365 DAYS WITH YOU CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
I informed Nate earlier that I will be going home to get my medical report, but she didn't look interested in it anymore. No one needed to tell me that she had a lot on her mind.Mum received me with warm embrace. Aunt Kim wasn't back yet though, so, it was just I and Mum for the next one hour."You can't hide this pregnancy for long" Mum said to me, breaking the silence we enjoyed while we chewed on the popcorn, and watched a Tv series. I played deaf cos there was nothing to say. "What are your plans?" She pressured. Was she trying to make me sad, or she was just simply concerned?"I will take my break when my stomach starts protruding" I shrugged, not even sure of my plan. We kept chewing on the popcorn in silence. I caught a quick glance of my mum's face, there were mixed emotions."Are you worried about me, or the job?" I asked, when I couldn't withstand it anymore. It felt like my mum was still judging me, and haven't fully forgiven me. So, why did she come back? because I got a

Nate didn't ask for the medical report yesterday, so I assumed she was prolly occupied, and didn't want to disturb her, besides I got back late.I was to officially resume today, and could still feel the tension, I felt yesterday. "He is not a monster, breathe." I reminded myself of Nate's words, as a way of relaxing my nerves.Staring at my reflection in the mirror has become an habit for me, lately. My hands ran through my stomach, as I tried to feel for any movement. I know I was being silly, because it's too early for that.Reaching out for my hair, I tried dressing it just like the way Nate did yesterday. The result wasn't as beautiful as hers though. My name tag laid on the bed, and I stared at with admiration, like it was golden. It read 'PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO DANIEL BRADFORD, KHLOE JACOB'. Just tell me, who won't be grateful for this?My necklace was still fitted on my neck, so, all I had to do, was dress up, and place my tag on my suit, which I did within minutes.I admired m

Carl and Maria met at "THE GILDED ROSE DINING ESTABLISHMENT". The restaurant exuded a sense of romance in every tiny detail. From the dim lighting, and peaceful music, to the crisp white linens, and crystal chandelier. The chandelier which suspended from the ceiling above the room, was made of crystal droplets, sparkling in the dim light. It perfectly added to the romantic ambience. The dining establishment was nestled in a serene corner of the city, away from the hassle of the streets. Nate specifically choose this place, because of its idyllic tranquility. One could easily get enchanted, and fall in love in a place like this, temporary forgetting every other thing that mattered.The waiter handed Maria the Menu, which comprised of two sections, one for the wine, and the other, for the food.The food menu featured an extensive selection of dishes, ranging from West African Cuisine, Italian Pasta dishes, to French Seafood specialities."Uhmmm, I will go with the chicken marsala."

Carl was livid when he saw Nate. "Don't ever leave me in such uncomfortable situation again. The rest dates should be scheduled for 30 minutes. Once the time lapses, excuse me from the date." He said to her. No one needed to tell her how the date went. It was obviously horrible."Okay, sir" Nate brought out her tab, and typed the scheduled 30 minutes, as a form of reminder for herself. It was already 6, and Carl still had more dates on the line. She moved closer to him, with her tab, on her right hand."It's time for your next date. I carefully selected some random ladies, that may fit your taste." Who would ever want to lose a P.A like her, that relentlessly work towards reducing the workload of her boss.Carl scanned through the list, "The last time, I looked out for degree, but this time, I won't do that." His eyes kept scanning the list, and when he got tired, he randomly pointed at a curvy lady. Nate picked up her phone, to contact the lady with the number provided.***The seco

Nate's idea was completely off the wall, but was worth giving it a shot. His Dad was definitely going to go berserk if he ever found out about this, so everything has to be a secret. He just had to go along with this plan, or else end up losing the company. Everything to him felt like a game of life, and death, in which he must be the winner, or end up dying. 'Better dead, than losing', Nate always felt this was her boss's secret slogan, because he would rather drop dead, than let someone win over him. Carl's date was in an hour time, and as the time drew closer, he became more impatient, and anxious to get over it."How do I look?" He asked Nate, trying to get some sort of self appraisal."You look perfect" She gave him a guarded thumbs-up, despite the fact, she wasn't comfortable with the whole girlfriend idea, not to mention dating someone working under Mr. Williams' payroll, yet she silently prayed it works out, because the selection process was taking a toll on her.***Two hours

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

CARL'S P.O.V(POINT OF VIEW)I had no idea the new p.a was this daring. No one could turn me down, but she did. The moment she rose from the chair, and strode towards the door, exiting the Ice cream shop, I knew she was going to be a perfect fit. For the first time, someone confidently walked out on me! I love challenges because I always win, and she just became one, which I must win.As she strolled into the ice cream shop, heads snapped around in her direction. The dress she wore clung to her curves, emphasizing her graceful form with every step. She glowed with an ethereal radiance, captivating the attention of everyone in the room. As soon as I got home, I found myself pacing around the room, consumed with mixed emotions. I knew I had to find a girlfriend before the meeting with my dad, and time definitely wasn't on my side.I heard the doorbell ring, and asked the person to come in, without inquiring who it was. It was Mr. Stoner. He crept into the room like a shadow, as if he

"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

In the dimly lit garage, Carl swung open the passenger door, his eyes sparkling with excitement. I felt a rush of adrenaline as he urged me to get in, his words tumbling out in a persuasive whisper. My heart raced like a wild animal, making it hard to catch my breath. I fired questions at him, but he just smiled at me, his silence only adding to the mystery. He slid into the driver's seat, and turned the key in the ignition. The engine roared to life, and we sped off into the darkness, the tires screeching in protest. The only sound was the soft hum of the engine and the crunch of gravel beneath the wheels, leaving a trail of dust in our wake.As we drove, I glanced at the road, my mind racing with thoughts about my boss's schedule. "I have to go out with my boss by 10 PM. Are we going to be back before then?" I asked, my voice almost lost in the breeze of the night. Carl's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with mischief. "You won't be back today," he responded, his voice low and hu

CARL AND MR. WILLIAMS Carl meets with his father in his room. Mr. Williams' face was etched with a deep frown as Carl explained the situation of Khloe mum's illness. "She's too sick to meet with you, unless you're willing to visit her in the hospital," Carl said, knowing full well that his father would not agree to the suggestion. One thing, he and his dad had in common was the strong aversion to hospitals, the antiseptic smell and sterile atmosphere grating on their nerves. "What exactly is wrong with her?" Mr. Williams asked, his eyes peering out from behind his glasses, his voice laced with concern."She has a heart problem, and I think a kidney problem too." Carl responded."She is your future wife's mother, why don't you just fly her to the best surgeons." His father suggested."Yes, you are right. I would be discussing this with Khloe today." Carl responded. Mr. Williams still had no idea that his son's girlfriend actually works in his house, and under his payroll. Ca

MR. WILLIAMS P.O.VI stood before the sleek, silver vault in my suave, dimly lit bedroom. The soft, golden light of the bedside lamp cast a warm glow on the simple, yet elegant document that lay before me. It was a contract, one that had bound me to a promise I made years ago. I was dressed in a comfortable, yet stylish outfit - a crisp, white linen shirt, paired with dark pants, and a pair of my favorite slides. As I gazed at the document, my mind wandered back to the happy memories of my wife. Her bright, radiant smile and infectious laughter filled my thoughts. We were once so happy, so full of life and love. But then, something changed. A secret, one that I had kept hidden for so long, began to tear us apart.I shut the vault, and made my way to the bed, collapsing onto the soft, feathered duvet. My eyes closed, and my mind drifted back to the past, to the moments that had led me to this point. The memories came flooding back, like a bittersweet tidal wave, crashing against the s

DANIEL'S P.O.V I realized that caution was crucial in my quest to outdo my brother, as Carl seemed to be gaining the upper hand. I needed to tread carefully to avoid raising suspicions and refrain from confrontations with my brother, opting instead for a more subtle approach. I reached for my phone and sent a discreet message to Nate, requesting a meeting outside the house at 12 P.M. She vehemently agreed to the meeting without telling me how her boss might need her to be around. Nate's sudden cooperation with me was equally unsettling but then, I wasn't going to win this fight without her. As I sat at RESTON Restaurant, my eyes fixed on my watch, mesmerized by the ticking seconds and minutes creeping towards our appointed hour. Time seemed to slow, and I felt like a predator waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And then, without warning, Nate appeared before me, her presence announced only by the soft creak of the chair as she sat down. Her sudden arrival caught me off guard,

KHLOE'S P.O.VI knew sneaking out of the mansion without my boss's permission was a grave mistake, but my mother's dire condition had left me no choice. I had to see her, and Carl had equally given me the courage to do so. I didn't even get a chance to speak with her, since she was asleep through out my stay in the hospital. But then, Carl's unexpected kindness had been a balm to my soul. He'd not only driven me to the hospital, but also taken Aunt Kim out, giving her a little opportunity to breathe in fresh air. Her smile when they returned was so beautiful, and I felt a pang of gratitude towards Carl that sent shivers down my spine. The flutter in my chest, the longing to be near him, it all came flooding back.Yet, my thoughts soon snapped back to my boss, who I knew would obviously still be pissed at me. I needed to face him now, to apologize and beg for mercy. My heart raced at the uncertainty of meeting him this morning - would I get fired, or perhaps receive more slaps on my f

As I sat on the ground, with my hand on my face, the headlights of Carl's car illuminated the dark driveway. He leapt out of the vehicle, his long strides devouring the distance between us. His face was a picture of fury, his eyes blazing like embers. "Don't tell me Daniel did this to you!!" he thundered, his voice like a crack of lightning that shook the air. "Where is Daniel?!!!!"I gestured weakly towards the club's back door, and Carl seemed to expand with rage, his chest heaving like a bellows. He looked like a knight ready to charge into battle, but I stopped him with a frail hand, my voice barely above a whisper, as I groaned in pain, "Please, Carl, just take me home."The anger in his eyes still simmered, like he was about to bring the whole world down. But as our gazes met, the anger eventually gave way to a softness I'd never seen before. He scooped me up from the ground with a tender strength, like I weighed nothing. He settled me into the back seat. Then, he rounded the ca

"Meet me at Roosevelt Club," Daniel's voice thundered through the phone, his tone devoid of warmth. The silence that followed was deafening, leaving me with a sense of agitation that made my heart race.Carl's eyes, filled with concern, locked onto mine. "What did he say?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle. I relayed Daniel's curt message, and Carl's eyebrows furrowed in inquiry. "Why do you think he wants to meet you there?" he asked with curiosity written all over his face.I shrugged, my shoulders trembling slightly. "I don't know," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. Carl's eyes seemed to bore into my soul. "I'll go with you," he offered, his voice firm and resolute. His eyes, filled with a deep empathy, seemed to say, 'I'm here for you, no matter what.' I felt a lump form in my throat, touched by his unwavering support."Thanks, Carl," I replied, my voice cracking slightly. "But I think you should head back home. I need to face Daniel alone." My words were laced with

I felt someone's warm touch on my shoulder blade, and I turned to see Aunt Kim's radiant smile and a shopping bag clutched in her hand. The brief break from the hospital's antiseptic aura had worked wonders on her countenance, replacing her earlier tears with a vibrant glow. As she held out the bag, her eyes sparkled with kindness. "We got your favorite ice cream, sweetie!" The cold, creamy treat was a welcome balm for my frazzled nerves. I mouthed a silent "thank you" as I savored the sweet delight.My gaze wandered, searching for Carl, and Aunt Kim nodded toward the parking lot. "He is in the car, waiting for you. I think you should leave now." She planted a kiss on my forehead. As I turned back to my mother's still form, my mind snapped back to the present, and reality hit me like a ton of bricks. My eyes locked onto her motionless figure, and my heart ached with worry. A quick glance at my phone revealed the time - 6:30 pm - and a string of missed calls from Daniel, each one a rem
365 DAYS WITH YOU CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
The drive to the hospital was a grueling ordeal, a far cry from a smooth and peaceful journey. We found ourselves stuck in a seemingly endless traffic jam, with cars honking incessantly as frustrated drivers tried to navigate through the chaos. The cacophony of horns and revving engines was a stark contrast to the sense of urgency that drove us forward.As we inched along the congested road, I repeatedly tried calling Aunt Kim's number, only to be greeted by her voicemail each time. Fortunately, I had managed to get the name of the hospital during our last conversation, if not, we would have been completely stranded. The tension was obvious, the air thick with unease, as we navigated the chaotic roads. Despite the cool air blowing from the vents, I felt a trickle of sweat trace down my spine, my heart racing with every honk and swerve. Suddenly, a reckless driver veered into our lane, threatening to collide with Carl's car. My breath caught in my throat as Carl expertly swer
