Misguided Target Read Online Free PDF Page B

in movies where the girl thinks the handsome man left, but he actually just went to out to get breakfast. Sadly, after thirty minutes it was painfully obvious he wasn't coming back. I couldn't believe he actually left! He didn't even bother to leave me a note or anything. What a douchebag! I wished so badly I'd gotten his number last night so I could call him to tell him off for being such an asshole.
    I took a long, hot shower feeling unbelievably angry. I couldn't believe after everything that happened and everything he'd said last night that he'd just left. I thought we had a connection, but I guess not. I was unbelievably thankful that we hadn't had sex. Worst of all, I believed him when he told me that he thought I was beautiful. I feel like such a fool. So many men have said sweet things to me over the years, but I never allowed myself to believe them. Say what you will about my business, but at least when a client whispers sweet nothings in my ear I know it's business and not personal. Last night was totally personal for me, and for the first time in a long time I felt incredibly used and cheapened by someone I didn't even sleep with. This was absolute bullshit. Screw you

    There I was sitting in front of his house again, not sure if I could actually get myself to walk up to the door this time. I'd thought about this moment for years now and yet I had no clue how to approach this. What I would say to him? A part of me wasn't sure whether I was going to punch him in the face. It was completely overwhelming. Fuck it! It's now or never. After a couple of deep breaths I opened my vehicle door and exited, heading for his door. Two men that I assumed were Capitol Police approached me. “Please stop, sir,” one of them requested and I fought the urge to get into these guys faces. I'd finally gotten out of my car and I wasn't in the mood for these guys stop me or give me hard time.
    “I'm his brother,” I offered bitterly, getting those words out for the first time in years. “He's expecting me.” When they didn't protest any further I bypassed them and continued towards the front door. My heart raced as I walked up the front steps, ringing the doorbell. The door opened moments later and a man I barely recognized answered it, “Kane? Is that you?” He asked, stunned. For some reason I couldn't speak, so we just stood there staring at each other in silence. I thought for sure that I would be mad once I actually faced him, but honestly all I felt was total and utter confusion. I couldn't move, I couldn't think. This was really happening.
    “Please come in,” he offered after a few more moments of silence. I nodded, following him in without another word.

    “Hello,” I answered my work cell breathlessly.
    “Raina darling, it's Dom. How are you? I've been trying to reach you since last night,” she stated in her heavy French accent. From the day I accepted her job offer she'd never used my real name.
    “Yes, I'm fine. Sorry I missed your calls. I was out and I left my work cell at home,” I replied, never giving her more details than she needed to know. I didn't like for her to know too much about my personal life. I'd always worked hard to keep my professional and private spheres separate. I think that's the way she liked it as well.
    “All right, but are you sure you're okay? You don't sound like yourself,” she pressed, worried. Although I appreciated her concern, Dom was not my friend, she was my boss, and as long as I always showed up and did a good job, she has no business knowing anything.
    “Perfectly fine, Dom. How can I help you?”
    “Okay, d'accord, I'm just calling to confirm your attendance at the dinner this evening. James is expecting you,” she stated, knowing full well I was still going. She knew this because she'd confirmed with me via text yesterday so there was really no need for this phone call. She obviously had other intentions, which I assumed would
