As soon as I get up, I change into my gym wear and go downstairs to my workout room. I turn on the treadmill, get on it, and work out for twenty minutes. Next, I lift 20-pound dumbells and when I am done, I go back upstairs to my room, take a shower, shave and get out. I go downstairs in my robe for an apple, with a towel wrapped around my head. On getting to the living room, I turn on the TV and watch the news. It is 11:20 when I check my phone, only to see two messages from Andre.
"Meet me at the new coffee place around cone Avenue"- 8:00 am
"Let's meet there at twelve noon"- 10:00 am.
Shit!. It’s almost twelve, don't wanna make a bad impression. I better get ready.
I run upstairs, dry, and curl my hair. I don a short, wine-colored gown and black flats. I put my phone in my purse and grab my car keys. I run downstairs, get in my car, and drive to Cone Avenue. It is exactly 11:59 when I ar5rive at the rendezvous. I scan the room for Andre and see him in another section of the store guarded by a bodyguard, waving at me and at the same time beckoning on me to come over. I go over there and the bodyguard lets me in. I'm really nervous, I've never had such an official, high-class job before.
"Good afternoon, you're right on time, please sit" I don't even realize that I am still standing.
"Thank you" I sit and tuck a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.
"You do that a lot. Don't you?"
"What?" I ask in confusion.
"Never mind. Now to the reason why we're here i's like to run over some major rules for you".
"I'm all ears"
"ONE there should be no romantic relationship between the employer and the employee"
What?!. No, no, no, no, no why?.
"Will that be a problem?" he asks, eyeing me warily.
"No sir, not at all"
"Ok then TWO, the assistant is to report to the boss' home for personal work" personal work? What the hell does he mean by personal work.
"Sorry. I have a question, sir?"
"About what?"
"What do you mean by personal work?" He looks at me and laughed.
"Oh. I work from home sometimes so I might need you at home" Oh, that makes sense.
"Ok,"
"Three,”
Aargh, when is this going to end?. I got uninterested in his rules the moment I knew no romance was part of them. He takes a sip of his coffee, gracefully lifting the teacup and the saucer and wiping his mouth with a serviette.
"Lateness to work will not be tolerated. I have zero tolerance for tardiness but I can see that won't be a problem for you right?"
"Not at all sir"
"You haven't even touched your coffee yet"
"Oh, I didn't realize" I lift the cup and the saucer to my lips, and before thinking, I take a huge sip. It cruelly burns my tongue. Thank God I didn't spit all over him.
"Ow, Oh my God it's so hot" In the process of placing the cup down the rest of the boiling hot coffee pours on me. I can feel the hot liquid flowing from my chest down to my stomach leaving a painful burning sensation in its wake. Andre stands up and comes over to my side, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" He motions to a waiter, "Can I get a guess of cold milk as soon as possible?".
He picks up a serviette from the table and wipes my face and chest with it. This makes me forget all of the pain for a few seconds. The waiter came with the cold milk.
"Drink this, it should help" he advises, putting the glass to my lips.
"Thanks" I down the glass and it does help.
"Sorry, I'm so clumsy today. I'm not normally like this" I apologize, totally embarrassed.
"It's okay"
He thanks and pays the waitress. I think it’s time to go. I stand up quickly.
"Wait," Andre says.
"What?" I ask, not knowing why he stopped me.
"Nothing, it is just that you have a little milk at the corners of your lips," He says and I wonder why and how his eyes got to my lips. Maybe my forbidden lover loves me too. I try to get it but he stops me.
"Don't worry I'll get it"
He moves closer, holds my face in his left hand, picks a napkin, and wipes the corners of my mouth. As he removes his hand, his thumb brushes my lower lip and I get goosebumps from his touch. I freeze, unable to move.
"Thanks", is the only word that comes out of my mouth.
"Are you ok?" He asks looking me right in the eyes.
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing" he replies and motions to his bodyguard.
Ok, I'm definitely sure I'm crushing on this guy.
"Well I guess should get going. See you on Monday at 8:30sharp"
"Okay sir," I say and we leave the coffee shop.
"You should suck on an ice cube later" Ice cube?? Now I'm confused.
"What?"
"For your tongue"
Oh...
"Oh, thanks” I turn quickly and walk to my car.
He gets into his car and left. How come he doesn't have a driver....weird... I got in my car, went home, and spend the rest of the day thinking about my 'FORBIDDEN LOVE'.

FORBIDDEN Chapter four
Chapter four I wake up on Sunday morning and pay a visit to 'THE GRILL' That is the name of the restaurant that I used to work. It’s a family restaurant owned by the 'Buyers'. I bump into Mrs. Buyers almost immediately after I enter the restaurant. "Freya!” she exclaims. “it’s so good to see you, did you get the job?" "Yes," I reply happily, and she smiles, giving me a warm hug. "I knew you could do it, congratulations" "Thanks" "But I must say, we will miss you here at the grill" "I know but I've got to go" "Ok, go say hi to Ross, he's in the kitchen" I sigh. Ross has been asking me out since I stepped into his restaurant for a job. The only relationship I see between us is a friendship, nothing more but he doesn't seem to get the message. I walked to the kitchen. &nbs

I couldn't help but think about my new boss, Andre. He a very attractive person who loved to have everything under control. I wondered how I was going to cope with being in the same work environment as he was. It couldn't be that bad besides he made it clear nothing could happen between us. My not essentially his type of woman. He probably made up that rule when he noticed I liked him."Thank you very much" I said for the thousandth time."I don't want you going to the bar" He said in a very demanding tone. I should have protested but a part of me loved how he sounded like he actually cares for me."I'm so sorry. Thank you for saving me" I thanked him. I can't imagine what would have happened if he didn't come to my rescue the time he did.I walked round my small room to get myself ready for my first day at work. My room isn't what you can actually call small but it isn't big either. Either ways i'm comfortable with the room and I think it's beautiful. It

I hurriedly make a new cup of coffee for Andre. I still can't believe he loves his coffee with a lot of sugar and milk in it. I knock on the door to his office and wait patiently for him to permit me to come in. I didn't hear him talk, he's probably not in his office anymore. As I turn to leave I heard him moan. He is really having sex in the office. I can't believe this. "Freya" The sound of my name from his lips gave me permission to enter. "Oh shit!. I'm so sorry!" I say dropping his coffee, running out of the office. He was masturbating in the office. Andre Smith masturbates, okay, but why did he look so shocked when I entered the office?. That can only mean one thing, he was thinking about me while in the act. "Mr. Smith seeks your attention," The secretary says, smiling at me. I smile back politely as I stand up. I walk nervously to his office. I can't get that image out of my head. I knock, hoping he i

Chapter sevenIt has been two weeks since the kiss and Andre's behavior has suddenly changed. He is normally nice, maybe not so nice but nice at least. However, since the kiss, he's been so different, snaps at me a lot, complains about anything I do and I don't find all these necessary. I didn't start the kiss that day so why is he being such a dickhead?.Baxter and I have gotten a lot closer in the past weeks. I think my so-called crush for my boss has suddenly vanished. Baxter has been a really lovely gentleman. He takes me for lunch. His smile is so charming. He's always very careful with me. I just don't think I can date him. He doesn't look like someone who could satisfy me. I mean he's super gentle with me like I'm an egg that will break if touched. I don't think someone like that can ever please me sexually. I don't mean to judge but with movies and novels I read I know I would love sex a little rough."W

Baxter pulls me closer to him as we walk out of the store. I can't stop the smile that is plastered on my face."See you after work girlfriend," He says, making me laugh."See you" I smile and walk back to my office only to meet an angry-looking Andre. Why is he angry?. It is not like I am late, I still have a few minutes left from my lunch break."Good afternoon sir," He immediately clenches his jaw, folding his hand into a fist."Don't call me sir." He barks. I nod quickly."I'm sorry MR Smith" I apologize sincerely."What were my rules when you started work here Miss Stanford." He asks angrily."Errrrr... tardiness is not welcome" I state, and it comes out more like a question than an answer. He doesn't look satisfied with my answer."No romantic relationships!" He yells, causing me to flinch a little. I am scared he is going to hit me."I'm sorry MR Smith. I don't know what you're talking about" I said, confusion lacing my voice."What is it that I

I am frustrated all day. I can't get the thought of Andre out of my head. I want him and I feel bad because I'm in a relationship with someone else. Baxter already told me he would pick me up by seven pm so I decide to get dressed. I don't want to be late for my first date.I decide to go for something simple yet cute. I choose a white crop top and a body-hug skirt, matching the top. I let my hair down and pick a blue sandal, something convenient for me. I stare at myself in the mirror. Shaking my head in disapproval I changed my footwear to a different sandal. I think I'm fine. Right?I am busy battling with my curly hair when my phone starts to ring. I jump at the sound of it. I check the caller ID. I smile at the name appearing on my screen. Baxter."Hey, babe," He drawls, and. I smile."I'm almost ready," I say, brushing my hair with my hand, deciding to let my hair down."Good cause I'm at your door" I smile, hanging up the call as I run downstairs. I o

Maybe I overreacted a little. I just wanted to make my point of not being called names clear and I think I did because Baxter has been a little less controlling. Being controlled in bed is enough. I don't want him taking charge of my life as he owns it.After Andre's weird talk the other day, I have decided to pay him no mind. I will ignore him till he gets sick of poking into my business."Miss Stanford are you with us?" Andre asks with a frown on his face. He doesn't look too happy, neither do the business partners. I smile nervously and nod."Yes. where were we?" I say with a smile. The business partners don't look too happy about what just happened. After the meeting, Andre calls me into his office."Miss Sandford, " He said not sparing me a glance before entering his office. I follow him and stand in front of him as he sits on his chair. The image of him jerking himself comes to my mind making my cheeks burn a bright red. Geez."I won't tolerate this be

I run after Baxter, tears rolling down my eyes. I meet Andre on my way out. He stands in my way, unmoving, and I sent him a glare, daggers shooting out of my eyes.."Do you mind!" I yell, not caring about the fact that I can be heard by the other employees."Trust me, you don't want that asshole in your life especially after what just happened, " Andre says."Are you kidding!. My boyfriend just saw us and all you can say is not to go after him!" I scream in frustration. I try going around him to leave but he pulls me back forcefully."As much as I love that you are stubborn I won't let you make this bad decision, " He says, clenching his jaw. I roll my eyes."I'm going to sue you for sexual harassment if you don't let me go!" He rolls his eyes before letting me go."Whatever happens to you is nothing but your mistake." He says, leaving me as confused and angry as ever. I follow Baxter. I know he would have gone home. Baxter is a nice guy and this

Scared I stay still and let the tears fall. He’s going to kill me. This is how I’m going to die. He caresses my face with a smirk.“I always wondered what you saw in him but I see it now. He’s rich and you want all of his money” He started. I shake my head no. I don’t want his money you asshole I thought.“Tell your husband I will be coming for what’s mine” He informs me. I nod with tears still falling.“Good girl” He drops me and I fall hand on the floor. I quickly stood up holding my phone as I run back to Andre who I see standing. I ran to his arms scared.“What took you so long. I_” He starts.“Wait” He pulls me away from him staring at my shaken s

“Where do I begin?” He asks.“How did you meet her? Did she work for you?” I ask. He nods.“Ok. So Samantha and I have been friends for years now. Since I was a teenager and when dad he was thinking of opening a new company in New York I was excited because I had started learning about family business. I hoped to work for him. With Samantha’s help we were both able to convince dad to let us take charge of this new company. We were still teenagers so we couldn’t help with the building but dad let us think of different ideas. This was when our ‘love’ started. I think spending more time trying to mix business and school together made us closer than we were. We thought of the name for the new company until we decided A&S. Dad was glad we came up with a decision. Our plan was to become partners but my sister wasn’t too happy about this. She claimed Samantha was after the money but we were both teenagers I

“No” I groan when Andre taps me again for the thousandth time. He laughs.“Baby. You will have to stand up eventually” He explains.“I know. Must it be now?” I ask.“No love but I have plans that requires you to stand up now” This time he pulls me up.“Argh Andre you don’t love me anymore” I whine when I seat up and rest my back on the head board.“Never question my love for you Freya because I love you but I really need you to stand up” He begs. I roll my eyes at him.“I’m up. Aren’t I?” I ask him. He smiles and places a small kiss on my lips.“Yes you are. Thanks” He smiles moving to stand up. I pull him back by his neck and place my lips on his. He does not waste time to return my kiss. His hands now on the bed caging me in.“That’s a big temptation love but we need to start our day” He sa

After dinner and Andre realised I will not admit his food tastes better, he gives up and lays on the bed.“You’re forgetting something” I remind him but he still looks very lost.“You promised me a message” I frown at him. He sighs.“Fine,” he says and I jump on him making him scream.“Fuck! Freya” he protests and I laugh, making a move to stand up. He sits up and stretches.“Argh Freya, what's got you this excited?” He asks.“You” I whisper to him.“You know I must say you're good with your words” is he really saying that?. He has the best words ever. I only grin as I remove my PJs and lay bare naked on the bed. Andre checks through his bag and brings out a bottle of oil. He walks over to the bed and kneels above my head. I am laying with my back on the bed.

He's not wrong.“That blush on your face shows that I am right” He grins.“Whatever. I’m not going to miss this flight because of you” I say smiling. I carry my box and bag and he does the same. After going through all the necessary procedures we both wait. Our flight was called for takeoff so we both run to catch up.

“Mmm,” I whimper still swirling at my face.“What is the problem?” he asks mildly, sitting up on the bed to scoot close to me.“Nothing just...just__” I break down again in tears. He holds me to himself and let me cry all I want. After some time, I look at him“I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking about my ex and all he did to me” I sniff. He reaches out to the side table to bring out a napkin which I use to dab at my eye. “ He abused me so much Drè. I don't know how am ever going to forget what that monster did to me.

I peek at him from under my thick dark lashes“You are cheating. If you won't obey, then you are not ready for the surprise” He surmises and comes back to sit on the bed.

I smile as I look at my husband with his eyes closed still in a deep slumber. My mind went to last night the way I was squirming under him when we were entangled in our blissful moment. As I think about it now I can't help but feel that everything is thrilling.I still can't believe that Andre is my husband. My smile becomes wide “Yes!” I say, slightly covering my mouth so that I won't wake him up. I stretch my hand to brush the stray hair that had fallen to his face. He is so beautiful even in his sleep.I yawn and gently climb out of the bed.I enter the bathroom to ease myself. As am coming out, Andre stretches his hands up and yawns probably to release tensed nerves. He looks at me and smiles.“Good morning beautiful ,” He says to me. My cheeks become red and I hide my face away. I was thinking by now I would get used to us, but from what am seeing, am still very shy around him.&nbs

CHAPTER 60I believe every repentant or good person deserves to be happy. We all have our shortcoming and imperfections and that is what makes us human. I have been given a chance to be happy, despite all that has happened, despite my imperfections. I judged Rob and Johnson wrongly without sitting Rob down to hear him out and without studying Johnson well enough to know who he really is before judging him.If I have not been given a chance to be happy again, then I won't be here, walking down the aisle in Jonhson's arm to become the wife of no other person than my very own heart desire. The only man whose voice can wake me up from whatever slumber I fall into. The only man that understands my silence, even when my mom is trying hard to figure out what it means. The only man that is patient and kind and understanding. The only man that can accomodate all my excesses, my moodswings and bad behaviour.I am walking down the aisle right down, my left hand in Johnson's arm
