“What do you mean by that?”

I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I happily came back to work today after one week away. I happily walked to my workstation to continue my normal work only to find that I had been logged out of my work system.

Not just that but all my physical logs were gone from my table. I thought something happened while I was away. I thought they cleaned up and messed with my stuff and I went to the people responsible for cleaning and they told me they didn’t do anything.

Since I was early, I sat and waited for my work team to arrive only for them to stare at me as if they had seen a ghost and now, I was standing in front of my director. He just said the craziest thing ever.

“You have been pulled out of the research. You will be paid for all your work so far but that’s about it.”

His words rang in my ears over and over again but I just couldn’t bring myself to believe that I heard him right. Pulled out? Paid off? Those are words that I never thought

    DanielleI woke up to the most impossible thing ever. Yeah, it should have been impossible and that's why it took me a moment to remember where I was, whose face was so close to mine that I could feel his breath fanning my face, and whose eyes I was staring into. Even after realizing, I couldn't look away from his captivating hazel eyes. Damn, why did he have to have evil yet pretty eyes?I was so mesmerized by his eyes that for a moment, all I could do was stare at those hazel eyes without blinking, moving or trying to break away. I felt trapped and enchanted and I couldn't blame myself for not looking away. Who could? Also, it didn't help that he didn't look away either so it felt like we were having a stare off.I realized something else some heart beats later. He had his hand on my face. Not only had his hands but he was cradling my face and I don't know if he was aware or not but his fingers were caressing my face softly. A softness that I could have sworn Andres didn't have.We

    Andres “Beautiful” My wind grunted from within and I nodded in agreement. She has to be the prettiest woman I have had the honour of meeting and I have met a lot of pretty work throughout my life. There’s just no putting into words how incredibly beautiful she is and on top of being extremely intelligent. I have known her for years now though we haven’t been very close due to a past event that I am not so proud of. Still, not being close didn’t mean I didn’t know about her and all the cool things that she could do. One of which was something that I really needed. Not for me but for Joan. I did my research before I set my eyes on her and I know she just what I needed. Heck, not just me. She is what many people needed and if they don’t know that then it’s their loss. Danielle is like the one woman who could tick all the boxes any man would ever want yet that bastard had the audacity to reject and humiliate her. I hope for his sake that he never thinks of coming back for her beca

    Andres “Who’s here?” I asked because I wanted to be sure that I didn’t hear her wrong when she said it the first time. I tucked Joan into her bed and turned to the nanny who had followed us upstairs when we arrived. I called her over because I couldn’t bring Joan with me on my trip because the last time I tried it, she had a really hard time and it took a long time for her to recover after we returned. I tried hiring someone else since I gave the nanny time off to take care of her son but no one else wanted to watch her. I had no choice but to call her. “Ms. Danielle.” The nanny announced again. I laughed in disbelief. I genuinely didn’t expect her to be back so soon. I purpose didn’t try to reach out for her because I knew I won’t be around long enough to actually sit her down and talk to her. that’s why I wanted to wait until I return from my trip to see her. By then, I would have all the time in the world to actually pursue her until she gives in to what I want. No, con

    Danielle “That will be so great! She hasn’t stopped talking about you and asking her daddy when you will come visit her again. Even before they left the house earlier, she asked if you were going to come to them.” I smiled at her words. Now I didn’t want to take back what I said about watching her. “She did, didn’t she? I missed her too and wanted to see her and that’s why I came here. Do you know when they will be back?” I asked her. “Yes, in about an hour or two. Their playdate usually takes two to three hours and they left over an hour ago.” I nodded in understanding. “Should I go and show you your room? It’s already cleaned up for you.” I wanted to say no but on second thought, I nodded and she led the way. I kept telling myself that I just wanted to see and I had no plans to actually stay here with him. No plans to move out of my pack for him and no plans to actually take him up on his offer no matter how good it might be but I knew I was already wavering. Before, I

    Danielle“Oh, hey.” I said when the person who opened the door for me when I knocked at Andres' front door a few hours after my call with Martha ended turned out to be the same nanny Andres had banished two days ago. My shock when I saw her standing there and all smiles didn’t go unnoticed by her.I couldn’t believe I was seeing her again when I thought we probably would never cross part ever again. I didn’t expect her to still be at Andres house after he gave her only twenty- four house to leave the pack with her family.“Please come in.”I didn’t even realize I was still standing outside and looking at her in shock until she spoke. I managed to get over myself and walked into the house. I turned back to her as soon as she closed the door.“What happened?” I asked her. I wanted to know what happened and why she was back working for him.“I don’t know what you did but you helped me.” I stared at her in both confusion and more shock.“I helped you? How? I didn’t do anything.” I to

    Danielle Okay, hiding her away doesn’t make him a bad father. One thing is sure, he loves his baby and I saw it two days ago. The way he rushed home and the way his daughter reacted to him too. Kids don’t fake feelings. “He doesn’t have a child!” Martha said again. I contemplated whether I should tell her or not and in the end, I decided to just out with it! It’s not like having a child is a bad thing. “I am not even surprised that you don’t know about his daughter but he has a child! She is about six or seven years old,” I told Martha. “I know he has a kid but she isn’t his biological daughter! Her name is Joan and she is his sister’s kid,” I blinked in confusion. I knew Andres’s twin sister before she tragically passed away. There’s no way she had a baby and I had no idea. Plus, his sister died eight years ago along with his other family members. It has been years but I still remember when the news came out. It had been the most tragic thing to ever happen to a man a
