"You f*cking stop when I call you!" I yelled in anger pointing after he didn't stop.

He stopped and turn around with anger blazing from his eyes.

"Don't raise your voice at me!" He pointed moving closer.

"So your the only one who's suppose to yell! Your Mr Perry the big bad ass who isn't afraid of anyone or anything, yet everyone fear you, but I am not afraid of you and will never be!" I feel embarrassed that I called him back and he didn't stop. Does he think that I'll stoop and kiss his shoes? He's now standing in front of me, staring down in my eyes.

"I felt sorry for how I acted earlier, but not anymore. If you wanna leave you can go and if you don't wanna come back I don't give a damn".

"Ah".

He grabbed my shoulders tightening his grip. I turn my head away and tightly shut my eyes.

FLASHBACK

"Are you crazy!?. Are you!?. What kind of speech was that, huh!?". My eyes widen after his deep voice heavily vibrated my ear drums.

My heart is beating like a thousand drums. I've never seen him like this before.

PRESENT

This reminds me of the time five years ago when he got angry at me for saying something he didn't approve of. The only difference from five years ago to now is that I've seen worst of him than this.

I'm trying to pull from his grip but he wouldn't let me go.

"Let. . .me. . .go". Why did god made men stronger?

"Stop". He gripped tighter and immediately tears spring in my eyes. And I should've been stronger than this. I look up at him.

"M-Michael". I shakily said and inhale shakily through my mouth. I watched as the anger in his eyes and the seriousness fades, then he let hold from me. But suddenly his eyes went dark again.

"You don't give a damn huh? You act all tough and serious, but it doesn't frighten me. In my eyes your still a weak, fragile little girl". He said before walking off. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I sniff and watched as he walked away.

"That's exactly what you should do you selfish wicked prick. Walk out of my life, I'll be less miserable! Just to let you know, Lenoy and I f*ck*d last night in this same office. One more f*ck*ng thing to inform the council about". He stopped but didn't turn around.

I know that if the council finds out, my company will be shut down immediately, but I'm angry and didn't think before I said it.

He turned around walking closer. My heart beat increases. The Michael five years ago was different from this one. This one cannot be trusted. He's aggressive, selfish, insensitive. So truthfully, I'm a bit afraid.

"You prefer to f*ck your manager over your own company?" He said through gritted teeth.

"I do whatever I want". He exhale heavily through his nostrils.

"Very f*ck*ng well then". He said before walking off.

I sit shedding more tears after he left.

No more crying Akeilia. You've done enough just stop.

I wiped my face trying to remove the tears, but they keep coming.

I can't take this. I wanna be happy. Why didn't he stay out of my life? Everything was perfect before he came along.

* * *

"Honestly I'm tired of you complaining about him. The both of you need to do something about this".

"Can you please tell Leon to talk to him. After all he listens to no one but him".

"Yeah but he's fed up too. I don't know why you two are so damn stubborn for your own good".

"He's making me miserable Monique. He's the problem not me".

"It takes two fire to blaze extremely high K. Neither of you is trying to be the water, so the flame will keep rising".

"I tried".

"Not hard enough". When Monique cheated on Leon with Ken, I scolded her really bad even though Leon did the same, but he was drunk, so I believe that's the reason it ended up happening. This made me think though, if Michael had sex with someone five years ago before he came to the hospital drunk. I shouldn't even care. We weren't together then, so it really doesn't matter now. I couldn't even be with anyone then. I was hurt, destroyed and unhappy. He was the only one who made me happy, but now, he's my worst nightmare.

I sigh.

"Just let Leon talk to him".

"Here's Leon tell him". She sounds frustrated. She's pregnant and every time I called her it's something like this. I won't stress her out any longer.

"Akeilia". His deep voice vibrated my ear drum.

"Its been a while Leon". His end sound like he's setting properly.

"What's the problem?"

"Michael won't leave me alone. He's making me miserable and he won't stop. Can you please talk to him?" He sigh.

"Honestly you two are stupid".
"Leon". I heard Monique whispered.

"No Monique I'm tired of this with them. Its full time the both of you work things out Akeilia". Work things out? This only made me feel worst. All I want him to do is to talk to Michael and have him avoid me.

"Michael is very difficult to deal with".

"The both of you are. Look. . .". He sigh.

". . .I'm not asking you to be with him. I just want the both of you to at least be friends so my wife and I can have some peace".

"Leon don't say that". Monique whispered again. I'm not upset with him. Its not like its the first I'm hearing that from him, sometimes worst.

"Ok Madam?"

"I heard you".

"Good talk back to Monique. Tired of this, five damn years".

"Don't listen to him K".

"Its ok Monique. All I want is peace that's it".

"Ok later then". I hung up and lay down.

I need to sleep this off, but I can't. I need to get home.

I walk back into my office and gathered my things and left.

"Madam I thought you left already". Lenoy said and a smile came across my face.

"I was just chilling in the bar. Everything ok?". He nod walking with me towards the elevator. That reminds me.

"Lenoy? You. . .um". He look at me with curiosity.

"You haven't said anything about what happened last night". He look away from me.

"What about last night?" What does he mean?

"In the office bar? No clue?" Everyone except for few had gone home.

He pressed the button to open the elevator, once it open he allowed me to go in first.

"I thought you wouldn't remember that". I frown. He pressed the button for the first floor, then the elevator door closed.

"You didn't want me to remember?"

"No because the last time I checked you told me that you don't want anything to do with me".

"That's not what I said".

"Well that's what I heard".

"No that's how you interpreted it. Are you trying to argue with me?"

"No just upset".

"Why?"

"Because of what you told me after I admitted my feelings to you".

"I. . .you know what, let's just forget about this".

"There shouldn't be any reason for you to hold back on me". I heard him mumbled.

"What was that?"

"I said you love Michael". Where did that came from?

"You told me nothing happened between you two, but I don't believe that. Why would the guy hate me so much?" Is he joking or something? No he looks serious.

The elevator door opened.

"See you tomorrow". I said before I stepped out.

"F*ck". I heard him say.

I already have Michael sh*t to deal with and I don't want another.
