You're only mine

They say that opposite attracts. But who said that things are same for Maxwell Harrison. Everything about her, harmonized perfectly with him. Her perfection, her confidence, her aura, perfectly compliments his personality. Still after so many stark resemblances , there is something different between them which ignites their chemistry. There is a certain kind of simplicity in her nature which clashes with his complex disposition. Simplicity and Complexity need each other. This temperament is so fundamental that he ended up craving her to complete himself. The attraction between them is undeniable. She touches his mind and ignites his body on fire.

"You look like a teenage boy having his first date" Adam muttered. This drastic change in his friend's demeanor had perplexed him. He eagerly wanted to meet the girl who intrigued his friend.

"Cut me some slack!" Max defended himself.

"What ? You look lost  from the time we entered here"

Max was about to oppose when he caught the glimpse of her striking figure. That was the sight his eyes were craving for so long. But she was not alone. She was accompanied by young man , probably of her age. I invited her for dinner and she already brought a date with her. He couldn't help but doubt.

"Good evening Mr. Harrison" she greeted as they reached to their seat.

"Good evening indeed" he took her palm in his hand and pressed a gentle kiss on it. Her soft petals like palm quivered slightly under his lips. Sensing her reaction he smiled against her palm.

"This is my friend Adam Smith and Adam meet Angela Velázquez"

"Nice to meet you Mr. Smith". Adam nodded in acknowledgment. Behind his façade, he was actually dumbfounded by her beauty. No doubt Max is smitten by her.

"And who is this gentleman here ?" Max gestured towards the young man.

"He is my bodyguard and also my childhood best friend, Romeo. " he felt slightly disappointed hearing her words.

"He is like my brother." She said with a gleam in her eyes and with her words, the heavy feeling lifted from his heart. They all exchanged greetings and settled on their respective seats.

"So Ms Velázquez, tell me about yourself." Adam asked while the waiter poured drinks for them.

"There is nothing much significant about me" she gave him an easy smile, "I'm the daughter of Antonio Velázquez"

"Antonio Velázquez as in the CEO of Brasilia groups ?"

"Yes, you're right Mr. Smith". Hmm, I've seen met him before. Adam thought

" But as far as I know, he doesn't have any child"

"Actually I was an orphan" her glowing face fell suddenly " He is my foster father." Max felt a tug at his heart. What a coincidence ! He is  orphan too.

"I see. So, how you happened to visit California ? Any special plans ?"

"I'm not here for a visit. I am actually planning to settle here. My father wants me to learn business, so after my graduation, I decided to work in internship"

"Hmm, but what's the problem with your own father's company ?" Adam asked suspiciously. On the other hand, Max was silent throughout the conversation , gulping down his dry martini but Adam's questions started to annoy him. He stomped Adam's feet under the table, what's with his interrogation?

"Being a billionaire's daughter pros as well as cons. They treat me as princess and my father wants me to learn business from basic level, as a mere employee. In nutshell, he wants me to provide unbiased training" she explained calmly.

"Well in that case, if you want you can work with me." Max offered her, hiding his excitement. I'd get more time to spend with her if she agrees.

"That's so considerate of you Mr. Harrison" Angela chimed, appreciating his thoughtfulness.

"C'mon, stop calling me that. That makes me feel like old person. You can call me Max" he joked and she giggled at that.

"If only you call me Angela" she smirked.

"Then Angela it is." Max grinned in return.

~~~

"Thanks for inviting me Max, I enjoyed the dinner very much" Angela thanked him after they finished their dinner.

"Pleasure was all mine" he looked deeply in her eyes. The intensity in his gaze brought some alien feelings in her stomach, so she averted her eyes.

"It was nice talking to you Mr. Smith"

"You can call me Adam as well" Adam maintained his professional tone, his hands stuffed inside the pockets of his trouser. He even couldn't understand his cold behaviour towards her.

"Alright, good night gentleman" she greeted them for one last time and strode away with her bodyguard.

As soon as she was out of the sight, Max raised his eyebrow and glared at Adam.

"Don't give me that look" Adam rolled his eyes.

"What was all about that inquiry ? You were acting just like my father"

"Hey, I was just curious, okay"

"So, do you like her ?" Max asked curiously as Adam's opinions mattered very much to him

"No doubt she is exceptional but....." Max frowned as Adam trailed.

"But what Adam ?"

"Nothing, let's go" Adam shook his head, trying to avoid the topic. He couldn't conclude anything that early so he decided he keep quiet.

She cautiously stepped inside the building, checking her surrounding. It's the first time she will meet him after she started her mission. Her heels made clicking sounds as she trotted on the marble floor. After reaching the counter, She stopped and smiled at the familiar brunette standing in front of her.

"June" the brunette squealed in happiness and hugged her.

"How are you April ?" She asked while returning her hug.

"I'm fine." She eyed her from head to toe and smirked "Babe, you look gorgeous by the way" April gestured towards her hair.

"Thanks. I missed you, April" April was one of the orphans who grew up along with her. They were like the sisters from different mothers and she shared everything with her.

"Anyway, is he inside ?" June asked nervously.

"No, you go in. He will be coming any time" April informed her. She nodded and headed towards his office. She took a deep breath and twisted the nob of the door.

Without warning, she was pinned to the wall with her hands on either side of her head. She gasped as the cold wall came in contact with her skin.

"Ah, how much I missed this" said the captor in a hoarse voice. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply as he buried his head in the crook of her neck and breathed her hairs.

"Seth....."

"Hmm, you look more hot in this new makeover" he started kissing her nape slowly.

"But aren't we cousins now ?" She suggested in ragged breath while she tried to free herself from his grip.

"Cousins ? Bullshit ! I don't accept it. I loved you before he adopted you. And I already told you, you are mine" he nibbled her ear lobe as he whispered in her ear "Only mine"

His hands traveled dangerously on her body. "But....." She tried to protest but he didn't give her a chance. Seth brought his mouth near her lips and was about to kiss her when the door burst open.

"Leave her, Seth" ordered a strong voice.
