Breaking The Forbidden Shield (COMPLETED)

Chapter Seven

"Yes Mr Switz I believe it could be done, I'll have my personal assistant filed the contract formalizing the deal, welcome to The Montego's Publications,  do enjoy what's left of the evening", it was after seven,Alejandro was on his last call before he head home, he'd  scored another deal with another major client that's worth fifty million dollars.

This was all he knew, he'd learn about the business through his home schooling.

Alejandro gazed outside as he was sitting in the back seat of his black Mercedes benz, his mind wonder on his caretaker. It wasn't easy putting his day dream at the back of his mind but he knew he had to.

Then his mind began to think about the way her robe slipped open in front of his very eyes as if it meant for him to see.

Why was she constantly in his thoughts he wondered she was no different to those other judging people on the outside. He'd had to suffer too much to be taking advantage of.

But she was actually the first person to ever get that close to him, his caretaker before jad never had the pleasure of meeting him.

Even as she saw a piece of his revealed skin, he saw the shock in her eyes but never did he see the judgment,  she just shook it off as nothing.

He looked through the tint of the Window that revealed his reflection,  if she saw what he's seeing right now, maybe then he'd see the judgement, he thought.

The car finally slowed down, his destination at last. He quickly got out of the vehicle taking his routine path into his mansion.

He decided to head straight to dinner.
.............................................

Grace had just finish preparing his dinner, she was now setting the table in the mild dark, she was grateful for thehe moonlight that was shone through the window, she took a break when she saw the extravagant view of the stars,  heromd drifted towards her family, she'd promised to call but still haven't,  she missed them so much especially her little sister.

Caught up in her thoughts she wasn't aware she wasn't alone.
...................................

When Alejandro entered the room, he was taken by surprise when he saw the familiar figure,  he watched her as she was lost in her own world.

"It may seem faith doesn't like me very well", he leaned on the counter top that was behind him

Grace was startled but composed herself and got back to what she was doing, she rather not get into it with him tonight after what she learned earlier, she'd let him have his way. She'd promised herself his insults would not deter her.

He watch as her mouth was still, even under his glare, she act like he wasn't there, she fixed the table setting then sorted his meal.

When Grace was finish and began leaving, with his presence around she had forgotten her foot was injured, she made a hatsh step on it causing the pain to hit her even harder than she stepped. She was about to fall to the ground when she felt two firm strong hands around her.

In that position, in his arms with the moonlight she stared into his eyes, she lifted her right hand to place it against his face but he grabbed her hand before she could touch him.

Alejandro help her up.
"I told you to get that seen to", there it was again the harsh rough tone.

Grace stayed quiet she'd already stepoed out if line once, she wouldn't let a second time give her reason.

Alejandro was annoyed she wasn't even saying anything,  she just took his words with no fight.

"What the hell is wrong with you,  the first time we met you opened your mouth to tell me off, now you're being quiet", her back was to him as she stood by the exit door.

"I-im sorry", she indeed thought her actions were foolish, her mother had always told her, never lower one's standards to win an unworthy cause.
She thought her mother would be disappointed in her.

He was beginning to learn of the kind of person she really was, under the beauty was actually a beauty.

"Just get out", he told her before he made his way over to where she was standing

"I have bin nothing but nice to you and all you do was insult me and my integrity, I refuse to think that you are incapable of something good because I know", she took one step closer.
"I know that somewhere deep down, there's good in you", this had Alejandro's full attention. He was now facing towards her.

"Good", he made his way to the center of the room, standing next to the dining table he took up the match box.

With one stroke the match lit, he rest the flame on the candle on the table. She watches watched as the candle brightened the room.

"Now you tell me, what's so good about all this?", for the first time in years, Alejandro was revealing himself to someone.
