Kasity :

Next morning...

I was finally back to my job after two long and painful weeks.

I had so many papers to deal with and many cases to prepare...

One of my asistents came in my office quickly...

"Ms. Damassiel, you've got many appointments for today, this is the schedule" he says as he handles me a long list.

I was so furious because nobody took the initiative to deal with some things and I had to finish it all on my own.

"You also have a meeting with your former client, Mr. Perez " he says...

At that moment I freeze...

"What does he want again" I mumble...

"You can leave" I show my asistent the door so I could call Areson to ask him about Sebastian.

He didn't respond...

I called him multiple times but he was unavailable...

"Okay then, guess I'll have to deal with Sebastian on my own" I say while sighing some papers...

Two hours later...

My assistant came in my office...

"Mr. Perez is here to meet you" she says.

"Bring him in, let's see what he has to say" I respond, preparing my arrogant behaviour to face this vicious criminal.

"Long time no see" he comes in my office...

"Sit" I show him the chair.

Then I get up.

One question Perez.

"Where's Areson?" I look straight in his eyes.

"That's what concerns you the most or the future of your career?" He asks back.

"Where's Areson Kingstone? You know I'm not stupid. He's not answering the phone and there's some weird thing going on" I tell him, raising my voice.

"Are you going to threaten me again?" He smiles.

At that moment, he got up and approached me.

"He left." He slowly and firmly says with a malicious look on his face.

"Where did you take him?" I ask him again, not abandoning the thought of Sebastian's organisation behind all this.

"Damassiel, he left. Really, can't you understand? You were a useful easy path for him to achieve his ambitions, and by that, I mean the 'war' with me. It's surprising how such a smart powerful woman failed to grasp all this at the right time." He responds while talking with a provocative tone on his voice.

I turn around and walk towards the glass door of my office. I look outside, cross my hands and start crying.

I make sure Sebastian is not looking.

After a few minutes of silence, I return to face him again.

"Why are you here?" I ask, as I sit down to continue our conversation.

"Let me see..." he takes a deep breath.

"My last mafia business made me 'legal' again, so now, unfortunately nobody can accuse me." He smiles...

"Ms Kasity Damassiel. I have a business proposal for you. Only if you agree, of course." He announces, his face serious again.

I laugh and cross my arms.

"Sorry?" I ask while laughing because I couldn't believe he still had the audacity to talk about such things after what he'd done.

"Don't rush your decision" he continues...

"Oh, and just so you know. If you don't accept, your career is over, along with your powerful company." He finally says as I stare at him carefully.

I think about what he said. No, of course I'm not going to show weakness in front of him now.

"Again?" I ask...

"How many times is this going to happen again? This is tiring and exhausting and how come you aren't bored of all this threat game already?" I say, laying back on my chair clearly showing my boredom.

"Alright. Besides, I'm not willing to lose my company just because a man who's failed in every aspect of business, is using his criminal mind to manipulate me. Okay, Mr. Perez, we'll see how this is going to go too." I coldly say, obviously trying to insult him.

He gets up angrily and punches the desk.

"You're mad cause this is true." I try to provoke him once again.

"Watch your speech" he angrily says.

"No, thank you!" I raise my voice as he leaves the office, shutting the door behind him.

*In the meantime*

Areson :

I was laying unconscious on the bed, not being able to move or speak, while a dim white light was hitting my closed eyes. At that moment, I suddenly hear some familiar heels approaching...
