"You are so daring; do you know that? What will I do with you?" He asked, gazing into her sparkling, beautiful eyes. "Permit me to love you, Andy. That's all I want." She answered with so much boldness and honesty that it almost made his stone heart melt. A billionaire who gave up on love even before experiencing it because all that life threw at him were nothing but rejections since birth. Nobody wanted him, and she was a poor and naive girl with family problems weighing her down. She has never been in love, and love is not on her list of priorities. Two extremely different people were brought together by unavoidable circumstances, or perhaps fate. Call it whatever you want. When their worlds collide, their goals get compromised by their undeniable burning desires for each other, and this fire melts down their fears, worries, and beliefs in a blink of an eye. An insecure single father and a naive maid are swimming in the ocean of an unnamed fire that promises to consume them both if they tend to rebel against its power. Call it lust. Call it addiction. Call it obsession. Give it the tag you see as best fitting. But truth be told, theirs is a milestone of a complicated, challenging, but prodigious heart-stirring romance journey like no other.

Chapter 1

COFFEE WITH ANDY

One week!

I have been Adrian's maid for just a week, and what I can say is, so far, so good. Angel is such a disciplined young girl, and for this one week, she hasn't given me any trouble. There is also not as much work as I had speculated. It's just preparing Angel, taking her to and from school, which is easy because we have a driver, and tidying the house. With a washing machine that took me two days to be able to use, washing is so lenient. Also, especially because we order food from outside,. I never get to cook, and I don't know why Adrian doesn't want me to. They have an elegant modern kitchen with all the utensils, but no cooking is done here. I kind of feel like my passion for cooking will be a waste here. Most of the time, I'm just idle.

"Hello!" Adrian's voice startles me, and I stand up from the couch to go grab his backpack.

"Hello! Welcome, sir Adrian." I say as I stretch my hands to take his bag, but he doesn't let me. Right, that skipped my mind again!

"How many times do I have to tell you that you only take care of Angel and not me?" He asks with a tinge of fury in his voice.

I keep forgetting that, no matter how many times he has told me. It's becoming a daily lullaby.

"Sorry, sir!" I say, stepping back and bowing my head a little.

"How do you want me to explain it to you, Tania? Because I am tired of reciting it over and over again."

"I got it now, sir! I won't repeat it." I hope my servant's tendencies won't kick in every time I see him walking in through that door.

"You better not, because I am not going to repeat this. Where is Angel?"

"I have just put her to bed, sir!"

"She only sleeps this early because of the cold weather and school. In favourable climates and school holidays, she goes to bed late." He explains.

"Okay, sir!"

"I'll go see Angel. And Tania, that sir is annoying! Drop it!"

Huh?

He walks upstairs after that, and I sit down to resume the program I was watching on TV, but darn! It has ended. I switch off the TV and relax on the sofa. I should make a note of all the things that Adrian doesn't like. He is a man of few to no words, and making him repeat one thing to me over and over every day is making me look incompetent and dumb. "Okay, Tania. No sir, and no helping him; no sir, and no help." I keep repeating that, and I don't know how long until Adrian startles me again, making me almost jump from the couch.

"And what are you doing?"

"Reciting the don'ts so that they stick in my mind," I answer, trying to act composed, but I know I am failing. He just shakes his head and walks to the kitchen.

With this cold, I miss coffee. Can't he allow me to make even just coffee? I stand up and follow him to the kitchen.

I knock and wait for a reply.

"The only door you are expected to knock on before coming in is my bedroom," Adrian says from inside, and I drag my feet inside. He is just parked on a stool, scrolling his phone, perhaps checking emails or something. I scan the kitchen, and I spot a tin of Nescafe coffee on one of the shelves, and I just cannot control the urge for my lemon and honey coffee. My!

"Aah... Andy? Can I...?"

Shit!

Double shit!

What name just rolled out of my mind, huh? I slowly turn around to face him, and I meet his dark brown eyes looking at me. I was expecting to see a shock or a disappointed look on his face, but he is just there, emotionless.

"Sorry." I quickly apologized.

"I will punish you for that." He says it with a raised eyebrow, his expression changing in a flicker. Punishment? Damn!

"Anything. But don't fire me, please!" I can't afford to lose my job, which is barely a week old. The condition of my family back home can't even allow me to become jobless.

"Your punishment is that you will not call me any other name. Just Andy." He winks and stands up.

Wow! Did he just wink at me? So he jokes, aside from with his daughter? He has always been cold and quiet to me since I came here. This is so new to me. So freaking new!

"You are okay with that? I mean, isn't it too casual for a boss and employee?" I ask.

"I like it, and that's final. It's a million times better than that annoying "sir" of yours. What were you saying?"

"Okay. I wanted to ask if you could allow me to at least make coffee. Even just for today."

He eyes me for quite a while, then he shakes his head.

"This kitchen hasn't been used for years. My wife never liked being in the kitchen. We are used to eating outside, and I don't want my daughter to get attached to things that won't last, Tania. So, no!"

No? Come on, Andy!

What kind of wife will not cook for her family? I mean, I understand that there are days one would feel exhausted and all, but not even a day to cook for your family? I think whatever transpired between him and his wife hurt him a lot because he suddenly looks lost somewhere in a dark jungle.

"Well, I...I respect your decision, Andy, but it's just coffee. And I am not in a hurry to leave, by the way. My family depends entirely on me. And our condition back home doesn't allow me to become jobless any time soon." I try to push my luck, fingers crossed, in the hope that he doesn't yell at me.

After breathing out heavily, he speaks.

"Okay. You can make coffee. You know how to use the coffee machine." He asks, and I shake my head. How can I know how to use a coffee machine if I have never seen one? I am yet to get used to this modernized life of the wealthy. I hope I will be able to, though, because it's like the rich and the poor don't live in the same world as I thought. Everything is so different, including the aura they breathe. Theirs is fresher than ours, and I think it even has a scent—a sweet scent.

"Can I first go out to buy lemons and honey?" I know it is stupid of me to ask because it's almost nine at night, but I can't have coffee without lemons. And I can't send my boss to the stores, right?

"Tell Mark to get you lemons and honey from the market. Buy as much as you want." He says this and hands me some cash from his pocket. I ran to Mark and came back immediately.

Mark doesn't take long to come back since there is no traffic at this hour, but within that short time, Andy has shown me how to use the coffee machine. With Andy settled on the kitchen stool, still on his phone, I make coffee peacefully and with solace, and I make a lot of it. I don't care if I will battle to sleep after consuming two or three mugs of coffee at this time. I just miss it so much.

"Here, try it." I mutter, positioning a mug of hot, steaming coffee on the table, and he sniffs it. I take mine and start walking out of the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" His voice stops me in my tracks, and I turn to him.

"To have my coffee."

"There is a lot of space here." He says, putting his phone down, pulling another stool, and patting it. I don't move because I don't want to misunderstand the gesture. He wants me to sit beside him. "Am I that scary that you don't want to sit with me?" He asks.

"Aah.. no! It's just that...nothing." I walk back and sit on the stool after pulling it away from him a little.

"I don't bite, for your peace of mind." He says, taking a sip of his coffee, and another, and another, and then he gulps the third sip, looking up and tilting his head slowly from side to side.

As he faces up with his eyes closed, I look at him. I hadn't had time to have a close look at him since I met him. He leaves early in the morning and comes home late and exhausted. Even now, his face looks so tired, and the way he is rotating his neck is a result of tiredness.

"Don't stare too much." He says this and opens his eyes, his hand grabbing his mug of coffee again, not looking in my direction.

How embarrassing! I know my cheeks look like tomatoes right now. He caught me staring at him. I hope he doesn't think ill of me. I take my coffee and sip slowly, enjoying its taste down my throat.

"Who taught you how to make this?" He breaks the silence. Looking at him, I realize he is taking the last sip of his coffee. That was fast!

"My mom did. She also taught me how to prepare different kinds of dishes. You like the coffee?"

"It's the best I have had in my life." He says this, and for the first time, he glimmers at me. Adrian is smiling, huh? He must have had a very beautiful day at work to act like this. Or maybe he went on a blind date that turned out well? Damn!

"There is more. You want some?" I ask, shyly smiling.

"Sure."

I bring the remaining coffee, pour him a full mug, and fill mine too. We drink until the jar is empty, and I am glad that he at least looks a bit glossy in the end. There was nothing much said, and that puts me at ease.

"Thank you for the coffee," Andy says as he stands up to leave.

"Welcome." I take the cups and walk to the sink to wash them.

"Can you make some for Angel tomorrow after school, please?" He softly asks, standing beside me.

Why is he requesting this? I thought bosses were supposed to give orders. To command. But he is kind of different.

"Of course. I will gladly prepare it for her. I hope she likes it."

"She certainly will. I'm sure." He adds it with certainty and pats my shoulder. "Goodnight." And she walks out of the kitchen, leaving me here blushing like an idiot.

I didn't know this side of him, but I like it already. I finish washing the utensils and drying up the sink, hoping that I will see myself cooking in this kitchen someday. There is no harm in keeping hope alive, is there?

Just as I am about to lock the kitchen so that I can retire to bed, I hear Adrian's phone buzz from where we were seated. Did he forget his phone? I didn't intend to, but I happened to see the caller. I swear, it wasn't intentional. Ambrose, Andy's PA, is the one calling. Well, at least it's not this other gender. Sigh!

I grab the phone, lock the door quickly, and run upstairs to Adrian's room on the right, next to Angel's. I knocked three times, and I was about to leave when the door opened, and Andy was standing in front of me with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He was taking a shower, and man, he looks so damn hot. So hot and cute. His tight muscles on display and his flat, broad chest are bewitching my mind. And those wet lips, ooh gosh!

"You brought more coffee?" He spoke when I just stood here like a zombie, ogling him like a piece of meat I could devour in a flash. It must be the effect of seeing a man like this for the first time. Yeah?

"Coffee? Y.E.S., I mean, coffee! Aah...no, sorry! I mean the phone. Yes. I brought your phone because you forgot it in the kitchen and Ambrose was calling, and you" His eyes and raised eyebrows stop me, making me realize I have been ranting nonstop. What is wrong with me?

"Oookay...Thank you." He says this, taking the phone.

"Aah... I'll go now. Bye, I mean, goodnight, Andy." I say that and walk as fast as I can to my room.

I can't be tempted to look back because I know I made a total fool of myself back there. Jeez! What is he thinking of me right now? Good job, Miss Tania Lawson, for embarrassing yourself!

A good book to read. Taina’s biggest downfall was lack of self worth, that lead to harboring secrets that repeatedly lead to a disaster.

A LITTLE ACCIDENT
I wake up to the ringing sound of the alarm beside my bed. It's six in the morning and another week is smoothly coming to an end.Life here is amazingly sweet, especially if you have a boss like mine. Andy is a good boss and a terrific daddy to Angel. He is a workaholic, yes, but I idolize how he creates time to spend with his daughter. I admire how he is encompassed in his daughter's activities and life in general. Even when he arrives home late after the little girl has gone to bed, his first stop would be at his daughter's room. For instance, he came home so late last night and wasn't able to have a chat with his daughter. To make up for that, after we shared our coffee, which has become a ritual, by the way, he told me that he will be the one to take Angel to school. He even wanted to be the one to prepare her for school, but I insisted on doing that. I'm delighted about the fact that he is such a kind boss, but there is no way I will take advantage of that. I came here to work and

SHOPPING WITH ANDY
After our embarrassing situation earlier today with Andy, I wrapped up cleaning and came to relax on the couch as always, waiting for the lunch delivery.Andy has since not come out of the study. When we finally pulled away, after asking me if I was alright and I nodded my head that I was, he excused himself to go change from his then-wet clothes, and I was left to dry the floor. Only after I was done and out of that room did I see him going in.It's now twelve, and I am done doing my chores already. I was just thinking about that feeling earlier, when I was on top of him. On top, huh? My mind is becoming so nasty, and I abhor how my body is fascinated by these wildly crazy thoughts."Are you sure you didn't get hurt earlier?" That is Andy's voice, and he parks himself on the next couch."Yes. I am alright, sir. I mean, Andy!" "Okay. Take that stool out of that room immediately. Tidy up only where you can reach. I will not be there to fetch you next time." "Okay. I apologize for what

AFTER KISS, KNOW YOUR PLACE!
AFTER KISS, KNOW YOUR PLACEI stand in front of my dressing mirror in my room and take a good look at myself, admiring the lady I'm seeing in the reflection. It's funny how I look, or should I say, how differently I think I look in just a new dress. I did not know that just a small change, like a new dress, could make someone feel so different. I feel so new, just like the new silky red dress which perfectly hugs my curves, showing my exact figure. Part of those heavy shopping bags Andy brought from the shopping mall was actually mine. He shopped for me. Adrian - freaking - Ashton, shopped for me, and I still can't believe it. The most interesting part is how he knew my size and my taste. Every single dress he bought perfectly fits me. God bless my boss! After admiring myself enough, I slide my fluffy sandals on and grab my phone from the bed and start downstairs. The sandals are also new, and of course, from Adrian. Descending the stairs, I get to the living room where Angel is wait

COLD TREATMENTS
There have existed four days since the scolding I received from Adrian, meaning it's a Friday. The sun has already gone down, dusk is taking over, and I am currently desolately straddled at our favourite locale in the kitchen, reminiscing about how horrible the week has been. I know I had said that my monthly cycle weeks are disastrous ones, but please, I take that back now. The cold and tight-lipped antidote I have received from Adrian these past four days is way too much and has not allowed me to rest.He is awfully distant. We don't share coffee anymore. We don't talk, and if we do, it's only greetings, and maybe a question here and there which is only about his daughter. To top it all off, I was discontinued from taking Angel to and from school. He wakes up early to prepare her and drops her off at school then he proceeds to his work. In the evening, he sends the chauffeur to pick her up from school, and take her to him in his office. I am left here with almost no work at all, and

A BLAST APOLOGY
"I'm sorry. I just thought that it was the best way to address my boss." I rant. I don't even know where I got the bravery to mumble that. He looks away for a minute, still not letting go of my hand. "I don't know who has a memory disorder between you and me, but I think I recollect ordering you to drop the sir. Am I right?" He questions, rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb, which I'm sure he doesn't know he is doing. I nod my head in response to his question. "It's Andy, for you." He adds. "Okay.""Okay...?""Okay, Andy!""Good." He releases my hand, and I go to pour him coffee, after which I settle back on my stool next to him, but I keep my eyes away from him. I don't know whether he still wants to strangle me or if he has let the matter go. The fact is, I made a mess which I am still so ashamed of, and I have no idea how to clean it up. Will he ever forgive me?"Do you want to say something?" Snapping my eyes at him, I notice he is watching my restless fingers. It feel

WILD DREAM
***I am scouring the dishes when suddenly I felt strong arms draping around my midsection from my back. The familiarity, and perhaps the longing of this feeling, stirs a thousand emotions, making me shiver in their embrace. I turn around to face my armour, my prince charming, my knight in shining armour! His tall figure towers over me, and his dark brown eyes are sparkling with delight at seeing the joy of his heart—me, of course. "Finally, you are here?" I softly say, resting my hands on his chest after drying them with a kitchen towel, my eyes not leaving his. "Did you miss me?" He asks softly as he carefully positions me against his lean composure, his hands caressing my posterior. I stand on the tips of my toes to match his adorable height and wrap my hands around his neck, feeling his warmth and breathing his air. "I missed you so much. So, so much, Andy!" I say, scanning his lips with desire. "I was thinking of you the whole day, my love." I cup his face, caressing it with my

JUST ONE KISS
"W..hat .. are...you doing here?" I ask, after acknowledging that my dream has swivelled into reality. I dart my eyes around the room and realize that the window curtain has been moved to the sides, and the windows are open. There is a little sunlight today, maybe marking the end of winter. Before answering my question, Andy grins, and I take the shot to glare at him. Doesn't he look abnormally raw and straight-faced for such an early morning? No eye bags, no logs, no gloomy face, and no signs of somnolence. My! Handsomeness comes with its outstanding package of windfalls, I suppose. Damn! "What were you dreaming about? I knocked, I called, but you did not hear. I thought you might have developed a fever overnight, only to walk in on you..." Murmuring your name in my stupid dream? Fantasizing about you? Shit! He freaking heard me! What the... "Snoring!" He attempts to lie, but the devilish smirk on his face deludes him. Even his four-year-old daughter can tell he is prevaricating

FIRST MEAL. CATCHING UP WITH FRIENDS
We are perched around our dining table having desserts after a luscious meal that consisted of vegetable rice, chapatis, scorched chicken, and curry stew. I had quite an arduous time preparing all that in under three hours, but I am glad I made it with the great aid of my co-chef, Andy. He roasted the chicken; the only part where he required my assistance was the ingredients to use in the marinade. The rest of the roasting was done without my help. I am also delightfully ecstatic that what occurred in the morning did not get in the way of our interactions. Until now, we have been acting naturally civil. The banquet was mouthwatering, evidently because everybody can't stop complementing it until now, and my friend, Rita, well, she can't stop telling them how good my cooking has been since I was little, and I am starting to feel uncomfortable. She has even confessed to stealing my lunchbox at school once, which I can't believe she did. "Well, that's enough, guys! You are making me unc

A LITTLE TRUTH ABOUT ANDY
It's Friday again, and it has been another week of pure euphoria and harmony. The bond between me and Andy has augmented tremendously, and I am so over the moon about it. We sit in this kitchen for hours enunciating about anything and everything in general after Angel goes to bed, enjoying our usual lemon and honey coffee which Andy can't skip even for a single day. The cooking in this house has become a permanent responsibility for me too. I prepare their.., sorry, our, every single meal, and I am so delighted for Andy's trust in me to do this. They love my food, so much, and now Andy does not eat anywhere else. No offence, but I am freaking bragging about it. It's an achievement for me. I am patiently waiting for that day he will ask me to be packing his lunch for him so that I can break my legs jumping up and down with joy. Meh! Deep sigh! That sounds like the eighth wonder. Aside from all that, I am also in equilibrium now because I know the bank will not be bugging my parents a
