FREDS' POV ONE

Fred's POV
Fred's background

I'm not like every one else. I have millions of secrets that the average person would not be able to handle. I did not come from a loyal and loving family, and I was never allowed to have a child hood. My father was always strict on us and he was extremely strict on me. He wanted me to train endlessly to become his underling and take over being the CEO of his company. That however was never what I wanted to do, nor did he care.
When I got older, my father still didn't hear reason but since I was not living under his roof any more, he could not really dictate my decisions any longer and that made him furious at times.
Once I turned twenty-five, I had started working at LLC Industries and I have currently been there for about five years. It hasn't been easy but I earned the position of COO and I reveled in every aspect of my hard work. Of course, no matter how far I got in life, it always seemed that my Father was never impressed with me.
Through all the hard work and sweaty tears I put in to becoming a better man and a proud one at that, he was never accepting of me. I knew why and I couldn't care less. There were some things that I did that I wasn't entirely proud of doiong when I was younger, but I learned from my mistakes and made everything better to my knowledge and my abilities.
What shook me was how my father treated me aside from my sister and brothers. He didn't train or belittle them like he did me, but when ever I would attempt to ask him about the horrible fucking way he treated me as a child, he would always say that he 'never expected any thing from my siblings and that I was the only one that held promise to him. Enough for him to select his life over mines and tell me that I was always destined to be in a higher position' and in other words to become him.
My father was an abusive, treacherous, and dishonest bastard and he never owned up to his mistakes. He would abuse, lie, and cheat on my lovingly and loyal mother til at times she would try to commit suicide. I don't know what my mother saw in this bastard, but there are good things that came from their relationship.
Nothing would ever phase my father. Whether good or bad, he always kept a poker face around us and would always speak to us as if he was higher than God himself. He never spoke highly of any one, he was never willing to listen to reason, and he was an honest self bastard of a father.
Who knew that one day every bad deed would come to bit him in the ass? Who fucking knew that every one would leave his side, including my mother, once we got older and were able to? As the old saying goes, what goes around comes around. Isn't that what it was?
Now he lives in such a big luxurious mansion, along with his servants that he trusts in so well, all by his terrible self and normally, no one would give a fuck about him or even go to check on him. As long as he was healthy and still breathing, there was no reason why any one would go to see him. Isn't that exactly what he deserves?
Every time I would think about how far I have come and how much damage my father did just for me to become like him, when in the end it was all for nothing, he waisted his precious little time. Maybe if he had shown us more love and affection, it wouldn't have gotten this bad.
After all of those years, he disowned me and chose that for a very long while, not to even speak a word to me until now. Now, he calls me every few days and checks on me to see if I'm alive and healthy and to stick his grubby nose in my business, like I didn't fucking know his motive. You raised me remember?
I had been working at LLC Industries for now, at least five years and I have never set my eyes on such a beautiful woman til now. When she walked in I could tell that she came from a good background and she carried such pride and confidence about herself.
She introduced herself as Aria Hayden and from that day forward, she would be in the position of Aidens' assistant. She stated that she would be helping us carry some of the weight off our shoulders with how the company was ran, how she could help in accounting since that was her major, and how she could balance most agreements with other companies in the future. All I could think about was 'this woman'.
No one has ever walked in to this company with their heads held high and such confidence about the way they could handle what ever was being thrown at them with out a problem.
This woman Aria, was surely out for my own dead heart. Not only was she extremely intelligent, but she was fucking gorgeous at that! She has the right curves in the right places and she even spoke with a proud and clear voice that just shook the room and every one listened to her.
Some thing about this woman drew me in to her like no other. The classiness, the ownership, the proudness she carried about herself made me want to know her better.
At times when I was at the office, it seemed like Aiden couldn't keep his eyes nor his hands off of her for that matter and yes it fucking bothered me to the core. Aiden and I had been working together since his father took over the company and we even started to work here at the same time.
He was always the one that could get all the women and that seemed so highly than every one else. I had once met a man just like him and that was my father. Always so smug and selfish of things. Always so content on his own bullshit. Not me though, I never saw myself as being better than any one else. Yeah, sure I was in a position higher than the average Joe but I never waved my prizes in another persons face.
No matter what I went through or how high I was to others, i always treated people with the upmost respect that they deserved. Of course if they didn't accept who I was, acknowledged my position, then they got treated less than the dirt on the bottom of my shoes.
This woman made me feel ways that I never knew were there and I would have never laid my eyes on a some female for too long, because I would get bored, but not her. My eyes had a mind of their own when ever she was in the office.
I would usually finf myself thinking about her, so one day apart from the first, I decided to come in to work to pick up some papers that I needed to send to HR. When I walked in I immediately spotted her and right there in that moment I decided to introduce myself to her personally.
I knocked on her door and waited for her to answer. She was so busy filing papers and taking calls when I stepped inside her office that she didn't even look up at me at first.
"Hello, Ms. Aria? I'm Fred the COO here at LLC. Nice to meet you." I said as I held my hand out to her and she finally looked at me while shaking my hand. She began to ask me questions that pertained to how long I had been working here. Somehow she knew what she was doing, but she still seemed to be confused as to how we ran things so I offered her assistance on what ever she needed help with.
While I was speaking, her eyes seemed to linger on me, well on my body, way too long and I couldn't help but to notice for the simple fact that she was actually staring at me. Whether she was staring or just glancing, didn't matter to me. Entirely, I didn't really mind.
"You know you could just call me Aria without all of the formalities right?" She said as she looked me in my eyes. I leaned over and placed my hands on her desk and gave her the same sassy ass attitude she was giving off, "You don't say? Hmm, how about I call you...Boss lady? Does that give you some sort of satisfaction?" She leaned back in her chair and bit her lip and that's when I knew that even she was attracted to me, even if it was just a little. "Sure, if that's what pleases you Fred." She said smiling as she began to type on her computer.
"Well, as I've said. If you desirably need anything just let me know and I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my ability." I said as I winked at her before I walked out of her office.
I went inside of my office, grabbed the files that I needed and left with a devilish smirk on my face. "Hmph. We'll see how this goes Ms.Aria. Tit for tat if that's how you like to play it." I said to myself while taking my coat from the valet, got into my car and sped off.
