* Tasha's Point of View *
I stood outside Blades office door clutching the bento box in my hands. His Executive Assistants desk was empty so I didn't even know if he was in the office but I was still too nervous to open the door.
After Blade pulled back from our embrace outside our engagement party he had run both his thumbs under my eyes removing my tears before hustling me into the car and sending me home.
He hadn't gotten into the car with me and I hadn't heard from him personally since.
His assistant had been in touch letting me know that I would be moving into Blades residence and that my family would be coming for dinner in three weeks time as our schedules didn't align until then.
All my things were being moved out of my apartment and into Blades house now and I would be going home to his house after work tonight. Hence the attempt at a reconciliatory lunch.
Taking in a deep breath I opened Blades door and the Bento box slipped from my lifeless fingers as I took in the scene in front of me.
Missy, my own stepsister, was on top of Blade where he lay on the couch. As the Bento crashed onto the floor Blade started and turned towards me his eyes widening as he realised who had disturbed his little tryst. Missy meanwhile looked at me with such smug satisfaction I could have literally clawed her eyes out.
As Blade shoved Missy off him and turned towards me I took off, stabbing my finger on the lift call button, praying the lift would get to me before he did. Realising the lift wouldn't get to me in time I raced out into the stairwell and down the stairs not stopping until I reached my office. Locking the door and closing the blinds I finally allowed the hot tears to fall.
As I wiped furiously at my eyes I promised myself that this was the last time I would cry over Blade Night. There were no promises made between us and I knew the deal. I was the fool who felt more. I was too strong to break down and cry every time my feelings were hurt so taking a deep breath I pulled myself together.
Reaching into my purse I applied a little make up until I looked fresh faced and unaffected then opened the blinds and unlocked my door, a fake breezy smile on my face. I opened my office door and felt my confidence falter when I realised Night wasn't waiting on the other side.
I had been running from someone who wasn't chasing.

* Blade's Point of View *
I started awake at the sound of a crash and turned automatically to the source of the noise. My eyes widened in shock when I saw Tasha at the door, face white in shock, her eyes glistening with pain. I followed her eye line and realised there was someone on top of me and it was Missy, Tasha's step sister.
The last thing I remembered was sitting down on the couch for a quick bite to eat between meetings.. I must have fallen asleep. I hadn't been sleeping well since Flora died and it was obviously catching up with me.
I don't know how this bitch got into my office and on top of me but I would find out and then heads would roll.
Throwing the bitch Missy off of me I stumbled to my feet running for the door to catch Tasha to try and explain but she was already gone.
I know she had misunderstood what she saw and I couldn't blame her at all and I knew she was hurting and I should go and comfort her and explain however my priority now was to shut Missy down and find out who helped her get to me. That would save Tasha further hurt in the future and as she was living with me now I would be able to explain to her later.
I turned away from my office door and stepped towards Missy, and as she took in the murderous look on my face her cat that got the cream smirk faded into fear. Good, she should be afraid.
"Missy, I know about your sex tape. I actually blocked it's release and brought the original video so I had leverage against you just in case. This is what's going to happen. You're never going to pull this shit again. You're going to write a letter apologising to Tasha for trying to fuck her fiancé and then you're gonna be so fucking nice to that girl do you understand me? Let me tell you if you do anything, ANYTHING, to upset Tasha or fuck with our relationship again, I'll release that tape and make sure everyone sees it. Do you understand?"
The little bitch was shaking, looking pale and terrified and nodding her head like crazy in agreement of my terms.
Excellent, I always get what I want.
"Did my EA allow you to come in?"
"Ye, ye, yes, s, s, sh, she h,h,h,hel, help, helped-"
"Alright I get it.. I want Tasha to come to me beaming about that letter by tomorrow latest is that clear?"
Missy nodded in acquiescence and I had security escort her from the building. Now to fire my latest Executive Assistant (EA) for helping her!
