All Chapters of 365 DAYS WITH YOU: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The elevator chimed open at the lobby, my pulse quickening as I approached the sleek, black Ferrari. The driver stood at the passenger's door, opening it with courteous flourish. "Goodmorning ma'am" He curtsied. Ma'am? Did he just call me that? I bristled. "It's Miss Khloe, thank you," I replied, my words trailing behind me as I swept past him. My cool confidence masking the butterflies in my stomach.My eyes met the piercing gaze of the guy, whom I was going on an unofficial meeting with, and then the sudden realization that this was actually real, and he is my boss's brother, hit me! My jaw literally hit the floor, cos how could someone look this perfect! This guy was like a walking angel, with a face that could stop traffic, or perhaps cause one. I recognized him from the first day I arrived, when he was having a chat with Nate. I was frightened to stare at him then, and didn't get to see his face, but right now, staring at him up close was like a whole different ball game. I alw

"Mr. Carl, Doctor Bryan is downstairs." Nate's voice boomed over the phone. She couldn't go upstairs to deliver the message to Carl, because she was busy filling in for me. Daniel hasn't noticed my absence, since Nate made sure all the messages sent by him, got through her. I was quite lucky to have escaped Daniel's messages today, cos when I saw her, she looked like hell."I heard you turned him down" She titled her head towards my direction after dropping the call. After meeting Doctor Bryan downstairs, I was all shaken up, so I hurried to my room to calm down. Minutes later, I paid Nate a visit, with two things on my mind - Firstly, I wanted to find out who Doctor Bryan had actually come to see, and secondly, If my boss needed me while I was out. I was filled up with a mix of curiosity, and anxiety as I walked to her room."Did I?" I replied with a slow drawl, rolling my eyes with an air of faux innocence. She simply turned back to the paperwork on her desk, clearly not buying my c

When I returned to my room after the brief meeting with Carl, I was greeted by the folders Nate had given me earlier. I hadn't started working on them yet. I trudged with heavy strides towards my work desk, wishing the day would end already. The demo papers made the work easier, as they were self-explanatory.I found Carl to be quite attractive. His looks were pleasing to me that I thought we could actually make cute babies together. I was busy daydreaming by my desk, and had to pinch myself several times. What was I even thinking? I already despise him so much. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I started comparing Carl's room to that of my boss. Carl's room was nothing like Daniel's. My boss's room was a smart room, while Carl's was just a luxurious bedroom. High-quality furniture filled the room, including a mahogany bed frame. A silk duvet laid on the bed, and I noticed the velvet curtains. The room was large, with high ceilings, and had a walk-in closet. A TV set like the o

CARL'S P.O.VWhen Doctor Bryan informed me about her pregnancy, an idea struck me. It felt like heaven decided to bless me. This was my chance to finally get what I wanted, as I would use her pregnancy against her. There was nothing special about this lady though, I was just tired of searching for the perfect match. During the meeting with my dad, a strange feeling overcame me, like a sudden attraction to her, something I have never felt before. I had no idea a woman could have so much calming effect on me by simply placing her palms on my lap. Every lady out there was always willing to throw themselves at my feet, but she, she didn't give a fuck about me. She was a force to be reckoned with, and strong-willed lady who obviously couldn't easily be tamed. Now, I became curious to know everything about her, and I wasn't going to stop until I find out the tiniest detail about her life.I was sure that my father would disapprove of our relationship if he knew that she was under his payro

I woke up in a room filled with sick people. I could smell the sickly-sweet stench of disinfectant and illness, and it made my stomach turn. My head was throbbing, and my vision, blur. I tried to get up from the bed but fell right back on the scratchy sheets. _Why am I even here?_ I tried to recall what happened earlier, but each time a fragment of my memory came back, my head ached badly. I could hear the rhythmic beeping of the machines, the footsteps of the nurses parading the room, voices down the hall, and then the slamming of the door."How does your head feel, good?" A nurse in a white uniform approached me. Her footsteps were so light on the floor, that I almost didn't hear the sound of her shoes on the tiled floor. She checked for my pulse, and asked questions, that I only nodded to. "I will give new sedatives. You will need to rest more." I suddenly had a rush of memories flooding my mind about everything that had transpired today. I remembered the long commute to the hospit
