"Wake up alla!, the next time I'll call your name; I'll come with a cold cup of water!" oli screamed at me from the kitchen.
I turned on the bed grumbling " I hate mornings!!" I screamed still settling in the warmth of my blanket.
"Well I don't care, we had a deal remember ? you better get up cause I'm not passing out my chance to meet that super hot doctor" she fired back
"Oh please you haven't met him yet , how do you know he is hot?" I dragged myself off bed and into the kitchen. Grabbing a cup of coffee oli made.
" I stayed up last night looking up Mexican doctors on all social media platforms, and majority are hot , he can't fall on the bad side." she drank her coffee and walked back to her room with the cup in her hand and goofy smile on her face.
"Stalker!" I screamed at her , she just giggled and shut her room door. She stayed up all night? Exactly how did she manage to get up so early?
I don't know how people do it but I can't, I hate mornings. I checked the clock its five am , curse this job!.
I kept reminding myself its for my fashion house , I kept chanting till I got dressed and it's already 6:45. I better get going
"How do I look?”I walked into oli's room before I head out.
"Oh dear you always look beautiful, go get that money , while I sleep" she rolled on her bed.
I'm so jealous I could cry.
"You lazy thing" I shot at her and she just giggled .
"Love you Alla"
"Love you too oli".
We gave each other the nicknames when we were in highschool, trust me funny story.
we went hiking with my parents and Olivia tried all the crazy stuffs, she made me climb up a hill with her; I saw a squirrel and I bumped into her, we both rolled down the hill like balls. I kept screaming; Oil! And she was screaming; alla!
it was so random and original;we both knew we were best of friends for real. We realized that in the hospital beds. I giggled at the memory
I left and locked the apartment; got to the garage, entered my car. let today be good for me or please who ever created this universe. I need a job.
I stopped and parked my car at a safe place then headed for the massive building ahead. Andreas Enterprises , its one of the biggest company in the world and I saw their ads online and I just had to apply, its seems they needed a secretary urgently and I needed a job urgently so win win.
I walked in the company and my jaws dropped so low, I'm sure they touched the floor. Magnifico!
This company is definitely a big deal and I will love working here, if I can get the job.
I walked to the pretty brunette behind the huge front desk. She smiled at me, well well people aren't usually this nice, they judge me before they even know me. I shot her my best smile and she beamed.
"Good morning ma'am, welcome to Andreas enterprise how can I help you?" She smiled again
"Good morning I'm here for the interview" I informed.
she nodded.
"Just go straight ahead take the elevator to the 34th floor and you will be attended to" she pinned a number on me and smiled.
I nodded and went ahead.
The Mabel tiles on the floor is just gorgeous, this place is so glamorous.
I finally got to the floor and a lot of people were here for the interview , I'll need a big big big luck to land this job . I maneuvered my way to get to a seat next to a nice looking lady ,but immediately I sat her eyes looked me down cold.
I'm totally under dressed for this I know but still its still an office wear. I was wearing a body con dress with a jacket and holding my bag, its the way I usually dress . whereas everyone here was dressed in full cooperate suit skirt and all men in suit. They were shooting me dirty looks. Yeah suck it up I'm chubby/curvy , oli drilled that in me.
People are so dumb, your looks shouldn't have a say when applying for a job , dummies.
A man to my left tapped my shoulders
"Hello" he smiled at me.
"hi"I curtly replied.
"Nervous uh" I took a proper look at him he was shaking like his hands too , man calm down.
"Uhh yeah but you're shaking , its going to be fine." I reassured him.
He nodded then chuckled.
" its my first time applying for a job and uhh, I got more tensed knowing the owner of the company is handling the interview, since its his personal assistant and secretary he is employing" he replied.
I raised a brow so?
"And why is that an issue?" I turned fully to him.
He gawked at me like he couldn't believe his ears.
"Well , that's a shocking question. Huhhh Mr perfectionist , a totally workaholic , arrogant and lots more , you haven't heard of him?" I shook my head I won't lie I got tensed. Especially since I wasn't professionally dressed.
He looked amused "did you even research before applying or you just applied?" I eyed him for a moment still thinking.
"I just applied" I replied.
"Mr Daniel" a receptionist called
He looked at me and smiled "well, that's me see you around beautiful" he stood up and went with the receptionist.
Beautiful? I blushed. No no stop it Paula you have to focus on the job. Shit how dumb are you huh?
Not even knowing where you're about to work stupid stupid stupid. I calmed myself down before I fucking collapse.
I played with my bag and focused on my fashion house chanting in my head and it worked,
it calmed me down .
Serval moments passed and people where called in . I didn't even get the full name of the guy that called me beautiful. He just wished me good luck and left. Cool dude, wish I would see him again.
"Miss Rayes"
I stood up and followed the lady and was ushered into a conference room . I took a deep breathe in and walked.
My heart dropped at the magnitude of the conference room. It was huge really huge , it had a long table with over thirty chairs around it , with a huge projector and technical stuffs.
The walls where plastered white , the interior design was just so professional.
I looked up and saw a man reading through files at the second seat to the left I was standing in front of him , eight to nine feet away with one chair also in the way.
He still hasn't looked at me, he was still going through the files.
"Good morning sir?" Shit it came out like a question .
Finally he raised his
head up and I gasped, his gaze was firerce but the raging Grey eyes took the breathe out of me.I know this face. My legs almost failed me the moment I realised who he was.
Ethan? I said in my head. I took a moment to observe him.
Oh my God, it is him.
He didn't seem to remember me . He just looked at me with an unreadable expression. I mean who would, but hell everyone would remember him , I especially, he was the guy that every girl wanted. I kinda wanted but I knew better. Guys like that weren't made for girls like me. Ever.
He did remember her, the name rang a bell when he looked at her file for the first time; before she was brought to the conference room.
Then he looked at her picture and he let out a gasp before smirking, this world is crazy . Its Paula, the brown eyes paula.
He had time to gather himself before Paula worked into the room so he didn't show any expression something he was always good at,
But wow did she look drop dead beautiful; she was a full woman now , her hips were magnificent and those boobs that chubby leg , that face, those damn brown eyes.
Paula was still day dreaming .
That sharp chiseled jaw, great hair you can forever look at , raging grey eyes , like a storm , sexy body , sexy face , he was like a god . oh God is he talking to me?
What is he saying?
I mentally slapped myself to reality.
He raised his brow
"Are you dumb?"
"Uhh no no, I'm sorry " I replied shaking my head.
"You seem to have graduated with good grades, although you don't have any experience " he flipped over what I assume to be my Credentials.
"Yes , I" he cut me off
"_ I have only one question for you , why do you want to work here? " he asked relaxing on his chair , oh God is he doing all this on purpose?, he is so hot, does he even remember me?
I focused " it will be a good learning experience and also I would like to be helpful to the company and earn so I can start up my fashion house." I answered truthfully.
He nodded and flipped my file to the side like it was trash ,
"Next"
Wait, what? that's all?
Was I too forward about the money part or was it my dressing.
I dragged myself out of there before I embarrassed myself further .
Ethan Andreas /Andreas of course he's not the only Andreas but only if you researched Paula you're such a dummy.
Chapter 2 done

Ethan POV“I am not letting my trauma rule me!” I screamed for the third time. “Are you sure? You seem to angrily yell at any slight discomfort. You still have episodes.” My therapist adjusted her her glasses around her big brown eyes. “I must say; you are the slowest patient I have ever encountered.” I slammed my hands on her big mahogany desk. “Are you trying to piss me off?” I screamed running my hands through my hair. “You seem to be catching on mr Andreas.” She dropped her pen and book. “Do you see how easy it is? You haven’t been doing what I asked you to do. If you had, they would have been some improvements by now.” “Or maybe you’re not doing your job well. I payed you to fix me!” I snarled at her “Fix you? I can’t fix what doesn’t want to be fixed. You are hiding your trauma ethan.” She poured a cup of coffee and pushed it my way. “I signed up for this lady, it clear I need to fix whatever causes the episodes I have.” I said between clenched fists. “ then communica
Paula POV Never in my whole twenty two years of existence have I seen mom like this, she was so furious and so was Mrs Andreas. I stilled after hearing the voice, all turned to Ethan's sister Dorothy, I haven't met her in person neither have I had a conversation with her. I have only seen her in one of their family’s photo and her name on some documents in the office. Ethan calls her dolly which suits her as she looks innocent and cute. "What is going on here?" She asked tiredly. She looked exhausted with bags under her eyes and her hunched posture. The office is taking a toll on her, I mean she just graduated highschool. Ethan's job in the company is very vital and even with the help of a skilled secretary its still going to maim her. Everyone stilled returning to a more pleasant posture. She tilted her head to me and knotted her brows. "Paula?" I didn't know what to say , it sounded like a question so I simply nodded. I wasn't expecting the beautiful smile she gave me. "Hello, I'v
Paula POV The next day swung by so quickly I hated it. I was so nervous I didn't want to get out of bed. The thought of going to his parents scares the shit out of me, but mom came and made me go shower. Mom said it would be better to go in the evening that way the chances of meeting both parents will be higher. So here I am slumped on the couch watching N*****x. The series I was watching is so alluring and erotic ' Bridgerton' I find myself wishing I was fucked. I got more sexual cravings as the months go by___ and indeed I needed to be touched, loved and worshipped. Ethan is the only man I'll allow touch me especially in my state. He is the father so it's natural to allow him___ I would not allow other man close to me, violating me and my baby. After watching episode six my panties where so soaked I had to take another shower. I made lunch for dad because mom went to work. Dad owns a small bookstore and it was doing so good and I loved Esther his employee, she held it down when da
Paula POV Staring directly at an unapologetic Olivia was breathe taking. She wasn't sorry for what she did to Ethan and honestly I'm not mad. I would do the same for my friends but the crazy thing is, Ethan went through hell and I watched it all. Shivers went through my spine when I think of his bloody body, when he was being beaten. I forced Clara to tell me about it and on getting to the room Olivia didn't deny and wasn't sorry. "Its fine baby, thanks for sticking up for me" I smiled and her eyes lit up and she nodded like a cute little rascal. “I honestly didn’t mean to scare him, if he is man enough then he’ll come back.” “You and I know Ethan is every bit of a man” I said proudly before catching myself. Clara looked at me, she was smirking. I bit my lips. “We know, he got you pregnant didn’t he?” Clara said. “Only a man , a real strong man can” Olivia added I blushed at their indecent remark. “Stop it both of you!” They kept raising their brows and making faces. My face
Ethan POV I was running through the halls clueless as to where Paula was, I felt my body boil and the heat come up my skin. She has to be okay, i cant loose her and the baby or either of them!. I'd forever blame myself. I couldn't turn back to ask Olivia and Clara where she was, the fear made me run like a raging beast. I stopped a few nurses to ask and finally one directed me to her room. I stalked the room preparing myself for whatever news I was to hear. I couldn't help it as I badged into the room. I found a sleeping Paula. The machines where aiding her and she didn't seem to have woken up. I knotted my brows in confusion as realization dawned on me. Olivia! I turned and saw olivia watching me with venom in her eyes. "How does it feel huh?" She barked out. I stared blankly at her. "How does what feel?" I asked irritated."How does it feel to be helpless, does it feel good ? Tell me you sumbag! That's how she felt every time you called for her. She runs with no break, desperatel
Ethan POV My heart left my body when I saw what happened next...Regina fell from Paula's body while Paula raised her upper body and blood painted her face. I was scared was she the one hurt? I couldn’t really tell. Mr delvon let out a huge ugly cry running over to Regina's body on the floor who I just noticed isn't moving. "Wake up baby, common for daddy" he cried aloud. He continued shaking Regina while placing his head on her chest. Paula crawled away from them with her mouth opened wide. At least my baby is moving. Regina was bleeding from the mouth, Paula had a clean shot to her gut. "Shoot that girl!" Delvon screamed over to one of his men. What! I struggled with everything I had but it was useless. I was held down by four men and was already beaten to a pulp. I have never felt this helpless. I've never felt this way. Vulnerability is something I never felt till now. And like when I was kidnapped, my chest stopped moving, I was having a panic attack, not now! I scold myse
