Blackmailed For Love

My heart beat like a drum as I stepped out of the elevator on my floor.I knew that I shouldn't have come back here, not when everything I hold precious was at stake if ever he found out.

But despite his warnings and threats to make my life hell and I knew he would, I came back for my mother and daughter.

My mum has always believed in me and I could not let her down.

Not when she needed me the most.I have to find a way to give her the care and treatment she deserves.

Also, I could not just get up and leave when I had just settled down.

Anna needs a proper home, not a life where her mother jumps around from one place to another.

I might've not been ready for her but I loved her from the moment I found out I was pregnant and I would do anything to give her the life she deserves.And I knew what I had to do.

I knew how it would work.I won't fight him.

The devil wants his due and I am ready to give in.

But like in every transaction with the Devil I will ask for a prize.

A way to solve my problems.

My mother's cancer treatment and a way for my daughter to go to school and have everything she needs.

I was no princess like my mum used to call me but I wanted to give my daughter the life of princess and there was only one way to do it.

Make a deal with the devil that hates me.

I couldn't even say that it was unfound— his hatred for me, because it wasn't.He had every reason to hate me.

Every step that I took down the small corridor to the file room was filled with anxious energy as I waited for him to jump out of the shadows and corner me, which was stupid because Kristian Aaron wouldn't do something like that.

He wasn't a boy wanting attention, he never was.

When I met him he was a mysterious and very attractive man of twenty five that intrigued me from the very first glimpse, but now he was dangerous and ready to tear me into pieces like the wild being that I used to fear in the forest of Black Mountains.

Now he wasn't just attractive, he had a lethal beauty that called to me at a base level and I wondered if I would be able to resist him.

Because, if I'm being honest with myself, even when I gave him reason to hate me, I never hated him.

I entered the file room and made my way toward my desk.

As I started working, marking the unknown files and pasting the sticky notes to label the others, I almost forgot to be on guard.

I should not have.I almost screamed when someone touched my shoulder while I was bent over to pick up the box that I had placed under the desk.

When I jerked upright, I let out a rough exhale as I saw Kaden standing there.

"Hi, there."

"Hey…"

"I knocked but you were busy."

I looked back down at the box of scrunched up papers that I hadn't wanted to look through.

"Yeah, what's up?" I asked and cringed at how I sounded.

He smiled.

"I was wondering about our dinner date."

Oh.

I had totally forgotten about it.He asked, "Are you ever going to say yes to it?"

I licked my lips as I thought about my response.
