I made a change to chapter X so I would reread the encounter between Ivar and Lorenzo in the lobby or you may not understand some things.
Maverys POV

I was left alone in my office with little to no instruction at all. I debated on hunting down Lorenzo and asking him what he wants me doing, but decided against it.

I was very please when I first saw my office. It was way bigger than I expected with grey walls and blue accents all across the room. The dark brown planked floors gave it a modern touch that I found very fitting. The desk that sat towards the back of the room was enormous with a nice computer and desk phone. Behind the desk though, is what caught my attention.

Massive windows stretched from wall to wall and from the floor to the ceiling, giving an amazing view of the city. I have always been more of a city person, which is why I was so awestruck by the view. I could only imagine how it would look at night with all the lights.

I walked behind my desk and sat down in the leather chair behind it, then pulled it in to a comfortable distance away from the desk. When I clicked the mouse the computer turned on with a calandras displaying my jobs for that day. It was just after lunch, meaning I probably won't get the chance to eat until late tonight when I get to the penthouse. That's fine with me though, I'm used to not eating for days at a time. A few hours won't kill me.

Lorenzo's POV

I can't believe this. He thinks he can take my territory in New York?! Over my dead fucking body.

"You are lucky I am even allowing you to expand east of California, and you come here to my territory to disrespect me?" I snap at a noticeably annoyed Ivar.

"Lorenzo you have to look at the bigger picture!" He tries to explain, "You would get 15% of my profits and I would help you better control the area."

This makes me laugh, fifteen percent? And what is he even talking about? I control my territory flawlessly without his help. "Are you done insulting me? Either run back to California now and we can forget this ever happened, or bring another dumb ass argument up and get a bullet between your eyes."

Ivar is noticeable upset. "Get out of my office before I change my mind." I snap.

Ivar huffs and leaves my office. I probably should have killed him but he has a lot of connections I can use. As well as the fact that I don't want to have a cleaning crew in my office. If he ever even brings up expanding in the again US I will kill him without a second thought.

Mavery

I finished the first few assignments on my computer, everything was going great. I was surprisingly really good at this.

I clicked through some documents just making sure everything was right when I noticed something. Ten thousand dollars was being transferred out of the account every week. So small of an amount that I bet nobody probably noticed. I then added up the total income for the year. We were missing $520,000. The weird thing is that it is being transferred to California. To be fair that isn't too much money lost (compared to how much money the company makes) but Lorenzo definitely needs to know about this.  I called him and told him I had something urgent to show him and that I will be over in a second.

I printed out the files to show Lorenzo and hurriedly headed to his office since he should be on his way to a meeting in a few minutes. I opened my office door and made a dash to his office. I looked down to reassure I had the papers I needed when I completely smashed into something- someone? My papers flew everywhere.

"Shit!" I bend down to pick my papers up. I glance up at the man I had run into and fear enters my body. I know this man.

TRIGGER WARNING THIS CONTAINS ABUSE
Flash back-

"Mavery get your ass in here and get another round of shots!" My father screams at me from the living room. He has a bunch of his friends over for meetings, then just gets wasted with them. It's ridiculous and leaves a huge mess for me. I walk into the room in the stupid outfit my father made me put on. It's a fucking mini skirt and low V neck top. I look like a stripper. The men all cheer when I walk into the room with drinks. I hate this. I set the drinks on the table. "Wait." Someone says. "I have to take a piss." He snaps at me like I'm supposed to do something about it. "Lead him to the bathroom, Mavery." My father demands. I reluctantly lead the man to the restroom. I know this man from some previous meetings, I think his name is Ivar. He gives me the creeps.

When we reach the restroom I turn to leave him and he grabs my wrist. "Now now belissima," he pulls be close to him, his fingers start moving up my skirt. I scream for help but it's no use. My father wouldn't care if he heard me. He started kissing me as I try to fight him when he goes to take off his shirt I see my opportunity and kick him in the crotch. He is very wasted and stumbles back a little in pain. I try to run but he pulls my leg back making me fall to the floor. "I was just going to fuck you but I guess now you are in for a different treat."

The 'treat' he was talking about was beating me senseless until I blacked out.

END OF FLASHBACK

I didn't know what to do... do I run? Pretend that I don't know him? Maybe he doesn't recognize me? "Ah Mavery!" He exclaims. Shit shit shit.

"It's been too long." He smirks at me. At this point I am still crouched down picking up my papers, and I can see his grimy eyes looking down my shirt from above due to it falling forward. I quickly pull it back. "If you will excuse me-" I stand up and try to walk past him. "You are looking great Doll. Even better than last time." He says whole undressing me with his eyes. "We will have to redo that night when I am sober so I can remember it better," he winks.

"I don't think you should take pride in beating up a woman." I hiss and walk past him down the hall. "You really think that's all I did to you that night?" Is the last thing I hear before entering Lorenzo's office and slamming the door.
