SAWYER I leaned back in the chair staring out into the club. But I barely heard a thing behind the glass. The noise was muffled. The beats were faint but it created this rhythm that was almost soothing. There were several bottles of wine on my table that I hadn't even touched. Tonight had been nothing but dull so far, and I wondered why I had even come. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone buzzed. One of my guards was calling. I groaned and picked the call before putting the phone to my ears. I hoped there hadn't been a break in or something of that sort. "What is it?" I asked. "Sir, there is someone at the door asking to see you. She said her name is Keia." He said with hesitation. I'd made it clear to him not to let anyone in unless they had a good reason and it was very important. "Keia?" I repeated, surprised that she had followed me up here. I hadn't expected her to. I nearly told the guard that I didn't know who that was, and that it didn't ring a bell. But he paused

KEIAI got up front the seat and pushed it back softly, worried about his behaviour. I could tell it was from the wine, and I hoped it wouldn't just get any worse. "I should go," I said, doing my best to keep my voice steady. My hand slipped free from his but then again he wrapped his palm against my cuff and tightened his grip before pulling me back to the seat. My heart jumped as I wondered what the hell he thought he was doing. This wasn't the person I'd always known. The look on his eyes was a slightly unfocused one as he spoke. "Wait, please don't leave yet." As much as he had begged me to say, the words did almost nothing to stop the rising trepidation that was curling its cold, icy hands around my spine now. Maybe coming here was a bad idea after all. I sighed before settling back down. It was clear from the foregoing that he was drunk and leaving would be difficult. There was something in his voice that made me pause, not to talk of the gaze in his eyes which held a discon

KEIAI found it almost impossible to sleep that night. I kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other, and kept staring at the cueing while hoping that in one way or the other, I was going to sleep soon. But sleep eluded me. I couldn't blame myself, especially all that had happened back there at the club. I couldn't stop thinking about his words which was the reason why my whole mind was a jumbled mess now. I still remembered the look on his face as he was getting in the car, how he had thanked me even and had shared his problems with me beforehand. Every single detail just seemed to be getting clearer and clearer. Artemis’s face flashed across my mind again, and for a few seconds it felt like I missed him. Perhaps, I said to myself, that was what we used to be. However, I pushed the thought out of my mind the moment I remembered the evil things he did to me. Five fucking years in prison was no joke. He betrayed me and had me spend five years in that hellhole of a place for a

KEIAI was beside myself with joy when I found out that Sawyer hadn't shown up to work for the day yet. I couldn't help the tiny sliver of relief that ran through me as I pressed ny my against the the and placed a palm on my chest as I took in a deep breath. There was nothing better than this, especially after the odds had been stacked against me all morning- first it was waking up late and then meeting the heavy traffic outside.I couldn't imagine how awful I would have felt if I came in here only to see that he was at work already. This meant a lot of things and one of them was that I had a little more time to prepare myself. Grabbing my bag, I quickly stuffed my papers inside it and made my way out of the office before hurrying downstairs. I didn't want to keep him waiting.I needed to make sure that he didn't have any suspicions that I'd been late today. Even though he had said nothing about it this whole time, I was doing my best to make sure he avoided saying that because it wou

SAWYERWhen I got to work that morning, I couldn't bring myself to face her. Thinking about it alone made my stomach churn, and this was not because I'd never been drunk before. I had been drunk before, on several occasions even but this time around it was different. It was Keia, her.She had seen me at my worst for the second time and the shame was just unbearable. I wondered what she thought of me, how she was going to see me now that she had seen that part of me. Would she think that her boss was a drunkard who couldn't even control himself? The thoughts kept coming and piling up. The image replayed in my head like a bad movie, over and over again.And I hated it. All of it. Because of that, I stayed home and told myself that I couldn't deal with work today, I could not just deal with her. But everything changed when that email came in. That was the proposal that I'd been waiting for this whole time. Work always found a way to pull me back, and even worse in a situation like this w

SAWYERI was already in a bad mood when I walked into the office that morning. Closing the door behind me, I rolled up my sleeves to check my watch. It was already 9:00 am and Keia wasn't here yet. Oh Lord, I ran a hand through my hair as another heavy sigh left me, all in an attempt to keep my anger in check. The last thing I wanted to do was to vent my spleen on anybody right now. I just wanted to make sure I got through with work and go back home without stirring up any drama, especially because of Keia.This was becoming a pattern, and there was no way I was going to ignore her anymore despite whatever reasons she might have. I needed to say something to her but I didn't want to give away my mysterious nature soon, even though what happened at the bar had done a bad deal of it already. Thirty minutes later, I couldn't control myself anymore. The anger was rising and it wasn't wasn't before I was pacing up and down the office floor like some kind of caged beast. Where the hell was

KEIAMy mind was racing with so much disbelief and anger when I stormed out of his office, trying to comprehend and assimilate what he had just told me. How the hell could he suggest something so ridiculous? I mean did he even get to hear himself before saying that to me? Live with him? Stay in his house because I was late a few times? It made no sense at all. It felt like a punishment, call it a personal invasion that I couldn't accept. Something had to be done about that. Clenching my my as I walked back to the desk, It was hard seeing the other employees who I passed by on the way back there. But I noticed how they all stared and how some of them whispered to themselves. Of course they were watching. They always watched to know what I was doing so they could judge me and make Sawyer second guess this decision of making me his secretary. It was just so annoying being in the presence of this kind of people but this was the only shot I had at making sure he got what he deserved for e

KEIAI wasn't happy about moving in with him, not in the slightest. And that was because of the circumstances that had brought about the situation. I wished the circumstances had been better and none of this had to happen like this. In fact, I hated it. The thought alone mare mare chest tighten every now and then and I'd find myself hoping for things that would never happen, things like turning back the hands of time and doing something about the subtle fuck ups that had compounded to this terrible moment. I remembered what my friend said when I came home yesterday from work and told her everything. I needed to trust myself, and I was happy that she at least saw and said I was moving in the right direction. There was no bigger motivation than that, bit anyways, this was just jeering. The change was just so sudden and so big I'd find it hard keeping up. I didn't have any other choice however. And there wasn't a doubt that my pride, now, was bruised and it hurt even more to know that I

SAWYER I had no idea why I was acting all bossy all of a sudden. I found it very hard to admit it, even to myself but I had been very much aware of it all day and it worried me. I was only worried about it because it was unlike me. However, it had only begun when I heard Keia talking with her friend. Their discussion wasn't just about anything. It was about her saying that she was going to use me as bait for Artemis. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear from someone like her and it made me question everything I knew about her. It made me question if she was the same person that I had always known, if everything she had been doing so far was just a way of getting closer to me and getting what she wanted. Heard that had stung in a way I didn't expect. And despite the fact that I didn't like my brother and everything he had done to her and to me, I still didn't fancy what she was trying to do. Nobody would fancy being used. The idea of being used by her was just so hurtful.

KEIAI did not have the slightest idea why he was acting this way and for some reason I was made to think that he was possessed overnight. I tried to think of anything that would have made him act this way but nothing came to my mind, but none of it was my fault because she was just acting so strange and it was nothing I had ever experienced before. One moment he was screaming at me and picking apart my work like it was garbage and the next second, he was asking me out for lunch and smiling at me smugly. God... he had no idea how that smile irritated me so much even though I tried my best to hide it behind my expression. I always did my best to make sure he did not truly see what I felt but I could swear that did not know meant I nearly allowed my emotions to take over me. Most certainly I would have done something I surely would have regretted it but thankfully, I didn't do anything. I had no idea why he kept acting like some kind of knight in shining armor. It was so confusing and
