7.45am she groaned a little finally rolling her self of the mattress tossing the covers away from her body so she could perch on the edge of the bed gazing a little to the empty spot beside her, a spot that's growing colder with every passing day, she could hear the distinct sound of laughter from downstairs, the masculine voice echoing of the quiet rooms outside causing her to shake her head with annoyance.
Pulling herself from the bed she stepped to the curtains pulling them open to gaze outside the apartment window, seeing the vast blue skies above and the distinct sound of birds chirping somewhere in the distance at least was enough to bring a smile to her face, finally the harsh winter sting was fading and spring would soon be here, all though her moment of tranquillity soon vanished when another laugh rattled up the stairs causing her to groan again pulling herself away she headed to the bedroom door slamming it shut with a loud thud before making her way to the en-suite bathroom swiftly closing that door to in a attempt to drown out any noises Connor was making downstair, he infuriated her to no end, and she knew today would be no better.
Yet again another day of him lazing around playing games all day with his washed up friends, I mean really what did she expect? He had been this way for as long as she could remember, working minimally paid jobs just enough to get himself by, his whole outlook on life was completely polar opposite to her own, it almost made her question why she was even here sometimes, here she was driven by her work ethics and desire to improve and climb the academic ladder to prove herself to society….and to her father, and here he was with the o

7.12am she groaned inwardly, nothing like showing enthusiasm then getting her exceptionally early right? At least that was the Motto she was rolling with, her hand smoothed down the black skirt she was wearing, ensuring her white shirt was tucked in accordingly, her hajr was not down today instead she had it up in a perfectly assembled ponytail, she did after all despite all her teasing with her new boss wanted to make a good first impression.
Wasting no time she stepped up the building and slipped in, noticing the guards once more there she stepped up to the front counter where the receptionist was giving the young girl behind the desk a warm smile. " Good Morning, I was asked to come to the front desk to collect the items I need before I start work?"
The blonde woman peeked up from her computer screen, the tip of her finger pushing the bridge of her glasses up peeking to the time before back to the woman in front of her. " Larisa Bechtel I assume? It's wonderful to meet you, my Name is Rose Phillys…Here allow me to get what you need.." the woman moved herself across to open a drawer. " Here's your badge, and your security clearance key to gain access to the executive offices, also here is the username and password you will need to access the computer, once logged in it will give you the option to change them accordingly so their personalised to you, you are, a little early, but you can go ahead and get yourself settled upstairs help yourself to anything you might need before Mr King arrives.. "
Larisa smiled her dainty fingers reaching out to see the glimmering name badge already made just for her grasping the key she
8.17am so he was late the thought brought a bigger smile to her face as she considered getting to him about it, but maybe…just maybe she would behave for now, she didn't want to piss him of the instant he saw her, though she had a feeling it probably wouldn't take much to upset Mr up tight, as if he heard her inner thoughts the sound of the phone ringing on her desk caused her to jump with a surprise not expecting the sound, peeking down she saw his name lit up, moving to sit herself on the plush leather chair she reached forward clicking him to loudspeaker, she knew these types of phones she had worked with them many times over before so it was rather simple to use.

The following morning he woke up the same way. He got himself dressed, had a quick easy breakfast and decided this morning to drive himself in. Part of him wondered if he decided this to show Larisa that he could, in fact, drive himself into the office if he so wanted to. Another part recognized that it would be a beautiful day and driving his own vehicle sounded like a great idea. His car choice today that he pulled from the locked and secured garage of the penthouse building he lived in, was an elegant emerald green Aston Martin; sleek and sexy and it damn near purred as the car pulled into the parking lot of his building early that morning. Miles actually had his own parking space if he ever chose to utilize it, so he pull 1
Gone out for the evening, Matt wanted to show me his new gaming setup! Dunno when I'll be home so don't wait up
Larisa felt anger bubbling through her as she read the note, her fingers clutching it within her grasp she scrunched it up until it was nothing but a ball practically stomping across the kitchen she tossed it away, since when did he become such an ignorant asshole? She knew when…she knew exactly when all this started happening, when he shut himself away when his whole life changed so rapidly around her, at first she had sympathy she did…truly she did, but now, now that was wearing thin, nearly eight months down the line and she was beginning to run out of excuses for him, how long could she possibly stay this unhappy for? The anger soon turned to sadness, sadness that he couldn't even be bothered to be here to welcome her home after her first day at a new job, she thought he would at least be here for that…but he wasn't…she wasn't even angry now, she was just devastated, that he didn't ca 1

By morning, he was feeling chipper again. Thomas would be taking him into the office again, and thankfully he slept well enough to not feel so exhausted. After his shower, where he spent a little longer in the mirror, smiling at himself knowing that today would be a damned good day if he had anything to say about it, Miles began sifting through his closet for the right suit to wear to work. Today would be a soft warm gray color, a white dress shirt underneath and a black thin tie. His shoes shone black as well, and because it was Thursday he wore a black and gold Rolex watch. Miles only wore this watch on Thursdays when he had a board meeting to attend to, so it looked stunning against his suit with hardly the need for extra polish.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Once Miles was home, he dismissed Thomas for the night. He’d get a message when his services were needed again to pick them up in the morning for their flight out. Miles wasn’t sure what time yet, but that wasn’t new for the driver. He’d worked with Miles for years at this point and knew that being on call was just part of the job.
The penthouse was a flurry of activity when Miles stepped inside, a delivery driver there ready for his signature on the items he’d ordered while his maid staff were putting the grocery items away. He hadn’t been sure what exactly she would need, so Miles spent enough to make sure that she had whatever she could want. It didn’t take long for every invoice to be checked and every signature to be acquired before his house became silent again. Looking at his watch, he had just enough time left to change out of the stuffier suit into something a little more casual. It was after business hours after all, so he didn’t feel the need to wear a suit when picking up Larisa.
Miles pulled his warm gray suit off, something a little more formal that he’d wear on board meeting days specifically, and picked through his closet for something else. He ended up on a dark pair of jeans, a deep maroon v-necked shirt and a black blazer instead to wear. After sprucing up his hair and cleaning up the edge of his jawline on his face, Miles looked back at himself in the mirror and immediately felt a wave of confusion roll over him. This was his personal assistant, not some date, and yet here he was preening himself like a peacock ready for the dance. 1

The rays of the sun were what woke him first, shining gently through the window and hitting the white of the sheets and the sheer curtains of the four poster bed. Groggily he let his eyes open in a few slow blinks to clear the haze of sleep from them. The first thing that he saw was the image of the last thing that he gazed upon before falling asleep last night. She was still as beautiful as she had been before, her hair slightly tousled from any movement she had made in the night. For the most part, it seemed she had stayed close to him the whole night which Miles couldn’t have been happier about. The light from the sun played at her skin and the curls in her dark brown hair. How he had thought for even a moment that it had appeared to be that brilliant sunshine gold, Miles couldn’t understand. Though the image of her bouncing on top of him did nothing to help his morning enjoyment of her. His gaze never left her sleeping face, though a quiet playful smile came to his face.
As gently as he could to keep from waking her, Miles slid himself out from around her letting himself slide under the sheets and disappear beneath them. The man enjoyed the cuddling and the closeness of last night but he was determined to have a much better morning than the previous day and he expected this would be a fantastic way to wake her up. His arms coaxed her legs apart so he could rest himself between them, his lips dusting kisses against her abdomen while his fingers delicately pulled her panties down. He didn’t need them off, just far enough that he could get to what they hid so heinously from him, sliding one foot out and leaving them hanging around her other ankle. Any movement she made he paused, like a sneak thief looking to pilfer from an extravagant storefront. Only when she’d settle again would he continue, layering quiet kisses down her body until his lips found exactl 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1You would definitely have more fun if you was with me, I've come to Amalfi Plaza, it's so beautiful here I haven't been here for years, it's still as good as I remember, I'm heading back shortly though, so I can relax a little before tonight, How's it all going?
She sent her message before making her way to a small little stall selling some of her favourite desserts especially after she had a drink! Considering they were out tonight she thought maybe they might like these when they got back, well if he didn't she certainly would! She purchased some, placing them in a carrier bag. Putting her sunglasses back on she started making her way back towards the car, if she didn't now she knew she never would.
1Your to sweet Lupo, I'm just about to head back, I won't be long and I plan to relax before this evening, hopefully be able to join me…- Agnellino
She sent the message popping it back into her bag before she finished the short distance back to where the car was unlocking it she slipped those bags on the back seats, starting the engine she pulled out with the intention of heading back to the Villa , but of course taking those beautiful coastal roads to gaze at the scenery was to tempted to resist, the warm breeze blew through the window her hair whipping of her face as she watched the scenery as it flew past her window, the large cliffs ahead the beautiful homes perched carefully on that cliff, the waves she could just make out crashing against the beach, her fingers flexed on the steering wheel clutching it a little harder, god she really did miss it here, she really needed to come back soon, a lot longer than the weekend, and maybe…if things were how she hoped they would be Miles could return..

Miles just shook his head. There was likely going to be, and he wasn’t looking forward to it.

1 1 18.25am well it was nearly time, taking a deep breath she stood a little taller before knocking on the door, let's just get this over with. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1Larisa, I'm so sorry about yesterday, I behaved totally irrationally, I never meant to talk to you that way, I was upset and hurt that you could do this to me, and with…him. I know things haven't been perfect between us, I know they've been strained and maybe we can't move past this, but please...can't I have a moment with you? Just to talk, just to see how to move on. I hate how things ended and I just want to make it right, please come round and see me. Can I at least have a few moments alone with you? Can i at least have that?
His words had her chest ache desperately, whilst she had no intentions of getting back with Connor or trying again, she knew deep down they should at least try to end things between then what they did, she knew she would feel better and so would he, she chewed her bottom lip looking towards Miles office, there was no way he would let her go there on her own, at least she didn't think he would, and she wasn't about to lie to him…she sighed deeply showing her phone back In her bag, she could sort that out later right now she had stuff to do, as she turned around and make a start on the work she had.
@Fiory
1Thank you for your message Connor, you have to know how you behaved yesterday scared me, I had never seen you so angry and upset before, I hate knowing I've hurt you as much as I've had but I also don't want to leave things in such a bad light, despite everything I still care for you Connor even if I don't love you like I used to, I'll see what I can do, I'd like to at least sort our feelings and emotions out so we can both move on happily…but you can't drink Connor, if I find out you have that's it, I won't come again you get one chance okay? ….please look after yourselfGood Afternoon Agnellino. Thank you for working so hard today. We should discuss what to do with your…*Sheepdog*...and the items that he still has at your former residence. Perhaps over dinner tonight, if you’re up for it. I’m looking forward to trying your lamb (the, actual food.. Not just you.. Though I won’t say no to both). - X Lupo
@Amari 1 1Your very welcome il mio lupo, yes, we do have things to discuss in regards to that, definitely later over dinner, and maybe even with a glass of my nonni wine might be nice? I'm fairly sure your enjoy my homemade lamb just as much as me, though I wouldn't say no to you doing a comparison if you feel its necessary Lupo, I'll be leaving soon. Want me to leave without you? If so…how does this agnellino get into the il castello del lupo cattivo?I can’t wait… regarding entering the castello… come in here. I’ll give you the key. - Lupo
He messaged her back and set his phone down, leaning back in his chair for a moment while he stared at his computer. It dawned on him that this was the first time he’d ever given his key to anyone for his home. Anyone. Miles valued his privacy, and while he was certainly lonesome, and appreciated that Larisa was staying at the penthouse at least for the time being, this was still new territory. Do, I get a key made for her? Is that too much? She’s living there with me right now… but that’s not to say that she’ll want to stay like that… She could just be using it temporarily until she finds something herself… I won’t force her to stay… still…5.23pm she finally stretched back on that chair, her arms stretching over her before she leaned in, popping a few extra notes she wanted to write that she needed to do first thing before finally shutting her computer of, she popped the notepads nearly on the desk with her pens In the pot, grabbing her coffee mug she washed it up and left to dry before gathering her bag shoving it over her shoulder before making her way to his office.
She knocked as always before Stepping in, if he acknowledged her or not, her eyes caught him leaning against the desk that drink in his hands his ankles crossed at the front reminded her so much of that first day they met, she turned to push the door shut her fingers flicking the lock across just so she could have this e 1 1

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 14.40am
Unlike the nights before this night wasn't as peaceful as the others with Miles had been, not curled up against him anymore she was laying on her back, though her frame was anything but still her face contorted in deep frowns, her chest almost heaving with the deep breaths she took her forehead even had the slightest sheen to it, her mouth was moving as if she was saying something though no sound come out before suddenly she shot up, a gasp left her lips her eyes darting around the room before she realised where she was, her heart was hammering in her chest her body feeling stiff and rigid as her hand came up to run down her face, she hadn't had a nightmare in a long time, and that was the worst she thought she ever had.
Her eyes suddenly turned to gaze down at the body beside her, thankful at least that Miles appeared to be still asleep, frankly she didn't want him to see her like this, so freaked out and scared , she hated how vulnerable it made her feel, but also.how determined she was for no one to see it or have to deal with it, she knew she wasn't going to sleep again carefully she pulled the covers of her stepping out of the bed with delicate footsteps making sure he was covered the same way he was before she carefully stepped out of the room to head to the guest room…she needed a shower hopefully it would relax her mind and her body a little, she wasn't going to sleep….she may as well do something worthwhile, maybe today she would make him breakfast if she calmed her currently quivering nervous frame enough that was.
Stepping into the guest room she flicked the shower on, the Instant warmth rushing from the shower holding her hand under to make sure it was warm enough she stepped under sighing as the hot water hit her body, closing her eyes she allowed her head to rest against the tiles but All that did was allow those images to rush through her head of all that happened with his parents, their bodies….his reaction…the things he said to5:22am
Normally he was up by 5:30 so waking a few minutes earlier than that had his brows crease in irritation. Still there was no denying he was awake now, even if he did want to go back to sleep, there’d be no point. He was still coming to his senses when he turned his head to gently rouse Larisa when he realized she wasn’t there. A confusion fell over his face. He hadn’t dreamed last night, had he? No, it felt far too real to be a dream. But then, why did she leave? Where was she? As he slowly sat up and let the blankets roll off his chest and gather in his lap, he heard the pattering of the shower in the hallway. It was faint, but he would recognize that sound, though what perplexed him wasn’t the fact that she had left to take a shower. She just had decided to leave and take on in the guest bathroom instead of his. I’d have joined her if she had…maybe she was avoiding that… He thought, looking down at the space where Larisa had been sleeping. He could still see the indent of where her body had been curled up next to his and he blinked at it for a moment. Miles wasn’t sure how long she was in the shower, just that she was, which to him sounded like a good idea too.

1 1 1 1 Larisa - Just to let you know we will be popping over this afternoon sometime, probably late afternoon, we can talk then and I can get the rest of my stuff, I assume you're still okay for us to do that? Talk? I know there's probably a lot we Need to discuss and I'd like to at least give you the chance to talk to me, I know you want to.
She wrote to him sighing deeply as she placed her phone down on her desk, she pushed her chair back deciding she might make them both a coffee before she heard her phone go of again, reaching forward she brought it forward gazing to see Connor had already responded as she opened it up.Connor - We? I thought you were coming alone? That's what we decided right so we got a chance to truly talk?
her brows furrowed together at his response, truly talk…what did even mean? Truly talk about their past? Or truly talk about the situation? Either way it made her chew on her lip a little before she finally composed a message back.
Larisa - Miles will be coming with me but he will be waiting outside whilst we talk, I need some help getting all my stuff put away after all
of course that wasn't the only reason she wanted Miles there as a safety net she didn't know how Connor might get and she wanted him there just incase, she gazed at her phone waiting for that quick response but it didn't come, at least not for a while she pondered why and was about to push her chair back before it dinged again and another message came through.
Connor - Yeah, I guess you do. I'll see you later, I'm looking forward to seeing you
was all he said and Larisa found no need to respond to that message instead she did finally pull her self up stretching as she made her way to the coffee machine deciding to make her and Miles a coffee she was also starving not having eaten breakfast she felt rather peckish and decided she would go for lunch and she wondered if Miles wanted anything, holding the coffees she made her way to his office day cautiously knocking before she stepped in, her eyes falling to him as he sat on that couch looking incredibly comfortable she couldn't stop the small smile that came to her to see him like that.
" I'm sorry if I disturbed you Mr King, here I got you this…" she said handing him the coffee if he wanted it there or putting it wherever he wanted it, still clutching hers she took a sip of it. " I'm going to grab some lunch, would you like me to pick you up anything? "

Bentley’s being towed. On my way with Jaguar to the Penthouse. Will wait there for instructions.
“Good lad..” He said gently, before he turned to Larisa. “Thomas will be home soon…Do you want him to bring a change of clothes for you? So you’re not in your wet dress anymore?” He asked, though the idea of the young man going through Larisa’s closet to find something for her to wear including her knickers didn’t exactly sit too well and visibly blinked the idea away. Miles himself was still wet, his trousers dirtied, the vest he wore over that white shirt soaked through, his shirt sticking to his biceps and nearly see through. Still Miles didn’t think of a change for him at all, he much rather wanted to be sure Larisa was able to be comfortable, warm and dry.
@Amari 1
1 1Larisa, I spoke to Connor this morning he called me from the cells. He was really upset, he said you and your new boss went round there and you're now trying to pin him with all this stuff that he didn’t do? What's happened? What's got into you? Why would you do this after everything he has been through? He asked me for a lawyer.... I got him one, I couldn’t say no Larisa, I'm disappointed in you.... To do this to him knowing how fragile he is. How can you live with yourself?
So, Connor was trying to make out that this was their fault? They had been the ones to instigate this? They had been the aggressors? She felt angry then, furious...would the courts believe that story? Would they believe that they had gone round there to cause trouble? Tom believed him....and Tom had always been somewhat neutral in their relationship he knew how Connor was knew the kind of stick he gave Larisa and yet here he was taking his side.... would everyone else take his side to?
She slammed her phone down on the counter face down so she wouldn’t have to see any more, she felt that frustration bubbling under the surface running a hand through her hair gazing at the blank Compter screen though trying to find a solution for the Bentley was far from her mind.Heard from Melissa… She’ll be calling you. It’s not good news, and I’m sorry that it isn’t. I’m doing all I can to keep you safe. I’m here if you need.
XO Your Lupo
@AmariI know, I heard from the police…no one believes me do they? If I can't get a court to believe what he did to me, how can I possibly expect a jury to? The evidence isn't there Miles and that's all there is to it, I'm going to drop the charges, I'm not putting myself through this to be a deemed a liar out the end and cause any more disruptions to our lives, he deserves to be punished for what he did, but I don't deserve to be punished for speaking the truth.
@FioryLarisa, I understand that you think this can’t be won. Please don’t make any rash decisions yet. Let the lawyers work through this. Melissa seems very capable from when I spoke with her this morning. She’s going to be reaching out to Thomas, see what he saw and heard since he witnessed what happened in the backyard. You’re not a liar, and Connor shouldn’t get away with what he did to you. For your safety, please stay in the penthouse where Security can keep you secure. I’ll come home early today so you’re not alone. Edward can piss off. I’ll reschedule my scolding with him to another day.
It was the best he could offer her, not knowing what to say or what to do in this situation. Nothing about being at the office right now felt right. Miles just wan
I know he shouldn't, but the courts don't believe what happened Miles, that's the big picture here, I don't even know what Thomas can add, I don't plan to leave the apartment, I'll stay in, you don't need to come home early I know the meeting with Edward was something you really needed to do, I don't want to compromise your position there, by not seeing him, I'd never forgive myself if you get into trouble because of me, I'm okay, please don't worry about me, I feel safe with the security here, but of course I'd never say no to you being home alone…It's lonely here without you
She typed back almost knowing what his response might be before she sent it, she sighed pushing her way of the counter and making her way across the kitchen she gazed at that whiskey so tempted to open it, she sure could do with a drink but with the pain meds she was on she truly didn't think that was the best plan of action, instead she put the coffee machine on deciding to make a coffee instead, just as she got it all set up she heard her phone ringing again, she walked across the room grasping her phone and noticed the number coming up across the screen, wad Miles calling her? Surely he would just ring of his mobile? .My Wolf, thank you so much for the Roses, they are beautiful, you really didn’t need to, I hope you're having a good day and you're not feeling to bad. Remember to eat lunch, and drink water...I'm not there to ensure your doing it so I trust you to behave. I'll see you when your Home, StudOn my way home now. Meeting with Edward was changed. He’s coming to the penthouse.
@Amari2.18pm what if he was coming soon? She gazed at herself to see her outfit, that wouldn’t do neither...she could hardly see him in loungewear! But then she wondered.... would he want her there? Should she stay upstairs? Would he want him knowing she was there? She didn’t have much time to ponder her thoughts trying to forget the pain in her ribs which thankfully was dulling down she started to clean the kitchen, she found a dishwasher and popped most things he had used in there, the bending wasn’t the easiest thing she had ever done but she was determined to at least tidy, she didn’t want him to come round and see the house a mess, she cleaned the counters down and ensured everything was as tidy and as perfect it could be, seeing the roses she grasped them to move them to the centre of the table taking the note and holding onto it she tidied them up so they looked more presentable .
Grabbing the laptop, she decided to take that upstairs to, gazing around she saw some of her shoes, her coat hanging up, little things around the house that was hers that she had left lying around...Christ did she need to get rid of those to? When would Miles even be back? What if Edward got here before he did? She looked at her phone hoping he would reply and give her some indication as to what he wanted her to do.... the thought giving her mixed feelings especially if he wanted her to hide, the thought pained her to think he would want that...and if he did, did that show he truly wasn’t that serious about them? 1 1 1 1 1
Got in contact with Thomas. Key Witness! Will update when I have more info
@Amari
Mr. King, there’s a problem. Judge hasn’t gotten back regarding the RO. Concerned that since this is Mr. Johnson’s first offense he might get a light restraint. Doing all I can to push for 200ft. Also talk about damages to Connor’s car and house. Need you to elaborate at earliest convenience.
It was after that, with the latest message that Melissa’s full message could be read:
Judge denied Ext RO; Possible sue for Car Damages. Mr. Johnson not to contact per order but doesn’t specify distance to be kept. Appealing the decision. Keep Ms. Bechtel safe. Recommending she not go out on her own for now. Johnson states his car and house were damaged by you Mr. King. Might settle out of court, but that involves a face to face meeting. Do you want me to set it up?
“I.. I honestly didn’t want to upset you Larisa…” Miles sounded apologetic, though he was sure it wouldn’t matter what he said. He had kept information from her, was still technically doing so, as now he had to make a decision about meeting with Connor to settle the civil portion of his suit; or let it go to court and drag this on longer than he really wanted to. For Miles, that wasn’t an option, but he wanted the meeting to be done on his terms, not on Connor’s. He had wanted to discuss it with her, get her take on it and her opinion. He valued it, and wanted her input, though now he was sure with how frustrated she sounded that he’d messed up and there wasn’t going back on that.
@AmariMs Brady, I understand that Mr King contacted you in regards to my case and told you not to contact me regarding any news that was unpleasant, as YOUR client, I expect to be kept in the loop of any information that is brought to your attention good or bad, you may be Mr Kings appointed lawyer, but right now you are working for ME, and my case, I expect complete transparency at all times between the two of us, if i find out information is being withheld from myself again I will be seeking another lawyer, please in future, I want to know everything regardless of what that is. I appreciate your understanding in this matter. Ms BechtelMr. King - Regrettably, I will no longer be able to follow your directive to keep information from my client Ms. Bechtel with regards to her case against Mr. Johnson. As a courtesy I will keep you apprised of any updates I receive but as far as further communications being withheld, I am unable to do this task. If you would like to reassign me because of this, I will understand and forward all the information I’ve gathered to the new attorney. Kindly - Melissa.
“For fuck’s sake…” Miles stared at the message, feeling himself burning up at being told by someone that worked for him that they weren’t going to do as he asked. That they were going to defy him and a direct order that he had given.
”I’m hurt you did that”That’s fine Ms. Brady. Do as Larisa asks. She’s in charge. Set up the meeting with Connor. I want to talk to him Alone. The judge might not have put a distance on that restraining order but I AM. I don’t want him within a mile of Ms. Bechtel if I can help it. - MJK
Downstairs, Larisa would get a similar message from Melissa with an attached screenshot of the conversation with Miles too. If there was to be transparency, then there needed to be full transparency all around. It was accompanied by the following message:Ms. Bechtel - I’m very sorry for any disrespect I may have caused following Mr. King’s orders. Rest assured, you ARE my client, and you have my full and undivided attention. I am happy to divulge any and all information regarding your case to you as I know it. For complete transparency, I’ve ensured that Mr. King is aware of this as well so there will be no confusion in the future. He is requesting a private meeting with Mr. Johnson, and as your lawyer if you’ll still have me, I would advise that this be the best course of action. Having you in the room may complicate matters, especially considering the discussion would be about the damages that Mr. King caused to Mr. Johnson’s home and vehicle and not in regards to the charges currently being pressed against him for the assault. The judge did not grant a distance on the restraining order, just no contact. I am appealing this decision as I find it to be too lax even for a first time offense. I did advise that you be kept safe until we know exactly where Mr. Johnson will be and Mr. King was prepared to ensure your safety. Currently Mr. Johnson is being charged with Assault, Attempted Kidnapping and Attempted Sexual Assault. These are the charges he’s disputing, stating that you and Mr. King were the aggressors in the situation. I am hoping to speak with Thomas Crowley, Mr. King’s driver who was at the scene and use his witness account in order to solidify the evidence in our favor vs. Mr. Johnson’s. I have a good feeling about it, but I don’t want to promise before I know for sure. This isn’t an easy fight unfortunately as the evidence is mainly circumstantial on both sides. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns and I will forward you everything I know. - Melissa
@AmariThank you for your timely response, I'm happy to hear that you are prepared to do this for me, I don't like being kept in the dark, even if it's information i might not particularly like reading, it's important i know everything that is going on so i know how to move forward and what I might need to do in regards in how to manage my life, I appreciate and understand that Mr King had my best interest in heart, and was trying to look out for me, but I would be lying if i said it didn't hurt that this wasn't discussed with me prior to this decision being made, I'm glad to hear that this situation is resolved. In response to the meeting with Connor and Mr King, I believe that is the best thing to do to allow them to do that alone, me being there would indeed complicate things, and considering the case itself is already complicated enough with the accusations he is throwing in our direction, i wouldn't want to give him any more ammunition that he can use in the court. I appreciate all the effort you are putting in, please let me know of any further progress as soon as you know it.
The message sent and she left her phone there deciding that she didn't need to look at it anymore, she didn't want to discuss it anymore, she was still hurt by it all, plus she knew the person she really needed to talk to was the man currently hiding away upstairs, she pushed her self away from the kitchen chair, making her way up the stairs slowly to where their bedroom was, pushing the door open she peeked in noticing Miles sitting on the edge of the bed, the anger and frustration on his face was clear to see, and she wondered for a moment if this truly was the best time to try and talk to him, but she knew they needed to, she didn't want them to go to bed with this weighing heavily on them both.Agnellino - I think I’ll take you up on that. Would you mind finding and ordering that drink your father likes please? Here’s the information for my account. My card is on file. Feel free to order what you need too. Rush shipping is approved, especially if we’re thinking of meeting him tonight. Just have it sent to the penthouse. Thank you - xo Lupo
The text message was sent while he sat in the car. Miles stared at it for a moment, just waiting to see if she would have seen the message before he decided he had dawdled long enough and stepped out of the car to head inside. He must have had a serious face on when he walked by Rosie, as when she greeted him this morning she immediately slunk back down. Miles didn’t really have the time or the wherewithal to try and make the receptionist feel better, deciding not to say a word and just go up to his office. The ride up the elevator was noticeably silent and empty. Miles foundThe office feels empty without you… Il Mio Lupo - I'll see what I can find, I'll do it right now, I hope today goes okay, I'll do what I can hear to make it better for you it was on the tip of her tongue to tell him she missed him, wished he was here. But would she be stupid to say that? maybe, he had only just left after all, so instead she sent the message as it was, sighing she grasped her phone and laptop moving to the kitchen table she placed the bits down before making her way back into the kitchen and placing the coffee machine on to make a coffee, going to grab her pills she popped a few grabbing a glass of water she swallowed down the pills before that coffee was ready pouring herself a mug she made it how she liked it before making her way back to that kitchen table. She looked at the computer thinking for a moment before dragging her phone closer to her I really should call him first... but the thought of the whole conversation was making her stomach twist with a deep breath she called his number, waiting a moment for him to answer, before to her surprise it wasn't her Father's voice she heard on the other end, instead it was her mother's hearing the gentle voice come across the speaker made her sink down into the chair a little deeper.The penthouse feels empty without you.... I miss you Miles, were go to my father’s tonight, we need to be there at 7. my mother said she will cook for us, if you like my cooking just wait until you taste hers....It will be okay Miles, no matter what happens, Please don’t be nervous x she sent the message before finally moving to her laptop deciding she truly needed to distract herself, first stop...To see if she could find the Grappa he liked.I’m sure your mother’s cooking is phenomenal. I look forward to it. I feel better already thinking about it. Wish you were here instead. Would much rather have you keep me company over this boring financial meeting…xo
“Mr. King? Are you with us?”
It was Julia’s voice, sitting at his right and when Miles looked up he realized that he had been asked something and had completely missed the conversation entirely. Julia was raising a brow at him, a light smile beginning to pull at her lips. HR always attended these meetings, so Miles just cleared his throat and sat up a little straighter with his phone resting in his lap.
“Of course I am. Just because I’m not paying attention to the endless bickering of Rebecca and Dustin, doesn’t mean I’m not here Jules.” He said sternly, his dark eyes glaring at the rest of the table as they shuffled back to the discussion at hand.I miss you too. What are you doing right now? I could use a pick me up… would love to see you.
Miles was hoping she’d take a picture of herself. Just something that he could have to occupy his mind for a moment and let his nerves about tonight settle. She was working on getting the drink for her father, and Miles wasn’t sure how well that was going. However, it dawned on him that her mother would be present too. The last thing he wanted to do was to be rude and not try to be gentlemanly to her too. He just wasn’t raised to do anything else. So while he waited for Larisa to see if she’d send a message back to him he quietly searched on his phone for what he thought would be perfect. The selection had been something he took his time on, not wanting to appear desperate or flashy or even cocky. This had to be a subtle thing, something that she might appreciate and hopefully if he got in good with his wife, then perhaps Mr. Bechtel wouldn’t despite the hell out of him right off the bat.What kind of girlfriend who I be if I didn’t at least give you a satisfying pick me up Il Mio Lupo, please tell me if you require anymore... she teased sending the message first before she sent the photo along with it. Giggling to herself as she did place that phone down and sliding the dress back down her frame enough so she could sit back down on the chair practically bouncing as she waited for his response...hoping she at least didn’t over step the mark with the photo.The very fucking best kind. That’s quite the pick me up. You’re fucking gorgeous, I damn near dropped my phone. I absolutely require additional morale boosting pick me ups like that.. What do I have to do for another Agnellino? - xxx
After sending the message to her, Miles chuckled taking in the photo he’d gotten and admiring the beautiful woman in it. A beautiful woman that wanted to share an intimate photo with him, even though he hadn’t expected her to. A beautiful woman that shared his home with him, and his bed and had completely entwined herself into his life. And Miles wouldn’t have had it any other way.Hello Ms. Bechtel - I wanted to update you I have reached out to Connor in order to set up the requested meeting between Mr. King and him. As a precaution, if Mr. Johnson contacts you at all, please forward all correspondence to me so I can add it to your file. If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask. - Melissa
The only thing that bothered Melissa was that Mr. King had wanted this meeting to be done alone. That included her too. She had protested, stating that he needed legal council in the room with him, but Miles had been absolutely insistent on it. That no one but Connor and perhaps his lawyer if he felt so inclined to have someone else with him were allowed in the room. It would be the two of them or at best the three of them and Miles would not budge on this detail. Why does he want this to be a private meeting though? She wondered, deciDevi solo dire chiedi gentilmente mio lupo, e ti darò tutto ciò che desideri You only have to say ask nicely my wolf, and I'll give you whatever you desire she typed back before she sent the message, the smile was damn near splitting her face in half, imaging him in the office stumbling over that phone which also brought a small pink tinge to her cheeks, biting down on her bottom lip before she closed the apps on the computer and opened up his Calander already seeing some new dates and a few things that needed tidying up she decided she would at least make a start on that, to somewhat distract her before he would respond. Hearing the next ping however only had that excitement growing.
“My my...Someone is Ea-” her trail of thought soon ended when she realized who the message wasMelissa – thank you for letting me know, I’m not entirely too sure what Miles wants with this meeting, He hasn’t said much about it, I’m assuming you will be attending as well? Sending the message she popped the phone down, she assumed she would be, why wouldn’t she be? She was still very much under the assumption this meeting would take place in the station, with the attorneys hashing out the details, she was still very much unaware what Miles had requested.Hi Ms. Bechtel - It is my understanding that I will be accompanying Mr. King in this private meeting. I know that he has made it very clear that you are not to attend, for your own safety and his mental wellbeing. The request from him was pretty sudden, but I’m hoping to get a response from Mr. Johnson’s attorney any minute now with the details of the meeting for him. I’ll keep you posted, if you’d like. - MelissaThanks for getting back to me. Mr. King would like this to be a private meeting in his office at King’s A&I. Security is available should Mr. Johnson feel the need for it at any time. My client hasn’t discussed the details for the conversation but likely it will be for the damages to Mr. Johnson’s home and vehicle, to settle that part of the suit out of court so there is less going into this other than the charges that were filed. At this time, I don’t know if the charges from our end will be lifted, but it is a good possibility that my clients may consider it, if Mr. Johnson is civil in this meeting. I’m very sure both parties just want this whole ordeal to be over with and not be drawn out in a long legal process. Let me know Mr. Johnson’s availability and I can get him scheduled to see Mr. King at his earliest convenience. Would you like me to wait here for my reward sir? she teased sending the message and the photo so he would receive almost both together, she chuckled thinking of him receiving that message before suddenly there was a knock at the door, she yelped in surprise the phone in her hand slipping and hitting the floor beneath her as she scampered to get of the counter her hands desperately tugging up her bra and grasping at the fabric of her dress so it was sitting before, ensuring she was covered up before she moved to the door, she peeked out the peep hole not noticing anyone there she opened the door to see the groceries she had ordered placed on the doorstep, she smiled widely that they had arrived, luckily they wasn’t to heavy as she picked them up and carried them into the penthouse placing down on the counter before reaching in to pull the drink she had ordered her father out, it looked expensive and it looked good. She was sure he would like this, reaching down she grabbed her phone noticing it wasn’t damaged luckily before she started to put the groceries away.Good Girl. I’m glad I skipped lunch today, since I’ve got a homemade snack waiting for me at home.
A quiet grin spread over his face, and he idly let his free hand run over the excited length that was wanting to press further against the fabric of his pants. He missed her being in the office. Missed hearing her voice and seeing her tease and smile at him. Missed how she lit up and warmed the office just by being in the room. But at least this, this was something. It helped the day go by faster at the very least and it gave Miles something to look forward to when getting home. Something he actually was dreading today. Mostly because going home meant closer to the evening, and closer to the evening meant that he was closer to having to meet her parents. Which was not something he’d ever done before and it brought with it a flurry of nerves at the very thought.I'll make sure it's warmed up for when you come home, Though it won't take long, considering how hot it already is she sent back the grin on her face before she moved to sit back down in front of her laptop, she didn't go to the calendar straight away instead she started on some reports that she knew he normally needed , she was slacking a bit with those and felt a little guilty for it knowing he normally needed them first thing in the morning, and here it was nearly lunchtime and she still hadn't sent them, she got them sorted presented how he wanted and sent them of Better late then never she thought to her self before she finally moved back to his calendar to ensure it wasn't a complete mess.
That's when she saw it the new entry, one makes private appointment and her face fell a little. that must be the meeting with Connor, at least that's what she assumed it was, if it was anything else it would surely say exactly what it was, she was nervous for it, nervous for him, she knew he could handle himself that she was of, but it didn't mean she liked the idea of him and Connor in a room together not after all the other exchanges they had together, the thought pulled a deep frown from her face, she just had to trust Miles knew what he was doing, and that things would be okay, shI'm happy to hear you will be accompanying him, I see the new appointment on his calendar for Monday, i can only assume this is with Connor? I'll ensure i will give you guys plenty of time and not book anything to soon to the appointment just encase it runs over, please any other details let me know i apprechiate the honesty with me now Melissa, let's keep it that way she sent leaving her phone on the side she went back to her laptop, gazing at the time that was going far to slow for her liking...She wanted Miles home, she wanted tonight over with...and she hoped to god everything in general would go okay.On my way home. Need to stop somewhere first. Will see you soon. - xo
Connor knows I’m here
