Chapter 3

I never thought that I'd ever have to look him in the eyes again. I never wanted to see him again and now I'm standing in-front of him wearing the necklace that he got me. I start shaking. I try my best to look fine but I'm freaking out on the inside.

He walks closer to me. " I see you're wearing the necklace I got you." He says with a really smug looking smile.

"I..." the words couldn't come out it was like I couldn't say anything my brain was blank all I could think is that I can't believe he's standing in-front of me.

Then I realize that this is the man who's gonna be the new CEO of G enterprises. I look to my parents. " Don't tell me he's the guy. Please don't."

" I am indeed." Enrique says walking even closer to me. He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. " Why do you always make things difficult? Why don't you want to be happy?"

" I do." I answer him but shortly after I realize that I don't owe him any explanation.

He moves even closer and places a soft kiss on my forehead.

I feel like my body wants to give in but then all of a sudden my brain tells me to put him in his place.

" You have no right to do that anymore." With a bit of a whimper is all I could get out.

" I won't work for you." I finally manage to say. " Now that you're here I can go back to university and finish my studies. You already got what you wanted."

" You can't go back Princess. You have to stay here and work for me the university won't take you back,your dad won't help you either."

" I can go to a different university." I sigh and roll my eyes.

"Still rolling your eyes at me." He says. His expression darkens like it used to when I either yelled at him or roll my eyes at him like I just did. Enrique has always been really angry, he took a lot of his stress out on me but he never dared to hurt me which made me wonder if he actually loved me but it's too late now.

" I know you won't go to university." My dad says " You've always been too obsessed with Enrique and your looks to care about school.”

“I’ve always worked really hard. I care about school and I’ve grown up so Enrique is the last thing on my mind.”

I shoot a look that say ‘Don’t mess with me’ at both Enrique and my dad.

I storm upstairs and I immediately grab my phone to call the dean at Harvard.

“Hello Dean Anderson.”

“Yes this is he.Who am I speaking to?”

“ This Cheryl Garcia. I would like to come back to Harvard.”

“Your father already called me.” He says “Unfortunately we can’t take a student back who dropped out for no reason.”

“Okay I understand.” I say before hanging up. A part of me is sort of relieved. Feeling Enriques soft lips on my forehead made me wonder what kissing him again would feel like. I don’t truly know if my feelings for Enrique are still there. I don’t know what I feel but I do remember how I used to feel. I felt like I was always safe when he was with me. I looked at him as this strong protector type. The kind of guy that would kill for me because I would’ve done everything for him. I would’ve surrendered myself completely. I couldn’t bare the thought of getting an apartment with him our last year at Harvard. I think that’s why I ended it so early. I couldn’t think about a future with him beca when I did I saw myself obeying his every rule,doing whatever he says. That wasn’t me. That’s why I had to end it but a stupid drunken mistake ruined everything and now I’m stuck here in New York forced to submit to him again.

Then I get the craziest thought. What if I worked with him and showed him I’m not that same person he fell for back then. I am strong, independent and I don’t bow down to any man. Which is exactly how he made me feel sometimes. Whenever he needed to go I felt like I needed to kneel in-front of him and basically beg him to stay but I’m not weak anymore.

I march downstairs and into the living room where Enrique is sitting with Marco while my dad’s in his study and my moms probably smoking a cigarette somewhere.

“Fine I’ll work for you. However you’re not gonna make me do stupid chores like get lunch, coffee or do your laundry.”

He looks at me confused. “ Princess I would never make you do those things. I’ll treat you like the perfect princess you are. No stupid chores.”

“Really?” I ask completely taken aback.

“ Of course my princess deserves nothing but the best.” He walks closer to be and I back up until he has me pinned against the wall. I look over to Marco for help but he’s too busy on his phone to care about anything.

“ I’ll even get you lunch,coffee maybe dinner.” He says “ Only of you do something for me. You have to completely submit to me . You have to mine and only mine.”

I look at him with the most devilish smile I’ve had in a while.

“ I’m gonna tell you the same thing I told you the last time you said that. You have to earn it.”

“ Of course little princess.” He says with a smug smile like it’s easy to win me over.

“ I’m not your princess and I’m not little.” I say clearly looking up at him.

“ Oh yes you are.” He says patting me on the head making me frown.

I suddenly hear my phone go off. I take it out and it’s a message from an unknown number. I walk away from Enrique as I open the message.

“ Be careful my little devil. I’m coming back for you soon and I’d rather not have him around.”

The words ‘little devil” immediately stands out to me there’s only one person who ever called me th
