Chapter 5

ODD WILSON

Was it her, the woman I had trapped in my apartment, the one who keeps me sleepless? I don't remember her hair like that either, that color.

I sat at my desk analyzing that girl, she had the same height, and the same small waist and when I entered the Office recently, I saw her back at me and that reminded me of the other night. It had to be her.

"Adonis, come here for a second.

I called him on the intercom, I was impatient for him to tell me the cause of his laughter before I got there.

"You, Grumpy? Calling me?

"Stop the joke, why were you laughing with her?

"With whom? "He played dumb, I narrowed my eyes in his direction showing my bitterness.

"Stop playing games and answer the question.

I growled, leaning toward him.

"It's none of your business the cause of our laughter, otherwise ask her yourself.

"Fuck you, Adonis, get out of here. " I spoke full of anger sitting back down on the desk.

"Hey it's not my fault you don't know if it's her and you can't even look at her for more than two seconds, you're the almighty Wilson, what's stopping you?

"I'm not sure if it's her. And even if it is, I don't care.

My voice came out angry, I was very angry.

"Ask her.

"No.

"Then die with doubt.

"Neither.

"Do whatever the fuck you want Odd, just hold your balls and make up your mind.

With that said, he stormed out of my office, there were a few times Adonis and I argued, but when we did we were proud.

A light knock on the door broke me from my thoughts.

"Come in.

"Here you go sir, your black decaf coffee with no sugar.

I nodded as if it was the most normal thing I could have done, but in reality, I was amazed at her way of getting information, only Grace knew I liked it decaf.

She approached the table, I could tell how her hands were shaking and how nervous she was. She placed the coffee on my desk and took two steps away as I like it.

"Have a seat.

I demanded pointing to either of the two chairs in front of me. I watched her sit down slowly, her dress lifted a little higher letting me see her legs.

"As you know, you are my assistant. Here is my schedule. " I said extending a series of papers and calendars to her. "You will go with me wherever I have to go, you will also be my chauffeur.

"Driver?" she asked a little confused, I don't think she knew about this part.

"Yes Is there something bothering you?

"No sir, go ahead.

I went on to tell her about some meetings and how she will be after me or getting me what I needed. My eyes went from her face to her breasts, fuck, the more I looked at her the more I wanted to prove that it was her.

"Miss Smith, I would like to ask you something.

I said arranging my bow tie and sitting upright on my big chair.

"Tell me.

"You were the young lady who came to my apartment a few days ago?

My question hung in the air, his gaze dropped to his hands.

"I don't know what you're talking about sir.

I crossed my arms, I felt something was wrong, I didn't like him at all.

"You'd better not know Miss Smith because if I find out that you're involved, I'll have to take action.

"I really wouldn't know...

"You can go now, I don't need you now.

I cut off whatever she wanted to tell me, I didn't want to look at her face any longer, and I was angry for many reasons.

I watched her get up and walk towards her small office, when I made sure she had closed the door I stood up like a demon to the outside.

"Good morning Sir…

"Not now Diana, cancel all my meetings today.

I walked out without saying a word to anyone, started my car, and flew out of the company. My head kept replaying her nervous face and it made me angrier.

"Fuck! " I exclaimed hitting the steering wheel.

I must have had every intention towards her, good or bad, this would not end well for either of us. I promised myself never to fall under the hands of a woman again and I will keep my promise.

3 YEARS AGO...

"Where are you, Celia? You told me to come to your apartment, but I don't see your car, call me when you get this.

I hung up the call in anguish, I had just received a message from a private number saying: Love, I need you, come to my apartment urgently.

My heart was beating for her, Celia Clark had taken over my heart and my mind, I was hers completely. I couldn't think of anything happening to her, I would do anything for her.

Impatiently, I paced back and forth in front of her apartment, when suddenly there was a rumbling sound inside and then laughter.

"Celia? "I called, but no one answered, I approached the door and as I put a hand on the door handle it swung open.

I walked in closing it behind me, her apartment had all the lights off, except for her bedroom, you could see the light around the door. I slowly approached and could in the background hear moaning, my heart started pounding and my body breaking out in a cold sweat, this wasn't happening.

I pushed open the door to find Celia standing over the man I held in high esteem and opted him out of my family.

"What the fuck? " I exclaimed with fury gnawing at my insides, they both quickly walked away and Celia began to cry. Oh yeah bitch, cry all you want.

"Cousin, let me get this straight...

"Shut the fuck up Richard, you are not my cousin and you never will be, wallow with her again I'm not interested in either of you anymore.

I approached him at a fast pace and punched him in the face, then I looked at him and decided I needed to suffer more, the son of a bitch.

I left the apartment with blood on my hands, not mine. Richard was taken to the hospital and put in intensive care, that's when I realized how far I could go, he felt the rage could take me over.

I saw Celia again when I visited the hospital, he told me that she visited him often and that made me sick. I never saw her again in my whole life.

*

I promised myself never again to trust any other woman who only wanted my money. That's why I took refuge behind sex without commitment and one-night stands, no one fell in love and everyone was happy.

I arrived at my apartment, and with courage still in my throat I poured myself a glass of Whisky, she needs it.
