In Love With The Enemy: A Love and Hate Story Book #1

Chapter 2: The Stranger (Part 1)

ALINA'S POV:

  "NO!!" I screamed

"Please don't hurt him, I will do anything just don't kill him! Please!!"

"You can't do anything sweetheart, but you can die with him!" That bastard Xavier screamed back

"I love you" My dad said.

"NO!!!!" I sobbed as I saw him slitting his throat.

I woke up from my horrible nightmare panting loud and hard. I get these nightmares almost every night, most of the reason why I have never gotten a peaceful night without nightmares since before my father died.

I wasn't there to save him, but even if I was, I wouldn't have been able to do a thing about it to save his life. I would have died too. I thought. As I begin crying, my alarm goes off at 6 AM, stating that it is time for me to get ready for work today.

I get up with big teary eyes and go to take a long hot shower while thinking about how things would be if everything that happened was different. But in the end, thinking about what things could have been is a waste of time because it won't happen.

After I snapped back into reality, I noticed the hot water started to turn cold, so I finally got out of the shower, brushed my unruly mid back length honey hair into a high ponytail and picked out my clothing for the day.

I didn't feel like wearing any dresses so I just threw on a white lace blouse, black pencil skirt, and a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. After getting dressed, I made me some coffee and a breakfast croissant, fed Abbi, got my purse, and headed out the door towards my car.

I went straight to work, said my greetings and dropped off the paperwork to my boss before going to my office and working on the rest of the files he gave me.

"Alina, Please call Mr. Welsh and tell him about the contract me and my crew set up, set up a meeting with him" My boss asked me

"Sure thing boss" I replied

I called Mr. Welsh and told him about the contract that was set up by my boss for him to sign and discussed what he will have to do. We went through the schedule and set up a date for him to meet up with Mr. Black, and then we said our goodbyes.

The time went by so fast, It was already lunchtime and surprisingly, I was hungry. Usually I'm not hungry, but today, it seems that's not the case.

"Hey Alina, you wanna go to lunch with me and Peter?" Kimberly asked

Kimberly Cole and Peter Smith are my work friends. I met them the second day I first started working for Mr. Black. They were really nice to me, and they had this energy that made me want to go and do stuff more. Kimberly is only 2 years older than me, and Peter is 1.

"Yea sure, I'll be down in 5" I replied back

"Okay see ya" She smiled and walked away

I hurried and gathered all my belongings, before meeting them down in the lobby

"Okay, where are we going??" I asked them

"Scarpetta" Peter responded

I have never been to Scarpetta but i've heard a lot about it, and learned it is very expensive.

"Isn't that expensive just for lunch? Not that I mind or anything, but why Scarpetta?"

"Yes, but don't worry, It's on me" Kim said

"You know I hate when people pay for me, especially when it is not cheap!"

"Okay now Alina, you're just being so unreasonable. You will live, plus, for me it's nothing."
