Conrad's POVAfter having breakfast I decided to bring Atasha to the shelter that I built for kids abandoned by their parents.No one knows that I own this kind of place. She is the only person that I brought here.When we arrived at the shelter kids started running towards my car and upon getting off they hugged me tightly."Uncle Conrad!" they happily shouted.After a while Sister Solana along with Sister Teresa greeted us."It's nice to see you again Conrad. It's been a long time since your last visit," Sister Teresa uttered while looking at me with her eyes filled with happiness.I smiled back at Sister Teresa and then at Sister Solana."It's nice to see you again Sisters. I'm sorry it took me too long to visit, I got busy with my business," I responded then turned my head to Atasha. I held her hand and then looked at Sister Teresa and Sister Solana."And got even busier after marriage. This is my wife, Sisters, Atasha Quinn, she's a doctor," I proudly introduced Atasha to them.A
Atasha's POV After spending a day at the shelter I fell in love with Conrad even more.Whenever he's with the kids his cold facade was gone. The way he smiles at those kids you can feel his love for them...you can feel his warmth."Why are you staring at me?" he asked then threw a glance at me before bringing his eyes back to the road.I simply smiled and then shook my head."I love you," I said. Conrad looked at me again with a genuine smile plastered on his face."I love you Atasha," he responded.When we arrived at his unit he decided to cook lunch.I watched Conrad as he prepare our food but my attention was diverted when I felt my phone vibrate.I took out my phone and upon looking at the screen I saw Sebastian's name so I immediately answered the call."What is it?" I asked upon answering the call."Dad... he's having an attack, we need you here," and upon hearing those I immediately grabbed Conrad's keys lying on the table."Where are you going?" I heard him asking but I cont
Conrad's POVAtasha refuses to be part of inexorable vis before but now I can see her eagerness to learn how the organization works and that scares me because the more she knows the more her life will be put in danger.I let out a deep breath as I watched Atasha get ready for an auction this is not a simple auction because instead of bidding for expensive things, the Mafia bid for women."Do I look okay?" Atasha asked while looking at herself in the mirror.She is wearing a red fitted gown that perfectly hugs her curve.I stood up and then hugged her from behind. I kissed her shoulder and then looked at her reflection in the mirror."You look beautiful," I commented which made her smile."Let's go," she said."Are you sure about this?" I asked and without any hesitation, she nods her.I am against this idea but I can't say no to Atasha.After an hour of driving, we arrived at the venue.The place is heavily guarded so you can't easily set foot inside the place but since they already k
Atasha's POVHearing those words from him felt like someone spilt acid on my heart.I now realized how important Veronica is to him."You seem quiet," Conrad said but I simply smiled at him."I'm just tired," I lied then focus my eyes in front listening to these dirty and ruthless people buy women as if they are some sort of accessories."100 million," one of the men offered.I looked at the woman in front and I saw fear in her eyes."200 million," the other man bid."300 million," I raised and upon saying that price I heard a gasp."300 million for Mrs Sawyer," the host announced.The host waited for a higher price but no one dares to surpass 300 million."Aurora sold to Mrs Sawyer," a simple smile appeared on my lips."You have 300 million on your account?" Conrad asked.I faced him and then shook my head."No, but you do," I simply responded then focus my eyes in front."Our next price Elizabeth," the host said then a woman wearing red lingerie stepped on the stage and looked at ev
Atasha's POVWhen the auction ended we drove back to his unit and during the whole ride, I remained silent he might have noticed it so the moment I stepped inside his unit he made me face him."What is your problem love?" he asked.I simply smiled at Conrad and then shook my head."Nothing I am just tired," I simply responded then headed towards our room to put my bag down and sat at the edge of the bed.Conrad followed me then sat beside me and hugged my waist then rested his chin on my shoulder.I let out a deep breath.
Atasha's POV I stayed quiet but Conrad didn't leave he stayed beside me."What's wrong?" he asked once again.He looked at me then held my chin and looked directly into my eyes."Tell me what's wrong love," he said."I'm jealous," I confessed but he didn't laugh. He just listened to every word that came out of my mouth."Jealous of who?" he asked."Veronica," I honestly responded."Why would you be jealous of Veronica?" he asked looking at me completely confused."Because she knows you well. She knows how the organization works and she seems special to you. She is the only woman that I saw who can get near you," I added.Conrad smiled at me and then removed the few strands of hair that covers my face."I love you. You don't have to be jealous of Veronica, I see her as my sister nothing more," he responded looking at me with his eyes filled with sincerity."I know, I'm sorry," I uttered. I can feel tears forming in the corner of my eyes and after a while tears cascaded down my face.C
Conrad's POVI made a dinner reservation at Atasha's favourite restaurant.I am done with my work so I decided to leave my office and headed towards the hospital.Upon stepping inside the lobby I was welcomed by a busy crowd.I headed towards the emergency room to look for my wife and when I saw her a smile appeared on my lips.Atasha is busy talking to her patient. She has this genuine smile plastered on her face and I can say that she is the happiest whenever she is doing her job.When Atasha lift her head she saw me so her smile grew wider.She waves her hands at me so I wave back.Atasha excused herself first before walking towards me."Tired?" I asked. Atasha smiled at me and then nod her head."I am almost done, just wait for me in my office," she said so I left her in the emergency room and headed towards her office just like she told me.While walking in the hallway I stopped when I saw Sebastian."Are you looking for your wife?" he asked."It's fine I already saw her," I respo
Atasha's POVWhen I arrived at the hospital, I started doing my duty. I checked my patient's condition and attended a conference.Claps filled the conference room when Dr Clark finished his presentation.Other doctors started leaving so I decided to leave a well but upon standing I felt like the world was spinning.I felt dizzy and almost fall only if Sebastian didn't hold my hand."Are you okay?" he asked while looking at me intently.I looked at him and then nod my head. I was about to take a step but my vision became blurry and in just a snap everything became dark.I can hear voices calling my name but it was unclear."Atasha can you hear me?" I heard Sebastian asking me but I have no energy to respond.After a while, I felt like someone lifts me off the floor and that is the last thing I can remember because after that everything went blank.***I woke with my head pounding. I massaged my temple then sat on the bed while roaming my eyes around the room.After a few seconds, I fig
