advice sometimes things aren't what they look like, people you trust most can betray you. Sometimes strangers are better than the people you know but sometimes people you hate are the ones who

    I didn't know it, dude this surprise was too much. Michael didn't give any tickets it was an empty envelope with a letter that Andrew read. Why there weren't any tickets? Because they have their plane no need of any ticket. The inside was luxurious and I never knew it but the plane had a room too and a fridge filled with food. Everyone knew what I would have done the whole ride when my husband thought it was okay to shut his non-stop mouth and concentrate on some work, yeah, I practically ate everything. Didn't know when but I fell asleep on my seat and woke up on a soft bed. With a smile, that was present on my face without any reason, I walked to the bathroom and cleaned my face. "Ah, you're up, that's good. We are about to land so better take our seat." Nodding I followed the male. ****** It was beautiful, the surrounding had left me awed. I was so into the scenery that I didn't pay attention to the male who was smiling at me.

    "I see you're loving calling yourself my wife." He smirked on which I rolled my eyes. "Why would I like that?" "Because you like me and so it makes you feel good calling yourself my spouse." Before I could argue with him a waiter came asking for our order. But dude the thing that happened while ordering was awkward, more than the time when we walked into the elevator and encountered a couple who were having a make-out session. "What's the best drink you have?" "Sir there are many but people nowadays are liking sex on the beach." Coughing loudly with my eyes widened I looked at the young guy who was staring at us. "It's a drink ma'am." He continued fastly, clearly aware of where my thoughts were going. "I will have one glass of that and...." "Chocolate smoothie." I finished Andrew's sentence, who was smirking because of my reaction. *********** "But I don't wanna go." He complained.

    I unintentionally scowled while my mind went wild thinking about who this guy was, in a long black hoodie with his face covered and the baggy trousers were touching his black worn-out shoes. 'Is he a thief? Or is he a shabby-looking bodyguard of Andrew that's why the other two aren't paying much attention to him?' "What's with that face of yours? That man is no one you should pay attention to." Adrian said still not telling me who it was. Licking my lips I thought for a while, my eyes staring at the videos ahead of me before I signed. Maybe I should not think too much. Slumping back on the chair I stared around. Only three chairs were placed in this room, from which one was empty right now. The white walls were clean and empty... Just like my life, that was what came to my mind but I shook my head. I was happy now, but if this whole event didn't go well, then I didn't know what would happen. I roamed my eyes around to

    "Are you all fine with this plan?" I asked nervously because now when it was the day to put that idea into action I was hesitating, what if this plan was not good enough? What if she was already preparing for this? What if she knew about our intention behind calling her here? Many and many questions arose in my mind as I sat to think about 'how this night will come to an end?' "Come on, be a little sure of yourself. Everything will be fine." Noah as always cheered me up as I nodded. Even when Andrew didn't like Adrian, he was part of our plan and so the four of us were discussing one last time how things should go. "But why do Alyssa have to go with that man." Even after all the videos and conclusion, that the other guy was not at fault my spouse still didn't seem to be okay with him. I would say the same about me cause the hatred I had for Adrian for so many years couldn't just go within some days. It would take time for me to be okay with him. "Because they both are needed for t

    It looked unreal or something that was just said because for me it could never happen. Sometimes I wondered 'if that's true?' or 'could it occur in real life?' Because I did not believe in love or having someone you would want to spend your whole life with, without any thought of being bored with them; two people being together for their whole life was something I had lost my belief from. But then Andrew came, making me think all of my thoughts were wrong. He showed me how someone could love each other more than themselves when months ago they were just two strangers. He taught me that not everyone was the other's soul mate but every person did have a soulmate, he or she just hadn't found the right one that was why they were alone. When the right time would come the two people, who were right for each other, would meet. One of my old thoughts that changed now was that I thought no one could understand what other person was feeling, tone couldn't describe their emotion. But well

    Blink, blink, blink. Rubbing my eyes I stared inside the Cafe, some people gave me a look as to why I was staring at the eatery like that but I ignored them. People do nothing other than make their wrong assumptions and think bad about others. Maybe my husband taught me one nice thing which was to not care about others' thoughts, they might never be able to understand you or your situation. "Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing this," I muttered but then a question formed in my mind. 'Won't that female will know about this? Someone might have already told her about my and Adrian's meet-up. And now these two.' But then there was one more thing, it didn't matter to her. All she wanted was to break down my husband and separate us. That wouldn't be happening but we could act like that. The bell on the door pinged as I entered inside and walked straight for ordering something first. After placing the order I turned back to see the two guys who I wanted to talk to were glancing at me. Ro

    Confusing, frustrating, with no end or any idea of where to go. This was all I could say about the situation I was in. Staying away from my husband while having no work to relax me, yeah relax because now that I think by checking files and documents given by Andrew I would always be able to let myself forget about other problems, made my mind full of thoughts about Bonnie, Adrian and what was the truth? The cherry on the top, I had to move around with my face hidden behind a mask or hoodie, why? Cause just some days ago my shoulders were grazed by a bullet and later that day some men tried to kidnap me but thankfully I was able to run away. Didn't know who was behind this or why all this was happening but one thing was clear, which was to not walk around while showing my face. It was better to be like this, hidden in baggy clothes. Ding! The door opened and I exit the elevator, looking straight ahead of me I was opting for the main gate of the hotel when I heard a voice calling

    The long hoodie, that reached my thighs, and the baggy trousers were something I was comfortable in. Walking out of the big building with my face covered and some curious glances following me, I sat in the cab. I was busy texting some people who were quite good at getting information that might be hidden and couldn't be ever found. Andrew had made me meet them when he wanted to get some information about one of his soon-to-business partners, whose name I didn't remember. This time I was asking for their help in getting to know about Bonnie. Wanted to get out of my problematic life for a while I came to a park where I felt at peace. The cool breeze and green trees were something that was helping my mind to relax. A sigh escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes, I couldn't sleep for the last two days knowing my husband would be worried about me. Today I switched on my mobile and had above fifty messages and one hundred and three missed calls all from one person, my spouse. "I'm so sorry,

Some might think I have lost my mind while others would say I never had one, but I did and everyone has different ways of using it. Right now I couldn't think of anything else but to be here and face that male. "Wow, what a day! Alyssa has come to me without me asking for it. How come I'm blessed with your face today?" Inhaling slowly before exhaling I tried to calm myself. How could he joke and laugh like this? Well, maybe he could cause he never cared about others' feelings. "I'm serious here, what do you get from threatening and joking about things that are precious to others. You got a problem with me, with Andrew, okay, we will face you but why!? Why drag my friend and Michelle in this! He is your father too, for God's sake! Can't you just let him out of this hatred web in which you and my husband are?" I frowned as the male stared at me without a word.

    Andrew pov I was happy, a big smile that was spread across my face wouldn't go away even when my cheeks were hurting because of smiling too much. But how couldn't I smile? I was gonna meet my wife, my love, without her one day felt like a month. She laughed yesterday when I was saying pick up lines here and there while talking to her but nothing I said was a joke. She did look hotter than any other day in her night suit. Stopping myself from skipping my way towards the plane, like a happy child who was on his way to the candy shop, I did a handshake from the guy who had helped me from yesterday till now before calmly walking ahead. Even when my inside was anything but calm. ***** Not going to the office for looking after some work that had to be done today, as work can wait, I went home.

    When black clouds had ruled the sky and the small light that was showing the way was being taken away, anyone would be afraid to let that light disappear. A sensible person would be afraid to be lost without the light and the darkness wasn't a good thing to be lost in. But here I was worried about my light and what would happen with it? My husband who had always been the one saving me was going to some other city because of a business meeting and I was hella worried about him, his safety. The conversation I last had with Adrian was making me shitting bricks. "Is it necessary for you to go?" I questioned as he made me sit with him on the couch. "You see it's an important work that had to be done. And even when I don't want to leave you here I can't take you with me because you have to look after some work here. The stepbrother of mine won't let go of a chance like this to create a problem for my company and me." I sighed understanding him while keeping my head on his shoulder as he
