Savior (BWWM)

BLAKE'SPOV

There were so many articles, pictures, and even fantasy books about him.

Most of the links were about his job, his life, his age. I was shocked to see he was only 29. We were 5 years apart.

I knew deep down he was dangerous, but part of me believed there had to be something good in him. There had to be. No one was all evil. Even the worst people had moments of good. I guess that was the lawyer part of me thinking, always searching for a reason, always defending someone who might not deserve it.

Many of these articles were about his dealings with other dangerous men. I didn't want to click on those, they seemed boring even though I knew they'd point me to my answer. Isn't that what I wanted though? To see what kind of man he really was. I continued to ignore those articles and looked at others.

I clicked on an article that read,

Does billionaire Roman Ferrari, have a girlfriend? 

It was a picture of Roman with a girl wrapped in his arms. She smiled happily, while his face remained blank. He looked uninterested as she looked full of energy. I guess that's what he's into, a one night stand kind of guy.

They were entering a hotel. I'm sure we all knew what they were about to do next. They continued to talk about all the girls he'd bring into hotels different nights and how he doesn't know how to settle down with one girl. It wasn't a surprise he was having sex with different women. I rolled my eyes.

I clicked off that article and went to another.

Was Roman Ferrari's brother's death accidental or on purpose?

I frowned at the words of the article. It was a huge picture of Roman standing at a gravestone. He had on an all black suit with a heavy black coat. It was during the winter by the snow on the ground. There was an older man and woman across from him, that looked like his parents. They all had the same physical features. He was holding a little girl's hand, which I assume was his sister. None of them showed emotion in the picture, except the little girl, who was crying.

The article explained that his father used to run the organization before Roman took over. Officially, they were a tech company with side businesses. But anyone with sense could tell that was a cover. I rolled my eyes. Still, I wondered what kind of life he had growing up.

Even with everything people knew about him, they still fantasized. I shook my head.

"Find anything interesting." Rae questioned which made me turn my attention away from my phone.

"Yeah. The internet basically says he's rich, selfish, and dangerous." I said with thick sarcasm.

She tilted her head at me, "And?"

"And? And what?"

"Do you like him?"

I stared at her like I seen a ghost. "AND, what makes you say that Rae?"

Why would she even ask that? I barely knew him. He was a criminal, for god's sake. Sure, he was interesting, but was I really drawn to someone people basically called the devil?.

"Well, if you claim you don't like him." She air quoted. "I definitely know he has some kind of interest in you."

No. He only wants me to get into his bed, but I won't admit that to her. She'll encourage me to do it.
