CHAPTER 1

ANNIKA’S POV

You have got to be kidding me!

It’s Saturday, why do I have to go to his house even on a Saturday?

I grumbled to myself, picking up my coat. I tied my hair into a messy bun, grabbed my car keys, and stepped out of my apartment.

The drive to my boss’s house was no less than forty minutes. He made sure I bought this apartment so that he could call me at any time and I could get to him on time.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any issues with my boss. Except for the fact that he is annoying, mean, inconsiderate, grumpy, fucking sexy, hot, and incredibly seductive.

His name is Isaiah Volkov, the country’s most eligible bachelor, the country's most sexy single dad, and most of all, the CEO of KOV group. The world's top five best hospitality companies.

Spent all his youth building a name for himself. Has five hotels all over the country and four more international. Has seven world-class restaurants in the country and ten more international.

He is not just a billionaire; he is fucking loaded. His father started the business with just one hotel but the moment Isaiah Volkov took over, he laid a foundation so grand that no one dared question him and because of his perfection, no one wants to be by his side, I mean as a secretary.

“You’re fired!” is his favorite word.

How did I manage to stick around as his secretary, you ask?

Well, I am the only one who can handle that shitty attitude of his.

“Aunt Nik!” Sophie’s cute little voice filled the living room as I stepped in. The scent of wood and jasmine filled the air, his favorite scent.

Sophie, a rough ponytail danced on her head, her blue eyes filled with so much life, dressed in a pink dress, she ran into my arms.

Sophie is his daughter and a girl I have grown to love and another reason I tolerate Isaiah.

“Hey, princess.” I bent over, scooping her into my arms, she giggled into my neck, her arms wrapped around me. “Who did this to your hair? This is evil.” I muffled.

She slammed her palm over her head, “He never gets it right, even the pancakes too, no one gets it right but you.” She muffled.

 I placed her on the couch and sat next to her, “Turn around, let’s make you into the princess that you are and I’ll make you some pancakes and I'll go see your dad, cool?” I asked.

“Perfect, you’re the best, Aunt Annika.” She giggled.

I tied her hair properly, helped make pancakes after having a quick chat with the maids who stood next to me, watching how I made the pancakes.

“I’ll go check on your dad now, Sophy, I’ll be back.” I kissed her forehead and ran up the stairs.

You know, I have been going up to his office, to his room for the last five years that I have been working for him but today was the first day I wished I had never gone up to his room.

“Mr. Isaiah, I’m here,” I announced at the door.

Silence.

“Mr. Volkov?” I called again.

Silence.

I placed my hands on the doorknob and yanked it open, it was empty.

Maybe he is in his office.

I turned to leave when I caught sight of the file he wanted me to have. The reason he called me over.

I stepped in and picked up the file.

Out of duty I began going through it right there.

I should have left.

But I didn’t.

I heard the door creak open and I turned. “Hey boss, I have the file and there seems to be a typo in…...”

Holy fucking shit!

He …he is naked.

I always knew he was ripped but…

Guys, Isaiah is fucking ripped.

His abs looked so defined, his shoulders so wet and broad, his hair so wet and dripping and his deep blue eyes, so intoxicatingly wet and I should have kept my eyes up…..I should have fucking kept my eyes up.

Is that seven inches?

Or eight?

My guts are telling me that his dick was about 10 inches long, give or take…and oh my heavens, they were big.

Is having a dick that big legal? Is it even medically possible?

“Nik?” His deep voice sounded like a rumble across the room, sending shivers down my spine, making the entrance wet.

“Nik?” The voice came again, deeper and lower.

Oh my…..I can’t stop looking.

Someone please stops me from staring at my boss’s ten inches dick.

“Annika Sultan!” He grunted.

Shit.

“Ye…yes…yes…yes sir.” I stuttered, eyes flickering, my cheeks burning from embarrassment and lust and oh fuck me, he looks frustrated.

“Please get out.” He muffled, his fingers running through his hair, his eyes not leaving mine.

My throat bobbed like a sexually starved bitch because I am sexually starved.

I turned around, heading towards the door, “Uhm, sir…you ..”

“Annika, please leave.” He begged.

“Okay.” I turned again, rushing towards the door when I remembered the file that fell from my hands when I saw him naked.

By the way, he is still shamelessly standing naked.

“For fuck sake, Annika, get out.”

“I’m leaving, you don’t have to yell.” I snapped back, “It’s not my fault that you came out naked, maybe you should have been thoughtful enough to wear a robe or something. Don’t frown at me.”

His brows arched, eyes widened like he could not believe I had just scolded him for walking naked in his own room.

What the hell am I saying?

Ugh.

He grabbed his towel and wrapped it around his waist, “Need I remind you that this is my room, in my house and you are my secretary who doesn’t have the right to walk into my room without permission, I could sue you for breaking and entry and also violation of privacy.” He snapped, eye glaring fire at me.

I walked over to the stool and grabbed his glasses, handing them over to him because of course, he can’t see without them.

“Uhm, this is all your fault, today is Saturday, weekend, you disturbed my peaceful weekend.” I fired, hands on my waist, trying so hard not to look below his waist.

He rolled his eyes because of course, he wouldn’t quit, “Oh please, Nik, what peace do you enjoy on a weekend, all you do is lie on your couch like you don’t have a life.” He sneered.

Fuck..I don’t have a comeback for that one.

“And what the hell do you mean by violation of privacy? I did no such thing.” I flickered my eyes.

“Annika, you are still standing in my room.” He muffled.

I turned to leave, rushing towards the door but I halted again and turned to him, “You’re not going to fire me, are you? I know …uhm, well...I am your best employee, you can’t find anyone like me….you love me, right, Mr. Volkov.” I pouted, fingers crossed. 

“GET. OUT ANNIKA SULTAN!”

    CHAPTER 129ANNIKAThe sound of Mirabel’s laughter filled the empty dark room after the call. She laughed so hard, clutching her belly. Her eyes grew wet but she didn’t stop.The sound got blurred out and the only thing that played in my head over and over were the words that came out of my fiancé’s mouth.He was abandoning me.I have never actually placed myself on the same scale with Sophie before, because she is his daughter, she will always be his little girl but still…it hurts…it hurt so much.“What were you expecting?” She asked, “Did you think he was going to choose you? Risking his daughter?”My fist clenched around my dress.“Don’t you get it? Sophie is the bane of our existence, as long as she is alive, Isaiah will never love anyone else. Just like how he abandoned me, he just abandoned you. This is what you get.”“Stop…talking.” I sneered. Sophie was awake, she could hear everything.“Stop running your mouth.” She hissed.She rolled her eyes, “You never learn.” She grumble

    CHAPTER 128ANNIKABeads of sweat plastered over my forehead as my mind played Mirabel’s conversation, over and over in my head.Did I hear her right?Did my ear play jokes on me?She is going to kill me? And her daughter? After collecting that huge money from Isaiah?The more I recalled, the more absurd it sounded. Sophie is her daughter, a child she bore out of her, how can she harbor such thoughts towards her own daughter?“Mummy?” Sophie’s low voice crept up my skin. She had been glued to me the entire time. Her face buried into my dress, clinging to me.“Yes, baby.” I muffled.“Are we going to be okay?” She asked, her eyes found mine. Her eyelids filled with tears.I wanted to tell her that we would be okay, that Daddy was coming to save us but the words didn’t come out of my mouth, no matter how much I wanted to assure her, I couldn’t find the words.My palms were sweaty, my heart kept thumping hard, my head hurt, and I was scared.I am so scared.“Is Daddy going to come save us

    Chapter 127 ISAIAH My fist clenched around the wheel, eyes locked on the locked gate in front of me. My legs pulsed around the accelerator.“Sir…Sir!” the guy called out, I understand why Dante refused to see me, hell, I do not blame him for not wanting to speak to me but I did not come all this way, only to turn back without getting the help I came for. Have it your way, Dante. I hit the accelerator and drove right through the gate, bursting it open. The other guys pulled out their guns, aiming at my car but not a single one of them pulled the trigger, their eyes were glued to the car, guards up but not a single shot was fired. My car halted in front of a group of people gathered at the center of the driveway. Before my car, stood a man, late thirties, sleeves rolled up, gun in his hands, his broad sculpted back turned to me. In front of him, were two guys, kneeling, broken teeth, bleeding head. Barely able to stand on their own. It wasn’t something unexpected. It’s Dante afte

    CHAPTER 126 ISAIAHThe sound of my mother and mother-in-law whimpering, felt like my heart was being pierced with a kitchen knife, sharp an deliberate. I wish to comfort them but how do I comfort them when my hands are trembling, when I also need comfort and assurance that my wife and my daughter would be okay?The doorbell rang, Anna rushed over to answer it, “Right this way.” I heard her say.In my living room stood the sae detectives who had handled Annika’s accident. Their eyes filled with guilt, “Good evening, Mr Volkov.” He greeted.I glared at him, “Where is my wife and daughter----and Sister?”“Every cop has been mobilized, everyone is searching for your wife, sister and daughter, sir. We just came from the cell where Jake was held.” He explained.“How did he escape?” I sneered.The thought of him being with Annika, after everything he did to her, made my blood boil. What if he tortures her? What if he lays his hands on her….how on earth did he even know where she was? How d

    Chapter 125 ANNIKA My eyes slowly unfurled, the ringing sound of my head spread through, forcing me to slowly slam my eyes shut for a moment before opening again. The room was dark, and dusty, my eyes scanned for a moment. It looked like an abandoned house, old if I must add. My heart thumped fast, faster than it should. Sophie! I turned around, panicking when I realized she was lying next to me, her hands tied together and her body on my white wedding dress which was now covered in dirt. My hands were tied behind me. I struggled, trying to pull away but I couldn’t. I bent over, leaning to check on Sophie, her soft breathing sound, felt like a cold shower on a very hot day. A deep breath of relief washed over me, I leaned over something behind me, as everything replayed. Who was the driver? He didn't look like the man who was supposed to drive us to the venue, then, does that mean, someone snuck into the hotel? Then where is the driver? Who is the person? What do they want? Mi

    Chapter 124 MIRABEL “Who are you?” His voice filled the telephone over my ears. His eyes dark as they settled on me. He lifted his brows, hands on his jaw. “Do not make me ask again.” “The person who is going to get you out of here.” I said to him. His lips curled into a mocking smile, “Beat it. I have no business with you.” he hissed, dragging his finger through his hair. “Even if I tell you, Annika is getting married to the man I am sure she swore to you she had no feelings for?” I mocked. His eyes lit up, brows arched, confusion spread all over his face. Tye man sitting in front of me, separated by a see through glass, full hair, full beard, is Annika’s ex. After I managed to convince Lyon, that Isaiah could give me the money he wants, he allowed me use whatever I needed while providing nothing aside from the guy he kept to watch my every move. “The moment you run, he puts a bullet in your head.” he sneered. Lyon never makes issue an empty threat. “I have no business with
