TWO WEEKS LATER. BENJAMIN’S POV. “Hey man.” I slumped tiredly on the chair as he glared at me. Gosh! I was damn tired from those strenuous activities last night, winks, you know what I mean. “And What are you doing here Ben, aren’t you supposed to be at your company, working?” He asked, and I frowned. “Is hat how you welcome a friend you haven’t seen in, what, a week or weeks?” He rolled his eyes and looked at me unenthusiastic. “I’ll ask again, what are you doing here, Ben?” “I came to see you, Xavi.” I smirked as his dimmed. “Call me that one more time and I swear you’ll be leaving here toothless.” He snapped. I still don’t know why he hates the nickname. I cleaned my throat and abandoned that topic because I would rather not leave here toothless and asked. “So what’s up?” I picked a file I knew nothing about and went through it. “Nothing.” He replied monotonously. “Oh, please don’t tell me nothing is up. You can’t tell me the almighty Xavier Winthrop hasn’t found
XAVIER’S POV. I looked at him as he described Alyssa with so much passion, gosh why did I feel a tug in my heart if any man looks or compliments her. “And what if the nanny you’re referring to is ugly.” I arched my brows, waiting for his comeback. “Only her facial structure will be ugly, not her front or her back or even her mout....” I spanked the idiot, he always proves to be a man whore and I don’t know how I got a friend like him. “Sometimes I always forget that you’re a man whore.” I said, and he laughed “Yeah, Yeah And besides, I believe my little champ won’t take an ugly lady as her nanny, you know she has good taste like you huh.” He winked and I nodded. It’s true, Chelsea has always had good and exquisite taste in food, dresses, shoes, bags, nannies you name it. “Yeah, she really does have good taste.” I said and spaced out. I’m still angry at him, how could he describe my Alyssa like that, not the way you are thinking about it. She’s my Alyssa because she
❤️❤️ ALYSSA’S POV ❤️❤️ I rushed back to my office after receiving a shout from Mr Xavier, gosh, why didn’t I prepare his schedule for this week. I took my laptop and got to work, going through emails and messages to see who wanted to meet Mr Xavier, but I paused when I saw an email from the planning team, they requested Mr Xavier’s attention for the new product launching. What product were they launching? I scrolled through the message but couldn’t find a better explanation In case Mr Xavier asked me about the product. Maybe he knows something about the new product. I arranged the schedule according to the day and time before leaving for his office. I made to knock, but the door opened and Mr Benjamin and the human Barbie walked out. Huh, when did she come in? I asked myself. “Oh you’re back, I’m leaving now. Bye sweet cheeks.” Mr Benjamin said, waving at me as he dragged the human Barbie out. I shook my head before knocking and as he ushered me in, I opened and sauntered in
❤️ ALYSSA’S POV ❤️ “Nanny Lyssa!” Chelsea hugged me as I walked in. I hugged her back with a huge smile on my face, she was looking bright and refreshed this morning and did I add happy. “Hi baby, how was your night?” I pecked her cheeks. “It was fine.” She replied happily and I giggled. She was extremely happy this morning and I need to know the reason, is her mum back or did her dad get her, her dream toy or anything. “You are happy this morning baby, can you tell nanny the secret behind your smile.” I asked, and she giggled, twirling her strain hair with her finger. “Grandma will be coming over tomorrow, that’s why am happy” “Your grandma?” She nods “Daddy’s mother and I guess you will see my handsome daddy tomorrow.” I smiled. For the past two days, Chelsea has been going on and on how handsome and cute her dad was, and it made me curious if he was as handsome as the aloof CEO I know. “I will.” Today was a free day from the office, I decided to spend it wi
NEXT MORNING I woke up yawning hungrily, god, am so hungry this hungry. Why am I this hungry? ‘You didn’t eat dinner last night dummy’ my subconscious reminded me and I nod. Yeah right, I didn’t have the courage to ask Mr Xavier if I could eat again after that little dinner with Chelsea. I looked at the other side of the bed and saw Chelsea’s still sleeping soundly with a little pout on her lip, I chuckled and kissed her cheek. I got up and did some stretch before taking a bath, I walked out of the bathroom putting on a nude colored straight gown that showed my curves and stopped at my knee level. I don’t know how he was able to get a dress that fitted me so perfectly last night, but I’m grateful. I looked at myself in the mirror the last time then turned my attention to the bed to see if my little angel was awake yet and there she was lying on the bed wide awake. She smiled immediately she saw me. “Good morning, baby.” I walked closer and peck her cheeks. I just love doin
XAVIER. I watched the interaction between Alyssa and Chelsea, it was like that of a mother and daughter relationship and let me not talk about their matching gown and same hairstyle. Oh Charlotte, if only you were here to see how beautiful our daughter is, our princess. If only you could see her smile, laugh and cry, why did you leave us? You could have stayed and carried your daughter even for a minute. I felt a jabbed on my hand. “Daddy, grandma Lisa is here.” Chelsea yelled and dashed out of the room, I shook my head and followed her. She squealed happily as she ran down the stairs. “Chelse, what did I say about running up or down the stairs?” I asked with a frown. She paused and gave me a cute pout. “I’m sorry daddy, I was so excited to see grandma that it escaped me.” She apologized. “It’s fine, now go meet your gr.....” “Where is my little superstar?” My mum yelled as she walked in, and a smile graced her face, immediately her gaze landed on Chelsea. “Grand
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I got out of my house in a not too happy mood, getting to know Mr Xavier has a child has drained the little hope I had that we can be together. Don’t look at me, a girl can have dreams too. I can’t believe he made me an idiot by playing me, he knew I was working for him but didn’t say anything, he made me believe that Chelsea was just his god-daughter. What a big fool you are, Alyssa, a big fool. I begrudgingly entered the cab and told him the mansion’s address and when I got there I paid the cabby man, knocked and the guards opened the gate for me with a smile. I couldn’t help but smile back, it isn’t everyday you see giant, strong men with thick muscles smiling at you. I opened the door and came face to face with him, the one bothering my thoughts since, and immediately I set my eyes on him, the anger, betrayal, and hate left my body. All I could see was the guy or rather the man I like. I stared at him for some time before walking in fully and that’s when he took n
XAVIER. I stormed out of the dining room angrily, it bothers me that everything she does reminds me of her. The way she acts, the way she talks, her long hair and those lips. Everything reminds me of her and I don’t like it, I can’t think of other woman when I made a promise to her before her demise and today for instance, she prepared food that taste the way as Charlotte's. Oh god, I’m losing it, I’m definitely losing it. I sat on my bed holding my head and I gaze met the picture on the lamp stand, I picked it up and stared at it. It was a picture of Charlie and me on our honeymoon, the third day think, and I stared at her face, the beautiful smile and eyes filled with love. Why can’t I get over you? I’ve missed you so much, why did you leave me, huh? I rubbed my hand in the picture. “You are thinking about her again.” I heard mum’s voice and I raised my head from the picture. I didn’t know when she came in. “Xavi, you know it has been five years since she left, so why are
