Chapter 7 Sylvie was not expecting Mikel to come in as her boss, she prayed, hoped, and wished earnestly for her conjecture to be funny, to be wrong. However, heaven wasn’t really on her side it seems. “Good morning, Mr Addams. I’m your newly hired personal assistant, my name is-“ “I don’t give a damned fuck about who you are, I care about answers to my questions. What are you doing here in my office?!” He paraphrased, his gaze boiling with pure rage. Sylvie found his reaction a little over the top, why was he so worked up about her in here or does he remember who she was to him? “I tried answering sir, but your words were you gave zero fuck, Sir. Again, I’m Sylvie by name, and your newly hired personal assistant. I’m here to keep your plans in check, set and maintain your schedules or appointments, manage your filing systems, and be at your best service,” Sylvie said in a courteous voice and mannerism, keeping her gaze off of Mikel. The last she want to see was his g
Chapter 8They day went on pretty dry and dull. After Mikel mandated his first rule, Sylvie shrunk back to her space with no choice than to oblige. She expected him to indeed reach out whenever he needs her assistance. However, Mikel has kept to his solitude ever since he walked in. It was finally lunch break, and he announced that by demanding Sylvie to excuse him. Sylvie sighed, took just her cellphone and went out of the office, she exhaled a longer and deeper breath after she gently jammed his door closed. “Newbie, you’re indeed here to stay, I wasn’t expecting that.” A voice muttered close to Sylvie, she looked to the direction to see the male secretary coming out of his working booth. He was obviously trying to initiate an interaction, compare to the negative aura Sylvie sensed around him early this morning, he seemed different this noon. Sylvie smiled, “What’s up with your boss? I think he hates me, without even knowing me.” She walked in his direction, speaking about Mik
Chapter 9 Sylvie tried her best to not let Greg’s words deter her liveliness, but there’s this shaky feeling attached to his words that stuck onto her ever since he said it and left. Is someone gonna be after her life now that she’s returned? Or worse, come for her babies? Or was he just pulling that stunt because she didn’t allow a conversation to hold between them? A lot of things ran through her mind, and it was obvious throughout her lunch break with Troye. He had tried to know what went wrong with her mood, but Sylvie never spilled and would just divert his attention. Their break was soon over and she returned back to her office still full of glum. She had just sat down by her desk when the landline provided on her table began ringing, the sudden shrill sound almost jerking her out of her seat. She glanced over at Mikel, to see whether he got bothered, but his head remain buried on whatever he’s clicking away on that computer.He never left the office, he just keeps ghosting
Chapter 10“You have to calm down ma’am, it’s not that serious, we have it under control even. Just that we caught this guy trying to take one of the triplets away, he’s claiming the child to be his, that he’s their father, we thought to bring it to your attention before further steps are taken,” The man explained. Sylvie recognized the voice to be that of her kids’ principal. He was calling from their school. “Huh?” Sylvie furrowed her brows, “Oh,” she sighed, her mind coming to ease. “This guy you talked about, do you know his name or anything about him? Is he still with you?” She quizzed. “He is still with us, and he’s not telling us who he is other than being the kid’s father-““Whoever that is not the father of my kids!” Sylvie chirped into the man’s sentence. “Please keep him with you, I’ll be right there.” Sylvie told him, dropping the call. She looked at Mikel who has his stoic gaze on her the whole time. He nodded at her, “You can go,” he said, and immediately walked out
CHAPTER ONE Sylvie read out to herself the text she was about sending to her boyfriend before hitting the send button and placing down her phone. She already called him three times, but he wasn’t picking so she decided to send him a text instead. Her salary has been received, and like she had promised him, she’s going to balance his school fees. Sylvie has been the one catering for her boyfriend; Dorian, since he got admitted into college. From his fees, to his expenses, to clothing, to everything else of his that needs catering. She sighed turning around to work on the cooking gas, by lowering the level of heat. She took a big stirring spoon, opening the boiling pot of soup while taking few ingredients out of the cabinet above her merged to the kitchen wall. Opening the seasonings and g
CHAPTER TWO With a lingering agitation over the atmosphere, everyone staring at him in suspense. “What do you want?” Mikel grilled out in an icy tone, merely fazed by the sight of the gun pointed at him. All running through his mind was the calculation of bridging their distance, smacking that gun off his hand, and smashing him to his death. However, the tool repeatedly played it part, keeping him restricted as he glared at the muzzle paralleling his gaze. “It’s simple actually, just a transaction of some millions.” He stated, his tone humorous, flicking the gun in their faces to keep them attentive. Sylvie from where she stood has her head bowed, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her mind the least conscious of her surroundings or the situation, the only thing chanting in her head was the obvious fact that her boyfriend of how many years is a cheater.
CHAPTER THREE Sylvie stirred awake, her consciousness unfurling in a sudden instant. She groaned in a muffled tone as she sat up, a painful sensation instantly gripping her head. Warm breeze hit her skin, bringing her to the notice of her nakedness as she glanced around for further inspection, beside her was her boss. Mikel Addams, asleep peacefully and also naked. “Oh shit!” She gasped, pulling a palm down to cover her mouth as she tried piecing the scene together. Sylvie sat up, resting her back against the headboard as she tried to remember how she ended up in bed naked with her boss. Her brain tugged with heaviness, her thoughts conjuring yesterday’s events blurry and hazy. The only part clear was the part she caught her boyfriend cheating on her. One question lingered over her mind, ‘Did I fuck my boss?’ The answer was obvious and could be considered rhetorical. A deep loud groan caught her attention, glancing to her side she witnessed as Mikel yawned in
CHAPTER FOUR Note: Major Time Jump Ahead. Sylvie and her Aunt arrived back home, both settling down to discuss the situation inside the living room. “What are your plans for this pregnancy?” She grilled in a serious tone, looking her in the eyes to read any withheld information. “I have no other option, abortion is my only choice.” She cried out, gazing up at her Aunt with her muddled face drenched in tears. “No!” She sifted over to her side, taking a hold of her palms and squeezing it together with hers. “That is not your only option, you can chose to birth them and take care of them. You can’t just kill three innocent babies.” She reasoned with her, serving as the emotional human guide she needed. Sylvie took her words in, she really can’t murder three innocent babies because of her mistakes. That’s just cruel. “B- But can I survive this?” She asked, actually scared with her tone shaky and body trembling. “You will, and I will be by your side all through ever
