Love Isn't The Way.

Chapter 12

.....Flashback......

4 Years ago

Yay. I almost sqeal in delight as I finally finish the shifting and placing everything in my new apartment. I am so proud of myself, I have the best penthouse you can ever imagine. I made my business a success, I am just 23 and already a millionaire now but it doesn't stop me, now I am going to take my business to the next level I still sometimes can't believe that I have finally achieved so much in so little time.My name is everywhere,news channels,magazines,talk shows,literally everywhere and I love every single second of it. If only my parents would have been here.......No, don't go there Zenda, it's no point. They call me Queen of the Kings because as all the top businessman right now took at least more than 8 or 9 years to reach where they are and I only took 5. I take out my champagne bottle and pour myself a victory drink. As I am admiring my bells rings and James comes with a sad face and gives me wrapped box with a bouquet of flowers. I know who sent it. The most evil person in the world.

Alec Anderson. I hate that guy with so much passion that it physically hurts sometimes.He's obsessed with me and especially after I made the biggest mistake of my life a year ago.I slept with him,how could I not, I thought it would be a one night thing and I was dealing with so much pressure at work that I couldn't help but give in to temptation. I never really liked relationships that's why I was never good at making good friends, I mean yeah i had friends alright but I never let anyone get too close. But, Alec, he wants me, every part of me and the ugly truth is that I actually want to give it all to him. He's like a drug for me, I want to leave him but I can't because every single time we are in the same room alone,it's like the energy suddenly twists and he becomes everything to me. I want an escape,from him but I can't. If I go to the police, he will ruin everything that I have worked for years and not even feel guilty for it. It's like I have stockholm syndrome.

'Thanks James,I appreciate it' James is my right hand since the past two years after I met Alec I felt so helpless so I decided to find myself a right hand who will do all my short tic-tacs and also protect me at any cost.He's just like me,he doesn't let people inside the walls that he has created and that's why he is perfect for this job. He keeps the box on the table,nods at me and leaves.

The box is wrapped with silver wrapping paper and the bouquet contains a combination of red and blue flowers. In any other situation,I would've jumped with joy and immediately opened the box to see what my angel has sent.Unfortunately, My angel is a dark one. I open the box with as less interest as possible and gasp the moment I see it. There is a a Grey tie, an envelope and note written in beautiful calligraphy that is Alec's handwriting.I open the envelope and find there are tickets inside to Las Vegas, he wants to go to Las Vegas now, why?and why did he send me a grey tie.I really don't get that man,Despite being one of the most clever girls in Seattle he was the one mystery I couldn't solve. He's like an outburst of emotions,one second he is calm and caring and says beautiful things to me and treats me like an angel and in the other second he becomes a monster who hurts me and treats me like shit, it's really hard to cope up with that son of a bitch.I pick his note up and read:

My Dearest Zenda,
I hope you are not reading this before actually opening your gift envelope.You're probably wondering why I gave you those well, then meet me at the airport today, I can't send you the car,my men are a little busy. I hope you don't mind and Zenda I hope you pack a few clothes as we might stay there for a day or two and I wouldn't like to waste shopping for you when we can do so much other things there. And Zenda do not disobey me.

Yours truly,
Alec.

That bastard, seriously he just expects me to leave everything and go to Las Vegas with him.I tried to completely avoid him these last few months and we didn't meet over the weekdays only on weekends when he forced me to go to a dinner with him and spend the night in his apartment and when the morning comes I felt so ashamed that I practically run out of there as soon as possible and Try as I may I just can't seem to resist him when he's so intimidating and hot. That guy was seriously carved by God and maybe in that process God forgot to give him the Humanity and passion people need to survive.It's not just about his looks or anything, it's the small light that is still present inside that dark soul. I know he doesn't ....he isn't capable of feeling anything but power and lust. But I am drawn to that light and sometimes the urge to pull the light out is just too much. I really could help him find what he lacks in his life if I didn't had my own demons threatening to pull me down any second.
