Someone's fuck toy

"i know she is your little play thing right now but it will mean a lot for Annika to see that girl more. At least while you have her", Nikolai spoke pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Annika gets what she wants", I turned to him.

"Damn right she does", Nikolai agreed. My uncle's loyalty to his wife was admirable. I mean who could tie themselves to one woman for the rest of their lives. Nikolai did it, he has never cheated on her.

Was it love that made Nikolai Makalov bend over backward for the headstrong Russian woman who caught his attention when he had gone home to help his brother. Instead of helping his brother in that six moth period, he wound up with a wife and nephew to bring back to the states.

"Did love drive my uncle?! How does it even feel to love someone?!

"Well since I have passed on my gorgeous wife's request, I'm going to make sure our assistants find the maintenance manager. We need that projector working", He sighed and stepped closer to place his hand on my shoulder. "And remember be careful",

"Yeah, yeah go do work", I shrugged his hand off my shoulder and kept my eyes on the window as he left. I knew what he meant by telling me to be careful. Pushing his words at the back of my mind, my eyes watched the plane fly over the clear blue sky and from this floor of this building, I almost imagined, I could reach out and plunk it from the sky.

"Damn it", I rubbed my hand over my face, trying to clear my thoughts then lastly made my way back to my desk.

However the instant I sat in my chair again the door to my office opened. I wanted to drop my face in my palms and growl at the constant interruptions. To make matters worse, it was again Harriet.

"Did you find the manager?", I kept my tone impassive.
"Oh! Yes he is on his way over now. There's some traffic in the city but he said he can get the projector fixed as soon as he gets here", She held her hands behind her back in a way that made her breasts jut forward.

"There's always traffic in the city, it's New York", I responded but I had my eyes focused on the screen, deleting any emails that I didn't need. "If that's everything, you can go home",

I heard her take a deep breath and exhale on a sigh. "Well I heard you bringing someone else to the Gala and I guess I just thought that I would be there",
"Harriet you will be at the Gala as well, as my assistant, as an employer of the company", I looked up finally, my gaze hard and emotionless.

"But I thought there was more with us", Now she was at the edge of my desk and I sorely felt anger flow in my blood. She was seriously getting on my nerves.
"No, you my assistant and that's it", I spoke through gritted teeth. If she doesn't stop, I will have to fire her. Per now that's not the thing I wanted. I didn't want to add finding a new assistant to my workload.

"All those times, I sucked your cock under your table meant nothing to you?", There was tremor in her voice that finally caught my attention. I looked up and saw the waterworks in her brown eyes. I felt nothing at the sight. Not pain but just anger.

"Look Harriet, it was a mistake to let it go as far as it did. But if you want your career at my side to continue then you need to drop that and let it go", I hoped she was smart enough to hear the threat in my voice.
"Let it go or lose your job", I spoke again.

"I understand", She sniffled. "But it should have been me. After all I have done and all I do for you. It should be me", She went on. I closed my eyes for a second after hearing her words but I opened them then went back to scanning my work.
"See you at work on Monday",

Her heel stomped the floor at my dismissal and I didn't even look up when she slammed the door upon her exist. That was another broken heart in my wake but I didn't give a shit. All I wanted right now was to leave the office and go back to my Rhea.

RHEA'S POV.
"Sleep tight papa, I love you", I pressed a kiss on his forehead while listening to his soft snores. He had fallen asleep while we watched the news on the tv. It was nice that he didn't cough as much while he was sleeping.

After my morning with Aleksander, I had a hard time getting ready for the day. That man had left me out of sorts. When he left me, I couldn't get my thoughts under control. He had left me on the edge and disappeared with the wicked promise of what tonight could be.

In the few hours I had to myself before Antonio was scheduled to pick me up, I went to the hospital around the block and spent the majority of my morning here. Papa and I drank coffee together and I told him about how the show was going.

Part of me felt bad for not telling him about Aleksander but when it boiled down to it, I had no reason to tell him. Aleksander was just another passing client in my life and nothing more. I couldn't tell papa about it even though it left a hole in my heart. I currently wanted to have no stress.

Every time with my papa reminded me of a happy childhood and simpler days with a family that cherished me. That was all now memories. My whole life now changed.
