All Chapters of The Tale Of Roman's Obsession : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lily comes back out a moment later with the same files in her hand. She looks at me and then at the door like she would rather be in any other place than in my presence. “Roman said I should give this to you.” Lily says looking away as she places the files before me. I merely nod my head, effectively dismissing her. I had no reason to make small talk or ask irrelevant questions. I keep typing away on my computer if only to avoid having to be put under the stress of forcing a conversation with this new lady. When she leaves, I breathe in a huge sigh of relief and look at the time, counting down the minutes to lunch break. I'm tempted to take out my phone and type away but I remember clearly that it is one of the rules in this company's handbook that the use of a phone during work hours is prohibited. I'm shaken out of my reverie when the fancy telephone on my desk table rings. “Hello, this is Montgomery Enterprises, how may I help you?” Romans's deep voice comes through the phone

“If you stare at him one more time, I will be forced to carve his pretty head out of his body.” Roman says with a growl that almost makes me believe his statement. “I wasn't staring at him!” I say angrily to Roman. “Try again, princess. This time with the truth.” Roman says, glaring at Noah across the table. Apparently, Noah was related to the host so he was seated at our table. “How could I concentrate on any other person when you are around?” I ask through gritted teeth, realising my mistake only after I had said the words. Roman's face transforms into a triumphant smirk at my words. I look away from him and try as much as possible to concentrate on the host who was currently giving a speech on her calling as a philanthropist. Pfftt. As expected. When Vanessa is done with her speech, she comes to our table and sits down on the other side of Roman. Roman gives her a flat stare before turning his attention back to me. “Is the wine to your liking?” He asks in a soft tone. I nod

I wake up the same way. Wrapped tightly around Roman. I slowly unwrap his hands from my middle, leaning away in order to disentangle myself from him. I wanted or rather needed to escape from his room before he woke up. I don't think I can face him this morning. “Where do you think you are going?” Roman's growly voice says before he pulls me into him. I inhale sharply, startled by the warmth engulfing me. “I have to get ready for work. I work for you, remember?” I say to him, deciding to ignore his morning wood, which was currently poking my thigh. “Now I regret that decision.” Roman says in an exaggeratedly sad tone, which still does not stop my heart from beating a mile an hour. Roman pulls me tighter into him if that is even possible considering how close I already am to him and places a kiss on my neck and cheek. “Can I go now?” I ask in a squeaky tone. “It's cute that you seek my permission, princess. Yes, you may leave.” Roman says with a smirk. I bristle at his tone, f

I kick my chair back angrily, standing up so suddenly I feel my gaze go hazy for some minutes. “Calm down, son. Let's sit and talk for some minutes.” My Father says in a patronising tone. “You already made me employ her. I would have nothing to do with her unless it is work-related.” I say with a clenched jaw. “Is this how you welcome me, Mr Montgomery?” The man who appears to be Lily's father asks with a scoff. I feel an eerie calmness wash all over me as I stalk towards him. I see the uncertainty and fear in his eyes as he takes a step backwards. “I'm sorry— we will just———” Lily starts to say, stepping in between me and her father. I push her away harshly, not caring that she might bump into the strong wooden table. I take the two long steps that bring me closer to him, and with a hand on his neck, I slam him into the wall, lifting him up. “What the fuck did you just say?” I ask in a deceptively calm tone. In his defence he didn't really say anything insulting to me but fu

“But… But I didn't do anything wrong.” I say with my heart in my throat. “Don't give me that, princess. You know exactly what you did. Do you want me to list them out for you.” Roman says with a deceptively calm look on his face. I shake my head and gulp loudly. Subconsciously, I knew there would be repercussions for what I did, I just refused to accept it. There was no use stalling now. I move the duvet away from my body and step down gingerly from the bed. When the cold air hits my bare thighs, I regret taking off my hose, skirt, and shirt, exchanging them for a mid thigh simple nightwear. I stop about two feet away from him, with my eyes trained hardly on the ground. I hear Roman sigh heavily, the only sign of his exasperation. “Come closer, princess.” I take one more step towards him, not being physically capable of taking the last step. I let out a startled cry when Roman pulls me closer with a hand on my waist. I'm breathing heavily by the time he lets me stand on my own
