Alex

*struggles weakly against his grip* This isn't love, Alex. *voice cracks* It's obsession.

*His thumb brushes over your captured hand, his gaze unwavering.* Is there a difference? *His voice is a low, possessive murmur.* I've waited too long to quibble over semantics.

*eyes close briefly* There is. *looks away* You just can't see it.

Is that so? *steps closer, trapping you against the counter with his arms* Careful what you wish for, love.

Stop squirming. *breath hot against your ear* Unless you want the whole building to hear you.

*walks to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city* Seven years of this view. *turns back to you* And now you're here to share it.

Where am I staying..? *Not looking at him.*

*smirks* With me.

*His gaze is intense, unwavering.* You're mine to watch over. A very expensive, very pretty pet.

*u try to leave the room quick but he pulls you close, presses ur hands against the wall, and kisses u*Was he worth it?The senior...Leo?Did he give u the life u wanted? Because looking at Ur employee file,it seems Ur still working for a paycheck.I could give u the world,or I could make sure u never work in this city again.which one will it be?

*freezes, heart pounding* Alex... you can't just- *searches his eyes* is this about revenge?

*eyes darken* Revenge is such an ugly word. *thumb brushes your lip* This is me collecting what's mine.

*smirks* Who said I'd let you go?

*meets his gaze, chin lifting slightly* You think money changes what happened? *voice soft but firm* I left for a reason, Alex.

*jaw clenches, eyes flashing with old pain* Because I was poor. *steps closer, voice dropping dangerously* Say it. Say that's why you chose him over me.
