His gaze held me. Fine dark eyes. Those eyes… where had I seen them… Then it hit me. The snob at the club. What was he doing in Mr Hendricks house and in the young Master's room? Wait… Was he an old servant I hadn't met or a new man servant? I scanned him. He looked nothing like a servant. The aura from him felt nothing like the one a servant could possess. His eyes pinched and he took a step towards me. "Did you not just hear me? What are you doing in my house?" His tone was icy. His house? There was only one person aside from Mr Hendricks that could say those words... Young master, Jay Adams! I looked at him again and the resemblance struck me. My jaw hung open and for a moment I felt my body go numb. *********** Jay Adams was a perfect man. More like a demigod that commanded both wealth and power. swooned over him and wanted a taste of him but he hated . He does not believe in love. Beneath the tough exterior, beneath his million dollar tuxedo and his coldness were his flaws. And then there was Karen, a complete opposite of him. Poor with a sick father, a sister to cater for and saddled with debts. What will happen when these two cross paths?

Chapter 1

KAREN ANDERSON

KAREN ANDERSON 

"Boss, she is here."

I heard the man that has led me in said to another man who was seated on a sofa. He was sipping from one of the glasses filled with liquor and ice. 

And it was he that I came to find. 

He was called Capon, a loan shark. He lowered the glass of wine back onto the table, reached for the saucer that held the remains of finished cigarettes and a fresh fat cigar stick and slipped into his mouth. 

His face roughened up more than it already was and his eyes pinched as the heavy smoke escaped his nostrils and mouth dancing randomly into space. 

All these while he acted like he never saw me, like I wasn't even standing before him. 

My teeth gritted but that was as much as it could go. 

"Capon hates to be interrupted. You must wait until he speaks to you before you speak." His man, the one that led me in had told me right at the door before we walked in. 

My eyes darted across the large room. It was the VIP section of the nightclub. Only the elites dared to step foot into the place. 

Somehow it was worth it. 

The atmosphere was calm and light music played in the stereo from one corner of the room unlike in the other section where I had passed that had the music loud. 

There were a few other men in the places. They all looked wealthy. A few of them were smoking and drinking while others had ladies in between their thighs smooching away. Some of the men looked really older than the girls. 

I noticed a hint of discomfort from one of the girls. 

The man was particularly large in size in contrast to her tiny self and was squeezing her breasts very aggressively, with a satisfied mischief grin plastered in his fat face. Like one that hadn't been opportuned to see a firm breast in his entire life. Men like this disgusted me a lot. 

Then I wondered why she couldn't say no, and why exactly she was there instead of landing a slap on the geezer's face and stomping away. 

But I knew better than to judge her. Sometime ago, I almost found myself in her position. 

Something bitter stirred in the walls of my stomach and my teeth gritted in my jaw. 

Moments like this had my blood boiling but then I remembered I had my own worries to face. I pulled my gaze away from them and back to Capon. 

His fingers were adorned with different kinds of rings. I wondered how much each of them cost. Maybe one of it could even afford one of father's medicine. 

If only I could have just one of it…

"Miss, did you bring my money?"

Capon's voice came halting my thoughts. 

I blinked and my eyes settled on him. My lips had become too heavy, and my throat dried up. But my knees didn't as I quickly fell on them. 

"Please sir, give me one more chance. I promise to get the money and bring to you…just one more chance is all I ask…"

Capon scoffed with irritation. "One more chance…you all always ask for one more chance but you never do anything with the chance."

"No sir, I promise I will bring the money to you…"

"Or maybe you wouldn't need to…" he said and sipped slowly from his glass of drink. 

I looked up with wide eyes to meet his own, unsure of what I just heard him say. Was he going to let off father's debt? My heart started to beat fast. 

"What do you mean sir?"

He dropped his glass of wine back on the table and faced me. 

"You are not a kid. You know what I'm saying…"

I forced a thick swallow down my throat and bit down on my lower lip. I would have wondered if he was suddenly possessed. I have heard stories about Capon and he had never, ever let off a debt. Never. The only time as I heard he ever let off a debt was when he wanted a sex mate. More like a slave mate.

"I'm sorry, sir but I don't understand you," I said, keeping my voice as calm as I could. 

I watched as his face formed into a thick frown. He lifted his glass and began to sip from it again. He made sure to down the entire content before he started to speak again. His man rushed over and refilled his glass. 

"Look here, I am a businessman and I don't have time for this. Pay up your father's debt if you still wish him to be alive."

His tone was hostile. 

"I will pay you sir, just give me a little time…please…" I pleaded.

He glanced at me and tapped the seat beside him.

I looked at him in confusion.

"Come and sit here," he said.

I stood up from the floor and slowly I made my way to he spot he had tapped. I sat two inches away from him. I was aware of myself, of my short gown. 

For the first time since I stepped into the room, my body felt the impact of the air conditioner even when it actually had been there all along. The coldness struck the bareness of my flesh, my exposed laps. I immediately regretted not listening to my inner self. I held my two legs tight against each other. 

He patted on the seat again, closer to him and nodded a smile at me. 

I felt myself getting jittery. I wanted to get on my feet and walk out of that place without another glance behind me. But I knew I couldn't. 

I pushed myself closer to him, still making sure to give a little distance between us. 

"What if you don't have to pay your father's debt anymore?" He asked, glancing at me. 

My heart started to beat fast again. The excitement came bubbling inside me again and I imagined what it would be like to not have to pay up father's debt anymore. It would be an impossible wish come true. I would have loved to use the money to get myself and Lilly new clothes and then we would go somewhere fun with father and have fun… but that was a luxury we couldn't afford even if Capon scraped off father's debt. 

"You are young and beautiful and you shouldn't let your old man's debt pull you down. You like nice clothes huh? You know, nice shoes, nice things. I could even get you a nice house. Yeah?"

His hand started to move, towards me, slowly as he spoke and finally it rested on my lap. 

"You like nice stuff, don't you?"

I nodded slowly, stifling down the bitter bile of anger that had started to surge through me. 

My fist curled up tightly and gripped the fabric of the sofa hard.

"Yeah, all of them nice things. I can get it all for you… I know you will like them and you won't have to worry about your old man's debt. I will take care of you…"

He was slowly touching my laps as he spoke. I felt my body hot from anger. My eyes fixed on the bottles and glasses on the table. A stretch and I would reach any of it and smash it on his head. 

But each time I tried to reach any of it, father's face flashed before me. His face when he was in pain and agony. His face when he needed a new set of drugs. His face when it was time for his monthly medical checkup. 

The door of the Vip section flung open and a woman marched in looking really furious. 

I watched as Capon's hands flew away from my laps and he scrambled to his feet.

"What…how…I mean what…" he stuttered facing the woman. 

I regarded the woman. The woman that had the power to bring Capon to his feet and trembling. I was surprised. 

She looked classic and just like Capon, she adorned her neck and fingers with a little too much jewellery. Different kinds of bangles dangled in her wrists that I imagined the clank clank sound coming out each time she moved her hands. Her face was masked with a heavy makeup that looked cakey and uneven. I couldn't let myself imagine what it would look like if she mistakenly got drenched in rain. It would be a disaster. 

But that was the least of my worries as she had turned towards me now and was shooting me a glare. 

"I'm sorry, boss, I tried to stop her…" Capon's man was saying but was shut up almost immediately as Capon shut him a deadly glare. 

"You didn't tell me…" Capon started to say. 

The woman shoved him away and walked past him stopping before me. 

"You, isn't it enough that your miserable self can't pay up a debt. Now you choose to seduce my husband?" 

What? Husband? His wife?

I looked at the woman and then at Capon and back at the woman again and it immediately sank in. The famous Capon's wife that even the Capon himself dreaded. 

I got to my feet realising the danger I had fallen into. 

"I'm sorry, ma'am…I only came here to ask for another chance to…"

She lifted a glass of drink on the table, tried emptying the content on me but stopped halfway. 

"I will write off

your debt if you can do anything I ask you to…" 

I didn't let myself get excited. The only thing I smelt from her offer was danger.

A DARE OR TRAP
KAREN ANDERSONI refused to let myself get excited about her offer. All I smelt from it was danger. She scanned around the place looking for what I had no idea about. "How about you show me your skills… go ahead, seduce that man over there successfully and I will write off your debt," she said and as though she hadn't said the most ridiculous thing ever, she lifted the glass onto her lips and gulped down the entire content of it. I looked at her, hoping she would tell me she was joking. Only that she didn't look one bit like she was joking. "What are you doing? You won't do it? Oh, I thought you were desperate to write off your debt. I guess I thought wrong…""I will do it…" I blurted. Yes, I wasn't thinking straight. Anyone in my shoes had no right to be thinking straight."I will do it," I repeated as if she hadn't heard me the first time. She chuckled and lowered herself onto the sofa. Where her husband had stood from. Capon was still standing and with his eyes pleading, hop

WORK IN THE ADAM'S MANSION
KAREN ANDERSON"Sis! Wake up!"I heard my sister's voice in my dream. But It sounded too close. Too real to be just a dream. I rolled away, away from the sound. But it came again. This time, closer than the first time. Then I felt something spank my body and my eyes fluttered open from the sudden pain."Lily?" I mumbled, staring up at the brown eyes before me. "Do you know what the time is right now?" She asked with a deliberate frown. I rubbed my eyes. I still wanted to sleep. My eyes felt heavy. It was as though I had just shut my eyes to sleep only to be woken up. "Time? Why?" She sighed exasperatedly. "It's almost 8:00am. Aren't you going to work today? Big sis, don't tell me you have been fired?" She added with a suspicious frown. Work? "Work!" I jumped up from the bed. "Shit! How did I oversleep…" I dashed into the bathroom and turned on the shower and began to bathe. "I did the chores and helped dad take his bath and eat. Eat something before you leave for work! I'm

FIRED
KAREN ANDERSON "Who are you?"I heard a commanding voice behind me. Startled, I turned sharply to see a pair of unfriendly dark eyes shooting right up at me."Shit!"I quickly started to climb down the ladder. But I mistakenly missed a step and my grip on the ladder went loose the next second. I heard the creaking sound from the ladder and felt my feet slipping away from the rungs of the ladder and next I saw my dear self flying in the air. My heart raced as a sense of dread enveloped me. And the only thing I imagined that moment as I fell was being moved around in a wheelchair. Just like Dad. The tears in Dad and Lilly's face. How Capon and every other debtee we owed will run riot in our home and our house would be taken. Lily would drop out of school. Father's treatment will stop and…"What are you doing? Won't you get down?""Huh…"My eyes flicked open and I was met with a scowling face and strong arms holding me up. Frightened, I jumped with my buttocks nearly landing roughly

ANYTHING FOR THE PAYCHECK
KAREN'S POV"I'm sorry, Karen. You can't work here anymore."Mr Hendricks turned and walked back into his room. I watched, rooted to the spot and only heard the faint sound of the door as it went shut. Everything else went blank. My body went cold as the realization of what had just happened began to dawn on me. I had other part time jobs but none of their pay was half close to what Mr Hendricks had agreed to pay me working part time as a maid in Adam’s mansion. "Father… Lily…" What was I supposed to do now? What was going to happen to Father's treatment and Lilly's upkeep?I forced myself to blink back to the moment. Swallowed as I felt my palms suddenly drenched. I pressed it down against my apron, turned and started out of the corridor. I was taking off my apron and trying to change back into my clothes when Mrs Caro came into the changing room."What have you done?" She queried quirkily and her lips pursed. I guessed Mr Hendricks had told her already. "I'm sorry Mrs Caro,

SECOND CHANCE
KAREN'S POV“Speak with me about what?”A voice sounded behind us. I froze. I didn't need to look to know the owner of the voice. It's iciness alone sent shivers down my spine. I wondered what would happen if I finally faced him. Ploddingly, I turned. His eyes pinched at the sight of me. Displeasure creased across his forehead. “You…what are you doing in my premises?” Okay it was now or never. I told myself and in a flash I took two steps and next I fell to my knees before him. “I'm sorry I know I shouldn't be here. But… I need this job. Please. I really need this job for my family…I beg of you. I swear I won't be a trouble and I would never step foot into your room or anywhere else I am not needed…please…”“Please Jay, can you reconsider?” Mr Hendricks threw in. “Father… you know we can't make an exception. We have been holding this tradition for years. We can't wake up one morning and make an exception for just one person.”“We humans make rules and we humans also break the

HIS PLAYFUL SIDE
KAREN'S POV“Oh, I'm sorry…I hadn't seen you coming this way…” I apologized hastily. He looked at me, his forehead crinkling with displeasure.Before he went back on his word and fired me again just for the fact that I mistakenly bumped into him, I took to my heels. He could be that crazy. “Miss Karen,” He called and I halted.“I let you work here but I never said you were allowed to show your face before me. Don't let me see your face in this house until you leave.”What was I supposed to do? Cut off my face? Disappear magically at the sight of him? Or maybe develop some extraordinary sense of smell so that when I sniff him around, I would vanish. Did he think I would willingly wish to bump into him?He was a nightmare!Damn him!“And, are you just getting to work now?”“Uh, I… I'm sorry. It's just…”He started towards me. “Are you sure you still want this job? Where is the zeal you employed to plead to get this job back?”“It won't happen again.”He stopped a few inches from me.

HIS EX
JAY'S POVI don't know. I felt like I was being unreasonable. Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at her. But that was for the best. People like her were never to be underestimated. You show them a little compassion and they go wild. But that morning I noticed she looked exhausted while I reprimanded her for being late to work. It was annoying that it kept bothering me. “She was so quick and looked so determined when she pleaded for the job. Now what? She is coming to work late and showing her face before me.” I scoffed. “Is everything alright, Chairman?” My executive assistant, Hugo Lorris inquired. “Just drive.” “Yes sir.”I picked up a magazine in the car seat beside me and began to skim through it. As usual the stock rates for the shares of Adams group was making waves in the stock market.Pleased, I shut my eyes and rested my head backwards on my seat. “How is the preparations for the redevelopment going?” I asked between shut eyes. “Everything is set sir. We can only await fo

UNWANTED VISITOR
KAREN'S POVI was going to sit for an interview later that day. Thankfully the company had informed me ahead. That morning, I set off for Adams mansion quite early. Earlier than I had ever been there for work. Neither Mrs Rhoda nor Mrs Caro or any other maid had signed in by the time I arrived. I had no idea if my arrogant boss had left for work or was still around. Not like I cared anyways. Halfway into my chores, the bell rang indicating that someone was at the door. I quickly set down the rag I held to get the door but Mr Jay beat me to it. An average tall looking man walked in. In his arms was a wooden yet fancy basket containing a flower bouquet and Chateau Lafite-Rotschild wine. He stopped as he stepped inside and flashed his teeth at Mr Jay. “Hello, Chairman Jay Adams.”“Mr Carlos Fowler. What brought you to my home this early? I reckon it must be important.”Carlos Fowler let out a short chuckle. He strode further into the house, walked to the centre table and placed t

UNGRATEFUL BOSS
KAREN'S POVWhen I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange but refreshing room. It was a somewhat familiar room making me briefly wonder in my sleepy state how I had known such a fine room in my life. My eyes fell on the backside of a familiar figure. At the same time, the figure stirred and snored lightly.I jerked and quickly sat up. A proper look around and it dawned on me that I was in Mr Jay's room. What was I doing in his room? How was I there…Last I remember I had arrived work earlier…and…oh…I sighed as it all started to come back to me. That creepy Mr Carlos. I breathed letting my eyes roam the room a bit before it finally fell on him again. He was sleeping soundly now. “Thank goodness.”When I brought him in, he looked to be at the verge of slipping into oblivion. His pulse kept on deteriorating even though he had clearly told me to not call the emergency unit. I was momentarily tempted to. I thought he was going to die. With his body burning so much came his mum
