My decision to leave Lily in the care of that woman wasn’t easy but I knew I had to. I had no option. I I couldn’t bring her with me to London on such a short notice.

“Edward!” Lucas Dumas, a rich arrogant business minded son of a bitch. He has always been a major investor at Howard empire since the time of my father. I wonder why he wants to pull out now. This is definitely not a good time to lose any cash, not now that my father seemed to have increased pressure on me.

“Mr Dumas, good evening” I greeted stretching my hand towards him

“You’re late” he said

“I flew as soon as I could” I responded not wanting him to keep pestering me about being late. It’s just thirty minutes.

“Considering you had to come from New York, I will let it go this one time” he said, raising a glass of wine.

“That is nice of you Mr Dumas” I responded, taking a sip of the wine in front of me.

“So how is business Edward” he asked, with a sly smile.

“You said to discuss your reasons for wanting to pull out i

    I immediately strapped in my seatbelt as instructed and looked up at Edward. I guess I was expecting some sort of motivational or reassuring speech, but doesn’t a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesn’t have one.My luck had to be this bad? First time on a private jet and it was going to crash? Edward was indifferent though, he just there across me staring me with a questioning look.I already gave up any hope of getting any word from him until he spoke calmly.“The call is just for safety caution.It’s probably just fog” he said in the most calming tone I’ve ever heard from him “How on earth are you this relaxed?” I asked him surprised “Because I know it’s nothing, he can’t see ahead doesn’t mean there's something there or at least enough to crash us…” he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.“And even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. He’s

    “Good. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last year” he explained “I didn’t go to some fancy college tho, I attended community college” Edward was beyond shocked , he stared at me like he was waiting for me to say it was a joke.I just gave him a ‘duh‘ look when he wasn’t talking “Are you serious?” He asked “Yes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?” I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasn’t easy to get my associate degree, I struggled to get across and graduate, took several loans despite the low tuition. I was still in on student loan and one dick head just sat there looking horrified just because he was born into a silver spoon.“Fuck!” He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.“Take me back to LA” I demanded not wanting to say another word.“What do you mean?” “Take me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd College” “Tha

    “Can I kiss you?” My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldn’t step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his right breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? It’s was so working!Comfortably getting lost in his icy blue eyes, I let him come close. From such proximity all I could say is that God definitely cheated because how could one man be this perfect? His perfect looking lips were seconds away from mine and I couldn’t wait to get a taste. Just like the night I first met him. I could literally feel his lips touching mine when the door suddenly bursts open, fuck!!I wished I could scream at the cockblock, a girl I remember meeting on my first day here, Ama or whatever she said her name was.“Sorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to work” she said almost immediately “It’s okay Ameera, get to work now ” Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to th

    CHAPTER 18Katherine’s pov A knock at my door woke me up but I was too tired to even raise a finger so I lay still but the knock persisted, followed by Lily’s tiny voice calling out to me. I checked the bedside clock and it was 4:45, what could be the problem? Why is Lily up at this hour? I rushed to open the door immediately. “Oh finally!” She rolled her eyes. What?! “Lily, are you okay?” I asked ignoring her attitude “Yes I am, why do you look so worried?” She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket “Well maybe because you’re banging my door in the middle of the night?” I answered “It’s technically morning Katherine” she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? “That’s not the point young lady, you scared me” I said joining her anyway “I’m sorry but not sorry” “What does that even mean?” “Well, I didn’t mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for me” she explain

    Chapter 17The tension in the air was already suffocating, I kept wondering why a man he just acknowledged as dad would be so cold towards him. The coldness and judgment in his eyes as he seized me up didn’t surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldn’t be the first person to assume I was a whore at first glance especially at the club house, I always found it amusing how being poor was enough reason to be seen in that light. The thought of leaving to my room to give them some privacy crossed my mind but that would only make the grumpy man feel he was right or worsen the whole issue so instead I sat quietly looking everywhere but at them until ‘MARRIAGE!’“Because I already have a fiancée… that’s her over there” My head moved at an unhealthy speed towards the Howards only to realize that Edward was pointing in my direction. I looked behind me for a second wondering if there was an invisible person there.“Katherine baby, please come down here” he said with a cheeky smile. my ears
