View More“I am so late!” Melissa muttered to herself as she sat in the taxi her hands drumming on her laps whilst her eyes were fixed on the road looking out to see whether she would get to her destination anytime soon.
A twenty-five year old girl going to her first ever job interview for a reputed and most famous company in all of Kingsland, the Leighton industries and without any qualifications? That's definitely uncalled-for and worth being early and nervous about but Melissa just had to be late!The Leightons where known to be one of the best businessmen in all of kingsland and Avondale hills.
They had a lot of branches all around the world! They were very powerful people and occupied the top on the social ladder which made them untouchable and indestructible according to the Kingsland gossip and Melissa had applied for a post as a secretary.
She was thrilled when she received the email for an interview but was not so much happy knowing that she was now two minutes late for her interview and was scared out of her mind of what Mr Leighton would do to her for letting him wait for her!She knew not to dare anger him as he was known to be ruthless but her! She just went and made him wait!
With bitterness and worry in her voice she looked at the driver and said, “drive faster I am getting late!”
The taxi driver was getting fade up with the woman!
Can't she keep quiet?!All she has been doing for the last ten minutes is nag about how late she was and how she was going to be fired without even starting the job yet!
He was on the verge of stopping the car and kicking her out so he can have some peace, but he had to swallow his pride and obey the nagging woman lest she refuses to pay him, after all he just spent the whole morning without any customers and he really needed her money.
Through gritted teeth and a fake smile playing on his lips he simply said, “sorry madam I promise we will be there soon just two more minutes.”
Melissa glared at the driver, two minutes? Was this damned driver playing with her? Two minutes was such precious time for the Leightons.They earned about twenty thousand dollars in a second how much would that be in a minute and what more two minutes?!!She would be accused of wasting a whole lot of money by stealing the Leighton's precious time!With a look of displeasure she was about to spit fire on the driver's face and scold him such that he would go deaf and go crying to his mama but she had to bite her tongue! It wasn't her fault after all.They called her thirty minutes ago that she was suppose to attend an interview today which made no sense at all especially since they didn't even give her enough time to shower get dressed and look presentable.Damn these Leightons!! Couldn't they be a little nice and give her at least two hours, she would have appreciated but thirty minutes for a girl was not enough at all!The driver who was glancing at her through the rear view mirror finally parked the car at the front of the building and said in a meek voice, “ma'am we have--”Melissa was quick to throw money at the driver's face practically running out of the taxi not even giving the poor man a chance to finish his sentence nor give her the change.
Well guess it was his lucky day as she gave him double of what he charged her.Melissa ran through the grand foyer of the Leighton building, her heels clicking on the white tiled expensive looking floor that not even she from a poor lower class family would be worthy of cleaning, but even then she was on her way to meet the great CEO Leighton who owns so much money that even a 0.0001% of his fortune would be more than enough to buy her entire neighbour hood including the people living in it! And still have lots of change back!So then why did she become so lucky as to meet the great junior Leighton and on top of it keep him waiting?Well luck was on her side as one of her friends actually worked for Lord Leighton and put in a good word for her but now junior Leighton must be really displeased and angry for keeping him waiting!
She hastily check her watched seeing she was seven minutes late but the moment she pushed open the huge oak double doors to junior Leighton's office without knocking, she lost her balance and collided with a huge wall and both her and the wall collapsed on the floor with her on top.
“Ahh--” her scream of pain got muffled by something warm, moist and soft connecting with her lips as she winced slightly feeling a sprain in her foot.She widened her eyes as she stared deep into captivating Green eyes that looked like the a****n forest.The wall that she collided with was no were near a wall but a handsome hunk with perfect eyes were one can get lost in!
She was enjoying the moment of looking into those eyes that she didn't realise she was actually kissing the stranger on the lips!!And the worst of all this was that the handsome wall I mean stranger had his hand firmly placed on her bottom! Her big bottom!!
Panic filled her up to the very core as she pulled away moving around trying to free herself from him but the more she did the more the stranger tightened his hold on her and squeezed her big bottom!She let out a gasp glaring daggers at the stranger and the zipper that was on her lips burst and with a scorn on her face she spit fire at him saying, “You b*st*rd you chicken how dare you kiss me and on top of it all touch me you pervert! let me go!!”
She wiggled her bottom trying to free herself but as usual the handsome stranger tightened even more and with a pained look he said,
“Stop moving around you are making my life hard!”
A tint of blush appeared on her face as she knew exactly what he meant because she could already feel it!!
She immediately stopped moving around thinking that if she made his life even harder she would be forced to make it soft again and she was not up for that!
I mean she was too innocent for all that! She was just a simple small town girl who came to Kingsland to look for a job and the job she was seeking was by no means a job of making hard lives of people soft!!
The unknown handsome stranger who was non other than junior Leighton, Kaden Black himself moved so that he was lying on top of her and her under him, the only thing that was going through his mind was where on earth such a woman came from and why on earth she was so clumsy that she purposefully bumped into him and on top of it spit fire on him and called him names?
Did she have any idea who he was? He was the powerful billionaire CEO of Leighton industries and no one I mean no one even ever dared to insult him without a death wish but this girl had all the nerves?
He was definitely going to teach her a lesson and make sure she knelt before him and begged.
He got off of her standing up while Melissa remained lying on the floor that had a perfectly comfy and fluffy brown carpet.Well what did you expect?! She was wearing six-inch heels and on top of it she sprained her ankle how was she suppose to get up now?
“Well aren't you going to get up! Or you are enjoying the comfy carpet, one you've never seen before and can't even afford " the handsome stranger said in a gruff voice that made Melissa feel goosebumps on her, the good kind people! The good kind.But it all faded when she felt her heart burn with anger hearing this man call her poor! He didn't necessarily say poor but well he meant it!She was about to get up when she winced in pain and the junior CEO was slightly taken aback knowing that the little girl was hurt.
Well, she was bound to get hurt, after all he was very muscular with a model like figure.
If any person were to bump into him they would definitely get hurt and he was some how pleased that she was at least hurt.
That would teach her a lesson for insulting someone she doesn't even know.Melissa looked around the room and it was not only her and the handsome stranger but two other people too.One of them looked to be an immediate little brother of the handsome stranger since they had the same facial features and green eyes.This one looked to be about her age and the other one looked to be younger than the two maybe in his twenties.
Seeing that neither of the men was willing to help her despite knowing that she was hurt, with a look of disdain she said“Hello can't you guys be gentlemen and help a lady? I just sprained my ankle and you all are acting like statues! Don't you have any humanity?”Seven years later "Celeste!" Melissa screamed on top of her voice and the sound of small foot steps were heard running into the living room. "I swear I'm going to kill you little ---" she let the sentence hung and wobbled towards the living room were celeste was sitting on the couch her face hidden in her father's chest. "What did my baby do now?" Kaden asked in amusement while staring at his wife's big baby bump. She was due in just a week. Four years after their wedding, they had twin boys and now she was pregnant again with baby number four. Not only that but six months after the wedding, brandon finally maned up and asked Leah out and two months later she was pregnant with twins boys. Their relationship was on fast forward because the same day he found out she was pregnant he proposed marriage and a month later they were married. Aiden equally found a girl for himself two years ago but their relationship was on off until last year when she fell pregnant although he didn't
"Oh my God I'm so nervous right now!" Melissa said with a nervous laugh as the hair stylist worked on fixing her hair.It has been six months since she got out of the hospital and she and Kaden were finally getting married.The last six months have been nothing but joy and happiness for both Melissa and Kaden even though they had to struggle with Celeste's constant crying every night but luckily Brandon and Leah, her godparents came to the rescue and acted as her baby sitters including Aiden who was still upset that he wasn't one of the godparent even though they assured they would make him one for their next child.In the last six months, Brandon and Leah's relationship has also grown stronger and anyone looking at them could tell they are in love but sadly neither of them wants to make the first move and admit their feelings.Melissa has tried everything she could to urge Leah to tell him but Every
"Hurry up, places everyone. They will be here any minute!" Veronica urged as everyone scrambled around, putting things in order and making sure everything was perfect for the arrival of the new family members.It's been a month and one week since the incident happened and both mother and baby were getting discharged from the hospital.On that fateful day after the doctor came out of the room, he told them that she was in a critical condition due to loss of blood and needed a blood transfusion immediately.Kaden volunteered to give her blood but sadly, it wasn't a match and worse off the blood bank was empty.Everyone went into a fit of panic searching for blood until they found the perfect match who was non other than Leah.She donated her blood in a heart beat and three weeks later, Melissa woke up from a coma.The doctors didn't let her leave even after she
"Ahhh!" Melissa let out a scream of pain holding her stomach, blood covering her hand."Mel!!" Everyone rushed towards her as Hannah who had just been shot by Leah fell on the floor limp with her eyes wide open."My baby!" Melissa whispered in pain.Kaden looked down and blood was covering one side of the bump while the shorts she was wearing rapidly became wet with blood and what looked like water."Oh no she has been shot and is going into labour!" Aiden said in horror and without thinking twice, Kaden picked her up in his arms, running out of the building with his brothers and Leah following while his father and their men stayed back to make sure Hannah was truly dead."Please save my baby, I don't want to lose her," Melissa whispered again.Sweat mixed with tears trickling down her face,She was in a lot of pain to such an exten
"Let me go you stinking animals!" Melissa said to the men while they dragged her into a large and empty hall-looking room that had about four armed guards moving around on high alert. They had already removed the cloth that was on her mouth and the sac on her head. "I swear I'm going to lose my temper and hit this woman! I don't even know why the boss told us to ungag her. Damn, I hate nagging women," one of the guards complained. "Well, I could make it easier for you if you could just let me go! How dare you even kidnap me! Do you even know who I am!" She yelled at them again and all they did was drag her towards the metallic chair that gracefully sat in the middle of the room. They made her sit on the chair and each one of the guards held her arm making sure she wasn't doing anything stupid. "You all will pay for this, I will make sure you regret doing this to me you
Meanwhile"I'm so excited about this!" Hannah said taking the divorce papers from the table. She flipped through them and the widest grin in history spread across her face, " I will just go take these to court and finalize the divorce, see you guys later, and Kaden make sure you treat Angelica right, she's your wife now and deserves all your love and care," she added giving him a small hug and walking out of the house.Kaden let out a sigh and Angelica just awkwardly stood there not knowing whether to stay or leave."And this woman," Aiden looked at her and she lowered her gaze, "just because he signed those divorce papers doesn't mean he will stay with you. As soon as he finds a way to end all of this, I will personally kick you out!" He threatened and Angelica silently looked on." Don't worry Aiden, she already has a man in her life, she's been forced to do this just like me," Kaden explaine
