Addiction

"Anyway... when I came back from States I didn't see you here...were you out of town for some important reason?"

Alexander was suddenly curious to know that why Leo wasn't here all this long and no one told Alexander the reason that why Leo left not even Amelia and before Alexander should ask her anything she was missing

Hearing Alexander's question Leo was suddenly taken aback he wanted to tell Alexander the real reason himself but all that came out of his mouth was this

"Ask your sister!"

These words were unexpected and surprising for Alexander as he just stare at Leo speechless, his gray orbs looked shocked as he title his head once again, his lips parted as he wanted to ask Leo so much

Why he was saying that? what does he mean by asking your sister? was that Loren who was the reason for him moving away from here

Alexander was out of the words, in his head there was a storm of different thoughts but his attention turned to Leo when he heard him speaking

"Anyway, haven't thought it would be that great taking to you but here I need to go now... but we will meet soon again!"

Leo stood up and spoke with a smile plastered on his face. he was all calm and chill but what he said a while ago turned Alexander's head upside down that he couldn't think straight nor even utter a word However he managed to nod in agreement and Leo went off

It was all goods and great until Leo some those three words *Ask your sister* that's when Alexander was out of his mind

Even after Leo left Alexander just sat there for some time to calm himself, he didn't know what to do he was just blank until his phone rang

First, he ignored the call but soon pulled out his phone from his pocket. looking at the screen he saw Dom's number but didn't pick up

Alexander wasn't in his right mind of state to think anything or to talk to anyone he just stared at the screen and let his phone ring until the call ended on its own

A deep sigh left his mouth as putting his phone back in the pocket of his coat he stood up before walking back towards his car. getting in he just went off somewhere to fresh his mind

"GET OUT OF MY CABIN I SAID!!!"

"Huh ok ok I'm sorry mam this won't happen again I'm really sorry---"

Loren shouted in rage at one of the workers of heart company. her sudden shout made the girl startled badly as she flinched and back off a little

The girl started apologizing but her words got cut off by Loren

"Never in the world show me your face again or you won't like the consequences!"

Slamming the palms of her hand on the table in front of her with a loud sound Loren spoke calmly. her voice sounded calm but her words were enough to make anyone scare of her

Whereas the girl was scared shocked sad and confused at the same time, scared because she knew Loren's evil side. shocked because of how Loren shouted at her. sad because she just got fired

And the confusion in her head was all there not knowing why Loren was behaving like that when the mistake she made wasn't even that big

The girl had nothing to say anymore as she knew if she dare to ask anything she will get bombed by Loren so she just bowed 90 degrees down and left her cabin

The mistake she made was isn't that huge and the reason for kicking at out of the company was kind of lame but Loren didn't care

The rage in her was at its height since she met Dom her mind was out of control and nothing was helping her to calm down. she didn't know what she was doing

The words Dom said were roaming in her head making everything worst. she wanted to throw everything out and calm herself but even doing that would not help her

Sitting back in her seat she closed her eyes and took some deep breaths to normalize the pace of her heart

First, she didn't want to take anyone's help but finally having no option she decided to ask for help from Dom but what happened? she was just regretting everything now

Her eyes shot open as she sat straight her hands went towards one of the drawers opening it as she stares for some time at what's inside

Taking a cigarette along with a lighter out of the drawer. first, she stared at it but then couldn't help it as she lights it up before putting it between her lips. A sudden satisfaction was shown clearly on her face as she started smoking

That's something she has been hiding from everyone but the only person who knows about it is Leo

Yes Loren does smoke but not so often but today she couldn't control herself and did what she has been avoiding for a long time now

Standing up she walks towards a window, slightly opening it as she didn't want the smoke to fill up her cabin and she can't afford anyone to know her secret

Loren knew it was a bad habit but it's been with her from way before when she was a teenager. * let's just try once* this was the only reason for her getting into this and then it made her addiction which she can't live without

She regretted doing so but now at this point, she just can't help it

The smoke, the cigarette did help her to be calm a little, she felt satisfied.

Loren just let off a deep breath along with the smoke coming out of her mouth

She definitely was addicted

Even tho she was calmed a bit now but Dom was the only thing which was not leaving her psyche

Was there another secret?
