MARCUS'S POV
My thoughts tended to wander to that night where I lost control because of her.
That mysterious woman that brought back memories of the least person I wanted to remember.
Chelsea.
The prettiest flower I'd ever seen.
Jane's voice spoke softly on the speaker quickly interrupting my thoughts.
"Sir the new recruit is coming to the office in a few minutes."
"Alright thanks Jane."
A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I'm sure it must be my new secretary.
"Come in" I responded coolly.
When the door opened I turned around my swivel chair and faced her. When she froze and her face went pale.
The mug dropped to the floor and shattered.
Oh no.
It was her.
This couldn't be fucking happening.

KELSEY'S POVMy heart skipped a beat."Did you say Marcus Devon?" I asked curiously.Sasha gave me a puzzled look."Yes do you know him?"I ignored her question and took the phone from her. And when I saw his pictures my eyes instantly watered.Why...now.After all these years why now?All the memories and pain were going to haunt me all over again because I was the one who hurt him.But yet I didn't have a choice, did that still make me the villain?I only did what I did because I didn't want to hurt him and I was protecting him from my crazy absurd father.A tear rolled down my cheek.I was filled with regret,anger and resentment. I wish he had refused to believe my words but I know that deep down I broke him.He trusted me and broke his trust and stabbe
KELSEY POVwanted to know why he wasn't telling me his true identity. This was my chance to ask him and find out the truth."Why didn't you tell me about your true identity Marcus?"His eyes met mine intensely and his lips curved into a wicked smile.He chuckled lightly.Did he really find this funny?"So why did you change your name?" He asked in a taunting tone.I remained silent."Anyway Kelsey even if I told you about my real identity it wouldn't have muttered" he said coldly.And I swallowed hard.A pang of pain filled my chest. He didn't want to acknowledge our old friendship nor relationship.I nodded miserably.He hated me.I forced a smile and met his eyes."Yes you're righ
KELSEY POVWe were supposed to stay away from each other. He said it himself and he was here standing in front of me pressing his erection against my core.Why would a saint refuse such an open invitation?He wanted me and I wanted him as well."Marcus..." I moaned softly, almost whispering." Staying away from you for so long has been a nightmare Kelsey" he rasped quietly breathing hard.He cupped both of my cheeks gently admiring me.My cheeks turned red instantly.His lips met mine in a slow passionate kiss that made me want more of him.He pulled me closer and squeezed my ass tighter. My instincts told me to wrap my legs around his waist and I did so.I could feel my witness pooling instantly. I was so wet for him and I couldn't wait any longer. I needed him to be inside me right now. His touch had ignited the fla
KELSEY POVMarcus and I had made a routine when he'd call to his office for important work it was all a lie.He'd lock the door and fuck me on his desk from behind.He always caught me off guard I didn't feel comfortable having sex with my boss especially at what but before I could protest Marcus was already inside me thrusting into me mercilessly.The routine continued for almost two freaking weeks. I was so scared that one of the employees would eventually hear me moaning in his office but it turns out the room was sound proof.So I had nothing to worry about right?His hands gripped my ass tightly and I threw my head back as the pleasure consumed me.I could just stay here forever and only feel Marcus and how it felt to have him pounding into me.If you thought the office was bad the elevator was shocking and almost got us caught luckily right before the doors opened Ma
KELSEY POVI kept bumping into people trying to get away from that place as far away as possible. I felt sick to my stomach and I didn't even want to see Marcus's face.Tears threatened to roll down my cheeks Sasha was right and I wished I had listened to her. I wish I hadn't given in and listened to my heart.The horrible scene kept replaying over and over in my head making me nauseous.This was all part of his plan for revenge.I felt like such a fool to have even believed that he could ever love me again.I feel humiliated and stupid I needed to a drink to burn the anger away and pour out my feelings. I didn't want to feel this pain Marcus had caused me.I was going to head home to cry my eyes out but I decided to go to a bar to have a drink. At least it would help me forget about the pain for a little while.I wiped my tears away and got into a taxi."Where is Ms?" The driver asked in a hi
KELSEY POVIt felt like the world was spinning around me. This couldn't be happening to me no. I refuse to accept this.I wasn't ready to become a mom of course I wanted kids in future but I just didn't expect to have one this soon.How the heck am I going to parent a child?Maybe something is I need to get an appointment and go to the hospital and confirm. With crazy hectic hours of work and a child running around the house will drive me nuts.I clamped my hand over my mouth.Marcus is the father of my child.What do I even say to him at this point?"Kelsey are you okay?" Sasha asked when I still remained silent, still recovering from the shock.I shook my head negatively.I blinked several times just to make sure that I wasn't dreaming.But no this wasn't a dream I was actually pregnant and worse for my so called boss Marcus Devon.I'm not going to tell him anything he'll try t
KELSEY POVI sighed deeply. Jane had clearly seen my baby bump so there was no point in trying to make an excuse. Jane was like a sister to me. I couldn't lie to her."Yes I'm pregnant."She clamped her hand over her mouth."Oh god is that why you haven't been coming to work?"I nodded.She placed her hand on my shoulder."Kelsey I'm your friend you should have said something I was worried sick about you. And on top of that you were ignoring me calls."" I know Jane and I'm really sorry I messed up. Everything is just overwhelming since I'm going to have to raise the baby alone."She gave me a puzzled look." Alone? Why?I shrugged carelessly." I just don't want him to be a jerk and I want nothing to do with him."
MARCUS POVI was in shock. Tara's father was the investor Mr. Eden. Tara never talked a lot about her family. She would only give me brief information about her family. I know that her father and mother live abroad in Italy. They only come to visit her on special occasions and Sometimes it's vice versa.Mr Eden gave me a bright smile showing off his perfectly white teeth."So this is the famous Marcus Devon I've been hearing so much about please have a sit and make yourself comfortable" he said quietly.I sat down. I was kind of puzzled. It was like Mr. Eden knew me, maybe Tara must have been the one who told him about me.Mr Eden looked at Kelsey."And who is the beautiful lady beside you?" Mr. Eden asked curiously.I gave him a small smile."Oh this is my secretary Kelsey Evans she's here to take note
MARCUS POV I was left in utter shock. "What?" What the hell was going on?" I looked at Tara and she was just as shocked as me but Mr. Eden looked damn serious. Tara frowned at her father. "I am an only child so stop this nonsense father this wedding is going to take place!" She yelled angrily. Mr. Eden sighed deeply. "Just let me explain everything," he said quietly. MR. EDEN POV I knew that this was a big shock especially to Marcus and Kelsey but this was the truth and I couldn't hide it any longer. I just couldn't get married. "After I saw Faith's picture in Marcus's house I remembered everything and connected the dots. You see I met Faith years ago when my wife and I couldn't have kid's of our own that's when F
KELSEY POVI was really glad to have such good friends like Jane and Sasha. Once we arrived at the wedding venue they all made sure to stay by my side.I looked at the entrance wishing that it was getting married to Marcus and not that witch Tara. Maybe Marcus is blinded by her money if that's the case then I'm very disappointed in him."Are you going to be ok?" Jane asked curiously.I nodded quietly."Yeah I want to do this Jane it's time I also move on and try to forget about Marcus."Jane gave me a small smile and nodded.I was really tired of getting asked the same question over and over again my answer also didn't change. My mind was already made up.We walked into the church and I noticed Marcus standing at the altar. He looked very handsome in his black suit and our gaze lingered for
TARA POVI loved my father very much because he always made sure that I have the best in life. He buys me anything I want and whenever I want his certainly the best father a girl could ever ask for. My mom doesn't like it when dad spoils me with goodies and luxurious things.I glanced at my diamond wrist watch impatiently mom was supposed to be here hours ago. I hate it when people are late especially on my big day."Miss Tara don't be upset I'm sure your mother will be here soon" my makeup artist Julie muttered coolly.I rolled my eyes at her while she applied pink blush on both of my cheeks.I looked very pretty."Julie you don't even know how my mom acts with me gosh she treats me like I'm not her daughter or something."I scoffed in annoyance." You know Julie we never get along with each other and honestly I don't li
KELSEY POVI cannot believe that Marcus Is finally declaring his love for me. I felt happy and sad at the same time. I wish things were different between us so that we would start over but I could see that it was already too late for us because Marcus was officially going to be someone's husband tomorrow.I stared at him with wide eyes, tears still rolling down my cheeks and surprisingly he wiped them away."Marcus you've destroyed everything between us and I don't know if I'll ever trust you again" she whispers softly.He nodded quietly.I know he has confessed his true feelings to me but still wasn't enough to fix everything between us."It's not enough…" I whispered softly."I know Kelsey" he rasped quietly as he stroked both of my cheeks gently. I had missed him terribly having him so close to me aga
KELSEY POVI was waiting for Max to come pick me up but he was taking a bit long this time and suddenly it began pouring outside. I didn't even bring an umbrella damn it.I saw Marcus coming towards me and panicked. I couldn't let him see me now and walked into the rain to try and escape him but he kept following me."Kelsey wait!" I Marcus yells as he runs after me. The both of us were already soaking wet. He eventually caught up with me and held me by the wrist, stopping me midway."Please just listen to what I have to say..." He pleaded.Anger flashed in my eyes but I nodded anyway.I've loved Marcus since childhood and I want him in my life more than ever but the different circumstances keep getting in the way, always stopping us from reuniting. His fists clenched,hands shoved into his pockets. Brows brought together,jaws clenched. I felt a
KELSEY POVI mostly spent my two weeks living indoors just laying in bed, watching TV, listening to music and stuffing my face and that kind of became my routine.I tried calling Sasha multiple times to try and apologize to her but she never answered any of my calls and I honestly think that I've lost my best friend for good this time. I took her advice for granted and now she walked out of my life because I can't handle my shit. The mere thought of her broke my heart and I just wanted to cry all day.Jane would occasionally come to check up on me but I kept assuring her that I was fine."Are you sure that you're doing fine? Jane asked in a worried tone.I gave her a small smile." Yes fine."" I could spend the night Kelsey just to make sure that you have all the necessary care."Jane was a good friend but I was doing fine on my ow
KELSEY POVI sat on the sofa and stuffed my face with oreo ice cream. Jane and Sasha kept exchanging weird looks. I was watching a soup opera. It was very cliche but I enjoyed watching it. Besides it was interesting and it kept me entertained."Kelsey you know that you can't go on like this you need to tell Marcus before it's late..." Sasha begs.I stopped eating and stared at her in disbelief before I could reply. Jane interrupted me."Yes Kelsey Sasha is right I mean look at you it's been weeks now and nothing has changed. You're stressing yourself and this is not good for the baby" Jane mutters quitely.I was capable of taking care of my own child alone. I didn't need Marcus or his support."I think I'm handling everything alright without Marcus involved. I don't need him and he has no right to be involved in my life. He doesn't even kn
KELSEY POVI was really bad at love and it reminds me of that song bad at love by halsey. It feels like the song is all about me.I just felt like drowning in my own sorrows and being lost. Lost at sea to finally find where I belong. Maybe I had a future but Marcus wasn't going to be a part of it and that was the most painful part of all.I could picture a new house and soft giggles being heard outside. I would be in the doorway watching my baby girl play. She would be adventurous just like me she would love to explore just like dora the explorer.Hmmm. The mere thought just made my heart swell with joy. But I felt guilty consuming me again. Would my baby hate me because I never had the guts to tell her father the truth about her actual existence?I feel like I'm keeping her father away from her and once she's older she'll eventually find out the bitter truth and hate me.The mere thought left me in ruin
MARCUS POVThis whole meeting was a damn scam there was no partnership this was just some cover up just to announce this contract marriage. I knew that Tara was many things but I didn't expect her to stoop this low just to get what she wants. I was so furious at first she messed with Kelsey and now she thinks that she can just ruin my life. Even if we would get married it would be a loveless marriage because I am not in love with Tara her purpose was to only fulfill my needs but that phase has passed and I'm not that kind of man anymore because Kelsey changed me.TARA POVI can't believe that Marcus walked out on me. I mean this is our party and we are supposed to celebrate our engagement.Once dad was done talking to one of his business associates I decided to approach him."Father I'm so angry right now why didn't you stop Marcus from leaving?"
