MICHEAL'S POVIt took all his resolve not to react to the stinging on his cheek.Instead, he settled for straightening up the smile on his face."Mrs Sanders, hello to you too" He greeted."Forget the pleasantries, Micheal. You promised me that my daughter wouldn't be put in harm's way anymore!" She shrieked"I blame myself for trusting you!" She said aloud and walked past him to stand beside her bed. She took Alina's hand in hers and gave her a sad smile."My poor daughter is being neglected. I feel so sorry for her. "A muscle ticked in his cheek."Mum, that's not true. He's taking care of me" Alina defended weakly."You're too blinded to see it, Alina. The father of your child should be at your side at all times. Having lots of help from maids wouldn't just be enough. All the things that have happened are a testament to that fact." She complained.Micheal walked out ignoring Alina calling out to him. He couldn't be here anymore.As he stepped out of the room, he took one swing of

ALINA'S POVShe couldn't hold it in anymore. The suspense was eating away at her. Ever since last night, she had been unable to let the image of what she had seen go. There were lots of questions playing in her head. There was no justification for why Linda would be in her room that late at night. And the way she looked when she stood outside her door...She shuddered to think of what must have been going through her mind at the time.That's why she had resolved to trap her in the kitchen when Martha had gone out to get groceries. They were alone."Tell me Linda, what exactly were you doing in my room last night?" She blurted out.Sandra looked up, the corners of her lips twitched but she was calm. She stared up at her with widened eyes."What are you talking about ma'am?" She asked feigning surprise."I was in my bed all night," She said.Alina scoffed."You don't expect me to believe that" she responded.Sandra shrugged."I'm sorry ma'am, but I have no clue what you're talking about

MICHEAL'S POVWhen he awoke, he found her side of the bed empty. He sat up abruptly, panicked. He searched everywhere for her and padded down the stairs shirtless in search of her.He let out a sigh of relief when he found her hunched over on the couch taking a big bite of ice cream. A smile crept up on his face as he saw the guilt playing on her face."I was just craving some ice cream," She said and made a show to bring the lid over it to cover it up.He walked over to her chuckling as he sat beside her."It's okay." He told her."You're allowed to have some" He reassured her pulling the lid off to drop back onto the table. "Go on" He urgedShe eyed him skeptically. "Are you okay?" He asked when she dug in almost immediately.He watched the worry crease on her face.She shrugged her shoulders before taking a big bite."Are you sure?" He asked again.She gave him a forced smile and nodded in response. "I'm okay Micheal. You should go back to bed. You have work tomorrow" she said.

ALINA'S POVShe groaned as the light hit her eyes. "Madam wake up." She heard the voice call out to her.Groggily, she sat up straight."Martha, what are you doing here this early?" She said rubbing her eyes to try to clear her blurry vision. Her head throbbed gently. She groaned, raising her hand to reach for her head, memories of last night came flooding back.Micheal embarrassed her, their fight at the foot of the stairs, her crying her eyes out."Ma'am oh my goodness, your eyes are so puffy. Are you okay?" Martha asked rising to massage circles underneath her eyes with concern laced in her voice.She pulled her head away from Martha's grip."Martha, Martha, I'm fine " she reassured, holding onto her hands, she gave her a forced smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.Martha returned her smile with a nod of her head. She raised a hand to run it down her matted bed hair."Okay ma'am, I'll go downstairs to get your breakfast upstairs. Just freshen up."She said heading for the do

MICHEAL'S POV When he had left for work that morning he had been in a good mood. Because Alina had listened to him for once in their lives, she listened to him. Only to find her here, the very place that he had forbade her from coming. His hands fisted on the table. It took most of his willpower to stop himself from walking over to her and rattling her. What the hell was she thinking? That he would allow her to work in her condition. She was selfish if she thought that working here was going to be good for her. "Micheal?" He shook his head at the sound of his name being called. He cleared his throat. "Miss Alina Sanders, what is your purpose for coming here?" He asked. There was a pregnant pause. He watched her eyes dart around the room as she thought of an answer. She rubbed her palms across her trouser-clasped thigh. "Because I believe that I have what it takes to work here." He nodded. "And how did you think that you were going to be able to handle working here? If you

ALINA'S POV"Hello?""Hello is this Miss Alina Sanders?" the automated feminine voice sounded over the phone.She frowned."Yes, this is she" She responded."Okay, am calling about the position of managing director that you applied for earlier this month. You've been selected. I wanted to know when you would be available for the follow-up interview" the voice replied.Her eyes widened, and she clamped a hand on her opened mouth to keep from screaming."I'll be available anytime. When and where will the interview be held?" She asked."At the Empire State Building by 2 o'clock on Thursday. I'll send the details to your email" the female voice recited."Thank you, I'll be there. Thank you, thank you so much" she said excitedly and dropped the receiver back onto the telephone body."Yes!" She swung her fist triumphantly in the air."What are you excited about?"She jerked around to find Micheal behind her. He was dressed to the nines in his dark grey suit with his briefcase in hand. He w
