Lucy’s POVMy nerves are shot because it is today I'm going to start learning business management, something I know next to nothing about, as an intern at Nathan’s company.I’ve only ever worked as a secretary for my ex-husband, and this role I’m training for is very different from that. The last thing I want to do is to screw up, hence the nerves.However, I'm also a little excited and eager to learn and prove myself to my parents for the chance that they’ve given me and all that they’ve done for me in the little time that they’ve known me.Thus, I arrive promptly at Nathan's company at the stipulated time. I'm dressed impeccably in blazers and tailored trousers, and my hair is professionally done.The driver that my dad assigned me drops me off in front of the building, and I step out of the car, take a deep breath, and then go into the large and impressive building.In no time, I locate where I'm to work and exchange pleasantries with the people I’m to work with. It turns out that
Nathan's POV“Hello, Nathan. How are you doing?” Mr. Ralph Lewis, Lucy’s father, asks me over the phone.The man has been nothing short of grateful ever since I found Lucy, and finding her has made me even closer to the family.“I’m very well, sir, and you?”“I’m fine as well. Listen, son, I know you’ve done a lot for my family in recent times, and I’m very grateful for that, but I have one last favor to ask from you.”“Sure, sir. What do you need me to do?” I ask him.“It’s about my daughter, Lucy. As I hoped she would be, she’s very interested in learning my business and taking over it from me one of these days. So she needs to learn a lot of business skills in a short time. I was hoping you’d help me show her the ropes. I believe that no one can teach her as fast as you can.”“Of course, sir. That’s not a problem. I’ll be glad to teach her. Do send her to my office as soon as she’s ready to start.” I reply.“Thank you, son. I really appreciate your kindness and I’m indebted to you.
Lucy’s POVWorking at Nathan’s office turns out to be a very great experience, as my parents assured me that it would be. Everyone’s super nice to me, so the work environment is very conducive.In a very short time, I learn so many things. I’ve always been very keen on taking on new challenges, so all of this is very easy for me.It comes as no surprise to anyone when I’m promoted to be an assistant to Nathan’s assistant after a period of internship, so that my training can advance even further.I start working in my new role, and I love every minute of this new role because Nathan is such a chill boss.One day, I'm busy preparing some documents that he needs, when a whiff of expensive perfume hits my nostrils.Looking up from what I'm doing, I see a beautiful woman who looks to be about my age saunter past me gracefully, her head held high.She has an air of importance about her, and everything about her screams ‘luxury.’ She heads straight for Nathan’s office without sparing me a gl
Lucy’s POVFor some weird reason, I can't get the hostile look on Diane's face off my head.I’m used to females like her, who think that they're the best thing to happen to mankind and that no one is fit to lick the soles of their feet, but still, her behaviour stings for some reason.I'm already dreading the time she's going to come out of Derek's office, and I fervently hope that I won't have to interact with her.About ten minutes after I settle down at my desk, I hear heavy footsteps approaching. When I look up, I see a handsome, tall man who looks to be the same age as Nathan, sauntering towards me.“And who might this raving beauty be?” The man drawls in a deep voice before I can speak, coming to a stop in front of my desk.I turn and look around to be sure that he is talking to me, and when I realize that he indeed is, I turn back to face him.“Uh, hello, sir. You're welcome to …”“Oh, don’t do that, pretty damsel. Don’t call me sir. You make me feel like I’m someone’s aged gra
Diane’s POVI’ve always hated it whenever a new woman starts working in Nathan’s office, especially when it’s a beautiful woman.So you can imagine my surprise and disgust when I arrive at his office, and I see a beautiful, young woman, who seems to be around my age, and whom I’ve never seen before, working there.The woman even has the balls to talk to me … something almost all of Nathan’s staff are scared shitless to do, so to say I'm surprised is an understatement.When I pause and get a good look at her, my surprise turns to fear. Yes, fear …Not only is this woman beautiful, but she’s very clearly the type of woman that Nathan likes … the type of woman I’ve tried to be over the years just to get him to decide that I'm worth being with, but I can never keep up the façade for long.She has that 'good girl' look, which Nathan digs. Right now, she’s smiling at me as though we’re besties, or equals, but of course, I'm not having any of it. Just looking at her, I can tell she’s way ben
Diane’s POVI close the distance between Nathan and me and lock eyes with him, giving him my best seductive look ... a look that never fails to bring men to their knees.Then I slowly and deliberately lift my hands and undo the top button of my shirt. Nathan’s eyes widen immediately. "Yeah, that's what I thought." I think to myself, feeling very fulfilled.Then, I smile and go a step further to undo the second button. Now, the tops of my full breasts are exposed, and I silently thank my stars that I wore my sexiest push-up bra with its matching panties before coming here.“What the hell do you think you're doing?” Nathan asks me.“Come on, babe, we’re both adults, and I know you want this as much as I do,” I reply in my sultriest voice, undoing the remaining buttons, so he can have an eyeful of just what he’s been missing.I’m unprepared for the next words that come out of his mouth.“Diane, have some self-respect and button your shirt. This is an office, for goodness’ sake.” He tell
Nathan’s POVI’ve never liked late-night calls, so when my phone suddenly starts to ring sometime after midnight, I bolt upright in bed immediately to check who’s calling.My heart sinks with dread when I see that it’s my older sister, Doris, but I quickly answer the call."Doris? What's up?"“Nathan, he’s started acting up again. Can you come get me, please? It’s really urgent.” She whispers fearfully.“You fucking bitch! I thought I told you not to call anyone? Who the fuck are you talking to on the phone?” I hear Doris ask angrily, after which there comes the sound of a small crash and a yelp of pain from Doris.Every trace of sleep vanishes from my eyes, and I get up immediately, rummage through my closet, pick up the first trousers I can find, and shove my legs into them.“Doris, what’s going on? Talk to me, dammit!” I say into the phone, as I find a shirt and wear it.I do not get a response from Doris, despite desperately asking her several times what’s going on. Soon, the call
Nathan’s POVThe next hour is a blur that I can hardly remember. Somehow, I manage to dial 911 and give them all the necessary information. Luckily, help arrives fast, and soon, we’re on our way to the hospital, where she's admitted immediately. To my greatest relief, although my sister is unresponsive, she is still alive, and the paramedics begin to work on her immediately.I sit in the waiting room, feeling equal measures of rage and helplessness, and I call my parents to let them know what's going on. Finally, after some hours have passed, a doctor comes over to talk to me, his expression grim.“She’s suffered severe trauma from the beating she took. She’s still unconscious and will be for a while, but thankfully, we’ve managed to stabilize her. She’s lucky that you brought her in right on time. She’ll recover fully, but it will take time and patience. I hope that the person who did this to her will be found quickly, but even more importantly, I hope that she gets the help she nee
POV unknownIt’s a few minutes past midnight, which means that I should long have been asleep, yet sleep eludes me like a plague. The reason for my sudden insomnia is pure, unadulterated fear, coupled with anger. Yes, fear that the sins of my past are going to catch up with me long after I committed them.The anger is because the perfect plan that I hatched and perfected over the years is soon going to be messed up, big time, and all my patience over the years is going to be in vain.There’s no way on earth I'm going to let that happen, which means that I have to start thinking of the perfect way to get rid of the problem.This whole thing started just this afternoon. I was doing some late afternoon shopping when I heard the sound of twinkling laughter.Although my back was turned, which meant I couldn’t see who was laughing, I recognized that laughter immediately. It traumatized me enough when I was younger.When I turned to see who was laughing, it felt like I’d been slammed right
