“Do you have the money?”The wind howled ceaselessly that night as the three figures huddled in the dark behind an alley. It was dark and they were unable to make out anyone’s faces but it was clear who they were speaking to.The owner of the luxurious car pulled up into the dirty neighborhood and alighted from the car. The sound of a lighter was heard and soon smoke filled the already polluted air of the night sky. The wind didn’t cease and they knew they had to conclude soon.“Well?” one of them prompted.The figure from the car nodded, a sinister smile visible on the lips.“I have all the cash now, where are the goods?”The three figures revealed a rather large briefcase that wasn't seen before, each one revealing a toothy grin.“Great job,” the figure from the car praised as they dropped the briefcase into the car.The figure pulled a second suitcase out of the car and handed it to them.“It will be appreciated if everything goes smoothly tonight. You understand that no one cross
THREE MONTHS AGOHailey woke up with a start as she heard the sound of her alarm. She was so excited she couldn't control herself.Getting out of the bed she hurried into the bathroom and took a shower then dressed up in one of her favorite dresses.She had purchased the cloth from a local merchant last week in preparation for today. She pulled her curtains revealing the sun rays and allowed it to soak up her skin.She was dressed in a silky red gown that hugged her curves exposing her cleavage a little. She hurried out of her room, her excitement threatening to double her over as she bumped into her best friend and roommate.“Hailey!” her friend exclaimed, startled.“Oh, Ciara. I didn't know that you were in the way,” she apologized.“It’s okay. I guess you're in a hurry,” Ciara nodded, smoothing her skirts.“Yeah. I'm hurrying to get to work on time,” she replied.Ciara frowned. “Work? What’s going on? Since when are you so excited to go to work?”Hailey chuckled. “Since I'm getting
Hailey strolled through the busy streets of New York City as the traffic and pedestrians yelled at each other.She was lost in thoughts as she wondered how her day of promotion turned to the day she got fired. This wasn't what she was expecting at all.Her phone beeped and she glanced at it wondering if it was her best friend, maybe wanting to check up on her and know the progress of her promotion.Tears misted her eyes as she unlocked her phone but the tears disappeared immediately she saw the number displayed on her screen.It wasn't her best friend, it was the lying snitch who had thrown her under the bus and wrecked her life and her career!He wanted to meet, right? A sly smile blossomed on her lips and she cackled maniacally earning weird glances from people around.She couldn't care less. She was about to show him that he shouldn't take her for granted and by the time she was done with him then he would regret his actions.She headed towards the restaurant he had typed in as the
Hailey heaved a sigh as she pressed the doorbell by the huge black gate with sharp spikes. She had no idea who owned the house except that her friend had somehow managed to get her an interview as a nanny.It wasn't her ideal job but she could start with something small before she can work her way back into her newspaper office or another office.“Who is it?” a robotic voice asked over the monitor underneath the doorbell.Hailey peered at the monitor and smiled. “Hailey Parker. I'm here for the nanny interview.”The gate swung open immediately and Hailey gasped as she took in the interior of the house.The house had an ice sculpture of a swan in the waterfall. The walls were all tiled and the floor of the house was smoothed with bricks.The mansion stood tall and proud as she looked around for the person who had opened the gate but she found none.She glanced at the car park and sucked in a deep breath at the number of expensive cars which were parked there.She risked a glance at the
Chase Denver ran a hand through his dark spiky hair tousling it for the fifth time today. He was restless and he knew the reason for his anger. He wasn't prepared for the responsibility his grandfather handed over to him.He knew he promised them he would do anything to save the family business but then…His thoughts were interrupted by a shrieking female. She strutted into his office, her green eyes blazing with fire, her lips pouted in a frown.Her red hair fluttered around her waist and she glared at him ready to breathe fire and brimstone.“Before you say anything, I was just about to call you,” he lied smoothly.“Bullshit!” she snapped, “I called you four hours ago!!”He nodded. “I've been in a meeting since then.”She rolled her eyes. “Save your lies to someone who doesn't know you.”He raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, you got me. I didn't feel like returning your calls, happy now?”She smirked. “I will be after I tell my grandfather that you want our union to fall apart.”
Chase Denver glared at the woman smiling sheepishly before him. He patted the back of his head where she had bumped him on and groaned.He hadn't just gotten a nanny but a stalker too! “I want her out of this house!”Leo stared at him like he was crazy.“But sir, she's the best nanny we’ve gotten so far who doesn't know you,” he cried.Chase hurried up the stairs and headed to his room. He didn't want to have this conversation before her, especially when his head was banging.“My room, Leo!” he snapped.Leo followed him closely and kept muttering how he had a good feeling about the girl who just whacked him over his head with a frying pan in his own house!Finally, they got to his room and he slammed the door before turning to vent his anger on Leo.“How dare you say nice things about her when she's a psycho sent to murder me?!”Leo gave him a weird look. “I know you're upset but you've got to calm down.”Chase glared at him. “You want me to calm down?! I had to hide in the office so
Hailey's expression held her shock, just as Chase stared at her in surprise. She didn't mean it. It was just a reflex action. An automatic response to a kiss she wasn't expecting, wasn't even prepared for, and worst of all, from her boss who believed all the women he'd hired, had come to have sex with him.She was different. Heck, she didn't even know him until today. He was attractive, no doubt. But he was rude, and quite off. Her shock expression had turned to fear, and then remorse when she met Chase's blazing gaze."I...I didn't mean it," she squeaked, stepping back in shock.Gosh Hailey, what have you done?!Why did she slap him? There were many ways to react to an unwanted kiss aside from slapping.Maybe she could have kicked him where the sun never shines.Worst, Hailey.Oh God! She was doomed.Fired Hailey, you're fired! She thought dejectedly."How dare you?" His voice was low, but the anger amplified it. His eyes shot hate lasers, and Hailey was beginning to melt."I'm sorry
By the time Hailey left the manor, it was quite late. She got home tired, and drained by the day's events, and not once did she not repeat the happenings in her head. She could not stop thinking about what Chase said and did.She boarded a taxi down to her apartment, and was still in thoughts till the car had come to a halt before her little apartment. Once she was inside the safety of her house, she undressed, took a quick shower and then microwaved some macaroni and cheese. She ate with a glass of milk, while she tried to catch up with the news.That was the only little distraction she had before her mind returned to thinking of Chase, his sassy daughter, Dawn and then the nice butler, Leo. Given, that house was a little drama of three different personalities in a blend. She had created quite the impression.Speaking of impressions, she had created a really bad impression on her first day. Considering Dawn was being a bit difficult, and her father, Chase had to be an asshole. And, sh
