13 CHAPTER 13

"I'm home." Sofia shouted as she entered her house, only to release a loud shriek when she took in the scene before her.

"The hell!!! " she cursed as she saw Lavanya trying to get out through their narrow window by the use of a stool.

Lavanya had not been prepared at all to hear Sofia's voice as she lost her balance and fell with a loud thud.

This brought the attention of the rest who were in the kitchen a well as Diego's who had gone park the car and was not too far away from the house.

"Oh my God." Maria gasped as she hurried towards the poor child who was grimacing in pain to check for any injuries while Irina and her mother, Ember stood there shocked.

"Dios mio niña. Were you trying to get out through the window?" Ember said as she saw the small wooden chair had toppled over.

Lavanya gave her a sheepish look.

Sofia gave Lavanya a knowing gaze and strolled to where she was now sitting with Aunt Maria examining her waist.

"Can you all please leave us for some time, I'd like to speak with the girl " Her family members gave her uncertain looks before walking back to the kitchen, eventually.

"Lavanya, I already told you , you have nothing to fear here. No one's going to hurt you " Sofia said taking Lavanya's cold hand in her's.

"Sorry, dear. But- but- Can you blame me?" Lavanya said suddenly tearing up.

"Awww, honey. Me, never. What you went through was horrible and I wouldn't wish it for my worst enemy "

"-but " Sofia continued while taking Lavanya's face in her hands. "Here, I can assure you no one's going to hurt you. I'm gonna make sure of it."

Lavanya was tempted to believe Sofia due to the sincerity of her gaze but then again, it's those same gazes from a man she loved that brought her to her demise.

"Give me time, please " Lavanya finally said.

Sofia pitied the poor girl. She had spilled her whole story during her panic attack just after she saved her from Alfonso.

"Only if you promise not to try and jump through the window next time."

At this, Lavanya smiled. "Ok."

"Time for dinner. " Sofia shouted.

****

Strip

"W-what?"

"You heard me well , I suppose. Or don't you know the meaning of that word. It means-"

"Wait, wait, wait sir. " Anna said raising her hand to cut him off.

"Who do you think I am? Your puppet or something. I will go pack my things this instant and leave the premises. You won't ever have to see me again. Good bye sir."

With that, she walked towards the door with her head held high leaving a stunned CEO behind. She was no slut.

Just as she was about to press the elevator button, it dinged open revealing a gorgeous blonde with light brown eyes. She had a lot of make up on and she wore a tight burgundy dress that showed off her curves a little too much, according to Anna and finally, she wore a black pair of stilettos.

"Who are you ?" The woman asked sizing Anna up.

"Ah, Erin, you are finally here." She heard her boss' voice behind her.

"Oh honey. How I missed you." the woman, Erin said with an overly sweet voice that made Anna cringe internally, and rushed over to him hugging him and clinging onto him like a leech.

"Darling who is she?" Erin asked looking at Anna in disgust.

"Oh, her, no one important. Actually, she was about to go rest in her room , right Ms Locke."

"Uh, oh. Yeah. See you later sir." Anna said ignoring the stabbing feeling in her chest and moved into the elevator.

The last thing she saw was her boss kissing the girl, while staring at her.

She huffed a breath.

Bastard. He even has a girlfriend. Anyway, they merit each other. Idiots as they are. God, forgive me for bad mouthing people in their absence.

The only good thing was, she got to conserve her job.

For now.

Thank God.

As Sofia later in bed she smiled thinking of a certain blue eyed man, her boyfriend.

She giggled, thinking about their encounter with Vivian earlier.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?"

They both turned to find Vivian, clad in her usual skimpy gowns and makeup caked face glaring at them.

"Sorry miss, but I was just having a private moment with my woman."

Sofia internally gushed and got all mushy on the inside, still thankful Aaron was holding her.

Vivian looked stunned for a moment before quickly gaining her composure and resumed her glaring, this one directed particularly to the other woman in the hall.

"You do know there is a rule against employees flirting right?"

"Yes ma'am. I also know we are out of work hours so we can do whatever we want without anyone's consent " Aaron shot back annoyed already at the woman's presence.

He just wanted some alone time with his woman for God's sake.

Wait. His woman...

HIS WOMAN....

The hell... He just planned on getting her on his bed and that's all. No attachments.

'Really?' his subconscious mocked.

Vivian's screech brought him out of his internal battle.

Was that supposed to be a purr?

"But baby, what do you find in that that I don't have" She said pointing towards his Sofia while trying to sound seductive and moving around as if trying to show her point.

Sofia scowled in response and before she could respond , Aaron kissed her fully on the lips.

The kiss was a toe-curling kiss that set her on fire.

It was like the world suddenly disappeared and it was only them at that moment.

She heard a distant screech, like it was coming from a different planet, followed by the sound of heels thumping away.

Aaron pulled away to catch his breath and mostly to prevent his control from slipping.

Then the woman smiled, a genuine smile and he felt like a superhero or some shit like that.

He made his woman smile and that made him smile too.

There we go again 'His woman' . He sighed tiredly.

He would spend another night yet again, with a headache and a boner.

Unknown POV

"What do you mean by 'She dissappeared' " I bellowed at my men in a harsh tone.

"S-s-sir we f-fou-nd her absent y-y-yes-terday m-morning when w-we w-were doing rounds " One of them squeaked in a small voice.

"WHAT? YESTERDAY? AND YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL ME?" I growled angrily.

"S-s-orry sir" the same man from before squeaked and before he even had the chance of registering my actions, I had a bullet planted in the middle of his head.

The others paled significantly but I don't give a fuck. I ordered my guards to tie them up in my torture room as I'll deal with them later.

As well as the person that helped her escape because I'm so damn sure she couldn't have done it alone...

I called Toby, my best tracker to track her down.

For now, I have to find my cookie and I have to do it fast. Most clients came to see her and payed insanely high amounts for a night with her.

And I couldn't blame them! That girl has one hell of a body. I can't wait to have her back in my bed again.

My cookie!!!
