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
Harley's POVSitting back in the car seat and releasing a sigh, I lean backward and say to the driver. "Please take me to Aunt Kayla's mansion", I instruct, looking out of the car window as he roars the car into action and drives away from the school premises.I usually make sure to accompany Alexis to her classroom before going back to the car. There is always another car behind us but I am not bothered about that because I know it is the bodyguards. It makes me feel safe. Antonio is a billionaire but he got shot three weeks ago. This is enough to make me ask if I am safe working with him. Wealthy men have their fair share of life's problems and I don't want to be involved. I am not ready to die.As much as I don't want to be bothered by Antonio's hatred towards me, I am worried that he is going to influence his mother and make her change her mind about keeping me. I am truly sorry for coming to work late and I am damn relieved that Alexis wasn't mad at me. In fact, we chatted all
Antonio's POVI stare coldly at Amelia as she stands with arms akimbo and an angry expression on her face. What the hell is wrong with everyone that they seems smitten with that barbaric girl called Harley?I wonder when Amelia will get it into her fucking head that I am not attracted to her nor am I attracted to any girl. "Those girls are here to seduce you, Anton", she cries out with a painful expression.I shake my head, biting my lips to stop myself from shouting at her. I would never stoop so low to get into an affair with my employee. I have self-control and I can't even remember the last time I thought of sex."Don't you get it?" Her hard gaze softens as I continue to watch her in silence with my back to the swivel chair."So June is also here to seduce me?" I ask."Don't put words into my mouth, Anton. All I am saying is that...""They are dressing seductively just to get me into their bed or what?" I growl in anger, interrupting her. Why is everyone doing something to anno
Harley's POVKayla's suggestion echoes loudly in my ears, making me realize what she is demanding of me. Come live here? With her or with Antonio and Alexis? That is impossible!Antonio hates me, we can't stay under the same roof.I gawk at her in disbelief, wondering why she is bringing this suggestion knowing full well what her son thinks of me. He hates me. But the feeling is mutual. It's just so sad that his mother and daughter are the total opposite of him, they are accommodating and sweet."That way, you won't have to rush out every morning just to come here. Also, I will be traveling tomorrow morning and I want you to be available to take care of Alexis even at night. She dislikes Ann so much and she doesn't want her to bathe her. I can't remember the numbers of quarrels I had to settle between them", she laughs. "Alexis behaves like an adult.""Your son doesn't like me", I remind her. This is the major problem. Coming to live here will be convenient but Antonio is the proble
