Liza's P.O.V:

I was beyond shocked when he revealed that he did not do anything that night.

"I mean...I was...you know ...umm..I was not having clothes on..." I said looking at the ground.

I was feeling ashamed of me right then.

I was too fool to decide to drink that night.

I am ashamed of insulting James for the crime which he never did.

But...

"I came to you on the day after that incident and you accepted the fact that you did it...and even you planned it to get me...and then you were also not interested in keeping for the job anymore... What was all that? Were you lying that time or are you now?" I held his collar and demanded my answer.

"I lied that day." He said looking into my eyes.

"Why?"

"I was angry..angry at your behaviour...you were with Robert that whole evening...then I found you with him in a room...and to my great patience someone sent me an envelope full of your and Robert's photos in it. You both were kissing like a couple, you were hugging and touching." His ears became red from the anger which could be seen clearly on his face.

"What? I have never...kissed Robert."

"You are lying. I have seen the photographs of both of you. It was your birthday's pictures, you were wearing white dress and you were on the terrace." He explained.

"No..yes I was dancing with him. But I never kissed him and how could someone kiss her on their first meet. It was the first time when I saw him."

"But it was you...or maybe the photographs were taken purposely from that angle to...show as if you were kissing him." He said looking at a distance.

God! What is going on with my life.

Every day I come to know a new thing connected with my life.

"You didn't answer my one question..." I said to him in a low voice.

"What?" He said in the same tone.

"I..there was not a single.... cloth on my body." I nervously uttered the words.

"Umm..." He came a little closer to me and whispered in my ear.

"I have done many things to you...on that night except the main part.." shiver ran down my spine after hearing that.

I held his shirt with both of my hands in anger.

"How could you use me like that?"

"You were the one who was igniting my lust..I mean you were not leaving my shirt...in the same way like this." He said gesturing towards my hand.

I removed my hands and took some steps back.

"You may go now." I said pointing towards the door.

"Don't be stubborn Miss Miller. You know very well you will not be able to payback the money." He said in a serious tone.

Why not? When i know I am a capable assistant, I could get a better job right?

"It is my problem Mr. Ashton."

"You know what you are a b****."

"Get lost James Ashton." I shouted at him but instead he walked towards me.

"You are such a b**** that you didn't realized what happened that night. You are so used to this wh***** thing that it was too common to you. And you thought I will put a hand on your type of a girl? How cheap are you?"

Tears were ready to rain down from my eyes from his usual behaviour.

He was too close to me that it was very easy for me to slap him and so did it.

I slapped him hard. He put his fingers on his cheek and rubbed his jaw in anger. I could say that it was a good slap from the stinging of my hands.

"Stop it and get out from here." I shouted again.

"Does my cheek show you a welcome sign that whenever you want you can slap me?" He asked in an irritated voice.

"Do my lips show you a welcome sign that whenever you want you can kiss me?" I said in the same tone.

"Now I get it, you came here only to insult me..how cheap are you Mr. Ashton? You came from a different city only to take out your dirty mind through your black tongue?"

"My tongue is not black. And I am telling you the last time, come with me." He said it seriously.

Didn't he get it by the slap? That I want him to go away?

"Get Lost James Ashton."

"You know it very well that you are going to join that company anyhow." He said with determination.

"Why?"

"Because..." He raked his hand through his hair.

"I am unable to work properly in the absence of my assistant. You don't have any idea how much we have lose in those four months. I have lost many agreements, the company is facing lots of problem. And all because of you."

"What? Now you are putting the blame on me, Wow."

"Yes..because I am unable to take correct decision and all my works are still not completed. Join the company Miss Miller, I really need you." The last word tucked at my heart in a sweet manner.

"But..you were doing fine when I was there, even you were very capable that sometimes you didn't bother to take help from me."

"Yes I am still capable of that, I only want you to be there...that way...I think I will be concentrating on my work and...not in your whereabouts."

Woah! Was he thinking about me all the time?

He was looking into my eyes sincerely.

Or...is he playing games to convince me?

"James I don't want to go back. I want to live here forever. And I am serious about my decision."

"No.. you will come with me. I.." he closed his eyes and then opened it. "I will never hurt you again...please.. I am requesting you to come back.."

Is he the same James with whom I was talking five minutes ago?

How could someone change in few minutes?

"I know there was no agreement like that. You have made it by yourself...a fake one." I said pointing to the papers then looked at him.

He was stunned.

He didn't say anything.

I knew it, he could do that too.

"Come with me." He said with no emotion.

"It was Robert who created misunderstanding between us, but if from now on you will stay away from him then I think we will not be having any problem." He said again while picking up the papers.

"But...now it means that I don't have to work for you anymore, as there was no two years contract."

He narrowed his eyes.

"Are you coming or not?" He said clenching his teeth.

"Is it upto me? Then I am not." I said crossing my hands.

In a minute I was pushed to the wall.

"Don't try my patience Liza..." His both hands were either side of me.

"James...you can't force me, you can't force anyone to do the job."

"God Liza! How stubborn are you? You know you have to come with me then stop bickering."

Should I go? Or not?

"Liza please for my sake, for the company, come back. If there was someone else I wouldn't have bother to asked him or her once. But here I am requesting you, I have come all the way to get you back, but you are going on with your stubbornness. I said I will not hurt you. I will not come close to you, even I will not enter your office. Just be my assistant and that is all." He said while moving away from me.

I know you very well Ashton that once I will be there you will forget every word that you are telling now.

"Fine. I will tell you my decision tomorrow." I said and he gave a nod.

His expression was showing that he was not satisfied with my reply.

He started going towards the door, then stopped.

"Don't tell anyone that this was a fake contract paper, especially... Robert and your mother." He said and was out of the door.

It was dinner time. And my mind was playing the scene that happened that day.

Should I go or not?

"Liza? Are you alright?" My father asked me.

"Yes.. umm.. actually I am full, I don't want to eat more, excuse me."

It was useless to sit there because my mind was busy in thinking about my decision.

I changed into my dress and switched on my phone.

Once it was on, continuous sound of incoming messages started to buzz.

I started to read some of them, mostly it was from James and Robert.

I heard a knock and my mother entered.

"So at last you have switched it on." She smiled and sat beside me on the bed.

"Umm.." I hurriedly deleted the message, it was from James.

"Liza.. I haven't asked you all the things which are bothering you, because I thought you will share it when you will be ready. But..you are still behaving the same..and James is continuously calling me and asking for you. What is going on Liza?"

Sh*t!

He shouldn't have called my mother.

Then you should have kept your phone on.

"Actually mama.. I signed a contract of two years with the Ashton but I didn't remember it and I joined the William's, so James want me to join the company back."

"Why did you left the job there?"

Sh**

"Because of some misunderstandings." My mother didn't push me to know more and I was glad for that.

"Should I join the company or not?" I asked my mother.

"It's upto you Liza. But if you think that it may hurt you in the future then you should not, but if you think you will be happy after joining it then you must, I don't want to see my daughter in this state anymore. You were so happy when I last visited you there, you were having friends there, and see you right now, you are looking like a zombie." She laughed.

"Mama.." I pouted.

"Goodnight dear."

"Goodnight."

I went infront of the mirror.

Whoa! I was indeed looking like zombie.

James saw me like this...

Sh**!

But he didn't say anything about my looks...

And even he kissed me in this state...

James you are a confusing man..

In the last one year I have came to know everything about you..even sometimes I could say what you feel...

You are not accepting it that...you like me...

Or maybe you love me...

I could say only by looking at your eyes when you are angry, when you are sad or happy...

I could feel your attraction towards me...

This not only lust Mr. James Ashton ...

And I promise I will realise you your feeling towards me.

If I could fall for a psychopath...

Then I am at least right in my brain to be loved by someone, right?

See you tomorrow James Ashton.
