Chapter: One more timeSterling’s POVAfter scanning through my recent doctor’s report, my vitals are improving greatly after the hire. I can finally get eight hours of sleep and read some books I’ve put off. Miss Knox works so efficiently and it’s only been 3 weeks. After a long meeting with the Dao group, I’m completely exhausted. As I walk into the manor, Miss Knox’s hallway to her room is lit. I sigh with a sense of pride. I dragged myself to the shower, casually singing an old school song Starry night. As I slipped my robe on, I saw a figure lying on the bed. I switched on the lowlights and saw Amber in black lingerie gazing at me. “Amber, you can’t sneak up on me like that.” I said while covering my flushed face. She rolled her bedroom eyes and giggled. “You act like it’s the first time. Men are so predictable” Amber said in a sultry voice.She wasn’t wrong. We've played this games before, I can map out every inch of her voluptuous body. And she knows all my buttons. “Amber, we agreed to stop thi

Chapter: With great powerEva's Pov"It's you!"Without a moment's breath she gave me a huge bear hug. My brain finally pieced it together, It's Amelia! "Wow, I never thought I'd see you again!" I said with a large smile on my face. "Me too, and I was looking for you everywhere!" She cried out. Must have been hard to find me when I was stuck bedrotting with Stacy. "And how did you even get here? Only old men and weird looking ladies come to visit." Amelia said"Well I work here now, as your older brother's senior assistant." I replied nervously. Her eyes literally dilated while shining under the led light. "So you're gonna live here now?" she cooed in such an adorable voice. My heart was melting. "Basically yeah." I giggled. It was so refreshing having someone look forward to seeing me. "Alright kiddo, I have some papers to clear up. I'll see you later!" I said about to leave."Wait, wait I never got your name," she said with a pout. "Right, silly me" I said while scratching my head. "It's Eva Knox, or

Chapter: Shadows of the pastCHAPTER 7Eva's POVThe rest of the day was a breeze luckily. I messaged the assistant to Mr Rowland about the appointment and it was fixed. Whoever this man thinks he is, he can't lurk in the shadows and ruin things. I reached for my work phone when it rang. It was an unknown number. I sighed and slid the button to answer, because it could be anyone from the industry. "Good evening, This is Eva Knox from Neo Tempest Industries, how may I help you?""Wow, you sound like such a big girl, Eva."I felt my chest tighten as time seemed to slow down. This insufferable scumbag-"Jace Draven, how did you get this number?" I shouted. "Woah there cupacake, no need to flare up. You know I have my ways" He slurred. That sickening voice. A voice I was once head over heals for now made my stomach churn. "Jace if this isn't concerning business, I have to keep the line open for something actually important." I moved the phone from my ear when his words pierced me like a dagger. "You might want to

Chapter: Sensing MisconductCHAPTER 6Eva’ POV “Amber, that's enough!” Mr Tempest growled at the entrance of the dinning hall. His voice bounced off the walls. He briskly walked towards her, looking straight into her eyes. “You will treat Eva Knox with respect as she is essentially my right hand man. I will not tolerate any belittling attitude, is that clear?”Amber turned red, pouted her lips and mumbled a soft “Fine”. She pranced away with Eunice following after her. Mr Tempest rubbed the bridge of his nose and turned to me. Our height difference was more obvious now. He’s probably over 6 feet tall. His aura was domineering yet comforting. You would think he would have let it slide, tried to convince me not to take it to heart. But he actually stood up for me.“Miss Knox are you okay?” I felt my face flush. His deep voice graced my ears with such proximity.“I’m alright Sir,”I bit my lip.“I sincerely apologize for the scene. That woman is Amber Leroux, daughter of Mr Leonard Leroux

Chapter: A new chapterCHAPTER 5 Eva’s POV My Jaw dropped when a jet black limited edition range rover parked in front of Stacy’s apartment building. My heart was pounding, almost out of my chest. This is really my work car? A man dressed in a burgundy suit carried my bags into the boot and opened the door for me. Such chivalry, this must be how princesses feel. I stepped into the car and snuggled into the fine leather seat. The car’s fragrance was balsamic and rich. As we drove to the manor, The trip was soothing, the SUV glided along the streets, each passing one fancier than the last. Until it finally clicked. I know this route. This is the way to that girl’s house I saved! Oh my goodness, Did I save my Boss’s daughter? No, she’s too grown for him to have had her. Could be his little sister. And I was right. It was the same impressive gate I saw last month that opened up as we rolled in. My eyes widened in awe. The mansion is nothing I could have ever imagined. The architecture and luxury touches.

Chapter: Mr Tempest CHAPTER 4Sterling’s POVI can’t believe I was forced to do this. A real man gets the job done by himself with no help needed whatsoever. I look at the corner of my desk and wince at the doctor’s report. My mother got so worried about my blood pressure results that she emotionally blackmailed me to get a personal assistant. The last time I had any sort of clerical help, the man passed out from exhaustion after a week. I don’t need anyone slowing down my progress but unfortunately…It can’t be helped.“Sir it’s time to interview the shortlist of applicants.” The head of Human resources tells me. I slip on my jet black suit and look at my watch. 9:00 am. What a perfect use of the morning.The first applicant was an average man with clothes too tight to fit, He huffed and puffed about his achievements but nothing truly worthwhile. To end the noise, I wrote down his score and told him to invite the next person. The next applicant must have lost her way because she dresse
