Bound by Flame & Fang

Untitled Episode 14

Damian POV:

I seat at my office starring at the pile of documents I should have signed yesterday but couldn't because I was too over Ariel.

Now I have to do it.

Speaking of Ariel, I remember I asked my meta, to take care of Ethan and that skinny b***h who lay a hand on my Ariel. I told my phone out ready to ask him for an update, just then he came forward with Ethan keys and a file. I had told him to take his car keys as a lesson. Though I didn't let him know the reason.

Good morning Mr Blackthorne, I did some research. A deep research on how Ethan is related to Ariel, and I discovered that…

he paused for a moment as if giving me a heads up before he dropped a bomb.

“I'm not a man of patience, time is gold” I said in my head.

I snapped at him, “f*****g go on Marcus”.

He nodded and continued. “He knew better than to waste my time.”

He said. “The lady is—or if I’m correct, was—Aria’s childhood best friend. But she caught her with Ethan, doing something you know…” He moved his head, trying to hint at what he meant.

But I wasn’t ready for such nonsense. I said in a very demanding voice, “Marcus.”

“Okay, fine,” he huffed, knowing I wouldn’t let him dance around it. “Since you want me to just say it the way it is… Aria caught Ethan f*****g Lily—her childhood friend.” He said the last part with disgust visible in his face.

I tilted my head, letting out a dark laugh.

“if Ethan was Ariel's ex boyfriend that means I'm f*****g my son's ex.”

That brought a devilish smile to my face and an idea of how to deal with Ethan came to my mind. I know just how to make these two ex-lovers shocked, and make Ethan pay for laying a finger on what belongs to Blackthorne.

Marcus stared at me in disbelief.

Marcus and I, our relationship is beyond secretary and boss.

He was the only person who knew who I was, the King of the underworld, the only Wolf that always got what he wanted.

I could tell he couldn't believe I was enjoying this.

Ariel POV:

I stood at the mirror admiring myself in the pension Louise Vuitton skirt I wore.

The Butler had brought it saying, “the young master said I should bring it, he ordered it this morning.” And after that he left with a smile.

I couldn't believe the golden-eyed cold handsome Damian could get me a dress.

The car was already waiting down stairs and here I was staring at my curved body.

I turned my ass to see if my ass was small in the dress, I never wore clothes that pressed against my ass.

I checked and saw it sticking out Perfectly. Even it was small, at least I had one. I always use that to console myself for not having ass.

I quickly picked the bag and also the Zara heels, Damian bought. I was good to Go.

“let go show Blackthorne Holdings what a daughter of a rejected witch can do”.

I smiled as I walked down the stairs, the maids all stared at me. Making my head swell in confidence, I rearranged myself and raised my shoulder high like I was the young lady of this mansion.

I walked downstairs and saw the car, it's was a black newly released rolls Royce.

“This is my ride?” I asked the Butler in disbelief. He simply smiled in amusement and said. “Yes, Damian ordered I drop you off with this car.”

“OMG.” I wispered.

He gestured for me to enter, bowing his head in respect. I bowed my head along with him too, And got into the black leather seats at the back, I sat like a boss.

“Damian most be f*****g Rich”. I thought to myself.

As the driver started the car and moved into the bustling city. I remember I didn't have a home or someone to call my own when Damian showed up. For a moment I wanted to cry.

because then a thought, came to my mind.

“What if he asks me to go?,” I mean I don't even know that much about him.

“What if one day he just disappears.” I know I shouldn't have any feelings for him but since we spent that passionate night together, I couldn't forget about him.

And yesterday just when I thought I would sleep under the bridge he showed up like a God sent. I was still lost in my own thoughts when the driver nervously cleared his throat. “Uhm, we are here young lady.” I snapped out of my thoughts and thanked him for the ride, I got down to open my door. I smiled and said “thank you”. Then he zoomed off.

I stood outside Blackthorne Holdings. I breathed in and then breathe out, I needed that just to cover my anxiety. And with that I walked into the office with my shoulders high.

Every head turned in my direction. I smiled and walked with confidence. I thought to myself. “Of course who could ignore such beauty.”

I walked to the elevator and pressed the button to the high floor where the director stayed. I got there and introduced myself. “Good morning Mr Smith. I'm Ariel Blake, the new secretary to Mr Blackthorne”.

He chuckled a little, oh I almost didn't recognise you.

“You look super beautiful. And Mr Blackthorne is..” he was still talking when a man dressed in black sharp suit with a face that clearly read, “Don't mess with me” Showed up.

He came directly to me, saying “I'm here to escort you to Mr Blackthorne’s office where he is waiting. He said politely.

“Waiting for me?. I thought I misheard him and laughed nervously. I asked again.

“Are you talking to me?.” He looked at me like I was a fool,

he said “Yes”.

“I believe you are the only female here right?,” he asked and I replied with a “yes" nodding my head still in shock . He then gestured for me to follow him.

I did, but my head was filled with questions, what the heck did I do wrong to require the owner of BLACKTHORNE HOLDINGS to ask for me, A nobody.

We got to the door, he opened it and gestured for me to enter. I entered with shaking hands.

The confidence I had prepared vanished in an instant.

The office was painted in pure black and gold, giving it a royal Vibe. I looked inside and saw someone facing the city, even when I couldn't see his face I could tell, he was super cold.

The sight of him sent a chill down my spine. With shaking voice I said. “Good morning Mr Blackthorn.” I didn't complete the words when he turned at once, facing me.

My mouth fell open and my eyes speed wide as I stared in disbelieve.

In front of me was Damian, he smiled at me in a devilish way. “Ariel Morgan is good. Why choose Blake?”

I couldn't speak I couldn't move.
