Vera's POV

I was angry after being ghosted by Jennifer last night at the club, and I tried to call her several times after she was dragged out by the professor that night. I could shake off the fear that something must have happened between the two last night, so I decided to call her.

I tapped my feet angrily on the floor waiting for her to pick up the call, and I sighed in relief seeing that she picked.

“Good morning, Jen! How are you?” I greeted cheerfully, masking the anger I felt, and I waited for her response.

“Hello Vera, how—mhmm!” I heard her ruffled voice, and I was confused as to why she sounded like that. I thought I was hearing things, so I decided to keep talking.

“Why did you leave in a hurry last night?” I asked, as I tried to catch any indifference in her voice.

“I'm sorry, Vera—I will have to call you back,” she muffled and hung up on the call.

“Did she just hang up on me?” I blurted, as my grip tightened around the phone.

How dare she hang up on me? I thought, and

    Jennifer's POV “You are really the best, Jennifer. Did you see how the men cowered in fear as you took over?” Raphael gushed, but I wasn't ready to spare him.“That's enough. What do the investors mean about you threatening landowners to sign off their lands for redevelopment? You know I don't work that way,” I rasped, and Raphael exchanged looks with his assistant before he started to appease me.“I know you are angry, but trust me, it's not what this is,” he explained, but I didn't believe him because I knew how brutal Raphael could be when it comes to business, so you sternly warned him not to do business like that again.After the meeting, we left for RM Holdings, where Raphael introduced me as the director of strategic planning. I got settled in my office, but Raphael didn't leave, so I decided to chase him out.“Are you planning to slack off because you are the CEO? Can you do that as the CEO?” I mocked, and Raphael rolled his eyes as he dragged my chair to his side while he ra

  • Housekeeper For My Hot Professor    Welcome Onboard!

    Jennifer's POV My body shivered being closer to him, and I felt overwhelmed by his presence. But how could I still be affected by him all this while? “Miss? Are you okay?” He asked as he shook my rigid body, and that was when I realized that my body was still clinging to his, with my face buried in his chest, reminding me of old times. “I'm sorry,” I blurted, as I turned around to leave to make sure that my face wasn't visible to him, but I noticed my hair was stuck with his button.What an unfortunate situation! How could I be entangled with the man I wanted to run away from the most?“Ahh!” I winced in pain as I tried to disentangle my hair, but it was hard. “Wait! Let me help,” he breathed, as he held my hand, trying to help with my entangled hair.My breathing felt shallow as his hands moved through my hair, and I could feel myself losing myself being so close to him. I had missed everything about him: his scents, his gentle touch, his smile, his gaze–everything about him was w

  • Housekeeper For My Hot Professor    It's Him

    Jennifer's POV “Finally!” I breathed as I stepped out of Raphael's car, and a tight smile curled up to my lips as the afternoon sun hit my face, but it was nice to breathe in the air of the country after a long time.I could still remember how I ran out like something being chased out of the country; five years ago, I couldn't believe it had been that long. Five years, but it felt like all of it happened years ago, the scars that hadn't healed, the tears that hadn't dried off, and the trust that was broken forever–they were forever ingrained in my mind, and I didn't think I would ever heal from it.But I had learnt to love myself, which was working out well for me.“What did you think of my humble abode? Did you like it?” Raphael breathed, and I took in the sight of the building. “Humble abode? This is a mansion, and it's magnificent, but why am I here?” I asked.I asked Raphael to get me an apartment because I couldn't live with him; I just wanted to live alone.“Actually–your place

    ****Five Years Later****Raphael's POV“Ahh!” A loud groan rang through my study room, but I wasn't bothered by it, as I stepped hard on the man's leg as I watched him shriek in pain. His pain was bringing me joy, but I snapped out of reverie when I read my assistant, Jack's voice.“Boss, I think he wants to talk now.” He said, and I looked at the battered man on the floor. “Really? Then start talking,” I said, sitting on my chair.My study room was already reeking of blood after some minutes of beating the man, who was the manager for my ongoing apartment complex project, but I wasn't concerned that the motherfucker messed with the wrong person.“I'm sorry, boss, but I wasn't the one that leaked the footprint—” he was saying, but I grabbed his chin hard, ready to dislocate his jawline. Everyone knew me to be brutal in this line of business, which made me climb to the top in just 5 years of being in the country, even though there are obstacles, which are all 6ft below. “Are you reall

  • Housekeeper For My Hot Professor    His Punishment

    Lyon's POV “Start talking!” I rumbled in anger at my men, and they all cowered in fear. I was currently in my study room with my friend, James, and my security men. I just found out that what happened at the house the other day was all planned out to send Jennifer out of the house. I couldn't believe they betrayed me under my nose. How could I be paying them, and they would be answering to someone else–my ex-wife?“We are sorry, boss, but Ms Orlando told us that it was for the better, and we thought—” they were saying, but I heard a knock on the door, and I knew that it was Meredith, who I sent for. I asked her to come in, and the door creaked open immediately.James and I exchanged glances as she walked in, and I wondered what other things Meredith had done the past weeks that my memories had been fuzzy about.“James, you are back?” Meredith muttered, but James just hummed in reply. “So why did you call?”“Is it true that you are the one that framed Jennifer and sent her out of the

    Jennifer's POV I waited for Raphael all day that day, but he didn't come to check up on me, as usual, but I didn't fret as I knew he would come for me soon. The next day came, and I waited for him all day because I thought he wasn't coming.“I don't think he will be coming today too, Jennifer, did you think he might have thought you left so–” the nurse said, as she dropped the food she came with on the table, but she couldn't complete her words as the door to the room opened revealing Raphael in a rumpled shirt with some buttons missing, but he looked graceful.“Oh, Mr. Norman, you are here!” The nurse beamed, but I didn't acknowledge him as I dragged the food tray closer, and dug in like I haven't had food in days. “Are you still alive?” Raphael asked sarcastically, but I didn't reply.I was too nervous to meet his gaze because I knew he was my best bet, but the thought that Raphael might not agree to help me scare me the most, so I think if I get enough energy I could get my guts u
