The Bachelor Billionaire and his Mate

Episode 6

Lucia pov.

It is morning and I have had a very little sleep this night, the pain has been profound, now I was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee.

At one point in the night, I swear I heard a voice whispering to touch myself, that made me want to do it, so I did, and I thought about that night, his eyes, his jaw and his big broad shoulders. I shook my head when Vincent emerged from his room, he walked up and kissed my cheek.

“Good morning mom. I had a weird dream tonight. I dreamt I was running around in the forest under the full-moon. It was really weird but at the same time cool as nothing I have ever tried before.”

I laughed at him “so you are saying you dreamt of being a werewolf? Just don’t eat anyone” he looked offended but then he started to laugh as well.

“mom you know those just exist in fantasy books and movies. To scare little kids along with vampires and witches. He said seriously, at the time it was hard to remember he was only ten.

“I know honey.” I can name I few stories staring werewolves that would make him blush the book I am reading at this moment is a masterpiece called “Her Coldhearted Alpha” by Authors muse it has everything suspense, love, action and surprises. But sadly it´s just stories, because who wouldn´t want undying never ending, all-consuming love. I know I sound cringey but when you have a child and is more or less alone, you have to find a way to pass your free time. But because of Vincent and the weird pain I have I haven’t dated much, but I wouldn’t change it for the world I will never regret having my son.

Angela comes out from her room “Good morning, are you about ready to go hon? I will drop you off at school and pick you up afterwards and then we will pick up your mummy, we are going out to eat all of us.”

“Aunt Ange! Good morning to you too. I know there is a reason why you are the one to take me to school, but I am looking forward to going out later, can I perhaps ask Jake if he can come with us?” Vincent said hopefully with pleading eyes, and all of the sudden it felt like the air around him became charged, I have never felt anything like it before, he looked at me and his eyes seemed to be amber but when I blinked again they where their usual green. He did not seem to have registered, and when I looked at Angela she just looked at him and raised her eyebrow.

“Not today sweetheart, I need the family time, but you can ask him to come by tomorrow, if you so want.” I said to him.

“hmm okay, I love you mum.” He grumbled but leaned down to kiss my cheek. Before he ran to his room to get his backpack. He came out looked at me. “bye mom” he said as he turned on his heels and stalked out the door, I sighed I really would get my hands full with him when he became teenager.

Angela looked at me before she hugged me “you will be fine honey. You got this.” She said before she followed my son.

When I was done eating I cleaned up, and showered, I found a pencilskirt that went down under the knees, along with a white blouse, and a pair of heels. I dried my hair and set out for Black industries, it was the first time I would work there but they needed me.

When I walked into the building that seemed huge, I was overthrown by the luxury it exceeded, even though I was dress in fine clothes so I looked the part I suddenly felt way out of place.

I went over to the counter and found a very professional and beautiful young woman who looked bored out of her mind. She raised an eyebrow as she looked at me. “hello my name is Lucinda Walton I am here to help check on your firewalls. But I don’t know where to go.”

She looked me up and down “do you really think I am stupid, I cant just let every bimbo in who pretend to have an errand here. The big boss is coming in today, but let me give you a tip, if you need to lie then at the least go for a more reasonable explanation like a secretary or assistant or something like that, another Gold-digger who just want to sleep her way to the top.” She said while looking like she had bitten a lemon.

I could not help to feel offended.

“Excuse me miss, who do you think you are? I am the expert called here, by your superiors, I am an Oxford graduate with a degree in cyber security, and advanced computer science, just because I am a woman doesn´t mean I can´t do well with computers. So please if you will call the tech department.” I said setting her straight.

She just gaped at me before she schooled her facial expression “do you really want me to belie….”

“Miss. Jennings. What on earth are you doing?!” someone interrupted her, and in strode a bulky looking man my guess would be he was from Russia he send the secretary a stern look, that said they would talk later.

“hello Miss or is it Mrs.? sorry I did not catch that, anyway I am Dimitry Volkov Black, I am the main responsible for the IT department. Pleasure to meet you. I know how wrong it sounds but I can see why my receptionist had a hard time to believe you had majored in computer science, and I know it sounds terrible, I will of course make sure she understands what she did wrong.” I shortly casted her a glance before she blushed turning beet-red.

“no, no its okay it is not the first time, I am happy single. But I am still the best.” I said, he looked at me “I know you are, almost as good as I am.” He laughed.

“are you telling me you are better than me? why do you need my help then?” I asked.

“simple, I need you to break through our firewalls, see if it is possible.!? He said, and I raised my eyebrow.

“that’s it? should I improve it afterwards?” I asked, I gotta say he was quite charming, he was hot and I did not meet many men who understood what I was talking about, and could talk about it with me.

He looked at the receptionist with didain“make sure any messages concerning Miss Walton will be forwarded to my office” he said and she silently nodded, looking straight at the screen.

“This way miss.” He said as he let me to an elevator. We took it up to the top floor, and he led me into a office that screamed tech dreamland. “yes welcome to my office, this is where you will work, I have something to take care downstairs, and after that I have a meeting with my boss, use my computer try if you can breach the firewall, and I will turn back to you.” He said and left me alone.

This is weird! I have never tried anything like it, I sat down and fired up his computer, along with my own, surprised how smooth his was.

The time went by, and I have to give it to Dimitry it was indeed done well, but two and a half hour in I found a small backdoor giving me free access to everything, I know there might just be a handful in the world who might be able to find it but still.

At this time Dimitry came in again “so what´s up, you must be bored to do this, especially when you don’t have access…” I turned around his laptop showing I had found my way in, and he turned quiet.

His face fell “how did you? I must say I am very surprised and a little bummed out you could, you truly are remarkable, now can you fix it so no one can get in?” he asked his eyes full of awe.

“of course I can, but it is really good, as I said I am just better. Now excuse me, I need to concentrate.” Turning my attention to the computer.

The hours went by and when the clock hit 14 I sit back, finished, no one will ever be able to breach it well besides me, but no one needs to know that. The door open and I watch my son walk inside in awe along with Angela.

“Wow this is fantastic, can I work here?” She starts and I laugh.

“I am not sure they need a medicaldoctor here. I just need to clear things with Dimitry.”

As if he was summoned he suddenly stands in the doorway sniffing the air, looking at Angela confused, before he sniff the air (whatever that means), I can see his pupils dilating and he shakes his head, almost looking disappointed, he pays no attention to my son.

“I´m all done, you will not find a more secure system in the world.” I say

“well done, I am impressed, I am sorry but can you show yourself out”, weird suddenly he seems a bit clipped, and distant.

“Yes of course, thanks for today.” I say before I grab my son around the shoulders and walk outside, I am in so many thoughts that I don’t see where I go until I bump into someone.

“I am so sorry I was lost in my own thoughts, I..” I started before my eyes travels up, tailored suit, broad shoulders, deep intense grey eyes and black hair. By the power emanating from him I know exactly who this is.

“I sorry sir, I was…” he stops me.

“it´s okay miss, no harm done.” He says, while he looks at me, his eyes trailing to my son, and I see his eyes widen in surprise.

I cant help to feel he mostly feels like a predator.

“again sorry sir, come on honey lets go out of here.” I say and steer around him, I turn in the elevator, and see him still staring at Vincent.
