New York City,

A cute family is living happily with all love and affection. Before the sun roses in the east, a beautiful young lady is working on her laptop having a cup of coffee. Her eyes are focused on the screen, analysing the data, and often checking towards the swinging cradle where a little girl is sleeping peacefully. By the time of sunrise, she closed the laptop and packed her bag.

A few minutes later, she changed into a complete professional and walked out to the living room.

“Noah! Good morning” She chuckled with a smile.

“Good morning, Beautiful! Why so early today?” He asked while forwarding the toasted bread with cheese.

“Yes, By Monday everything should be finished, and handover to the new management. This merging process is a bit tiresome and time taking as well. And today I might be late home can you take care of Eva?” She asked stuffing the bread in a hurry.

“Yes, sure, even I had the weekend off. I planned an outing, but you dumped all my plans,” He pouted, making a puppy face.

“Aww... Sorry, but pakka next week” She ran out giving him a side hug. She kissed her sleeping daughter’s forehead and bided an unwilling bye to complete her professional duties.

Office,

“Good morning, Niya. How far the work is done?” The MD asked with a professional smile.

“By evening everything will be ready, Mr. Dave,” she said.

“Make sure New CEO will be here by morning and we should provide all accurate documents to them before signing the agreement”

“Yes, sure” She was involved in her work.

By afternoon, she walked to the MD’s cabin, the entire office turned out as a holy mess. All her colleagues are working in a hurry.

“What happened?” She asked the secretary.

“Our new CEO Edward is here!” The secretary said in tense.

“What? But he was scheduled to join on Monday. Right?”

“Yes, but he came today to look at everything before the agreement. Dave said just informed me to call you. Please do inside they are waiting,” The Secretary spoke out.

Niya knocked on the door, confused.

“Come in” As she heard the MD tone, she pushed the glass door open to enter the cabin. As she looked up straight the files in her hand, meet the floor as she was shaken by seeing the person sitting in the chair.

“Edward Markk!” She murmured in horror. She was shaken, looking at him. Soon his eyes met her. His painful emotion turned out as anger remembering his past.

“Mr. Edward, she is our marketing chief, Miss. Niya” MD introduced them, being unaware of their burning past. She forced a smile, but the fear is hunting her.

“Nice meeting you, Mrs...” He whispered in a husky tone, shaking her hand with his in a tight squeeze. She pulled out her hand with pressure.

“Niya, can you please explain our marketing strategy and growth outcomes,” The Managing Director asked her offering a chair.

“Yes, sure. I will get the data files in a while which can give a better idea. Just a minute,” She scoffed out and ran out of the suffocated cabin, sweating high.

Niya pov,

I ran to my cabin after meeting my ex I.e. the new CEO of Olivia's Group. I heard the name as Edward but never thought that Edward is none other than Edward Mark I.e. Mark.

This cannot happen. He again turned out to be my boss. Why this world is so small? Why I again failed to move away from him? Did it end or he will force me to walk in with him?

I don’t have any interest to live with him. I had a life. I should answer him. I should stand for my freedom. I will never let him get hold of me. It’s not Juliet now. This is Niya, and this Niya can stand for herself. I should be strong and give him a strong reply. I’m no more his toy wife. I had my own ways. I should show him that I moved on. I collected my laptop and left back to the Director’s cabin to explain my Ex cum new CEO details.

As I entered the cabin, he looked at me with a smirk which ran a shiver down my spine. I settled on the chair in front of his table and smiled out, composing my thoughts. As I started my explanation, I failed to notice the departure of Dave. My words halted in horror, realizing the fact that we are alone in a room after 3 long years.

“Can you share the screen for me? I want to look at the flowcharts.” He muttered with a smirk. Things turned hard hearing his tone. I still remembered the times when we used to make out in the office.

“Mrs... Niya Else Juliet/ Mrs. Mark” He muttered getting up from his chair removing his blazer buttons and soon he removed his blazer and placed it on the chair beside me. I pressed my hand on the table, hearing him. He walked behind me holding my chair leaning on to me. I could feel his fiery breath on my back. Control, I shouldn’t feel this. I better leave this cabin before it turns harder. I moved out of my chair. He moved apart, letting me walk away towards the door. My happiness was ruined by his grip on my wrist. He pulled me back with a force, crashing me on his hard tone chest. I felt so hot feeling him after a long time. I thought he hates me, but his eyes are filled with love. He cupped my face with his hand. I opened my eyes while feeling his furious breath on my lips. I knew my past shouldn’t be repeated, but his holy touch is driving me crazy. My knees weaken under his gaze. He claimed my lips while his hands moved up to hold my face kissing me softly, small tender kisses, I whimpered but he kept on nipping and pressing his lips against mine. His tongue traced the seam of my closed lips, gently coaxing me to open my sweet mouth, which I placed a bare gate to give in. The feeling of his licking tongue against my lips made me gasp with shock, I just couldn’t resist anymore. I gave in for him, gifting the access card to enter my mouth. I opened my mouth in surprise, unwittingly granting him the entrance that he badly wanted. His tongue slipped inside my mouth, eliciting a moan from me. He pressed his hard body against my supple body and continued the skilful assault. He licked my lips, sucked on my lower lip, then upper lip, my tongue, just devouring my mouth. It stunned me, my mind reeling from his onslaught, not only on my lips and mouth but all my senses. I grabbed the collar of his shirt in my hands, to push him away or to pull him closer, of that I was not sure. I feel this is wrong, but my body was tingling with excitement. His tongue moved in and out of my mouth with the expertise of a skilled lover, He kissed me like a man dying of thirst. A sudden knock on the desk jolted me back to reality, lifting the dense fog of desire. I have bitten my lower lip, finding alone sitting on the chair.

I caressed my lip, just to know that it’s true or a dream. I turned towards him a little. To my surprise, he is standing against the closed-door smirking.

“Seems you still have the same effect under my gaze” He smirked. I know he is right, but I can’t accept the facts. I moved on.

“Your absolutely wrong, Mr. Mark, I was just thinking about my husband. He makes me feel better than you.” I muttered, getting up from my seat. I made my way towards the door to leave, but his words frozen me.

“I didn’t say that you can leave. Tonight, going to be longer for us. Inform your husband that the new CEO is a jerk, and he wants to settle all accounts and agreements tonight.” He whispered in my ear, loosening his tie. All the past incidents we had in office revolved in my head shivering me. I should think of some idea to leave this holy hell.
