ALINA'S POV:

  "NO!" I screamed

"Please don't hurt him, I will do anything just don't kill him! Please!"

"You can't do anything sweetheart, but you can die with him!" That bastard Xavier screamed back

"I love you" My dad said

"NO!" I sobbed as I saw him slitting him throat

I woke up from my horrible nightmare panting loud and hard. I get these nightmares almost every night, most of the reason why I have never gotten a peaceful night without nightmares since before my father died.

 I wasn't there to save him, but even if I was, I wouldn't have been able to do a thing about it to save his life. I would have died too. I thought. As I began crying, my alarm goes off at 6 AM, stating that it is time for me to get ready for work today.

I get up with big teary eyes and go to take a long hot shower while thinking about how things would be if everything that happened was different. But in the end, thinking about what things could have been is a waste of time because, it won't happen.

After I snap back into reality, I notice the hot water started to turn cold, so I finally got out of the shower, brushed my unruly mid back length honey hair into a high ponytail and picked out my clothing for the day.

 I didn't feel like wearing any dresses so I just threw on a white lace blouse, black pencil skirt, and a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. After getting dressed, I made me some coffee and a breakfast croissant, fed Abbi, got my purse, and headed out the door towards my car.

I went straight to work, said my greetings and dropped off the paperwork to my boss before going to my office and working on the rest of the files he gave me. 

"Alina, Please call Mr. Welsh and tell him about the contract me and my crew set up, set up a meeting with him" My boss asked me

"Sure thing boss" I replied

I called Mr. Welsh and told him about the contract that was set up by my boss, for him to sign and discussed what he will have to do. We went through the schedule and set up a date for him to meet up with Mr. Black, and then we said our goodbyes. 

The time went by so fast, It was already lunchtime and surprisingly, I was hungry. Usually I'm not hungry, but today, it seems that's not the case.

"Hey Alina, you wanna go to lunch with me and Peter?" Kimberly asked

Kimberly Cole and Peter Smith are my work friends. I met them the second day I first started working for Mr. Black. They were really nice to me, and they had this energy that made me want to go and do stuff more. Kimberly is only 2 years older than me, and Peter is 1.

"Yea sure, I'll be down in 5" I replied back

"Okay see ya" She smiled and walked away

I hurried and gathered all my belongings, before meeting them down in the lobby

"Okay, where are we going?" I asked them

"Scarpetta" Peter responded

I have never been to Scarpetta but i've heard a lot about it, and learned it is very expensive.

"Isn't that like expensive just for lunch? Not that I mind or anything, but why Scarpetta?"

"Yes, but don't worry, It's on me" Kim said

"You know I hate when people pay for me, especially when it is not cheap!"

"Okay now Alina, your just being so unreasonable. You will live, plus, for me it's nothing."

I would love to continue our argument over who's paying and all, but I know I won't win, so I guess I'll just agree.

"Fine, and only this time! I mean it" I told her

"Yes! Let's go guys!" Kim cheered

We walked with Kimberly to her car and headed towards Scarpetta, a restaurant located in Beverly Hills, California. 

As we walked inside, I noticed the beautiful interior in the restaurant. Everything about this place is amazing, and very luxurious. It had transparent sphere shaped yellow lighted chandeliers, black and white decorated tables & chairs, and well hygiened plants.

 Scarpetta was a lovely place to dine at anytime of any day. You could literally call this restaurant, Heavens Dinery. Although this was a very beautiful place, it is very pricey, and you'd have to have a lot of money to eat here.

Once the Waiter reserved us a seat, and asked us what we would like, we sat down and ordered our food. 

We all ordered and shared Roasted Jidori Chicken, Hen Egg Tagliolini, Roasted Diver Scallops, and a bottle of Ruinart Brut Rosé Champagne. This was more like dinner instead of lunch, but we were all hungry, and it was all gone before we had to leave to go back to work.

 As we were leaving, I saw a guy staring at me. I felt it while we were eating, but maybe i'm just being paranoid. 

"Hey, you okay?" Peter asked me

"Yes, I'm okay, just thinking" I told him

"You sure your okay, you seem a bit distracted by something?"

"Yea, no I'm good, it's nothing"

"Okay" 

"Hey, you guys ready? We should head out now, we need to get back to work, or we'll be late, and you know what that means for us" Kim told us

"Yea, we sure don't wanna be late" I said back

"Okay, let's go!" She responded

I wonder who that was looking at me, and why was he staring at me?

We headed back to the office, and I went straight into working mode. The whole entire day, I busied myself finishing everything my boss asked of me to distract myself from everything that has been happening, that I don't understand.

After I completed the work, it was a few minutes after my shift. I went to Mr. Black and handed all the work to him, he was very happy that I got everything done and so was I. After giving him all the paperwork, I packed up my belongings and headed home.

By the time I got home, it was after 10 and very late, meaning I won't get all my rest tonight. Getting out of my car, I noticed a sleek black Rolls Royce style SUV outside my house. I couldn't see who was inside because of the dark tinted car windows.

Okay! Now I don't think i'm paranoid. From the moment I heard about the guys that came to my house looking for me, weird unexplainable things have been happening. I chose to ignore everything lately, but maybe I shouldn't have. 

Also the guy at the restaurant! Maybe he is some part related to this? I don't know, but this is weird. I have no idea what I should do, what would be the best way to deal with this. I can't keep avoiding everything, because what if this whole situation is trying to tell me something? 

I really wish I wasn't the one who has to deal with this, but no, it chose me and I have no clue why, but back to my situation. What am I supposed to do? Should I go up to the car and ask the person inside why they are in front of my house? I asked my subconsciousness. Are you crazy Alina! No why would you do that? You don't know who the person is or what they want, so why would you go up to it? Make a run for it and hid in the closet! My subconscious told me.

Not knowing what I should actually do, I followed my instincts and made a run for it towards my house, but before I could make it inside, a guy opened the passenger door to the car. I stopped just for a second and turned around to see who the man was.

The man was handsome. He had a pale skin tone with dark brown medium length wavy hair, and around 6'3. He looked fit, like a man who works out all the time, and he was also wearing a white T shirt with a ripped black denim jacket, ripped black jeans and black shoes. He seemed around his early 30's, or at least 27.

After getting a good look at this man, I started to move my feet and continue running towards the house, but just a few steps before I could open the door to my home, he yelled "Stop", which made me stop and turn around to look at him. He had a sexy deep husky voice and it made my knees buckle underneath me.

"Who are you?" I asked

"You don't know who I am? Wow!" The man responded

"No I don't, please enlighten me. And while you are at it, why are you stalking me?"

"Good question, i'll tell you everything" He smiled at me
