Passion and Compassion

Roman's P-O-V

It's going to be an unexpected night. After having an hour of rough and dominating sex with Lisa and doing an irrational misdeed out of my horny mischief, I laid on the bed wondering things. Just as I thought, slumber was going to catch me, my phone beeped.

It was a message from Seth.

Seth: Just landed in the airport. Got to share something with you.

Wow! I almost forgot, Seth was about to arrive tonight.

And what does he have to share? Anything related to the company or something personal?!

I got up from the bed slightly excited about what Seth was going to say. I hope it's something good and enlightening.

Well, I think I should pick him up.

Roman: Send your driver off. I'm coming to pick you up. Can't wait to hear you.

Seth: Fine. I can't hold the excitement yet.

I dressed into a grey V-neck full sleeved T-shirt with a pair of jeans. I drove my way to the airport, which of course was at a distance of 15 minutes from my place.

I reached the airport lobby and there was Seth, Alexa with him.

Both of them smiled and waved at me. I smiled too.

Seth walked towards me.

'Hey man! Good to see you pick up.' Seth said with delight and we bro-hugged.

'Hello Roman!' Alexa said with a smile we hugged.

What I realized was, these two were smiling too much beyond my expectation! Are they that happy to return?

'So, both of you look pretty happy! Did anything happen?' I couldn't stop to say.

Seth smiled again. 'No man. It's just I'm so happy to see you.' he said.

'Yeah. We just saw you after many days.' Alexa said with a bright smile.

Wait! Did she just say We? Is she talking for both her and Seth? One rare thing considering their sour relations. But, hey! Now they looked at each other and smiled. Ugh! I'm confused.

'Yeah, she's right.' Seth said.

I nodded.

'mhmmm..I got it. So, Alexa, how would you go now?' I asked being a responsible boss.

Obviously, Seth is going with me like 'boys hang out' and I have to book something for her too.

'Don't worry! I'll get a cab.' Alexa said smiling. I was about to call one for her myself but...

'Are you kidding me? You're gonna call a cab!' Seth said to Alexa. 'C'mon! Roman's got a car for us. You can always tag along.' he said.

Excuse me! What's going on?

'It's okay Seth. The cabs are easily accessible from here.' she said to him.

Wait! Seth! Since when she started calling him..

'No Alexa. I don't trust the cab drivers at this time of the time. You are joining us and that's final.' Seth said in an authoritative tone as if he was her guardian.

But, did he call her Alexa?

'Hey Roman, tell her, will you?' "Seth nudged me.

Oh man!

'Yeah, sure. Alexa. You can join us. We'll drop you on the way.' I said.

Alexa looked at Seth and then at me.

'ehm.. Okay. If you insist.' she said.

We headed towards my car.

I chose to drive. Seth took the passenger's seat and Alexa sat at the back.

'So, it seems you guys had a great time in Davenport!' I said as I drove.

'Yeah, man. Hometown is always great.' Seth said. I chuckled.

I too love getting to the islands.

'In fact, I loved it too. Especially with the Rollins family and their special Malaysian Chow Mein.' Alexa said giggling as Seth looked at her with a smile.

Well, she seemed like getting quite along with Seth and his family. Wow!

'..and staying under the same roof with those crazy ass people.' Seth teased Alexa.

Wait! She stayed in his house!

Oops! Concentrate on the drive Roman.

'Not at all Seth. I loved your whole family, Mr. Rollins, Jennie, Manie, Louka and if we combine all their craziness, they would still be a little less crazier than you.' Alexa said pouting while Seth just shook his head playfully, still eyeing her with a smile.

Somebody kill me before I die in shock.

Before going further, Alexa's house came. A lesser chance of dying in shock.

'Bye Seth. Bye Roman. Thanks for the ride.' Alexa said smiling after she got down from the car.

'Yeah bye.' I said. She was about to turn but..

'Good bye Alexa. Are you coming tomorrow?' Seth asked.

'Yeah. You?' she asked.

'Of course.' Seth said with a big smile.

'Are you done?' I asked tired. Seth nodded.

I sighed starting the car.

Seth was smiling for no reason and shook his head mumbling 'this is crazy' to himself.

I gave him a stern look. Yes, he is going crazy.

He contained his expressions look and cleared his throat.

'So, what was that you wanted to share?' I asked driving the car. There must be something fishy.

Seth looked at me and sighed.

'Many things.' he said.

'All right, so how do we begin?' I asked with a curious smile.

'Well.. It's just that..' he started and my phone rang.

I turned the bluetooth on.

Unknown: Mr. Reigns.

Roman: Yeah. Hello. Who's this?

Unknown: Mr. Reigns, I'm Todd from JR Department. A staff of ours just tried to commit suicide in her quarter.

Roman: What? Who?

I held the brakes and parked the car at the side.

Todd: Yeah. Rebecca Lynch from the Event Management Section. She has taken excessive sleeping pills. The doctors asked to file a case and investigate first. Would you please come to the staff quarters Sir?

Roman: Oh my God! Wait! I'm coming with Seth.

(Disconnected)

'Who was that?' Seth asked concerned.

'Todd from JR Department. Becky Lynch has taken excessive sleeping pills to kill herself. The docs aren't treating her unless the case is investigated. We need to go there.' I said starting the car and taking a sharp left turn.

'Oh no! Becky! But, why did he try to kill herself? He seems such a nice girl!' Seth said surprised.

'I guess we are to go and find out.' I said driving the car fast.

******

Me and Seth paced around the room next to where Becky was treated. The doctors knew us and they agreed to do away with the legal formalities. Becky had consumed too many high powered Benzodiazepines and her nervous system was beyond inactive. There were multiple damage to the brain receptors due to the high percentage of Xenex in her blood. Right now, the doctors were pumping her stomach for the purpose of decontamination.

There was a little time for taking her to the hospital. So, we brought the doctors here.

'You think she can get over this?' Seth asked anxious.

I shook my head.

'I don't know Seth. It was already too late when her neighbors discovered her. So, the ABC treatment was already gone for late. Even the oxygen tract was irresponsive.' I said.

Seth nodded and sat down on the sofa.

'Poor girl! Who knows why she had to do that.' he said. 'She was always joyous when I saw her in the cafeteria.'

'Yeah. That even surprised me.' I added. 'By the way, you think, we should call any of our female staff. She might feel a little comfortable.' I suggested.

'Yeah. That'd be wise. She'd need a friendly counseling when she's up.' Seth said.

'mhmm...Let's call Alexa.' I said taking out my phone but Seth stopped me.

'No. Don't get me wrong but Alexa must be tired. I mean, she just reached home after so long plus she still needs to heal.' Seth said.

He has got a point there. I nodded.

'Hey! Why don't you call Bayley?' Seth said suddenly making me jump a little.

Fuck! I can't do that. Not after what I did few hours ago.

Well, I was having fun with Lisa as our bodies craved for each other roughly. Soon, we were both into the edges when my eyes fell on her.

Fuck! No. I can't be imagining Bayley on every woman I sleep with. A sort of dissatisfaction filled me. I wanted Bayley..too much,under me,screaming my name, taking me in her mouth, spreading her legs apart for me. As Lisa left, I found myself hard again as the image of Bayley came to my mind. But, she must be with that crappie looser Sami right now. Ugh!

I went crazy and did the craziest thing a boss could ever do to his assistant. I took my phone and out of an uncontrollable temptation messaged Bayley.

Roman: Send nudes

Within a minute, I realized that I completely fucked up. Gosh! She saw the message and didn't reply.

I know she must be thinking of me as a creep right now. I don't regret though. If not the pics, I would get her nude anyway.

'Hey Ro! Call Bayley.' Seth nudged me.

Like she would ever receive my call now!

'ahhh..Seth,why don't you call her. I'm running out of battery.' I lied.

Seth nodded and picked his phone to call Bayley.

*****

'Mr. Reigns, Mr. Rollins! Miss Lynch had been successfully decontaminated.' the doctor said. 'We have given her the antidote and the nurses are performing the ABC. It's a good news that she is responding. We hope she'll be back to senses in 20 minutes.' he informed with a smile.

'Wow! Thank you doctor!' Seth said delighted.

'You're most welcome Mr. Rollins! But, by the number of pills she took, I'm sure Miss Lynch must have been depressed for some reason. So, I would prescribe her to get some psychiatric counseling to get over it and a lot of happy hours.' the doctor said.

I nodded.

'We'll do our best doctor.' I said and signed him a cheque on behalf of the company.

'Thank you.' the doc said. Seth accompanied him outside.

*********

Me and Seth rushed inside the room when we heard Becky was back to senses.

As we entered, we saw her on saline supplements, moving her limbs restlessly.

'She's breathing.' Seth said. I even saw her lips trembling.

'I.. I waan to sleeeep.' I heard a faint sound in Irish accent.

Me and Seth looked at each other and frowned our eyes. Is she talking?

'I want to sleep foreeever. He.. He is with her.' she mumbled. 'Heee lovvvs her..' she said. I saw tears escaping the corners of her eyes.

Well, that sounded familiar! I remembered the night one of my intoxicated friend barged into my house saying stuffs like that but...

Seriously! This girl wanted to die because the guy she loved, loved someone else! How stupid! Love is stupid!

'It's a case of heartbreak.' I heard Seth say as he placed his hand in my shoulder.

I gave him a wtf look.

'I guess she loved someone so very much and the guy either cheated on her or just used her up.' Seth said.

She was muttering again. 'I love you. I love you D.....urhgh..' she coughed out. I guess it's the decontamination.

Her voice seemed choked as she coughed.

The nurse held her from back and lifted her slightly. Becky opened her eyes.

She was blinking too much. I guess there was a problem in her vision.

But, I felt her froze as she saw us.

'Mr. Rollins! Mr. Reigns!' she sat up. We walked her and sat beside her on her either sides.

'Relax!' Seth said rubbing her back.

She nodded though uncomfortably.

'Oh my! You came to my house for the first time.' she sat. 'And I couldn't even give you guys a healthy reception.' Becky said restlessly looking around at me and Seth.

What is she talking? I've had enough.

'Shut up Becky! You think that's a joke?' I blurted. Becky looked at me surprised and scared.

'Mr. Reigns..I.' she tried but I cut her off.

'You know suicide is a crime both in the eyes of law and church?' I asked annoyed.

'Yeah Becky! I thought you'd be sensible enough to deal with your problems but you tried to escape them this way. This is cowardice girl.' Seth said.

Becky blinked looking at us sheepishly. She was tearing up.

'With all due respect, I guess you have no idea what went through me and my life.' Becky said looking down as tears rolled down her eyes.

Me and Seth looked at each other and sighed.

'So, you decided to end your life for a jerk who don't seem to value your existence.' Seth said in an annoyed voice. 'You know how you are degrading yourself in your own eyes.' he blurted.

I saw Becky slightly startled and her expressions seemed to be worried too.

'Look, we heard you saying stuffs while you weren't conscious.' I informed. 'And I don't know what the guy did to you but..that's not even half   a reason to kill yourself this way. I mean you've got people fighting with bigger problems like extreme poverty and terrorism attacks.' I said.

Becky shook her head. 'You don't understand how it feels Sir.' she said sharply.

I was really pissed now.

'I don't understand what your guy did to you and quite honestly, I don't even want to. You talk about heartbreak, what did he even do? Did you have to remember him take promising vows with you and cheating on you with your side kick? No. You didn't.' I shouted.

Becky jumped a little.

'That's right Becky. You are really lucky.' Seth said. 'There are guys and girls victimized to porn graphic exhibition by their partners, I guess you didn't have to face that either. You should be happy with your life girl.' Seth said.

Becky looked at me and then Seth. All three of us were silent.

'Becky!' I heard a familiar call from outside as Bayley rushed inside the room. She looked really worried.

'Oh my God! Look what have you done to yourself!' Bayley screamed as she saw the supplements on her bed.

I didn't lock eyes with her. As expected, she went over to Seth's side and took her seat there.

Becky's tears increased their pace as she sobbed hard as she saw Bayley. Girl connection, I guess.

Bayley hugged her tight and then, released her suddenly.

'I hate you Becks.' she said getting emotional. 'How could you do this to yourself?' she asked authoritatively.

Becky wiped her tears and tried to say something but Bayley cut her off.

'No. Don't say a thing. I don't know what happened to you or what went through your mind when you did that but let me tell you one thing Becks..' she said.

'Your life is precious, really precious and you have no right to end this healthy life this way. Do you even know how people struggle for life? They have plans, they have money, they have high dreams but they don't have enough time with them. They aren't as lucky as you to manipulate your life every way they like Becks.' Bayley said angrily with a shaken voice.

I was kind of startled by what she was saying. I've never seen Bayley this way.

Seth wrapped an arm over Bayley and patted her back.

'Yeah, you should know this, alright.' Seth said.

Becky looked at Bayley. Perhaps, she too was confused with how Bayley acted.

'I.. I'm sorry, I blasted this way.' Bayley said with a smile over her tears.

'It's just that you should love what you have Becks. You've got a beautiful family at Dublin who lives you, you've got your friends and well wishers in the Shield. You are really lucky.' she said holding Becky's hands.

'I.. I'm sorry too Bayley. I know I was being stupid and I'm so sorry I dragged you all into this.' Becky said. 'It's just so embarrassing.' she said looking particularly at me and Seth.

We chuckled.

'Not a problem lass. And that guy was just being an asshole. If I were you, I would have ended every association with that jerk.' I said with a smile.

'Yeah and I would have thought he was the most worthless piece of shit in this world.' Seth added.

I felt Becky choke a little on our comments.

Why? Was there anything wrong?

'Yeah. I actually think it would've been better if Dean was around. He can make even the dead smile.' Bayley said.

'Yeah, right.' I said. Bayley gave me a glance as I agreed but looked away immediately. But, surprisingly, Becky just looked down without any expression.

'Yeah. I should call him now.' Seth said.

'No.' Becky blurted out loud suddenly, surprising all of us.

She saw our faces and cleared her throat. 'I mean it's 2 and he must be sleeping. Let's not disturb him.' Becky said looking down.

****

Finally, after a lot of trials we were successful in making Becky smile. It was 5 and we thought we needed a little rest back home. Bayley wanted to stay though.

'..and call us anytime if you need something.' I said to Becky since she had no one of her own in the city.

'Thanks you Mr. Reigns and Mr. Rollins.' Becky said.

Seth saved our numbers in her contact. 'There. Feel free to call us. Moreover, Bayley is there with you today. So, we don't worry.' Seth said.

Fuck! Does that mean, Bayley is going to miss the office today?

Ugh! Why am I missing her already? Ugh! The sexual attraction!

'Ahh.. Okay then. We'll see you around.' I said true to leave. Seth too did the same.

Becky nodded.

'Mr. Reigns!' I heard Bayley's voice making me turn towards her.

'Yes, Miss Martinez!' I replied equally formal to her tone.

'I won't be coming today.' she said pretty sharply, reflecting her annoyance on me.

Yeah baby, but you'll come badly and madly very soon.

'Okay. Fine.' I said leaving with Seth.

*********

The day was as boring as hell! Seth was back but Dean was still absent. I called him but Miss Young received his phone. What is he actually doing there at her place?

She said he was in the shower. I disconnected immediately. A feeling of disgust filled me from inside. Not only was Dean fucking one of our clients, but he was staying at her place for two straight days! If he was dating her, he could've told us. But, the guy always said he didn't believe in love!

Confusing!

The recruited assistants were about to make their first presence today. Randy said he was going to deal with their formalities. But, the main issue was we had an important two days seminar on Youth and Corporate Dreams tomorrow and day after tomorrow. How could I even forget that?

Moreover, Bayley was absent and I had to do things all on my own. Damn! That girl was being so essential these days!

****

The office hours were over. I texted Dean to call me only if he was free. His new assistant was here and he can't just do whatever he wants by missing office this way.

After a frustrated day, I really needed some fun or some rough action. I would have asked Dean to get to the club with me if he would have called but he didn't. I shrugged it off. Anyway, he wouldn't have joined us either. He doesn't seem like a club and pick guy anymore.

So, that's left to me and Seth. I went to Seth's room to see him and Alexa talking about something and laughing.

I rubbed my eyes to see if I was wrong but no, I was right.

They stopped as they saw me. Alexa gave me a smile and walked away.

'It seems you guys are really getting along a lot!' I said to Seth with a teasing smile.

Seth scoffed. 'Yeah. Anything for work.' he said countering me.

'So, I guess you have become a bigger workaholic than me, huh?' I asked Seth referring to him still sitting in his desk.

Seth chuckled.

'Nay. Just missed my desk a lot.' he said. I scoffed.

'But, yeah, let's go.' he said closing the files.

We locked his cabin and walked outside.

Seth stretched his arms and yawned as we sat into the car.

'So, someone's stressed. I guess you need to get laid.' I said.

Seth smiled and shook his head.

'No. Just a little tired. Didn't get a good sleep last night.' he said.

I scoffed.

'Don't worry. You just need a real good sleep.' I said. Seth scoffed, perhaps, getting the hint.

'So, the fat rabbit or the Mermaid?' I asked as I started my car.

Seth looked at me as if I asked him to solve Newton's fourth law.

'Ahhh..Roman, actually I'm pretty tired man. I guess I just want to go home.' he said certainly avoiding the proposal.

I raised an eyebrow.

'You are telling me you are really tired for a little fuck with hot chicks?' I asked surprised.

Seth sighed and shook his head.

'I guess I am really tired.' he said. I gave him a keen look as he looked away not meeting my eyes.

Is going the Dean way too?

******

Last night was pretty cool. I picked up a black girl who was awesome in bed. She charged a little too much but that was fun.

But, the only thing in my head while pounding into her was.. Would Bayley be that good too?

Anyway, I have an important seminar to attend today. I think I should call Bayley to sum up the corresponding records in my table.

I dialed the cord to Bayley's cabin. No response!

Fuck! Why isn't she receiving?

Frustrated, I called the staffs from JR section through the bell.

'Yes Sir.' Blake said getting inside.

'Call Miss Martinez right now. She's needed immediately.' I said sort of roughly. Don't blame me, there was a lot of things do.

Blake looked at me nervous. 'Sir, Miss Martinez called a while ago. She was spending some time with Miss Lynch and she won't be coming today.' he said hesitating.

'What?' I stood up slamming my fist on the table.

Two fucking days! And she didn't even bother to inform me about today.

'How could she do that?' I asked gritting my teeth. Blake didn't match his eyes with me.

'And the girl didn't even care to inform me! When did she call the JR section?' I asked annoyed.

'ehhh..about 15 minutes ago.' Blake said.

My blood boiled.

'And you fucking are informing me right now? Is that what you call your duty?' I shouted on Blake. 'All bloody creeps in the office.' I gritted my teeth before leaning back on my seat.

'S..Sorry Sir. It won't happen again.' Blake said looking down.

I gave him a death glare.

'Get out before I start thinking about your job in the Shield.' I warned the guy shivering in front of me.

He nodded and left fast.

I slammed my fist once again.

How could she take a leave without consulting me? I guess she already knew about the events. Bloody irresponsible bitch!

I was breathing fast. But, let's not waste any more time.

I dialed Alexa's cord to bring the financial records of under 24 staffs in the office.

But, as she received, she too gave me the ominous news of Bayley's unfortunate absence. That girl informed everyone in the office except me!

After I got all the records, I analyzed them thoroughly. The youth force had been one of the most mobile force of the Shield. Even though, they are vulnerable, they are enthusiastic and I love it.

I opened my laptop to prepare my presentation to see Bayley already mailed me one.

Ugh! That girl would have at least messaged me about that!

Me, Seth and Randy were scheduled for the seminar. Dean did not call me yet.

********

W

e entered the big conference hall at the Hilton Inn. We were greeted with all warmth and me, Seth and Randy very near to the stage around our table. There were several other business tycoons, politicians, socialites, University scholars and aspiring students in the hall.

The mood was really warm. Mr. Mayor addressed the issue and brought out his perspectives. There were debates and refreshments all through.

'Damn! I never thought about these when I was younger.' Seth said referring to a young gun's concept of administration. I chuckled.

'The guy's gonna go good.' Randy said. I turned back and showed the young boy thumbs up. He was beyond excited but then my eyes fell on someone else..a face that made my heart stomp for a bit...

Galina!

Our eyes locked for a brief while. She looked hot with her straightened hair, glossy skin and brick red lipstick. She had one of her favorite bib necklaces around her neck, making her flaunt her strapless dress in the sexiest way possible.

Then, my eyes fell on a hand over her waist. Christopher!

Fiery flood occurred in my veins of wrathed blood. Reality snapped back and I wanted to taste their blood greedily.

I knew she saw me look her way. I turned to front immediately.y teeth gritted with sheer hatred as the long begotten scene flashed in my mind.

'May I now call upon stage the Forbes 8 time the best businessman award winner Roman Reigns.' the host called.

'Good luck bro.' Seth said nudging me. I nodded, getting a glimpse of reality.

I stood put forcing a smile as the crowd cheered.

I walked up on the ramp as memories flooded. I hope I can concentrate. I opened my laptop and looked ahead. My eyes locked with hers again.

She smirked and I knew what she intended. She caught me looking and was trying to take an advantage. I got to concentrate. But just then, I saw Galina changing her posture such that she was facing me straight now. I looked at her and..

She leaned down, giving me a scope to eye her ample assets. She traced her hands on her legs slowly. I saw her hand tracing up to her thighs as she smirked locking eyes with me. I was breathing fast. She's doing it to distract me! I won't let that work.

'Hey..Hello! Everyone, as you know I'm Roman Reigns and I would like to thank the FGDG Board of Management for inviting me and be a part of this amazing session.' I said.

All cheered and clapped.

Galina ran her tongue over her lips eyeing me. I saw her part her legs slowly, giving me a view if her red panties.

Damn!

No. That bitch can't toy me like this again. I realized the people counting on my speech but my mind wasn't working. I looked over at the PowerPoint, one which Bayley made for me. Wow! So delicately arranged! She must've been busy with Becky but still she managed to do this for me.

A smile formed on my lips as I thought how she, in fact, cares about the company. She has saved me twice selflessly and the way she saved my honor at the Armani Fashion Show, she kind of won everyone's heart. My own triggered as I thought so.

No. I have to be strong. I can't let Bayley's efforts down by distraction myself from the discussion by a bitch like Galina.

I took a deep breath.

'As they say....' I started.

'..and over and over with time.' I ended discussing the PPT.

The crowd roared into claps. My eyes fell on Seth who was clapping with a smiling face. I nodded to him.

My eyes fell on Galina again who had look of dissatisfaction as she poured something into her husband's ears.

After a little debate session, we were put for the dinner.

'So, I guess you had a nice time in Davenport.' Randy asked Seth.

Seth smiled.

'Yeah, few days away from few scumbags.' Seth said continuing to eat.

'Excuse me! Who you call a scumbag?' Randy said annoyed.

Can't blame him. Seth started it.

'Guys stop. We're in a damn Seminar.' I said trying to cool things off.

'Whatever! I don't mind telling the truth anywhere. For me, he is and ever will be a scumbag who..' Seth said but Randy cut him off.

'You're insulting me now Seth and out of my utmost mannerisms, I'm staying silent.' Randy said.

'What if I...' Seth started again.

'Would you guys stop?' I blurted being tired of their childish arguments. 'Disgusting!' I murmured and walked out of the dining.

I sighed as I stood at the lobby, looking at the sky. Why can't Dean and Seth be a little more matured with things?

Suddenly, I felt a hand being wrapped around my waist from behind, a slender form leaning against my back.

'Tired, aren't you Roman?' I heard the familiar voice of Galina.

Being startled, I shoved her hands off me and turned to face her with a look of surprise.

'What do you want?' I asked in a tone of annoyance?

She smirked.

'Oh Roman!' She ran a finger over my forehead, nose and landed on my lips. 'You're always that hot, aren't you?' she said.

I caught hold of her hands and yanked them off.

'Don't you dare cross my path again Lina.' I said with wrath in my voice.

She chuckled.

'Like you didn't like the color of my panties! I know red's your favorite, isn't it Roman?' she said catching hold of my tie.

Disgust was blowing through my breaths.

'You're a dirty whore of a wife, Galina. I'm glad Christopher did that favor to me few years back.' I said with a sarcastic chuckle and pulled my tie back.

Galina gave me a not-so-satisfied look.

I shook my head and started walking away.

But, I heard her chuckle again.

'Oh Romie!' she pouted. 'Still jealous, aren't you?' she said tracing her fingers on my arms from back. 'I mean, face it. You still want me and a glimpse of my hot body..still makes you forget the world.' she said.

My teeth gritted as I realized the moment she was referring too.

I caught hold of her arms and pulled her in front of me roughly.

'You're pathetic if you think so Lina.' I hissed. 'I'm long over your slutty tricks and I'm long over wanting your ominous presence anywhere around me.' I said gripping her arms roughly.

'Ahhhh..' Galina winced in pain. But, she chuckled amidst the pain and thus, making me loose my grip.

'This roughness of yours almost made me cum.' she said with a shameless smirk as she held on to her arm. 'Come on Roman, you're starving for me big dawg.' she grabbed onto my shirt suddenly. 'Have me right here, right now.' she said pulling her dress a little down to reveal half of her breasts.

'Stop it Galina. I'm not interested in you.' I said trying to get her hand away.

'Don't lie. You are still into me and that's why you couldn't go for a serious relationship after we ended. Face it, you can't forget me ever. You want me.' she said desperately and tried to kiss me.

I leaned back. 'Stop it Galina.' I barely said but the temptation of her body against mine got me weaker.

She knew it and pressed her core against my manhood.

I dropped her hands reluctantly.

She chuckled. 'I knew it Roman. You can never get over me.' she said.

No. No. No. This can't happen. I can't succumb to her. She pressed herself harder, making me wince.

My eyes closed in pleasure but then, it opened. I pushed her away, getting her shocked.

'Why did you stop? Don't you want me?' she said holding my hands.

'No. I've moved on from you long ago.' I said trying to get out of her strong grip.

'Lie. Why aren't you in a relationship then?' she said trying to get her grip stronger.

I was breathing hard as my heart beat faster.

'Truth. Because I am in an fucking relationship.' I said gritting my teeth.

Her grip loosened as her eyes were about to bulge out in shock. I took the opportunity and got my hands of her grip.

I started walking away.

'Well then, why don't you bring her with you tomorrow?' Galina said with a smug look. She knew I was lying.

I gave her a look of confusion.

She came closer.

'I mean, why don't you let us all meet your girlfriend tomorrow Romi.' she said with a fake smile.

I shook my head.

She smirked. 'Let's see how do you get off the fact that you aren't over me, my hot liar.' she said drawing my collars together and throwing me a wink.

I was slightly frozen but I can't back up.

I smirked too.

'As you say Lina.' I said getting her hands off me. 'I will bring her tomorrow.' I said.

Galina frowned her eyes.

'Hey! What's going on here?' I heard Seth's voice. He was surprised too as he saw Galina and me together.

'Ehm.. Nothing just a few words.' Galina said with her best fake smile.

Seth looked at me bewildered with an I didn't expect that from you look.

I shrugged my shoulders.

'See you later Roman, Bye Seth.' she said and walked away with her smirk.

'What the hell was that?' Seth said walking to me as she left.

'Problem.' I said with a sigh.

Now, what would I do with the girlfriend thing?

*****

Bayley's P-O-V

I was staying with Becky for two days. Some guy must've hurt her really bad. Poor Becky!

But, she doesn't realize the importance of life, does she? I sighed.

I missed the office two days. The first day, I informed Mr. Jerk.. I mean, Mr. Reigns face to face while the second day, I just mailed a note at the JR section. I called Alexa and told her too.

After I reached the office today, I had one motto. Avoid Roman at any cost.

I mean, can you believe it, my fucking boss The Roman Reigns asked for nudes!

Urgghh! That was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life. How could he just ask that? Does he think I'm like any of those whores who would expose herself to any walking billionaire, like a damn smiley? Well, I'm not.

My teeth gritted on its own as I thought of the perverted soul I call my boss.

The door was knocked and I asked the person to get inside.

'Hello Miss Martinez! Mr. Reigns wants to see you in his cabin.' she said and left.

I nodded. She left.

I sighed.

Let's see what the great soul has to say now.

I walked to his room and knocked the door.

'Come in.' he said and I walked inside.

'You wanted to see me?' I asked getting straight to the point. I didn't want to talk much.

Mr. Reigns lifted his head hearing my voice.

'Ahh..yeah Bayley, you actually missed two fucking days including the important Seminar last evening.' he said in a reminding tone.

'Sorry Sir. But, Becky was really upset and I needed to be with her. So, I thought..' I started to say but he cut me off.

'You thought you don't have to inform me about your absence?' he said leaning back on his chair with a tone of annoyance.

Oops..

'I.. I informed the JR section and.. Alexa too.' I said sheepishly.

He must be fuming now. But, to me utter surprise, he chuckled.

Roman licked his lips and smirked. Oh no! I was biting my lips.

'Come. Have a seat.' he said pointing a chair in front of me.

I nodded and took the seat.

'So..?' Roman asked with a smirk leaning towards me, as if he was expecting me to say something.

'So..' I gave him a confused look and he shook his head.

'Ahhh..never mind!' he said and took out a pendrive from his drawer. Was he about to say something?

'Here. I need you to have a look at these two contingencies from last month.' he said.

'Okay. I will.' I said as he handed the thing to me, our fingers brushing slightly in the process. I shrugged it off and was about to stand up.

'And thanks for preparing the presentation. It was really good.' he said.

Wow! Did I hear that right? Did Mr. Reigns really compliment me for my work?

I looked at him wide eyed and a smile appeared on my lips immediately.

'Thanks..' I said and was about to turn but just remembered something.

'How was the Seminar anyway?' I asked not as a mere formality. I really wanted to know.

Roman's face fell slightly. But, didn't he just say the presentation was pretty good?

'Ahhh.. It was g..good Bayley. I mean, I loved the reception, presentations, participations, the craze, the debates and the food too.' he said trailing off with a chuckle.

But, he didn't look at me straight in the eyes as he said. He seemed quite restless. My Dad says, whenever man's gaze is restless while describing something, it means he is hiding a big part of it. Moreover, he smiled a lot more than natural while telling that. My observation is correct.

'So I guess you are really excited to go their this evening too, right?' I asked.

He looked at me blank for a second and sighed. 'I don't know. May be Seth and Randy would manage it today. I'm slightly busy.' he said pretending to look at the laptop screen.

What is going on? He is genuinely avoiding the seminar. Did anything happen? Did someone try to.. Oh no!

'Was Panache there too?' I just remembered and hell! I even said it aloud.

I saw Mr. Reigns look at me with frowned eyes. I gulped hard. The topic of Panache had always been too touchy for him. I remembered the way he reacted last time I mentioned about Galina. He is gonna kill me now. I felt his jaw clench as his eyes had an expression I couldn't detect. He stood up, his eyes not leaving mine as his mind calculated something.

No. Please, I need this job. Don't fire me.

I backed towards the door.

'I..I'm sorry. Never mind. I just.' I fumbled with my words nervously as he kept walking towards me.

I couldn't take it anymore and opened the door to leave but just as I was about to step outside, I heard his voice.

'Bayley, would you be my girlfriend?'

I froze as my heart knew no rhythm to beat. I felt my ears blocked for a tiny fraction of second.

No. My ears had been playing me! My heart was racing out. So many contradicting thoughts ran through my mind.

Without any more thoughts, I turned to face him. My eyes were almost ready to pour my emotions as they fell on Roman's.

He retained the gaze and stepped closer.

'I said would you be my girlfriend?' he said again.

I was literally trembling as his huge hands came to grab my arms. The heat emitting from my cheeks were inevitable.

My tears cannot hold themselves anymore. This can't be. I slightly shook my head as those grey eyes inspected me.

Suddenly, I felt a little squeeze on my shoulders as Roman chuckled suddenly.

'Relax! Not for real. Just a little acting for this evening.' he said.

What?

I slipped off his grip and backed away. He's more disgusting than I ever thought.

'I..I get your joke but I need to go Mr. Reigns. The new Assistants are waiting for me.' I said turning to leave but Roman grabbed my wrists and yanked me to face him.

'I wasn't joking Bayley. I mean it.' he said. 'I.. I challenged someone to bring my girlfriend with me tonight and I need someone for that.' he said dropping his eyes from me.

'Seriously Mr. Reigns! You challenged someone that you would bring your girlfriend and you think the he will believe it if you take any random girl with you. Come on! The whole world knows The Roman Reigns don't do relationships. He only..' I stopped not wanting to go that far.

I saw Roman looking at me and listening to me minutely.

He shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, his grip was back on my shoulders again as he gazed on to my eyes.

'First of, I know everything you just said but I really need to prove something to someone and second of, you call me Mr. Reigns one more time, I'll make sure you never forget my name ever.' he said with full force and passion.

I rolled my eyes.

'And what's the reason you pick me for this awful job ROMAN?' I spat pronouncing his name distinctively.

'Awful job, huh!' he chuckled and suddenly blocked me by lifting his hands on both sides of the door behind me. He leaned in closer, sending chills down my spine.

'You wish you said the truth Bayley.' he said in my ear. I knew my heart was beating so fast that even Roman could hear. He smirked withdrawing himself.

'..because you are gonna get a full digit bucks for this job.' he said throwing a wink.

I can't believe him! How can a man fall that low?

My teeth gritted with disgust.

'Do you think you can make anyone do your shit by paying off some bucks? Well, no. Bayley Martinez isn't someone in your league. I'm sorry but you should try and find someone else.' I said trying to leave again.

I was about to turn but just then, Roman's hands were lifted to the door beside me, blocking me to the wall

'I guess you're forgetting that you are my assistant and you are bound to do whatever I ask you.' he said.

I frowned my eyes as he portrayed a proud look.

Disgust was all around the air.

I gave him a dirty look.

'So, you think you can force me to do anything you want? ' I asked sharply.

He scoffed.

'Oh trust me baby girl, I can.' he said with a smug look. 'but I won't.. because I want you to do it at your best of will, with total perfection and love!.' he said with a proud smirk.

Perfecttion and love! How could he even think of... Ugh!

He smirked. 'And you are right. I could get any big actress or any super model to play the role. In fact, they would do it with all their efforts to spend some time with me but I..' he paused licking his lips, 'need someone who knows me too well.' he said.

I swallowed the lump formed in my throat out of surprise not only by what he said but by the way he stood so close to me.

'..my pros and cons, my likes and dislikes, my strength and weakness..' he said piercing into my eyes with his. 'And that Miss Martinez, is you, only you.' he whispered innear my ears.

His words and the sensation paralyzed my thoughts.

I gulped.

'I.. I don't know what you are talking about? I've never done this before.' I said almost trying to camouflage myself with the door.

He backed away and smiled.

'I know Bayley, it's not going to be easy. We are to convince a lot but trust me, if you try, you can make me win the biggest deal in my life.' he said with a determination in his voice.

Deal?

I was really worried now. Should I..

'And remember, I'm still not forcing you into anything.' he said.

'Roman, I.. I need some time to think.' I said biting my lips.

I saw him look at me keenly and smirk.

'Good ahead, take your time.' he said but then smirked crossing his arms on his chest. 'But, I already know you won't disappoint me.' he said walking to his desk.

My mind was trying to register what he just said but I decided to shrug it off and get out of his room.

My mind had so many mixed emotions running through. I don't know what to do. This wasn't something natural. I was being a cheater!

But, just as my mind wanted to follow my ideals, his words echoed into my mind..

... Only if you try, you can make me win the biggest deal of my life..

Why did he say like this? Why put of all, he chose me for this?

I walked into my cabin and took a seat, analyzing everything. I respect the entrepreneur Mr. Roman Reigns, I always did. His passion for work is his biggest quality.

I don't want him to lose any deal of his life.

*******

Roman's P-O-V

I froze as she asked me how the seminar went. Within these 14 hours, nobody has asked anything about that. They all knew it was fine and I was fine with that.

But, her question was like an arrow into my aching heart.

I told her about the seminar but she knew she missed something. How could she judge me so well by my face in mere three months?

But, the nail in the coffin was when she mentioned Panache!

She knew what caused my destruction. And at that moment, I knew what I needed to do. I didn't want to react the way I was doing. Escaping was not an option. I needed to face things and shove it on Galina's face.

I looked at the 26 years old girl standing in front of me with fear. She knew she hit a nerve. But, her innocent brown eyes with fear worry and excitement gave me a chance..to show that bitch what I was doing.

Bayley was the one I needed a day I could trust. Unlike any other girl, she would never turn away from the duty and that's something I learned about her in these three months.

My biggest advantage of choosing Bayley was her lack of claims. Any hot model would long for this opportunity to cling onto me and glide their career in terms of my name. But, Bayley never saw me that way. She would never cling on to me. She barely likes to talk to me.

I sighed.

The biggest advantage of my plan somewhat brought in a glimpse of sadness as I realized things.

*******

Bayley's P-O-V

I took a deep breath as I knocked the door to Roman's door again. After getting an approval, I walked inside boldly.

'Hey!' Roman greeted me with a smile as his eyes fell on me.

I gave him a nod with a nervous smile.

'Roman I.. I've thought about it a lot and...' I bit my lips looking at him, 'I'm gonna give it a try.' I said my decision.

A subtle smile formed on Roman's face.

'Really?' he stood up from his seat. 'Wow! Thanks for understanding Bayley.' he said.

I gulped.

'Yeah but I've got two conditions for that.' I said facing him as he walked towards me.

'Ask whatever you want. I'll just sign...' he tried to say but I cut him off.

'First of, I'll not accept any money for this and second of, I want to know who am I fooling and why am I fooling.' I said looking straight into his grey eyes.

Roman's face fell immediately and I saw his jaw clench as he walked closer.

'Yes for the first and No for the second.' he said looking at me with determined eyes.

I scoffed.

'Well then, get someone else for this job.' I said trying to leave but Roman grabbed my wrist fast.

'You can't do that Bayley.' he said with gritted teeth.

I chuckled sarcastically.

'Oh yes, I can. I am not going to jump into the water without knowing how cold it is. Cheating or playing around with people might be nothing to you, but it hits me a lot. So, before I do, I need to know the big deal I'm helping you with.' I said looking straight into his eyes.

He looked into my eyes intently with his grey orbs.

I tried to yank his hold away but he gripping me tight.

'You're a feisty bitch, you know that?' he said with clenched jaw.

'I don't mind that compliment.' I said trying to pull away again but this time he pulled me closer into his chest.

I withdrew slightly with a wince and backed my head away.

Roman lifted his hand as his fingers stroke my cheeks. I bit my lip fiercely to hold  a gasp.

He chuckled.

'Yeah, a fiesty bitch who trembles by my touch.' he said.

I was breathing hard and looked away from him.

I felt his grab on me strengthen as I felt him leaning in.

My face flushed as his minty breath hit my face.

'Galina Becker.' he whispered in my ears causing goosebumps in my body. 'My ex-girlfriend.' he said before retreating from me.

I gave him a look of confusion.

Roman sighed.

'She challenged me if I could ever move on from her charms. I said I already did and for that, I need to introduce my girlfriend to her.' he said.

My eyes were about to bulge out in shock.

No way!

I couldn't help but raise my voice.

'But, Mr. Reigns. Most of them know me as your assistant and they would never believe if you take me as your girlfriend, plus the company....' I was cut off as he placed his hands back on my arms.

'I'll care about the believe thing and you should make sure, nobody in the company comes to know of our little deal.' he said looking into my eyes.

I shook my head restlessly.

'And..moreover, you still aren't over Galina, are you? .' I said nervously.

I felt Roman's grip loosening on me.

'That doesn't include your concern as well as your condition Miss Martinez.' he said stepping away with annoyed eyes.

I guess I hit a nerve again. By the way I saw it, I always felt he didn't move on from whatever happened between him and Galina. Perhaps, it's the same fear of loss that leads him to avoid any commitment in relationships. But, will his plan to fool Galina distract him from the truth?

My thoughts got a break as I heard Roman's deep voice again.

'

So, I guess you should leave now. You got to look presentable enough to be my girlfriend, right?' he said with a smirk.

I smiled as a blush creeped up on his cheek on the way he mentioned my girlfriend.

'Ahh.. Yeah.' I said sheepishly.

'Yeah what?' he asked raising an eyebrow.

I scoffed.

'Yeah, Roman.' I said.

'That's right baby girl. Roman, Rome, baby, honey, daddy anything.' he said throwing a wink. 'Just don't call me Mr. Reigns out there.' he said looking into my eyes.

I nodded biting my lip. Roman's eyes fell from my eyes and landed on my lips.

'I wonder how it tastes, those lips of yours.' he muttered to himself, eyeing them minutely.

The heat engrossed my face, sending a sharp chill all around my body. My heart was beating really fast and loud enough for Roman to hear it.

'Ahh... I..' I tried to formulate but Roman cleared his throat and spoke fast.

'Well, you should uhm..leave now. You got to get ready. I.. I'll pick you up at 7.' he said.

I could feel him tensed too.

'Yes Sir.. I mean Roman.' I said and walked out if his cabin fast.

My heart was still beating fast. He does say something out of the box, sometimes. I should not bother that.

I should not.

But, what am I doing? Is it alright to help him this way?

No. Yes. No. Yes.

I remembered the way he said he craved my body for his sexual pleasures.

I body jammed.

Can I really trust him with being his fake girlfriend? Is he gonna...

I sighed not knowing what I was getting myself into.

********
