PROLOGUE

Leila Baker hadn’t set foot in New York in three years. She had left with the certainty of never returning, yet here she was, sitting stiffly at the back of her car, She stared out the window, the city had changed since she had last been there. The car came to an abrupt stop in front of Julius & Myres consulting company.A company that once belonged to someone she used to know. Someone who had once mattered. Someone she had vowed to forget. The place looked so different from what she remembered. It was her revenge that fueled her to return and she was going to do all it take. She was lost in thought until a voice interrupted. “Miss Leila, should I drop you off here”. Her driver politely asked.“Yes, thank you. Take the car to the parking lot and meet me here in forty five minutes, I won’t be long” Leila stepped out of the car and stepped into the building, her stiletto heels clicking against the pavement as she smoothed down the crisp lines of her tailored black dress.As she went ...

CHAPTER ONE
Leila Baker let out a deep breath as soon as Gavin Hasters walked out of the office. The air around her still held the faint trace of his cologne, a deep, musky fragrance that spoke of sophistication and wealth. She realized her hands were trembling slightly, and she clasped them together to steady herself. It wasn’t just his looks, it was more of the way his perfect eyes stood out in their blue shade, and the way he kept touching his jaw unconsciously and the way he licked his lips like three times while he was in the office and the way his perfectly chiseled chest looked in the clothes he wore. The list could go on and on. Although she could not deny how stunning he was, it was the commanding presence he exuded. Her cheeks felt hot all of a sudden and she had to pinch herself to bring her back to reality. How could she have a crush on her boss.She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes for a moment, trying to process her first encounter with her boss. “Get it together, Leila,

CHAPTER TWO
“Crap, I’m late!”. Leila screamed to no one in particular. She had an important meeting with Mr. Hasters this morning by 9am and she just waking up by 8:50am. There was no way she would dress up and make it to the office in ten minutes. She was cooked! Leila stepped into the office and the mood in there was close to make her panic. Scrap that, she panicked!.She opened the door to the adjoining office and Gavin Hasters was seated, his face buried in his tablet. She broke the silence“I’m very sorry sir. I had a family emergency this morning. It won’t happen again”. She said in a low voice.“Miss Baker, this is your first strike. We had an important meeting in order to go over and seal our deal with the Bancrofts”. “Is there anything I can do to make this up sir.”Leila had already decided to do anything to make this right Gavin Hasters set his tablet down slowly, his piercing blue eyes locking onto Leila as she stood awkwardly near the door.“You want to make this up?” he said. “The

CHAPTER THREE
Leila stared at her phone, the headline glaring back at her. Her head was blank, Her heart raced as she skimmed the article, reading every word. Blurry photos of her and Gavin leaving the afterparty together filled the screen. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out that she was the one in the pictures. One showed Gavin’s hand resting on her lower back; another caught them stepping into the elevator.Her voice was barely a whisper. “This can’t be happening.”Gavin, now fully dressed in dark slacks and a crisp white shirt, stepped closer and plucked the phone from her trembling hands. He scanned the article, his jaw tightening with every line.Leila ran her hands through her hair, “And Adele… oh my God, what if she sees this?”Gavin’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Adele and I have an understanding,” he said, his tone clipped. “She knows how the media operates.”Leila blinked at him, incredulous. “An understanding? Gavin, they’re calling me your mistress!”He held up a

CHAPTER FOUR
A sound at the door jolted up Leila. She had taken today as her off She had taken the day off, not because she wanted to, but because she had to. Gavin Hasters. She had let him in and now she was paying for it. The worst part? She should have known better. All because of one mistake, ONE MISTAKE that could have been avoided if she had used her head instead of her emotions. The knock came again, sharper this time. Not much people knew where she stayed, her only surviving parent, her mom stayed in California and she was an only child. That left only frank as the only person who could be knocking but it was noon; she knew he would be at work. She was not sure Gavin knew where she stayed but he could. Her life was not exactly a secret now. Was it him? Had he come here to finish whatever he started last night?She swung her legs over the side of the bed, her robe slipping off her shoulder as she made her way toward the door, She hesitated, then exhaled sharply before unlocking it and pul

CHAPTER FIVE
“Miss Baker? Miss Baker!?” The flashback ended as quickly as it came, her head was throbbing, she was not over the whole travel sickness, she had been suffering from it for a long time, ever since she left Cali. Her head flew back to the voice that called her name. It was Armstrong.Leila smoothed the lines on her dress and smiled, She nodded like nothing had happened. “Yes? Can we begin?Gavin sat at the edge of the conference table. As usual, his whole presence was intimidating but she was prepared for it. The whole room was silence, He broke the silence. “The Almighty Leila Baker, to what do we owe you the pleasure?” It took Leila all she had not to break into laughter, Gavin Hasters was trying to break her and she was not going to stand for it. He did it once and he would not get the chance to do it again, “You should not believe everything you read online, take it from someone that has been involved in one too many scandals” The moment she said it, she wished she could take i
