The CEO's Reluctant Mistress

Once again the shrill ringtones cries out from my phone. Grimacing, I again answer my fathers call.“Hi Dad. What do you need?”“I need you to come down to the office. Something has come up and I need you.”To be honest, I am a little disgusted at myself when my heart nearly leaps out of my chest with excitement. This is it! He finally needs me!“I can be there in about thirty minutes if that’s okay?”“The sooner the better” He snaps and then hangs up. For him to be behaving like that it has to be important. I go to my closet and throw on any remotely business-like clothes I

Once outside my fathers office I quickly google the location of the closest subway station. Kenzie lives at the other end of the city, I would rather not spend over one hundred dollars on a cab if I can help it. Three blocks away I am descending into the subway station, swiping my metro card I pass through the turnstile and look up at the boards displaying the routes that were available. Locating the one which would lead me to Kenzie’s I move through the crowd to the platform to wait.  The subway slides into the station and with a hiss the doors open. People pass through the doors, emptying the carriage in front of me. Unfortunately, instead of being patient an overly enthused teenage boy attempts to push through the crowd knocking down a young woman.Pushing my way gently through the crowd, I helped her to gather her things that she ha

I walk into my fathers office building after the complete makeover by Anna and it feels as if everybody is staring at me. I don’t look that different do I? I start to think that maybe I may need to change my style. Standing, waiting for the elevator I cannot help but pull at the hem of my dress.“Stop that” Anna says, smacking my hand away. “And put your shoulders back. Slouching is unattractive. Plus it makes it harder to walk in those heels.”I make an effort to do as she says, lowering my shoulders and pushing them back. As I do so I can’t help but notice that it makes my chest both look bigger and perkier.“Anna?” I ask as we step into the elevator. “Have you ever met this

Returning to my tiny apartment, I sigh. I head to my closet and grab my duffle bag I know I keep in there. I just need to pack a few things to take with me. Before I can even get started though there is a knock on the door. I head over to the front door and peer through the peephole. To my surprise there are two men standing there in coveralls.“Hi there, um can I help you?” I say opening the door just a crack and keeping the safety chain on.“Yes, are you Miss Victoria Stratos?” The man closest to the door asks.“Yes, that's me. How can I help?”“We have been sent by Mr Aves to help you move your belongings into storage. Is now a good time?&rd

Before either of us can say a word, Austin is pushing the button and the elevator doors slide shut. I glance at Erin and see the smile that had once crossed her perfectly made up face is gone, replaced by what I would almost call a sneer. “So… How long have you been working for Austin?” I say in an attempt to start a civil conversation with a woman who clearly dislikes me.“For longer than you will be around. I was here before you and I will be here long after he tires of you.” she snaps back.Okay I was not expecting that much hostility.Before I can respond she continues “Here is your key card. Only you and Mr Aves will have access to the apartment. If you lose this I will not replace it. You will have to admit your m
