Kiara POV
I know you all think when I call Jordan Marcia a driver that I didn't know he was actually the boss...He looked like the boss, from his expensive Italian suit, his shoes, the watch and the similar features between him and the twins...I just wanted to put him in his place... I could see Mason and Natalie giving me a signal to stop talking... But I didn't care... He thinks he runs the world when he just managing the business his father left behind when he died...Working for Jaxon was fun but very tasking... The workload was incredibly much because of the little time we had to finish the whole design... In his album, he had twelve songs. He needs a different outfit to perform three songs. Therefore I need to design four unique sets together with his dancers and backup singers...I was under intense pressure... Although I know I could do it but my problems kinda diminished my morale. I missed my parent and David so much... I was still pondering on how to go about with the design, I walked through the lobby that lead to the main entrance of the Mansion only to sight Jordan and Emma making out by the lobby...Both were so carried away that they didn't see me until I was close to the entrance of the main door...When he saw me, he quickly dropped Emma's hand and reposition himself... As if I care... I had a little chat with Emma ignoring the presence of Mr arrogant... Then made my way inside the fashion studio... I met Natalie in the studio perfecting the sketches as I told her..."Natalie, this is beautiful," I said"Thanks to you... Perhaps Is all your idea" she said with a smile..."So what do you say, you accompany me to the fashion show this weekend?? I will really need a plus one...""Are you sure...?" I nodded..."Yes, sure I will love to..." She was so excited...Natalie reminds me so much of me when I was i bit younger... She has that burning desire to achieve great things and change the world of fashion... That was the same fire that lead me to study fashion design instead of engineering my father wanted me to study... Though I didn't regret the choice I made, I just regretted the fact that it hurt my family, especially my father so much that he has to go to the extreme of disowning me...Getting those fabrics together to fit a certain outfit wasn't an easy task... As a celebrity fashion designer, the type of song that features a certain design must also be considered before an artist wears the design...Natalie and I were already finished with the sketches, trying to put different designs to the test when I smelt a familiar cologne... It was Jaxon... I don't know why I feel this way anytime I'm in his presence... The thought of him alone makes my heart pound... Unlike other artists, Jaxon was the opposite of what he portrayed on stage...very gentle, he select his words very carefully...He is just the opposite of his arrogant brother Jordan..."Good morning ladies..." He sides with a smile"Good morning Jaxon..." Natalie responded with a smile whereas I tried to get the words out but couldn't...Jaxon kinda noticed my change of mood... Though I tried to avoid looking at his face..."Is everything alright Kaira..? He placed his hand on my shoulder... I could feel the fire of desire intensifying all over my body... I tried to look at his face but the more I tried the more I desire to be in his arms... I couldn't stand it anymore..."Yes, I'm fine.." I managed to say that..."Okay, but.....""May I be excused for a moment, I need to use the restroom" I butted out immediately before he could say another word...Jaxon was my celebrity crush but I didn't know he has such an intense effect on me... I got to the restroom.. rinsed my face severally but my heart still sang in delight as my mind drove my thoughts to wired places...I started picturing how his body will look without cloth... His shoulder... His lips on my lips...him serenading me and how perfect I will look in his arms...The thoughts of this alone drove me more insane...I looked at myself in the mirror..."Focus Kaira is your boss.." I said to myself...A few minutes later I got out of the washroom and found Jaxon waiting for me by the door..."Are you sure you are okay...? He asked again..."Yes, No, No... Yes, I'm fine... " I stammered..."I'm not sure if you are saying the truth though but I think I know what you need..."In my mind, I was like if only he knew how much I desire him."I think you need a little bit of fresh air.." He said..."come I want to show you something" He took my hand..."Where are we going..?" I asked...but I could only get a smile from him from the question I asked...In the car, the silence was very wired... My mind was racing a little bit because I have no idea where he was taking me to... So I decided to ask him again..."Where are we going? I asked again"Dont worry kaira, we are almost there" a Few minutes later he pulled over to the other side of the road... When I looked around, the place was very quiet... I was wondering why he brought me here though the environment seem nice and very peaceful..."What are we doing here..?" I asked when I got out of the car... We were practically in the middle of nowhere..."He looked at me... Maybe he noticed I was a little bit worried..."Don't worry Kaira, I didn't bring you here to kill you.." He teased with a smile..."You don't look like a serial killer either.." I smiled..."You know this place was once a park... That was in the early '90s... My parents used to bring us here every holiday for picnics... This place was actually the first place i wrote my first song... I was like 11.." He smiled..."Really...?" I said"You seem surprised? Well, I started writing songs at a very young age... Thou my parents didn't like the idea of their son becoming a musician...I came from a business family...my grandfather was a businessman... Same as my father... To them is all about family business... You know keeping the legacy of the Marcians... It was only me and my twin brother that took a different turn... Jordan decided to follow their part.."" I see... Well, my dad wanted me to study engineering... I had to change my course to fashion design... It was on my graduation day that he found out. And it didn't go too well.." I took a deep breath..."Wow!! But he should be proud of you now... I mean you are one of the best designers in town.. " he said..."You can say that again.." I smiledWe silently walked for a while until we reached a river...The place looks beautiful with trees, still water, and chirping birds..."This place is beautiful.." I smiled looking around..."Yeah!.." He said..."You know I'm like one of your biggest fans... Like I loved all your music... I still can't believe I'm standing beside Jaxon Marcian... Is really unbelievable...""You flatter me too much...Jaxon is as human as everyone else dear.." He said with a smile... He look at me and asked, " how do you feel now...?""Good... Really good... So do you mind singing one of your songs to me..?""Like seriously... Now..?" He asked"Yes, that's if you don't mind""Okay...."I sat down on one of the rocks beside the mahogany tree...His golden voice was so captivating that I began to shade tears... He stopped...looked at me..."Kaira, why are you crying.." He asked"Sorry I was lost for a moment... That was beautiful..."He used his hands to clean my eyes..."I'm sorry I made you cry...." He said...I looked at him and smiled..."Is getting late... We should start heading back... Thanks for this... I really needed it... " I said with a warm smile...Kiara's POV The Fashion show was this weekend, I know I won't be surprised by a lot of fashion icons I will see there... Sebastian always puts up a good show and lots of new designs every year... His exhibition has always been remarkable, something I always look forward to seeing...Yeah, I was excited but not as much as Natalie who couldn't stop talking about it for a whole week... Natalie and I decided to meet at my place... Since my house is not far from the Pere D' Santo where the exhibition will be held... Natalie decided to go for a simple look... An off-shoulder jumpsuit with sequin floral... But I on the other hand wore the dress that I had designed for my graduation afterparty which sadly didn't happen... It was a dress that was made with shimmering metallic crepe that shines under the light... It has a deep V-neck bodice that is captivating and thin spaghetti lines that cross over the open back gathering at the banded natural waistline...It also had a translucent overlay
Kaira POV "If you don't know how to walk in heels, don't wear them.." He teased... "I'm sure you tripped me..." I raged "Like seriously?... You really think I have that time..?" "The last time I checked it was your expertise..." I noticed he was still holding me down... "And why are you still holding me..?" I glared at him angrily..."Because if I leave you, you will fall..you are apparently resting in my arms" He smiled"I will rather fall than rest in your arms," I said, though I didn't mean that... "Okay, have it your way.." Before I could say another word, he dropped me to the ground and acted as if nothing happened... I was so embarrassed... I could see sympathy drawn on some people's faces while others were trying so hard to control their laughter.Sebastian and Mason saw what happened and rushed to help me..."Are you okay..?" Sebastian asked while he and Mason tried to get me up... "She tripped... I guess her heels were so heavy she couldn't lift her legs..." Jordan s
Kaira POV "What do you want David? Now you want to talk....?" I lashed out... "Is not like that... Just hear me out...." David said "Hear you out?... You know, you have no shame... You went behind my back and got another girl pregnant. Pushed me out of your house. And what you had to say to me was " is not like that... Or do you wanna deny it now David.. Answer me??" I lashed out again... "Kaira, listen Cynthia and I are moving into a new apartment next week. So I noticed that your makeup box and some of your shoes are still at my place. I was wondering if you wanna come to pick it up or I should bring it myself... ""What? Like seriously that's what you wanna tell me..? You know what David... Go to hell..."He wanted to say something but I didn't let him finish. I worked out... I was almost on the verge of shading tears but controlled myself and made my way out of the venue... On my way out Jordan grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me closer to the dance floor... I guess he l
Kaira POVOn our way home I was very quiet. We didn't talk much... I was thinking about what would have happened had it been we kissed... "Kaira, are you sure you are okay, coz you seem very quiet...? Jaxon broke the silence..."Yes I'm fine Jaxon" When we got to the door of my apartment... I invited him in thinking that he will object... Surprisingly, he accepted the invite... We got into my apartment. Jean and Max were thrilled to see Jaxon in the house that I almost felt embarrassed... "Oh! My god... Jax!!" Jean screamed"I will be dammed...Jaxon! Dude this must be a prank right" Max said..."Guys, you are embarrassing our visitor...?" Did you just say Our visitor?" Jean asked..."Yeah, our visitor" I replied... "Don't worry Kaira, I'm kinda used to this' Jaxon said with a smile... " Well, Jaxon meet my best friend and roommate... Jean and his boyfriend Max..." "Is nice to meet you guys" Jaxon said "We are a big fan of your music Mr. Jaxon" Max said "Please just call me Ja
Kaira POV I can't pretend I didn't like what I saw... Apart from Jordan being a pathetic and arrogant man, he's also very good-looking... Maybe that was where his pride came from... Seeing him butt-naked was kinda funny at the same time very embarrassing..."Dont you have shame??. Are you literally looking at me right now??" He screamed...Now how can I get myself out of this one... Jordan on a very good day is rude... He can never let this slide I'm sure..."Sorry, I was looking for Jaxon's room," I said trying to avoid looking at him directly... "How many times do I have to tell you that workers ain't allow at the main building...By the way, why are u looking for Jaxon's room... Perhaps you want to see him naked too..?" He was raising his voice now... "I said I'm sorry Mr. Jordan. It wasn't intentional that I found myself here... Perhaps I know how much you hate me... So you can say whatever you wanna say right now coz I can't unsee what has happened already..." He began walking
Jordan's POVI hate Mondays sometimes because to me is one of the busiest days of the week... I always have so much to do...series of meetings, business and contracts lined up waiting to be executed. One of the things about this business of real estate is if you ain't up to the task to take up the challenges and you aren't able to compete with other contractors your competitors might take advantage of that...Marcia Holdings has always been a very big firm right from when my dad was the CEO before he passed. After we went public, we have grown so rapidly that our shares alone are one of the best in the country. At least I'm very much aware that we control over 45% of the real estate and contracts around the city... So is that big? When I took over the business after my dad passed about two years back, it was a big deal for me. Since none of my brothers showed interest in the business, I had to take over the task and carry the burden alone. I woke up around 6:30 AM as I always do, I re
Kaira POVI was still in shock at what had happened in Jordan's office...I was very angry when I left his office because I didn't really know or understand the direction this whole thing is going... Though I seriously warned him to count me out of any game he's trying to play because I'm not interested...Thinking about the kiss he purposely gave me in his office alone makes me wanna throw up... So many thoughts were going through my mind as I drove inside the mansion... I spotted Mrs. Marcia seating in the lobby...So I parked a few meters away from the car park because Jaxon's car was also parked there... should I tell Jaxon about this or let it slide for now... so many thoughts were going through my mind as I approach the lobby..."Hello Kaira, were you able to get the measurement from Jordan? Mrs. Marcia asked..." No ma'am, when I got to his office he was very busy with a client and I couldn't wait because I have so much work to do today... Dont worry I will send Natalie to get
Kiara's POV I lazily got off my bed, one look at the mirror, my head was just as bad. I splashed some water on my face to feel refreshing and bitterly wished I could wash my brains free from toxins... I don't drink much but yesterday I couldn't help it. Yesterday was supposed to be the best day of my life. I was finally graduating from college but things didn't go as I expected. I thought my dad would forgive me for changing my course from engineering to fashion designer without his consent after he saw I got first-class honors but an African dad is an African dad. All I received was a hot slap and disappointment. Yeah, let me spell it out loud... My dad disowned me when he found out that being a celebrity designer was not only a part-time job but something I planned to do for the rest of my life. You know with African parents, they want you to fulfill their dreams without minding what you want... but my parents didn't get that liberty cause nobody controls my life apart from me

Jordan POV On our way home, so many thoughts were going through my mind. The thought of how Sebastian will react when he meets this lady. I wanted him to see how crazy this lady is.. that crazy overbearing attitude she possesses... Just a few meters away from the house... I became very skeptical and uneasy at the same time. Jackson drove inside the mansion..headed towards the garage. When I looked through the window I noticed Jaxon's car was parked at the entrance... "Let's see if you will have the same opinion about her when you meet her.." I got out of the car before the driver could get the door for me... "Common you are acting crazy..." Sebastian said as we walk inside the house... When we got inside the house, Mark was busy cleaning some of the artwork my dad brought on one of his previous trips... My dad was an urged fan of art, I will say that was where Mason inherited his art skills. He collects all kinds of artwork anytime he went on any of his business trips abroad... "
