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.

ā€œEdward!ā€ 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.

ā€œMr Dumas, good eveni

    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.ā€œThe call is just for safety caution.It’s probably just fogā€ he said in the most calming tone I’ve ever heard from him ā€œHow on earth are you this relaxed?ā€ I asked him surprised ā€œBecause I know it’s nothing, he can’t see ahead doesn’t mean there's something there or at least enough to crash usā€¦ā€ he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.ā€œAnd even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. He’s

    ā€œGood. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last yearā€ he explained ā€œI didn’t go to some fancy college tho, I attended community collegeā€ 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 ā€˜duhā€˜ look when he wasn’t talking ā€œAre you serious?ā€ He asked ā€œYes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?ā€ 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.ā€œFuck!ā€ He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.ā€œTake me back to LAā€ I demanded not wanting to say another word.ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€ ā€œTake me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd Collegeā€ ā€œTha

    ā€œCan I kiss you?ā€ 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.ā€œSorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to workā€ she said almost immediately ā€œIt’s okay Ameera, get to work now ā€ 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. ā€œOh finally!ā€ She rolled her eyes. What?! ā€œLily, are you okay?ā€ I asked ignoring her attitude ā€œYes I am, why do you look so worried?ā€ She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket ā€œWell maybe because you’re banging my door in the middle of the night?ā€ I answered ā€œIt’s technically morning Katherineā€ she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? ā€œThat’s not the point young lady, you scared meā€ I said joining her anyway ā€œI’m sorry but not sorryā€ ā€œWhat does that even mean?ā€ ā€œWell, I didn’t mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for meā€ 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 ā€˜MARRIAGE!ā€™ā€œBecause I already have a fiancĆ©e… that’s her over thereā€ 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.ā€œKatherine baby, please come down hereā€ he said with a cheeky smile. my ears

    Chapter 15I didn’t know how to approach Edward after this morning encounter, truth is I had no plans of getting into a relationship after Andrew. Maybe a few stringless sex here and there. But the fact that he felt it was in his power to dictate for me was the annoying part. I signed the contract af

Who the hell begs someone to take a job, give cold shoulders when the assume the job and turn around to ask about their

    EDWARD’S POV She was running late on her first day, and I was already fuming with anger. Was it the fact that I had to wait for her to resume before leaving for work? Definitely not; as a matter of fact, I didn't have to wait at all because Lily was already in school, and I could have left if I want
