Riya's POV
I took a deep breath while looking at the enormous building standing in front of me.
“Let’s do this Riya” I said to myself and made my way inside. It’s my first day on my new job as the P.A. of famous billionaire,
Andrew Miller.
The one I have to make fall in love with me then break his heart. I don’t understand why Black wants me to do this when he could have chosen anyone else. But I shouldn’t worry about this.
At least I got to get out of his mansion which is nothing but a prison to me.
His words from yesterday are still ringing in my ear, reminding me of who I am.
An object.
I always tell myself that I am not an object but everyone treats me like one. My father used me as an object to gain benefits, my husband treats me as an object to do as he please without caring about my feelings.
But can I blame them when my own mother who gave birth to me also treated me like an object.
How she used me to……
It hurts so badly.
But not anymore. I will find my escape and will live my life as human. A human who will have freedom.
“How may I help you?” the receptionist asked me. She is a beautiful woman who seems to be in her mid twenties.
“I am Riya Williams, new PA of Mr. Miller” I told her politely.
“Take that elevator and go to top floor, you will find Anna, Mr. Miller’s secretary there. She will guide you to your desk” she informed me in a professional tone. I thanked her and made my way to elevator.
Miller Enterprises is one of the dream company to work for many youngsters. You can’t get a job here easily. You need to be very skilled to get hired here.
You might be wondering how did I get the job here. I haven’t even completed my education yet.
It was all because of Black's power. He used his connection and I got selected in the interview process. He even prepared false documents of my academics and achievements for me.
I am sure his men are working for Millers as spies and I have to be very careful. I don’t know who they are but what if they know about me and tell him about my each move.
I came out of elevator and looked around. It’s very spacious hallway with beautiful interior.
“Hello I am Riya Williams, Mr. Miller’s new PA” I informed the woman who was walking in the hallway with a cup of coffee. She smiled looking at me.
"hey, I am Anna. Me. Miller’s secretary. He just came. Come I will take you to his cabin” she told me with a smile.
We were walking when a man came and said to Anna, “Sir wants report on A&R project in fifteen minutes”.
“Okay, I will prepare it. Riya can you give this coffee to him. That is his office” she said pointing towards his office door.
“Sure” I said and took the cup from her hands. She walked through a door with that man leaving me alone.
I made my way to his office and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. I don’t know why I am very nervous.
After few seconds I heard a husky voice say, “come in”. My nervousness increased.
I opened the door and the scene in front of me made me stumble on my steps.
I averted my gaze and looked at the floor finding it more interesting than the view in front me.
Of course what can I expect from the nation's notorious playboy, Andrew Miller.
He is shamelessly making out with a woman in his cabin. Why did he even called me in if he was busy?.
“Who are you?” I heard him ask. I look up through my lashes and sighed in relief when I saw that they have stopped their show. That woman is glaring in my direction while standing two steps away from his chair where he is sitting.
“Riya Williams, your new PA” I replied. He don’t know me as he was not there at the time of interview. Maybe that is why I was chosen. I am sure he would have never chose an inexperienced person like me if he was taking the interview.
He was looking at me from head to toe. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
“place the coffee on the table” he said. I made my way to his desk and placed the cup in front of him. All the time he was staring at me.
“do you need anything else sir?” I asked him when he didn’t say anything.
“No, Anna will tell you regarding your duties. Hope you will work hard and honestly. Trust me, I don’t leave those who mess with me” he said coldly.
A cold shiver ran down my spine hearing his threat.
Why is he threatening me? Does he knows Black sent me here?
No there is no way, if he knew I would be standing outside of his office. Realizing that he is waiting for my reply I nodded my head in yes.
“You can leave” he said and I came out of his office. I took a deep breath I didn’t know I was holding ever since I entered inside his office.
My heart is beating crazily. Maybe because I know I am lying to him.
For almost an hour, Anna informed me about my work and introduced me with some employees from the secretary department and few others. She told me about office premises and rules and regulations of the company.
I was listening everything carefully. Whole day went by in blur while working. At six in the evening I received the call from George, my driver also my guard who will make sure I won’t run away.
“Hello George, I have to stay in the office for few more hours as Mr. Miller has assigned me a lot of work” I told him.
“It is your first day and you have to stay longer?” he asked me suspiciously.
“He have few important meetings tomorrow and want me to go through details of all the important information regarding these meetings as I will have to accompany him in each meeting”
“But if you don’t trust me I will be more than happy to leave the office and get fired on my first day. But you will have to explain this to Black that it is not my fault but yours that I got fired” I said calmly.
“Oh.. you don’t have to come. I am waiting outside. Call me when you are done for today” he said nervously.
Like everyone, he is also afraid of Black.
“Okay, I might call you around ten or eleven. Thank you for waiting” saying this I disconnected the call.
I got engaged in my work again.
Black's POV
I heard the knock on the door. I let the person in and Rick walked inside and sat down on the chair in front of me.
“Should I go ahead with the plan?” he asked.
I placed the file which I was reading, on the table and gave him my full attention.
“Go ahead. Make sure there won’t be any mistake” I said to him sternly.
“You don’t have to worry about it” he said reassuring me. Rick is very capable man and I am sure he will handle everything properly. Silence fell on us.
“Speak, whatever you want Rick” I said when he didn't say anything. I can see he wants to say something but he is hesitating for some reason.
“It’s about Noah. He is still missing Bella badly. Why don’t you talk to him and tell him to…. move on. I know Bella was your sister and it must be difficult for you but still…”
“He needs to move on” I completed for him and he nodded his head.
I don’t want Noah to mourn over my sister and waste his entire life in her memories. I want him to be happy like he used to be in past. I want to see him smile like he used to.
But just one night changed everything in his life. All of his happiness is Snatched away from him.
“I will talk to him” I said and Rick gave me a grateful smile. Noah is like a brother to me and Rick.
“What if Riya tries to run away?” he asked changing the subject.
There is a high possibility that she will try to escape as I have allowed her to leave the house but there is no escape for her from me.
“Then we will catch her again and punish her so that she won’t make the same mistake” I replied with a smirk.
“do you think he will fall for Riya?” he asked.
“there is no chance that a man like him ever fall in love with anyone. Especially a girl like Riya never” I stated.
Andrew uses woman just as a means to satisfy his desires, he sees them as nothing but a f**ktoy. There is no way he will fall for someone.
“Then why did you send her there. If I am not wrong you sent another woman there. What was her name……. Stella, right? For the same reason. Then why did you send Riya?” he asked me.
Curiosity is written all over his face. He is right, there is a reason behind sending Riya there.
“Its because…….” Before I could finish, a sound of something shattering interrupted our conversation. The day when Mia caused trouble flashed in front of my eyes.
I got up instantly to check what happened, Rick followed behind me. Since my office is on the first floor, it didn’t take much time for us to reach in the living room.
For some reason my breath got caught in my throat when I saw the scene in front of me.
Noah is pinning Riya on the wall. His forearm is placed on her throat, choking her. Tears are streaming down from her eyes while she is struggling to get out of his hold.
But the thing that caused me to fear is the gun, Noah has placed on her temple. And he is just about to pull the trigger.
He is at some distance from me so I won’t be able to push him away so I and Rick called out his name loudly, “Noah”
At the same time sound of gunshot echoed in the room.
He killed her????
