Parting his lips, Jordan placed the burning cigarette on his mouth and stood up from his seat before walking towards his shelves containing all his important documents related business, but soon there a light tug on his arm stopped his actions. It was her, he knew it cause no one other than her had the audacity to enter and exit his cabin without his permission. His wife, Hattiea. Or maybe the woman pretending to be his wife? Jordan's dark eyes landed on the culprit immediately with darkness but as soon as he found her behind him close to him... He got lost for a moment or so... The proximity rose slight tension between them. Raising her fingers up, Hattiea pulled the burning cigarette out from his mouth which was still resting on his lips. Her delicate fingers brushed his chin and lips softly. Following by the smoke, he released his minty breath in slight awe, her breath taking face was so close to his face. They both never came so close to one another actually. Even though it had been quite of time getting married with one another, they minded their boundaries well. As it was not any marriage of love for them but a marriage full of compromises. Hattiea's eyes soon travelled up from his lips back to his eyes, which were still staring at her ditching their shame. "It's dangerous for your health." Hattiea exclaimed hinting his smoking habit, while looking right into his eyes. Her hazel eyes were blank yet they held millions of emotions. "So are you!" Jordan's smoky breath caressed her face. The deepness of his voice solely made Hattiea's heart race million times faster. It was true... she was dangerous for him. Way too dangerous to handle.

Having the clear idea about how their boss's ill mood could cause a literal disaster any minute soon, none of the employees dared to caught his eyes by any chance.In fact minding their very own businesses while sticking on their seats everyone only exchanged glances of fear and nervousness.It was late none. The lunch time!And none even dared to approach the boss, Jordan Lawrence to offer him lunch fearing his temperament.He didn't come out of his cabin to have his lunch himself either, nor others tried to cause any disturbance knowing well what the consequences can promise.All the eyes at this point seemingly only waited for one person impatiently, she was the only lady with possible dare who can make their boss do things in her own way.Mrs.Hattiea Lawrence, boss Jordan Lawrence's wife!The heavy environment was actually caused by her absence today, witnessing the boss coming alone in the headquarters then locking himself up in the cabin angrily was not much hard thing to predict.Mrs.Hattiea Lawrence was not there with him and it bothered the boss that she just disappeared without even telling him where she was going.He was in an angry mood to mind others.Very soon then the wait ended for the lady who finally welcomed herself in the tensed headquarters of Lawrence's, late at noon.Her sharp eyes had always been her main charm, her heels slapping the strict floor was the only sounded heard in the pin drop silence as the employees only looked at her with their huge sockets with surprise.Relieved but confused too, they were.Seeing her so calm and confident like nothing even happened, caused the employees to gulp in literal nervousness.How can she be so calm after causing such an environment behind her back?Nobody can understand her sometimes. She was boss Jordan's secretary first than being the boss's wife, she had much more greater responsibilities which was more important than being personal at workplace.Right?The tale of their pair was actually quite complicated to understand for people. Both were recently married.They were newly weds of only a week. Jordan was said to meet Hattie only few months ago and sooner after she was appointed as his secretary right away without any questions.Months went by in secret.Yet the talk of marriage was still unpredictable among the two but it did happen in short months.They got married in only a night without having any grand ceremony, in fact keeping the process simple they just released only a statement of getting one in the press.Which shortly brought them a lot of publicity.No one ever predicted that both might be dating in secret before their wedding, it was one impossible thing to imagine after all.Jordan Lawrence was said to have no heart for anyone, he never even hinted that he had a thing for Hattiea until the news of their marriage made the headlines.He was never seen having any romantic relationships with anyone before his marriage too so it was one impossible thing to believe that his eyes always searched for someone all the time, who could be Mrs.Hattiea Lawrence.How could he melt his nature that easily when it comes to her? Some rumoured their bond as a great love tale and some envied the pair of both to name it as a publicity stunt.But still the relationship of both remained unsolved for everyone.At the moment, none actually minded the other scenarios about the pair but only one that boss Jordan needed only his to be calmed down and get normal.Hence she was the only rescue at the moment for everyone!"Mrs.Lawrence, you are finally here!"One of the lady employee approached Hattie in urgency.Meanwhile, looking at the lady's face for short seconds and detecting clear nervousness, Hattie frowned a little."What's the matter?"She questioned blankly in authority while the lady employee shook her head before stating the reason of her worry."Terrible. It's Mr.Lawrence."The lady gulped a hard lump down on her throat before addressing her angry boss and looking back to his silent and scary cabin.His aura today literally intimidated the entire headquarters and figuring the issue well, Hattiea understood what really could go wrong today with everyone."This is the file he had requested this morning."The lady employee next pronounced with hesitation before handing a file towards Hattiea.While frowning at her statement, Hattiea acted a little foreign."Why can't you just handle it to him yourself?"Hattiea questioned making an excuse out of the talk to avoid the event of meeting him.She knew well that Jordan was angry because of her sudden disappearance.Hattiea tried to walk pass the lady employee and was about to approach her cabin instead but just then the lady's next statement stopped movements again."Mrs.Lawrence, Mr.Lawrence ordered to give this file to you, h-he said he wants you in his office as soon as you arrive!"Hattie's body stopped working for a minute or two, while her sharp eyes became blank and emotionless."Don't make it more worse, please Mrs.Lawrence. I have a family to feed."The lady employee uttered almost in a sound of beg, her tone hinted that she was about to cry any minute.She was fearing to lose her job.As then finally, Hattiea understood the seriousness of the situation. Jordan was finding her and if not she showed up at his cabin then the lady employee whom he demanded to get her would get fired without even having any fault in all of this.Hattie sighed a long breathe. She cannot be so heartless to cause such a misfortune to someone.Hence, minding her actions the next second she accepted the file from the lady quietly without any argument, Hattiea's expressions were emotionless and dead.The lady then mumbled an emotional thankful to her before leaving back to her seat silently.Hattiea then changed her path and walked over to Jordan office's door elegantly but emotionlessly.Soon knocking on the door of his, she heard a husky deep growl of anger..."Come in."That hinted her to come in, hearing his voice so raspy and dark like that Hattie's heart sure started beating more rapidly for reasons unknown.Turning the knob next, she then entered inside the pin drop silent cabin professionally.Eyes were straight and firm, she walked over to his desk in a formal manner.And just then the strong scent of smoke invaded her nostrils as soon as she welcomed herself near him. He was again smoking.And this time it was more worse. He seemed to be smoking for hours now."Your file, Mr.Lawrence-"With a straight voice, Hattiea kept the file in front of him. He turned his entire attention to her at instant there then. His dark brown eyes were like deep ocean, he started staring at her intensely without any word for a minute.That actually wasn't a stare but an angry glare.Gaining no response in return and seeing no movement from him, Hattie just remained quiet and let his deep eyes roam around her body. His eyes darkened more and he clenched his jaw tightly.Hattiea waited for what she came for silently."Why were you late? Where have you been all this time?"Jordan's deep and dark voice echoed round the space of two, with domination.NEXT DAY "Jessica I want everything to be perfect, they could be here anytime. Today's board conference is very important for me and I cannot allow any mistakes!" Wearing extremely busy aura, Jayson paced around the office being tensed with one of his employee who was assigned to arrange today's board conference with one of the biggest and greatest investors of America. The Lawrence's. Obviously, Jayson was tensed since he was informed that the Lawrence's were interested in his agency and wanted to meet him as soon as possible. It was all so sudden for him to take in but at the same time, it was exactly what he had been aiming for so long. He wanted to gain their attention. He finally caught it. That was exactly why he went to the event yesterday. It did work for him! "Understood Mr.Jayson!" The employee replied professionally while soon reaching the cabin following Jayson behind to address him about the conference's arrangements. Entering inside, he sighed deeply pinching
"Saying absolutely unexpected things out of no fucking where Jordy. That's fucking scary." Sebastian claimed all surprised, tilting his head at the direction of the woman ahead who seemingly disappeared from his view the other matter of second.Jordan's frown eased up a bit as he looked away hiding his eyes, saying nothing in his defence. Immediately proving his friend's point right in a manner.Hence taking the lead of the conversation further on, Sebastian charged his friend a question about what was in his mind. "What do you want me to do about her next? What are your plans with her?" Sebastian questioned bluntly. Obviously now that they finally found her, they need to approach her as quick as possible.Considering the doctor's advice in a serious account, both the individuals were well aware that his mother's condition was getting serious day by day. They really don't have time to waste trying to act upon anything, all they knew for now was they needed to get that woman read
"I do? Then why the hell did you contact Lawrence's when I literally told you not to! Do you even know what could be wrong if we fail again, you will have countless debts on you and our company will be bankrupted. That's the sort of aftermath you can't afford at the moment Jayson!"Hattiea shouted out loud without bothering being watched or filmed by anyone.Cameras and people, she cared least about at the very moment.Launching both of her fists over Jayson's chest aggressively caused him to jerk backwards again but getting a hold over himself, he again stood strong with his amour of defenceless confidence.He eventually caught the hold of her fists, pulling her in towards him. Face to face for a brutal confrontation."For once, why can't you think about the bright picture Hattiea? Think about the positive aftermath, what if we'll rock the deal? Our company will touch the sky like never again. Why the fuck do you always have to be negative?"Instead of sounding convincing, Jayson's s
"Jordan Lawrence?" Jayson found his voice back but unlike the other confused faces present in the hall, he seemingly acted shocked and too captivated by the man who betted 50 million dollars for a mere ring... His action also attracted Hattiea's attention immediately as she frowned at him deeply. Indeed, she'd heard the name of 'Jordan Lawrence' before in her career multiple times but just like others, she never met before in events like this. He was never seen in public. Today was indeed special to have him here out of all the places. But that didn't surprise Hattiea much like the fact that he was the same man who tried to molest her back in the hallways? He was none other than the god father of the entertainment and fashion industry round the entire states of America, the same creepy stranger who tried to kidnap her earlier? Acknowledging all this, Hattiea's noticed also Jayson's dumbfounded face, with a hint of curiosity for that man. Jayson seemed to act like he knew somet
"50 million dollars and sold!" The host leading the auction accepted the final bid, nodding to Jordan. As soon as the host announced, crowd's attention drafted towards the the owner of the most expensive jewel of tonight.Gasps were heard from the crowd as everyone's eyes found the one who bade the highest only for a ring? Guessing he must be a man of crazy expenses. They were indeed right! The same minute Jordan's cold expression turned out to be more arrogant as he smirked ironically, winning the bid with a single strike. His presence alone was holding so much power to reveal that he wasn't any easy personality obviously to be able to afford the jewel of tonight.Jordan stood up from the VIP section dusting his suit once. Next snaking his right hand inside his pocket holding zero emotions whatsoever over his face. Having every single eyes on him yet he was not paying attention to anyone in the room but only one.Hattiea's eyes found him staring at her as she felt weird chills
"I can no longer allow you in my heart, if anything... you will only have me for the sake of the favours you did to me in the past. Business is what you always chose, business is what you are going get from me."Hattiea firmly cut Jayson's statement off, shutting him up for a good couple of minutes to process her words in complete shock. Her eyes were cold as she looked right into his ones, making it crystal clear for him to get her denial right. She wasn't going to get infatuated by his sweet talks ever again. He made enough fool of her, now not anymore. Acknowledging Hattiea's guided speech against him, Jayson gulped in silent guilt. He too knew well that Hattiea wasn't like any other women who would like to be persuaded with money or any luxurious assets. If anything, she would want only love and honesty from a person. Nothing else. Hattiea was seemingly broken. She was heartbroken and that's what caused her to question her interest in her relationship with Jayson. They h
"Took a while to find the restroom!" Blinking long and hard, Hattiea finally opened her lashes steading herself to face her so called fiancé with enough confidence to look unfazed and fine.She made sure not to mention anything about the incident happened back in the hallway.It was weird, so weird. She should tell her fiancé about the stranger who stalked her and tried to take her somewhere with him, held her, threatened her and what not in the span of last 10 minutes. The stranger could have done anything to her and sure as hell she would have needed Jayson's help desperately. But strangely she did not want to mention a word about anything anymore. Not when, she was too enraged by Jayson to make her come here to attend a freaking charity event at the very first place. It was all because of him. He made her attend the event when she didn't even want to come. If he hadn't forced her then all of this wouldn't even have happened. Most definitely, Jayson was to be blamed for ever
"I am not kidding either. At least not with a lucky meat like you!"Jordan uttered as Hattiea's eyes widened at his indirect use of humour. There was something he tried to imply by that 'lucky meat' but Hattiea was too distracted to give it a thought. Her entire attention was directed on how Jordan held her captured. Seemingly wearing a pair of high heels with a long revealing gown tonight was a huge mistake. She fount it difficult to handle her own weight at this situation, while struggling to strengthen herself.But soon she felt Jordan wrapping his arms around her more tightly making her unable to move...Hattiea landed upon Jordan's warm embrace while trying to balance herself, although the amount of rude force he applied was a messy move indeed. Jordan pulled her forward towards him with a deep sigh. That gave Hattiea clear chills down her spine. Her heart raced million times faster and her pupils dilated in clear fear at this point. He was not at all using force on her lik
Though the soundless hallway now no longer echoed the sound of the smack Hattiea just planted over Jordan's face being upright, but the pinching silence started crowding both of their respective spaces in no time. Which was so loud to ignore, indeed quite serious too. Jordan Lawrence was a man of heavy pride. The entire world acknowledged him with that very title. The man who dominates the industry, the man responsible for millions of family being fed and taken care of every single day in the entertainment industry...He was no easy personality, let alone never a man who tolerates disrespect against him. He never allowed even a finger against him all those years of his life. Let alone a direct slap being directed towards his face so easily... that was unexpected.Too unrealistic to make believe for others. If someone had witnessed the scene their working pair of eyes then it sure would be quite an entertaining headline for tomorrow round the entire states of America. Jordan Lawr
