'Now off you go, before your wild boyfriend comes looking for you.'
And true to those words, as soon as she stepped inside the premises of the office, she saw him out, about to hop inside his Mercedes Benz.
The guards around him, a line of luxury sleek black cars behind his. Then his eyes caught hers.
She could not help but skip a breath, as to the way he looked at her. She had thought he would come up to her and drag her inside.
At least that was how she had pictured him to be by staying with him so far since the day she had collided against him.
Instead, he said something to his head of security and the bulked man nodded, then eyed her standing by the gate.
He turned around and strode back inside the 'Cardoso Tower', making her sigh in relief for the moment.
"Mr. Cardoso wants you inside."
No longer before she could breathe in, that voluminous man was by her side.
When did he even get here?
"I can go by myself."
She snapped at him. She was not the kind of woman to be scared by his size and height. She could take him down if she wanted to.
But forced her mind to act and play the role of the 'Damsel in Distress' to get the job done and disappear from here for once and all.
"Mr. Cardoso ordered me to escort you inside, strictly Miss."
"I know my way inside."
She continued to stand her ground, unfazed. And the man's cell rang. He nodded his head obediently and then handed her the phone.
She eyed him weirdly, not taking it right away. Only after he told her who it was from.
"It is Mr. Cardoso. He wants to talk..."
She snatched the phone away from him before he could complete it and placed it near her mouth, being on the speaker.
"Hello?"
"You disobey Lucas one more time, and I'm coming down to get you instead..."
He spoke right away, making her cheeks red as it was on speaker and even Lucas could hear it.
"Not before spanking that ass red, you get that Alister?"
She immediately turned off the speaker mode and the guard cleared his throat.
"I need words."
"Yeah...yeah!"
She did not want another drama to be unfolding and knowing that psychopathic man, had no fear or shame to start one.
"Good girl!"
She did not want to listen anymore to his crude remarks and handed the cell back to Lucas, ending the call.
"After you Miss."
He stepped aside giving her way, She did not protest any longer and moved forward without a thought, followed by him after.
They walked inside and through the lobby. All the eyes made her self-conscious. They waited for his private lift to come down.
"Mr. Cardoso went a bit ahead of himself while looking out for you."
Lucas said. No wonder why everyone was eyeing her the way they did. He had stirred a drama even before she got here.
"He thought you got lost inside the tower."
It made Alister look at Lucas right in the face, if before she was staring at the front.
What a good excuse by the self presumptuous lord himself!
She wanted to tell that out loud but decided against it. The lift came down on time and she got inside first, then he followed.
She seriously needed to talk with him about the impossibility of staying with him all the time.
It was insane and she would turn into one if she were to be with that man, inside one room for the entirety of her day, and all the days to come until it was over.
The lift gates opened and the pair of gray eyes were the first thing she saw, standing at the very front.
And even before she could react, he pulled her out. She gasped as he did, slamming his lips against hers, hitting the button for the lift to close and get down with Lucas in it.
His aggressive move made her stumble backward as his kiss became more demanding and furious.
Hands cupping her face and hers were on the top of his shoulders trying to not lose her balance.
Her back hit against the closed gates of the lift as he hovered all over her body. He let go of her swollen lips only when he had made sure that she had bled for him and felt the taste of it in her tongue.
She hissed and pushed him off of her with all her might. He let go with a smirk plastered on his face.
She touched her lower lip and felt the red liquid on her finger. A real lunatic! That he was...indeed he was.
"Do not think you would be welcomed with a warm hug and kiss when you leave behind my back!"
He let out, the smirk being replaced by the usual cold expression on his face.
She could not take in how much self-absorbed one man ever could be. Well, then she had to collide against with Ryan Fucking Cardoso.
"Tell me you were not with my bastard brother."
Her heart thumped against her chest, and the moment he asked her about it. His eyes trained into hers, not looking away once.
"No."
She kept her answer, short and simple to not catch his suspicion. She had learned the art of lying without being caught.
But the longer his scrutinizing gazes analyzed her, the more conflicted she felt if or not he had come to believe her lie.
Ryan Del Cardoso was a tricky man. She could still bet it that that evening, he had seen her and knowingly put his feet to make her skip a step and fall instead.
"Good!"
When he looked away, she felt herself breathing in again. She rested her head against the liftgate, only to stand straight when he came back to her.
"Come with me."
He offered his hand and before she could hold him, he took hers without one question asked.
What was she thinking that he would wait for her?
He took her to sit on his sofa. She obliged and gave her the ice pack to apply on her lips.
"Apply it. "
He said, sitting beside her. Being the one to give pain and then to give relief...what kind of a man was he?
"Only if I had known you were not lying, baby."
"Then what if I was?"
She wanted to know exactly how far he could go. His gentle eyes turned darker once again.
He came close to her such that no space was left between them and took the ice pack from her hand.
"I would not be making you hold this...instead a gun to shoot yourself."
He pulled out one fully loaded revolver from the drawer of his glass table before them and placed it on her hand.
Her eyes were stuck on the black gun and then lifted up to see the psychotic owner of it, who was eyeing all over herself.
He made her hold the trigger and then placed the hole of the revolver right in the middle of her forehead.
A crazy demeanor taking over himself. She did not flinch either and continued to be there with him, without moving.
He chuckled.
"One thing you must know...that I do not joke around, baby."
