Chapter 2

'My name is Collen McDermott. I suppose one could claim I am a creature of habit, well in one case anyways.'  For some time now every day during lunch Collen would go to the park that was close to his work. When he had hit a rough patch in his life a friend was kind enough to take him here. Instantly Collen was awestruck, It was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen, so many different flowers, so many different colors. Even if just for a small amount of time, it felt as if all of his worries, all of his pain just disappeared so long as he gazed upon this beautiful garden. He would never say he had the worse childhood and upbringing, but he would never say he had the best either. There was always turmoil in his heart from a young age. But It was safe to say it was in that moment he had some idea of what he wished to do with his life for the first time in many years. "Oh look at him, he's quite handsome." "He most certainly is, but he l

Chapter 3

During the walk to Collen's work Alison at first was completely unsure what to make of him. He probably looked like a complete mad man walking down the sidewalk speaking really loud and waving my hands around in grand gestures like a fool. In his defense though, at first Alison was probably more then fifteen feet behind him, but the more he continued to talk about completely random things she began walking closer and closer. Collen was quite certain over time he began to see some light begin to shine in her eyes again, but afraid if he turned to take a good look it would end up scaring her off he just continued to lead the way to his work place.'I was hoping my efforts would bear more fruit in cheering her up, but still better then her running off afraid and permanently scarred.' As it stood Collen had fought the urge to kill the miserable prick who had done this to Alison, but if he found out this day mentally broke her, he promised himself he would track him down and end h

Chapter 4

"Alison is that you?" A familiar voice echoed through the lobby. Dread instantly began to wash over Alison. Slowly she turned towards the voice. Although there was no doubt in her mind who the voice belonged to she could not help but silently pray to god. 'Please please, be any one else. Work some sort of magic to make it someone else!' Unfortunately her fears were completely founded, it was Daphne. "Well isn't this a wonderful surprise to see you here." A nasty smile spread over her face.  "Oh is this a friend of yours Alison?" Sierra asked smiling warmly. "Oh no, I would never call someone like her my friend. Alison honestly why would you even come here? Especially dressed like that. I bet this woman thought you're some sort of assault victim." "I was." "Whatever helps you get through the door I suppose." She shrugged turning her attention to Sierra. "You girl, I would like some water."  "What kind of receptionist are you?

Chapter 5

Everyone stared wide eyed at Collen. No one ever expected him to say such a thing. "When you rethink your ways, maybe, just maybe will you have a chance. We don't need anyone who slept their way to the top." "Who do you think you are to say such a thing!? BOY TOY! How hypocritical can you possibly get? You know what I'm quite certain I heard something from my father about Evelyn getting her position by sleeping w-" 'That's it!' POW! Collen drove his fist into Tanner's eye who dropped to the ground like a sack of bricks. "That's one fucking thing to far!" Collen was absolutely enraged. 'There is no chance in hell I'm letting him go after that comment.' "You damn rich boys all think your so much better than everyone else. You don't even deserve this job! Without daddy's connections you would not even be able to keep a bottom dollar job a trained monkey could do!" Collen climbed on top of Tanner and punched him again. "Man his acc

Chapter 6

Alison sat cringing trying her best not to think of what may be taking place on the other side of that wall. 'I've seen to many times what happens when an average worker becomes the target of a rich person.' In her mind there was no doubt Tanner was doing everything in his power to have Collen fired... And for what? He was defending herself and other's, including the person who was about to fire him.What was minutes began to feel like an eternity as Alison sat waiting. What she would do to hear what was happening inside that room. After thirty minutes of waiting Alison could hear the sounds of the door unlocking. Both Collen and Tanner were leaving the room and  looked horribly depressed as they were passing by, although one thing that stood out was the fact now they both looked as if they were beaten up. "Collen!" Alison ran over moving in front of him. "What happened!? Is everything ok?""Alison please come in now, we have much to discuss."

Chapter 7

When the elevator doors opened, Daphne was standing by Alexander tapping her foot impatiently. Although Alexander also looked extremely displeased he did a much better job hiding it. Especially when  he saw Evelyn the smile of a wolf in sheep's clothing spread across his face. "Eve, darling it is good to see you again!" "Alexander, I was unaware you were the one representing this child." "As I am sure you are aware, I came here after discussing a possible collaboration between some of our models with Tanner. Although I must say, I am quite disappointed with our welcoming. First a receptionist that seems completely incompetent and rude, then some dumb Irish bastard, insulted not only me but poor Daphne without cause." Alexander heaved a clearly exaggerated sigh and threw his arms out. " Now I am beginning to wonder if I should be seeking out another  agency to work with." Evelyn listened to Alexander's long drawn out performance. Who does thi

Chapter 8

"What about Alexander?" Daphne spoke up suddenly with a look concern."That clown you're better off without him, he will use you and throw you to the side in the end." Collen shrugged."No I mean I'm under contract with him.""Don't worry, we will take care of that. As long as you show how sincere you are during this week. Just enjoy your time in the hotel Collen is going to set up." Evelyn sighed. "This is going to be a headache." Sierra ran over to Collen handing him a piece of paper. "Well ladies, I have to make a few phone calls. I'll leave you to it." The atmosphere had become much lighter after Alexander left. "So will things be ok? I know that guy Tanner seemed to really dislike Collen.""Oh you don't have to worry about him. I fired him, he was only here to return a favor to his father." "Do you mind if I ask what happened in the office?""Hmmm." Evelyn crossed one arm over her chest and cupped her chi

Chapter 9

Alison had swore today would be  the day! The day things would finally turn her way, the day she would finally get a real contract with a respectable company. She just would never have imagined that it would begin the way it had. The would be hero Daniel Burgundy actually turned out to be would be molester or worse. The man she had doubts about had turned out to be the hero. One of, if not the most kind person she has ever been fortunate enough to meet.Evelyn had bid farewell to Daphne, Sierra, and Alison a few minutes ago, the girls were now waiting for Collen to finish making his call at Sierra's desk."No....NO!.. Well how about you read the damn caller ID and you will know where I'm calling from, or do you spend all your money of roofies to use on the women you represent you prick! Look I don't care, Listen here Mr. Boggerdeedee If I find out you or your brother come near here again or anyone we represent I will bring the damn building down on top of your head!

Chapter 10

"Would you believe me if I said I am the owner?"Alison, and Daphne both turned to look at Collen simultaneously. Collen sat on the bar stool looking to the girls with a calm smile on his face. They both were searching Collen's eyes with their inquisitive gazes glued to him searching for the truth. Their expressions both seem to say the same thing in the end. 'Impossible.''There's no way right? He works a desk! He was being beaten on by the Tanner guy.' At this point Alison could not help but trust Collen almost completely, but this.. This was just too much for her to accept. It would make him a billionaire who was walking around in Blue jeans, rescuing women in danger, placing himself in danger that being said! What billionaire does that?Daphne was having very similar thoughts. She had not been rescued by Collen, had any kind of interaction with him that would make her head over heels for him, or place her trust in him completely. So she was doing her best to ga
