"Aphrodite! Wake up already. it's getting late! Don't whine later on."

an alarming voice hit the sleeping girl's eardrums, which she wished they never did. She opened her eyes reluctantly, but was forced to close them again by the sweet touch of the soothing wind that came from the open window.

"Just a little more.. 5 minutes...I promise" said the sleeping beauty as she pulled the blanket back onto her face and travel back into her world of fantasy.

Soon after a few minutes, the blanket was snatched away from the sleeping beauty which forced her to get up from her sweet heaven. She stretches her body and rubs her drowsy eyes as She catches a glance at the clock, noticing it was too early for her she gets grumpy and irritated.

"Seriously rose?! It's just 9am, why did you have the audacity to wake me up this damn early!" Said aphrodite who was vexed and furious.

Rose leans her back on the door which has a sign 'do not disturb' on it as she face palms out of annoyance.

"And Did you seriously forget that you're gonna be late for the interview?" Said rose which made aphrodite stunned and dumbfounded.

"Shit the interview is in an hour- I'm so gonna be late--" aphrodite rushes towards the bathroom hitting her head on how she forgot such an important task while rose sighs and leaves the room.

After a long day,

At 5pm.

-

Aphrodite finds herself sitting in a cafe, giving off a frustrated look to her best friend ivy.

"Aphy, you don't seem to be fine. What's bothering you so much? Is it a rough day?" Being a worry wart ivy gets concerned and perturbed.

Aphrodite starts ranting to her best friend.

"Oh where do I even start? Since I was fired from that so called company just because I made minor mistakes, I'm going through alot of trouble with finding a new job. The interview I had today was postponed to the weekend for an unknown cause and I'm not even sure I'll pass this one as well."

Ivy with her curiosity, questions aphrodite on why she was fired just for a few minor mistakes. Aphrodite slams her hand on the wooden table covered with a beautiful flower patterned cloth.

"They had the audacity to call me lazy at work just because I dropped in late a few dozen times! And more over they made up fake rumors that I'm a single mother with a bunch of kids and no money as well! ugh"

ivy gives off a gentle smile trying to calm her best friend. She recommends aphrodite on forgetting the past and moving onto the future, and soon after the therapy session they both get up and head towards the exit.

Aphrodite continues to walk forward looking at ivy, unconscious about where she's walking. In the blink of an eye she finds herself caught by a tall, handsome man, His right hand wrapped around her waist as they both look into each other's eyes for a few seconds.

"Learn how to walk, woman." Said the arrogant man who pushed aphrodite aside abruptly and walked away.

Aphrodite's POV

His dark blue eyes which looked so deep as the pacific ocean caught my gaze, He also had messy hair as if that style was made for him, and soft red lips that craved mine to smash on his.

I wasn't aware of the reality, just lost in my thoughts about him. And like every story has an ending, he pushed me away after a few seconds.

"Learn how to walk, woman." He said in a low, deep voice which gave me goosebumps. I continued looking at him, admiring his height and back. It's pretty common for girls loving tall guys more anyway. Then my eyes accidentally witnessed his juicy ***, I mean it's not my fault that it's very noticeable.

I felt like I had a connection with him, when he grabbed me by his big hand which made me feel so little, even if I'm 5'9, But I can sure tell he's above 6' feet tall.

A pat on my shoulder made me lose my thoughts. I turned around to look at ivy being perturbed again and I reassured her that I'm completely fine.

...♡...

A few days later.

Saturday, 9:30am.

It's been a few days since that little incident and I still couldn't take him off my mind, off my thoughts. I had to force myself out of my sweet heaven bed for my interview which was annoyingly postponed to that is, today.

I chose a pair of black jeans with a white turtleneck top which was abit short since my waist was noticeable. And matched a black necklace and earrings along with a few rings to my outfit. I left my hair in a half up-half down style then made my way out.

I waved a goodbye to my sister, rose and took out my bike. Well I'm not a sports lover but I just love riding sport bikes and Since today is the weekend maybe I could have a little bit of fun. Ofcource after my hopeless interview.

I wore my black helmet and got on my lavish, black bike and started driving. I was always careful around my bike since it was a gift from one of my uncles. 

I started driving, enjoying how the wind was soothing me, admiring the view. I prefer the night sky vibes rather than the day but I suppose I was in a good mood as it is the weekend.

The traffic lights just then turned red which forced me to land a break, kind of irritating since I was enjoying the wind.

I looked around a bunch of unfamiliar people, wanting to pass time. Next to me was a black, pretty lavish car. It's pretty easy for me to discover that it's a Mercedes-Benz C- class car, Since i loved bikes and cars, bikes more though.

I took a glimpse of the glass window which was frosted. What a bummer, I could've caught a rich guy's attention with my pretty looks.

Looking at the yellow light, I decided to do something funny for myself. The moment the light turned green, I brought my hand towards the window and opened up middle finger to it then quickly started my bike, speeding it so that I could surpass out of its sight.

I reached my destination, still laughing at how funny the little incident was. I parked my bike and placed my helmet on it then I got to the entry of the building.

It was huge, probably had like 30 floors or something. From what I've heard, Elowen is one of the most popular company in this continent. Probably the top most known company in this country. Well I've never cared about business much. But my family kept me studying business throughout.

I kept walking into the company, noticing how big it was and how deluxe it was with many paintings. I've also heard that this is a multi national company, well known everywhere in this world. So much for this company to be extravagant.

I made my way to the desk and filled in my details. I was asked to go to the 10th floor and find the room which apparently would seem obvious.

I got into the elevator then started fixing my hair. As the elevator slowly was about to close, a hand popped up infront of me making the door open for him. He seemed fair and tall, quite handsome but not my type.

I leaned back on the wall and took a look at my watch as he got in and pressed the floor 10th as well. He looked at me and my outfit, I mean I know that I'm beautiful but staring is creepy. Hot guys are exceptional, so i guess it is for him.

I looked at his light green eyes, and his hair fixed up in a decent manner. I admired his black suit and caught him wearing a Rolex watch, made me wish to steal it.

"Can't take your eyes off me?" Said the man in a soft, gentle voice. I gave a little laugh and replied,

"Not that you're my type. I like the watch you're wearing that's all."

He laughed as the elevator reached the 3rd floor. His smile was so attractive, it was gentle and calming and the way he laughed gave me abit of butterflies in my stomach.

"You want it? Then you have to earn it." He said in his calming voice which made me blush a little.

"Earn it? And in what way are you referring to?" I said while the elevator now reached the 5th floor.

He pinned me against the wall and held my chin up, literally gave me goosebumps. "Maybe give me a taste of your lips?"

I smirked and pushed him back, now pinning him against the wall. "Im sorry love, but I like to save my taste for my prince charming"

He smiled at me, rubbing my soft pink lips. "And what if I'm your prince charming?" Said the handsome looking man.

I got closer to his face and seductively whispered "oh are you now? What makes you think I'd believe you?"

I noticed the elevator was reaching the 8th floor as he grabbed my neck and got even closer. "Want me to prove it?" He said in a low, husky voice that made me blush alot. 

"Let me think about it" I said while I distract him and slowly take his watch off. He was close enough that our lips were inches apart, his breathing matched mine and I could hear my heart beating faster.

And when the elevator reached the 10th floor, I pushed him away and took out his watch.

I quickly got off and blowed him a kiss showing his pretty watch now in my hands, then started walking away from him.

He got off as well and shouted "I didn't get my answer yet!" Which made me turn around but I did nothing but give off a seductive smile with a wink.

Putting the watch in my pocket, I discovered the room I was supposed to enter for my interview.

"Aphrodite lopez, you can do this. Don't be a hopeless freak for a while" I talked to myself. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open to find a cute guy sitting behind the desk.

I was in awe that finally, a cute guy is gonna spend some quality time with me, even though i know it's for a dumb interview i won't pass.

"Aphrodite lopez? I suppose it is you." He said in an angelic voice, looking at a few papers which I think were my details.

Gathering up my confidence, I walked up to the desk and took my seat. "I mean it's pretty obvious that it is me"

He looked pretty serious, perhaps he's the type to be serious around work and different outside.

I was admiring how cute he looks, and his voice just makes it more enchanting.

And yet again, I was lost in my own thoughts. Well I guess it's a habit of mine to do so-

"Aphrodite lopez!" A strong force of voice brought me back to reality, which made the atmosphere pretty awkward.

I gave a slight smile, apologizing for my dumb habit. He chuckled abit, propably laughing at how dumbfounded I can be.

He then started speaking with his angelic sweet voice,

"So you are aphrodite lopez, age 21 and height 5'9, weight 57kg. You have a sister who is working for liance company, and you both live together. Your mother and father died in an accident a few years ago, which made you and your sister to move from Los Angeles to here?"

Accident. I know it's not an accident and there's more to know about what happened that day. Thinking about it makes my killer mind lose it.

I gave a sigh and replied, "yes, we moved to California for starting a new life. And to look out for each other"

"You've studied business in one of our institutes, Cecily academy. Which gives you a bonus point for the consideration on working here." He said looking at me with such an enchanting vibe.

"Oh? Well that's a coincidence. I've been struggling to find a right job for myself these past few days"

I continued replying to whatever the majestic angel questions or speak facts about me.

After spending some quality time with him, the words I never expected I'd hear made me get excited and happy.

"Alright you're hired, you'll be working in from Monday. A desk will be made ready for you on the 20th floor. Do well and work hard which will promote you to higher positions"

I was so relieved that I finally wouldn't have to struggle more for finding a job.

I got up from my seat and pulled him closer for a hug. Well looking at him, he must be surprised but I couldn't help it that I was way too happy.

He surprisingly hugged me back and patted my head. I know we both will be in close touch after this which got me thrilled that I have a cute guy- I mean a friend to work with in this company.

"Thank you so much, I promise I'll work hard and prove myself I'm worth it" I said in a proud dumb tone which I guess he found it funny since he started chuckling again.

And so, I got out of the company with a radiant look. My face was glowing as if butterflies were circling above my head.

♡

I looked at her walking out of my company, with such a happy face that somehow made my heart flutter.

She got onto her bike and left, growing more distance between us. I don't know what's this feeling inside me, I wanted to see her everyday, protect her and hold her close.

Those light blue eyes I've met at the Cafe gave me some kind of weird feeling, as if i found the missing piece of my heart.

I kept wondering to myself on what's happening to me, a soft voice made me lose my thoughts and travel back to my office.

"Boss, I've done what you asked for. She seems to be very happy about getting a job. She even hugged me tightly.." He gave in a soft bright smile as if he was embraced by a goddess.

"She hugged you? Go have a shower. No one can feel her touch but me." I don't know why I felt jealous, I didn't like her touching other men as if she was my wife.

A strange presence entered my office, making the atmosphere more tensed. "Calm yourself, brother. She doesn't even know you yet"

I took a seat on my classy expensive black chair which was only reserved for me, and that by means no one else can touch my chair but me.

"I feel a strange connection with her, it reminds me of..." I stopped speaking and got tensed in my stunning thoughts.

"Aiden, It was recorded that she passed away 12 years ago. They even had a funeral for her." Said my brother but I still kept thinking about it.

"Aaron, it's no use. We both know that once he starts thinking of something, he won't come out of it untill there's solid proof."

Williams, my childhood best friend spoke to my brother which is a true fact about myself.

Sure enough, these two are the only people I adore after my parents and sister. Aaron, my younger brother who was born only 1 year after me. And my best friend Williams, who was with me in every situation I found difficult to handle.

But I felt like I've adored that girl deep down in my heart all these years, could it be that she's still alive but her identity was changed?

"Will, did you do a background check around that girl like I've asked you to?" I asked with bright hope in my eyes.

"I did and I failed. Something or someone is protecting her I feel. Her background is confidential that even the top known hacker, which is myself can't get it"

Confidential? It gave a spark to my hope that my princess was still alive.

"Although, when I was doing the interview.." will started speaking which caught our attention.

"She was pretty tensed when I spoke about her parents. As if she knew that it wasn't an accident and got really upset"

"And who are her parents? Exactly?"

Williams looked down and sighed deeply.
