Chapter 1: The debt

I don’t need to look back to know that Alex is following me, the feeling of utter terror in the back of my head is enough to know that he is here. I try to speed up my pace, although I know that won’t help at all, Alex can follow me persistently for hours, no matter the pace, no matter what I do when he decides to follow me, every time I look back he is there. And he already knows the way from my work to my apartment by hard, even though I have tried to take different routes to confuse him.A few months ago I didn’t even know that Alessandro Ricci existed and now he has turned my life upside down. Before Alex, I didn’t know what hate was, nor fear... when I was a little girl I used to be afraid of ghosts, but that was a fake fear because the ghosts were imaginary, Alex is real and so is the terror that overcomes me every time he is near.I take an unexpected turn and walk into a convenience store, the cashier is a fat man with curly hair that barely even notices me when I enter, he is

Chapter 2: Not an option

Once I get to the tiny ugly apartment Eddie and I live in now, I feel instantly better. I feel safe here, maybe this is not the house we grew up in, but this is home now. We had to move out of our previous house after my parents died, the rent was just too much for us two to pay and my dad’s mechanical workshop was too much in debt, so we lost that too. I find my brother still

Chapter 3: Humiliated

The desk phone rings. It’s one of the inner lines, which means someone is calling me from inside the company. I grumble because I can imagine who is calling. “Thunder Motors, Inc., this is Emma Green, how can I help you?” I reply automatically as I was taught on my first day here. My skin crawls the moment I hear Julia Anderson’s voice. It was her who I was expecting to be calling... unfortunately I was right.

Chapter 4: A new opportunity

My heart is pounding against my chest as I walk to the Human Resources department. I can’t get fired, I can’t get fired. I really need this job. There are just too many debts to pay, I can’t afford to be unemployed right now. I furrow my brow as the elevator doors open on the 15th floor. Eddie needs me... I can’t lose this job. I do my best to hold my tears back, but when I’m about to reach the HR department I’m no longer able to contain myself and I have to turn around and run towards the nearest restroom. I barely make it. I start to cry hysterically the second I reach the restroom. I can’t help it. If I lose this job my brother is going to die. This is just too stressful. I can’t believe I’m losing my job over the silly thing that happened yesterday at the board meeting, but I guess

Chapter 5: Not Hannah

I sit on my new desk and I comb my hair with my fingers nervously. Mr. Leopold Beckett is about to arrive. I try to look competent to give a good impression. I don’t want any mishaps like yesterday. I’ve been his assistant for the last 35 minutes without him knowing about it. I hope he has no complaints because I could really use the raise.Overall I feel happy, an hour ago I was crying inside the lady’s restroom convinced that I was about to get fired, but now I have a new job and a raise. So things turned out pretty good for me. Eddie is going to be thrilled when I tell him. He is being really struggling to find a job to pay for his debts. I can’t blame him, neither of us are not the most qualified workers. At least he is trying, but for now, I’m the only income we have.I keep looking down the hallway towards the elevators. Leopold Beckett is going to be here any second now. I imagine what he is going to look like, probably like his father, a chubby redheaded short man with blue eye

Chapter 6: Let go

At five o’clock I knock on Jame’s office door.“I’m about to leave, do you need something before I go, sir?” I ask shyly. “Why? Because you have been so useful so far?” He replies rudely. I clench my fists. This man is a jerk!

Chapter 7: The office party

It’s been three weeks since I started working for Leopold Beckett, three long nightmarish weeks where he has been rude, demanding, and unbearable. But at least I have a good-paying job and I remain hopeful that he will leave any day now for one of his trips around the world. It must be my luck, because according to Sylvia he has never been in the office so many days in a row before, even she is surprised that it is taking him so long to leave again. All I can do right now is to wait patiently for the day when he finally stops showing up to the office.Today is our office’s anual party. Apparently it is a big deal in this company and everyone is really excited. As everyone keeps telling me, Thunder Motors’ anual party it’s legendary. They invite not only the people from the office, but also a lot of important clients. I didn’t realize how big of a deal it was until I overheard a lot of my female co-workers talking about the dresses they bought specifically for this evening.At four o’cl

Chapter 8: Cheers

I turn around and I see him standing next to me, so close I can smell his fresh cologne. Alex smiles at me in a way that I can see he has perfectly aligned teeth. He is wearing a suit, trying to blend in, but his drop fade haircut along with his neck and hand tattoos make him stand out. “What are you doing here? I told you I will give you your money... this is a private party, Alex.” I whisper to him nervously.

Chapter 9: You spoke your mind

I let out a soft groan. My head is killing me. I press my face hard against the pillow. I suddenly startle as the memories from last night come to my mind. Did I dream it or did I actually told Leopold Beckett he was a bad guy and a jerk? Oh, no... I’m so getting fired!  I look around and gasp. Where am I? This isn’t my bedroom! How did I get here? This room is at least three times the size of mine, the place is so big that the king-size bed looks small in here. The sheets a

Chapter 10: Leopold

(Leopold P.O.V.)Nate, my driver, stops the limousine right in front of the office building. I look at my Audemars Piguet watch. It’s 9:25 am. Great, I am late again! My father is going to love giving me a hard time about it. I get out of the car and I reluctantly walk into the main lobby. Another long day in this office begins. I much rather go back to London, Ibiza, or Mykonos, or literally be at any other place on this planet except from here at Thunder Motors, Inc. Although I shouldn’t hate this company so much, after all, it has given me all of my money, but I can't help to feel exasperated every time I’m in here. My father wants me to take over the company, but he has no faith in me. He is always disappointed in me and I hate the feeling of always letting him down. Five weeks ago, on my thirty-second birthday, I promised myself I was going to change and show my father I was ready to lead the company, but I’m failing miserably. Nothing I do is ever good enough for my father or his
