Adam

Amaya’s POV….. Adam stood in front of my door, he has a frown on his face and he turned to look at me as if I were nothing before he headed into my house. What the hell? I did not invite him in; he has no right to come in here, this is not my workplace or his office where he thinks he can get to tell me whatever he wants, and he can’t behave this way, it just reminded me of how much of an obnoxious asshole he is and how much I hate him. I quickly closed the door from behind and I turned took to look at the intruder in my home, he was roaming around my living room and his eye met the picture of Harry and me, I haven’t taken any of his things out of the apartment yet, I have even busy for a while. He held the picture, and he turned to look at me. “You were in a relationship with him, the rumors are a lie, you are not just some crazy woman obsessing over him, you had something to do with him.” Adam stated. “That is none of your business, are you going to tell me why you are in my home, this is not your office Adam, you can’t just walk in when you want.” “You walked out on our meeting and Jonah did not quite like that, I am here to continue the meeting, now sit your ass on the couch and listen to me.” He demanded, his voice was firm and filled with emotion, I turned away from him and a breath escaped my lips. On one hand, I want to ask him to walk out and get the hell out of here and on the other hand I would like to hear what he has to say, and I know that Jonah is still very upset at me and I need to fix this, I have to hear what he wanted to say before I ask him to leave my home. “Are you going to keep staring, I have a feeling you like my face, Amaya.” “Don’t flatter yourself, Adam, the only reason I am listening to you is that my boss is obsessed with you, and he needs his job to be finished.” I stated, I don’t want him to think that I care about him, or I want him to know that I would not have been here if I didn’t have a choice, and I would kick him out in a couple of minutes. A breath escaped my lips when I sat on the couch, he kept the picture on the table and his eyes turned to look at another picture of Harry and me. “I know you are not here to discuss my past relationship, so can get to the job.” I asked with a frown on my face, I don’t care if I am being rude about it, I wanted to get this over with as soon as I can. “Not that it’s any of my concern but if you are hoping to work with me, I need to know working with you would not tarnish my reputation, we both know about the video that was posted, yes one were you were begging Mr. Blackwood and there are a few controversial remarks about the video, this could do damage to my image.” “You don’t have to work with me Adam, you can pick out anyone from the firm and Jonah would make that person work with you, we both know that.” I stated. “I want you, Amaya.” He whispered, and my eyes widened, I turned to look at him with a frown on my face, a breath escaped my lips when my eyes met his, why would he say something like that? I didn’t understand Adam, I met him only once and in that time span he has made me hate him, so much, more than I could ever hate anyone, he was too controlling and obnoxious. “Don’t look at me like that, I have a deal for you and I have feeling it would be beneficial for both of us.” He said and I rolled my eyes at him. “What?” I asked, I have a feeling it was much more than the deal Jonah wanted and to be honest, I need this job, it’s hard to find a job in this time of the year, and it was even harder to give a woman a job if the reason she got fired was because she was rude to one of the associates, and I don’t want to have to sleep with anyone to get a job, it would just annoy the hell out of me, I wanted this, I wanted this to work out, and I knew that if I worked at the firm for three more years I would be able to have enough money that I needed and if I don’t have a job, I would not be able to keep my apartment and every other thing. I shook off the thoughts and I turned to look at Adam, hoping he would end up saying something that would make me happy; after all he has done is annoy me, he seemed like he was even more interested in the relationship I shared with Harry rather than the deal. “I will sign the papers, and we would work on the deal but on one condition.” He said, he was about to speak when my phone rang, 8 ignored it and it rang again. “Pick it up Amaya.” He said. He wasn’t asking, he was demanding, and I gave him a nod, I stared at the screen when I saw it was a call from an unknown number, I don’t pick calls from unknown numbers this time of the year hug I have a feeling I know who it was. There was no way I am going to pick, I canceled the call and I quickly deleted the number, I made sure to turn off my phone because I don’t want another number trying to call me, I can’t deal with this right now. “What do you need, Adam?” I asked with a frown on my face. “I know you need this job and stating by the place you are living in; this place is three times your salary, if you get fired you would be on the streets.” “I think I am aware of that, do you have anything else to say apart from that, or are you here to tell me that I made some and life choices which led me into living at an apartment I cannot afford.” I gritted through my teeth. I gave up my apartment for this, a place that I actually owned, and I didn’t have to ever worry about someone coming to threaten me to pay my bills or even to ask me why I haven’t even picking their calls, I was happy back then, and I let Harry ruin me, I listened to every word because I wanted him to stay with me, I was that desperate I didn’t care about ruining my life. A breath escaped my lips and I looked back at Adam. “No need to get salty, Amaya.” He said, I don’t like the way he said my name, it felt like he owned me or something, he has it with some much possessiveness and authority. I shook off the thoughts and I turned to look at him again. “I will give you everything you want, this apartment would be yours, you don’t have to ever worry about paying the rent, the house would be in your name, and you would get to keep your job and I would throw in one million dollars.” He said. It sounded all too good to be true, he has no idea what I can do with that money, I would disappear, I would never have to worry about my past and I would finally be happy. I would be away from everyone and I can hide, I don’t have to work for Jonah and get insulted every singe day. And having house that is mine, it would be a dream come true but at what price, I know that everything he just said is not going to be for free, and I also know that he is not that much of a good person to even want to do this for me, we barely know each other, he doesn’t even care about me. “At what cost Adam, what do I have to do to get this, sleep with you.” I asked. I know he is that kind of man and I would not be surprised if offered something like that, I have no idea if I would be able to give that to him.
