"Hey" I smile shyly at him, heat rising to my face.

He's smiling at me with his eyes, seeming to enjoy how awkward I feel about the situation.

"I went for a run at the beach and didn't see you when I came back." he smiles.

"I-I didn't think it would be good to still be sprawled on your bed till whenever, y-you know." I mumble, drawing circles with my fork on the table.

"I don't know" he smiles lazily, enjoying every moment of my mortification.

"Ughh, come on, it's not funny okay, people do this all the time, it's not a crime okay."

He just stays relaxed and very calm enjoying seeing me all worked up, somehow he looks even more handsome sitting so casually and lazily.

"I never said anything about last night or that it was a crime, you seem to be the only one thinking that way." he smiled tightly this time.

"Tell me, do you regret it?" he spoke in that sexy accent of his.

"No, do you?"

The edge of his lips tugs up into a smug grin and he winks knowingly. "What do you think?"

I can't help appreciating his good looks, this guy is a god among men and the rest of us are just faithful followers. Even in casual beach black patterned linen collar shirt, white shorts and just sandals, topped with his black sun shades that he slides up his hair, he looks amazingly hot. Is that even possible? Some people were just born lucky.

"So what are your plans for today?" he asks.

"Umm, none yet," I swallow,  "I guess I'll just go with the flow of the day." I utter lightly.

"Perf-" he goes rigid for a moment, his face unreadable.

"Hey, what's going on" I say.

He's looking ahead of me at something or someone, I try to turn around to see what has his attention but he pulls me by my hands.

"Follow me" he commands.

We are out of the restaurant area before I know what's happening and I tug me hands free from his.

"Err- no, you can't just pull me out like that, what or who are you hiding from, cause something or someone seemed to have you running from there just now." I snap.

He seem to debate telling me before he starts, "It's just an old acquaintance, she just can't seem to take a break."

"I wonder who would" I say to myself but he hears me and stalks toward me like a hunter to  it's prey."

"So are you saying you can't seem to take a break from me." a devilish smile is plastered all over his face.

I keep backing up till it's just the wall holding me in place, my heart's beating loud, I swear anyone could hear the sound of it.

"I didn't say that" I murmur.

"Not out loud but you implied it." I catch the flicker of amusement in his eyes.

He reaches for my face and holds my chin up, staring down at me again with that unreadable expression.

"How-" his phone rings interrupting the moment, he scowls at the screen before picking up, speaking to the other person in different language, It sounds Italian.

He puts it away about to continue but his phone blows up again, after checking the screen this time he doesn't pick it.

"How about we give you an adventurous vacation" he winks and pulls on my hand, I don't even get to have a say in the matter, leaving me to trail behind him.

We come to a stop at the sea side. Great maybe he'll just throw my body into the water, you know, cause he's so handsome and his only flaw maybe that he is a psychopath.

What if he is a serial killer too, waiting to kill me and dump my body somewhere but why was I obsessed with the idea of him being a serial killer. You know some killers could be really handsome that's why their victims don't suspect a thing, another thing was that other language he occasionally spoke to someone else on the phone sounding all mysterious, like he was trying to hide something.

What if he was in the mafia. Okay that's like a stretch but what if, I don't really know this guy.

"You know I'm still your tour guide, remember." he has that carefree look on his face now.

He makes a gesture with his head to the water and I see the jet ski.

"No way." I reply a look of horror on my face.

"Yes, way," he smiles, cupping my chin so I'm looking directly at him. "Come on, live a little, besides I'll be right with you all the time," he gives me an encouraging smile, "What do you say?"

"Umm, okay." 

He takes my hand and we go to one of the guards there, he's telling him something and I'm just in my own head riling with the fact that I'm actually going to do this.

I mean what's the point of having an adventurous vacation in a place where no one knows you if not for things like this, right?

He takes my hand and is putting the life jacket on me, "You know if you don't want to we could try out other stuff here." he says when he looks at me face.

"No, it's okay, it's just, I can't still believe I'm doing this, it's crazy but also exciting" I blurt.

"Hey, just relax and if you feel like you don't want to go on, just give me a sign and I'll stop."

"Okay" I smile and get onboard.

    The meeting had lasted just under two hours but it's effects lasted all day. When i got back to the office my mind was still swirling with events from ibiza and this morning's encounter."Cassie Adam." Katherine's voice pulled me back from my thoughts.Katherine hurries towards me a wide smile on her face. "You were brilliant today."I give her polite smile."Thank you.""I'm serious." she squeezes my arm lightly."You handled yourself like someone who's been presenting to billion dollar boards her entire career." she further emphasize.I force a smile, "I didn't feel like that today, I was trembling at the beginning." I..."You hid it well, Cassie, the best professionals rarely feel confident most times." she continues but lowers her voice"And for what it's worth, I don't think Mr Voss was disappointed."My heart skipped a beat when i heard his name again, my heart was a traitor."What makes you say that?" I'm so curious now. Well, you know what killed the cat."He listened, that m

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 21- Aftershocks

    He just stares at me, I don't know this man in front of me. He is a stranger, he's cold and unreadable. This man in front of me wasn't my Damian, he was foreign. This man in front of me couldn't be the man I'd been pining for the last six months. "I never said I wasn't." was all he repliedThen it hits me, maybe it was all intentional, just maybe he didn't feel like reaching out to me. I mean since he was so wealthy he could have easily contacted me if he wanted to. Maybe all of it was just in my head, me thinking that it meant more, that maybe he liked me just like, just like I liked him, but that was the deal, he didn't make any promises to me...But what about London, when he asked me to visit in London, what did that really mean. Did he want more or was he just teasing me? Either way, it doesn't matter anymore, I was just unlucky when it came to men, first it was Dean, now Damian. I really need to stay away from men forever, maybe I'll become a nun. "D-Did you know that I was wo

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 20- Professional Distance

    With every ounce of professionalism I possessed, I began, silently pleading that I could get through this without flopping."Good morning, everyone..." I barely recognized my voice."The vision of this year's Investor conferences and annual gala is to create an experience that's intimate despite its scale..." my voice steading with each word I spoke, gradually gaining my confidence pushing every other thoughts to the back of my mind.No one spoke for a moment after I finished my introduction. The first slide was still projected behind me.Damian glanced down at the proposal, his expression remained unreadable."Continue" his voice was calm, detached."Of course" I swallowed nervously and clicked the next slide."Our vision centers around creating an experience that feels luxurious without becoming..." my nerves were slowly fading, I was finding my rhythm. This was work and work came easily."Our guest will arrive through a candle lit entrance rather than a traditional red carpet. It c

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 19 - The Man in the Boardroom

    I wake before my alarm goes off, laying in my bed staring at the ceiling of my apartment. For some reason I couldn't explain my stomach felt tight. It was just another client meeting, I have presented to executives before, pitched million dollars events, this shouldn't be any different.I shake away all thoughts as I get up from my bed. Today matters a lot and I don't need nerves getting the better part of me.I arrive by eight-thirty at Voss Global Holdings and get into the elevator. The elevator door opens onto the executive floor of Voss Global Holdings.The space was understated rather than flashy, Italian marble, warm walnut panels, abstract art, and floor to ceiling windows framing Manhattan.Every detail was amazing, intentional. I walk up to a front desk officer."Hi, Good morning, I'm Miss Adams from Deluxa celebration company." she greets me with a warm smile and points me towards the executive room.I thank her and head toward the executive boardroom, clutching my presentat

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 18 - Decision

    It's been two days, two days of constant meetings with Sebastian, I've been on top of everything hoping to God that everything goes according to plan."I think white orchids are too traditional." Sebastian sat comfortably in the video conference from what looked suspiciously like the balcony of a luxury penthouse overlooking Manhattan.I've decided that Sebastian Laurentis is impossible to work with."Weren't you in Boston yesterday?" I couldn't help but ask. I slap my hands across my mouth because this was a conference meeting."I was." he replies flatly like it was so normal, smiling with his eyes.Katherine's voice rings through the conference speaker, "Mr Laurentis has Mr Voss reviewed the updated proposal.""He has, every page."Did he review it himself, I think to myself."And." Katherine continues."Well, he made a few comments." a smile tugged at his lips, he looks at his notepad."Lighting should encourage conversations rather photographs."I nod my head concurring to it.He

    "You're thinking too hard." he offered."No, I'm working." I say little forcefully.He moves his head to the side, studying me intently."You know normal clients actually attend their own meetings." I say unable to keep my mouth shut any longer. But this only made him grin widely."Normal billionaires, yes." he remarks."Billionaires."He flashes me a charming smile."Sebastian"Cassie." he looks like his in good spirits."Anyways let's have lunch and discuss further, all these are boring, am I right?"I shake my head and chuckle, "You are impossible." I mutter."No, bella," he smiled "Impossible is my friend, Damian Voss.""Mr Voss is your friend." the name Damian seemed to make my heart skip beat."Mhm" he keeps smiling and giving me that 'I know something you don't know' look."You've spoken about him before, what's he like?" I ask without giving it a second thought.He seems all too glad to answer this, "He's very annoying.""But you seem fond of him." I pry."I tolerate him." he
