THREE YEARS AGO.
"Are you here for the interview? The lady with the glasses and a mole on her cheeks asked.
"Yes " I replied.
"You're next in line, good luck"
The moment I stepped into the office, I wanted to turn and go back.
The man staring at me was very handsome,
His aura enveloped me like air.
He was a sight to behold, pointed nose, tanned skin, beautiful sparkling eyes, he emitted strong charm.
He could make any woman go weak in the knees if he stared at her like this....
The light weight silk suit he wore was slightly buttoned, I could see the outline of his chest.
He was one of those guys that girls dreamt and fantasized about.
He fiddled with his pen, and I stared at those veiny hands.
"Ren or?...
" Ren" I replied.
"Files?
I gave him the files.
" You're looking for a secretary right?
"I'm looking for a wife"
His eyes flickered over every part of my body and my cheeks heated.
He chuckled.
"Why do you want this job?
" I've always wanted this job, I know I'm capable, I'll give my best "
His eyes acessed me again, they were everywhere, mostly on my legs, to my chest, and to my lips.
This was concerning, was this how he stared at every female employer?
"And do you think you're suitable for this job?
'Do you think I don't know that you're eye fucking me?
"Did you say something? He asked
" No" I muttered.
" Good" he grinned, staring at the files.
" I've gone through everything about the company and I'll give my best, just give me a chance, I'll prove my worth"
" Prove your worth in another way" his eyes roamed all over me.
" Well Kingston, screw you, I don't need the Job, and I don't need to prove my worth to you"
With that, I stormed out angrily.
I got home and I could not help but remember all the sleepless night and the research.
Maya visited me, a smile etched on her face.
"You got it right?
"What? I asked
" The job"
" No I didn't"
And as I relayed to her my words to Kingston, she stared at me wide eyed.
" He's Landon Kingston!
"You're joking"
"You know me too much to think so"
" You would have been patient enough to hear him first"
" Are you with your best friend or Kingston?
"You of course" she rolled her eyes.
"I'm never going back there"
Three day later, I got a call from the company
" Kingston would like to see you ma'am "
I could almost imagine his face, and that grin.
He had it on his face when I stormed out.
"I would not like to see him, please pass on that information"
There was no way I was going back there.
"Well, your CV and files are with him, I'll see you" she replied in a calculating tone.
She knew I had no choice about the matter,
What was wrong with me?
Why did I storm out, forgetting my files with Landon fucking King?
I had no choice, I could not get a new job without the files.
so I prepared myself on a journey to recruit my files.
I stepped into the firm, intending to make it snappy.
I walked straight to his office, and there he was dressed in black shirt, blue jeans and the chain over his exposed chest,his handsome face met mine immediately.
I was not going to dilly dally, to stare and wonder about his amazing fashion sense, or how handsome he was.
I cleared my throat.
"I'm here for the files"
"Sit down Ren" he replied
"We need to talk" his eyes
on my face.
" There's nothing to talk about, I just want the files, I'll leave quietly "
" Don't be stubborn Angel " he grinned, and I wanted more than anything to hit him on the head.
" Don't call me that " I glared at him, and he grinned.
I ignored the flutter of emotions racing through me.
" When do you plan on resuming? He asked
"Resuming?
" As my secretary "
" What do you mean?
"I want you as my secretary, you ran off before I could say anything"
"You were going to ask me to....I stopped and he Chuckled..
"If I wanted to sleep with you, I'll marry you and do it every day"
My face flushed.
"I wanted you to show your worth, by presenting your research, you didn't let me speak"
"Cos of the way you were staring at me..."
" I'm not sorry for staring at you, I'm not sorry that my eyes found you attractive" he grinned.
Was he flirting with me?
I kept my face neutral, not revealing the emotions flooding through me.
"Do you like to flirt with every lady you meet? The words were out before I could stop myself.
" I only flirt with my wife like this"
His eyes locked with mine passionately.
"You're looking for a secretary, not a wife" I replied softly, the sound of my own voice unrecognizable.
The feelings rising to my chest were unsettling.
He watched me intently and his full lips curled into a smile.
I should have known that he had plans to include me by his side forever.
The alarm sounded and as I opened my eyes.
Landon was wide awake watching me.
He kissed my cheeks smiling.
"Landon.."
"You're so beautiful" he hovered over me.
"Good morning"
"Good morning my love" I said and he smiled.
"I love you too" he turned away from me,
I stood up, I had another meeting with the board members this morning.
"Do you have to go? Landon raised his eyebrow.
" You don't ever have time for me"
" Landon please"
" You do not have time to play with me, you only care about work.
He was sulking again.
"look at me Kingston"He stared at me with worried cute eyes."Just keep looking" I said keeping our eyes locked.The doctor took the signal and went to Landon's side."I'm done" the doctor said.I broke eye contact with Landon."Thank you very much Doctor""I'll be back to check on Landon Keep an eyes on him." Thank youuu "" I'll take my leave mrs Kingston "I nod and watched as he walked out, I turn to Landon.." That was easy, you see?"He's bad""Very bad""Landon please "" I'm scared " Landon said, I went next to him, gathering him into my hands.I can't see him this way, it's breaking me, I just want him to recover, to be Landon Kingston again.I'll do anything for him.It's so hard and I'm holding on for Landon's Kingston.I'm going to protect him.I hug him tightly."You're going to be fine""You did well, you're a very good boy and I love you Very much" he relaxed in my hold.I tapped his back gently." I'll always be by your side, so recover quickly for my sake, you can d
"Angel....Are you okay? Landon asked.I was not okay, I was thinking about how he called me Angel all the time before the accident."Why aren't you in bed yet?" You took so long, I was waiting for you" he said." Landon "" I miss you all the time, it's not my fault "" I know" I replied placing my hands on his fore head." Do you feel better now?

Very fine "" Your head ?"you touched my fore head, it doesn't hurt anymore "" Uh really"" Yess "" Let's go to bed Landon "* * * * * *" You're wasting your Time" Nina said as I walked into the kitchen."I'm not wasting my time trying to figure out a way to kick you out""Landon won't let you""He's the only reason why you're still here"Landon was the only one holding me back from kicking them out."The only thing you can do now us transfer everything to Gareth's name, in the future
I went back home.If anything happened to Landon Kingston, I would not be able to forgive myself.All I could do was beg the universe not to take Landon from me.I can't live without him.I should have stopped him.Why didn't I try be selfish?Why didn't I hold him back.I fell to the ground, gathering my knees in agony, why did he do this to me?Tears streamed from my eyes endlessly."Ma'am, ma'am, are you alright?Tia rushed to me.I Shaked my head." Landon.... "" Ma'am, what happened?"Landon.. accident""He..he got into an accident" I stammared."Oh ma'am" she too Could not hold the tears.I'm going to make Landon pay the moment he opened his eyes."

A year Ago."Angel" he grinned."Landon""Do you want me to go?" You're late already " He smiled." Tell me not to go, I'll abandon everything and stay with you " I was tempted to say it, to ask him to stay.He was going on a business trip to New York for five days."Tell me not to go baby and I won't" he wrapped his hands around my waist, staring into my eyes."What do you want? He asked." Come back once you're done, come back as quickly as you can"" Anything for you, Angel"" On the fifth day I'll be here just for you"" Landon you're late" I tugged his shirt lightly.He smiled." I know, I just can't get enough of your beautiful face"" We'll talk about that when you get back"" And we'll talk about you doing whatever I want"" Whatever you want Landon"" I won't pull out, I'm telling you" He grinned." Landon..."" Okay, okay, I'm going" he moved his hands from my waist." I love you Ren"" I love you too" I replied, tracing my hands over his face." Do you really want me to

"" I'm not okay, my head still hurts badly, I can't move, my body hurts "" Landon "" I'm not lying, it hurts "" Your fever has gone down "" No it hasn't, I'm still very sick "" You want me to spend more time with you, that's it right?"Yes" he replied."Well no""I...""Landon, I'll be back"He pouts."I promise to be back early, I'll do whatever you want""Do you love me? Tell me you love me""I love you Landon, I love you very much, I'll be back home early"Problem solved, he smiled, he was pleased."Should we keep going, or you would rather go back home to Landon? Gray stared at me thoughtfully...The meeting however was with Gray Monticello." Uhm..."" We could wrap this up, whatever you say "" I was not thinking about Landon "" Well of course "He smiled, his eyes sparkling as he took in the wine of glass."Landon is very lucky" he dropped the glass, his
