“I will get it done as soon as possible,” Dimitri promised before the call was ended and i was left in the suffocating silence of my office, sinking into the leather seat, feeling a headache make it's presence known.

Alexander was a slippery bastard, he was no where to be found, despite all of my connections…unfortunately the man knew me more than anyone else, he knew exactly who would come for him and what my next moves would be.

At this point, it felt like a one sided fucking game. One I never had any intention of playing and now I was losing.

I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling sick and tired of everything at that point. I knew he wouldn't try anything, not now that I was on high alert…that did not stop me from being worried.

Last thing I wanted was to put my family at risk. The company especially, I had to be careful.

With a heavy sigh, I rubbed my heavy, aching eyes, my eyes darting to the clock on the side.

It was almost 12 am.

And I was still at work.
