5 The reality of dreams ( 1 )
He sweated out his frustration on the treadmill , as a regular gym guy he had no problem in running at the fastest speed . With his strong built and dark aura he looked like a merciless king . People who had known him back in school would never believe this was the same shy teenager that hid in the library.
Ever since the strange and eye catching girl had collided with his master Robert watched him working like a maniac . Either Brad was full of extra energy or Robert was being punished for his words earlier. ' why'd I open my big mouth and tell the boss that he should get a wife like that beautiful angel who fell into his arms ' watching Bradlin change the speed to a higher one Robert watched on with dumbstruck silence.
Bradlin could not suffer in silence so he decided to do the best thing . He exhausted himself until his mind could no longer even process what was happening around him . Seeing his boss in a dizzy Robert rushed forward and turned the machine off as the other clients watched with fascination at the mind blowing masculine god structure in front of them faint in his assistant's hold .
As he slipped into deep sleep he could not stop wondering and thinking . ' Was it really her ? ' Unknowingly he mumbled it aloud while his assistant dragged him to his house .
In the depths of his dreams she taunted him by appearing just out of his reach . As he would near her she would teasingly take a step back . He would call out to her and run towards her perfect image as her sweet rosy scent would entrance his mind . With a wink she dissapeared leaving him all alone in the lonely street full of strangers with smiles and friends with masks .
Sunlight pierced his bedroom window as he squinted his eyes , opening them he sat up with a blurry mind . His first thought went back to that face again . ' It is her , I am sure . I cant let her know my identity ' Brad was still lost in his thoughts when Mrs. Kelly knocked on the door . Thinking her master was still sleeping she opened the door an inch to her amazement he was awake . She could not fathom the reason as to why her usually late and lazy boss would wake up so quickly .
" Master , youre awake early . Do you need anything ? "
She had been his housemaid since he was seven and had never seen Bradlin so agitated .
" Mrs. Kelly . You're here . Have you prepared breakfast yet ? "
Brad could not stop the iciness of his words but since he was in a bad mood she understood that she was to leave him alone and closed the door . Having seen him since he was a child she was very attached to him and was the only person who understood his mood swings . Sighing unhappily she went round her work and cleaned up the house and cooked his meal . She would have to persuade him to do something to make this lonely house seem more like a home .
Getting up from bed he walked into the shower cubicle with his clothes on and switched on the cold water . With the cold water numbing his senses he shook his head clear and went out . After a quick breakfast he got ready slowly dressing up for his first meeting in person as the founder of Elite Construction Industry . In his guidance it had started as a small company to the position of a gem in the developing industries .

Sandra slowly opened her eyes as her screeching alarm continued to annoy the hell out of her . With a crash sounding in the room the alarm finally shut . She tried to get up and stumbled on her way to the bathroom .
She had a lot to drink the previous night . After the victory of finally securing a job and the added happiness she had gotten from falling into someone she had drunk herself off her ass .
Luckily she had been with her best friend Tyanna Kenneth who dropped her off when she got too wild for the party . Knowing Sandra she had been sure she would hook up with another guy and leave her for his one night attention , so she never left her side and brought her back and dumped her in bed before another mistake happened .
Slowly walking into the washroom she discarded her clothes that still had the faint smell of the guy she'd collided into . ' well , i wonder if I'll see the god of absolute hotness and pride today ' and on that happy note she danced around her home before chugging down some soup and left for her first day in the big company of her dreams since four years .
Finally today she could start the plan for which shed waited half the years of her 21 years of life .
Ever since that night in the attic she had silently and cleverly schemed against the family that had brought her up . She had always believed that her family would stand up for her when she told them about what happened at her sisters birthday party . She had not thought that it was her own family that had sold her that night in return for a favor .
Following those events she uncovered the truth of her identity . She was a no one . Just at the age of three years she had been given up by her biological parents to these monsters in return for her safety and well being , all these years they had exploited her for the money . She had no idea who her parents were .
No one knew how she had arrived at the hospital the day her foster parents real son had died as the same age of Sandra . She had been a good and valuable replacement in their family .
At the age of eighteen she had already discovered the schemes of her family and ran away the day before her engagement to her fiance .
She had survived with a part time job as a librarian in the town until she had her degree . Leaving behind the monsters in the past she wanted to start a new life . Even in her sleep she would not forget the purpose of her survival , she believed in justice rightly delivered and she would have her revenge .
After hopeless searching in the dark Sandra gave up the dreams of ever uniting with her parents . Along the dark times she had smiled and never wavered even when her friend stabbed her in the back and took her scholarship she had remained strong like a lantern in the dark that would never fade away .
Entering the company campus she parked her second hand battered maserati in the underground parking lot . Taking deep breaths she got out and strode towards the building in a confident manner emitting a powerful aura from her .
Reaching the door she scanned her id card and got in , what greeted her was the stupified expression of the receptionist . ' Oh , so this witch was unwilling to stop being a pain in the *ss . Looks like shes asking to be put in her place ' Sandra stalked to the desk while Mellisa gave her a smirk and turned her back to her .
" Oh girl , you did not just ignore the new personal assistant of your manager . Did you sweetheart " Sandra covered her words with extra sweetness that sent chills down the demons spine .
" Good morning , Miss Sandra . I see you've got the job . Congratulations on your job accomplishment of an assistant ." Melissa turned gritting her teeth as she was determined to put her down for stealing her job .
Sandra had done her research and knew that Melissa had applied for her job but got a receptionist job instead so she played along .
" Thanks but I cannot accept your congrats since you were the one who had applied for the job first but since i got it now we cant change it . I wonder what was the difference between us , it cant be my higher level can it be Miss. Melissa ? " Rubbing her words in her face Sandra briskly walked away .
