Lucas's POV
I got out of the office building in a rush. My eyes caught the mirror in front of the car. I was looking messy already. The sound of my phone buzzing couldn't let us finish up. God knows how long I have waited for this day but not be interrupted by something like this. I guess you don't always get what we want. I could imagine the look in her eyes. The disappointment that comes with it. She wanted more, I know, but right now Naomi needed me. I can't just let her down, it would break her so much, and I wasn't ready to do anything that could jeopardize the relationship, not when we just started. It took me time to finally get myself to accept this new relationship. It is something I must do, to protect my image, to protect the legacy I have worked on all my life. Coming to New York was to get everything back on track, but right, as it is, I don't see myself focusing on anything else than Kayla. I wished I could fuck her the way I had imagined, install in her how to properly fear me. There had better be a rematch because it is not the end yet. I managed to shove my thoughts behind, increasing the high speedometer of the car. The more I drove at that level, the car's engine cracked in some sound and, in my ear, it felt like Kayla screaming and begging me to increase my pace. Fuck. It was hard to concentrate without a fling of her in my thoughts. As I approached the arrival gate, I properly arranged my necktie, and straightened my suit. I sighted Naomi from afar, in the arrival area. She looked so beautiful. Her blue dress fits in properly with her body, showing her curve. I still find it hard to believe how a woman in her late 30s could be this sexy. “Naomi” I called out, waving at her like a little child who had just welcomed her mother after a long time away. It was really nice seeing her again. It's been weeks since I left California for New York. I had to leave her behind so I could settle with things here perfectly before calling her to join me here. “Baby” Naomi's voice filled the air as she ran into my arms. “I have missed you so much” she blew kisses on my face. “I miss you too, baby” I gently caressed her back. We were in that position for a few moments. **************** Naomi and I held hands together while I drove into the city of New York. It was a different feeling having someone who genuinely cares about you by your side. Naomi constantly proved to me that no matter what, they would always love me. She came into my life when things were extremely difficult. My past relationships played a big role in all of those calamities. All thanks to Naomi, she let it known that I wasn't the problem. “How has New York been treating you so far?” Her voice suddenly laced with the thought in my head. “Good so far”, I responded with a warm smile on my face. “It's so nice to share the same air as you”, she smiled in return and continued, “I really cannot wait to see the beautiful place you have found. Also, I told you about my daughter who lives alone in New York, right?” She glanced at me with a questioning brow. “The feisty one who has refused to talk to her mother?” I smiled. Yeah, she is not always like that though. "She is sweet deep in the heart”, she responded in her defense. “I guess she took after you” “Really, you haven't even met her” We stole glances while we smiled and giggled about her daughter. One thing I have learned about Naomi is. She is the family type. She loves her daughter so much. You could tell by the way she talked about herself with so much joy in her eyes. I was just going to focus on my relationship with her. I am not the type to go well with young adults. For more reasons, Zack has been away for some time now. Seeing how much Naomi loves her daughter, I just have to accept it for myself. I should love her daughter just like she adores her. “Guess what, she finally agreed for a family dinner”, she beamed with joy. “Really! That is great news" "Tomorrow will be fine, right? Let's invite her over to the house.” “Okay, I will just text my baby Kayla. I was so filled with joy— “Baby Kayla?” I glanced at her, my hand still moving on the car steering. “Kayla, what is her name?” I asked again. “Hmm, hmm” she murmured, nodding her head, her eyes buried on the phone. “Kayla”, the name rang in my head continuously, sounding very familiar. It can't be the Kayla I know, right ? No, I would know if she was Naomi's daughter. There are so many Kaylas, and she can just be one out of a multitude of them. “Is everything alright?” Naomi interrupted into my lost thoughts. “No. "I'm okay ", I responded, pushing my thoughts away and focusing on what was important. Naomi. ****************** The aroma coming from the kitchen direction was something that made me gulp down my throat like I had something kept in it. I assisted her with arranging the table with the different varieties of food. She indeed outdoes me when I watched her prepare all her daughter's favorite meals. “I would like her to have a taste of all of them. "I can't wait to watch her eat”, that was her response. A few moments, we were done. I got in the bathroom, took a shower and got into my best ever suit. I was going to make a good impression on my new stepdaughter. We were both seated, waiting when we heard the sound of the bell. “Let me go get the door,” Naomi said. I heard her in the hand, a little smile across my lips. “We should welcome her together,” I stated. “Thank you, Damien” We both tugged our arms at one another and walked to the door. “You are welcome to- my lips curled, the smile suddenly disappeared. Our eyes opened in shock as they met. My thoughts were confirmed. Kayla is my secretary, my new stepdaughter and the one who I shoved my cock deep inside her throat!HUNTER POVAfter my meeting with Mike yesterday, he agreed to introduce me to a low-key engineer who will work the job. I moved with him to the stores to purchase the cameras that were recommended yesterday before moving home. I called the office to inform them that I was sick and they gave me a permit. Since they looked into my work performance that I didn't miss a day, they foolishly accepted from a glance of my clean records. Mike did the same and he was also granted. The agreement was meeting at the Revolvers before we sprang into action. Going over the Revolvers, he was with someone who was sitting with him. "Hey Buddy", he waved as he sighted me from afar. "My man, how are you doing", I asked as I moved closer to their table. "Am good as usual", he smiled as he shook hands which seems to be our ageless tradition whenever we meet. "So, this is Miles, the technician we'll be working with today" Mike said as he pointed at the guy standing next to him. We exchanged pleasantri
KAYLA POV Slowly adjusting to the light intensity of twilight, I just laid down smiling for no reason. I came to realization that yesterday's night was just a pivotal moment of my life. My life was engulfed in sadness and painful regret as a result of my father's painful death. I couldn't recall that I had this jovial personality within me. This continued until I had this dinner at Lucas yesterday. His manner of approach was unlikely other days. He just had like a father-daughter discussion. With that, I felt like a heavy burden was lifted yesterday and felt the sense of renewal. I had to prepare for work today as this renewal to be permanent. After a while, I finished the preparation office and I step outside. Luckily, I found a cab very swiftly who took me directly to the company. HUNTER POV Waking up that morning felt like a sting of a venomous scorpion. The sting of betrayal of Kayla towards me made my once healthy heart now shattered a million pieces. I tried to an
KAYLA POV After leaving his office, my mind was just relaxed not because I submitted the compiled reports but another that I can not comprehend. This sudden change of having dinner outdoors is something I can not control. I had no other choice than to flow with the new movement. This triangle of Lucas and Hunter made me hesitate to think for a while. Lucas was a personality I felt for his physique but later developed an underground feelings. On the other hand, Hunter was a friend who leaked the secret of having feelings toward me. This triangle is getting insane most of the time. I didn't sign up for this but it's just coincidentally. "Wake up, you are at work", I snapped out of that imaginary world back to reality. Some visitors came into the company which I had to direct their entry to the CEO's office. While attending to them, I made entries from my perspective while sending to the respective people via emails. After work hours, Lucas came out of his office and we
KAYLA POV "I had to adapt to the usual ways", I said as I stood up from my bed to prepare for work. "Actually, the idea was formulated by Hunter which everyone accepted immediately", Remembering these words from Mr Jasper reminds me of Hunter. He might feel bad because of his unanswered messages and calls I refused to pick at Paris. I decided to stay away from worries from anyone and enjoy those moments without interruptions. Reaching out to my phone, I logged into WhatsApp and observed several messages from Hunter. My phone was on DND, so I couldn't get a hold of those messages on time. He might think that I am totally avoiding him. His glance yesterday at the welcome party gave him a hint of the situation at hand. Regardless, I had to go to the office, so I prepared and headed out to Benta's & Co. Moving into the reception hall, I saw Hunter at his usual spot. "What's he up to today?" This question just popped unconsciously in my mind. "Good morning Her Royal Highne
HUNTER POV Staring at an empty space, I couldn’t stop thinking of Kayla. It's been 2 days since I laid my eyes on her and it felt like eternity. Since she left for a business meeting with the CEO, Mr Jasper who is the administrative officer was appointed as the acting CEO. Since I was the director of the Human Resources department, I was appointed to assist him in administrative duties. Mr Jasper on his part did his work squarely but referred the rest to me when he was exhausted. For me, I felt like a mini king because of the respect I was given these days. But none of this matters to me because this supposed queen of the empire is absent. My concern was raised when she didn’t pick her calls or respond to the message I sent earlier. I had to put in hope as I’ll still see her again. Then, my suspicion of the CEO's affairs with my Kayla popped into the mind. It came in such a way that my mind was flooding with unpronounced anger. I tried to wash myself away since I haven't
LUCAS POV Setting the route to the hotel, I sat back at the back of the car while occasionally glancing at Kayla. From her expression, I knew she was beaming with excitement. I had to break my normal routine of replying to work messages to focus on her. She was just concerned at the vibing street of Paris. At an instant, she turned and mistaken eye contact was formed. "Thanks for today", Kayla said while beaming with excitement. "That's the least I can do to a loyal secretary and my step daughter", I responded while she laughed and a smile crept from my lips to my entire face. "Step daughter huhh?", she asked while raising her eyebrows. "Come on, you are my potential step daughter, isn't it?" I asked while trying to clear out my facts. She nodded in affirmative as I looked away smiling. I was ruminating about the experience I had during the tour after a visit of Pascal's. I never had a real time travel partner for a while. Kayla seems different as she was just gen
