What is love?

Mom, tell him to stop! Shut up girl, who told you that you can talk to me? her mother said,do our weak little pup want to suffer? Said her father. "I think so," her mother said. Riley's father approached her like prey and started beating her. The more she screamed, the more pain she felt, until she passed out very quickly Five years have passed since that day. When Riley woke up, she felt that she had enough and ran away. Now she and her cat live in a small apartment in New York.

(Beep Beep Beep) What time is it? Riley said, then jumped out of bed and noticed it was 7:30 in the morning.No, no, no, I'm late for my interview. After running around her apartment and getting ready, she ran out of her house to hail a taxi. She soon came to Knights Corp, the world's most successful company that owns hotels, restaurants, and even resorts in the Caribbean. The company is led by the young CEO Xavier Knight, who is known in the business world for his arrogance and cruel competitive nature.

Riley was surprised by the size of the waiting room,she was told to sit and wait there until she called. Looking around found that the women in the waiting room were all wearing short skirts and revealing tops. Other employees felt that the company was more like a fashion show than a business place. Riley Simmons, Miss Riley Simmom, yes,yes that's me. Mr.Knight will see you now please come with me. Riley stood up and started following the woman who is said to be Emily which is stated on the nameplate on her neck. They came to a black door, and she was instructed to enter. As soon as she entered the room, she noticed the dark walls were matched with red and black furniture. there was no sunlight within the room. Soon her eyes fell on the figure in front of her, because of the light in the room she was able to see his face. He has a chiseled face and dark eyes, and his hair hangs aimlessly on his forehead. "Do you want me to give you more time to admire me Mrs Simmons" Mr. Knight looked at her and said. " No Sir" Riley said blushing at the fact that she was caught staring at her maybe soon to be boss.

"Would you like an invitation to sit down?" Mr. Knight said, he watch how she began to move slowly towards the chair in front of him.For some reason he couldn't take his eyes off of her, something about this woman was drawing him to her, he felt like he just wanted to get closer to her. As she sat across from him he began to study her appearance, He watched how her curly black hair fell on her shoulders and how she was different from other women, she was dressed formally for this interview unlike the other women he had interviewed. After studying her a little longer than he expected he continued. "So, Ms.Simmons what position are you applying for?" he asked "Well sir, I'm applying for the secretary position" she replied. "Well are you willing to be my personal assistant" Knight said which suprised both him and her. "Well sir, I'm flattered but I think one of the ladies in the waiting room is better suited for that position" Riley knew that he was her mate but she also knew that he was a vampire and that they couldn't be with one another, She also refused to be trapped in a loveless environment once again. "I don't care about those women Ms.Simmons, I refuse to allow women who portray themselves as sluts to attend business meetings alongside me. You are the only person who was able to look respectable in my eyes".He looked into her eyes as he said these things to her, she began to feel happy upon hearing him say that, while her wolf Leah was howling with joy. He soon continued "I will also pay you $20,000 a month, and an apartment will be provided as a bonus, which is more than the income of an ordinary secretary. So what will it be Ms.Simmons?" Riley knew she was making a big mistake, but the mate bond was messing with her, and her wolf was being a nag, so she did the only thing she could do, she said Yes.
