HIS TO COMMAND

CHAPTER SIX

CHLOE POV

I shutter already engulfed by fear. Giving a gentle knock on the door as if afraid I might knock it down.

Enter, he thundered from inside, I swallow hard, pushing the door open lightly. Greeted by the strong sweet and spicy scent of vanilla and musk. I close the door behind me, going further into the room until I am before him. I feel like a sacrificial lamb for odd reasons.

His gaze hot piercing my soul as I fight the urge to put on a brave act. I can't go down for a reason unknown to me, I won't cower. I never have and never will, not now not ever. I stand my ground firm as I look at him head on, the aura emulating from him could tame a wild horse but this wild horse grew up with a wilder training.

Yes sir, I breath facing him without looking away. His eyebrows pinch together, eyes blazing with rage sending flying daggers my way, my body stiffen as waves of molten flow down my body, suddenly I break a cold sweat.

Sir, he chuckled darkly standing up from his seat, walking to where I stand, standing only few feets away from me. His large frame hovers around me like a shadow. It's official, I'm in hell.

I think you should drop the charade now Chloe, you've proved your point. I get it, you are a badass she devil at inflicting humiliation on me. I should have known, First it was the incident about the sandwich, you couldn't make me apologize so you decided to make a fool out of me, isn't it miss? Are you satisfied now Miss Alexander, you should throw a party now, drink till you're merry, his voice echoed in the room causing my defence to crumble down like a crush cookie. I look at him, confusion entrenched on my face.

Don't you dare play dumb with me, you witch. You acted all sweet and selfless as if you truly cared about this organisation only to humiliate me in front of my rivalry and the investors I have been trying to bag for long. You set up a meeting at 8am with the investors today, yet you tell me it is set to 9:30am, I even leave the office at 9am so I would be there when they arrive only to walk into the conference room with a wrapped up presentation. You know the amusing part, I try to buy time and convince them to listen to me but none of them will even pay heed to my word. They look at me with disgust, no not just that, like I was a lazy, disorganised, careless and incompetent individual, even the people who never had the balls to look me in the eye left me standing there like I was a fool, in my entire life as a business owner, I have never felt this embarrassed until today.

He pace around the room, You disgust me, the mere sight of you sends waves of hatred to my body. How can you stand as low as making my hardwork go down the drain, I get the fact that you don't like me but this--this is another level of wickedness,don't you think? For devil sake answer me woman, Are you satisfied, he roared causing me to flinch.

My head drops to the ground as tears slip from my eye, i use my hand to quiet the sobs.

I shake my head drastically in denial, sure I didn't make any mistake of sort. I cry not because of how his words cut me but how his voice inflicts fear in me.

He comes in front of me, standing firm. Look at me, Woman, he voice comes out in command, I dare not act all brave right now. Sometimes,it's better to lose a battle, than fight one and these is one of those moments. I lift my head up, meeting his hot gaze. My body quiver and my leg shake from how weak I feel under those eyes. The tears swiftly fall without control, my breath hitches from all the sob.

Spare me these drama, bloody Mary. You should be happy, throw a party, pop champagne and drink red wine, you piece of trash, but I am warning you Chloe Alexander, if I lose this deal forget being fired, I'll make sure your life is a living nightmare. You are lucky today, you are not being fired, you incompetent witch. I don't want to make things between you and my sister awkward by doing so, you just been saved by a horsehair. Now listen to me good, next time you decide to go full b***h, use it for something productive not someone's downfall, are we clear, he barks out causing more tears to run down my eye.

My body trembles from how violent this man is going on me. I nod in affirmation. The room goes silent, the tension growing. I feel his eyes on me but I feel weak to meet it.

Leave, he growled. My body moves on autopilot as I run out of his office to the ladies room. I break down in front of the mirror, letting my tears pour out. I stay until my tears dry down. I wash my face, breathing out trying to even my breathe.

I have to find out what happened and fix it, I'm not incompetent nor am I the reason for this meeting failing and I'll prove it, I say to myself looking at the mirror.

Tomorrow is my day off since Elizabeth wants to go shopping. I'll have to do something.

I go back to my office, I go through my plans. It was changed, but I didn't do it. Suddenly, I call my brother. His a great hacker, he might spot something while I try to have some documents sorted out.

The phone ring once before it, picks up. He's always available when I need him.

Hey, Chloe wassup, he ask almost breathless causing me to suspect him.

Oh, nothing is wrong Christian, just wondering why you're panting heavily.

I'm at the arcade, don't get weird ideas. I don't have any interest in dating yet so give it a rest weirdo, he mocked

I hiss, rolling my eyes at his words. He laughs from the other side. I'll do something about him later, speaking of which, I am also single. That's the thing, why will we both be single, it doesn't make sense.

Hey Christian, could you hack into a mail I'll send you and check of any activity. It's a rivalry mail, I have a hunch a business mail will be send to them. I want you to stop it, manipulate it into something of rejection then check if they hack into my mail. I planned a meeting but the time was changed, I am suspecting them. That demon went full hell on me today and I want to prove him wrong, I murmur the last part pain evident in my voice.

Did he hurt you, tell me. What did that man say, tell me Chloe. Who does he think he is, tell me why are you quiet. Did he lay hands on you, Christian rage was at the surface and I know he will puff if I don't do something.

How will he hurt me, remember we were raise by a cop. I have a skin of iron and a heart of stone Just help me out, I'll need it by tomorrow. Everything, don't leave any single mail out, ok.

I got you, just take care ok. I'll go now, the boys are calling me. See you at home, psycho.

You ungrateful monster, pray I don't ...., he disconnects the call, cutting my call. I'll deal with him later, hope he finds something soon.

I continue my day, heart still beating. I don't want to make anymore mistakes, even though I didn't do anything. I pray I get something valuable.
