I was on the run from my ex, desperate for a fresh start, when I stumbled upon a restaurant and began working for a grumpy new boss.
He intimidated me with his bluntness and dominant demeanor.
But when we got trapped together, something ignited between us. He had been hurt in the past, and I could tell he was hesitant to open up again. But when I finally told him about my last relationship, his protective side came out in full force.
Just as we started to fall for each other, my ex found me again.
I was too scared to say no when he forced me to go out with him, but thankfully, I managed to escape.
After taking me to the hospital, we found something far more unexpected than bruises. When I told my boss-turned-lover what really happened, he vowed that nobody would hurt me again.
I don’t know what will happen when he finds out my ex… is his brother.
