You Found Me ( A Dark Romance )

06 || Let It Go

Zion's P.O.V

I rolled out of bed. Quite literally, bringing the sheets down with me. It's honestly really exhausting becoming the next boss. I got up checking the time. 6:40 AM. I have to get up in 20 minutes anyways. Might as well do it now. I headed over to the shower and after that to get dressed.

As I made my way into the kitchen I see Olivia, stuffing her face with cereal. "You do know we have a personal chef right?" She turned around in her seat and looked at me, chewing softly. I chuckled. In that time my chef waltzed in starting up my breakfast. "Well I didn't know. But thank you for telling me while even though it was too late." She put her dish in the sink and turned towards me. Feeling her stares, I looked up from my phone. "What is it now?" I asked her. She folded her arms and gave me a smug look before saying "What type of work do you do?" She has no business in that. So I won't tell her. If my enemies ever find out I have someone that I may possibly be attracted to they will end her life to get to me. And I simply can't have that.

"I'm a stock broker. One of the top tier." Knowing I was completely lying straight to her face. She brushed past me then stopped. "I don't have time for the lies Zion. I'll figure out what you actually do because that strengthens our relatio-" She cut herself off and kept walking. Relationship? What is she talking about? Whatever. That was a close one. Not really.

I tell everyone that except people who are actually apart of what I do. The chef put a plate in front of one of the bar stools on the island with the plate consisting the items: Eggs Benedict, Spinach and mimosa. "Excuse me sir, would your lady friend like any?" I was stirred from eating. "I don't know Fredrick, I'll go ask her. Wouldn't want your food or work to go to waste." I slapped the counter and walked away. I knew where Olivia was. She was currently doing one of her chores.

"Olivia, would you like some Eggs Benedict and such?" She turned around to face me. The wind blowing over her face showing such beauty. She brushed her hair out of her face asking me what did I say. I repeated myself. Only for her I would do that. She told me after she's done walking the dogs she will accompany me for some fine dining.

I cut a piece of my eggs and put it inside my mouth. Savoring the taste. Fredrick did know how to cook some mean eggs. I chuckled at myself. I grabbed the wine glass containing mimosa and took a sip. Only to be disturbed by the scraping of the bar stool next to me. I peeked over with one eye to see Olivia. A wincing emotion spread over her face as she said "Sorry." In a whisper.

She pulled off the silver dome and it seemed like she stared in awe. As if she never had food like this. I gave a wry laugh and took another sip of my drink. "What?" She asked me, starting to tear apart her food. I finished eating before her and went into my study. Pouring myself a drink before sitting down at my desk and starting up work.

Olivia's P.O.V

He laughed at me. He seriously just laughed at me. I've never ever had this Egg Benedict. What is this? It looked yummy though and tasted yummy, once I tried it. He finished eating and got up leaving me at the island by myself. Sad times.

Honestly I can't believe I let it almost slip that I may have a crush on him or see him getting down on one knee and asking me to be his wife for all of eternity. And who would think he's actually a nice guy. Well seems like it because he's opening up to me. Like when I first got here he was just saying one word phrases to me. Not that I don't enjoy his husky, musclier dreamy voice. It's a bit odd. What if he has feelings for me too? I screeched. Squirming a little bit but quickly covered my mouth. If he actually has feelings for me...This would change everything. Consider me one of those fans who legit cuts the band name into their wrists, well not exactly. I won't kill myself now. I also happen to know he possibly isn't a stock broker. Maybe a prince or a spy.

I took a peek at those "documents" Nick gave me and let's just say it wasn't numbers. It looked like names and by the name it stated deceased, how they died etc. Like what stock broker does that. I am going to find out what he does. I put my plate up in the sink and began to wash the dishes. "No ma'am sorry. I wash the dishes." One of the maids stopped my hands. I still wanted to wash them but I didn't want like bad blood and for her to like do anything towards me. So I allowed her to. She smiled and took my place.

I knocked on his office door. I heard him say "come in." I opened the door and leaned against the door frame. "What you doing?" I asked him in the most annoying voice possible. "Work, Olivia why?" He seemed annoyed. "Oh nothing just wanted to be annoying." I let out a giggle. "Well you've done it. You can leave now." He retorted.

I started to turn around to leave and then his butler I would believe had a package in his hand. This seemed interesting, I have to stay. "Sir, you have a package awaiting you." The butler said. "Thank you Daniel. You can place it here on my desk." Daniel the butler, placed the package and left. "What is it?" I asked Zion. "Why don't you open it." He held out a X-Acto knife. Me? Open his package? He must love me.

I walked over and took it. "No return address."I stated and then shook the box. Sounded like nothing. I pierced the tape and started to open the box. I almost had the box open when Zion tackled me to the ground. Closing the office door. I screamed and asked "Why did you do that?" I was know kind of scared.

"Poisonous gas." He replied. How would he know? "I know because 1) No return address. 2) I smelt it and have used it on one of my victims. Hypinstore. It has a certain lavender smell. But it is deadly." I tapped my chin. Victims? Ha, I knew he wasn't a stock broker. Probably a spy. No for sure a spy. I then decided to play dumb for a little bit.

"Wow. Zion you know if you just wanted me out of your office you could've just said so. Instead of making up some elaborate lie." I got up dusting my self off. "And even if it was poisonous gas. Why would someone want to kill a stock broker?" He got up along with me and replied with a lie. "I honestly...don't know Olivia. My job has a lot of enemies when they can't get ahold of certain stocks..." I rolled my eyes whilst he pulls out his phone to call somebody.

He started to walk outback to talk on the phone. I walked into the living room. Sat on the couch and started to relive that moment. I know we just met but he doesn't have to lie to me. He's a spy and if he wants this relationship that he doesn't know I fantasize about to work. He just has to trust me.
