I rubbed my temple while going through the details, PR started advertising about this launch, the celebrity, high business profile and many more big personalities will be a part of this event, I had planned something exclusive for their entertainment, hope that would work. A great wine and dine always work, I smiled on the thought. I have finalized the invitation card, it needs the approval, my heart beat faster thinking about Rick, last time he made his presence very clear on this project. Again I have to face him, last time it didn't go well, its like playing with the fire. I couldn't control my nervousness around him, he still makes my heart raced up frantically, his intense stare makes me shudder, and I become more livid to him. I sighed in annoyance, a knock distracted me, after refusing many times I found once more my lunch has been ordered, I don't want to lunch inside this cabin, this time I returned the lunch and walked out of the cabin for a lunch, I desperately needed a fresh air.

I went to the nearest cafeteria, when I was looking for the table somebody waved his hand to me, I recognized him, he is the Marketing head and there is Jenny too. I headed toward their table, Leo pulled the chair for me.

"Hey, finally the princess decided to walk out of her castle" Leo joked in friendly way, I smiled hesitantly, Jenny laughed tapping on Leo's shoulder.

"Don't mind him Ms. Davis, he is chump" Leo frowned to Jenny, they both are very comfortable with each other, but it is awkward to me.

"No problem Ms. Watson" Leo laughed loudly, I looked uncertainly over him, did I use wrong words?

"What?" Jenny snarled.

"Common girls, why are you so formal, Jenny I expect better from you." He furrowed his brows, Jenny poked him with her elbow. I realised it was a wrong decision, I should better be having my lunch at my cabin rather than being sitting uncomfortable here.

"He is right Jenny, you can call me Jennifer" We both shared a tight awkward smile. During the lunch I silently listened their conversation, I got to know they both are very good friends, Leo is very funny guy, he cracks joke on everything, Jenny laughed hilariously on his every stupid joke, I didn't understand most of it...this is what a normal people do Jen, they enjoy every moment but why you can't be like them, why I feel like a third wheel. They must be thinking the same..

Once the lunch over, Jenny left to grab something for Ryan, Leo accompany me till the office. I forgot how to response the male company, he leaded the conversation. We stop near my cabin, he opened the door for me in a gentleman manner.

"I enjoyed your company, you should come out more often" he flashed a cute smile, I didn't buy it, how did he enjoy my company when I was completely invisible there.

"Umm.. thanks" I smiled uneasily.

"You look beautiful when you smile but I want to see your real smile Jennifer, what stopping you?" I was taken aback with his bluntness, I didn't count him a keen observer but he caught me off guarded.

"Well that doesn't work for me, I have nothing to smile about" I replied sternly this time, he watched me unbelievingly, his curious eyes fixed on me for few minutes before a small smile broke on his lips.

"Then you should start looking for a reason, maybe it is standing on your door" he winked me mischievously, he looks more handsome when he is naughty, I was about to respond him but we interrupted by harsh voice.

"If your flirtatious conversation is over, I want to have a word with Ms. Davis" Rick murderously glared Leo, his eyes became stone. I was totally into Leo's conversation as I didn't notice Rick who is also standing on my door.

"Sure, I was about to leave." Leo glanced over me and winked me once more, before I could react Rick dragged me into my cabin and pinned me up against the door. I'm so angry, struggling under his hold, he became enraged at the fact I'm fighting him.

"Leave me" I protest, his face darkened, his blue eyes turned red. His dragger shooting eyes pierced into my soul, I couldn't control my pounding hearts, I trembled violently from inside but maintain a straight face to try to hide how he had affected me.

"What are you intend to do, Jen? You are flirting around on me" My breathing almost stopped, he accused me.

"Stop this crap, I was not flirting, and even if I was, it is none of your business" His hands pinned my wrist behind me and he pulled me close to him. He thrust his face towards me until his nose press against mine. "It is my business, you are paid here to work not to flirt around Ms. Davis" he gritted his teeth, his jaw ticked dangerously.

"I know what I'm doing Mr. Adam, now leave me" I tried to push him but his hold tighten. He nudged my neck with his nose, I felt my skin is burning with his small intimate touch.

He inhaled into my hair, his lips brushed on my earlobe "Don't make me lose my shit Jen, can't you see I'm trying" His threatening voice changed into begging, I shivered under his touch.

"Trying for what?" I snapped on him neglecting my body reaction towards him.

"Trying to get us back" he looked directly into my eyes.

"Getting us back, are you kidding me? Can't you understand we are over, Rick I have moved on, I can be with anyone whom I want, and you can't do anything about it" My words belted him in such a fashion, he became more brutal. His hand prints marked my wrist and I winced in pain.

"Stop, you are hurting me" I yelped in a pain, his eyes fired with anger, he groaned under the furious blow after shoving me away on the door. Ouch, I whimpered when my head bumped on the door, cruel, how could I forgot he is always been a cruel.

His back faced me, he is pacing in the room crazily, the room filled with his strong loud creak. I gasped when he suddenly banged on my table with his bare hands, a cracked noise of the glass make me worried for him, is he hurt? Then I glued at my place when he turned staring me helplessly, he look defeated.

"Don't push me Jen" his crushed voice knifed my heart, he paused for a moment then his lips curved into a bitter smile.

"Fine, you can push me away as you want but don't get close to any other soul, my heart can't bear it" His eyes watered, a painful sigh escaped from my mouth. Why he is making this difficult? We can't be together, he is doing this again, I can't be weak.

I controlled over my tears, this Jen will not fall for his convincing act "Rick, I'm saying for the last time, we are over. If you are thinking this pitiful act of yours will change my mind then you are wrong as it doesn't affect me anymore, you know why? because I don't love you anymore. Even I regret for loving you once, it was biggest mistake of my life" he cut me abruptly punching the table, this time his hand bleed with the cut. I stand breathless in terror, the pain etched across his face, not with the cut but with my words, he stepped in my direction, in  a fear I backed away.

"You don't love me anymore" His intimate eyes searched for mine, he came forward to me and I backed away until my back pressed to wall, there is no way to escape. I clutched my hands into fist to get a grip on me, my heart quickened, my stomach crunched, I couldn't breathe when he leaned to come at my eyes level.

"This closeness doesn't affect you" he sounded more compassionate than ever.

"Stop" I hissed, but even to my ears I sounded more breathy than I did angry. Damn, I am angry, he avoided my denial and brought his face more closer to mine, his fine hand traced my jaw, I jerked my head but he doesn't care, he caressed my cheek and stop after gently rubbing my quivering lips. There is no distance between us, I felt his hot breath on my skin, and his closeness enveloped me. Yet I shook my head.

"Let's test it, shall we?" he murmured on my lips, his hot breathed tickled my skin and made me break out into goose bumps. I would be damned if I'd give him the satisfaction of knowing how strongly his words and this intimacy affecting me, I shuddered when I got the hint where it is going, I wanted to stop him but I become numb when his lips touched mine, I felt my brain cells are not functioning anymore, unintentionally I closed my eyes, feeling his soft lips on mine, his hands cupped my face securely and I am compelled underneath his touch. He doesn't move his lips, his lips just pressed on mine, his breath becomes deep and heavy and suddenly his softness of lips disconnected from mine. In confusion I opened my eyes and found Rick glaring me with expressionless face, he scowls staring me.

"I thought it doesn't affect you anymore" I got offended and embarrassed with my reaction but more humiliated with his mockery comment.

"Jen, don't be stubborn and follow your heart, we have already wasted so much time running away from each other." his sorrowed eyes questioning me, he exhaled a deep sigh then started again.

"This is not easy for me to express my feelings but I'm trying, you taught me to pursue your love, then why you are giving up on us." He held my face between his hands, his eyes silently pleading me, my heart is melting on the sound of his anguish, he rubbed his nose with mine and his forehead rested on mine, like he always used to do, my tears rolled on my cheeks. I closed my eyes again, enjoying our heart beats, a feel of loved again enticed me but my mind distracted with the warm liquid on my skin, I opened my eyes and checked what it is? I noticed the red warm liquid, the blood, I hitched in a pain, the ache jolted in my body, a heart wrenching scream drilled in my ears, a live picture of dad's blood covered face comes before me and the guilt, the anger empowered me, this all happened because of this man whom I allowed to touch me, how disgraceful I am, instantly my body reacted and I pushed him away harshly from me.

"How dare you to touch me, I'm feeling violated by your touch, don't you ever come near to me Mr. Adam. If you ever touch me again, I will charge a legal case against you of harassment, do you understand" I shouted on him, he looks surprised, he couldn't utter a word, he moved towards me but I put my hands in between.

"I'm just tolerating your presence because of this project, a matter of a month then I don't want to see your face again, until then don't cross your limit Mr. Adam, I'm warning you for the last time, now please leave me alone." I yelled again.

"Jen" he wanted to say something but I abruptly glared him.

"I said leave me alone" he stared back me, his face is blank from shock, he look stunned and floored by my declaration. He didn't deny my words, didn't argue with me, he simply nodded and left me alone to deal with my shame. Angry, bitter tears filled my eyes as I realized that this happened because I let this happen. He won again by making me weak, I couldn't fight his touch, I couldn't resist his love, no this is so wrong. No, Rick.. we can't be together..  I cannot be with the person who made me kill my father.. No ...never... it is written in our destiny Rick....
