A Forbidden Affair with the Toxic Billionaire

“Good morning” I greet Mr. Hemsworth, the owner of the coffeehouse I worked in.“Good morning” he said as he looked up from the papers he was working on, “How was your weekend?” He asks.“It was just what I needed to relax” I smile“Good because we need to make as many sales as we can, else we won't be able to keep this place open”“I'll do my best” I say and walk away to get started for the day.The bell dings as the first customer walks in, he is light skinned and of average height.“Can I get two cups of iced cappuccino, pretty lady?” He smiles.“Good morning, welcome to Jundas coffeehouse, two cups of iced cappuccinos coming right up” I smile dryly at his weak attempt to flirt“Thank you” he says as I hand it over to him“That'll be 10 bucks please”He hands me the money as he leaves the storeCustomers after customers and it was finally time for a break.I decide to take a walk to let the warm air hit my lungs and calm my body that has been taken over by stress, soon after my bre

“Kendra we need to get up else we'll get fired” I say when I realize that it was already morning and Kendra and I had overslept“Alright, I'll be up in a jiffy, give me a little time to reboot my system” she yawns“Okay” I say as I stand up to brush my teeth and decide on making breakfastKendra finally gets up when I'm done brushing, and I decide to head to the kitchen to make breakfast.I decide on making waffles with hot chocolate for breakfast, and I get it done.“Well I'm exhausted, I wish I could just get some fucking ass money to employ cooks and get a bigger apartment” Kendra says as she walks into the kitchen“Well wishes aren't horses baby girl, they just don't come through, we've got this” I reply while I give her a plate of food.“We've got this” she smiles as she takes her plate of food from me and digs into it.“I just love waffles” Kendra says satisfyingly.“I better get dressed for work” I say, heading to my room and getting dressedI look at myself in the mirror and I

I wake up on an overly comfortable bed and realize that it was not my bed, and it was not my home. My eyes shoot open in fear that he has found me, and I look around to see Joel and Kendra sleeping on one of the chairs and Stewart on the other side.Then the memories of last night comes running back to my head and I realize “they know my secret” they know about my panic attacks and maybe Joel finally knows about my family. I close my eyes hoping I could reset the night and change the question that landed me in this hospital bed, but of course, my brain decides to do the opposite. To remind me of the exact reactions of everybody, and I sit up.I decide to take a picture of my new family, as seeing them wanting to be there for me just fills my heart with warmth and love.The doctor walks in and the sound of the door disrupts everyone's sleep and I could see the excitement in Kendra's eyes that said, "you didn't give up on me” and I smile back at her.The doctor walks over to me saying “

Anastasia's POV“He just has the aura that makes me want to get inside his pants” Kendra tells meI've had to listen to Kendra droll over Joel like he is some fucking god made from god material, and she's his goddess.“The aura that makes you want to get inside his pants…. Now that's some crazy ass shit! I tell you girl, you've gone from love to obsessed” I tease.“Maybe you're just jealous”“Jealous? It can't be me you're talking to”“You sure, I mean, you seem pretty jealous. So tell me when was the last time you got laid?”“Ummmmm” I stammer trying to figure out the last time I got laid“Exactly, it's been ages, girl you should consider yourself virgin” Kendra laughs“I'm not going to have this conversation with you… most definitely not” I say, deciding to leave Kendra's room.“Want to go shopping instead? I'm hungry” Kendra yells.“Girl I see you have a lot of money. Seems like Joel is a giver” I yell back.“Well sort of, come on pleaseeeee” she begs“Alright fine” I say, walking

I walk into the Jundas Coffeehouse and head to my locker room to drop my bag and get ready. “Hello Mr. Hemsworth” I greet as I pass by his office.“Thanks for coming in today” he says loud enough for me to hear from the locker room.“It's no problem sir” I say and walk over to the counter. Customers come in and out stating their order and I give it to them with smiles.Hours pass by, and I see the guy from yesterday walk into the restaurant, I try to hide myself as shyness takes over every part of my body. “I wish I was drunk last night, then maybe I would have blamed the alcohol for making me bold” I say to myself.He walks over to the same table he sat yesterday and signals for me to come. I immediately regret not hiding and walk to meet him and I decide to act like I've never seen him in my life, maybe then it would be easier to believe.“Good afternoon and welcome to Jundas Coffeehouse, what may I help you with?” I ask, trying to be formal as possible, and he smirks at my attitude
