''James...'' a whisper came out of my mouth.

His eyes travelled from mine to... Diego.. i could see his hand fisted. His eyes became dark and anger was clearly visible there. His jaw tensed.

My breath hitched just by looking at his ferocious expression.

Sh*t!

Diego was still hovering over me with a confused expression. I pushed him and he fell to the ground.

''James..'' i stood up and started to walk towards him but his voice stopped me in my place.

''DON'T'' He yelled with so much anger in his voice that i scared.

I don't know why am i feeling like this..but..i felt like crying...

I am the cause behind his anger.. maybe that is why i am feeling down..

Before i could have said anything he stormed out of the apartment banging the door in the process.

''James.'' I yelled and ran towards the door to opened it.

I opened it and saw Mason with a shopping bag in his hand. He shoved it in my hand and started walking towards...him.

I saw him disappeared into the hallway.

I went inside my room to see Diego standing with his arms crossed.

''Care to explain?'' He said.

I locked the door and went to sat on the couch. Diego soon joined me.

I looked at the packet and opened it.

Wow!

It was a beautiful dress. It was perfect for me. There was no tag of a birthday wish but i knew he brought it for that reason.

''Liza.. do you want to share it?'' Diego asked and i nodded in agreement.

I wanted to share it with someone. Diego seemed to be quite mature and understanding.
He is also a man..maybe he could tell me about why James behaves with me like this.. what is going on his mind..

''It is a long story.''

''I am here all night.'' He smiled.

''I joined this company seven months ago....''

I told him everything. From our first meet till our last meet after which he went to Columbia. I told him everything about his behaviour in the party, in the office, in the pub and even...when he was drunk and forced himself on me.

Diego listened to everything very carefully with a serious expression.

I told him how he was willing to threw me out of the company but after somedays he was so afraid to fire me. He started maintaining his distance. About the one month deal.

''Hmm.. so i assume you haven't told him about my living here.'' He said and i nodded.

''But..what after tonight? He saw me here and not in a good position.'' He chuckled.

''Because of you. Why didn't you gave me the phone?'' I asked him narrowing my eyes.

''Why didn't you tell me who was 'Mr. Whowantsme'?'' He mocked my voice.

''Shut up.'' He started laughing.

''Do you think he would kill me?'' He asked raising his brows with a smirk on his face.

''I..i..don't know. I was not expecting him to walk away just like that..''

''So you were expecting him to beat me up?'' He asked in a shocking voice.

''No..i mean yes.. but..he didn't. This is not good.''

''What? He didn't beat me was not a good thing? You were wanting him to kill me?'' He asked me in a shocking voice but he was trying to control his smile.

''No! I mean..i..i don't know.'' I said and tangled my hands in my hair.

''He likes you.''

What?

''Are you serious?'' I asked him with wide eyes.

I know he wants me but he never liked me..

''Yes. I think...he will not leave you alone.''

''Thanks for the information which i already know.'' I stood up.

He came towards me and hugged me.

''Liza he is a stubborn man. Make him realize what he wants..i mean not only physically..but what his heart wants. You have spent seven months with him but he never used you.. think about it Liza. If he wanted to only have you he would have get it. Make him understand what he feels towards you.'' He said and went to his room.

What his heart wants...

But what?

How will i make him realize? I know he wants me and thats it.

I went to my room and used the washroom. I looked at the mirror while brushing my teeth. Suddenly a scaring thought came to my mind.

What if he did something to himself?

He was beyond angry...

What if he had hurt himself...

I rinse my mouth and went out to search my phone.

I dialled his number but he was not responding.

After two or three attempts his call started going to the voice mail.

Sh*t! Let him be alright please..

I don't have Mason's number.

I thought of dialling Dave's number but it would not be a good idea to disturb him at this night.

I should call Mel..

I dialled her number.

She picked up the phone on the first ring.

''Hey birthday girl! Whats up?'' She asked in a cheeeful voice.

''Umm.. Mel do you have Mason's number?'' I asked trying to control my nervousness.

''Liz? Are you alright? Why are you panicking?'' She asked in a concerned voice.

''Mel..i really need it right now..please give it to me then i will tell you everything sometime.'' I pleaded.

''Okay fine. Note down the number.''

I noted it down and then dialled.
He was not receiving it.

Damn!! Where are you both?

I was pacing around the room.

I dialled again and again but there was no response.

I threw the phone on my bed and sat with both of my hands palming my face.

I heard the ringing of my phone and i hurriedly picked it up.

It was Mason.

''Hi..where is he? Is he alright?'' I asked panicking.

''Excuse me Ma'am? I think you have dialled the wrong number.'' He said.

''Are you Mason?'' I asked.

''Yes. Who are you?''

''Umm..i..i am Liza.. Liza Miller. P.A of Mr. Ashton.'' I said calming my breaths.

''Oh.. do you need anything Miss Miller?''

''No..i want to know where is he...i mean.. Mr. Ashton..''

''Sorry Miss Miller but Mr. Peterson has given me strict instructions to not to tell anyone about his whereabouts.'' He said sternly.

''Hmm... okay please tell me if he is...safe..'' i asked closing my eyes.

''Umm..about that you don't have to worry because he is safe with me. But.. i think he is not in a good mood... he is drinking too much.'' He said sighing.

''Oh.. thank you.. take care of him.''

''Okay bye.''

I ended the call and lie down on my bed.

Why did he bring me a dress?

I remembered Mel's word.

He is a nice guy.

At the party she told me about how he helped her. She was only seventeen when she was pregnant with the child of her ex. He cheated on her. Her parents threw her out of the house. Her ex declined that he was the father. She spent somedays at one of her friend. Then one day she decided to abort the child so she went to the maternity hospital.

She was sitting on the bench outside of the gynecologist's office when suddenly James came outside while holding a girl by her arms. He pushed the girl hard and she held the wall for support.

He was shouting at her and she was crying.

(Flashback)

Mel's P.O.V :

''You gold digger b****. What do you think that i will believe you?
I was drunk but i was confident that i haven't done anything that night but no you had to create a scene in front of my parents. What was going in your mind? That i will make you my wife? You are a b**** and this is the proof of your lying.'' He shoved the reports in her hands.

He turned around and looked at me. I shivered under his gaze. My eyes were red by the constant crying.

He went away from there and soon the girl was gone too.

I sighed and wiped my tears. I was not wanting to abort my child but i didn't have any work. I was all alone. How would have i raised my child. All those things were the reason why i was there.

I heard footsteps which faltered after reaching beside me. I looked up to see the man who came out with a crying girl a few minutes ago.

''Where are your parents?'' He asked sternly.

''I..i..am alone.'' I said trying to control my hiccups.

''And may i know why?'' He asked rubbing his jaw.

''No. It is none of your business.'' I said as i was not interested in talking to someone especially a male creature.

''How old are you sixteen or seventeen? And you are here. Wow! Seems that you have got the best upbringing by your parents.'' He said mocking at my condition.

How could he?

''Look Mr. Who ever you are. It is my problem. My f***ing life. Go and f*** your life.'' I said giving him a dangerous look.

''But i think what you are going to do is not f***ing right. You are going to kill a child.'' He said with anger in his voice.

''That is none of your business. It is my child and when his father don't give a sh*t about it then who are you to tell.'' I stood up and said it on his face.

''Look girl. I am neither interested in you nor in your life. But you can't kill a child..and when it is quite mature.'' He said looking at my belly.

''It is only three months.'' I said looking at the ground.

It was not that my belly was showing any bulge.

''I could help you if you want.'' He shrugged.

''How?'' I asked hopefully.

''It depends on..what problem you are facing..''

''But why are you helping me?''

''Because since i have arrived here i saw you sitting on that bench. You were not going inside and almost five person whose appointments were after yours including me went inside. I assumed that you needed some help as you were not with any elder person and you are not willing to abort.'' He explained.

And then after knowing my condition he gave me the job in one of his company as a receptionist. I was not qualified much but he forced his father to hire me.

And Rick came in this world because of him. He treated me like a sister. And soon his family started liking me as a daughter.

Liza's P.O.V :

I think he is a go...

I heard the ping sound of my message tone. I swiped it open.

From: Mason

I thought that i should inform you about this...that..we are on the way to your apartment.

Sh*t! Why is he coming here again?

To: Mason

Where are you now?

I stood up from the bed and went to the hall room.

Should i wake up Diego?

But what will i say to him?

James still doesn't know that Diego is living here.

Should i make him go out of the apartment for a night?

From: Mason

In the hallway of your apartment.

Sh*t!

I hurriedly went towards Diego's room and locked the room from outside.

Maybe James will not enter there...

The main door flew opened and he entered.

''James..''

That was the only word that i uttered before he claimed my lips.

He was kissing me roughly and pushed me towards the nearby wall. I was pressed into the wall by him.

I missed you...

Sh*t! What are you thinking Liz..

I was unable to breath as he was not breaking the kiss.

I tried to push him but he forced me more into the wall.

God! James i am not used to this...kissing thing...

I felt my legs giving up and my body started to became limp. He held me by my waist and broke the kiss.

I breathed in as much as oxygen as i could at a time. He was breathing hard too.

I put my head on his chest while trying to breath normally.

''WHO WAS HE?'' He shouted near my ear.

''Umm..D..Diego..'' i said breathlessly. My head was still on his chest.

He held both of my arms and made me looked at him.

''I thought i was wrong..but..NO..I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT! You are bl*** wh***. You are the worst b**** i have ever met until today.'' Tears started to formed in my eyes.

''James..please don't abuse...'' i said trying to stop my tears.

''Oh really? Why? Are you a nun? I never heard a wh*** explaining good manners.'' He left my arms with a jerk and fisted his hair in one hand.

''GOD!! I believed you. Sh*t! I shoudn't have.'' He again turned towards me.

''Are you feeling satisfied? Or i disturbed your love session that time? Sorry sorry! I didn't knew that you were WH***ING!!'' He shouted while throwing the vase in the ground.

I trembled in fear by looking into his eyes.

The vase broke with a loud noise and then...

Sh*t!

''Liza? Liza why is the door closed? What is happening? Are you alright?'' Diego shouted from inside his room while banging on the door.

I looked at the angry man in front of me who was looking directly at me. It seemed that the time stopped and we were not interested in breaking the eye contact anymore.
