My eyes widened Instantly in shock and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Is this real? Oh my God, I can't believe it!
Did the universe finally hear my voice or cries?! This is awesome. My heart kept thumping and I quickly texted back.
(Yes please, I'm interested in the job! Where can we meet?) I replied as an overwhelming smile crossed my cheeks.
“Yes!” I blurted without realizing that some people's attention drew to me. I can't believe this, I took my luggage and stopped a cab. The moment I entered the cab, another notification popped in.
(Come to Kay coffee shop by 12pm to meet the manager) The text message said and my eyes went over to my wrist immediately. It was 11am already. I was so excited that I directed the cab driver to the coffee shop. Who cares about waiting an extra hour, besides it is not like I had any destination.
People were staring at me the moment I walked into the coffee shop with my luggage. They gave me weird gazes and I understand, I would have stared weirdly at someone if they were taking their luggage everywhere with them..
I sat down at a table and patiently waited. While I was waiting, my phone beeped, signalling me another notification.
(I'm coming back to New York tomorrow, Keira, let's meet up) That was my best friend, Elena.
(Sure) I typed back.
I waited at the coffee shop for some more time before I looked up to see a man walking towards my table. Was he the manager and did he recognise me? Well,any employer would have done research or gone through my social media profiles. I'm still surprised I got this job.
“Miss Keira?” He said, stepping closer as I stood up instantly.
“Yes…” I answered. He looked very imposing and cool. His hands clasped firmly on a briefcase.
“Please have your seat…” He demanded and I sat down, same as he.
“Care for a coffee?”
“No… I'm cool…” I blurted immediately, flashing an awkward smile.
“If you insist…” He said curtly and opened the briefcase, taking out a file as he passed it to me.
“This is the Job contract, the location, terms and conditions for the job. Please go through it carefully before signing or agreeing to the terms” He explained while handing me the document.
I grasped the document off his hand and my eyes began running through it.
It was an interior designing job as I was told but it had other things but what amazed me the most was the contract duration and the pay. I have never received a job that paid so well and for such a long duration when I worked as an interior designer before getting married to that bastard, Liam.
“I would be taking care of the penthouse?” I asked after looking up to him.
“Yes, you don't have to worry about your accommodation. A room would be provided for you in the penthouse” He replied and I twitched my lips. Everything seems to be falling in place. I was just stressing over an accommodation for the meantime. A wow fled my lips but I didn't exclaim loudly.
But then, I would be attending to the needs of the house owner as well. My mood turned aghast immediately. I would be living with the house owner?!
“Is this a mistake? The penthouse owner will be around?” I asked and he nodded.
“You don't have to worry about my Boss… You just have to be obedient and respect his privacy and rules. The penthouse doesn't need much design. It is a modern one. My Boss just wants something new and different. Apart from the $300,000 for the annual job, an extra $150,000 would be added to your account for taking care of my Boss and the penthouse” He explained. “Of course once you sign the contract.” He added.
This actually seemed too good to be true. Regardless of me dying in six months, I wanted to live my best life at least. That would be a farewell to myself. Wow… I gulped and continued going through the contract….
“He doesn't like peas? Egg yolks?” I lifted my gaze to him again.
“Boss doesn't like peas, he doesn't like egg yolks. He is allergic to them actually. Everywhere has to be neat and clean to avoid phobia. You have to cook early and I would be listing the groceries you need.” He muttered confidently and I wrinkled my brows.
I got an interior designing job, not a nanny job! This is ridiculous. This seems more like a nanny job to the house owner.
“What am I? A nanny? A cook?” I snapped, my voice slightly frustrated. I had forgotten I needed this job more than anything before talking back at him. I mean I was so excited because I needed this the most right now but some many tasks for me who wouldn't be alive after six months.
He didn't even say anything to me but rather he opened the briefcase before me and I saw the thousands of dollars in them and I couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight of them..
“An extra $50,000 for you” He said calmly and without going through the rest of the contract, I picked up the pen and signed.

KEIRA. I signed the documents and passed it to him and he had a satisfying smile etched on his face. “Good …. I will send you a copy of the contract. Remember you can't back out on the deal until the contract is over…” He told me. Regardless of us using gender pronouns, it dawned on me that I didn't know the gender of my employer. I was over the moon and didn't catch on. “Excuse me? Is it a man or a woman? I mean the house owner?” I probed and he gave me that weird look. “A man….” He replied. Gosh, damn… I don't want any more men in my life. I know this is strictly work and is not like I'm emotionally available but I didn't want to be getting entangled with that gender. “Is he allergic to human beings as well? I mean he could hire cooks and maids?” Didn't know where I got the confidence to even ask silly questions. There are thousands of people out there who would take the job. I know my suggestion wasn't needed but I can't help it. “Apparently he is. He doesn't like crowds so

KEIRA“What?!” Liam's face went pale as his eyes almost popped out of his socket. Seeing the pale look on Liam's face made my heart thump as a satisfying smile graced my features. I had silently prayed that George wouldn't push me away or fire me. I was aware that I just did something Indespicable. How on earth did I even make that statement without thinking about the later effects. “Yes… what are you doing here by the way?” I asked in pretense like I didn't know he was George's son. I wondered how I never knew about my husband's father for two years, Liam never talked about him or introduced me to him. Seemed like he had a distant relationship with his father. “You were cheating on me, Keira. How could you? And you were pretending all these while like you had been a saint! Not to talk more about cheating with my father?!” Liam growled at the top of his lungs like he was hurt by the fact that I was dating his father. “If you were doing the same then why can't I? Or did you think

KEIRA. I was left with George the moment Liam was dragged out. My face flushed and it felt like I was out of breath for a while. I'm not sure how to face George after what happened right now.. Why did George help me? Why did he choose to defend me rather than his son..I swallowed hard, standing there like a log of wood. Thank goodness, my back was against George who was having his breakfast.Now this was the after effects I was talking about. What the heck am I going to say? 'Boss, I just used you to make my ex husband Jealous..thanks for helping me out' how petty if I would actually say that. My brain was crowded with a lot of thoughts. What if he fires me and then I'm asked to return all the $250,000? Oh no, my money!I inhaled a deep breath and exhaled at the same time. I should apologize but I'm most certainly scared of his reaction. I don't want to see his facial expressions. I don't want him to fire me. Would he be disappointed about what I did and just helped me because he wa

GEORGE. I couldn't help myself in the morning after seeing Keira gobble down that glass of water. She appeared so cute and sexy. I couldn't help but imagine how those lips of hers would wrap around my d*ck but I have cautioned myself not to scare her away. I had gotten into a lot of one night stands but it always ended there, nothing special. No woman had intrigued me like Keira did after a long time. She looked so soft, fragile and cute. I had pretended like I didn't remember her because I didn't ever want her to doubt that all of this wasn't a coincidence. But finding out she was Liam's ex wife was an unexpected twist I never thought I would experience. I wasn't supposed to cover up for her in the morning because I believe she was just getting back at Liam. But I didn't believe Liam could be a bastard..he was mocking and making jokes of her and I couldn't keep standing there without interfering. I was supposed to keep my loyalty to my son but if he ever thought of me as a father

KEIRA. “I thought I wasn't” I said, my cheeks flushing in embarrassment as I lowered my chin. I pressed my lips together. I didn't expect my belly to betray me like that. I haven't had anything apart from the coffee with Elena and funny enough I didn't even remember I hadn't eaten. Bambi,when he called me that name, I couldn't help but wonder if he remembers me or not or he calls every woman that name. I couldn't control the excitement in my chest when he did. Staring at his breathtaking body made me feel like I was losing myself. Those abs, those nipples of him kept crowding my brain with memories of that night. No man had ever been able to make me feel that way..Liam was my first and only man that passed through me but there was just something different about George. He was causing a stir between my legs effortlessly.. I don't know if it was okay to feel this way. I keep trying so hard to keep it in place but I just can't. I keep finding myself glancing, admiring, staring non sto

KEIRA. After engaging in a conversation with George during dinner, I found myself getting more comfortable and free around him. But of course, I couldn't stop ogling at him. Everything about him seemed so perfect and he intrigued me. I haven't been so impressed by any man, not even when I started dating Liam. I thought Liam would be the only man that caused even the slightest stir within me but meeting George all together was a different desire, a different story. He didn't even need to make an effort. My phone rang and I stirred in my sleep. I picked up my phone and flung it over my ear. “Hello, Keira. You have to pick up Boss's suit at Emma's boutique. Boss is going for a conference in Europe and I'm quite busy” Mark said over the phone. I gradually rose from my bed “alright sir”“You have to make sure you do so. You don't have to worry about his breakfast. As for materials for the design, I will send them over when you send the designs and the plan you have for it.” Mark inform

KEIRA.I could see the anger and frustration in Liam's eyes. “Baby, it doesn't matter who she is dating! What matters is she said that you were going broke! Could you imagine?” Amanda chirped in. “We are done, Liam…. As your wife said, you don't have to worry about who I date” I glared at him.“Oh please pardon me. This one concerns me.” He rolled his eyes and unlinked arms with Amanda, stepping closer to me. “ And if you don't want me to tell everyone that you are a gold digger who seduced a man twice your age for money after pretending you didn't need alimony, you better come outside and let us talk” He whispered, his voice lacing with threats. “Baby, what are you whispering to her about, can't you say it out loudly?” Amanda complained, contempt coloring her words. “I want to talk to her briefly…” Liam told her and turned to me, signaling me with his head to follow him outside. I heaved a deep breath and handed over the suit to Joe. “Hold this for a minute. I'm coming.” I said

KEIRA..I stormed into the boutique to signal Joe that we were leaving. I was still overwhelmed by how manipulative and defiant Liam was. What? Come back to him? A bitter chuckle escaped my lips. I can't believe he would have such a stupid brain! I got into the car and checked my wristwatch as I gasped, it was 10:30 am already. I had wasted more time at the boutique and George might be late because of me! This is all Liam's fault. My eyes darted over to Joe who drove quietly and the statement I made earlier about George being my sugar daddy flashed over my mind.I cleared my throat. “I didn't mean to claim your boss was my sugar daddy…it's just….” I tried to explain. “I understand, you don't have to explain it to me. I think we are late already. Let's focus on taking his suit to him” He interrupted and I sighed deeply. “Alright.”He drove for another thirty minutes before we finally got to the penthouse. Maybe because the boutique was far away that caused Mark to alert me so earl

Author's POV. Keira’s eyes fluttered open, and the first thing she saw was George sitting beside her, his eyes locked on her with a gentle, steady gaze. He was holding something wrapped in a soft pink blanket, his expression pure wonder. It took her a moment to remember, her breath caught as reality settled in. Their daughter was finally here. “Bambi” George murmured, smiling as he noticed she was awake. “Someone wants to say hello.... We have a baby!" A warm wave of emotion washed over her as George leaned in, bringing their baby girl closer to her. Keira took in the sight of their tiny daughter, barely able to believe it. Her heart felt like it was going to burst. Soft tufts of dark hair peeked out from the blanket, and tiny hands rested by her face, impossibly small and delicate. “Oh, she’s… she’s perfect,” Keira whispered, her voice barely audible as she gazed down at their daughter. She lifted a trembling hand, gently tracing a finger along the baby’s tiny cheek. The warmth,

KEIRA. I can't believe my wedding day was finally here. After all the obstacles, after what seemed like it wouldn't be, I was getting married to George. The man I met six years back, the man who made me feel everything love was about. He accepted me, he accepted my flaws. He chose to be with me no matter what. He decided to be a father because of me. He changed his rules just to be with me. The universe was on my side on this. I bless the day I met him at the bar, the day he ignited an unquenchable spark.. The morning of my wedding to George began in a daze of rose-colored light and breathless excitement, like a dream I was trying to hold onto but that kept slipping through my fingers. Sunlight pooled through the soft curtains, dusting everything in gold. "Keira!" Elena squirmed, stepping into the bride waiting room. I giggled at her.. "Wow! You look so stunning! George wouldn't be able to keep the thing in between his legs one place!" She joked, her sense of humour making me gasp

KEIRA. Some days later I got discharged from the hospital, I lost my baby. I still can't believe this. George has been consoling me like forever. He keeps telling me we would make another one but I was really sad though. What if it doesn't come again that easily. I prayed it would. Kelvin needed someone by his side. We would have all the sex in the world so that we can make a baby.. After his work hours were over, George came home. I was speedily recovering as well. I made dinner and Kelvin had gone to sleep after consuming his dinner. I was in the living room when he came home.. He beamed at me with his eyes and scooped me into his arms into the same manner, gently placing me on the floor. Our eyes locked and my heart raced in anticipation and exhilaration at the same time. George watched me with lustful eyes, my elbow was pressed on the floor since I was wedging my upper body with it. He gently pushed my legs apart and a soft gasp escaped my lips once he did that. He push

KEIRA. A familiar hum filled the air, a mix of beeps and muted voices that seemed both distant and near. I really wanted to get over the news from Doctor Peter. It wasn't all that easy for me to take in because George stopped protection long time ago. I was still in the hospital, tethered to tubes and a heart monitor, feeling the dull ache radiate from my shoulder. Slowly, I opened my eyes, and the room came into focus. I really I lost my child. I think I might have fallen into another slumber after the news. "Keira?" George’s voice was soft, laced with relief, and I turned my head just enough to see his face inches away, his eyes wide with a fragile hope. “Hey,” I managed, my voice raspy, like I hadn’t spoken in days. “You…you look awful.” He snorted, frowning. "You have been sleeping... I have missed you" He gave a short laugh, the kind that holds back a well of emotion. His hand found mine, his fingers trembling slightly. “I have missed you like crazy. I'm so sorry for what

George's POV I held Keira's limp body in my arms, her blood seeping onto my suit. The sound of gunfire still echoed in my ears. Our engagement party, once filled with laughter and joy, had turned into a nightmare. Keira, I would never forgive myself if I lose her. Never. "Keira, no! Stay with me! Bambi, please!" I pleaded, my voice shaking. My eyes was filled with tears as i continued shaking her roughly. I rushed through the crowded hall, shoving aside panicked guests. Sirens blared outside, growing louder. "Get the car!" I yelled at Mark. The hall had gone so chaoti, people.rushing out for their safety. I wouldn't blame them, the gunshot erupted from nowhere. "We need to get her to the hospital now!" I yelled, tears in my eyes. I had no idea who I was yelling at but if I lose Keira, I'm gone. I couldn't seem to control myself. I was supposed to be calm for Keira's sake. I was supposed to reassure myself but I was panicking more than I should. Elena rushed us at the stage

KEIRA. The hall was a dream. soft pink roses, strings of glistening fairy lights, and golden drapes swayed lightly under the room’s chandeliers. I could hear the clink of glasses and the gentle hum of people chatting, laughter mixing with the soft music filling the air. It was a celebration of George and I..Our engagement party was everything I’d dreamed it would be. It was perfect. George had his guests all over the place, influential personnel, stars in New York. He invited A list celebrities like he said he would. George was across the room, A radiant smile that had melted my heart from the start plastered on his face. His dark suit fit perfectly, the deep navy accentuating his broad shoulders and making his hazel eyes more striking. He was in a deep conversation with Mark, occasionally looking my way with a wink. I gave him a small wave, feeling my cheeks flush. Even after all these years, he still made my heart flutter. They fluttered like crazy. I stood,greeting some of G

KEIRA. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the haze of sleep. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room. George's gentle hand held mine, his hazel eyes watching me. I was so surprised he woke up before me today.. A huge smile crossed my lips. "Good morning, bambi " he whispered,a smile playing on his cheeks. I smiled faintly,feeling a wave of nausea wash over me. My stomach churned. I felt this way yesterday’s morning but it wasn't as bad as this morning. Was I sick or what the heck was wrong with me. “Good morning handsome” I returned the greeting. I quickly sprang up the bed and rushed into the bathroom, feeling the need to vomit. George didn't hesitate to come after me, closing the bathroom door behind me. "Bambi, are you okay?" I couldn't answer because I had begun , vomiting uncontrollably. My body shook, and my stomach churned. I don't think I can do anything today. My body feels so weak. George's worried voice came through again as he

KEIRA I returned home and Kelvin came out of Joe's quarters and hugged me. He was mostly with Joe since the holidays. I have been giving it a serious thought. Perhaps I should just quit and become a housewife. My son needed me so much and I wasn't doing much at work. I went in with him and he was quick to remove his uniforms. I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I had to feed Kelvin then showered him, put him to bed. I took mine and came downstairs to wait for George as usual. George came home and beamed the warmest smile ever. I would punish him for not telling me he announced our engagement in the news. I frowned not returning the smile even though I wanted to.. “Bambi….what happened?” He questioned, coming close to me. “You didn't tell me you were announcing the engagement in the news. Our engagement party is next week and I didn't even know!” I grumbled and he let out a low chuckle, coming close to me at the dinning table. “Didn't you say anytime was okay

KEIRA. The fire service cleared the fire. I would never understand how that fire broke out. It was really out of nowhere and surprising. But thank Goodness no one got hurt. Everyone went home safely. George had to hire cleaning service providers for them to clean up the fire and the rooftop. “I wonder what happened?” He said to me when we were seated in the living room. Night came by so quickly and since I excused myself from work to celebrate Kelvin’s birthday, we just stayed at home watching TV that night. Kelvin was in the living room with his toys but on the floor. My head rested on George's shoulder and he gently rubbed my arms. “I really don't understand how the fire broke out. It just started all of a sudden but thank Goodness, no one got hurt” I replied. George inclined closer and kissed my forehead. “I was really surprised and worried but everything is okay now I guess. …..”He responded and kissed my forehead again. I sighed deeply, we were in eachother's arms un
