Hey readers this is the entire prologue of my story which I wanted to write in the description but the app restricts us by the number of words so had to cut it short. But since I always wanted to give my readers a through glimpse of my story so here is it.

Happy reading!

Hope Smith is a chubby happy to go lucky girl with a perfect family. She is graduating from NYU. It is a dream come true for her. She loves her family to bits and could go to any extent to protect them.

Aditya Reynolds is a shrewd businessman. He doesn't posses any feelings. He is a broken mess. According to him love is an illusion. It just makes you weak. He is every women's desire but none could catch his interest bcoz according to him they were either gold diggers or would leave him during his hardships. He cared for none and knew to play with every woman's feeling.

Well now let me introduce you to Jake Matt Reynolds his brother hmm actually his best friend is the only person who could make him smile but not the way he used to when they were kids. He misses the fun loving Aditya.

Let's get a glimpse of the story:

I knocked on his door and waited for a reply but got none so I once again knocked and heard a loud "Come in" from my boss. This was the first time I have ever been to his office and boy it gave vibes of masculinity. My nostrils were attacked by his cologne which was also the aroma of his office.

The desk was made of glass and wood, couches were black. The walls were white stainless. What caught my attention was a cabinet full of trophies and I was in awe of my boss. His head was deep in the files and I was shamelessly ogling his office. It was meticulously designed the 42 inch TV the book shelf the white board oh God it was beyond my imagination and it was spacious like hell. I wondered the conference rooms are such a waste when he can easily conduct the presentation in his cabin but they were rumors that nobody is allowed in his office other than Matt and his secretary cum PA but the defiant me.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear him clearing his throat and the next minute he snapped the pencil and it broke into two pieces which brought me out of reverie. I was startled by his action and I couldn't utter a word.

In less than a minute I composed myself and held my head high and looked straight into his ferocious eyes and said it out clearly and politely:
"Mr Reynolds I want your permission for a two days leave the upcoming Thursday and Friday. I need to visit my family."

His instant reply was a "NO" which was more like howl. When I was about to retaliate he got up from his black leather chair and marched at me like I was his prey and shadowed me until my breath got hitched.

He whispered into my ears that "Miss Hope nobody means nobody dares to retaliate against me in my company and this is the first and the last warning that never show yourself in my office unless it is a matter of life and death without an appointment."

I was livid and just pushed him backwards but the man didn't budge a little instead I moved backwards and made him clear that "I need to pay visit to my family in Canada and I would go whether you approve it or not."

I expected an outburst but got none instead he smirked but went back to his seat. He said "the contract for interns which you have signed doesn't allow you to have an off for the first 3 months unless it is a medical emergency and if you intend to breach it you will be liable to pay a whopping amount of 50 thousand dollars so I guess you have got your answer so Get Out"

My eyes bulged out of its socket and I felt guilty of what I said next but he brought this side of me,
" You bastard how could you be so cruel why can't you understand dammit that I need to be home for my mother. She needs me on Thursday by her side and I don't care for the bloody contract I will visit my mom and I have informed you."

I was about to leave his office when he held my wrist and barked at me "try to defy me and I would be your worst nightmare".

I said " how unfortunate your mother could be to tolerate to such vile man daily" before I could complete my sentence his hand held my throat tightly and he glowered at me and I was fighting for my life finding it difficult to breathe oxygen and that instant Matt came into his office and was appalled at the scene in front of him and immediately he freed me from Mr Reynolds firm hold and I was panting like hell and he helped me to calm down and handed me a glass a water.

I was thankful to God to send my knight in shining armour otherwise I would have been dead by now. I composed my breathing and thanked Matt for his help and charged towards the him and slapped him hard across his face and told him that "you beast I would sue you for murder and I would ensure that you rot in hell".

I saw a remorse look but nothing could change my decision and Matt escorted me to the conference room and tried to convince me that he is very sorry on his behalf.

He asked me what transpired between us before he came and was shocked and shook his head with a sad face and told me that his mother and family is sore topic for Mr Reynolds and I shouldn't have crossed my boundaries. I knew that I had stepped over but it didn't give him the liberty to attack me.
He told me to retire for the day work form home for the week and my two day leaves have been approved. Just when we were about to walk out when Lisa his PA barged in and said that Mr Reynolds has turned his office upside down and Matt ran across the corridor and there we could hear a loud thud and all the employees were working like this was normal. Then I sensed Lisa's presence and she gave me a small smile and walked away.

This was the worst day of my internship and l left for home to take bath which could relax my pent up anger and frustration.

This is the snap of the incident and keep reading to know how the story moves ahead.
