"Mr. Andre...." Came the head stewards surprised voice, as he looked at the jaw dropping beauty before him. Wow! Graham really birthed a charming prince why did he have to cheat on his first wife for his mistress."I'm not surprised that you are surprised Edward." He said plainly to the head steward. He rarely came to the house except he needed to cause a fuss. Edward was simply worried that he was here to cause a commotion at the reading. He was not fond of his step mother and step Brothers so what was he doing coming here. Even though they had expected him as his father wished he was present at the reading."My boss is here for the will. He is the first son of the late Mr. Graham after all. So he is right to be here except everyone thinks otherwise." James said to Edward explaining the situation. He could see the tensed up reaction he had and knew his boss was going to turn into a snub towards him."Alright I will lead the way. They just finished with lunch and have proceeded to he
"W-what?" She stuttered trying to assimilate what she had just heard, it seemed like a joke to her. No this had to be a joke, there was no way possible Mr. Graham could have done this to her. How were the dogs supposed to change her life. She stared into space oblivious of the people staring at her now. Miss Charlotte seems to be the most pleased, her second son Ivan had a hint of pity in his eyes but once he sighed he returned to his blank expression. Bruno was the only one who considered her feelings and really felt sorry for her. He knew the efforts and all she had to endure as his father's sugar baby. "Mati... My sweet Mati." His voice rang in her ears, she could hear him loud and clear like he was present there. "Mr. Graham, how could you? You gave me your word you!" She yelled at him in her head. Her heart was aching. To everyone she stood shocked at the outcome of the will but to her, several scenes were playing out in her head."Mati what do you need such amount for?" His v
His lasting smile which he held on as long as he admired her soon faded and now his lips were parted, stunned at how Matilda had handled the kerchief. She wiped her face clean and went ahead to pour all her nose fluid aggressively into the kerchief. She knew what she was doing. His designer kerchief, she was going to mess it up not caring how he'd feel even though he was only trying to be nice."I guess I should thank you." Her voice was roguish as she spoke. She stood up passing a glare at him. " As you know already I ran out of gratitude." She clutched her bag leaving his presence not turning a bit to even look at his reaction. She had also dropped his kerchief on the floor using her heels to ruffle it on the ground."H-how could she? My designer.... Shit! Mati You have no idea how much this cost! He yelled even though she was out of sight."I bet it cost three times your underwear." He bit the inside of his lips, regretting his words instantly. The house steward who stood outside th
As Andre walked into his company's building, his staffs could see the visible anger evident in his facial expression. They held gossip chats as they glued on each other to talk about his mood. Their boss was always calm in appearance even when things weren't going well but seeing him with such a mood only meant one thing that he had encountered his father but that wasn't possible because he was late now. What could have gotten him in such a mood? Sadly, James his personal assistant was the one to deal with this mood of his."Do you need anything?" "Get lost!" He yelled startling James who was only trying to make him calm down. James left instantly as if the rage in his voice had swept him off. Hearing his father's sugar baby was present at the reading of the will did stir him up more than knowing that Charlotte was also present. Andre had gotten into his office somehow, even when he wasn't completely conscious of his environment his feet managed to get him where he needed to be.He
Matilda shivered from the rains chill over her body, she kept her gaze fixed on the car and in no time its doors opened revealing the dark figure of a man who she could tell had amazing features. He had an umbrella over his head and his heels walked calmly towards her till he was standing right in front of her. Her tears had blurred her vision but this man before her seemed very familiar and his scent, not something she could quickly forget. The glimpse image of their proximity back at the parking lot flashed through her mind and her heart leaped at the realization that he was the one now in front of her. She stood up quickly trailing her eyes through his body.Andre's eyes followed her up as she rose, his lips parting to utter a word. "I guess we see again." He said in a low voice. Matilda was quiet breathing out cold air, the look she had on her eyes gave him conflicting assumptions."H-have you been following me?" She asked shuffling back. At this point it was evident that the look
What was he going to do? She wondered, perplexed by his action. The door paved way further as he strode into the room. "What are you doing?" She inquired, watching his every move carefully. He seemed way too relaxed and unfazed by her nervousness. He slowly let the door close behind him and now it was just the two of them within these walls."Making sure you're safe." Andre replied as he began to move about her room, scanning everywhere with his eyes to catch a hint of danger. "I told you it was my brother." She spoke behind him as he walked towards her window. He played with the curtains before taking a quick look outside through it. Matilda's heart was racing. If he tried anything stupid she was going to scream at the top of her voice.Andre took one last tour of the room before turning to face her. " You have a comfortable place." He tried to compliment. Matilda raised a brow wondering if he really thought so."Certainly nothing compared to yours so I have a hard time believing y
She held that look on her face, the one that showed she wanted to hide away, if possible sucked in by the ground. She looked at Andre helpless, hoping he'd save the situation."Your brother?" Andre whispered to her hearing, a hand resting on the wall while the other holding her shoulder up so she wouldn't slide down. She nodded and he pulled away from her. The both standing to face him with Matilda in front."Tyler, you... What are you doing here?" She asked nervously as she walked closer to him." He had dark hair like her and it was a bit curly. He wore a black hoodie top and a brown trouser, his muscular arms left bare with tattoos covering it up. He looked like a gangster and made no effort to hide it at all. Andre could now understand why he would break his sister's door if she clearly banned him."Who is he?" He inquired totally ignoring her question. Matilda glanced back at Andre and returned her focus to her brother."Can we talk about that later?' She whispered hoping Andre w
As he thought it, she came in, proving the saying "speaking of the devil." She was all dressed up to have dinner bearing that smile that had another meaning to it."Lena." Andre called surprised."My love." She strode towards him dropping a kiss on his lips while he stood still watching her with curious eyes. She giggled and clinged closely to him so that they looked like a couple. Miss Ashley seemed very pleased looking at them."What are you doing here?" He asked with a mean gaze. She seemed to be telling him something with her eyes. That his mother was there with them and he should put up with the act."Andre, I hope you ain't mad at me for involving Lena in this. I didn't force her, she actually offered to help." Miss Ashley explained." No mum, it's fine." He released himself from her hold pushing her away slightly but she tried covering up the awkwardness by laughing nervously. Miss Ashley tried to understand the situation but she didn't want anything to ruin the moment. She con
