FIGHTING FOR WILLA

Chapter 1

Alex

Five years later

I hate these fucking things. Another office party to welcome our newest employee to the company. I would have skipped but I own the company, and it's considered bad taste to skip only so that you can fuck some random woman.

I make my way through the crowd searching for the new guy , Mark something is his name. I only have to the welcome to the company speech and then I'm finding some hot blonde to fuck tonight.

I stop in my tracks when I see a face I never thought I'd see again.
I consider pinching myself to make certain she's really here I've dreamt her up quite a few times over the last five years.

I pinch myself hard and wince at the slight sting.When I look again I still see her standing there like a mirage to a thirsty man in the desert. She is still beautiful even more so. Her bright red hair falls in soft waves against her back.It is longer than I remember but still sexy as hell.

Her emerald green eyes are shining as she looks around the party. She is wearing a white dress that falls just above her knees.Fuck I loved her in white she always looked angelic.

I move closer to the only woman I have ever loved the woman whose heart I broke she probably hates my guts, but I don't care. I just need a few seconds just a taste of her.

I close the distance between us as fast as I can, afraid she might disappear at any moment .

Willa

I scan the crowd for any sign of my fiance he left awhile ago to search for his new boss hoping to get an introduction.Meanwhile I've been standing here like a loner.

"Willa." my head snaps in the direction of the voice.The voice I never thought I'd hear again it sends shivers through me .His voice huskier, deeper than I remember.

My breath falters at the sight of him. Tall and sinfully sexy in his black Armani suit. My eyes find his light blue eyes, the eyes I stared into five years ago. Memories bubble to the surface but I push them back refusing to remember .

His hair is also darker but no longer disheveled like I remember but perfectly styled.

"Hi"I manage to get out in a clear unaffected tone.

He's silent for a minute before replying "Why are you here? "he asks his voice low.

Before I have a chance to answer Mark, my fiance appears. He gives me a light squeeze before turning his attention to Alex.

"Mr.Stone ,an honor to finally meet you. I am so excited to work for your company. I see you've already met my fiance Willa Foster. " He moves to shake Alex's hand.

Mr Stone? No... no .Alex can't be Mark's new boss, fate cannot be that cruel. Confusion colours my face but I manage to look composed.

Alex's eyes had slightly enlarged at the word fiance.

"Yeah we just met I was looking a bit lost and he offered to help me find you. "I lie smoothly and watch as Alex raises an eyebrow.
Please don't out me just let it go I pray.

He plays along not revealing the truth"You have a lovely fiance Mark" he said in a fake tone with emphasis on the word fiance.

He stares at me another second before turning towards Mark to welcome him to the company.

"I don't feel well darling. "I murmur , desperate to escape this awkward situation.

He seems a bit annoyed but then touches my back sympathetically "We'll go home in a few minutes ,why don't you go get your coat. "He said before turning back to Alex.

I say a quick goodbye to Alex avoiding his unnerving gaze then head to the bathroom, the sounds of the party fading behind me.

I take a moment to recollect myself before heading back out. If Alex is Mark's boss that means I will be seeing a lot more of him.I don't think I can handle that.

As I exit the bathroom I'm suddenly pushed back against the wall.I look up to see none other than Alex looming over me.

"Lying to you're boyfriend are we, I take it he doesn't know about our history?"A smirk plastered on his stupid gorgeous face.

"Fiance"I hiss "It isn't any of your fucking business and I didn't lie you don't exist to me now get the Fuck out of my way before I cause a scene. "I whisper in a harsh voice.

I think I see hurt in his gaze but whatever it was is gone in a second.

He steps out of my way but grabs my arm as I leave pulling me back to him. "This isn't over. "he whispers in my ear in an ominous tone
