Cesar and Elyon sat in their favorite restaurant having lunch. Everyone at Sandoval Corporation had noticed this closeness between their boss and his personal assistant and there were rumors that the two of them were having an affair. It had gotten to Elyon but they dared not let it get to the boss.
Cesar was a wonderful boss and very friendly to his employees but he hated them making assumptions about him so they tried never to get on his bad side.
"I'd like for us to pick up your daughter from school again." Cesar informed Elyon.
"Why?". She asked.
"Because I feel like it?". He arched a brow.
"You can't do this Cesar." She sighed and shook her head.
"Why not?". He frowned. "Give me a reason."
"I don't want Miesa to get used to you." She said. "Children's hearts get broken quite easily."
"Are you saying that I'll break her heart?". He sounded hurt.
"You'll get bored of her." She said. "I'm her mother so I know what's best for her."
"I happen to like her." He retorted. "And I don't like many people."
"She's not a toy that you can play with and then drop when you feel like it Cesar." She argued. "Children tend to get attached quickly to people they like."
"Why are you being so difficult about this?". He rolled his eyes. "It's not like I promised to take her to Disneyland and I'm breaking said promise. I just want to see her again."
Elyon sighed and said nothing. She didn't want to argue with him.
“I know you told me her father is dead but what was his name?”. He questioned.
“this is the perfect time to tell him you dimwit!”. Her subconscious said.
“Hey!". Her inner goddess chided. "I don’t appreciate that tone of voice.”
Elyon stared at him wondering why he wasn’t letting it drop. “Why are we suddenly talking about my daughter?”. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Let's talk about something else."
"This happens to be the only topic I wish to talk about." He smirked.
"Then I don't wish to take part in it." Elyon said with a note of finality.
"Is he really a such a soft spot that you don't want to talk about him?". Cesar questioned after a minute. "I mean, a problem shared is a problem solved."
"He wasn't a problem. He wasn't even the man I saw myself having a child with." She snapped. "It just happened. Now drop it."
"Attraction only occurs when you happen to like someone even if just a little bit." Cesar told her.
"Should I call you Dr Sandoval now?". She smiled mockingly.
Cesar rolled his eyes. "Take advice from someone who knows what he's talking about."
"Then you liked all your conquests just a little bit hence the attraction eh?". She asked.
"I sleep with women I can stand." He said. "But that is not the case here with you."
"Did you perhaps take something you're not supposed to this morning sir?". Elyon arched a brow. "You're acting very weird."
"I'm intrigued by the mystery surrounding you Ellie love." He grinned. "Sue me."
"Love?”. She choked out, her eyes wide.
Cesar arched an eyebrow amused. “Out of everything I said.. that’s all you heard?”. His voice dripped with sarcasm. "You never cease to amaze me."
Ellie tried not to blush but failed. “You’ve never added an endearment to my name before so what did you expect?”. She tried to sound annoyed but didn’t quite get the effect she was going for. She didn't want him to think that she liked the endearment.
“Then I’ll call you Ellie love from now on.” He grinned at her mischievously.
“Please don’t." She looked appalled. "I’d rather not let the rumor mongers pick it up too.”
"Rumor mongers?".
Elyon sighed through her nose. "Forget it."
"You've piqued my interest. Talk." He ordered. "My employees talk bad about me behind my back?".
"No. They always have wonderful things to say about you." She replied. "I'm not a snitch."
"You just snitched."
"I didn't call names."
"But you will."
"Is that a challenge?". She demanded.
Cesar let out a masculine sigh and chuckled lowly. "Impressive diversion Miss Devane but it's not working." He told her. "We're talking about you."
"His name was Raul." She said snippily. "Happy?".
"You thought that up." He accused.
Elyon groaned and threw her hands up in frustration. There was nothing else she could do except leave.
"I'm done amusing you Cesar." She grabbed her bag. "I won't be used for your weird entertainment." She stood up.
"Where are you going?". He asked. "You've barely touched your food."
"Whose fault is that?". She hissed and walked away.
Cesar got outside and caught Elyon just in time as she was about to hail a cab and rushed over to meet her.
"What?". She snapped.
"I'm sorry for prying." He apologized. "I won't do it again."
Elyon pursed her lips and folded her arms. "I don't believe you."
"Just take my word for it." He said.
"Fine." She huffed.
"I'll take you." He took her hand and led her to his car without giving her a choice.
"Bossy much?". She asked as she got into the car.
Cesar grinned, winked her at her and shut the door then rounded the hood and got in behind the wheel, started the car and drove off.
Ten minutes later Cesar saw Elyon talking to a beautiful little girl and got out of the car.
He noticed that the girl frowned the way he did and smiled the way he did but it couldn’t be right?.
Maybe he was just imagining things.
”Oh my God it’s Cesari Sandoval!.” Miesa screamed ignoring her mother and ran to meet Cesar. "Oh my God!." She breathed in excitement.
"Okay…he was really imagining things". Cesar thought as he smiled at the little girl. "Hello Miesa.”
”Mommy he knows my name!”. Miesa squealed and hugged herself. "Can i…can I hug you?." She looked at him hopefully.
”Sure." Cesar nodded. What harm could a hug from an adorable little girl like her do?.
When Miesa hugged him,he felt kind of strange but quickly brushed it off.
”I’m a big big fan of yours." Miesa told him looking enthusiastic. "I watch every soap opera you star in but the one I like…no love best is Fiona!.”
”Really?". Cesar looked at Elyon. "You let your daughter watch Fiona when you don’t?”. He tutted, shaking his head. "Not cool Ellie."
”No of course not." Elyon shook her head.
”I watch it when she’s not there.” Miesa told him smiling impishly making Cesar laugh. "Can I um..get an autograph please?". She held out a book.
”Of course sweetheart." Cesar smiled at her,took out his pen and scribbled his signature on the book.
”Thank you." Miesa hugged her book to her chest. "Are you driving us back?”.
”Uh.. we’ll…” Elyon began.
“Yes". Cesar cut in.
”I’ll sit in front.” Miesa declared.
”You’re not six yet Mimi.” Elyon reminded her.
”Do you mind sir?". She fluttered her eyelashes at him.
”No I don’t sweetheart.” Cesar grinned and opened the passenger door for her.
She got into the car and quickly fastened her seatbelt then Cesar closed the door.
”She’s so cute.” Cesar remarked. "You did good Ellie.” He patted her cheek then he rounded the hood and got into the car.
“You won’t think so when I tell you the truth.” Ellie thought and got into the back and Cesar drove off.
”Did Fiona and Marco get back together?”. Miesa asked him.
”Yes her father finally agreed." Cesar said. "After Marco saved his life.”
”Knew it!”. She beamed.
”But you should really stop watching it." Cesar told her. "It’s not for cute little girls like you.”
”But I love it.” Miesa protested.
”I know you do but you’re too young for that.”
”Kay". She agreed grudgingly. "I’ll stop watching it if you keep coming to pick me from school?”.
”Mimi.." Elyon chided from the back.
”Do you promise to stop?”.
”If you promise to keep your promise." Miesa held out her pinky finger.
”I promise". He linked their pinkies together and felt that strange jolt in his gut again.
”Am I doomed or what?”. Elyon shook her head.
"Don’t you find it very strange that your daughter looks a lot like me?”. Cesar asked her innocently. They had just finished a two hour meeting and went for lunch but Cesar decided to try a new place. They were having pizza for lunch and smoothie.“She does?". She feigned ignorance. "I haven’t noticed.” She shrugged nonchalantly.Cesar stared at her then down at his french fries. “Are you trying to tell me..that you gave birth to your daughter seven years ago and you’ve never taken a good look at her?.” He stared at her in disbelief.“M..maybe.” she mumbled.“Do you take me for a fool Ellie?”. He stopped eating and leaned back in his chair.“No of course not. I dare not". She shook her head. "But if that’s your story.” She added cheekily. "I thought you said you wouldn't bring this up again? You gave me your word." She said accusingly. "I'm curious." He said. "She looks exactly like me. Like I was cloned or something. Anyone with half a brain will think the same thing Ellie and wonde
Cesar stood in front of the floor to ceiling window overlooking the pool from his home office with a glass of whiskey in his hand. He watched as Antoinette Montalvo did lap after lap, her arms cutting through the water so easily that her actions appeared to be effortless then when she was done,she pulled herself out of the pool gracefully.She sent him a seductive smile when she caught him watching her and put on her robe. She'd asked him to skinny dip with her since the weather was a little hot but he'd declined and told her to go ahead and she'd not argued for fear of annoying him.Cesar turned away from the window and walked over to his desk and sat down. He dropped the glass of whiskey and picked up his phone. He scrolled through his contacts and settled on a number he never thought he’d call again and pressed the call button.The phone rang three times before someone picked up.“Boss.” The husky voice greeted.“I have a job for you. I need it done within three days.” Cesar inform
Antoinette’s eyes wandered from his muscular chest to one very aroused cock as he kicked his jeans and boxer briefs aside, leaving him completely naked.She licked her lips seductively wanting to touch him so bad but knew it was against the rules. No touching of any kind because he didn’t like it and he never told her why.“Cesar.." She breathed when he came on top of her.“Shh.” He lowered his head and kissed her stopping her from saying anything. His dominant embrace fueled the fire that was already smouldering,just like setting fire to gasoline.Cesar pulled her bottom lip into his mouth and bit it gently then released it as she moaned and granted him full access as she parted her lips and his tongue swept inside her mouth. His mouth expertly explored hers for what seemed like hours and then moved down her neck,to her collar bone and down to her breasts.He pinned her hands over her head and lowered his head to feast on her breasts. He laved over one of her nipples,the sensitive pe
“Annie?”. Her mother was surprised to see her at home. It was 1am on Saturday and she’d originally thought she’d stay over at Cesar’s house. It wasn't a normal occurrence but she had hoped that this time it would be different. She wanted the same thing her daughter wanted; for her to tie the knot with Cesari Sandoval and to keep all that wealth in the family.“Mom.” Annie sobbed and rushed to hug her mother. Monica Montalvo wondered what happened that her daughter was crying so hard as if she’d lost someone very dear to her.“What’s wrong Annie?”. Monica inquired and pulled back to look at her. "Did Cesar do something to upset you? did he..”“He doesn’t love me mother". Annie replied angrily, released her mother and walked over to sit down on the sofa. "After we.. fucked, I told him how I feel about him and he.." She hiccupped. "He broke up with me!”.“I’m very sorry dear." Monica went to sit beside her. "But you don’t have to be so upset because he doesn’t love you back my darling.
Ellie sat at her desk going through a travel magazine wishing she had enough money to take Miesa around the world. It wasn’t that Cesar didn’t pay her enough – he did and he was in fact more than generous but she had bills to pay and she couldn’t afford to be broke at this time. Not when she’d promised Miesa a big cake for her birthday and her favorite cartoon character gown.Miesa would throw a fit if she didn’t get that gown..and her temper tantrums were the worst. It was one she didn't want to experience. Not ever.The elevator doors pinged and opened and Cesar stepped out looking drop dead gorgeous in his navy blue suit. His hair was gelled back and he was clean shaven. He looked gorgeous in any outfit but today… there was something about him that she couldn't quite put her finger on.“Good morning sir.” Ellie greeted, cheerfully.“In my office right now.” He ordered and went to his office.Ellie stared after him, shocked by his attitude. Never in the three years she’d been workin
“Miesa Devane.” Doctor Mirabelle’s secretary called.“Yes Ma’am.” She stood up.“Come with me please.” She waved her over.Miesa smiled at Beth who smiled back and she left the class. She hoped doctor Mirabelle had good news for her because she couldn’t wait any longer.“You can go in Miesa.” The secretary told her when they got to the doctor’s office.“Thank you.” Miesa smiled then she knocked on the door, waited for a reply before she went into the office.“Come in Miesa!”. Mirabelle said. "I have good news for you.”Miesa closed the door and walked over to the desk. “Really?”. She beamed.“You were so right about what you told me." Mirabelle opened her top drawer and brought out a file.Miesa sat down on the chair bouncing with excitement. If it was good news then it could mean only one thing but she didn't want to put her hopes up.Mirabelle opened the file and took a paper from it. “Well this here says that Cesari Sandoval is 99.9% your biological father.”~Flashback~Miesa kept

Miesa sat in class with her chin resting on her palm. Her feet bounced on the floor as she waited for her mother to walk through the door. Her teacher Miss Valerie was talking to someone on the phone by the window and she was looking out so Miesa took out the envelope from her bag and admired it again for the millionth time that day.The envelope contained precious information that couldn’t get into the wrong hands so she returned it to it’s safe place just as her mother walked into the classroom and her teacher was just ending her call.“I’m so sorry I’m late miss Valerie. It won’t happen again.” Ellie apologized profusely.“It’s fine.” Miss Valerie smiled. “Let’s go Mimi.” She said to her daughter.“Is.. Cesar waiting outside?”. Mimi had wanted to call him “dad” but got herself in time. Her mother couldn’t find out that she knew the truth now.“No he’s not." Ellie replied with a frown. "I told you Mimi…he’s a very busy man.”“He promised not to be too busy for me.” She pouted.“Ye
