Thanks again for all the reviews and as I promised I have got the update here for you, but I have to warn you that my next chapter will take some time as my exams are coming up so I hope you guys bear with me.

I have been trying to get myself a beta reader but so far I have had no response from any of them, sadly I am still doing my editing, and some of you seemed to think my editing wasn't that bad…. Thanks for that comment but I still want to deliver good quality to you guys so I will pursue to get myself a beta.

Please have those reviews rolling because it motivates me to complete the story… I do not want to be faced with writers' block due to lack of reviews.

I DO NOT OWN G/W: it still depressing saying it…………

Chapter 6

Her eyes were blurred after staring into the computer screen for too long, damn if she hadn't forgotten her contacts she wouldn't be suffering, but then again didn't she have a spare pair of spectacles here at her work station for emergencies.

Relena rolled away from her desk to look through he messed drawers, no one on their right minds would dare to open the stuffed domain but she needed to look for those spare pair of spectacles if she planned on working any further and if she wanted to avoid a skull splitting headache.

She looked into the last of the drawer she hadn't checked, stretching her hand into some unknown depth and hoping to god there wasn't anything in there that would snap her fingers, after few minutes of struggling she felt the outline of a pair of glasses, she pulled them out to see, a thin pair of pale gold wire rimmed spectacles which was tightly clutched between her fingers and though it could do with some cleaning if she planned to see anything through the grease covered lenses.

She walked towards the washroom to find her boss walking the other way in a rush as if all hell had broken loose. At the sight of Relena the short plump woman stopped and sighed "Hi Rel, no time to explain I want you down in the conference room downstairs for an urgent session" she patted Relena and walked away towards the work station she had just come from. Relena shrugged and walked over to the washroom, thinking she needed her glasses cleaned before she attended anything.

She washed them with a bit of heavily scented hand wash and held them to the light to see if she had missed any spots. When she was satisfied with her handy work, which meant that she had washed her specks three times, she dried them off and fixed her pale hair in a neater pony tail and walked towards the elevator to get to the seminar room. She looked at the time on her way down, she was late, about 15 minutes but then none of the meetings held in this company were important, they usually always consisted of time wasting jargons.

She entered the room which was already crowded so her lateness was not noticed by anyone, it was dark because the lights have been turned off and the projector was being setup to be run. Relena smiled so she hadn't missed much of it anyway.

Her boss stood up near the mike which was lowered to her by one of the technical staff members to suite her height. She beamed at everyone and said "well since the basic introduction is complete I would like to say that there will be some staff adjustments which would be personally handled by the CEO" she paused and smiled at someone in the head table, whom Relena couldn't see except for the dark outline.

"We are glad of the changeover which makes it easy for us to work with the Wing Zero Insurance company who for the past phase of time has been our main customer in claims, the presentation is just a welcome overview" she turned the mike off and sat back in the a dark corner of the head table.

Relena looked at the person standing next to her, it was some guy she had seen on and off on the corridor from the accounts department, whose name she didn't know but she tapped him on the shoulder "Excuse me, I am afraid I was a little late for the whole thing, would you mind filling me up" the young man looked at Relena first with a surprise, then recognition and finally to appreciation. She got that from many men that it was second nature for her to ignore it.

"Sure, we are, that is Earth and Sphere Solicitors, are a part of Wing Zero family, and today's the launch of the new management" he said smiling. Relena blinked at this sudden and unexpected news.

"oh. So what happens next" she asked questioningly.

He shrugged "Nothing we carry on as usual, the works the same, but I think there will be some minor changes in some departments"

"wow, that can't be fun for some people then" she said thinking she wouldn't like it herself if her position and work description changed.

"it depends, if your promoted then it's a good thing, by the way, I am Jake Steele" he said stretching out a hand to her.

She smiled and took it "Relena Darlian" and turned her attention to the presentation which harped on and on about the benefits on joining one of the world's largest and profitable companies. The Wing Zero group, which ranged from hotels, to jets, to cruises to aero planes to computers to Insurance and everything under the sun.

Relena didn't know much about the group except that it was linked to an older business line and hardly saw anything of the management except the underdogs who did the majority of its work, it was always representatives of the company that partook in media events and never the group or person that was really responsible for the company.

But she guessed that people who were into the whole business thing knew who it was, she on the other hand was never a person who actually cared for the hard and callous world of business.

Relena was back at her work station before anyone else, she found the entire thing a complete waste of time and she had a load of cases that needed to be sorted which didn't happen on its own if she didn't sit there and get some headway.

She was on a telephone call with the police trying to get details for a police report for an accident when Amy her boss popped her head in, Relena looked at her and raised her hand asking her to wait for a minute until the call finished.

She finally kept the receiver down and messaged her temples in frustration, one down and 60 more to go she thought depressingly. She looked up at Amy and smiled "what can I do for you".

"Can I see you in the boardroom, nothing to worry the new management wants a word with some of the employers" she smiled.

"oh gee, what fun" said Relena letting out a sigh. Amy giggled, despite being her boss, Amy had more teenage like qualities than any of her work mates, she wore her hair short and she had black and burgundy highlights which added to her bubbly nature, but she has never failed to solve any issues when the time came, which has been the reason why no one doubted her capability despite her less than serious aura.

"Oh Rel, you know I hate this myself, I didn't really have to come to get you but it was so damn boring I was sure to snore, so I thought up the perfect excuse to stretch my legs and to escort you" she winked and walked away knowing Relena was behind her following.

She stood outside the door letting Relena in, Relena thought that Amy was going to go in as well but was surprised to see her turn around and leave, she was going to open the door and call her out when a voice stopped her mid action.

"We meet again" she knew that voice, it had haunted her during much of her nights, she hated it but she liked it at the same time, and she didn't think that made sense at all but that was how she felt and nothing was clear when it came to the owner of the voice anyway.

She turned to confirm her fear, to make sure that her nightmares were not happening during daylight but as she took in the image of the individual who was standing there behind the large oak table she realized that she would have preferred the nightmare to the real thing. His eyes were studying and they seemed to look even more hard and cynical than she remembered. His features ever more sharp and rigid and if possible he seemed to have grown more handsome over the years, time has definitely been good to him. He towered over her more than 6 feet she was sure in a stance as if he was lazy but his eyes were sharp she was sure he knew how many times she blinked. He looked like a panther, dangerous and unpredictable.

"You" she said, that was all she could muster to say, after taking pain staking efforts to make sure she avoided ever meeting this man she couldn't believe he had finally caught up with her.

He raised an eyebrow at her comment "Come on Relena you cannot say you are not happy to see me" he said lazily, his mouth slanted in a sardonic smile.

"Happy? Far from it Yuy" she spat.

"Easy there sweetheart, I was hoping you would run arms stretched out towards me when we met, but guess I had hoped too much" he shrugged but he was still watching her every action.

"What are you doing here" she asked ignoring his comment and his endearment to her.

"I saw you coming late downstairs for the launch, which would explain your sudden surprise of seeing me, I couldn't have asked for a more appropriate response" he smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Relena looked around the room wondering where were the officials she was supposed to be meeting and who had let him in "and where is the management, I don't have time for this, I am supposed to meet some of the management now".

"Your looking at the sole management honey" he said spreading his arms wide and now walking towards her.

Relena froze, of course how stupid could she be, if Heero Yuy was there it was likely he was the owner of the multimillion group, explains the old connection to the business branch which would be his parents. And to top it all now he owns the blistering company she worked. She didn't want to quit the place, she liked what she was doing and she couldn't afford to change jobs right now as well but Heero Yuy was bad news and it was even graver news when he knew of her existence.

"What do you want?" she asked thinking best to know what his brilliant mind was planning this time.

"Well since we know each other I thought it would be nice to have a little chat, bring back memories" he said with cruel amusement looking at her lips, he was the devil himself, she thought and handsome to the point.

"Cut the crap Yuy, what do you really want?" she looked him directly in the eye but knew what his answer was before he said it.

He smiled and stood right in front of her "I hear you are no longer in good terms with Zechs " he waited for a response and since she didn't bother giving one he continued "and you refused your share, finally got the life you wanted Relena" he moved even closer, her whole body felt like goo, and she was sure she would be a puddle beneath his feet any second but she held her ground.

"I did a bit of some background check, and it seems you are short on money, and on a mortgage" she just listened to him, waiting for the punch line.

"you know what's funny Relena? Your mortgage is to one of my banks" he was now inches from her face and she felt his breadth on her lips. She looked up at him in shock she didn't know that the bank she got her mortgage was his.

He chuckled seeing her surprise look "so the fact is you need extra money to save your apartment and car, but the pay here helps you barely and I got to know that you have applied for a loan from the company as well"

She looked at him for a long while and nodded. He pulled back a little better to see her features.

"now Relena we both know I can help you, but the choice is yours, whether you ask for it or if you wish to lose everything you got in a blink of an eye, or….. crawl back to your brother for forgiveness and ask for some money" he let the last word trail off.

Relena knew she will never go back to her family and her brother was the closest she was with but that all died the night he asked her to quit forensic and made her promise never to pursue it, she agreed to this but the final strike was when he had arranged her marriage to a freak to keep the family name and add more wealth, she knew Milliardo was stubborn and he was true to his word, he had said that if she refused she will have no help from home and no inheritance. She refused, she wasn't prepared to be unhappy the rest of her life and he had cut out her source of money, Noin tried to defend her but Milliardo wouldn't budge, so in order to save her brother's marriage and for her own pride she left.

She looked at Heero, obviously he knew of the situation, he was close with the social group Milliardo hung around with and Trowa who was a friend of Milliardo's.

"What do you propose Yuy?" she asked.

"Well I will give you the money to save your apartment and car and take care of the loan, you won't have to pay me back at all" he said now looking very serious.

"What's the catch, I don't think you will do anything for nothing" she was looking at a point above his shoulder unable to look at him.

"In exchange my dear, I want you" he said his mouth set a grim line and his eyes hard as granite.

Relena reeled the information in her head, she remembered him in colleague, he had wanted her then but she wasn't stupid to accept him even though she was attracted to him, she knew he just wanted sex. He had dared her that he will get her in his bed and he had apparently held the thought for all those years. She was trapped but she still felt like fighting.

"If I refuse" she demanded.

He smiled with mild amusement "well you don't get the money and I don't think I will be able to approve that loan you have requested from work, but I am not a cruel man Relena, you will have your job, but we both know that's not enough to save you".

She was more hurt than angry, she had lost a lot of things and someone at her position would have thrust something heavy at him but she knew she had no outlet, if she didn't she wouldn't get the loan from work which meant she was doomed, and he was willing to give her the money with no repayment back for a body.

"So if I sleep with you toady the deal is done" she asked.

He laughed at her, it was a hard and a bitter laugh "what makes you think I just want you for one day Relena, I want you as long as I want you, I want you as my mistress, and you will be there whenever I want you"

Relena swallowed realizing the gravity of his request, he wanted her for longer than one day.

"How long are we talking about?" she asked tentatively.

"Months, so do you wish to take the offer?" he asked watching her closely.

Relena bit her lip and finally nodded. "a deal then Mr. Yuy" and Heero extended an arm. Relena looked at him.

"But let's not pretend that it's a civilized offer" Relena heard herself add as she took a step back from him.

Heero took a step forward and before she had the slightest idea of his intention he framed her cheek with long tan fingers and brought his beautiful insolent mouth down in a mocking taunt on hers. Shock held her paralyzed for the first ten seconds and then a wild surge of heat flamed up between her thighs, stretching every feminine muscle taut. It was like flame in freezing temperatures, shocking and sudden and shatteringly sweet.

He lifted his arrogant dark head again, his scorching dark Prussian blue gaze raking in an assessing arc over her dazed expression.

"Being civilized can be overrated Relena. My lawyers will be in touch. If everything is in order I will contact you next week."

Relena looked at him still shocked but her brain started to kick first gear. "Lawyers?"

"Well we need to make sure everything is in order before I pay off the money and the fact that you keep your end of the bargain, you know of course you will not be working here anymore" he added.

She nodded, if he planned to have her as his full time mistress he would want her to be there available, not at work and since he traveled it was likely she had to tag along.

He gave her one last hard look and left the room leaving her to realize what a big mistake she had made and that it was too late to back down now. ……………………..

I hope you guys liked it, the chapters a bit short but I managed to get the concentrated facts into it, probably one of the important chapters.
