"Why in the world did I ask him out to drinks, he's going to think that I have a crush on him or something" I think to myself while cleaning up whatever's left on my end table. I look up at my wall clock and realize what time it was, 7:19pm. Guess time does go by fast when you have people over and deal with all of that.

After finishing up cleaning I go change out of my clothes and change into something sexy, but not to sexy for everyone to stare at me like ravaging dogs. I slip myself into a body-con maroon dress, low black and white converse shoes and grab a denim jacket to go with it. After that I put half of my hair up and curl it as well. Once that was done I touch up my makeup to an evening look.

I go grab my purse that my mother gave me to me a few years back and check the time on my phone only to see a two worded message from my boss, "I'm here". I head down to see him standing there next to his black matte Mercedes Benz. He's wearing a slightly unbuttoned white shirt, black jeans and oxford shoes. His hair is a little messy, but it looks good on him. He greets me with a smile and opens up the door for me.

"You look absolutely beautiful Ali" he whispers into my ear before closing the door behind me. I try to shake away the blush forming onto my face before he gets into the car. What is this man doing to me?! He gets into the car and we head down to the place that he is taking us to.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uZEsyT7F9
We arrive at the place and it looks more like a club than a nice place to go have a drink. The last time I was at a club was with my best friend and Hunter, before it all went to hell. And it was this exact club to be exact, Devil's Point. I just let those memories slip into the back of my mind and enjoy the night with Mr. Stone. Which turns out to be a big mistake that I didn't know would happen until 2:17am.

"I hope this place is okay? We can go somewhere else if you'd like?" I hear Carter say to me locking the car behind us. I should have said something but I didn't, I said.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAiiKMpfqE
"Yes, it's fine."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugMVVLrrR2
We walk into the loud sound of the music playing and head straight towards a small area that he has reserved for us. Perks of owning a lot of places in New York. I set my stuff down and we get back up to go order some drinks at the bar.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8vm9mp7TM
"Bourbon on the Rocks" he says to the bartender.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU1ZJEs1SB
"Give me a Lynchburg-Stone Lemonade, extra Jack" I tell the bartender. He starts making our drinks and we sit there waiting for them.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHLXij5ya
"Let me guess, you've been here before?" Carter asks me.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CiGMJtIBa
"Yeah, why?"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY8GvIdEIc
"That is one of my signature drinks." he says with a smile on his face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVdVmajEN5
"No way, it is?!" I ask him with a surprised look on my face. I have been coming here for 4 years and I haven't even thought to think that this was his signature drink. Should've known considering that it is mom's and dad's names put together. He dropped the Lynchburg because it reminds him of his deadbeat father. His words not mine. Can't believe that slipped my mind.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh3xI9qkxH
"You should've know considering it is my family's name in the title."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM56gijLsY
"I must've forgot. It's been awhile I've been here" I reply back. The bartender comes back with our drinks and we sit there for awhile. "Same as always."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jVo8x2Bb
"Never mess with a classic, am I right?"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDEQdsWq0
"Heh, yeah" we say clinking our glasses together and enjoy our drink. Two glasses later I decide to hit the dance floor, but first.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRMhXKST9Q
"Come on Mr. Carter Stone!!" I scream out to him as the music gets louder as we speak.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMohTQVLdM
"No thanks. I don't dance" he screams back at me. I grab his arm and pull him off of his chair and lead him to the middle of the dance floor. They start playing a fast beat song and I start dancing like nobody is watching. I stop for a sec to see Carter laughing at me.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1OAIfuWjl
"If you don't start laughing I will make them play a cheesy song Mr. Stone" I say with a smirk on my face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7SWnhy7Qe
"Okay, Fine" he says as he turns me around and puts his hands on my waist and I start moving my hips with the beat.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQte1fnipj
He runs one of his hands up and down my body and twists me around until we are face to face. He then turns me around and grips his hands back onto my waist making me grind on him. I lean down to touch the floor and then come back up and wrap an arm around his neck and he follows my move by turning me around and have me face him once more. By the time he turns me around the song ends and both of us are out of breath. Others glare at us and a few clap for us. We leave the dance floor and go grab another drink.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJujPoYSu45
"Since when did you know how to dance like that?" he asks me.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNJQPD0qWf
"My mom taught me to dance. But those moves right there, I have no idea" I say with a little bit of laughter in my voice.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHXBCVbRPL
"I see. Not bad."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4S1C4XDzQ
"Same goes for you Mister I thought I can't dance."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CvNxtFzRd
"Trust me, that is all I know." he says with a smile on his face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmm0SSVrh5
"Oh, okay. We'll see" I say while setting my glass down asking for another one. Hours pass by, we have a few more drinks and then I head over to find out that my purse is gone.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NRkRDdfCP
"What the hell!?!" I scream out loud.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhcBWHIpj
"What's wrong Aaliyan?"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWEdqguBxg
"My bag, it's gone!" I scream letting a couple of tears slip down my face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC7QXSWsYo
"What the fuck? Who would steal a woman's purse. How disgraceful." he yells out with a furious look on his face. I look at him and then glance away to see someone clutching my bag around their feminine arm. That bitch!!
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dt3cKI2QV
"Don't worry I know exactly who took it. I will be right back." I say to him and practically take off full sprinting out of the club into the pouring rain and catch up with the person who took my bag. I turn them around to see Camilla with a devilish grin on her face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94zhP1GsyS
"Looking for this bitch?" she says while showing it off.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRyzteMpXQ
"You know that means something to me. That is the last thing my mother gave to me and you just had to take it just to piss me off."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXPW9DImUo
"I know it does, that is why I took it." she says letting out a devilish laugh.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ZKTn8amL
"You-" I start to say until I hear a pair of footsteps stand right behind me and put their hand over my mouth. I know that faint smell anywhere. I yank myself out of their grip and turn around to see him.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VOepxaJIp
"YOU?!" I say with a look of absolute fear on my face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9faRNApvGq
"Miss me?" I hear him say to me.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCa5eXl2B9
"I thought you were dead?" I say almost stuttering.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6umFBgNv
"Well, your hero forgot to finish me off. If it wasn't for Camilla here, I would be dead right now." he says getting closer to me and grips one of his hands onto my neck again like he did yesterday.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ipfukTZz
"Let me go you bastard!" I scream out while kicking his leg. He just stands there not losing his stance or grip.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbZk8t8MVP
"I am not done with you yet" he says letting go off my neck and then grabs me by my hair and practically drags me into a building down the street. He tosses me into a small room with nothing but a bed and a chair in it, and closes the door behind him with two other guys in the room.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0OPY9lrkb
"I am going to teach you a lesson for letting your bodyguard getting into our business." he says walking towards me, leans down and grips his hands around my jaw and gives me a quick look. He then lets go of my jaw and nods at his buddies who know exactly he means. They get close to me and pick me up, I yank and struggle the best that I can to try and escape.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3dXa17Mb3
"Don't even try, it's no use" one of the men say while they both toss me onto the bed making me lose my shoes in the process. All that is left is my dress and lingerie. They tie up both of my wrists to the bed post and I keep on struggling. I am not going to go down without a fight.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfjCJq6qan
"Just give up bitch, it's no use" the other one says getting on top of me and gripping one of his hands around my jaw. He lets go and then starts kissing my neck. All I could smell was whiskey and cigarettes in the both of them. He rips off my maroon dress leaving me exposed in my underwear.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiQfbte7G7
"Oh, this is going to be fun" He says unclipping my bra and tossing it aside. He grips his hands onto my breasts and start massaging them roughly. I look away from him as he does this and let out a few tears. 'Just get this done and over with Hunter!!' As I close my eyes to prepare for the worse to happen I hear someone come in and yank the two men away from me.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbCYmsxC03
"Don't you dare touch my wife!!" I hear a man screaming out while knocking the man who touched me to the floor.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvBkspZ6oH
"Mr. Stone?!" I scream out.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFrPsFcpHv
"Aaliyan Olivia!!" I hear him yell out with a breath of relief afterwards. He gets on top of me and unties the ropes that were tied around my wrists. I open my eyes to see him wrapping a jacket that he left in his car around me. I grab my dress, bra and slip on my shoes and we make a run for the exit until we reach his car. I get into the passenger side and he starts the car and dashes off to his place.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6luxQKCoag
"I'm sorry" I say to him barely glancing his way. I do notice that his hands are gripped tight on the steering wheel turning his knuckles white. I put a hand on his thigh calming him down just a bit. He loosens his grip and takes a couple of deep breaths.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLuXRcBlL6
"No need to apologize, it was not your fault. You were just trying to get your purse back from Camilla. I knew you could handle yourself."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmspil8VrSv
"Thanks, but I thought that he was dead."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WCIBbqCXi
"I guess I didn't give him that one final blow. I thought he was dead too."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgLt6Nwhvp
"He seems to be in pretty good shape for someone who was practically beaten to death last night." I say a bit confused.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UA0ZdZqn
"Yeah, that concerns me too" he says a bit confused too.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFurPDjP5iU
We sit in silence until we reach his place. Both of us get out and head inside. I set my dress down on a chair in his dining area and take a long deep breath. I really need it.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqM4uTi9U
"If you want to take a shower you can go take one in my guest room." he says while unbuttoning his shirt and head to his room. I take up on that offer and head to the guest bed and bath. I take off the jacket and see the bruises that are on my neck and now forming on my breast. I start the warm shower and let the dirt and scent of that man wash off of me.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG49aPl6yo
"I'm not done with you yet"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI2z1WSKjf
"Don't even try, it's no use."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrXkwgdpuz
"Just give up bitch!"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYjLLL07x
"Don't you dare touch my wife!!"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWju3Vi2PQ3
I get out off the warm shower and see that their is a pair of clothes laid out for me. I dry myself off and put them on. After that I leave the room and take a tour of the place until I stop at a picture of what looks like a sister and a mom laughing and having a great time. This brings back those memories that I have of my mother and father. Why did he have to leave us at such a horrible time?!
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Ra0YFd8p
"Why don't you just leave then? It wouldn't be the first time."
"We just lost a member of our family and you want to leave us?!"
"How could you father?! I hate you!!"
"I just can't be here anymore. I'm sorry"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpml5Virtx8
I feel tears forming on my face and I wipe them away quickly.
"You okay Aaliyan Olivia?" I hear Carter say while putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Y-yeah, I'll be okay" I answer glancing at the photo once more and then head to his living room.
"Are you sure?" he asks once more.
"Yeah" I lie. He notices it but doesn't push it any further.
"Okay. I'm here if you need to talk about anything, you know that right?"
"Yeah. Thanks."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2d2klNf0I
We just sit there in silence for a few minutes and listen to the sound of cars passing by and the metro trains making stops and then leaving once more. He gets back up and goes to grab a couple of drinks from his fridge. He tosses me a light beer and says, "you might need this after what happened tonight, trust me." I just smile and accept the drink.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6sstscjy
"So, wife huh?" I say breaking the ice once more in this man's somewhat cold heart.
"Heh, yeah sorry about that. It was just in the heart of the moment."
"I see. You sure that it wasn't something else?" I ask with a smirk on their face.
"I am sure. I am not into you and besides your my VP assistant."
"Oh, okay." I say with a little bit of disappointment in my tone. "Anyways, I should be getting home. I'll just go call a cab and give you these clothes back tomorrow."
"No, you are staying here tonight. Not when we know that he is still out there."
"Fine. Tomorrow then." I say agreeing with his statement.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJcm7EbpgA
‘’Or-?" He starts to say.
"Or what?" I ask him.
"You could just move in with me for a little bit. Just temporary until we know that he is gone, for good." he finishes saying.
"I'm sorry what?" I say with a bit of shock spread across my face. "You want me, to move in, with you?"
"Did I stutter?" He says getting up and sitting next to me, inches away from my face.
I take a sip from my light beer and show him my hand, he grabs it and we handshake on this idea.
"Welcome to the Stone household, Aaliyan Olivia" he says with a smirk spread across his face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcfURagpiw
What in the world did I agree to?
And little did I know that everything just gets even more complicated from there.
