ALYSSA’S POV
I yawned loudly and paused when I didn’t hear a single noise, everywhere was dead silent. I didn’t hear Mum yelling at dad. So, I got up from the bed and rushed to the living where I met Mum crying, what happened again? “Mum, What’s wrong?” I walked closer to her on the couch. “I’m fine Aly.” she whispered, cleaning her face. “No mum, you aren’t fine, please tell me what’s wrong?” I placed her hand on mine, and she burst into another round of tears. “Your father Aly,your father left us.” i froze for a while processing what Mum just said, dad would never leave us, I was heartbroken why did he leave us?, why? “I know this is all my fault, if I wasn’t nagging at him every time this wouldn’t have happened,but I could bear to keep quiet anymore the pain was becoming unbearable. I’m sorry Aly this is my fault, I caused this.” I pulled her into a hugged patting her back lightly, I was trying not to tear up in her presence. “It’s okay Mum stop crying, you didn’t do anything so stop blaming yourself. He left because he was too scared to face his responsibilities.” I said, trying to console her and I guessed it worked because she nodded and stopped crying. “You are right Aly,he left because he’s a coward and am not going to cry because of him, he can go to hell for all I care.” I smiled at her feistiness and pulled her in a hug again. “That was cool Mum, now go freshen up, I’ll be going to the market to get some foodstuffs and prepare something delicious for you huh.” she chuckled and wiped her already red eyes. “Yes ma’am.” she got up from the couch and went to her room. I sighed before going to mine, I took a quick bath and picked a white shirt and blue jeans before going to the market. “Morning Aly.” Mr jolly yelled, waving at me. “Good morning Mr. jolly, how was your night?” “It was fine, and I dreamt about you and my son.” here we go again, Mr jolly is still shipping for his son and me,which is totally an off limit. Tristan and I are like 0%. “And what was the dream about.” I asked to go with the flow. “I saw my son getting married to you, it was a very grand wedding Aly.” he said with a big smile. “That’s one big dream Mr. jolly, but I’ve got to go.” “Okay, take care.” “You too, Mr. jolly.” I waved at him and continued my walk to the market. I was busy getting some rice when someone stopped me. “Hey Aly long time.” the person said, and I turned to see him, Timothy. “Hey Tim.” I replied plainly. “I hardly see you around Aly,you are now a VVIP.” he teased and I chuckled. “Stop joking around Tim, I’m always around so what are you doing here?” “What do you do in the market, Aly?” he raised his brows in a teasing manner. “You either buy or sell, so which category are you in.” “Buying, of course.” and I was surprised. “You cook.” “Of course.” he replied and I gasped dramatically. “I didn’t know the almighty Tim can cook.” he rolled his eyes and I laughed. “I do and my food tastes great.” “That’s good, but I need to go now, mum’s waiting for me.” I checked the time. “Oh, okay, but can I at least get your number.” I shrugged. “Sure.” we exchanged contacts and hugged before going our separate places. I got everything I needed before going home. “I’m back, Mum.” I announced as I walked into the house. “What took you so long, Aly?” Mum asked. “I met Tim at the market.” I facepalmed myself inwardly when I saw the frown on her face, gosh she did tell me to stay away from that boy. “The same Timothy I asked you to stay away from or another Timothy.” Mum inquired, and I picked on my fingers, which means I was nervous, I hate to get mum angry. “I asked a question Aly.” she yelled, making me jump. “The same Timothy, Mum.” I whispered with my head down. “Aly I thought I made myself clear when I told you to stay away from him, you agreed to stay clear from him, then why are you still seeing him behind my back.” “Am sorry mum, i... we just talked and nothing more, besides it has been a long time since we saw each other.” I entered the kitchen and brought everything I bought out and began to chop them. “Aly stay away from Tim.” Mum said from the doorway. “Yes Mum.” I sighed, I don’t know the reason Mum is insisting on me to not see or talk to Timothy, I mean Timothy is a great guy and also funny. I finished preparing the food on time then I served mum before eating mine, washed the used dishes and made for my room. I’m tired of sitting at home, the truth is most of the companies I applied for the owners were males;who obviously want to have sex with me before giving me a job. I remembered one of them was an old man(who was old enough to be my grandpa want) who tried to kiss me, it took all my will power from slapping the hell out of him, another one spanked my ass and I can keep going on and on. I got dressed for my hunting but went online first to see if there is any available post in any company before going out, I search for a while but didn’t get any positive results, so I decided to drop my phone, but before shutting the phone off I came across one * WINTHROP CORP’S *. I was happy at least I’ve seen something interesting, I tapped on the company name and everything showed the CEO, Xavier Winthrop, was searching for a competent secretary, I quickly applied online, giving my name, CV, and everything before leaving the site. I opened my G****e app and searched for his name and his image popped up * my fucking God this is an angel!!!!! *XAVIER’S POV I was going through some important documents when the office line rang. “Sir, Mr Benjamin is here to see you.” Why on earth would Ben come to my company?, he better have a good reason to be here. “Let him in.” I told her and hanged up and two minutes later, Ben entered my office with his usual grin on his face. “Hey Xavier.” he called and sat in the chair opposite me. “What are you doing here Ben?” I asked, and he chuckled. “Chill, I just came to see my buddy.” I rolled my eyes inwardly, buddy indeed. “See Ben, if you are not here for a business purpose, please use the door.” I said, pointing at the door for him to get the clear message. “Really Xavier, I took out of my precious damn time in coming here, and you couldn’t offer me a drink. All you know is about business.” he said with a frown. “Okay am sorry.” I picked the phone and told the receptionist to bring some champagne and a glass,since I didn’t have a secretary. “Now you’re talking, wait a min
ALYSSA’S POV A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts, Mr. Xavier said a come in and a familiar figure walked in with a smile on his face. What’s he doing here?? “Good morning sir.” he greeted, but Mr. Xavier's face remained the same. “Tristan, you’ve been assigned to show miss Brown her office and put her through with some paper works.” WTF! Tristan, Tristan works here, I stared at him like a bloated goat. “Tristan.” I called with my mouth still wide open. “Hey Aly.” he answered lowly. “Am done, you can both leave.” he ordered. “Okay sir, miss Brown this way please.” we walked out of the office and he (Tristan) announces to the other candidates that I was already hired and there is no more interview, some grumbled and cursed before leaving, the ladies gave me a really hard glare. “So you work here.” I asked, trying to start a conversation, cause since we left the boss’s office he hasn’t spoken a word to me. “Y… yeah.” he replied shy, placing his hand on his
XAVIER POV The driver rode into my mansion and as he parked, I opened the door and stepped out, I instructed the guards to bring my things inside and as soon as I entered the house my little angel jumped on my body. “Welcome daddy!” she said enthusiastically, and I pecked her head. “Someone is happy today, how are you love?”I asked, and she nodded her head. “I’m fine, daddy, what about you?” “Daddy is fine.” I replied, but she frowned. “Really.” “Yes.” “Daddy are you lying to me, so I won’t be worried, aren’t you tired from all those looooong boring meetings.” she said in a mature way, making me laugh. “Nope, daddy isn’t tired, I’ve gotten a secretary to do some of my works, so I’m all good.” she gasped. “You got a secretary, what about my nanny.” she said with a pout. “Don’t worry daddy is going to get you a new nanny very soon.” I said, and I knew what was coming next. “But remember daddy, I want a very beautiful nanny with long curly
ALYSSA’S POV I left the lobby and entered the elevator to my office floor, I dropped my bag in my office first before going to handsome punk's office to clean. The office was neat when I got there, so I didn’t do much, I went back to my office and sat down waiting for the arrival of Mr. Xavier. Like an hour or so everywhere was so boring with nothing to do, I only heard chattering from the staff and almost immediately the noise died down, the hallway was silent like an angel was passing by. The landline rang out, and I was startled, I cleared my throat before answering. “Good morning, this is W.....” “In my office now.” I dropped the line as he hung up, and I breathe out slowly, you can do this, Aly. I walked to his office and knocked and as usual, he ushered me in. “Good morning sir.” I greeted, and he stared or should I say glared at me before speaking. “When did you get to the office Miss Brown?” he asked, and I was silent m, why is he asking that now. “I
XAVIER’S POV As Alyssa stepped out of my office, I took my tablet from the table and viewed the CCTV camera in her office, the hallway, and the lobby. I watched as she took out the last dollar bill in her purse with a frown and walked out to the elevator. She bumped into someone, no not someone but Miranda, I frowned thinking about why she was here. I watched how she yelled at Alyssa, who did nothing but kept quiet. She (Aly) went to the lobby but stopped at the receptionist stand, when did she became acquainted with Tania? I watched as she chatted a little before going out, she really has some nerve to chitchat in my company. I will make sure to punish her when she comes back. The door suddenly opened, distracting me from the tablet, I raised my head up and watched in horror as the human Barbie walked in. “What the hell!” I yelled, glaring at her, but she remained unfazed. “Hi Xavier.” she took a seat comfortably chewing on her gum loudly like the white she is.
ALYSSA’S POV TWO WEEKS LATER Two weeks with Mr. Xavier is like hell to me. I don’t know what’s wrong with him a minute he’s calm, the next he’s like a roaring lion. He’s like a pregnant woman with deadly mood swings or can I say a pregnant ‘man’. He’s getting more handsome and sexy each day and I love it, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I think I like Mr. Xavier, and I’m confused. I don’t know if I really like him or love him. Right now, we are on our way to a very important meeting in the next town, Mr. Xavier, and I were sitting in the back seat with the driver in the driver’s seat. The ride was a long and tiring one with nothing to do but stare at my iPad, but finally, we got to the company and went in. “Good morning, Mr. Winthrop, this way Please.” A charming young man said while staring at me with a seductive smile. Please don’t tell me he’s trying to flirt with me right now, I turned to see Mr. Xavier giving deathly glares at him. “Please lead the w
XAVIER’S POV. I still don’t understand why that scene from earlier keeps playing in my head. I couldn’t forget how that bastard touched her ass, how he was smirking like he just made it big, I so wanted to wipe that smirk off. I got down from the car and brought my phone out and put a call across to my investigator Sam. “Hey Sam.” I called as he answered. “Good evening, boss, what can I do for you?” He asked. “I want you to investigate Fidelio Sanchez, all his shady and legal business. I want to see all on my table before the end of tomorrow.” I said. “Got it, boss.” I smiled and hung up. Just wait Fidelio you won’t know what hit you. The image of Fidelio touching Alyssa’s laps and spanking her butt came to my mind again, and I groaned, what is wrong with me? Why am I still thinking about that incident?, I sighed, shook my head and stepped into the house. “Argh.” As I walked past the door, the first thing that welcomed me was a crying baby. I looked around the
ALYSSA’S POV. “I’m not throwing it out sir, it's just kind of stressful and I can’t do it. I’m sorry, sir.” I stood up to leave, but the next words he said made me halt. “Miss Brown, the pay is double your pay here, and it’s not that stressful. You only need to dress the child up for school, feed the child take the child to school, pick the child up, and feed the child lunch and dinner before a bedtime story then once she falls asleep you’re free to go home and come back the next day before coming to the office.” He said desperately like he was the person in need of help. The pay is good and when he mentioned the ‘child’ in all sentences, I thought the ‘child’ doesn’t have a gender. Finally, I knew it was a girl, I stared at him before replying. “You said the pay is twice my pay here,” I asked again for a better confirmation. “Affirmative.” I did a little thinking, the job is not that bad. It’s just taking care of a child, so it’s not that scary, and I need the money to help my
