Beauty and The Beast

Thirty One

I stood on the street admiring the enchanted beauty across the street. My heart calmed in second as soon as i laid my eyes on her. God, she was so beautiful it hurt, wearing a white little sundress. Her hair fell down with a beautiful wave, a white rose was pinned on her left ear. She smiled her infamous breath-taking smile to the old lady who bought the flowers.

She worked at the florist. How could i let the woman i loved living like this and worked like that. I looked at her whilst she took the peonies and inhaled them before handed them to the old lady. I knew she loved white roses, but she loved the smell of peonies. I smiled, she seemed happy to work here.

It had been a month since she left. Costner worked on his ass so hard to find her. She was smart, she didn't choose the place that required a plane or train to get there. She knew i can find her easily if she did. So instead she chose this place, that only miles away from me. I was shocked when Costner told me she was in Staten Island. Here i was, lost counting on how many times I reassured my self that it wasn't a dream, she was obviously in front of me.

But she looked thinner. She must had lost some weight. Of course she had, i was the one who made her suffered all of this. I freaking banished her from my sight, from the city. It was all caused by that disgusting woman. My thoughts replayed the memory when I confronted her.

I rode the elevator with Costner and his two men. When i reached her office floor i immediately strode towards her office. I found her secretary shocked from my sudden visit.

"Is she here ?" I asked.

"Yes, Sir. But you can't just walk in to her office like that." She said panicking.

"The hell i can't." I said through clenched teeth.

The secretary tried to stop me but Costner held her. My other two men held the security men. I kicked her office door and found her jumped like she had seen a ghost. I sauntered her and tug her hair hard making her head fell back.

"I will make you pay for what you did to her, i warned you to leave her alone. Nothing can stop me from killing you now." I threw her so she landed on the couch.

"James, listen to me." She cried.

"Shut up, you fuckin cunt !" I shouted made her shrink.

I bowed to level her eyes and glared at her.

"You may think i'm smitten and tame now, but you clearly forget who i was, who i really am. I will crush your father's company until leaving you and your whole family penniless." I said.

"No, you wouldn't dare." She panicked.

"Try me. Why don't you call your father right now ? I already put my shares on the market this morning."

"But you only have 40% shares of our company."

"You don't think all the morons who sat in every shareholders meetings are the real holders right ?" I chuckled to see her paled face.

"Yes, they were all just a passive holders. I only use their names. All the shares was own by me. And i'll give your wicked little brain a clue, i'll sell all my 70% shares to the highest bidder. Yes, piece by piece, i will torn your company apart"

"Please don't do it." She down on her knee pleading.

I kicked her hands away from my foot. "Let's see how is your father's reaction to see his company torn apart caused by his spoiled brat who can't keep her infatuation in place."

I started to walk out the door but she held my feet.

"Please, i beg you. Don't do this to me." I released my feet from her grip.
