Part Forty.

“Your maid?” Beatrice asked in disbelief as Ben gave her a cocky look.“I want to believe this is a joke,” Beatrice laughed while rolling her eyes and placed her both hands on her waist, she snapped her gaze back to Ben and realized he was being serious with that look he was giving her.Ben has got to be kidding her, what does he mean by her being his maid?“You heard me right,” Ben cleared his throat and leaned back in his chair, a devious smirk playing on his lips.“I don't understand what you said just now!” Beatrice fired at him as she widened her eyes at him.“Your maid?”“Maid as in what?” Beatrice questioned him furiously, maybe if he explained what he fucking meant by being his maid, she will understand.Ben gave her an amused look and laughed, he stood up from his seat and straightened his suit while Beatrice glared at him. She watched him murderously as he approached her.Ben quirked a brow at her and stopped a few feet away from her and shoved his hands into the pocket of hi

Part Forty-One.

Ben walked into his house that evening, loosening up his tie, which was suffocating at that point, and he collapsed onto the bed in his room. He had let Beatrice go cause well, he had started to get swayed by her seduction, and he had seen her face change by his suggestion. He wondered what she was going to choose; date him or be his maid?It was even crazy because he hadn't thought of the options before meeting her, maybe the latter, but it had come out spontaneously while talking to her. He sighed and stood up to pick up his phone when it rang,“Hello,”“Ben dearest, how are you doing?” It was his mom.“Good and you, mum?”“Splendid. I hope you haven't forgotten about our anniversary party coming up tomorrow?”Wait, what? That was true. Fuck, how did he forget?“You didn't forget, did you?”“What? Uhm, no, of course not, I was even thinking of what to get you guys.”“Oh, you don't have to get us anything, just bring yourself and prepare to party all night.”He smiled without realizi

“What are you doing here?” Beatrice asked, clearly angry that he was there, but Ben was just glad that she had opened the door.“Making sure that you're getting ready,” he answered indifferently.“I'm not going if you didn't get that from our latest conversation.”He walked past her into her apartment, gently brushing her shoulder, and stared at all the bags he had sent her way.“What the fuck, Ben? You know what? It's even great because you can take all of your property from my apartment.”“They're all yours, if you didn't get that from our latest conversation too.” Ben turned to face her, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.She couldn't believe that he was still being cocky after making her go through that hell.“Just get out then, I'll make sure to send them to the trash if you don't want them.” Beatrice fumed.“Beatrice!” He stopped her in her tracks when she tried to walk past him to her room or something.“What is it now?”She was backed up against the wall with hi

The hotel front was filled with paparazzi, and it was no surprise considering how huge and popular the family was. They had the largest number of properties in New York and had their hands in almost every industry there was.“Ben you came,” his mum said enthusiastically when they entered, and she hugged him almost immediately. His dad wasn't so smiley, though, and he just nodded to Ben.“Uhm… You brought your secretary?”“Yes, I thought it'd be fun.”“Mrs. Clarke, Mr. Clarke, congratulations on your wedding anniversary,” they all turned around as a petite but beautiful lady walked up to their table, and she had on the sexiest dress that Beatrice had ever seen. It made her inferior in some way.“Chloe, you came…" Ben's mum purred at the sight of her.“Of course, I wouldn't miss your anniversary for anything.”“Ben, you remember Chloe, right?”He turned to the lady, smiling half-heartedly, and Beatrice could tell that he wasn't having this whole gathering.“Of course, hello, Chloe.”“It

The party was over and Beatrice could finally breathe. It had been crazy meeting Santiago like that, but she guessed she would have had to meet him sometime later.“See you tomorrow,” she said when they got to her apartment building and she got off. He didn't bother to tell her bye or act all cocky like he usually did, and that hurt her for some reason.He was probably still angry at the presence of Mr. Santiago, but there was nothing she could do about that. She turned around to go in, and she pressed her door code when she got to her apartment.“Ah, you scared me!!” She uttered the moment she saw Mia in her house and Mia stared back at her startled too.“Did you then have to shout like that?”“Why not? An intruder came into my house.”“What is all this, by the way?” She pointed to the bags, and Beatrice tried to avoid the conversation.“Did you cook anything?”“Hmm, hmm, no, no, no, you aren't escaping this,” she was in her pajamas, which told Beatrice she was going to be staying ov

"What would you like?" Chloe asked as she went through the menu and he shrugged."Nothing, I already drank my coffee today.""You should still eat something since I invited you here, cake?"He shrugged again, and the waiter took their order for a red velvet cake with a cup of latte."So how are you doing?"He raised an eyebrow, "you brought me out here to ask that?""I just want to know how you're doing. It wouldn't hurt to know.""As you may have already seen, I'm fine."She scoffed, "still as cocky as ever. Anyway, can you guess what is happening next week on Friday?""What?"She was pretty excited about whatever it was, and he thought about it, "Your birthday?"She nodded and smiled, "I didn't think you'd remember.""I didn't remember, I only guessed. Well, good for you.""Thank you. You're going to come to the party, right?"He shrugged again, "I'm a busy man, Chloe.""But not too busy to attend your betrothed's birthday surely...""I've told you not to mention that, Chloe.""But
