FALLEN

Chapter Eleven

John Kensington's P.O.V

My body stiffens with anger as I hear this. "And you're absolutely sure that he saw her and she saw him?" I ask Mikey and he nods yes in confirmation. Damn it! They weren't supposed to see each other so soon, this little incident has definitely put a dent on my plans. "I need you to do everything in your power to keep them apart, am I clear ?"

"Yes sir."

"You may leave." I take a seat, of course he has already found her, I was expecting it to be at the top of his list but damn it not so soon, I guess I have no choice but to force his hand sooner rather than later. I pick up my phone.

Cy: What?

John: Meeting now.

Time to bring in the big guns.

Cy's P.O.V

"Who was that on the phone?" Jenna asks.

"No one important, eat your food." She offers me a small smile as her cheeks turn crimson.

"You're so bossy Cy Cy." She's always been able to read me well, aside from Ben, Jenna is the only real friend I have and that still comes as a shock to people, especially because she's a girl. We met in London, I was trying to close an important deal and the only thing that stood out other than the fact that she was way smarter than the people she worked for, was how unfazed by my dominant aura she was. She could handle me just fine and that was enough reason for me to make her an offer she couldn't refuse, since then we've been inseparable, wherever I go she comes with.

"I-"

"Let me guess, you have to go." She cuts me off and I smirk.

"Yes, rain check?" I say, calling over the waiter and paying the bill. She nods yes as I leave.

"Say hello to your father for me, oh and Cy..." I turn meeting her devious smirk.

"Yes?"

"Bring him down to his knees." She softly says as she pushes up her glasses. Anyone who would have heard that would have probably laughed it off and taken it as her way of trying to look tough but it was enough to make my body stiffen because, nobody knows how serious she is like I am. Arriving at my parents house, I greet my mother first then head straight to my father's office.

"Ahh! There he is." What the fuck is this?

"Mr Rodríguez, to what do I owe the pleasure?" I ask shaking his hand and taking a seat, he does the same.

"Andrew here stopped by for a visit, he was just on his way out." They give each other a look and I can already tell that my father is lying.

"I was just telling your father here how brilliant your business strategy is playing out, I mean just this year you've already made 60% profit and the year isn't even over. Makes me kind of envious." He turns to me, I don't know why but I can't help but furrow my eyebrows at his tone.

"Well he is a brilliant business man, born and raised." My father says proudly, making me grind my teeth.

"Not like you gave me much of a choice." I spit out, staring straight at him.

"And look how great that turned out." Most people would believe my father to be oblivious at this point but not me, because I know that he knows what I had to sacrifice when he basically banished me to London and he knows damn well what he ripped away from me. That's why just being in the same room as him let alone country, makes me sick with rage. He disgusts me and his presence is disgustingly suffocating to me.

"I'm sensing that you and your old man here don't get along all that well." Mr Rodríguez says releasing a mocking laughter, "If that's the case then maybe I can take you from under his nose so you can come work for my multi million dollar company, hmm?" He raises one eyebrow. Is this the meeting he was talking about? Me working with the Rodríguez family? No, he'd never make such an upfront move unless-

"Andrew." My father says warningly and he turns to him, smirking.

"Why would I step foot into that company? I don't have any desire to be reporting to your daughter." The smile quickly disappears from his smug face.

"What does she have to do with this? She's just a mere manager." And here I thought I couldn't hate this guy more than I already do.

"Mere manager? I'd advise you not to spit on your daughter's reputation so carelessly, because everyone in the business industry knows damn well that she solely dug up what was left of that disgrace you called a business, and turned it into the multi million dollar name it is now, three years ago. Let's also not forget how she holds more respect, from everyone, in her pinky than you ever will in your lifetime." Only when I see rage in his eyes is my mood lifted.

"Why you piece of-" He swings his right hook and I'm quick to move out of the way, missing he falls to the floor, landing on his knees. He looks up at me and I smirk, unbuttoning my blazer.

"You see where you are now, that is exactly where you belong, beneath me and I'm going to make sure you stay there." I turn to my father and I can tell he's a little shocked, although he can hide it well. "Stop wasting my fucken time, I have things to do!" I bark, leaving. Getting into my car I make a call and head out. If I can wrap this up then I can make it back to her office before she leaves.

"I hate being irritated." I say and his body freezes, when he slowly turns in his seat and sees it's me, his eyes widen with shock.

"How did you-"

"Don't fucken waste my time!" I say sitting down, "I have your whole life in my hands." I state and I can tell that he believes me.

"Mr Kensington." I raise my eyebrow, challenging him and he goes silent. Wise choice, I put my card on the table and he looks at me expectantly.

"You work for me now, understand?" He nods. "Good." He gets up and leaves, taking the card.

"Mikey .." He stops at the door, "I will end you in an instant if you fuck with me." He doesn't say anything but just leaves, although I'm sure that he got the message loud and clear. After getting my iced coffee order I head to my final destination. Making the necessary arrangements I make sure there's no one there before I get there. After leaving the drink with a note on her desk, I sit on her chair, turning around and wait for her to finish up working, making sure to watch her through the mirror in her office. Finally, after what seems like forever I hear her heels click on the marble floor as she makes her way to her office. Opening the door I'm immediately entranced by her sweet scent, you haven't changed one bit have you.

"Why's my chair-" She trails off when she sees the iced coffee on her desk, I watch through the mirror as she picks it up, reading the note.

"Don't scream..."

Our eyes immediately lock and I start getting up, making sure to not break one contact, when I turn I can't help but notice her crimson cheeks, her eyes gloss over the more she keeps looking at me. Wow she's radiant! "Hello Aurora." Her lips move but no words are coming out, I notice her slowly start to back away, oh no not this time you don't. Quickly making my way to her I softly grab a hold of her waist and pull her to me. She gasps against my chest and I swear it's the sweetest sound I've ever heard.

"Cy." She whispers.
