"Focus on the target Isabella."
"Well if you stop breathing next to my ear maybe I'll get it this time." Sydney is standing directly behind me and to say I'm not even slightly affected would be a total lie.
I try to shoot the target but I miss it by a few inches and I groan in frustration. "We can still come back tomorrow. You shouldn't strain." I nod but try once again but the same thing happens.
I've forced Sydney to teach me how to shoot. I know some self defense that I learnt when my kidnapper threatened to come back for me when he went to jail and since I'm pregnant, I can't get involved with such vigorous activity and so I decided to shoot. It took a lot of persuasion to convince Sydney and now here I am after an hour of training at the back of the cottage.
"Are you hungry? I can fix you something to eat." Sydney says as he heads to the kitchen. It's been four days since I came to this place and Sydney decided to come live here too after he thought a pregnant woman should never live alone. Especially if it's the mother of his child.
I can't complain since he's so clean, organized and a good cook. How can I refuse that? The only bad thing is that he treats me like some fragile thing.
"Sandwich will be great." I watch as he gets everything and prepares them. I noticed that when he does something, he does it with all his attention. "I have an important meeting in two hours. Will you be okay?" I nod.
"I'm so bored here. Can I come with you?" 'What is wrong with you?' "I mean not to the meeting. I've never seen your office and I'm curious to see it." Lie. I saw it after I fainted on the day I went for the interview but I think he doesn't remember.
"I carried you to my office after you fainted." Sydney raises an eyebrow and immediately my cheeks heat. He remembers.
"Please." Why do I even want to go?
"Okay. Get ready." My eyes widen. I never expected him to agree.
"You agreed? That easily?" I tease him. "Do I have you wrapped around my finger?" I tease him further and he gives me a warning glare. I roll my eyes and eat the sandwich he gives me.
"My office has an en suit so I don't see the need for you to come out. Under no circumstances should you get out of my office if I'm not there." I roll my eyes.
"Yes daddy." I say my tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Yeah, yeah. Go against me and daddy will give you a spanking." Sydney says with a sexy smirk making my cheeks heat up instantly. My eyes go wide. Oh my gosh! I rush out of the kitchen to my room while I hear Sydney laugh. Shameless man.

"So why would Isabella Styles want to come to the office with me? You know it's dangerous there. The Italians come to see us frequently."
I shrug. "I just wanted to see your office. I'm so bored at home." I've watched movies to last me a lifetime.
