His First And Last

"You are mine now". That was the conversation that began this unexpected journey. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined being with him. *** "Nadia, listen to me, you are going to have to do this for your family. You do know that if you don't go with them, I will be killed and soon after, they will kill your mother too". "And what about me huh? All this while, you have never thought of me. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm really your child. I..." "Enough!! You will go to him and that is it". I wanted to cry but I had already forgotten how to. I'm sure you must be guessing what is happening, well... My father is a gambler, and he has been living in debt for over four years now unfortunately, he borrowed money from the wrong people and now, he wants to sell me to their boss who is known to be ruthless, and monstrous.

Another complex?

Kanada and I spoke for a little more time before she left to get my dinner as I decided to eat in the room.

I slept pretty early that day and woke up very early the next day as I was ready to resume work.

"You are up and even ready to leave".

Kanada said as she came into my room.

"Yeah, I can't be late. I have to go, bye".

I said and quickly rushed out. Kanada smiled at the rushing Nadia.

When I got downstairs, I saw Jason eating on the dining table. I rushed towards him and bowed lightly.

"Good morning Sir".

Jason looked at the lady in front of him. He didn't expect that she'd get dressed for work but she was, proving him wrong.

"You don't have to go to work today".

He said but I shook my head in disagreement.

"I want to!!"

I said almost shouting which made Jason look at me in a shocked manner.

"You didn't have to be so loud".

He said and I smiled awkwardly.

"Hehehe, my apologies Sir".

"Sit and eat".

"Huh? I can't do that Sir".

I said which made him look at me yet again.

"Why"?

"Well, because you are my boss and I'm your employee. I can't eat at your dining table".

Jason didn't push it and I was grateful. I went outside to wait for him with his bodyguards. In a short while, he came out and we were on our way. Just like the other day, I sat in the front passenger's seat in the same car he was riding in.

"What's my first appointment for the day"?

"You have a board meeting by nine Sir. You will be meeting with investors and stakeholders to discuss the new construction site".

I saw him nod from the rearview mirror and it made me feel I conveyed the message properly.

Soon enough, we got to the office and headed straight to the boardroom. Everyone was already waiting for him and as soon as they saw him come in, they all stood up to show their respect.

I've never experienced something like this since I always worked underground and was not needed in such meetings but I have seen these scenes in movies and it always baffled me how a young man could command so much respect because of money.

When Jason sat, the rest of them sat as well. Miguel, Jason's personal bodyguard was kind enough to show me where I would be sitting. It was right behind Jason but there was a little bit of distance. There, I had a person small table in front of my chair and I assumed it was for taking notes.

I saw a lady and a man sitting behind the investors at their table and with the way they typed on their respective laptops, I could tell that they were taking minutes so I knew I didn't have to do that but, I needed to note every important information.

Jason was at the very extreme of the long table while there was a man at the other end of the very long table.

"Okay, we'll begin today's meeting with a recap of the last meeting minutes".

The lady who was writing minutes stood up and gave a brief but detailed recap on the last meeting after which the big people on the table began talking.

"Well Mr O'Brien, what are you going to do about the leakage in the company? I heard someone was giving information to our rivals at The New Mind's company".

One of the stakeholders asked and after he was done, I saw a sly smirk on his face. One of my eyebrows raised instinctively.

"Why are you talking about that now? We only need to talk about the site".

Another man said.

"You are right, the building is almost completed and if it's done, we'll have about a hundred and fifty apartments altogether. That's all we should be thinking about right now".

A woman said.

"So you are all okay with the fact that he is building another complex without our consent"?
