(Evan's P.O.V)
That girl, I must say she is something else. Even though it is refreshing to have a change of people around, I cannot seem to see through her actions and words. Intriguing lady. Alexandria Van Perez. The first woman to even see through Evan Viltchvoght. It will be fun to tear off that calm mask off her face. All I want to see is the real Alexandria. So what if she is not submissive,I always love a good chase.

(Alexandria's P.O.V)
Evan left my office with a wide grin on his face. He is so predictable that it's not fun. Well still with a faceless Sebastian Theodore. Work has been a routine since the past few weeks. Actually it's unbelievable how time goes by fast. It was as if we landed in New York yesterday. I decided to take the day off, well perks of being the owner , and visit New York.

(Third P.O.V)
Alexandria was excited to visit the new yet familiar place. First she drove to Central Park. The view there was breathtaking. She stood,glued to her spot,taking  in the view in front of her. She laid down on the grass and looked at the sky. Good thing she changed into casual clothes or else her work clothes would've restrained her from such activities. A light breeze brushed her hair,she then looked around,finding families smiling and having fun. At first,she would envy them but now she feels happy just by looking at them. Next she drove to the metropolitan museum of art. Lexie was never the creative type but she did appreciate art and had a keen eye when it came to art. After hours of sightseeing and souvenir shopping,she decided to make her last stop before home at something they called the Top of the rock observation deck. It was getting dark. The sub was setting behind her,making its light reflect on the other side. Everything looked so small. Lights shimmered in the growing darkness. She sat on a rock ,bewitched by the magnificent view. Granted that because of all these lights,the stars couldn't be seen but it was still beautiful. After thirty minutes or so, Lexie decided that it was getting late and that she had to hurry home. On her way back to her car , she bumped into someone.

"Sorry!" She quickly apologised.

The man unfazed by her apology,mumbled something under his breath and continued walking. Lexie grumbled of how rude that man was, without looking where she was walking. She tripped on a rock and was about to kiss the ground. Hard. Just then two muscular arms enveloped her. They both fell with a loud thump. Her saviour grunted in pain while his hoodie fell off his head. His gray,snake like eyes glimmered in the darkness. Dirty blond hair stuck to his face and his chest heaved as he regained his steady breathing. It was the rude man from before.

"Than-"

"Are you hurt?" His deep,hoarse voice resounded in the silent night.

"No. I'm not. Are you hurt ?" She looked around his frame frantically,inspecting for any injuries.

He shook his head,as if to say that he was not hurt. Just then his eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Alexandria!" He breathed.

"How do you know my name?"

"You're a Van Perez, who doesn't know you?" His voice was deep, it made Alexandria shiver. In a good way. She always had a thing for men with deep voices. For someone who never dated anyone, she had weird fetishes.

"Ah,yeah, what's your name?" She asked,cocking her head to the side curiously.

He hesitated but said;
"Sebastian."

Lexie's eyes went wide. He couldn't be..... He couldn't possibly be Theodore. Now that she thinks about it,he does look like Grey Theodore,the previous owner of Theodore Chains. Specially his eyes. Definitely the eyes.

"Sebastian Theodore?"

"Yes." His answer was clipped.

"Well the world sure is small, Sebastian." Lexie smiled,genuinely. For some reasons she felt at ease with him.

"Indeed it is." He said with a slight curve of his mouth.
