Hey besties, I'm sorry I haven't been updating much lately, life has been lifing but I'm back now and there's so much more in store for our lovely couple. Thank you for reading and voting.

Damn it! I can't focus, I've been looking at the same document for more than an hour but I couldn't even tell you what it entails.  Having him so close to me is messing with my head.  No no no this won't work. I get up from my desk chair and head for the back door of my office and head to my garage.

Alex is already waiting for me so I get in the backseat and he drives to my warehouse. It's very quiet and secluded , just how I like it. Opening the warehouse door for me he ushers me inside the big room in the back. I need to blow off some steam both sexual and mental frustration. What better way to do that than torture some rouge who decided that its would be a smart idea to mess with my business.

"Well hello!" I say in my most sinister voice to the young man who has his body stretched out before me, both hands tied to the ceiling. Already bruised and bloodied and I smile to myself . Just what I need to feel better. The look of fear that overtakes his face when he sees me gives me even more satisfaction, he should've known better before trying to mess with me.

He starts crying and begging " m...ma'am I'm so sorry please don't kill me please." That's right beg.I haven't even started yet.

"You should have thought about your life before stealing from me." I look at him with disdain and smile"oh and I'm not going to kill you, I'm going to pull your soul from your body and you will feel every second of it."

I continue to take a knife from the table that's full of torture tools. I roll the blade between my finger tips contemplating many ways to end his life.
" let me ask you one thing Derek you have a wife right?"

"Y...yes!" He wizzes through the pain but a look of confusion crosses his face. I make it a business to know about the personal lives of all my men and women, not only to have something over them but because this is a dangerous line of work and I would need to take care of their families if anything happened to them. So this question is confusing because he knows I know the answer.

"How did you meet your wife?"
"Does she know what you do?"
"How did she take it?"

Looking even more confused he coughs out blood, he's starting to get weak but I don't care. I walk over to him and stab the knife into his thigh, dragging it all the way to his knee and taking it out. "Can't have you dying without having a little fun now can we?" He lets out a screen of pain giving me the satisfaction I'm looking for.

I wait for him to come down from the high of the pain and continue "next question, how did you convince her to marry you?" He looks even more confused at my line of question, then again he stole a huge some of money from me and also sold organisation secrets and I'm asking about his love life instead.

"Answer me." I say through gritted teeth, his lack of answer annoying me. "I...uh.. I  she doesn't know what I do for a living she thinks I'm a driver for a rich CEO." He says. Typical.
I narrow my eyes at him at that and give it some thought. Maybe Angel didn't have to know what I do exactly.

Not liking the sound of that either I get back to torturing my victim but soon get bored so I give a bullet through the skull and leave the warehouse and back to the office. I still feel agitated like something is scratching and clawing the inside of my skin. I was never one to fall in love or obsess over anyone or anything but this boy has crawled into the back of my mind and made his home there, refusing to come out.

I use the back door to my office to avoid meeting him by chance . It's after hours so he's probably at home already, my office is made of glass windows so it's easy to spot him still seated at his desk. I look at my watch and realise that it's way past time to get off work, well at least for him. What is he still doing here?

I walk over and open the door to my office and his head whips from his computer to look in my direction. Hitching a breath I freeze a moment while he looks at me in expectation he's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen and those lips just calling out to me to claim them. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I finally find my voice and speak.

"What are you doing here?" Blank face on

"Uh... I work here?" He says so confused that i almost laugh at the look on his face but I school my face. That's why I call him kitten he makes this cute face that reminds me of a kitten.

"I mean what are you doing here at this time?"

"Ohh I was just...um waiting?"  He scrunches up his face to look like a kitten and I melt at the spot.

"I'll take you home, come on." I conclude and close my office door and walking out without giving him a chance to object.  I look back to see that he is not following me but still in the same spot and I stop.

" do you like the perfect view of my ass from there?" I raise a brow in amusement. He blushes in embarrassment but that has him collecting himself and getting a move on it. I wait for him to catch up and we walk in silence until we get to the front entrance of the building. I never use this exit unless I have to.

Alex is already waiting as I had texted him in the way here. He opens the door and I get into the back seat. I look back to see him standing there, debating what to do next and I give him a "are you going to stand there all night?" look  and he gets in the car besides me and the car starts moving.

I take my phone out of my pocket to check my messages and see that I missed a call from my cousin Karina and I make a mental note to get back to her. From the side view I see him squeezing himself by the door and looking out the window as if to get as far away from me as possible but I choose to remain quiet and focus on my phone, checking emails and texts messages.

I see a text that annoys me to the core, Carlos a guy I used to sleep with before I met Angel. I kicked him to the curb as he was starting to become clingy and emotional and that annoyed me.  " I'm waiting by your house, I can't wait to see you baby I missed you ." Said the text and I huff a loud breath making Angel look at me and back to the window. Why won't he look at me? Is it about the comment I made earlier? A smirk takes over my face when I think about having him check me out and the frustration of having to deal with Carlos melts away immediately.

We sit in comfortable silence throughout the ride.

End of this chapter, I have so many ideas for this book and I'm only just trying to bring them all together. I apologise for the update delay but I promise it will be worth the wait🥹🤭
