Samantha's P.O.V

"....the whole idea is for us to find a way we can access those materials before our rival does. So your job is to pitch ideas with the best alternatives for this project."

"Samantha? Samantha..." Alex calls me out of my daze.

"I get it you had and still have no interest in this dinner but what I'm talking about here is important. So you need to pay attention." He scolds.

"Why do you have to this though? I know you didn't bring me here for work even though you clearly made it clear what kind of an assh*le you are by threatening to fire me and make sure I couldn't get work in any remote area in this whole f*cking planet. So just drop the f*cking act and tell me what the hell you want!"

I'm tired of this crap. He keeps on bringing me back into his mess. A mess he created by being the egotistic ass he is.

I honestly would be playing rock, paper, scissors with Liam right now just to see who would have to get up from bed to go turn the lights off.

Or talking about about who is closer to the T.V remote when one of us is lazy to go get it.

But I'm with a sleazeball who finds ways to make me his puppet.

"Okay... listen I know you probably hate me Samantha and..."

"Smh... probably" I roll my eyes

"Okay fine. Hate me but could you at least give me a chance to make you not hate me. Let's just start there. We don't have to be more than that but please, give me a shot at forgiveness." He stretches his hand out and gently holds mine.

I couldn't move.

Not an inch.

Not because I was paralyzed by his touch or that I felt goosebumps. Rather it was because for the first time in a while. I felt nothing.

Granted the other times it was like a faint memory of what was but this time it was void of any emotions. Void of any memory. Just empty. Cold.

I couldn't even feel the warmth of his skin. I couldn't feel the sensations I got when he touched me and it flew me miles away into a frenzy.

For a second there I smiled as I looked at his masculine hand covering mine. I began to laugh so hard at the sight that when I turned my head around it felt like the air was knocked right out of me

I couldn't breathe.

My heart constricted in ways that broke me to the core and instantaneously I felt the tears streaming down my cheeks.

The image I saw broke me into a billion pieces of shattered glass as I saw the figure walk away as time seemed to come to a dramatic end.

"Liam! Alex let go of me! Liam wait. Please!!"

Hey guys........😊

So this chapter brings us to a crossroad.

This is where things will either take a dramatic turn and end or end and have a sequel?

You guys will have to determine the path to be chosen.

So comment and tell me what you want and I will deliver just that.

And I know I'm making you pick without even knowing what will be the result but it's a way for me to find out if you're interested in a sequel or you want the torture to end 😅

So tell me what you think about what I've suggested and what you think about the chapter itself.
