“Mommy, you promised to take us to the park today,” Jordan whined.

“Yes Mommy! I want ice cream,” Jamie added with a pout, and I knew there was no way I'd win against these kids.

“Fine!” I laughed softly. “But promise Mommy you'll stay put and be the good kids I raised.”

“We promise!” They said in unison, and I ruffled their hair with a smile.

“Great! Let's go!”

We walked down to the park since it wasn't far from the apartment.

“Mommy, can I play with that?”

Jordan ran off to the swing before I could answer.

“Be careful!” I called out after him and Jamie took off right behind.

I sat down on a bench, watching them laugh and play, and I couldn't help feel at ease.

Just then, my phone buzzed. Andrew.

My stomach dropped at the name. It's the weekend. Why is he calling me now?

“Hello?”

“Miss Anderson,” Andrew's voice was brisk. “I know it's the weekend, and you're not supposed to be at work, but something came up. You need to go to the company ASAP.”

“But…”

    AUTHOR'S POV It's the weekend, and Rowan decided to pick Faye up from work since they have not seen each other in a while, and when they do, they end up arguing.“Hey babe, did I keep you waiting?” Faye asked as she slid into the passenger seat.Rowan shook his head, his eyes crinkling at the corner as he replied. “Not at all, I just got here too.”“Oh, great,” she fastened her seat belt as he relaxed a little. “I had a really crazy day. Who would have thought that bitch leaving would only make things harder?” A frown formed on her face as she spoke.“Who are we hating this time?” Rowan chuckled as he listened to her rant.“Who else? It's Belle. Since that bitch left, Mr. Marlowe has become even more cold and sensitive. He fired his fourth secretary today. Can you imagine? It feels like we're all walking on egg shells at the office. Just a breath in his way and you'd be the next to receive his wrath,” she hissed.“Interesting. Do you think he has fallen for Belle? I mean, that would

    ZALDEN “You disgust me!” She shoved me off. Her face flushed red, and I couldn't tell if it was out of anger or embarrassment.What the hell am I doing?“You want me,” the words just kept slipping out of my mouth as if I was being controlled by a fucking remote. “There is no point denying it, Belle.”The chemistry between us is undeniable. And I hate to admit that I want her too.She scoffed at my words, and for once, I wanted to know exactly what was going through her head.I was used to people living up to my expectations. Doing everything I asked. Trying to please me even in uncomfortable situations, I don't know what to do when someone acts up.If she wanted money, why was she playing hard to get? She's not expecting me to chase her, does she? That sounds even more ridiculous.“I am sexually frustrated. So what?” She shook her head, like she couldn't even believe she was saying that out loud.“Are you going to use that to mock me? To claim me? Like I was some fucking dog who ha

    BELLE “You weren't just hired, Belle.” His hot breath fanned my neck, waking every nerve in my bones, as goosebumps rose on my skin. “You're mine.”That is it?I snorted at his words, and whatever I was feeling was instantly replaced with anger.“I'm yours?” I took a step back, leaving a space between us. “Since when?” A humourless laugh escaped my lips as I stared at him in disbelief.“Because the last time I checked, I was just a loose woman who sleeps around and pretends she earned it, isn't it?”A surge of rage coursed through my veins as I recollected the look on his face when he said those words. And now, he thinks he could claim me?Is this all a joke to him?Of course, it is. I was just another puzzle he needed to solve. He couldn't accept me quitting on my own. As if humiliating me wasn't enough, he just had to come here to finish what he started.“Look, you weren't supposed to hear that,” he rubbed his hands on his face and sniffed his breath. “That was fucked. I know I s

    ZALDEN “You're fired.”This is the third time I'd be repeating those words in the space of a month. Turns out Belle wasn't as bad as I thought. “S-sir… please,” She fiddled with the hem of her dress, with a pleading eye.“I'll call the security if you make me repeat myself,” I warned.She ran out of my office in tears, and I released a breath. I didn't even bother learning their names anymore. They're not worth it.Why apply for a job if you can't get it done?Just then, the door cracked open and just before I'd snap at her, Andrew walked in.“Not good enough?” He sighed.“Where do you keep digging those dummies?” I hissed.“You don't even give them a chance. How else are they supposed to prove themselves?”“By working.” I snorted. “They're either too slow or too dumb… how do they pass the interview?”“I interview all of them like I did to everyone else in the company, and trust me, they're good…” Andrew trailed off before giving me a look.“Do you want me to call her back? If we of

    AUTHOR'S POV “She's quitting,” Andrew said through gritted teeth as he barged into Zalden's office.Zalden stared at him, dumbfounded for a while before finally speaking. “What are you talking about?”“Belle. She's quitting,” he snorted. “Is that what you wanted? For her to quit on her own? I didn't take you for such a person.”“She's quitting,” the words replayed in his head, and his fingers froze midway to the keypad.Zalden's stomach churned at the news. “Of course, she'd quit,” he thought to himself. For once, he hated himself for not handling the situation well… for allowing his emotions to get the best of him. He knew all along that he was being irrational, but he just couldn't control his emotions around her, and now she had quit.“Will she be okay, though?” He recalled the doctor's words, and he knew for sure that she was struggling financially. “Maybe I was too harsh.” “Are you going to say something?” Andrew furrowed his brows. His gaze was so sharp that Zalden actually f

    BELLE “My goodness, Belle!” Kara rushed to my side, examining my body for any visible injury, except there wasn't. The only wound I have is the one in my chest. And it is not healing soon.“What the hell happened?” She seemed to relax a bit as she sank her weight on the bed, making me adjust.“It's nothing, really,” I tried to force out a smile, but she wasn't buying it.“Have you been crying? Your eyes are puffy and girl! You look like a mess,” She crossed her arms as she glared at me. “Spill.”“What about the kids? Where are they?” I tried to change the topic, but she seemed determined to know exactly what happened.“The kids are with my mom. I told her they'd be spending the week there, so they're fine,” she dismissed.“No, we can't leave them there. They'll only be a bother.”“My mom loves your kids. And you can't exactly take care of others right now, so how about we talk about how you ended here?” She furrowed her brows, waiting for an explanation.Her stare was so intense that
