The Heartless Billionaire CEO and His Loving Secretary.

LILY Lily's alarm rings loud as she struggles to get out of bed. The life of being a student hasn't been easy on her but she can't give up. Mr Holland has done quite a lot for her by sponsoring her school fees. At least she wouldn't have to deal with school loans after graduation. "Bless that man", she said aloud. Walking into the bathroom, she took her brush from its holder and pressed the paste, scrubbing her teeth, she couldn't stop smiling. Graduation was in two weeks. She and Justin were finally graduating. Her grin continues to widen as her heart beats fast thinking about Justin. Lily has had a crush on her best friend, Justin since she resumed as a freshman. She had met Justin while she was in search of a decent club to join for better grades and their friendship blew up from there. Lily's alarm rings once again, guessing it's almost time to leave for school. A quick glimpse she notices she has a few minutes left before her bus arrives, so she proceeds to take a shower.

DAMSONThe expansive mansion was a stunning sight to behold. It had towering columns, long winding staircases and fountains that lay vast across the lawn. Running up the stairs, he entered his father’s room and saw him lying on the sheets looking so calm. Mr Holland was a powerful man with a heavy build. Sharp jaws and piercing eyes which he passed on to his only son, Damson. Seeing him lying helplessly like that cut at his heart. He wasn't ready for this. Since he wasn't the closest person to his father, death was the last thing he wished him. He could hear the ambulance from a distance. His father would be moved to the family’s hospital to get more hands-on deck in a bid to save his life.In the corner was Molly shaking and crying. He understood her plight. Mr Holland has been responsible for her and her family’s upkeep since he was born. He didn't stay home for long so he wasn't familiar with either her or her kids. Their family doctor was on the phone as he awaited and received f

Lily’s POV“ You have been selected for an interview, slated 8 days after you receive this mail.” Lily couldn’t believe her eyes. She has been selected for the interview. At least a little excitement in her life would help her out of her dilemma. She would get back to them after the burial. She finally finds a boost to sleep since has wandered around her emotions for some hours, switching off the lights, it was bedtime for Lily.Her phone rings, quite early in the morning, grumbling she picks up her phone, it is her mama. “ Hello Lily”, there was no nickname this time, Lily it must have been serious.“ Hello Mama, is everything okay?” She has asked.“Everything is fine, you might just have to clear your schedule today” Her mama had said.“Why what’s with the urgency? I have plans to meet Justin today”“Today is the will reading and the lawyer has requested we all be there including you.” Her mama responded.“Me? What do I have to do with it? Mama”, Lily had responded confused“ You

DAMSON“Lily went for an interview, she wouldn't be coming back until later in the day”, Damson overheard the housekeeper telling the chef on his way out.It was the day after the burial and he was tired. Sleeping in for most of the morning did little to ease his tiredness. He had the chef make him chamomile tea when he woke up which gave him enough strength to get the day started. He was going to see Fin put some things in place for work tomorrow as he wouldn’t be able to make it to the office. He trusted Fin with his office affairs which made it easy for him to carry out his duties whenever he was not opportune to be in the office.“An interview? not at his firm” he mused. If Lily got a job elsewhere, how else was he supposed to fulfil his father’s wish of giving her a job at the firm? On the other hand, though, he was happy he wouldn't have to deal with that as he would have a valid alibi. “Hopefully, she gets the job, '' he prayed.The drive to Fin’s apartment was short as his sh

DAMSON Work was lagging. Damson was feeling the effects of not having a secretary in his office. He couldn't seem to find where anything was filed. The other secretary who tried to fill in for her pending the time he found another competent one kept on getting on his nerves. “Has he always been this irritable or was she just plain dumb?” he had caught himself musing on several occasions. He needed to find a new competent secretary and fast at that. A part of him thought Lily would be the perfect fit but the other part of him vehemently declined. He didn't want someone who had any sort of familiarity with him. It would breed contempt and he couldn't allow that. Besides, women weren't his cup of tea any longer. Every one of them he became familiar with always gave him a reason to regret meeting them. Fin had been advising him to extend the opportunity to her since Damson had told him about her going for an interview and all instead of stressing himself trying to get someone e
