I turned to be confronted by a wide chested figure dressed in a marvelous black Italian suit, the type commercialised in some underwear ad. Forcing a dry gulp down my throat, I looked up in order to meet the almost immaculate person . He looked ffffake! It should be illegal to be that good looking, as well as successful in life.
.....With that in mind, I composed myself as I sealed my heart with courage and forced a confident expression. I held out my hand, "Anastasia Rodriguez, pleasure to meet you." His greeting sparked an innocent smile across my lips which only triggered a faded smirk from him in return. "Take a seat Ms. Rodriguez" he replied as he unclutched his hands from mine, welcoming me further into his office.
"So Ms.rod-"
"Call me Ana," I cut him off, regretting it straight away. He raised his eyebrow at me as he continued to inspect my resume.
"Ms.Rodriguez, what brings you to my company today," --obviously applying for a position in your company.
Ana was not aware that her life would be on the verge of a complete revolution before meeting barrister Harrison Mitchell. Would her fiesty yet kind-hearted nature handle this intimidating man. Or will she find herself damaged after a heartbreaking decision he makes.

"I'm okay. Just... feeling a little d-izzy." "Come." He grabbed my hand and dragged me after him over to his chair. Getting me to sit in it, he remained standing before me, with his eyes not leaving me. "I think I'm okay now." I wanted to get up but he gently pushed me back. "Just sit back for a little more while." "But this is your cha..." I jerked up while saying so but the last word had gotten caught on my lips because I currently had my lips pressed against his.

Hate War
His cold eyes moved from my face to all over my white lace dress with a clenched jaw. I felt weak in my knees but I was successful in keeping my brave face. "Nina is that you? You are looking so beautiful" he said while looking at me. I blushed I was still feeling burning holes in my back I gulp down nervously. "Have some drink?" he said while taking a glass from the waiter. "No she is leaving," said the harsh voice next thing I know champagne was all over my dress staining it and making me gasp. Before I could react he gripped my hand & dragged me near the pool area where no one could see us. I snatched my hand away from his tight grip "Why the hell you ruined my dress" I half yelled. "What the fuck you are doing at my party looking like a slut" he yelled angrily while pinning me to the wall. Listening to his words my blood boiled. "Let me guess you came here to ruin my mood by showing your ugly face," he said with an angry smirk letting me know his hate. "Stop giving yourself so much importance. I'm here for your mom. My face may be ugly but ugly souls like you are not even worthy of my life's single second" I said angrily and pushed him away from me but he didn't let me go away. "I can hide my ugly soul beside this face but ugly ducklings like you carry their ugliness which can't even be hidden by beautiful dresses because they stain everything around them with their ugliness" his words were hurting my soul. I won't give him the privilege to see my tears. With all my power I pushed him making him stumble and fall into the pool.

Intern
"That's your boss? He's hot." "He's bipolar." "Introduce me, please!" Jasmin begs, weighing my shoulder down. "Isn't he the reason why you're going abroad?" "Eh." I shrug, watching as he hands someone his bags, laughing at something they say. This man is doing something to me. And it's strange. "Roni. I know you didn't get dressed that cute for no reason." She points to my outfit, raising an eyebrow at me. "I'm just comfortable. And he's coming over right now." Mr. Hayes strides towards us and I fix my posture, smiling at him. "Hello to your friend." Adrian waves as my friend begins to swoon. "Are you ready? You better not embarrass me, Roni-Ann." He holds his arm out for me and I take it, humming in response. "Yes, sir." ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈« "You don't listen, Roni-Ann!" "Me? I do what you tell me. When have I ever went against you?" "Yesterday. I told you to stay inside. Or at least call me when you got home. You did neither!" Adrian yells at me and I flinch, not expecting it. "I don't have to take orders from you outside of this workplace. I'm my own individual." "You don't, huh?" He traps me between his body and the wall and I look up at him, his eyes darkening. "Joder, Roni-Ann." "Please calm down." "How does it feel to be a murderer..." He mutters, leaning down to kiss my ear and I tense up. "Because you're killing my heart." He doesn't think of me as- "I'm your intern, sir. This shouldn't be happening." I stutter, my legs too weak for me to move. "You're not thinking straight." "All interns get an upgrade, eventually. Yours just might make you mine."Complete
Not Likely
He was seated at the head of the table, his laptop open in front of him, no doubt already prepared to ask us a bunch of invasive questions. But he wasn't looking at the screen. He was looking at me. Stopping in my tracks, I looked back, wondering if I had spilt something on my clothes. A quick look down showed that nothing was out of the ordinary. So I looked up again to find his meditative gaze fixed on me, sizing me up. Now my gaze narrowed. "What?" I asked, trying to bring politeness into my accusatory tone. He seemed to notice that my effort had failed because he raised an eyebrow, his head tilting to the side as he appraised me. "You're the head of marketing for FMCG?" he finally asked, his rich voice giving me a picture of a high bank balance. Some people just have the voice that feels like a fat cheque. He has that voice in a low, deep register. "Yes," I replied, trying to not get distracted by his intimidating presence. "What are you; 12?" he asked, in a quietly scoffing tone.
