Antonio's POV"Don't fu***ng touch me", I hear Alexis's shrill cry the moment I enter the mansion. Laughter follows and I know instantly that it is Brandon that is laughing. I shake my head, wondering why Brandon is always unserious and finds everything hilarious."I say don't touch me", she cries again. I come into view and see her trying to get away from Ann as she shifts her weight on the armchair. Ann follows, determined to carry her up but Alexis is ready to frustrate the poor woman.Stupid Bradon is laughing his ass off at the drama. Ann stands up straight and throws him a cold glare making his laughing face vanish."This is not funny", Ann comments, with a hint of frustration in her voice."I know", Brandon agrees and smile sheepishly.Alexis is the first to see me and she screams. "Daddy."Brandon and Anna turn to see me. I stroll to where they are all seated, glaring at Brandon for not scolding Alexis. She is always rude to Ann and I have tried to stop her all to no avail. I
Harley's POVI laugh heartily as we drive in the car after Chelsea assured me about my love life and the bad things she kept saying about Jim. She never liked him, she never hide that from me but I was in love, blindly. I am laughing because I don't see myself getting into another relationship anytime soon. My break up with Jim isn't up to a month yet and it is too soon to get into another messy relationship. Besides, I am not ready. I need to get my life back together before anything else. Also, I feel all men are assholes, except Trevor, Chelsea's boyfriend, and my father. The rest are jerks. They don't deserve pity. They are nothing but assholes.My tone and demeanor changed after I tell her "never"Silence falls as we drive on. We are going to her aunt's house and I begin to think of Jim again. It is hard getting him out of my life and my mind. It is quite hard. Harder than I thought it would be. Sometimes, I cry when I find it difficult to sleep. Sometimes, I feel like going a
Antonio's POVI smile at Stanley in satisfaction for a job well done before glancing at the address scribbled on the sheet of paper in my hands with a proud smirk. Stanley took a lot of time and kept me waiting because I gave him two jobs at a time but it was worth the wait.I can't believe Harley Davidson, the only crazy woman on earth who is proud and poor, is living in a slum and a shabby home like this. Stanley did not only get the address, but he also provided me with a clear picture of the building.I am not surprised that her poor status is up to this level. Yet she is arrogant and this is what amazes me the most. She ought to be submissive. I thought that was what she was going to do eventually after she left my office that morning without being interviewed. I was thinking she would come back the next morning to beg me but she didn't. I don't need anything from her, just a simple apology for what she did to me. That apology means a lot to me, it will heal my bruised ego but
Harley's POVI blink severally to be sure I am seeing clearly. The man before me is no other than the arrogant man that has been frustrating my life, showing up in every single place I go to in search of a job. What the hell is he doing here again of all places? Has he been monitoring my movement? Has he been following me around like a stalker? The moment he grabs the file I was holding out for him from my hand, it pulls me out of my daze and I watch him with folded arms. I already have this job and there is nothing he is going to do this time to make me lose it. The ma'am likes me and I have done my day 1 job already. I am about to go home since Alexis's father is nowhere to be found.Aunt Kayla had asked me to wait for him so she could introduce us to each other but after wating for two hours without seeing him, she asked me to go. I didn't tell grandma I was going to work and I know she would be dead worried about me. It's 5 pm already and I can't wait to get home and tell her I
Harley's POVAntonio's icy glare pierces deep into me like a dagger, making me conscious of what I have done, putting me in this circumstance. I am too ashamed to face Aunt Kayla.I have no idea what she will think of what I have done to her son. I am not to blame for the first event but the last thing I did to him was uncalled for. I blame myself for it."Never!" He spat on my face and walk past me.Aunt Kayla watches him go with confusion skating all over her face. She moves to stand in front of me, waiting for an explanation."You two know each other?" She demands and I nod. "How?"I sigh, facepalming myself. "I'm sorry, ma but I have to go.""What?" She exclaims with wide eyes and a flash of disappointment. "You are going nowhere until you tell me what is between you two."I can't escape explaining what happened between Antonio and me to this woman before me, even though I am sure I will definitely lose this job after that. I totally forgot the arrogant man I had a problem with is
Antonio's POV"Daddy?" Alexis shrieks in excitement the moment I enter the house, seething in anger for bumping into that crazy woman again. Why the hell will she be the one mom will employ of all the nurses on earth? Where the hell did they even meet each other? I can never allow her to touch me or my child. I will never allow her to enter here again. I don't want her.A frown touches my lips when I notice Alexis limping without any help. She doesn't even walk at all because of the heaviness of the bandage on her leg. Looking at it closely, I notice the bandage has been changed to a lighter one and she is excited to be walking again."Daddy", she says again and hugs my legs when she is close enough. I have a lot of questions in my mind to ask her but I don't even know if it is a good idea to bring up that girl's issue.I puff out the air I didn't know I was holding in before squatting to Alexis's height and ruffling her hair into a messy bun."How is my princess doing today?" I de
Harley's POVI flicker my eyes open, staying still on the bed and trying to recall where I am and how long I have been sleeping. I can't believe I had a good night's sleep today.When I remember I am no longer jobless and I have a job that I need to resume by 7 am so I can take Alexis to school, I scramble out of bed and rush to the bathroom to take my bath. "Shit!" I curse at intervals as I peel my clothes off in a hurry. I can't believe I am late on my second day at work, Antonio will use this against me now. I just hope he has gone to work already.Within minutes, I am done taking my bath and I hurry out with speed. I have never taken a bath this fast. I throw my closet open and pick up the first set of cloth my hands land on. I move to the dresser and rub the lotion on my body quickly before getting my underwear out to wear it. As soon as I am done doing that, I wear the cloth. It is a short blue gown with black sandals. I don't have time to go through the closet for something b
Antonio's POVI woke up late today because I was tossing in bed last night till it was way past midnight. My mind was occupied initially with the thoughts of Harley Davidson being my personal nurse and my daughter's caregiver. I kept wondering if she is the right person for my daughter and if Alexis won't be influenced negatively.I really do not know about Harley and I asked my private investigator to find out who she is because I wanted to find a way to deal with her. Now, I feel that what I have gotten isn't enough and I need more to know who she really is and if she is safe for my daughter.After reaching that conclusion, I began to think about the meeting with Stanley today and what he is going to discover about the shooting in the club. There is a high probability that Xavier is behind this but I am beginning to have my doubts since I haven't seen him. I am damn curious to know what Stanley has found out and I had to refrain myself from calling him last night to know who shot
