A Lover To Him

Chapter Fifteen, Caine Williams

Caine Williams

"I'll be back in the States in a week from now. I still have some unfinished business left in Britain that needs my attention. Do you think you can handle the work back at the office or do I need to send someone else?" I ask my new secretary, David Jacobs. After firing Luca not too long ago, I had to hire a new secretary to take over Luca's work, and he has been doing a good job all week.

He's young and very excited to be working with me. He wants to gain some work experience at my company, and after thinking about it for a while, I decided to hire him. I was getting tired of Luca, who most of the time spent her time calling her girlfriends during working hours, and she was constantly flirting with me. Besides, she should have known to give my number to Mia when she asked. She might not be my girlfriend or my wife yet, she still will be treated like she's with me at my company.

"No, sir. It's no problem to continue to the work back here in the states. I'll continue to keep you updated through the mail, sir." David tells me as I put the pile of papers away and lean back in my chair.

"Perfect, David. If there's anything you need you can mail me, and if there's an emergency, give me a call, alright." I tell him before hanging up the phone. I sigh deeply and rub my hand over my face. I need to get a break from work immediately. I have been working all day to catch up on work, and I'm dying to get a drink.

I put my papers away in my bag, grab my coat and head out. I leave the building where my temporary office is and head in the direction of my hotel, figuring that I should put on some fresh clothes before I go out for a drink.

My hotel is only a fifteen-minute away from the office, and normally, I'd take a cab to get back to my hotel, but tonight I feel like walking back. Gives me some time to gather my thoughts and figure out what I'm going to do.

I know I owe Mia one hell of an explanation, but I don't know where to start with explaining. There's so much I need to tell her that I have no clue where to start anymore. I need to gather my thoughts before I can tell her because I want her to give a full explanation and not a lame one.

Mia has consumed my thoughts ever since I first met her, and I've tried to keep her out of my mind before, but ever since we kissed for the very first time at my party six years ago, I knew trying to keep her out of my mind would be a lost cause.

Hell, trying to hate her was a fucking lost cause because deep down inside I knew I was already falling for her. Turns out there's a reason why they call it falling in love because once you do, that's exactly what it feels like, and you can only hope that there's someone down there to catch you.

I don't know how she made her way through all the walls around my heart, but she fucking did it. She might not realize nor know it, but she fucking owns my heart and my soul. She's the only one for me, and I intend to let her know how far I would go to keep her forever.

Though I can't stand the distance between us, and I know that the reason for it is partly my fault. She thinks I will break her heart again and that there's no hope for us anymore, but that's not the truth. If we believe in it, then there's hope for us.

Once I arrive at my hotel room, I quickly change my dark blue suit for a pair of black trousers, a white shirt, and a black leather jacket. I put on some cologne and run my hands through my hair,  leaving it messy and undone. Mia once told me how attractive it makes me look.

There I go thinking about her again. 

I know that I've fallen too far for her, and there's no way back anymore. She's the love of my fucking life, and there will never be someone else who will own my heart. I've tried everything to get her out of my head, to pretend I do not love her, to truthfully tell anyone that she doesn't mean anything to me, but nothing seems to be working. She has me obsessed with her every damn minute of the day.
