The next morning was fucking hell.366Please respect copyright.PENANAH9V3Z2ZFwv
366Please respect copyright.PENANA3H4Xr8pBud
I felt as if I had been run over by a damn truck and as soon as the light hit my eyes I was sprinting across the room to vomit violently in my bathroom.366Please respect copyright.PENANAswXeTL5Dtd
366Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ZSRSHngA
I've never been the kind of girl to go to tons of parties and do drugs. The most I ever did was drink here and there with my brother.366Please respect copyright.PENANAKaLYfJhK1V
366Please respect copyright.PENANArJaWPQ5I7F
I can't believe I actually did cocaine last night. What the fuck was I thinking?366Please respect copyright.PENANAp5JXXiHVNo
366Please respect copyright.PENANA40Jdr0kdjl
Part of me did feel pretty amped up from the fact that I took such a huge risk but the other part of me knew this wasn't me.366Please respect copyright.PENANA26VvXfrrFk
366Please respect copyright.PENANAITtvgYkHgf
What was considered normal for me now?366Please respect copyright.PENANAF3sR64EhQq
366Please respect copyright.PENANAugCfUJAAdV
I have no family, I think I deserve one free pass to do something stupid.366Please respect copyright.PENANAZLgON17E9D
366Please respect copyright.PENANAex4O2vDLIg
"Hey, Robbie! Are you okay in there?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAwl4ZzoXnIt
366Please respect copyright.PENANA5VDPUNkVrt
I lifted my head weakly as May's voice came from the other side of the bathroom door. "Yes, one second."366Please respect copyright.PENANA4eGniYuVBK
366Please respect copyright.PENANAd32G1Bv4S3
I wiped my mouth off and hurried over to the sink to gargle some mouth wash and try to brush the nasty vomit and alcohol taste out of my mouth.366Please respect copyright.PENANAjMaeo9Uv1c
366Please respect copyright.PENANArt8Y1Ol2mi
I caught sight of my appearance and nearly died by how disgusting I looked. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAEAfUo3Sb6l
366Please respect copyright.PENANAwtpuK9Iw5P
I was still dressed in my tiny black crop top and jean shorts. My hair was a tangled mess and the makeup I had tried to apply was smeared sloppily across my face in a mix of sweat and saliva.366Please respect copyright.PENANAJpe59EyMU3
366Please respect copyright.PENANA9rBm8j0XTC
I groaned and tossed my hair up into a ponytail without brushing it before opening the door to find May waiting patiently.366Please respect copyright.PENANAiwZEEtw0AK
366Please respect copyright.PENANAA4XuuLuBEG
She looked me up and down, frowning. "What were you thinking?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA0f1sPMYNDf
366Please respect copyright.PENANAnhlG0AINGq
"I just wanted to have some fun," I said and pushed past her grabbing the medication and water that had been left out. "Is it a crime to be a teenager, May?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAo7g0m4VdOf
366Please respect copyright.PENANA6h2Cjz6qfg
"Well, when you are under a contract-"366Please respect copyright.PENANA6T68JWrLDi
366Please respect copyright.PENANAtpRuXtUx1X
I cut her off, "Stop! Please. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the contract and his rules."366Please respect copyright.PENANAgwpAItuBD2
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXZnMrDE3z9
She glared at me, "Robbie, you knew what this entailed."366Please respect copyright.PENANAVpisohqN1G
366Please respect copyright.PENANAbzz42Yxsht
"Yeah! Yeah!" I snorted and pulled some clean clothes out of the dresser. "Big, scary Kalon Wolfe out to kill everyone and control them like robots."366Please respect copyright.PENANArqtMXVqnbP
366Please respect copyright.PENANAULM8L9hEaY
"Without that scary, controlling man you could've been killed last night." She snapped at me.366Please respect copyright.PENANANzYs9CbuwE
366Please respect copyright.PENANA5BD6qE3MiQ
I stared at her, "What do you mean?" I asked, confused.366Please respect copyright.PENANAnxzY0dIYZx
366Please respect copyright.PENANAlM6gq0zKXd
"You don't remember?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ddq061P7U
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvDufi4t9Hn
I shook my head, "Not at all... I blacked out after we went on the dance floor."366Please respect copyright.PENANAjNuylu3QtF
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1mOoKZIDAj
She laughed and sat on the edge of the bed. "You apparently got into an altercation with a very drunk man. Landon said he saw you try to run out a back door but instead, you ran right into Mr. Wolfe himself who was there to bring you home."366Please respect copyright.PENANA81AbjCmEJs
366Please respect copyright.PENANAR87RZ56sch
"He came there?" I asked slowly. I tried to recall last night's events and couldn't seem to really piece much together.366Please respect copyright.PENANANIhPMiQGG2
366Please respect copyright.PENANA2LpgGNg5bA
She nodded, "Yes, he was absolutely furious. You're lucky he didn't decide on a worse punishment."366Please respect copyright.PENANArOLevUvGYU
366Please respect copyright.PENANAOiXWqHGDSZ
"Punishment?" I scoffed.366Please respect copyright.PENANAkxiyjJwqbI
366Please respect copyright.PENANANtY2yAHZyM
Am I fucking five years old? 366Please respect copyright.PENANAb8DUrZV8Og
366Please respect copyright.PENANAo2nsPc8QJr
"You're not allowed to leave for a month," She said seriously. "Even with guards, he wants you to stay here."366Please respect copyright.PENANAjmJ4AvFEZT
366Please respect copyright.PENANAItV6wNHKQ2
"I'm an adult! This is insane," I snapped and ran my hands angrily through my tangled hair. "What happened to Carlos and Landon?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA1a3lL3DXDe
366Please respect copyright.PENANAfhuD6jMTCq
Her eyes narrowed, "Carlos has been put on a very serious probation and Jax will handle his brother. They shouldn't have influenced you to-"366Please respect copyright.PENANAcwPcxYWRi8
366Please respect copyright.PENANA6KRMXXM53G
"Stop there!" I shook my head furiously. "Just because you all think I'm this fragile little girl doesn't mean I'm unable to make my own choices. I'm the one that convinced them to go and I'm the one that said yes to the drugs."366Please respect copyright.PENANACd1SPWlgjw
366Please respect copyright.PENANArWDHNZHTET
"You could've been seriously hurt." She said sadly. Just hearing her disappointed tone was enough make my chest tighten.366Please respect copyright.PENANApxQxD3mmvP
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1vaHQeqt8D
"I'm sorry."366Please respect copyright.PENANAEIqgJZnOXU
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFQugT94WwX
She sighed and moved to pat my hand, "I forgive you, but you do need to meet with him today."366Please respect copyright.PENANALeXGguqAd0
366Please respect copyright.PENANAZ61Qgr6kPV
"Who?" I asked, but already knew what the answer would be.366Please respect copyright.PENANASikWetdVrO
366Please respect copyright.PENANAoj0iqr4Mfe
"Mr. Wolfe has requested a meeting with you in one hour." She said and stood up from the bed. "I suggest wearing something clean and getting the vomit out of your hair."366Please respect copyright.PENANAwiBCCDl4d6
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8GYoqn7bFZ
I frowned and sniffed my hair, "You're right."366Please respect copyright.PENANAtkprzzWQZC
366Please respect copyright.PENANAfijxS6OuzL
She shook her head at me and disappeared quickly from my room. I stood there silently for a moment trying to replay last night's events.366Please respect copyright.PENANAcNNeYNqtt3
366Please respect copyright.PENANAdOgk7cZBhS
Did I really meet Kalon Wolfe? Is that how I got home? What's he going to say during the meeting? 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5foW2zvH39
366Please respect copyright.PENANA79KWJ5i8Ul
Just the thought of being face to face with the man who literally made 200-pound bodyguards quake hearing his name was certainly intimidating.366Please respect copyright.PENANAEny8S1vGPV
366Please respect copyright.PENANA19lbuscpYb
"Keep it together," I whispered to myself as I hurried to the bathroom.366Please respect copyright.PENANAVvDGDc6ICS
366Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mus4xzew8
The heat of the shower did a good job clearing up my head fog, but I still couldn't recall enough from the club after the cocaine really did me in.366Please respect copyright.PENANA6mSldIPxXm
366Please respect copyright.PENANAtl6U8ZbFXL
I climbed out of the oversized glass shower and studied my features as I wiped the black makeup marks off of my face.366Please respect copyright.PENANAqDgkKFTkvo
366Please respect copyright.PENANACC08lHXZx4
My eyes were blood shot and I looked a little green-tinged. The definition of 'hot mess' certainly suited my morning look today.366Please respect copyright.PENANAP0N2a57C1d
366Please respect copyright.PENANAUl81abFCgH
I can only imagine how the boss had seen me last night. I'm just lucky he didn't decide to bury a bullet in my head after catching me in my bull shit.366Please respect copyright.PENANAKyAfuP17zZ
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1tnmNmka3U
I finished combing out the tangles and freshening myself up as much as I could. I decided on a simple white blouse, a black pencil skirt, and a pair of flats for my little meeting today.366Please respect copyright.PENANARRug7PVXba
366Please respect copyright.PENANAw8bu4aVPiC
I took a deep breath and turned to head out of the room just as Mr. Williams entered nearly running into me.366Please respect copyright.PENANA5CKG6bj3Vc
366Please respect copyright.PENANAuaYZV5FR0H
"Sorry, Ms. Quinn!" He chuckled and helped steady me. "I came to walk you to Mr. Wolfe's office."366Please respect copyright.PENANAqTI0cUZK9S
366Please respect copyright.PENANAdN8JEVNcsy
"Is it hard to find?" I laughed uneasily.366Please respect copyright.PENANA4RXM1aJzGt
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXdbkF0Pa7T
"These halls get confusing."366Please respect copyright.PENANAMNnfBpxzp2
366Please respect copyright.PENANAe4sBjBCUJK
I nodded but didn't say anything else as he led the way down the stairs. Ever since I moved in I did my best to keep to one side of the estate.366Please respect copyright.PENANAENmmk3rMMX
366Please respect copyright.PENANAeO9yJAEGNL
There had even been weeks where I wouldn't see anyone aside from when I assisted May for meals. When she didn't need me, I'd usually hole myself up in my room and just think about Josh.366Please respect copyright.PENANAfNjXRkWSph
366Please respect copyright.PENANAPhAGbGQJHx
I missed him so much. I thought about him every single day.366Please respect copyright.PENANAFDxnXlDybD
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8CgNoO292C
I'd do anything to trade places with him.366Please respect copyright.PENANAQAMFVBplb5
366Please respect copyright.PENANA6hLJkfeiQD
He deserved a long, happy life. He was a good person.366Please respect copyright.PENANAYZCzW2bfoj
366Please respect copyright.PENANAqQthJQAVrm
I'm just...Robbie Quinn.366Please respect copyright.PENANAQDZjqTmm9X
366Please respect copyright.PENANA5sfFMYcOaK
A loser. A nobody.366Please respect copyright.PENANA1KEXHoM3L1
366Please respect copyright.PENANAqRtFoOpwlQ
"Alright, Ms. Quinn," Mr. Williams said as we approached an unfamiliar hallway. "Make sure you don't speak until he begins, stay professional, and ensure him there will be no repeat of last night."366Please respect copyright.PENANAjlbmeCYnJi
366Please respect copyright.PENANASIC43XsWZY
I nodded my head slightly. The nausea was creeping back up my throat again.366Please respect copyright.PENANAFjX0jCePV5
366Please respect copyright.PENANAkiY9czc9Cz
He smiled, "It'll be okay, I promise."366Please respect copyright.PENANAMonUs1pqU7
366Please respect copyright.PENANAJqIem38uVO
I gave him the best smile I could muster up in response before he patted my shoulder and headed back down the hallway.366Please respect copyright.PENANAOHwGYUwdTK
366Please respect copyright.PENANAo25DY3LasY
I was alone.366Please respect copyright.PENANAQS8Cr4zLyF
366Please respect copyright.PENANA6FwWL0CkjN
Alone and standing in front of Kalon Wolfe's office door. His name neatly sprawled across it on a tiny, silver plaque.366Please respect copyright.PENANAZgtayZmgJq
366Please respect copyright.PENANAHqEiugA3Zn
Fuck me. 366Please respect copyright.PENANA8exVqBMZXX
366Please respect copyright.PENANAqlLgBS55J0
I reached out and knocked lightly against the door. My heart was pounding so loudly I was almost he'd hear it immediately.366Please respect copyright.PENANAUznNV6AmPp
366Please respect copyright.PENANAS41641hqsb
Several moments passed before the door opened and I was greeted by a very unfamiliar face. A young female with pretty onyx curls and dark eyes smiled kindly at me.366Please respect copyright.PENANAfHXblHwfQl
366Please respect copyright.PENANA9jgUY3uREN
"Roberta Quinn?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA0CwrHHLQlu
366Please respect copyright.PENANAAZiqimvugw
"U-uh. Y-yes?" I stammered like an idiot.366Please respect copyright.PENANAsC6B6MdiQ9
366Please respect copyright.PENANAf7PaWQPD9o
She nodded and motioned for me to follow her into the office. Inside it was just as I imagined it would be for a young billionaire.366Please respect copyright.PENANApiW31OLZQ8
366Please respect copyright.PENANAq4WP14pViB
He had several stunning paintings hanging on each wall. Some of them portrayed what I only assumed was him laying among tigers. If he was as beautiful as the paintings depicted him, I was in for an interesting afternoon.366Please respect copyright.PENANAmRjvLjA1jY
366Please respect copyright.PENANAnbcmolI7Il
"Mr. Wolfe will be with you shortly," The girl said and pulled out a chair. "Would you like anything to drink?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAS1KLM5MmGZ
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvOwIwCjIyi
"Water...please?" I said quietly.366Please respect copyright.PENANA9gGpSMaEfQ
366Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pooy985Yo
She laughed a little and quickly disappeared behind another door on the opposite side of the room.366Please respect copyright.PENANARHL15BdShL
366Please respect copyright.PENANAF47P1tHJOv
I sat down in the oversized chair and admired the room. Everything looked to be so perfect and clean.366Please respect copyright.PENANAbV12yHjQx5
366Please respect copyright.PENANAVy4GkQEukb
He sure likes organization.366Please respect copyright.PENANAZORaYtrRcV
366Please respect copyright.PENANAZdhrpRMF8H
"Here you are."366Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Rh2ueAsB
366Please respect copyright.PENANAD37rFvWFiR
I gasped and nearly jumped out of my seat as the girl returned carrying a glass of ice water.366Please respect copyright.PENANAH6GWz32s9J
366Please respect copyright.PENANAcDd1vAMWEY
"I'm so sorry!"She apologized and sat it on a coaster. "I should've spoken up."366Please respect copyright.PENANAIqyqp2vR6K
366Please respect copyright.PENANAr827x3Dh1k
I shook my head, "No, you're fine. I'm just jumpy today."366Please respect copyright.PENANA1ngsoFa0oM
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvad8lFwBiv
"No, I r-"366Please respect copyright.PENANAmNNXG9JDN5
366Please respect copyright.PENANAmjzRE3gqrw
"That will be all, Ms. Ramirez," A voice stated from behind me. "Please leave."366Please respect copyright.PENANAYWguPX9tOy
366Please respect copyright.PENANAp5zgEOqqyz
She looked up at him nervously and mumbled several more small apologies before hurrying out of the room. If she had a tail, it definitely would've been tucked between her legs.366Please respect copyright.PENANAPt7CjdN4nQ
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvGhXORE8LU
"Ms. Robbie Quinn," He spoke casually as he moved. "Pleasure to meet you...sober."366Please respect copyright.PENANA9boaaEmQJF
366Please respect copyright.PENANAYwvbnQvYno
I tried to laugh a little in response but stopped as soon as he came into view.366Please respect copyright.PENANAEi2dpYsyEG
366Please respect copyright.PENANAIuYAu3KJjV
He was impossibly perfect. I have never seen a human so unbelievably sexy in my life.366Please respect copyright.PENANA7H7qTDpOB5
366Please respect copyright.PENANAsClFbCLK2P
His steel eyes rested lazily on me as he adjusted the edges of his shirt and raked his tattooed fingers through his dark hair.366Please respect copyright.PENANAIaRfgMpcRR
366Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Xlyvhuh3
I noticed several tattoos scattered across his neck and sides of his skull. Everything about him was so sculpted and put together.366Please respect copyright.PENANAgKjDFMRj3m
366Please respect copyright.PENANAupvOHNyBqi
This was a man of power.366Please respect copyright.PENANAkmr7k5zOls
366Please respect copyright.PENANA4TJlYm6VAb
"U-uh...yes, sir," I said awkwardly. "Nice to meet you."366Please respect copyright.PENANAogHLQhwo5B
366Please respect copyright.PENANAmBHf4w5DrQ
He nodded and sat down across from me, looking entirely too large and muscular for the tiny office chair.366Please respect copyright.PENANAPb4RmrAmwd
366Please respect copyright.PENANAhmuUDVCIxc
"Let's chat Ms. Quinn," He said as he crossed his arms behind his head. I couldn't help but notice the ridges of his arms busting through his suit.366Please respect copyright.PENANAc48kkHnEGu
366Please respect copyright.PENANAjg1ZOTEl8a
I nodded nervously, "Yes, sir."366Please respect copyright.PENANA2h4T3emfGy
366Please respect copyright.PENANAnOkOzedoW2
"Last night..."He started and raised a brow. "Cocaine?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAOn7GUFXQmo
366Please respect copyright.PENANA4fgMI47A3Z
My face heated up. "Y-yes."366Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ0vLryXNt
366Please respect copyright.PENANAUcBYCAXzOn
"Carlos and Landon took you there."366Please respect copyright.PENANAUHbO4egz41
366Please respect copyright.PENANAd7vIuVA6zf
"It's not their fault," I said quickly. "Everything was my idea. I wasn't forced into anything...I kind of...forced them to go."366Please respect copyright.PENANAJborLyaDpW
366Please respect copyright.PENANAdJVg6x9iNQ
He didn't acknowledge me. "I don't like my employees getting involved in things that could ruin my organization's image."366Please respect copyright.PENANA8AwTeWzKtn
366Please respect copyright.PENANABg4p6FXVuT
"I'm sorry, sir, "I frowned and looked awkwardly at my shaking hands. "I'll take the full punishment."366Please respect copyright.PENANAfVRt2o9WMk
366Please respect copyright.PENANAi9gmDgZJED
An uncomfortable silence fell between the two of us as my words weighed heavy. I couldn't seem to slow my breathing down and was beyond grateful when he finally cleared his throat.366Please respect copyright.PENANARt1arFm3JE
366Please respect copyright.PENANAe5l1gsZ37D
"Very well then," He stated and pushed away from his chair. I watched in silence as he walked across his office and stared out of his window. " Starting Monday, I'd like you to take the assistant role I have open."366Please respect copyright.PENANAbyNY2Jphm7
366Please respect copyright.PENANAHQtaa88wt7
I stared blankly at his back. "I thought that gi-"366Please respect copyright.PENANAwAtOCMFKgy
366Please respect copyright.PENANAfpbh3pjJFZ
He shook his head and turned to face me. My heart fluttering as soon as his eyes locked onto me. "I have several assistants, but I'd like you to take this role."366Please respect copyright.PENANAy3zRWTeb9Y
366Please respect copyright.PENANAUhV6MhVxGW
"Y-yes, sir."366Please respect copyright.PENANAvFvTUofxeW
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z5XBu8DWD
He sighed heavily and tilted his head as his eyes roamed over me. I felt my body heat up again from his intimidating gaze and instinctively crossed my arms tightly over my chest.366Please respect copyright.PENANA6YiGfuu2Tm
366Please respect copyright.PENANAx030qFPZjv
Mr. Wolfe said nothing as he closed the distance between the two of us and placed his large hands around the arms of my chair. I held my breath as he leaned in closely, the scent of his intoxicating cologne washing over me like a wave.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtWLHcVM7e0
366Please respect copyright.PENANAYzJXkDYPX0
"I look forward to it Ms. Quinn." He mused softly. His voice sending a million shivers down my spine. "See you Monday."366Please respect copyright.PENANAixRT1bwO8m
366Please respect copyright.PENANAhkeUiPObUj
I did my best to force a robotic nod as he moved away in a blink of an eye leaving me breathing unsteady and trying to ignore the pit in my stomach.366Please respect copyright.PENANAxxOX6pmJ70
366Please respect copyright.PENANAo0gAVyw2hp
"Thank you, sir."366Please respect copyright.PENANAPwC4QiNWgl
366Please respect copyright.PENANAqdbvvH3Bvc
I stood up from the chair and quickly exited the room with my eyes on the floor. As soon as I was on the other side of his office door I let my body slide to the floor as my chest heaved. My head was spiraling and I had absolutely no idea what that was.366Please respect copyright.PENANAb7GsH8E4yf
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1gkLN0snF1
What...the...fuck. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAXKSJDpfDMW
