All Your Lies... Chapter One
CHAPTER ONE~ALEX'S POV~I felt small and intimidated as Big Harry sized me up. The tiny office that contained a large mahogany desk with chapped edges, and two plastic chairs, was stuffy and had a stale, musky smell. Big Harry's eyes finally decided to stop its wandering and fixated on my small bo0bs."Are you going to help me or not?" I snapped, finally overcoming my irritation. His response was a smirk, and a raised eyebrow. He raised up his eyes to look into mine, I held his gaze, trying to show him I wasn't intimidated by his bulk."It's going to be hard." He finally replied. His big shoulders rolled underneath his monster T-shirt as he picked out a stick of cigarette from its pack."How hard?"He didn't reply immediately, he took his time lighting up his cigarette, by the time he was done, I was already tapping my feet impatiently on the bleached, tiled floor."Listen Susan...""Alex." I cut him off. One of his brows shot up. In surprise? That I cannot tell."Alex? Isn't that a

Chapter two~ALEX~I had left Big Harry's office, I didn't know how, but I found myself walking in the street, my hands tucked in the pocket of my faded sweatpants, the wicked sun gently roasting my face. I was lost in thought, the last thing i heard Big Harry say to me was; 'Think about it'Well I was thinking about it. It sounded tempting, but risky. If I should get caught and arrested, what will become my mother's fate?My stomach muscles contracts painfully, and I almost double over in pain. I felt dizzy and leaned on a car that's illegally packed by the roadside. The pain was losing it's intensity gradually, but I still feel faint. I sighed in relief when the pain subsided entirely. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I dug around my pocket until my hands closed around it. The caller ID said 'Emily'"Hello?" My voice is husky.Emily's voice at the other end is tear strained. "Alex, I'm at the hospital. It's Mom."I feel panic begin to rise, like bile, to my throat."Which ho

Chapter Three.SIX WEEKS EARLIERTHE BEVERLY'S MANSION~LOGAN'S POV~I stared at the reports in front of me, frowning hard. I heard footsteps approaching and hurriedly slipped the papers inside a medical file jacket. I pulled out a bunch of paper from my bag and held it two feet away from my face and pretended to study it. My step mother, Fiona, stepped into view, wearing a pink fluffy looking house coat."Working while having breakfast huh?" She commented as she sat on the chair opposite mine, her mild perfume wafting to my nostrils. I looked down at my long forgotten coffee, it was now cold and the cream in it had clumped and looked sticky."Good morning Fiona, I've got a very busy day today, it wouldn't hurt to begin extra early."At fifty two, Fiona pretty much looked the same as she was when I first saw her, aside from the grey that was now streaking her perfect dark hair. Her face was wrinkle-free, which I'm sure was as a result of some Botox injections.I stood up to take my le

CHAPTER FOUR~ALEX~I was very nervous as fuck, my palm feeling sweaty as I stood behind Big Harry as he knocked at the gate. Big Harry turned to me, and regarded me solemnly. Then he leaned closer to me and whispered"Just so you know Alex, you're on your own now."I gave him a look filled with confusion."What I mean is that, if they should discover that you're a woman, that you tricked them, I will deny you.""Oh."My nervousness increased. I was almost tempted to turn back.The big gates opened and I stepped into a magnificent compound and was immediately hit by the warmth of the sun and the scent of freshly cut grass. I was greeted by a sprawling garden that seemed to go on for miles. The greenery was expertly maintained, with hedges trimmed to perfection and flowers in full bloom. I noticed a number of fountains scattered throughout the grounds, each one looking like a work of art in its own right.But it was the pool that really caught my attention. It was an enormous infinity

CHAPTER FIVE~ALEX~The rooms I cleaned were so big and everything in it looked expensive. I worked quickly, hoping I'd finish on time, so that I will be able to go tell Emily and my mom about the news.I polished the furniture, mopped the floors of every room. And I changed the sheets on every beds in the house. Then I proceeded to stuff the heavy sheets in the washing machine. Then transfer to the dryer. And then iron it.By the time I went for my lunch break, I was feeling nauseous and dizzy.When I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, I bumped into someone. The force of the collision sent me sprawling to the floor."Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking." The person apologized. I nodded numbly, as I struggled to get up. The man extended his hand and I took it and he dragged me up."You must be the new housekeeper." His voice is deep and sonorous. I gave him a quick glance. He was tall, towering over me, and he's very good looking.I started doing that thing I do around good-l
All Your Lies... Chapter Six
_____CHAPTER SIX______The next day at work, there was no sign of Emma. Mrs Veronica didn't mention her either, and so I felt that she had already taken care of the issue like she promised.___THREE DAYS LATER____I had worked in the Beverly's Mansion for four days now, and I had not yet met Mr Logan Beverly. I had just seen a charcoal drawing portrait of him, and I had stared at it for a full minute, memorizing how he looked like. I didn't relate well with the other staff, there was no much staff by the way. Just the cook, the Gardener, the housekeeper (Me of course), the security guards(, there were three of them) and Mrs Veronica, whom I found out was the house manager. Her job was just to oversee the overall operation of the household, and to snge the staff.My fingers were raw from scrubbing the titles in the bathrooms and my back stiff. I carried am armful of clothes to the laundry room.The laundry room was big and airy. I yawned tiredly as I stuffed the washing machine with
All Your Lies... Chapter Seven
_____CHAPTER SEVEN______ALEX'S POV_I was exhausted after today's chore. I went to the kitchen to get water. Jim, the burly looking cook, was whistling softly, the air was heavy with a delicious smell."You look tired Alex."He commented once I had come into the kitchen. I gave a tired smile."I am tired."It had been agreed on that Emma and I would both be housekeepers, and we'll share the workload easily. It felt so relieving that my workload had reduced and I still had the same salary of two grands per month. Maybe this was Logan's way of showing appreciation to me, because I felt he would have fired me today because I was caught sleeping on duty.I looked up from the sink, drying my hands with a towel. I glanced over at Jim, who catches my eye and smiled. I decided to engage him in a little bit of conversation."So, Jim, any exciting dishes planned for today?"He chuckled."Oh, you know me, Alex. I'm always conjuring up something delectable. Today, I'm thinking of a roasted rack

I adjusts my tie, preparing to face another day at work,My secretary, a slender blond, in short leather pencil skirt, a polka dot shirt, strutted towards me confidently, balancing on her stilettos heel. "Good morning boss, the investors are here. They were about to begin the board meeting without you.""Tell them to wait." I said in brief voice."But sir--""Shirley, if you don't love your job, attempt to argue with me."She immediately kept quiet and collected my suitcase from me."Ah, I was afraid I won't catch up with you." I heard an all-too-familiar voice calling out to me. I turned around to confirm my suspicion. It was Chad, my younger step brother.He was dressed in an expensive looking suit that fit his figure impeccably."Tell the investors I'll join them in five minutes." I told Shirley in a dismissive voice. She nodded and walked away."What are yo
