2024-10-29 19:42:56For the first time in Beatrice's life, she thought everything happening around her came to a sudden pause and the world came to an end.
"Are you just going to stand there?" Ben's voice came out with a slight tinge of mock in it as Beatrice swallowed the heavy lump that was desperate in choking her.
If only the grounds would split and open up, she'd gladly throw herself in it to avoid this catastrophic moment she found herself in.
She wasn't expecting he would occupy this seat so soon, or let's say it totally slipped her mind that the company where she was working was bought entirely by her weird ex.
'Fuck! Mr. Fin should have at least emailed me that he would stop coming as at yesterday,' She thought in dismay as she brought her left hand forward to support the cup of hot coffee she was carrying.
She averted her gaze to the side of the inner office to notice Vanessa was staring at her with a big tab in her arm as her pale blue eyes eyed Beatrice from head to toe.
How cool? Now she would have to deal with a pair of two sociopaths.
'Seriously, was he planning on keeping two assistants or she would be saying bye-bye to her job,' She thought as she annoying dragged her gaze away from Vanessa and focused on the main devil, Ben.
'Be strong Beatrice! Don't show them your weakness, you can do this,' Her mind encouraged her as she summoned up all the courage she had and found herself walking to her old boss's table which was now Ben's who did nothing but glued his cold dominant stares on her every move.
She was Beatrice and the Beatrice she knew wasn't a weakling and she won't be weak, not right in front of her ex, even if he was her boss.
"Good morning sir," Beatrice said firmly but her voice sounded coarse as she decided to clear her throat with a light cough.
'Now great! Who would have thought I would be using, 'Sir' for this nincompoop sitting all bossy and arrogant on my old boss's seat,' She thought rolling off her inner eyes.
'But you don't have a choice do you?' Her mind asked.
'Certainly, I don't have a choice but play my cards well,' She responded to herself.
Ben didn't reply but his piercing looks didn't leave her either.
'He can't even reciprocate my greeting, such a dickhead!' she thought as she felt hot suddenly.
"I suppose you have a tangible reason for coming late to work, or should I say this is how you resume like you own this place," Ben said coldly with no emotions on his handsome face staring at her.
Beatrice felt blown in the face as she stared at Ben in the face but immediately diverted her gaze from him and stared at the coffee in her hands.
Gosh! He was too intimidating...
Her sleepy head caused all this which warranted Ben to have the audacity to bluster her.
"I-I--"
Beatrice sighed when she thought it was useless explaining to a jerk like him, that her precious alarm decided not to ring on an annoying day like this knowing it was him she was going to face instead of Mr. Fin.
"I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again," Beatrice apologized bowing her head slightly.
Fuck! How she hated to use that sorry word for him, but she has to be professional to keep things cool.
"I suppose it has,"
" Ms. Parker," Ben called Vanessa diverting his attention towards her shortly as a devilish smirk curled up his sexy lips.
"Yes sir, " Vanessa answered stepping forward as she walked over to Ben, standing by his side.
"Make a query letter regarding Ms. Coleman's lateness, I'm sure this hasn't been her first time coming late to work," Ben said as Vanessa nodded with a slight bow and stepped a few feet away from him.
Beatrice's eyes widened as she glared at Ben, "What? A quer--"
"You ca-can't d--"
Ben snapped his face towards her in a fiery way making Beatrice swallow whatever word she was about to say in her throat.
"I'm sorry Sir," She said, annoyance and frustration evident in her voice as she bent her neck making her face look at the ground.
"Is this how you lose your cool?" Ben asked Beatrice cockily, he was really enjoying this moment.
"Ms. Parker make sure to add that in the query too," Ben said.
"Okay sir," Vanessa answered and Beatrice felt like pouring the hot coffee in her hands on Ben's face.
How dare he?
He just attained his position as a boss of this company today and all he has to do is query her immediately.
Beatrice closed her eyes and opened them immediately, she was feeling extremely hot and wished he could just send her out of his office.
She bit her lower lips and her grip on the coffee tightened almost crushing the pitiful cup.
"Ms. Parker as your new boss, you're to resume at 7:00 a.m sharp with my coffee and any slight mistake you do will be queried, am I understood?" He asked dominantly in that crazy deep voice of his that cringed her darling ears.
Beatrice made a dreadful laugh quietly.
'Someone has to tell me he is kidding!' She cried in her mind as her hands squashed the cup of coffee almost making it spill out.
'He's kidding, right?' She asked herself.
This was worse than any heartbreak she heard of. How was she going to deal with that crazy time with his coffee especially when she was a deep sleeper?
He was truly here to torture her, to get back at her and this wasn't funny, not a single bit was funny at this moment.
'I better resign and forget about this whole nonsense, who is he to think he could boss and inconvenience me,' She thought to herself in annoyance.
"Ms. Coleman, I believe you heard me?" Ben said impatiently as Beatrice snapped out of her thoughts.
"Ye-Yes sir," She stammered with a thin smile on her lips.
She's ending this very soon.
"Good!" Ben smirked devilishly like he was enjoying every moment of her agony.
Silence fell and Beatrice thought of a solution to escape from the trap she found herself in.
She stared at the coffee in her hands for a moment and thought about what she was going to do with it. She needed to get out of this office, his sight right this instant.
"Here's your coffee, sir," She said irritatingly bending a bit over the table as she placed the cup of coffee on the table, She caught a glimpse of his jaw twitch as he stared at her when she bent over, maybe he saw her cleavages which were evident in the transparent sheer black shirt she was wearing.
She took a step backward and bowed her head slightly like a loyal servant.
"He already had one," Vanessa said as Beatrice was about to turn around.
"That's good!" She said amusingly, walked over to the table, and was about to grab the coffee she made.
She didn't even want this damned jerk to have a taste of her coffee right now.
"Let's see how good it is," Ben stopped her as he grabbed the cup of coffee instead while Beatrice scoffed and straightened herself.
She watched how Ben brought the coffee to his lip and sipped it and he immediately dropped it on the table making some of the coffee spills on the table as he gave Beatrice a disgusted look.
Beatrice rolled her eyes as she arched a brow at him questioningly.
"Too cold and creamy, make another one for me," He ordered as Beatrice glared at him.
She heard Vanessa chuckle slightly as Beatrice gave her an annoyed look before taking the cup of coffee from the table.
"Okay Sir," She said dragging the 'Sir' word annoyingly, and marched out of the office with her heels making angry sounds when hitting the ground.

"Too bland!" Ben said dropping the cup of coffee cruelly on the table as some of the content of the coffee spilled on the table while Beatrice's eyes widened with hate and aggression.Vanessa marched forward with a napkin in her hands cleaning the table as she smirked at Beatrice, then moved back to her spot, she seemed to be enjoying her agony just like Ben.'This is humiliation!'

It was another crazy day for Beatrice as she knocked on the door then turned the knob and walked in with a cup of coffee and a resignation letter in her hands.She was leaving this damn job immediately. Her eyes glanced at Vanessa who was busy scribbling something on a notepad.'The devil's schedule for today,' Beatrice's thought with a scoff.She didn't even know her job any longer except to be making stupid coffees for this insane being sitting proudly on his chair as he stared at the computer screen positioned by the side of the desk.No one noticed her or maybe they decided not to since they knew she would be bringing coffee by 7 in the morning."Here's your coffee," Beatrice notified dropping the cup of coffee on the table as Ben shifted his gaze from the screen of the computer to hers.Beatrice felt a chill run down her spine but she decided to terminat

"Hello, mum!" Beatrice said exhaustingly as she slumped on her black leather seat and stared at the big smart TV in front of her.She just returned from the gym room."Beatrice! My one and only child... My sweetheart," Beatrice's mum chirped as Beatrice rolled her eyes. She doesn't need to be reminded of being the only child of her parents.It's been a long time she had a conversation with her parents always claiming she was busy here and there, but right now, she needs their help, especially her Dad's."I need to speak with Dad," Beatrice deadpanned as she got straight to the point of calling her mum.She just resigned from her work and so be it but right now she needed to speak with her father to lend her some amount of money to start her fashion firm, which had been her dream ever since she was in university."Uhm!"

It was Friday and Beatrice stood in front of Ben's office door contemplating whether to knock or not.'I can still turn back if I want,' She thought frankly almost crying at her misfortune.Aish! She was so stupid for dropping that resignation letter in the first place, she should have heard the bomb news her mum dropped first or got herself another job before acting as a fierce nursing cat.Now, she would look so doltish and vulnerable in front of that devil's eyes while he gives her a satisfied mocking smirk.She could just imagine how the smugness on his face will escalate when he lays his eyes on her.Checking out her designer black skirt that reached above her knees a bit and the black Zara heels she was wearing, she let out an exasperated sigh.'I guess I have to squash and let my pride down, I need money, especially this period dad's not fine, and what

"Oh yeah! You feel this place?" Mia asked loudly as she rocked her body to the blaring music played in the exotic club amongst some dudes on the dance floor."Yes, I do!" Beatrice screamed at the top of her voice for Mia to hear as she swayed her hips to the rhythm of the music.It was Saturday night and Mia had forced her to come to the party Beatrice gave it some thought maybe it would relieve her of the emotional stress she was going through.Having some fun shouldn't be that bad, she thought.They didn't go to the regular club they use to go to when Mia suggested a new club she found in town and they decided to try it out.Beatrice was putting on a blue body con dress which was sleeveless showing off her perfect curves, the length of the dress was short but okay enough to cover her butt and reached her middle thighs with matching blue killer heels.Her lo

BEN'S POV."Fuck you! I learned karate, don't fucking come near me," Ben heard Beatrice drop venomously in the restroom as he tried to keep track of the guy following behind her when he felt something off about him.He wasn't expecting to see her so damn sexy in the club, so he kept on watching her discreetly and when she glanced back and took notice of him as she gazed at him, he felt the uneasiness in her face and he hated that although he had sworn to take his revenge on her for what she did to him sometimes he doesn't want her all that terrified of him.Without thinking twice, Ben barged into the restroom and gave the crazy guy a jaw-ripping blow as he fell flat on his face on the floor."Don't you fucking touch her, ever!"

Did we have sex?''No! We didn't... I won't succumb that easily,' She tried to remember while she eagerly tried to get away from Ben. She fell on her butt on the ground and clamped her hands around her mouth to stop herself from making a groan as she glanced at Ben who turned in his sleep facing her.She closed her eyes trying to remember what transpired between... Then a memory of Ben grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards him came into her memory and also the part she was kissing him back desperately.

Beatrice was walking solemnly to her office drowned in thoughts on how she was going to face Ben, when she sighted Vanessa standing by her doorway while the securities carried out her desk as she fastened her pace, her heart beating wildly wondering what was going on.'What's going on?' She thought dreadfully.“What's happening here and why are the security men taking out my desk?” Beatrice inquired from Vanessa who rolled her eyes and adjusted her glasses now staring at her with a smug look.Beatrice gazes at the men taking her desk away as she moved to ask one of them what was going on.“To the boss's office,” Vanessa retorted annoying stopping Beatrice in her tracks as Beatrice's face fell, and her knuckles turned white as she slowly turned around swallowing the lump in her throat as she faced Vanessa.'Why the hell does Ben have to take my desk to his office?' Beatrice pondered as her heartbeat faintly, and she felt sweaty all of a sudden.“Why is that?” Beatrice asked her anxious

"What would you like?" Chloe asked as she went through the menu and he shrugged."Nothing, I already drank my coffee today.""You should still eat something since I invited you here, cake?"He shrugged again, and the waiter took their order for a red velvet cake with a cup of latte."So how are you doing?"He raised an eyebrow, "you brought me out here to ask that?""I just want to know how you're doing. It wouldn't hurt to know.""As you may have already seen, I'm fine."She scoffed, "still as cocky as ever. Anyway, can you guess what is happening next week on Friday?""What?"She was pretty excited about whatever it was, and he thought about it, "Your birthday?"She nodded and smiled, "I didn't think you'd remember.""I didn't remember, I only guessed. Well, good for you.""Thank you. You're going to come to the party, right?"He shrugged again, "I'm a busy man, Chloe.""But not too busy to attend your betrothed's birthday surely...""I've told you not to mention that, Chloe.""But

The party was over and Beatrice could finally breathe. It had been crazy meeting Santiago like that, but she guessed she would have had to meet him sometime later.“See you tomorrow,” she said when they got to her apartment building and she got off. He didn't bother to tell her bye or act all cocky like he usually did, and that hurt her for some reason.He was probably still angry at the presence of Mr. Santiago, but there was nothing she could do about that. She turned around to go in, and she pressed her door code when she got to her apartment.“Ah, you scared me!!” She uttered the moment she saw Mia in her house and Mia stared back at her startled too.“Did you then have to shout like that?”“Why not? An intruder came into my house.”“What is all this, by the way?” She pointed to the bags, and Beatrice tried to avoid the conversation.“Did you cook anything?”“Hmm, hmm, no, no, no, you aren't escaping this,” she was in her pajamas, which told Beatrice she was going to be staying ov

The hotel front was filled with paparazzi, and it was no surprise considering how huge and popular the family was. They had the largest number of properties in New York and had their hands in almost every industry there was.“Ben you came,” his mum said enthusiastically when they entered, and she hugged him almost immediately. His dad wasn't so smiley, though, and he just nodded to Ben.“Uhm… You brought your secretary?”“Yes, I thought it'd be fun.”“Mrs. Clarke, Mr. Clarke, congratulations on your wedding anniversary,” they all turned around as a petite but beautiful lady walked up to their table, and she had on the sexiest dress that Beatrice had ever seen. It made her inferior in some way.“Chloe, you came…" Ben's mum purred at the sight of her.“Of course, I wouldn't miss your anniversary for anything.”“Ben, you remember Chloe, right?”He turned to the lady, smiling half-heartedly, and Beatrice could tell that he wasn't having this whole gathering.“Of course, hello, Chloe.”“It

“What are you doing here?” Beatrice asked, clearly angry that he was there, but Ben was just glad that she had opened the door.“Making sure that you're getting ready,” he answered indifferently.“I'm not going if you didn't get that from our latest conversation.”He walked past her into her apartment, gently brushing her shoulder, and stared at all the bags he had sent her way.“What the fuck, Ben? You know what? It's even great because you can take all of your property from my apartment.”“They're all yours, if you didn't get that from our latest conversation too.” Ben turned to face her, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.She couldn't believe that he was still being cocky after making her go through that hell.“Just get out then, I'll make sure to send them to the trash if you don't want them.” Beatrice fumed.“Beatrice!” He stopped her in her tracks when she tried to walk past him to her room or something.“What is it now?”She was backed up against the wall with hi

Ben walked into his house that evening, loosening up his tie, which was suffocating at that point, and he collapsed onto the bed in his room. He had let Beatrice go cause well, he had started to get swayed by her seduction, and he had seen her face change by his suggestion. He wondered what she was going to choose; date him or be his maid?It was even crazy because he hadn't thought of the options before meeting her, maybe the latter, but it had come out spontaneously while talking to her. He sighed and stood up to pick up his phone when it rang,“Hello,”“Ben dearest, how are you doing?” It was his mom.“Good and you, mum?”“Splendid. I hope you haven't forgotten about our anniversary party coming up tomorrow?”Wait, what? That was true. Fuck, how did he forget?“You didn't forget, did you?”“What? Uhm, no, of course not, I was even thinking of what to get you guys.”“Oh, you don't have to get us anything, just bring yourself and prepare to party all night.”He smiled without realizi

“Your maid?” Beatrice asked in disbelief as Ben gave her a cocky look.“I want to believe this is a joke,” Beatrice laughed while rolling her eyes and placed her both hands on her waist, she snapped her gaze back to Ben and realized he was being serious with that look he was giving her.Ben has got to be kidding her, what does he mean by her being his maid?“You heard me right,” Ben cleared his throat and leaned back in his chair, a devious smirk playing on his lips.“I don't understand what you said just now!” Beatrice fired at him as she widened her eyes at him.“Your maid?”“Maid as in what?” Beatrice questioned him furiously, maybe if he explained what he fucking meant by being his maid, she will understand.Ben gave her an amused look and laughed, he stood up from his seat and straightened his suit while Beatrice glared at him. She watched him murderously as he approached her.Ben quirked a brow at her and stopped a few feet away from her and shoved his hands into the pocket of hi

“Are you okay?” Ben asked worriedly as he rushed over to Beatrice, who was trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to trickle down her face.'Why does he have to do it?'' Why did he have to come to my aid when I didn't need it? He would be the last person I would ask help from?' Beatrice fumed, she was angry and sad at the same time.Angry that Ben went behind her back to do something he wasn't supposed to do, and sad that she didn't deserve such a gesture from him because of the way she had treated him.How did he know about this? Is he stalking her, or does he have a monitoring device on her?What is the exact reason he did such a thing to her?Ben straightened to his feet, taking Beatrice's phone which she dropped on the floor, and staring at her, he had expected that reaction from her, and he knew he had hurt her pride paying that money because he knows Beatrice too well.But, he had to do it if he wants his plans to work.“Your phone,” Ben said, stretching his hand

Beatrice got to the office very early in the morning, she has some work to do before she asks Ben for permission to meet a new realtor, Lady Zara told her about.“It's 7:30,” She muttered as she glanced at her wristwatch and then stared at Ben's empty seat, she has been in the office for some minutes to seven in the morning.'Is he not coming to work?' Beatrice thought when Ben hadn't come into the office, she sighed and stood up, telling herself not to bother since it wasn't too late for him to come to work, after all, he's the boss, and she is the one who came very early to work.'Let me make his coffee before he comes,' She told herself and stood up from her seat, she arranged the files on her table neatly and proceeded to walk out of the office.The elevator tinged as soon as she got to the second floor and the elevator door opened, Beatrice inhaled sharply, flapping her long hair to the back, and began walking towards the coffee machine, her hips swayed and rocked slightly in the

Beatrice threw her hair into a messy bun as she walked into the kitchen, she sighed staring at how lovely the kitchen was, and right now, what she was thinking about is how to make her next move.With her current job as a secretary, she can't keep up with that amount of money to pay for house rent, and again her pride won't let her ask anyone for money to help except her parents, and she wants to avoid bothering them too.She plodded tiredly to the fridge in the kitchen and wanted to have a soda drink and got disappointed with herself when she opened the door of the fridge and couldn't find any drinks inside the fridge, just bottled water.'I need to make time and go to the grocery store,' She frowned inwardly, she had been telling herself that for like two weeks now without taking a step to the grocery store and now all her foodstuffs had completely gone dry.'I guess I will go for water instead,' She thought and grabbed a bottle of water, she opened the lid and gulped down the cold
