"Isla," he called, his voice brutally stern, "you know it was a terrible mistake that shouldn't have happened in the first place. You're my best friend's daughter and he has entrusted you to my care for Pete's sake!" "Is that your excuse? But that doesn't mean we can't feel something for each other," I retorted, my voice rising. "You kissed me back, Robert. You didn't stop me; infact, you seemed to enjoy it!" Isla's dad had entrusted her to Robert Hardy, his best friend. His goal was for Isla to learn the core of handling business under the scrutiny and watchful eyes of a dear and very trusted old friend, who was to become Isla's mentor, and guardian, but Isla only saw this as an opportunity to finally be able to pursue the strikingly handsome man she has had a huge crush on ever since her young girly heart knew what it meant to feel. As she settles into Robert's world as his office assistant, sparks ignite dangerously between them as a forbidden steamy romance evolves. Their secret office affair faces a huge threat from Robert's manipulative and materialistic Ex, who also works as his manager. Amidst the uncertainty, Isla comes face-to-face with the heart wrenching secret of her very dear Robert. As she confronts this secret, her heart breaks into a million pieces on who Robert Hardy truly is. Isla also brutally finds out the most unbelievable truth about her always busy and hardworking parents. How does Isla handle the emptiness she feels, and the bile life threw directly at her face?

He's a good man

ISLA'S POVI gazed at my reflection in the full-length mirror in my lavish walk in closet, admiring the sun-kissed burnt orange beach dress Hailey had picked out for me during our recent shopping spree. Hailey, my quirky and ever-fun-loving best friend, had meticulously crafted a list of all the adventures we were going to embark on this summer. That was so typical of her.Slipping on a pair of golden strappy sandals, I hoped Hailey would approve and wouldn’t feel the need to raid my closet in search of shoes she deemed more suitable. With an amused sigh, I mentally rolled my eyes as I picked up my phone to take a picture of the sandals, planning to send it to Hailey on WhatsApp for her verdict. Just as I was about to take the photo, a knock on the door interrupted me. "Isla, could you come downstairs for a moment?" My father's voice called out. It was calm, but with a hint of urgency that made my heart skip a beat.I couldn't help but wonder what he needed to tell me. It was so unli...

Welcome
ISLA'S POVTwo weeks ago, my parents made one of the best decisions they could have for me. They decided that I move in with Robert. Ever since that moment, I had been eagerly counting down the days until it finally became a reality. The anticipation was almost unbearable, and more than once, I found myself tempted to call Robert, just to double-check if he truly meant it, or if he was simply giving in to my parents' pressure. I knew how persuasive they could be when they really wanted something. But, honestly, I wasn’t going to let that bother me.I had been dreaming of this day for so long.Still on my dilemma, my phone rang, and the name "Dad" appeared on the screen, accompanied by a single heart emoji. My heart skipped a beat."Hey, Dad!" I answered, my voice light and cheerful. I couldn't help the surge of happiness that had been with me ever since I received their approval to move in with Robert. "Hey Isla, how are you doing? Have you packed everything? Don’t forget to leave a

You're something!
ISLA'S POVI had found it easy to settle into this grand room. Obviously, Robert made an extra effort to make sure that I was comfortable in it Or wait, did this room belong to someone else? Maybe the woman in his life? She would be damned sorry because I would be turning this place into my little nest. I looked around thinking of what I might need in place. The room was filled with feminine touches, patterned lace curtains, a crystal vase filled with fresh flowers, a collection of scented candles was placed on a table at the corner of the room, it had a grand walk in closet. I thought of Robert's room and what it would look like. I was really curious. I might just as well innocently ask him to let me take a look at his room, it sure wouldn't be too much to ask for, would it? I opened my box and began filling the room with my belongings. I wasn't even half way through when I heard a gentle knock on the door. I got up and opened it, coming face to face with his piercing blue eyes. He

This isnt right!
ROBERT'S POVI wasn’t oblivious to what Isla was doing. It was clear, she was into me. I had known for years that she’d always had a certain fondness for me, even back when she was just a little girl who addressed me as "Mr. Hardy". Now, though, that had changed. She confidently called me by my first name, and there was an undeniable sensuality in the way she said it. I never imagined that this innocent fondness would evolve into something like this. Over the years, she had quietly but steadily touched my heart in ways I never could have predicted. The truth was, she made me feel... unworthy. I didn’t deserve this kind of affection, this kind of love. Not from any woman. And especially not from her. She was the daughter of my best friend, Mason Turner, the one man I respected more than anyone."Thank you for dinner, Robert," she said, her voice soft and soothing, sending a wave of warmth through me. She had just returned from the bathroom and now sat beside me on the couch. "It was d

Just a colleague
ISLA'S POVHEY, MIND PICKING YOUR GODDAMMED CALLS???It was a text message from Hailey. I hadn't even noticed it. There were 8 missed calls from her. I dropped the phone back on the bed. I wasn't in the mood to engage my best friend in a conversation. She'd definitely know I was not okay. My phone beeped again, I groaned frustratedly and picked it up with the intention of switching it off when I saw Robert's text pop up on the screen.8AM TOMORROW, YOU START YOUR JOB, DON'T BE LATE.I scoffed as I shoved the phone away. Was he going to be so formal after abruptly ending the kiss and leaving me alone, locking himself away?I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. It was another text from Robert. The time was 5:25AM, I almost screamed,what the hell!GOOD MORNING, ISLA. REMEMBER, YOU START YOUR NEW JOB TODAY. BE READY BY 8AM.My heart squeezed inside of me. What was this sudden formality for?. A job as his secretary? I wouldn't have believed it in my wildest dream, but I couldn't den

A mistake Indeed
ROBERTIt had been a difficult task ignoring her. Ever since that damned kiss, I couldn't help fantasizing what it would be like to actually have her pinned naked under me, filling her up with my huge member and having her digging her nails into my skin as I taught her the consequences of being a naughty child crossing boundaries. And I'd teach her in ways she would never forget."Who was that?"The jealousy in her voice was pretty obvious? Was my little Isla going to guard me jealously now? The thought of it made a smile curve up my lips, but it disappeared immediately."Just a colleague." I said, keeping my voice flat. We were at work, what was she thinking? After all, she was also here as my secretary.We stepped into the elevator and were joined by a group of employees. They bowed slightly at me, their eyes, filled with curiosity, were drawn to Isla and I. It was easy to feel their scrutiny. They were going to be seeing a lot of her anyway. When we reached our floor, I led her to

Drunk
ISLAFor the past seven days, after my outburst at him, Robert had done a perfect job in avoiding me. He never requested my presence in his office, never called the desk phone in my office to handle any tasks for him. He even hired a cook that was tasked with making my food and a driver that was assigned with taking me to wherever I wanted. It wasn't like I went anywhere other than work. I also had two cleaners that were always in their uniform. The house suddenly became crowded. Maybe he thought we needed company. I wasn't sure he came home ever since the incident. I only saw him once at the company garage, he was talking to the head of marketing, and had acted as though he didn't see me. Mia had excitedly informed me of Robert's instruction, which was for her to put me through all I needed to know. However, she sure took advantage of the situation. She bombarded me with series of tasks. I was expected to organize his schedule, draft countless emails, and prepare presentations for

Not your first time
ROBERTThe events of the previous night flooded back to my memory, as I made my way to the dinning section. I peered at my watch and cursed slightly. I couldn't believe what I had done. I had crossed a line, a line I had sworn never to cross again. As I made my way down the stairs, I tried to avoid thinking about her. I knew that seeing her would only stir up emotions I couldn't afford to feel. I was relieved to see that the breakfast table was set, a simple spread of toast, fruit, and coffee."Good morning Mr. Hardy," The Cook nodded and I casually waved him off.Just as I was about to pour myself a cup of coffee, I heard footsteps approaching. I braced myself, knowing it was her. I didn't want to face her, not yet. I needed time to sort out my feelings, to regain control."Morning," She greeted me, her voice sounding flat and off."Good Morning Isla." I replied, my voice barely audible. I stared at her blank eyes, keeping a straight face, hoping it would mask the turmoil within me.

Don't slack off
ISLAI entered my office, a sweet smile tugging on my lips at the thought of what had just happened. This was what I had wanted, to get a hold of him. I was all over the moon and floating. Just then, I heard a knock on the door. Of course, it had to be Mia. She walked into my office, her expression smug."I hope you're not too busy," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I need you to do something really important and real quick."Important and real quick. I mentally repeated to myself.She handed me a stack of documents, a pure look of disdain in her eyes. "I want you to proofread these reports and make sure they're error-free," she said. "And I want them on my desk by the end of the day."I took the documents, though my fingers were trembling slightly. This woman had such a hold on me. I knew this was most likely some sort of punishment, a way for her to assert her dominance. But I wasn't going to let her intimidate me."Of course," I replied, trying to sound confident. "I'll

Everyone's got secrets
ROBERTI stood in front of her door, swallowing a hard lump that was forming. Just as I reached for the doorknob, the door swung open, revealing her standing just on the other side.We both froze, our eyes locking. The surprise was a mutual one. "Isla," I began, my voice hesitant. "I was just about to... to see you."She smiled alluringly. "You were?"I nodded, my gaze shifting away. "Yeah, I wanted to talk to you."Her eyes carried a hint of surprise as she let me in. She looked up, surprise still visibly etched on her face. "Robert?" she called, her voice soft."Isla," I replied, my tone forcibly serious. "I've been receiving some... less than positive feedback about your performance."She looked taken aback, her lips slightly parted Her eyes narrowed. "From Mia?" she asked, her voice laced with sarcasm. "I'm not surprised.""It's not just Mia," I retorted. "There have been other complaints.""Complaints?" she echoed, her voice rising. "What kind of complaints? I've been working ha
