Jen

I couldn't breathe, panically I gripped my pillow and struggled in my sleep for a while then I shakily woke up in a pool of sweat terrified of my nightmare. The nightmare ends waking me up often and left me with wet face from my unstoppable tears. I crawled from my bed slowly and went to bathroom, I splashed cold water on my face with shivering hands. I watched myself in the mirror and saw a broken girl. Who is she? Jen used to be lively happy girl, this girl has a face of Jen but she is not in her shell of body. I wiped my tears from my back hand, my pupil completely dilated in fear I stumbled at my place watching blood over my face. My breathing heaved, I gulped my salvia and peeped through my lashes over my hand, I squealed looking at my blood stained hand. I closed my eyes, tears smeared over my face, gathering some courage I bring up back of my hand to wipe the blood off my face, my legs gave up and I fell on the tiles. I embraced myself and started crying when I saw my reflection on the tiles, there is no blood, I am hallucinating again. Wrapping my arms around my knees, I tried to compose myself. It was just a nightmare, you are strong, it was an accident and for the last time you didn't kill your father. I took deep breathe the way my psychiatrist has advised, calm down Jen. I...I.. didn't kill my father, it was an accident.

When I cooled little, I got up slowly on my trembling legs, took the medicine from drawer and gulped it with cold water. I sat on the edge of the bed looking nowhere, slowly my breathing came back to normal. It has been a year, yet the dreadful memory of that day can't leave me alone. The continue session with psychiatrist are not helping, the horrified and hurt face of dad still comes in front of my eyes, the nightmare became my shadows, it is hard to live with your sin.

Next morning, I'm up for the work, this is the only thing which gives me a reason to live. I was clueless when I came to this city but fortunately I bumped to Mrs. Karen. She is a lovely woman and as lonely as me. Her husband died few years back leaving her alone with crashed business and a huge debt to pay. Instead of paying the loan by selling the sunken business, she was trying to retrieve her business and get this on a right track investing her left over savings because she wants to live for her husband's dream. Anyway, this is how we met, she was running Event Company and luckily this was the only thing I know. I joined her and started working with her, we poured our days nights with hard work which now showing us the results. It's not a big but small event company which is completely fine with me as it doesn't grab eyeballs of paparazzi. I have a fear of getting caught by them, till now I succeed to hide myself but this upcoming new project with Richards scaring me to the death.

Mrs. Karen has fixed up the appointment with them excitedly, she knew the big event companies are already in radar to deal with them but she believes in God. According to her, God is giving them a chance to pay off all the debts, I didn't have a heart to deny her hopeful eyes. Honestly, I thought they will not even consider us being a low key event planner. Although Mrs. Karen was right, opportunity itself came to her door knocking. Mrs. Karen gives me all the credit of it but for me it's her belief and devotion which made this possible.

I checked myself once more in the mirror, now instead of broken girl there is a confident hard headed girl. The world should not know about the broken girl, this secret is between me and this mirror, every morning I locked that girl in this room and leave the place as a different girl who doesn't take anybody's shit and not get emotionally involved. Emotions are the way of your destruction, I have adapted this mantra in my life. I tied my hair in tight pony tail, loose light green top and jeans, perfect.

When I reached the office, everybody started settling on their place, they bitches about me on my back but it doesn't matter to me as long as I get the impressive result. I knocked Mrs. Karen's cabin door, peeking inside.

"Doll, you don't have to knock, you know" she said sweetly, I gave her small smile.

"You are my boss, this is my duty to respect you" I politely answered.

"When will you stop calling me boss, this is your business too doll. I was mess a year back, doesn't know where to take this cracked business and god sent me an angel." She said pointing me, my vulnerable heart always warmed up with her sweet words. Yet I didn't give her a place in it, emotions are destructive.

"I'm not an angel and there is no god Mrs. Karen, you hired me when I was not having any experience and paid me a decent amount to survive here, in return I worked hard." I told her tartly and instantly regret watching her dropped face.

"An angel face with spiteful mouth I got accustomed with" she brushed off my attitude with tender smile, I really like this woman. Sometime she reminds me of my mom, no Jen don't look back.

"Mrs. Karen, I met with Mr. Richards and I am not comfortable about it" Mrs. Karen looked at me concernedly.

"Did he misbehave with you? We will sue him, don't worry, let me talk to my attorney" did I tell you she is very impatient women, always jumped to the conclusion.

"No" I grabbed her phone which she was dialling angrily "Again you cut me in between, I didn't mean that" I stared her sharply, she shrugged her shoulder innocently.

"I zipped my mouth, tell me what's making you uncomfortable?" then I told her everything what we discussed, her eyes sparkled with the excitement hearing the deal, she wanted to interrupt me but I narrowed my brows indicating her Do not interject.

Once I finished I looked at her for reaction, and instead of talking she is silently watching me.

"What? Why are you mum now?" I became very short tempered women, this is the reason people called me Vixen and I don't mind as I had heard worst in my past.

"You asked me to shut my mouth" I raised my eyebrows in irritation which made her laugh, she was deliberately teasing me to snap.

"Actually I was thinking what's wrong in the preposition, they want us to work closely with them for keeping their track on us, it's logical, they are taking a chance by giving us this contract for this we should be thankful and surprisingly they hiked up our payment. I must say this is our golden opportunity." She has a point but my instinct saying something is wrong in it, that day when I was talking to Ms. Watson, I freaked out completely and busted out on her, in reality I wanted nothing but to run from that place as I felt the presence of him. This sound crazy, it might be my imagination but my heart is very sure he was there, very close to me.

"What happened doll? You are zoning out again" I jolted out of my trance, I shook my head.

"Since we approached this project you are very skeptical about it. If you don't want to work on this project, I won't force you. We can take more works rather than working on a single project." She assured me with her vibrant smile. I know why she is saying? Recently I have been acting weird...How would I tell her, Ryan Richards, this name sounds familiar to my past? When she announced about this project, firstly I goggled his name and did my research on him. There was nothing mentioned about Rick Adam for my relief and I decided to step in. But again, my instincts are warning me. However, I cannot let my past come in the mid of her success.

"I guess you are right, this is a golden opportunity for us. This may help me to buy new car, my old second hand car already draining my bank account because of her high maintenance." Mrs. Karen's face brightened up.

"Are you sure doll?" I nodded and she quickly grabbed me in her arms. Everything will be alright Jen, you cannot allow your past to cut your wings.

I have informed Mr. Richards about our decision and finalized the contract. He briefed me about his project, Mr. Richards is very charming man and knows exactly how to behave around ladies. Sometimes Mrs. Karen teases me over Mr. Richards, saying go grab him, he is hot, when I throw angry glare on response, she playfully says go lose yourself, you really needed and I heard he is damn good on a bed. No use of talking to her, numerous times she tried me to set up with random guys when I have clearly told her I'm not looking for any relationship. One day I lost my patience and threaten her that I will leave this job if she tries anymore hooks up for me which made her stop eventually. But she doesn't know, I have nowhere and nobody to go, the saddest part I have a sister who hates me. I'm grateful of Daniel who always updates me about her wellbeing, somewhat I felt connected to her, my only family.

After a week I went to Richards with my plans, they made me wait in conference room almost four hours then Ms. Watson came saying Mr. Richards left and asked me to drop the presentation file. I seriously don't know why she always came with the negative news, I can see her dislike for me which is not new in my case. Four hours for nothing, next week when I reported to their office Mr. Richards doesn't look impress with my presentation. He added few more points in the arrangement, he asked me to sit in one of his office cabin to go through on the left out points. Whole day I did nothing than reading his company's information, I requested him to let me take the information with me at my office as I was not comfortable in their place, especially in this cabin around the surveillance which he has ignored completely. Again next week I came with the preparation but history repeats, he added few extra points which resulted me sitting there in a same cabin for whole day. On my third visit when he told me to add few more points, I bluntly asked him why he didn't mention in his last meet then he broke the news about his partner of this project, these were his inputs. I urged him to fix an appointment with his partner, unfortunately he was out of station which caused me repeatedly rework on my project. Trust me after working on same details for a month, I didn't need to refer any file for information, everything printed in my mind. Even Ms. Watson started giving me a sympathy look and started offering me her hand make coffee, the fragrance of her coffee doesn't allow me to refuse and I gladly accepted her coffee. I didn't know why we both started on a wrong note, she seems to be nice girl. Anyways, I'm not here for making friend.

Today once again I'm locked in their office cabin, while going through their company's detail my gaze unconsciously turns towards the cameras. I know somebody may be monitoring through surveillance but instead of camera I felt somebody's eyes continuously watching my every movement. Whenever I step into this cabin, automatically I became conscious. I am getting paranoid day by day with this surveillance.

They arranged everything for me in this cabin, lunch, coffee and snacks. I told them not to bother about me yet they send them on my every visit, last week I decided to go out for a lunch to kill time when the Marketing head generously offered me to join Jenny and him for a lunch. Unfortunately I couldn't go out with them as Ms. Timmer told me their scalled famous partner expected anytime here to meet me, which was not happened because he couldn't make it.

Today I am not able to concentrate at all on my work, I glanced over the camera once again. Enough, I got up from the seat and walked towards camera, I watched dumbly on the lenses. I felt somebody's stares, without thinking more I tiptoed over my heels and touched the camera to get rid of these uncertain feelings, but it went drastically wrong, a cold chill run across over my body, my heart beat raced and beat pretty hard in my chest. My body trembled when my finger twitched not with the touch of cold glass but with the unknown electrifying sensation. Instantly I pulled my hand and walked out from the Richards, not bothering to inform anyone. I am going to be insane here, the old memories sneak out of my eyes and rolled over my cheeks, why can't he leave me alone? Then I have decided not to stay in that cabin at any cost...

Rick

If one month before somebody has asked me to sit in this cabin for whole day, I would have punched him and leave this cabin, for now I can't say the same thing. My messed up dull life has got the mission, my reason to live, my life, sitting under the same roof few cabins away from me. The day I saw her in this office with Jenny, time froze for me. It has been a year I saw her last, I numbly stood behind them observing her. She has completely transformed into another person, her brown hair has the chocolate brown highlight with the subtle gold, I wanted to touch her hair and feel its texture. She was wearing little makeup on her face, she was looking more beautiful than ever. My soft timid Jen has changed drastically and doing very well without me. When I was destroying myself every moment in her memory, she was glowing beautifully in her world. It made me very angry...I was completely mesmerized by her presence that I didn't hear their conversation, I awaken from my faze when they all moved to Ryan's cabin. From the short overheard conversation, I found Jenny was referring her Ms. Davis... the event planner...then I remembered she used to love arranging the event things.

I called Ryan from there itself and offered him my partnership, I trapped her in this deal. Every week she came with her innovative thoughts and I add few more things to make her rework on her plan. I arranged a cabin for her, this was the real fun, the whole week she works on my new points and I spent whole week to look for new more points. So, I can see her whole day sitting before me, technically through camera. She looks cool while entering the company but she got nervous stepping into cabin, sometime I found her getting restless watching the cameras and she became rigid. My heart says she can feel me over a mile, we have an undeniable connection.

Not only look her behaviour has also changed, the soft spoken caring girl has replaced by a sassy girl and honestly I don't mind her sass. I'm waiting for the day when I see her face to face, how she would react. She would be happy to see me or will be angry, I don't know, for now I want to keep her near me. She kept me away for a year, she deserves one month wait. I enjoyed her predicament from loaf, today she is behaving strangely. She kept glancing over cameras, suddenly she got up and stomped towards camera. Even I leaned over the monitor to see her next move, she tiptoed on her heel and touched the screen. I craved for her touch, unknowingly my fingers traced her fingers movement though there is barrier of screen yet I felt the connection. I felt static humming in my blood when her brown eyes stared me on screen monitor, my nerves are shooting though me like crazy. I felt a lump hitched in my throat when I saw her eyes so full of sadness and an emotion that I couldn't identify. A sad smile curved on my lips, she can run from the world but how could she escape from herself, she didn't know I reside in her soul.

We cannot touch each other, she couldn't even see me but her heart has felt my presence, God I missed her. Part of me wants to go and fetch her in my arms and show her how much I need her in my life and how much I starved for her love. But instead, I stay rooted in my chair because I know she will again run away from me. I have to bide my time until the perfect time.

She has seen my hatred, my revenge and my crudity, sadly I never had a chance to show my love as I always denied and avoided my emotions for her. And when I realizedmy feelings, it was too late. Destiny never played fair with us, it finds a way to apart us but not anymore. She has to be with me, with or without her choice.Last time I gave her a chance to free off me and warned her not to be found because if I find her I never let her go... unfortunately she herself bumped to my wayand signed her to devil. She has not yet seen my depth and craziness for her, I would cherish her for a life if she would accept my love but if not than she has to endure my madness...As promised I will never let her go from me, sweetheart buckle up your seats tight, we have a long way to go.. Because Jen you are my one and only love, My Intense Love
