Dangerous Love

Petra Ramirez

A couple of weeks pass by, the wedding is just a few days away. Xavier has been very distant and cold towards me since our encounter.

It's like he's pushing me away, it hurts. He's been avoiding me, one time he told me to not even come to work at all. Every time I attempt to confront him about it he avoids our conversations.

For some reason, my feelings have grown for Xavier more. I don't know why, it's just all weird right now.

I'm currently sitting at my desk, going through emails and replying. I hear a thud on my desk making me look at who is there, Xavier throws a big pile of files on my desk before walking away.

"Hey! What are these?" I asked a bit annoyed.

Xavier turns around and looks at me before walking over to the desk, "These need to be filled out, I need these done by seven."

I look down at my watch before looking up at him, I raise a brow, "That's in two hours, Xavier."

"Call me, Mr. Romano." He corrects me before turning around, "Those files better be done by seven, Ms. Ramirez."

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, he had made me fill out and do so much unnecessary work. Is he really that upset, that he needs to be petty about it?

What an asshole.

Just as I was about to start filling out this paperwork, I saw Samuel walking to Xavier's office. What was he doing here?

Xavier Romano

I sit back in my large black chair, with my arms crossed. At the head of the long table in a conference room while my father is going through the files of information we got on the Colombo family.

My father exhales sharply as he pinches his nose bridge, "How are we supposed to figure out where they are?"

"I don't know, apparently Tobias wife went missing a few months ago," I told him, leaning forward onto the table.

I picked up the folder and scanned it.

"Do we know who his wife is?" My Father questioned, scanning the file in his hand.

I shook my head, "Her name is Reina Colombo, that's all I know."

"Do you think he killed her?"

"Probably, I mean he hasn't done much searching for her. Especially since we are his main priority." I state before getting up from the table, "So she's most likely dead."

My Father nods his head as he stands up from his chair and stretches, "I'm ready to go home, and finish the rest of my movie."

"What movie is it?" I asked, grabbing all the files from the table.

"I think it's called Creed or something." He replies.

I nodded my head, as I finished gathering everything from the table and walked out of the office locking it behind me.

Once I got done filling out the files a surge of relief washes over me, I placed the files neatly on my desk before gathering my stuff to leave. Ready to call it a day.

Just as I was about to head towards the elevator, my heart skipped a beat. Right there by the elevator, stood Xavier.

I could feel my breath caught in my throat, my mind started flooding with anger and nerves. I could feel my palms grow sweaty and my cheeks flush with a mix of anxiety.
