"What do you want to do today?",she asked and with a bored look I mentally groaned,'Stay in bed all day doing nothing'"Breakfast would be nice",I gestured, slowly getting up and resting my back against the head board.Never in my life had I been this pampered. Breakfast in bed, watching movies in bed, lunch in bed, taking strolls outside the garden and ironically bedtime stories with her. The first few weeks were great, learning something new about her everyday, getting to know her passions, mastering her intoxicating smell because she was always so near me.We took strolls in the garden often and she expressed her love for lilies. When I asked her why she didn't like roses like most women did, she fired back that she wasn't like other women something I had to firmly agree with. Her favorite flowers were the tiger lilies which she claimed had a sweet scent that simply made her drawn to them unlike the white lilies and the day lilies.'You know it's good once in a while to enjoy some

"All set?" I asked once we got in the car. Mrs Jenna had visited and I was actually happy to see her. She surprised me when she said that she only found out about Niklaus' accident today. Ofcourse I knew Nick liked to keep things to himself, loved to be isolated but for God's sake Mrs Jenna was his mother and she deserved to know about his accident.Regardless for the few weeks I had spent with him, things between us were- I would say good. Underneath that grumpy cold gorgeous exterior, deep down Niklaus was a big softie like a giant teddy bear I wanted to squeeze in my arms forever. I know it was pathetic of me, pathetic to even dream that he would look at me the same way he did Isadora, but a girl could only hope, right?I could only hope that watching movies together while cuddling, taking afternoon strolls in the garden while laughing at anything that came to mind, stargazing while we camped just outside the house...that somehow he had the same warm fuzzy feelings in his heart li

"Everything is all set, Sir",the manager of the 7 Mirrors Restaurant peered at me and I showed my gratitude with just a mere nod.I had rented the whole restaurant to ourselves, to be alone with her for the entire night. I looked around feeling as if everything would be too much for her. For example the ensemble playing classical music, was it too much? Or was the food too much?Courtesy of the chef, on our table adorned in white petals were different cuisines like Kobe Beef, almas beluga caviar and black truffle brie Cheese served on a gold flake-infused corn tortilla, there was also chicken adobo over steamed rice coupled with soy-vinegar dipping sauce on the side with some chopped up garlic and chilli, I had also gone to a large extent as to order the chef to prepare some Thai cuisines like Yam Pla Dook Foo which was fried catfish with green mango salad.In a way, I wanted to see her smile while her eyes widened at the different flavors all in one table. One thing that Eleanor coul

There were certain things in life that were impossible. Like waking up and finding a million dollars in your bed, like waking up and finding yourself almost as fast as The Flash. And the most impossible thing that up to now I found difficult to believe was that Niklaus Rogers liked me well technically it was loved me even though he didn't put it that way.I clung to his shoulder almost trying to make out whether this was a dream. My stomach was full but that didn't stop me from taking his hand when he asked me to dance. Everything. He went through an extra mile to do all this for me. We slow danced to the song 'In The Stars by Benson Borne' and my heart raced with excitement. Niklaus Rogers was my boyfriend now.It didn't seem possible and deep down I wanted to scream from sheer excitement. I wanted to confess that I loved him, I loved how good he smelled, I loved the way he smiled, how grumpy he could get, I loved the fact that he treated me differently, made me feel important? And l

"I hate to say it but with Daniel we managed to pull this off",Drizella commented spreading the designs on top of her desk.I hated to admit it but when I was gone, Daniel handled everything like I would have. But then again, he started all this, he stole our designs leading to us having to team up."Yeah. The designs are great but don't forget he is the one that started all this", I hinted."Are you saying that because of dad or Issa? Come on, Klaus. What he did to dad happened years ago. I think you are mad because he is Issa's fiance"No. I wasn't mad at Daniel Harman because of that. I was mad at him because I came second to my dad because of him. Daniel Harman was like the son my dad wanted to have. And when my dad discovered Daniel's betrayal in the company, I was his scape goat. Simply marry me off to Isadora Montefalco so that he wouldn't lose his precious company.And Isadora, God now that I was thinking more clearly she was the last person on my mind. The only person that li

"I don't understand, I thought that he had already had surgery",Klaus asked confused.He ran his fingers through his hair nervously as we all await the doctors to rush out of the operating room and tell us how Benny's dad was doing.Benny's mom stood with Benny in the middle of the hallway crying nervously and leaning against Benny for support.I felt sorry for them. Watching your father almost die infront of you must have been traumatizing. I never got to see my father or my mother but I'm sure Benny felt like shit at the moment.I held onto Niklaus' hands as we both sat across the couches from where Benny and his mother stood."Hey it's not your fault, Nick. You couldn't have known that would happen", I assured him."What if-he. Something bad happens to him. I'll have to deal with that. It's on me, Elle"At this point I couldn't fathom whether he was talking about Benny's dad or his father. He didn't like to talk about his father, William Rogers and I didn't want to pry further.But

"What did you two talk about?" I asked watching her undress infront of me as she got ready for bed.It took a lot of self restraint not to stare like I had in the last couple of days. What had happened today was just remarkable. Surprisingly it felt good talking to her about my dad, like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders."That's between your sister and me", she replied discarding her bra in the laundry basket.And that's the thing that bothered me. It was Drizella we were talking about and she wasn't Elle's biggest fan. What if she said something bad to her? Or made Elle hate me?"Relax, Nick",she sluggishly walked towards the bed pulling the covers away so she could hop in."She was nice to me, if that's what you are wondering""Drizzy? Nice? What did you say to her?""I don't know, I guess she felt nice that you finally talked about your dad and she somehow I thought that I'm the reason behind it""Well she wasn't wrong. I couldn't have talked to them without your help

I woke up next to an empty bed, it was a bit disappointing not to find Nick's sleepy face next to me. Ofcourse I understood that something must have come up at work for him to leave so early without telling me.Regardless I couldn't help but feel this empty void in my heart when I didn't find him. The thought of calling him crossed my mind until I remembered he wasn't just my boyfriend but the CEO of Rogers Co. And to be honest, the latter mattered most than me."You are awake, sleepy head",Chica said pulling up a plate and laying two pieces of toast on it."I slept in, huh? What time is it?" I asked.I didn't just sleep in, I wanted to sleep all day just to avoid meeting up with Drizella. I wasn't scared of, I was a little nervous. I mean what would we talk about much less in a mall?I was bad at shopping, I had a poor choice on fashion let alone my own clothes so going shopping was the worst idea I could agree to."It's around nine. Sir left around six in the morning",Fey's voice ca
