~ Andrea ~

The rest of the day was spent talking and bonding the most. The room was filled with laughter. I smiled watching the man in front of me, laughing his pains away.

Night came by real quick. Derrik and his dad had everything set for the date night. The room was decorated with roses. This was just like the date I imagined with my husband when I settle down in years to come. Derrik was doing all that. In just a few days, we were building something. I felt an irresistible attraction towards him and I felt he did too.

“Andrea, do you like this?” He was nervous. Derrik King was nervous. This was the first time I'd see him like this and I was happy it was because of me and not some other lady.

“I love it. This is perfect Derrik, so perfect.” He held my hand and stared at me intently, the longest stare ever. His eyes were filled with so much emotion. Love. Fear. Betrayal. I didn't know what to think of it.

“I wish I could stay like this with you for the past coming years.” He spo

    ~ Andrea ~Valentine!I woke up to the sound of my cell ringing. It was none other than Valentine, my best friend. It was almost seven and I was late for work. Derrik didn't bother to wake me up. “Girl !!” She exclaimed excitedly the moment I answered the call. Valentine has always been my confidante. She stood by me during tough times in my childhood and I was heartbroken when she broke the news about traveling out of the country with her parents. I had no other choice than to wish her the very best since I could do nothing to stop her. It's been close to four years since she left the country. Within these years, we fell widely apart and hardly communicated. I was surprised to see her call and happy as well. “Vale, is this really you?” My bottled up emotions were coming out. ‘Vale’ was my own special name I gave her when we were young. “Yes, baby. It's me!” She screamed. That was typical of her, always screaming and exclaiming at little things. “And I have good news for you ba

    ~ Andrea ~I knocked when I got to the door and waited for a reply until one came after the long wait. “Come in,” Derrik's reply came from inside the office when I knocked. I entered only to find him with his head on the desk. “You called for me Sir.” “You still don't have to address me as ‘Sir’ after everything.” All this while, he had his head on the desk. Maybe he was sick or stressed. I was concerned and could not help but ask. “Are you alright?” I waited for a response but nothing came so I moved closer to him and patted his shoulder. “Derrik, are you alright?” He held my hand and nodded but that wasn't enough assurance. Just when I was thinking of how to get him to talk, he rose abruptly and kissed me, lightly. I was surprised by his action that I turned only to find him smiling. “I just wanted to see you Andrea. I know I left the house without you and I’m sorry.”I didn't know what to say or how to feel. I was seated on his lap this time around as he spoke. “I want us

    ~ Andrea ~We got to the beach house moments later and it wasn't like I imagined. Yes, it was more than that! These rich people have their properties speaking for them. I gaped at the sight of the interior decoration. Damn! It has large windows, the lightning was warm and welcoming but spoke volumes about who owned the house. I circled the place thoroughly for about three times. It had four bedrooms and a wide parlor. The kitchen was spacious as well with different electronics to make cooking easier. The furniture! Plush Sofas and armrest. The wine cellar had different drinks I had never seen nor heard about. I walked towards the cellar and took a wine with bold inscriptions ‘Brooklyn Winery’. “Don't tell me you want to try that?” Derrik suddenly comes behind me causing me to exclaim in shock. “Aaah!” I held my chest to calm myself after realizing it was just Derrik. “You scared me.” I returned back to checking the wines ignoring his presence and the question he posed earlier.

    ~ Andrea ~Valentine called an hour ago to inform of her arrival this morning. I couldn't allow her into Derrik's house without his permission. I suggested she go to my family's place but she insisted on staying at the hotel and I had no choice but to agree. I can't force her to do something against her wish. Derrik and I were just about to leave the beach house since he was already receiving calls from his father concerning our whereabouts. “Derrik,” I called for his attention as he was busy dressing up. “Mm..” He mumbled giving a go ahead for me to speak. “I won't be in the office until afternoon.” He turned to look at me with raised brows. “My friend is coming over and I was thinking of catching up with her.”“Who is this friend?” He groaned and tightened his fist as if ready for a fight. “A friend from school. Valentine. That's her name.” “Oh,” I watched as he released his fist and mumbled. If I didn't know better, I would have said he was jealous. “We have to work on the

    ~ Andrea ~“I got a job at a very reputable place and thankfully, I am now able to take care of the family.” I started filling her in. “Do you ever think about yourself? Does your life only revolve around your family?” Vale asked, rolling her eyes. “Listen Andrea, you have to think about yourself now. About your life and how you want it to end. I know you have so much planned out but you are thinking of sorting your family out first.” She held my hand this time rubbing it. “You have every right to take care of your family but do try to dedicate some moments to yourself.” This was why I was able to be friends with Vale all these years. While I was always thinking about my family, she was watching my back and finding ways to convince me into doing things for myself. To be honest, she was right. Everything I have ever done till date was in favor of my family and not myself. “That aside, tell me more Andrea.” I knew she was trying to change the topic and I appreciated that. “Well..

    ~ Andrea ~ “You are what?!” She screamed, banging her fist on the table, her face all red. I was shocked at the intensity of her fist coming in contact with the table. “Calm down Vale.” “Calm down? Really Andrea? So it was really true. You got married without telling me anything. It was all over the news and I needed to confirm everything from you. You didn't think of inviting me, your best friend.” She really was annoyed. “I am sorry. It was so sudden.” “Aah! I am happy for you!” She changed almost immediately. Now you understand why I said she knew how to play with emotions. She scared me with that act from earlier. I thought she was going to strangle me. “But tell me, how come you got married to your boss?” She raised her brow in curiosity. “It's a long story Vale but I will definitely fill you in some other day.” “I have to meet uo with my brother-in-law soon and warn him not to hurt you or even think abiut hurting you else, he is so dead!” I watched h

    ~ Andrea ~“I was following your lead Mr. King.” I replied, ignoring his attitude. “You don't have to be so formal, yuuno.” He had locked me in between a thin space and I had no way of escape. “We are at the office Sir.” “I know that but you are an exception.” He leaned in slowly and I closed my eyes anticipating a kiss. “Let's get going Miss Andrea.” I opened my eyes only to find him ahead of me, heading to the room. He is such a tease. “A**hole.” I mumbled. “I heard that.” Like I care duhh! ******As expected, everybody was around. I looked around taking everybody into detail. There were so many people here that I got nervous looking at all of them. Derrik took a seat while I stood forgetting I was no longer the Personal Assistant in front of the board. It was until Derrik lightly tapped my hand that I was reminded of the situation at hand. Everybody was busy staring at me at this rate. Probably with lots of questions unanswered. “Good day everyone.

    ~ Andrea ~I felt something was wrong. I was sure I had everything in place. What if someone did this? I was back to my office now. Derrik was giving me a cold shoulder because of the mistake I made. I decided to call Valentine. At least, she will cheer me up. “Andrea!!” Valentine screamed excitedly. “Vale,” My voice cracked with emotions as I called her name. “Baby, are you okay?” Vale asked, noticing my tone. “I am not Vale. I really need someone to talk to. Can I come over to the hotel?” I whispered. “Yes baby. I will be waiting for you.” Her voice is like a soothing balm, easing my worries. I strode out of my office, my heels clicking the pavement. I had to ask Derrik for permission even though he was angry. I was almost in front of Derrik's office when I saw Isabella. It's been a while since I saw her. She gazed at me with a sly mischievous smile walking up to me. “See who we have here. Our very own personal assistant who seduced her boss.” This lady has been gone for th

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The night the troubles began

    ~ Andrea ~It's been eight months since my agreement with Derrik. I don't know where this is going anymore. We both agreed it was going to be a fake relationship but I was catching feelings and I don't know if it is a mutual feeling or perhaps, a one-sided feeling. We do things real couples do in their married life. We go on dates and make love countless times but I don't know where this stands. Just four months. Four months and everything will be over. I stared in the mirror, my hair in an updo bun, dressed for yet another day for work. If all this ends, do I still stand a chance of keeping my job? Or do I get dismissed? “Andrea, are you still in there?” Derrik called out. I got out of the bathroom and met him seated on the bed. He stood smiling and walking towards me. He placed a light kiss on my neck. “Mm.. Andrea,” He mumbled while kissing other places. “We have to get to work Derrik.” I pushed him slightly and I made my way outside. I was going to put a stop to all this roma

    ~ Andrea ~Derrik had asked one of his drivers to drop me off at the hotel. I got out of the car with a scarf covering my face. This has become the new normal in the past few days. I called Vale again and again. Just when I was about to give up calling, she answered. “Goodness Vale!” I exclaimed in relief. You scared me . Are you okay? I have been trying to reach you since yesterday.” No amount of words can express how happy I was right now. “I am fine Andrea. I lost my phone yesterday.” “Thank goodness you are safe. I am in front of the hotel you are lodged in.” I told her. “In front? Why?” She sounded a bit off. “Like I said before, I was worried and wanted to check if you are Alright.” I answered, confused by her reaction. “Stay right there. I will be out in a minute.” She hung up leaving me both confused and worried but I still waited as she said. “Hey,” She was breathing heavily like someone who had been chased. I looked at her closely to check if she really was okay and i

    ~ Andrea ~Used me as a bait really? As per what? What shocked me was the fact that it wasn't Carl. I mean, I heard his conversation that day. Argh! I was just so stupid. How did I expect the Adelaine to be the same as the one leaving bad reviews. It's not like there is only one Adelaine in the whole world. Derrik was just too much. He knew who was behind this and still gave me a hard time. I needed someone to talk to and the only person that came to mind was Valentine. I called her and waited for her to answer but she didn't even after the third ring which was surprising. Vale always answers my call no matter what. Maybe she was just busy and will return the call afterwards. I was still looking at my phone screen to see if she would call when I heard a knock on my door. “Come inside,” I was thinking it might be Derrik turns out it was Carl. I am so ashamed to stand before him right now. “Hey,” I said nervously. “You don't have to be nervous around me, Andrea. I understand you

    ~ Derrik ~I was going to meet Adelaine in the same bookshop I had met her. Just hope I will be able to catch the culprit on the spot. I drove through the familiar environment with amazing scenery as always. I walked towards the bookshop. This is the only way to get hold of him red handed. When I entered, Adelaine ushered me to a place in the bookshop. “You will be able to hear everything from this angle. Make sure you make good use of it Mr. King. I am counting on you. ” She said.I was still in the same area waiting to hear something. I was on the verge of giving up when I heard them talk. “Why did you call me here, Adelaine? You know it's risky.” The voice said. I peeped through the little hole to get hold of the face of this person but it was a little impossible. I knew who it was but needed to confirm. I had started recording immediately I heard their footsteps. “I can't do this anymore please. I can't continue spreading false news about someone who did me no wrong.” Adelain

    ~ Derrik ~I saw Andrea leave the office alone without informing me and I don't blame her. It was because of my actions earlier so I take the blame. I decided to catch up with Brian so I called him for a meet up. He answered on the very first ring. “You care for a meet up Brian?” I asked and waited for a response. “Yes, why not? It's been a while since we went out together. The usual Irish club?” “Yes. I will be there soon.” We ended the call. I sat in the car and drove to Irish. As always, Brian was there when I arrived. We went to our usual VIP spot. “I got us some wine.” Brian said as I settled. “Who is responsible for the rumors?”I looked at Brian for a while before telling him who it was. “That is quite surprising. Are you sure that's the right person?” Brian asked. “Yes. I am very sure. I just want him to hold unto the bait I have set and when he does, I won't let him off the hook easily.”“What are you planning on doing?”“If he went to that extent to destroy me, why wo

    ~ Andrea ~That evening, I went home alone. I was thinking about going to my formal place but that will raise too many questions I am not ready to answer. “You came back alone?” Mr. Johan asked, still focused on the television. “Yes. Derrik should be here soon.” I didn't wait for any reply. The only thing I wanted was to get a good rest after the stressful day. I wasn't hungry or mayne I lost appetite for ang food right now. The cold water was a pain relief as I settled in. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep in the tub until I heard a knock that woke me. I knew it was Derrik so I didn't bother to respond till I heard it the third time and decided to check out who it was. It wasn't Derrik like I had expected but rather Miss Karen. “You haven't eaten anything Andrea. I brought you food.”“Thank you Miss Karen but I don't have the appetite for anything now. Can you please take it out?” I was dressing up while speaking with Miss Karen. She ignored me and set the food on a table on

    ~ Andrea ~I wanted to know what was wrong with Rosie but she obviously wasn't going to tell me. I went to the office and started surfing the internet just to check if things were okay. I had to speak to Carl about it so I went to his office. I met Carl on the phone with someone but he hid it immediately he saw me. Why is everybody acting weird in this office? “Hey Carl, did I disrupt your call?” I asked. “Oh no, you didn't. Anyway, why are you here?”He sounded relieved. “I wanted to ask if the reviews are still coming out good.”“Yes they are.”“Okay then. That is all I need to know. I will get going now.” Something told me to stay behind and what I discovered was shocking. I still had my ear in the door when it opened revealing Carl. “You are still here Andrea?” “Oh yes. I am going to my office now.” I rushed to my office and waited for Derrik to return. I was starting to be impatient when he wasn't coming so I went to his office to wait for him. I was deep in thought when I h

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Setting the bait

    ~ Derrik ~ I woke up to see the other side of the bed empty. Meaning Andrea was awake already. Thinking she might be downstairs, I washed up and got ready for work. I went to the kitchen when I did not see her at the parlor. The kitchen was empty as well. I saw dad on the couch and decided to ask him. “Good morning dad. Have you seen Andrea?” He turned from the television program he was watching to look at me. “Yes. She left for work without having breakfast. Is everything okay between you two? What about the spreading rumors?” Dad asked. “We are working on it and yes dad, everything is okay between us. I have to rush to the office now. I will let you know if there is anything.” I drove to work this time around without my driver. Getting to the office, I went straight to Andrea's office and met the office empty. Where could she have gone to? If she left home, then she should be at the office..or maybe she is with her family. It was at this moment it dawned on me that I had nobod

    ~ Derrik ~I met Andrea in my office when I went there. She looked restless. “Is something the problem?” I inquired. “Oh you are back.” She jumped up in surprise when she heard my voice. “Yes I am. Why are you here?” I took a seat across from her. “I–I was waiting for your return.” She shuttered. I felt there was something wrong with her. She has been acting weird since the news about the review came out. Does she have a hand in it? No, no. I don't think she will do something like that. “Andrea, you have been acting weird lately. Are you sure there is nothing wrong?”“I am fine Derrik. I will go to my office now.” She rushed out immediately. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes. Soon, everything will be settled. I still had my eyes closed when I heard my phone ring. Brian. It's been a while since I heard from Brian. Ever since we had an argument about Andrea, we hardly speak to each other. I know it was foolish of me to think Andrea was trying to destroy my friendship
