"Trisha where were you all night? I called your phone and there was no answer, I even went to your apartment. Hope you were safe?." Stacey asked, Her lips curved downward in worry.
"Yes. I am fine as you can see." I said making a twirl for her to see.
"I was worried sick about you."
"Don't worry about me." I held her hands tightly looking straight at her, giving a firm assurance.
At that moment, everything that happened last night between Kaiden and I replayed in my mind. No matter how hard I tried to wave it off, it kept coming back. I closed my eyes tightly.
"Did you hear?" Stacey said tapping my lap. She always has the hottest gist.
"What??"
"The real owner of our company has come to get it back. Mr. Frank whom we know as the CEO is not really the CEO." She said and my jaw dropped.
"Who...is the owner the..n." I stammered.
"The hottest and most charming Kaiden Kross."
" Oh please." I rolled my eyes. Stacey has eyes for the hottest CEOs in town. She is always hoping to have a romantic relationship with one or two.
"Wait, what??." I leaped as Stacey's words rang again in my head. "Is Kaiden Kross the real CEO of this company?" I asked again for clarity.
"Didn't you hear me?" "He really is." She support her chin with her hands and looked into space.
Fear gripped me as I thought again about Kaiden as the CEO that he is.
I am clearly in trouble and trapped, I hope I don't get my job back after what happened last night. I need to leave if not this job will be a living hell from now on.
I jerked off my thoughts as Mrs. Evans threw some files on my desk. "The CEO said you can keep your job but you won't get any pay. I need to see these files on my desk by tomorrow." She said.
"What's with Mrs. Evans this morning?" Stacey asked and we both laughed it off.
"No pay? Why? You need to go to the higher ups now and demand for answers." Stacey said pulling me out of the office to the elevator.
"No wait Stacey!! Listen!!" I said dragging my feet on the floor trying not to move.
"I will go on my own ok." I continued knowing fully well that this is all Kaiden's doing.
"What...I'm done." She said throwing her hand up in the air leaving me at the elevator.
Should I go up or should I not? I asked myself. I mean what is the need when clearly everything that happened last night was a 'misunderstand'. I mean he said it himself this morning when I woke up to my surprise on his bed completely naked.
While contemplating, my eyes widened to the sight of Kaiden Kross and his PA walking towards the elevator.
"Good morning Miss Trisha." His PA said and I bowed.
Kaiden sized me from top to bottom and I could feel my sweaty palms.
Curse my sweaty palms!!
Kaiden walked very close to me with his two hands in the side pockets of his pants, tilted his head forward and whispered "I believe you have gotten your job back Mrs Kross....You should have told me to stop."
"What!!!" I exclaimed as my face turned red.
"...But if you need anything I will be in my office." He said entering the elevator and giving me a wink.
Need anything??
*********
"I want to know why I can't get paid even after getting my job back." I stomped my hands on Kaiden's desk as I yelled.
"Shhhh!!! You shouldn't be yelling Mrs Kross. You know you can just come sit here and talk softly to me." He said tapping his crossed legs for me to come sit.
I scoffed.
"You can't be getting your pay when you are a MY wife."
"Then sack me goddamit." I yelled.
"You can't leave either. How on earth do you expect me to keep an eye on you?"
"Why do you treat me like this?" I asked.
"You will have to make a choice. Choose between keeping your job without a pay or get your sack letter and never get a job again, I have connections all over the globe. Note that when you keep your job I will be paying you daily allowance for being my wife, but if I give you your sack letter you will still be my wife but will not get a dime from me, and you will still have to pay me every dime for that ring."
"Then I should choose the second option and return your ring."
"But Mrs Kross you can't." He smirks. Tears clouded my eyes but I try to control it.
He walked up to me and spanked my ass. The tears bubbling up inside me finally gushed out.
"You are making it hard for yourself Mrs Kross, it's just a simple process." He said catching my every tear with the tip of his finger before it drops and plants a kiss on my lips.
"You can leave now." He said leaving my pride broken and devastated.
I walked slowly out of the door of his office with tears gushing out of my eyes. I began to regret every single decision I made without thinking. I cursed the day I was born and even the day I proposed to him.
"Wait!!" He ordered.
What is it that he wants again? I asked myself.
"Kingston Mansion today, same time. I need to enjoy my wife a bit more." He gave a devious smile.
"Just in case you decide not to come, I will find you. Just find a very reserved place to hide yourself, I have eyes everywhere." He assured me but I remain speechless the whole time.
Kaiden just knows how to please a woman, I just love the way he made me beg for more of him last night.
Should I go, just to feel that pleasure one more time?
Kaiden and I didn't have sex that night the way he intended it to be. We ended up staying all night trying to put the girls to sleep, which was a hell of work for him. He is new to this new dad phase but he will have to get used to it sooner or later.Well, Kaiden and I got married officially and he couldn't even wait to show me off to the people that we were married. Chantel couldn't stop spreading rumors to a lot of channels about Kaiden and I, but we still didn't come to counter anything that she said. Even after the people pleaded for a response from us, we didn't have time for anything of a sort.When I stepped inside Kingston Inc. as Kaiden's wife, I received a huge amount of respect from the same employees I used to work with. It is crazy how the employee became the Chairman's wife. Stacey on the other hand was very happy to be besties with the Chairman's wife.The company went through a lot of losses because of the deal that Mr Woods withdrew, just because his influence was al
"If you would excuse me, I have come to take my wife with me", Kaiden stood at the door and Michael, who was on crutches stood there hindering him from entering into the house."Well, too bad, this is my house and Trisha is the mother of my kids so she can't leave", Michael countered."So you really want to pretend like Trisha didn't get custody of the kids yesterday. Come one man, it was fun while it lasted", Kaiden placed his hands on Michael's shoulders and said. "Get your filthy hands off me. You always tend to get what you want. It is not fair at all, those are my kids. While you made Trisha loose your child, I made her keep mine", he swept Kaiden's hands off his shoulder with his hands and said."Life is not fair man, and besides, it is Trisha's kids also and her lawyer is good. You need to get another lawyer for yourself", Kaiden said and gave him a smirk."What are you guys standing here for? And where are my kids? Martha!!", I came down rolling my suitcase down with me."Yes
Trisha's POV Does Michael really think that I would leave Kaiden for him? Since we came back from the hospital, he has literally been watching and studying my every move, even my breathing pace. He has become very insecure about me, forgetting that karma was meant to knock on his door sooner or later.Did he really think that coming back as a 'changed person' was going to convince me that he was really 'changed'? Now look at him going back to the way he was before, or even worse. Why is he paranoid all of a sudden?Just because he was and is still the same Michael, I didn't care about all the things he did to keep me locked inside. All I wanted to do was to find Kaiden, and because my mind was made up, not even Michael couldn't stop me anymore. Now I am out in the streets and I don't know where Kaiden might be, but I still have that strong feeling that he is around here somewhere. I went to the street where the hospital is located to check around, just in case he was staying close b
Michael's POV When I saw Kaiden show up at the hospital the other day, all I wanted to do was to rip out his eyeballs with my eyes, because why not? Kaiden ruined my life from the day Trisha saw me having an affair, now that I feel like I have gotten my life together, he wants to take it away. It is either he takes my life or Trisha away me, which will never happened.Speaking of Trisha, the way she lost it completely when she saw Kaiden the other day made me wanted to do something that I vowed never to do -- raise my hand to a woman. Why will Trisha leave my kids in an attempt to go after Kaiden, like, who will look after them??Ever since we came back from the hospital that day, we haven't gotten intimate. We have been quarrelling the house down. She has been saying things about leaving my house to go after Kaiden, I mean, after everything I have done for her?? Why does she feel like she needs to explain things to Kaiden? After everything he has done to her??Now today, she is maki
Kaiden's POV The depth of heaviness I feel anytime I think about Trisha and Michael, is nothing compared to the depth of the sea. I still don't want to believe anything I have seen till I confront Trisha about it, but I don't want to ever see her face again. I rejoiced so much after my mother died and after she was put six feet into the ground, just because she was not going to be the problem between me and Trisha again.Looking back at what I saw that day, it is either Trisha is the problem, or I am the problem, or we are both the problem. I feel ashamed of myself. Trisha didn't give me time to come and get her, she just humiliated me by letting Michael win. She would have given me more time. I mean, it's just been a year and six months since she left.Now I don't know what to do. My heart is telling me to go back and meet Trisha and have a deep conversation with her, but my pride won't let me. Judging by the way she screamed happily when she saw me that day, she was so excited to s
Alex's POV "You know that with me around, you cannot do anything right? So why even try", I held Lucian's hands as he was about to open the CEO's office.Since Kaiden told me to keep an eye on Lucian just in case he tried to do anything stupid, I have been one step ahead of him before he even does anything. Just when I thought that Lucian was a very good friend to Kaiden, he proved me wrong.He keeps trying to sneak into the CEO's office, goodness knows what he is looking for inside there. He just gets angry at me for no reason. It is not like Stacey and I are in a relationship or anything. If he is bothered about that he should go and question Stacey not of me.Plus, I went secretly and revealed myself to my dad's Board of Trustees with the inheritance as my evidence. Surprisingly, they believed me and told me that they had been waiting for me all this long to come and take over the company. They told me that my father had left a message for me before his death, but they wanted to w
