Romana's POV

I woke up to the silence of the house, no walking around or Isabella waking me up for breakfast, just silence. I got up from bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up, I had so much to do today.

I needed to meet up with Adrianna for an update, just an entry journal to give to the boss, a type of recommendation for consideration until I'm finished with the real thing, I was no where near, there was so much to unfold and I was gonna milk every information I could get.

That's another reason I'm meeting up with Adrianna, I wanted to see if she had any information on this Veronica person because I was afraid to ask Mr. Des'aire.

His name brought a blush to my cheeks as the events of last night unfolded in my mind, he was indeed a frustrating man but I couldn't get my mind off him. His touch was like no other, his lips felt soft but his kiss was rough and demanding, he owned me for that small period of time, I had my share of sex partners from college and their five minutes was nothing like his last night.

I actually dreamt of him in some of the most naughty ways torturing my self into sleep deprivation.

I pulled out a suit from the little clothes I had and put them on, a black pants and white dress blouse with my old leather bag.

I pinned my hair up and applied some lipgloss, I came out of the room and started to close the door behind me when I saw a note pinned on it.

I pulled it off and read the writing.

I'm sorry Ms. feretti Mr. Des'aire insisted I take my day off a day early but no worries you'll be seeing me on Monday, good luck! P.s Mr. Des'aire knows how to cook so don't worry about him and everything is in the cupboards and easy to find..oh and he went to work already, bye!

I smiled at Isabella's cute note but I couldn't help but wonder why Eros wanted her to leave early.

I didn't think much of it, shrugging as I made my way downstairs grateful that I didn't need to see Mr. Eros until later this evening. Or ever.

I had called a cab and was now on my way to Scottsdale. It took a good hour to reach and I was already tired, I payed the nice taxi driver and gathered my things leaving the vehicle.

I walked up the steps and went through the big familiar doors and over to the same receptionist. She wasn't on her phone this time but was chewing a gum, very loudly.

Her eyes didn't give away anything so I reintroduced myself.

"Aum, Romana I'm here to see Ms. Adrianna" she rolled her eyes clearly remembering who I was before picking up the phone and calling her.

"She said to come up" I nodded not bothering to thank her and walked up to the elevator, I pressed the button for the top floor and the door closed.

I came out to the familiar corridor and went to room ten. I knocked and her smooth voice sounded from behind telling me to come in.

"Hey! Romana, it's good to see you" She greeted , I smiled closing the door behind me but was surprised to see a man sitting by the corner, the familiarities of his features made me falter a bit.

"It's.. good to see you too. I didn't realize you had company, should I come back?" I asked awkwardly, I got a good glimpse of the man, he was very handsome but had a dark almost evil like aura around him. His eyes were dark and piercing and left an uneasy feeling withing my stomach.
