The innocent 26 years old woman bottled her feelings inside her. She hopes that one day her cold and assertive Boss will notice her feelings for him but it just seems like that day refuses to come at all. Leilani refused to give up. What will she do when one day her cold, ruthless boss told her something. Something that she always dreamed of. But it just…… "Marry me." Dylan told a very surprised Leilani.

I dropped my bag on top of my desk and walk off to get Mr Black's coffee. After making the coffee I walk straight to Mr Black's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." I heard him say from the inside. I took in a deep breath and look down at my dress to see if it was out of place, after making sure that I look good, I pushed the door open and stepped inside then close it behind me.
"Good morning, Sir." I greeted him and carefully dropped the cup of coffee before him. I looked up at him through my lashes and found out that he wasn't even paying attention to me. He looked good.
The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his ankles, he wasn't wearing a tie. The first two bottons of his shirt were undone.
I gulped and looked down at the coffee on the desk then back at him.
"Sir, your coffee." I said calmly.
I'm not sure if he even heard me. He was holding a newspaper in his hand and he was so engrossed in it. I raised myself up and smiled.
"Sir, the meeting with Winchester Corporation will be starting in fifteen minutes." I said softly. He finally dropped the newspaper on the mahogany desk and looked up at me then back at his wristwatch.
He stood up from his chair and grabbed hold of his tie that was placed on his desk. He buttoned up his shirt and started doing his tie.
I watched as he wore his tie effortlessly and picked up the cup of coffee from the desk. He took a sip of the coffee and brought out his phone from his pants pocket.
"Stop staring at me and get ready for the meeting." He said, hearing his husky voice my heart did a huge flip. He knew that I was staring….he knew all along.
I just couldn't help feeling this way anytime he talk to me.
"Yes, Sir." I responded and turned around to leave the office.
"Miss Carter." He called and I quickly turned around to look at him. His gray eyes lingered on mine for sometimes before he looked down at the cup of coffee in his hand.
"Get going." He uttered. I nodded and quickly walk out of the office.
It is crazy, for a minute I believed that he wanted to say something else. But what did I expect him to say to me exactly?
Miss Carter, you look good? Leilani, you're beautiful?
I must be wishing too much then.
I walk behind my desk and brought out a file that I've been studying all night from my bag. I sat down on my chair and quickly went through the file one last time.
This deal is a big one and I can't afford to make a single mistake off it.
I've been helping him secure deals for five years now, helping him with works, projects, deals, meetings.
This one shouldn't be a problem.
The least I can do for a man that I love is helping him achieve his dreams silently.
Mr Black walk out of his office and I looked up at him and stood up as well, with the file in my hand and my iPod, I followed him to the elevator.
We both step inside his private elevator and I pressed in the 30th floor number.
****
I passed across the necessary files to both Mr Black and the president of Winchester Corporation.
Mr Black bring up the file to his face, I watch as he scan through the file in a matter of minutes.
In the business world he was know as a genius. For him, things are based on logic.
His judgements were always logical…. still are.
I watch him silently from where I was sitting, his mouth twitched into a cold smile. That smile that makes me lose my sense of reasoning. That smile that still cause my heart to race.
Oh fuck me, He has ruin me.
I remember my first meeting with him, it was the most embarrassing day of my life.
5 YEARS AGO…
I locked my door and straightened my wig then glanced at my reflection on my phone screen.
Oh shit, first day at work and I'm already late.
I got inside the elevator and pressed the last floor number. I got to the parking lot and unlocked the door of my old mustang GT.
I've been driving it for three years, originally my Dad's.
The hood up on the way added to my anxiety. I just couldn't fathom how Mr Black will feel when I get to work.
He is a cruel, ruthless and logical man. If rumors were to be believed.
I parked my car at the company's parking lot and jumped out of it then rushed inside the company. My stiletto wasn't helping the manner and I resisted the urge to yank it off my feet and start running.
I successfully got up to Mr Black's office and met Aria, the old secretary behind her desk. She was to stay a few days teaching me all I needed to know as Mr Black's secretary.
She shot me a glare and shook her head. "You're late, Mr Black want you in his office as soon as you arrive." She said.
I clutched my handbag tightly in my hand and walk over to his office door. I knocked on the door and I heard a grunted response.
I took in a deep breath and pushed the door open then step inside the office. I walk deeper into the huge office, my eyes taking in all the decorations and couch, including the plagues and awards used in decorating the office.
It was magnificent.
Behind a huge mahogany desk was Mr Black. Before then I haven't meet him physically.
My interview was conducted by Aria, so standing in front of him was...I felt overwhelmed.
I stared at the huge, broad shoulder and very muscled man infront of me. His gray beautiful eyes looked up at me when I wasn't saying anything.
He raised an eyebrow and placed his phone on the desk.
"You are Leilani Carter, I assume." He said, I was too engrossed with looking at him to even form a word.
"Miss Carter." He called. I snapped out of my trance and blushed profusely.
I was drooling over my boss.
"Sorry Sir," I muttered.
He sighed and stood up from his chair, his length surprised me. I had to step a couple of foots back before I could see his face.
"I know that I look good Miss Carter, but you're here to work. Not to drool over me." He deadpanned.
That day was obviously the most embarrassing day of my life.
PRESENT…
I stared at him as he started discussing the business with Winchester Corporation. Suddenly I felt a heavy weight on my chest.
I know that I'm not someone of importance to him. I'm just his secretary.
But I wish, I've always wished that he'll see me as someone else other than his hardworking secretary.
I've always waited and still waiting for that day when he will see me as a woman.

Here is the first chapter!
Love, Promise.
61Leilani has succeeded in putting the kids to sleep, she walked out of the kids room and went to their room next do but couldn't find Dylan there. She raised one eyebrow and closed the door before making her way downstairs.She checked the bar and she couldn't find her husband so she walked down the hallway towards his office.She knocked softly on the door before pushing it open.Dylan was sitting on his desk and working on his laptop when Leilani walked in. He had a lot of works to do since he was planning to open a new branch of his company in Tokyo and since he now go home early most of the days he couldn't work on everything in his office at the company.Dylan gazed up as soon as he heard the knock and watched Leilani walk in."Hey, Babe." Leilani greeted as she walked further inside the office. Her eyes scanned the large mahogany desk and the equipments on top of it, ranging from the computer, the laptop in front of Dylan. The unlit cigar beside his laptop and lots more."I ch
60Dylan joined Leilani on the bed and wrapped his hand around her waist.She has been healing for months now and the more he looked at her the more he wanted to touch her.Thinking about her made him happy.He wanted to spoil his little wife. He wanted to give her anything her heart desires.He wanted to make her happy. She just have to say the word."Did you have fun cooking with your friends today?" Dylan asked her and Leilani nodded. She placed her hand on top of Dylan's and sighed."Greg's wedding is next week, I knew that he pushed it back this far because of me. I want to surprise him but I don't know how." She complained. Dylan sighed and sniffed her hair as he closed his eyes."What do you think he would appreciate the most? A car? A house? Or you can buy him a land. That would be better. If I were him I would appreciate the land more." Dylan said and Leilani turned around in his arms to face him. She touched his forehead and pushed up the hair that was covering them. Her eyes
59Leilani was laying down on a king sized bed inside the VIP room at the hospital, a drip attached to her hand and her eyes closed. She was only wearing a basketball outfit and her hair was pack into a messy bun by Serafina."How is she doing?" Mrs Carter said as she walked inside the room with two shopping bags in her hand."She haven't wake up yet after breastfeeding them, but the doctor said it is because of the medicine injected inside the drip." Serafina responded and touched Leilani's hand."She is so strong, I had no idea that she was carrying quadruplets inside her." Serafina muttered under her breath.Right after giving birth to her babies Leilani became weak. She was transferred to the VIP section where her babies were brought to her after getting cleaned.Leilani couldn't hold back her tears when she saw them.They were the cutest little angels he ever seen. They looked wonderful.The all took Dylan's face. Leilani smiled contentedly when she noticed this. As she breastfee
58Dylan was sitting inside his home when Leilani knocked on the door and walked in.The more her stomach grow the more beautiful she becomes and even Dylan could see this."Hey, Sweetheart." He greeted and stood up to help her.Leilani rounded up the table and walked right into Dylan's opened arms."What are you doing? I search for you almost everywhere around the house." Leilani said and Dylan chuckled.Why would she think of doing something like that?"Why? Are you doing exercises? Why would you search for me in a house that have 10 bedrooms and fifteen toilets?" Dylan asked in amusement.He found the situation funny but Leilani didn't as she lightly punched him on the chest."I want your homemade chicken pasta." Leilani suddenly said. It was just 9:21 a.m. she has eaten breakfast so why would she want another one in less than an hour?"Why? You ate just a few minutes ago." He reminded her and she pushed her hand away." And? And so what? Should I remind you that I'm eating for fou
57They both stared at each other for a while before Leilani walked up to him and wrapped her hands around his waist."I've missed you so much. I felt like I would die. It was suffocating, Baby." Leilani said, her lips quivering and her hands wrapping tightly around Dylan's waist.Dylan placed his hand on her back and rubbed her back up and down in a consoling manner."I am here. I am here for you, Leilani." He whispered. Leilani stopped sobbing and looked up at him, her eyes filled with hope."Say it again. Your last word in the text message you sent me. I want to hear you say it."Leilani said."I love you." Dylan whispered. "I love you, I need you, I want you Baby girl. I would do anything for you."Dylan cupped her cheek and kissed her lips softly, not minding that there were other people inside the living room with them.He just wanted to feel her again, to hold her.After kissing her Leilani smiled sweetly and placed Dylan's hand on top of her stomach.Dylan didn't know how to fe
56Liam was grabbing something from his house when he decided to check up on Leilani but was terrified when he saw her laying on the floor, a pregnancy test in her hand. "Lala, Lala please wake up. Lala!" He shouted while shaking her body viciously.He left her on the ground and rushed inside the bathroom where he soaked a small towel inside the water before going back to where Leilani was spread out.He wiped her forehead and her hands with the wet towel while calling her."Lala? What is going on? Lala wake up." He stuttered and patted her cheek. Leilani woke up with a gasp, her eyes widened and her body shaking.The terrifying reality trickle down her head and moisture clouded her vision.Why is this happening to her?Why does she have to be so unfortunate? Whose child is she carrying? Dylan's or her abuser's?"Lala," Liam called as his eyes trailed to the pregnancy test on the ground. "You are pregnant."Leilani sat up and rested her back against the wall."I am pregnant." She whi
55After about the hours' drive, Leilani finally touched down in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.She was wondering where to go and search for a small town to go where she could be at peace. Ranging from Arizona to Alhambra she finally chooses to go to Doylestown and it looks like she would love it.Before she left New York she made sure not to let anyone know where she was going. She just wanted to see it as a vacation where she would enjoy herself and find peace in herself.After about two hours drive she was standing in front of the house she rented.The house was small but moderate. It is good for just one person. It was decorated with ornament flowers which brought out the beauty even more and the body was painted with milk color. It was simple and beautiful.Leilani pulled out her bag from her car trunk and closed the trunk. She turned to walk inside the house when the next house door was pulled open and Liam who was the same age as Leilani walked out of the house.His and Leilani's ey
54When Leilani was discharged from the hospital she refused to go back to Dylan's house.She just couldn't bare the shame.Moisture gathered in her eyes when she remembered the look that Dylan gave her when she made her intention known.He was hurt.The memories that trickled back in steady and horrendous in their accuracy tormented her.She could still hear her screams and her pleas that fell on deaf ears. She could still feel the pain between her legs where she was taken.She couldn't subject herself to that kind of situation. She has came into conclusion of what she would do and no one would be able to convince her about it."Are you sure about this? You need a lot of love at this moment and your husband is in the best position to provide that for you. You can't do this, Leilani." Serafina said and Leilani sighed. She released a broken breath and swallowed the huge lump that formed inside her mouth."It would be pure wickedness if I stay behind, Fina. The truth might be hidden now
53Leilani's shirt was cut open with a knife. Only her black bra covered her chest. And she was shivering from cold.She was awake on determination. She should have been out long ago."Look at those full breast, they look succulent and beautiful Dylan Black is a lucky m***********." The stranger said and groped her through the bra and Leilani shook her head.She couldn't do anything. Her hands were tied against her back and her legs were tied too. Her eyes were covered with a blindfold and her mouth was already sealed with a duct tape, she was helpless.The bra was also cut into two and her breast was let out of their confinement.One of the men whistled and touched Leilani's breast."Just look at that, so f****** beautiful." He murmured.Tears fell down Leilani's eyes as she was being assaulted.How was she going to survive this? How was she going to go back like nothing happened?How was she going to go out in public and act like all is well with her when it isn't?As she was bei
