I jumped up from my bed with cold sweat washing over my body.

I cursed at myself mentally. How could I dream about him in such a inappropriate way?

He's my boss's brother, My kidnappers brother!

It made me feel dirty and sluty just thinking about it. I'm such an awful person to be dreaming of someone in such a way.

Shaking the disgusting thought out of my head, I sighed and dragged myself to the edge of the bed taking my phone up from the bed side table

Upon checking my messages I saw a broadcast message that was sent by Justin.

" Meeting at 12 pm be there "

It says

It was 11:30 when I saw that message and I could tell this day would be a very bad one .

It made no sense to Rush, I slowly walked towards the bathroom and got in the shower.

Since it was Saturday and originally my day off I decided to wear something comfortable

And by comfortable I mean a flower pattern dress and white flip flops.

I didn't even bring a purse , I only took up my phone and car keys and made my way down to the parking garage

It was 1 pm at this time.

I can already imagine the scolding I am going to get from Justin when he sees how late I am

" Where's your brother?" Justin whispered over to me as two of our workers walked in the conference room"

" He wasn't home when I checked in on him earlier " I responded opening the brief case I had and taking out some documents

Justin only nods and continued what he was doing.

This meeting should have started an hour ago, but since Alexander wasn't here nothing could take place.

Even when I tried calling him it went straight to voicemail.

I looked around the room and saw everybody except for Elizabeth.

My heat flet heavy

Maybe I scared her into hiding. She looked puzzeld by my actions and I feel horrible about reveling them to her.

I should have listened to my therapist and kept my true identity from her. Maybe I wouldn't be feeling so uneasy right now.

" Okay" Justin stood up and checked his watch " we can't wait any longer so as requested the minutes of this meeting will be recorded and transferd to Mr A.Costllo since he might not make it" he continued

The place went quiet as soon as Justin turned on the projector.

He was about to start his announcement when Elizabeth came through the door.

Our eyes met as soon as she stepped in .

I smiled in my head. She looked comfortable, she was the only one in such bright colors in the room

" You're late" Justin voice interrupted my happy thoughts

Elizabeth opened her mouth to say something when Alexander walked in behind her with his hand in his pockets

" And now I can see why she's late" I heard Justin mummble softly sucking his teeth at the end

The smile that I had in my head fell and I tensed my jaw.

I was so stupid to think  so little about Alex disappearance. Of course he would of been with her.

Manning up I got up from my cahir and cleared my throat looking down at the employee with a glare.

" Where are your fucking manners ? " I snapped at them " stand the fuck up and great your boss properly " I commanded

everyone quickly shot up from their seat and held their heads  down saying " good day Mr Costello" at the same time 

Alexander nods and walked over to me where there was a cahir  saved from him.

He sat down and didn't even gaze at Justin who was standing there looking at him

I immediately knew that they fought.

That must be the reason why he didn't give me an ear full after hearing that I was with Elizabeth yesterday. 

Everyone including Elizabeth took back there seat and all eyes where focusing on Justin who was standing

He cleared his throat and turned his face away from us. His eyes were filled with tears and everyone saw.

Whispers started going around when Justin broke in

" My mother is is in hospital. She's unresponsive and I'm going through alot right now" he admitted

I quickly took some tissue from a box and gave it to him.

Even tho I hated his guts, I didn't want him to cry.

He was standing over me and his tears might fall on my jacket and mess up my suit.

" Besides the point" he made a fake laugh rubbing his nose " I have some important information to share as it relates to this firm"

Justin voice cracked and a tear fell from his eyes.

Something tells me he wasn't crying because of his mother's condition

He was clearly crying because of Elizabeth walking in with Alex

He turned around once more and  apologized to the staff. Looking over at Alexander he scoffed folding his arms

I then stood up and told Justin to have a seat.

" Apologies" I smiled.

Even tho these people where nothing but low lives to me and didn't even deserve my sincerity, I still thought it would be better since no one was suppose to come in to work today

" As Justin  said , we have news to be shared about this firm. Starting off with" I puased skipping the PowerPoint that was presented on the projector

" Firin half of you" I continued

Everyone eyes widen and whispers started circulating

" It was a tough decision to make but recently some very important documents has been leaked hence the cause of Justin's mother being in the hospital"

" Secondly " I exhaled skipping the PowerPoint again " I would like introduce you all to someone who will be a guest in our firm  as of Monday"

Looking over to Josh he got up from his chair and opend the door reviling Pablo

Justin then started to choke causing eyes to motion over to him

" Excuse me" he cough once more getting up his chair and walking out of the room

Pablo smirked

" Hello everyone" he greeted looking over at Alexander

Everyone got up and gretted Pablo in sync

After the introduction was done I continued with the rest of the presentation.

"As of Monday, you all will be seeing Pablo. He will be watching all of you very closely just to see how you work" I smiled " His report will determine whether or not you will be apart of the half who will be getting fired" I continued

I then turned off the projector and looked at everyone " you're dismissed" I said

They all packed up and started to leave.

As I watch them leave I looked over to Elizabeth to see that she was already looking at me

She immediately looked away when she saw me look at her, and for some reason my heart rate accelerated.

She looked at me ! I felt happy that she did.

Maybe she was thinking about what happened or maybe she actually felt a connection between us.

Whatever it was felt good. It felt good because she looked at me first.

She was thinking of me first.

I couldn't stop looking at him. I felt guilty because of that dream I had about him

He called me mommy!

I was his mommy, and that felt good to me .

Was I pervert to be dreaming about him like that?

When he saw that I was looking at him my heat skiped a beat. I immediately looked away and started to pack my things

I could still feel his eye watching me but I didn't looked back at him

Instead I got up from my seat and walked out the conference room

My phone started buzzing, it was a call from Demetri.

About to answer the Pablo guy from the meeting earlier walked up to me taking my phone

I looked at him confused and stretching towards my phone from his hand, but he pulled it away giving me a smile

He looked at the caller ID and raised his eye brow looking down at me with a smirk

" Demetri" he sounded with a thick Italian accent " who is this?"

I scoffed in my head , who the hell does he think he is asking me such personal questions

About to answer Alexander walked up taking my phone from him

" Stop fucking with my employees" he gritted at Pablo passing my phone back to me

" Tha-"

" Save it" he broke into my act of gratitude towards him

" How mean of you" Pablo scoffed " she was about to say thank you"

The look that Pablo was giving Alexander was weird. It looked sexual, plus the tension around them was thick

" Non guardarmi così, cazzo" Alexander said leaning closer to Pablo's ears.

Don't fucking look at me like that" 

I couldn't understand what he was saying but Pablo smirked

"Non posso farci niente, sembri sexy mentre difendi questa vita bassa"

I can't help it, you look sexy defending this low life"

He repiled in the same foreign language

What he said caused Alexander to laugh a little , he then pulled away from Pablo and looked at me

"Guardala, ti sembra una vita bassa?"

Look at her, does she look like a low life to you?"

I thought he was talking to me but Pablo looked at me and folded his arms smiling

"Hm, vedendo come la difendi, presumo che stiate scopando entrambi"

"Hm, Seeing how you defend her I assume you both are fucking"

Alexander laughed again but his eyes where still focused on me,

I swallowed and held my head down, I felt like I had no right to look at him for some reason, like he was a snake and I was a mouse.

"Dovresti guardare come parli di lei"

"You should watch how you speak about her"

"Perché? Hai intenzione di uccidermi se non lo faccio?"Pablo smirked

"Why? Are you going to kill me if I don't? " Pablo smirked

" Nō"

I then flet a hand under my chin, it pushed my head up and I saw Alexander looking down at me clenching his jaw

It felt  nice to have him touch me again. I felt safe and loved when his hands are on me, but at the same time, I get a sense that he would only break my heart again if I let him in.

My eyes motioned to Pablo and he rolled his eyes at me and looked over to Alex who was still focused one me

" She'll be the one to kill you" he spoke  to Pablo in full blown English and my eyes widen

" W-what" I stuttered moving my face from his hand

Alexander smiled at me and Pablo scoffed at Alexander's statement

Massimo then walked over to us and he folded his arm looking at Alexander

" It's rude to talk about people in front of their faces " he scoffed.

He then looked at me " leave" he commanded

Nodding slowly, I walked off and headed straight for the elevator. 

Massimo sounded powerful again, like he was on top of me, yet he was begging me yesterday.

His actions confuses me the more I think bout them.

Which one is he? Is he the soft Massimo or the hard Massimo?

" You look tense" a voice came over my thoughts giving me a shock

I was thinking so deeply that I didn't even realize that I was already in the parking lot

" How did you know I was here"  I asked seeing Demetri at my car with his hand in his pocket

" Are you avoiding me?" He asked  ignoring my question

" Pff,w-why would I?"

" Well for one" he sighed walking over to me " you keep ignoring my calls" he whispered looking down at me

" It wasn't intentional, I'm just busy"

" Okay" he smiled

Did he really just forgave me that easily?

" Are you still busy?" He continued taking his hand out his pockets and tucking a strand of hair behind my ears

" No"

" Then have dinner with me, my treat "  he smiled

" Sure" I smiled back at him

His face looked surprised that I said yes,  yet he went along with the idea.

I shouldn't push him away when he has done nothing to me, he nice and he doesn't treat me like the Costello brothers so maybe he's the right one, maybe he's my soulmate.
