Sabrina’s POV

“I hope you didn't spit into the coffee cup after I turned my back” Mr Hottie said the moment I placed his order on the table.

“I'm a professional sir and would never do that” I stated forcefully, already feeling annoyed.

“Oh don't get yourself all riled up, I was only kidding”

“With all due respect sir, that was an expensive joke that could cost me my job if someone had heard you” I hissed

“You are right, that was out of line and I am sorry about that” he said, raising his hands in a gesture of peace, before picking up his coffee and taking a sip. He took a minute to savor the taste before gulping down the rest of the content in one swoop.

“You make a mean cup of coffee, this tastes really good, welldone.” If he thought his commendation would ease the sting of his poor attempt to joke, he had something else coming.

“Thank you, I guess.” I replied grudgingly, still a little pissed at him.

“Why don't you take a seat?” He gestured to the chair across from him.

    Ronan POV “This is your bedroom for the next six months. Please get settled in. Adams will give you a tour of the place later in the day.” I said briskly. I feel her eyes widen as she takes in the size of the bedroom. I don't get why she is acting like she just landed in some fairy tale since we got into the house. It's just a house, I thought, truly perplexed.“I have to leave for work. If you need anything, you can just ring the bell in your room and Adam will come. You are free to explore the house, especially my bedroom.” I can't help but tease her, knowing she would blush prettily, a sight I haven't seen in years. “You wish!” She scoffs.Like I predicted she blushes bright red, making her look more captivating. I can't help but stare at her. Her beauty and innocence were what captured my attention across that parking lot when I saw her dragging that monstrosity she calls a bag.“My Attorney will send the contract document to you before the end of today. If there is any clause

    Sabrina's POV I need to get something to eat. I thought after my stomach growled loudly for the third time, reminding me that I skipped breakfast this morning. In between my house to get all my belongings out of Carol's house and my run-in with Ronan this morning, breakfast had slipped off my mind.I hung my last piece of clothing in the wardrobe and closed it as I turned around to take in my new room. The room is a vast improvement from the room I had stayed at Coral's. The space was large enough to fit in two extra rooms and the bed is just so heavenly. I'm very sure I have ever slept in a bed as big and grand as this. Everything in the room screams wealth and elegance. It was as if I died and woke up in Lala land. “It's for just six months. Once the contract term is up, you will be out of all this luxury and opulence so don't get used to it.” That snide inner voice of mine remarked.True, I thought as I made my way downstairs. I know this is just temporary, but I am determined t

    Sabrina's POV I took the longest shower of my life as I soaked in the bathtub enjoying the relaxing feel it brought. A sudden knock on my bedroom door causes me to groan in exasperation.After the tour of Ronan's mansion, Adam emotionally blackmailed me to go grocery shopping with him. We just got back less than 30 minutes ago, feeling so tired and stressed which is why I hightailed to my room to bathe immediately we stepped into the mansion and I intended to remain here for at least another 10 minutes. What if I pretended not to hear the knock, maybe Adam would just leave, I thought I relaxed back in the tub soaking in the warmth. However, the knock became more insistent. I sigh in annoyance as I rinse the soap off my body and grab the first towel I touched on the line, wrapping it around my chest as I walk out of the bathroom. I pulled the bedroom open angrily intending to give Adam a piece of my mind for disrupting my bath, “Adam! You are….” My mouth snaps shut and my eyes wide

    Ronan's POV I blinked at Sabrina as she made her demand that I give her a job at the firm. I must confess I am secretly surprised she is showing some backbone and not afraid to demand what she wants. It's one of the qualities that drew me to her because for the role she will be playing for the next 6 months she will need some backbone to handle Olivia and my mum.“Hmm since there is no vacancy at the firm at the moment, your request will be hard.” I lied pretending to think about it. Honestly, though, I had intended to give her a job at the firm that would be a perfect way to show her off as my fiancee which invariably makes Olivia back off.“You have to make it possible because I am signing those papers unless you agree. She huffs, sounding indignant when both know she doesn't have a choice but to sign it. I refrain from calling her bluff as my eyes trail down the tiny robe she is wearing.My mind involuntarily pictures her without it and I wrestle to bring my body under control.

    Sabrina's POV “You know you don't have to pack me lunch right?” I asked Adam as he passed me a beautiful lunch bag. He waves away my objection, “It's what I am paid for, besides, I have a feeling you will need to eat to face what is waiting for you at the firm today.” Adam's reply sounded ominous.I shoot him a worried look. I suspect working with Ronan without going through the normal interview process would raise some eyebrows but I am not expecting a war or outright antagonism.“Is there something happening at the firm, I should know about?” “Not really. It's just that this is the first time Ronan is going to walk with an employee who also happens to be his fiance, so I suspect the reception may not be welcoming.”“That is enough Adam! You may leave.” Ronan cuts in as he strides towards us looking yummy in a gray suit and white shirt that does nothing to hide all those muscles. Those beautiful eyes that should be illegal are presently glaring daggers at Adam.“I'm sorry sir, I w

    Sabrina's POV I was still flipping through the folder the rude lady dropped on my new desk in the office attached to Ronan’s office when I heard someone clearing their throats. My head snapped up as I eyed the gorgeous male specimen standing before me.The stranger lets out a loud whistle as he smiles and walks closer to me. He is dressed in an expensive-looking suit and at his 6’3 height, he towers over me.“Hi! I see you are Ronan's new secretary. I am Richard from the mergers and acquisition department.” He says stretching out his hand for a handshake, with a pleasant smile on his face. I shake his hand and return the smile, glad to find someone here who doesn't outrightly hate me.“Hi! I am Sabrina and Yes I am Ronan's new secretary.” I replied. He puts his hand back into his pocket before giving him a once over, not even bothering to pretend he is checking me out. However, instead of finding his stare making me aroused like Ronan's stare usually does, all I feel is amusement.“

    Sabrina's POV “I know I said Ella would take you shopping earlier, but with this dinner development, I have to go with you to make sure you get a proper outfit that Mom wouldn't take issue with,” Ronan says, immediately we got into the car. I seized the opportunity to give him a piece of my mind about the dinner.“Why do I need to attend this dinner anyway? I thought you at least would want this arrangement to work, so why in the world would you spring up such a surprise on me, knowing fully well how unprepared we are for the tale of our dying love we need to spin to your Mom to convince her we are in love.” I say, feeling out of breath.I didn't expect the soft apologetic look that Ronan shoots me when I am done with my little speech.“I'm sorry about this, Brina. Mom usually insists I come over to the house once a month for family dinner. She says when a family eats together it breeds love and care.” He says that part with an eye roll like he doesn't believe that. I remain silent,

    Sabrina POV “Relax, you are too fidgety. It's just dinner.” Ronan says as we approach the entrance of his parent's mansion. Easy for him to say! He isn't the one going into what may likely be the lion's den. The house is so big and intimidating. The presence of heavy security personnel patrolling the entire place does little to calm my nerves. I wonder why they need this much security or if it's just today because of the dinner. I take a deep breath and force myself to relax after all it's just a dinner like Ronan said. All we have to do is eat, break the news of our engagement to his parents, answer a few questions, and head back home. What could go wrong? I thought as the doors to the house opened at our approach and Ronan and I walked in. I wore the red dress we picked at the boutique paired with a beautiful gold sandal and a gold clutch. I let my long hair fall freely to my waist. The gold necklace and earrings Ronan gifted me, complement the outfit beautifully, giving me

    Sabrina POV “Come on! Are you going to keep ignoring me? I said I am sorry already! Which mind you, isn't something I say often.” Ronan says with a pout as he unlocked the door to the house.I remained silent, glaring at him as the door clicked open and we walked in. I expected to see Adam around because he was usually hovering around the sitting room and the kitchen, but I couldn't find him. Maybe he is sleeping, I thought with a shrug.He let out a sigh before pulling me closer to him, wrapping his arm around my waist. He gives me a pleading look. “Please don't be mad, I promise you will enjoy this evening!”“I doubt that,” I say huffing as wriggle out of his stone-like grip as I head upstairs to take a shower in my room.Ronan chuckles as he follows behind me. When I got to the door of my room, I turned to arch a brow at him in question.“I need to take a shower, so if you will excuse me…” I made a shooting gesture which made him smirk and gave me an amused look.“Don't take too l

    Ronan's POV It's been a week since Sabrina moved in with me and it's been a blissful experience. I never knew staying with someone could be so peaceful and enjoyable.“Sir, I have completed the paperwork for Miss Seattle’s transfer to the tech department. Mr. David signed his approval this morning.” Micheal, head of human resources said into the phone.“That's good! She will be resuming on Monday.” I say hanging up and placing the phone back on the table.I stood up and stretched to relieve my muscles from the stiffness. I have barely risen from my desk since morning. The Monaco project we are planning to launch at the end of the month has been keeping me occupied lately. After the stress of the week, I need to get some rest and unwind a little which is why I am closing earlier than usual. I picked up my briefcase and phone before heading out of my office. My eyes immediately landed on Sabrina with her head bent over some papers on her desk. I gently shut my office door so as not

    Sabrina's POV “Wow, this place is amazing! I can't even afford a bottle of water in this place .” I exclaim in awe as Maxwell drops us off. I am aware Ronan is rich, I mean the shopping at the boutique proved that, but still, bringing me to a five-star restaurant where a cup of water probably cost up to 100 dollars? I don't want to know how much money Ronan has in his account to be able to afford all of these luxuries without stress.“Darling I am the one paying so you don't need to bother about affording a bottle of water.” He frowned. “I can afford it, so just relax and enjoy yourself.” with the confident smile of someone who knows his worth, he takes my hand in his and me inside.I discreetly finger my hair hoping to straighten it into something a little nice. Because of how late I was this morning I hadn't had time to do anything to my hair. I wasn't expecting to go out. I drop my hand back to my side when I see that my attempt to arrange it is only worsening it.Immediately we s

    Sabrina's POV “Hey, beautiful! How are you doing?” Richard asks, placing a cup of coffee in front of me. My gaze snapped up from the paperwork Ronan gave me yesterday. I have been trying to sort them into their different folders. “I'm good Richard! Thank you for the tea. What's the occasion?” I ask curious He arches a brow as he perches on the edge of my desk, followed by an ominous creak under his weight. “Do I need a special occasion to get my new bestie a cup of coffee? So how is your second day going?” I shook him a grateful smile loving his jovial nature. He has been a breath of fresh air since I started here “My day just got better with you here. But don't you have work to do? Why are you frolicking about?” I ask in mock disdain. He scoffs before rising to his feet. “Seriously, this is the thanks I get for coming to take care of the woman of my dreams?” He clothes his chest dramatically and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his poor attempt at flirting. “Yo

    Sabrina's POV “Are you okay?” Ronan asks for the third time since we left his parent's house. “I told you already. I am fine.” I lied. I don't know how I feel right now but I don't think telling Ronan about it is the best thing to do at the moment, besides whining about what has happened isn't going to change anything. I just want to get to my room, lock my doors, and let all of the frustrations and pain I feel inside out.“I know I have said it before but I am still very sorry about what happened to my parents. I never expected Mom to slap you. I know she can sometimes lose her cool but I have never seen her physically assault anyone before.” Ronan says, sounding very apologetic. I shrugged. “You don't need to apologize. You are not responsible for your mother's actions. Besides I signed up for this contract so I guess I have to be prepared for everything that comes with it.” I say feigning nonchalance.“You didn't sign up for being physically abused, Sabrina. I will talk to my

    Ronan's POV I knew the news about my engagement to Sabrina wasn't going to go down well, especially bearing in mind that Mom keeps forcing me to get married to Olivia because of her family and the wealth married to her would bring to us, as if we needed their money. However, never in my wildest imagination did I expect the absolute chaos that rained down the minute I declared Sabrina as not just pregnant with my babies but that I intended to marry her.Before I could blink an eye, Olivia leaped from her chair and tackled Sabrina to the ground. I jumped in, tearing her away from Sabrina and pulling her to myself which seemed to infuriate her more as she tried to rush over to her“Stop it, Olivia! I know you are mad, but it's unfair to attack Sabrina!” I shouted “It's unfair? Did I just hear you right? She stole you away from me and you think I should not teach this gold-digging whore a lesson?” She demands eyes blazing with wrath.“I didn't steal anyone. I never knew he was your boy
