Brody's POV
I drove into my organization and parked my car in the parking lot. It was a short but boring drive, walking into the organization, almost everyone scurried to their seats except my best friend. He looked at me with a smile. "What's the problem?" Alex asked.I became confused. I didn't remember informing him of any problem, I didn't know where he got the idea from. "I don't understand you."He chuckled. "I mean, we all know that you only come here when you're angry or you want to sack someone." I frowned. "That's not true," I told him, he looked surprised and perplexed. "I mean, it's not a lie but I don't always sack my workers." His brow furrowed in consternation. "Really?"I glanced through the hall, everyone seemed to mind their business. They avoided looking at me. "Is that the reason they all ran to their seats when they saw me?" I asked."No one's to get on your bad side." He answered. I shook my head in shock and wKaren's POVI knocked on the door for about 2 minutes before Emily finally opened the door. "What were you doing?" I asked her and walked into house.Throwing my bag on the table, I slumped down on the sofa tired. "That question should be directed to you." She answered.I frowned, raising an eyebrow. "I don't really understand your point.""Where have you been?"I chuckled. "I came home this morning, I didn't meet you at home. I wondered if you didn't sleep here.""I slept at Henry's apartment." She confessed and I rolled my eyes."Why?" I asked, surprised."I was scared of staying alone." She answered with a smirk.I nodded and smiled at her. "It's your fault, you watched a horror film.""I'm not the one who's at fault, what happened? Did you guys do anything?" I asked, sitting up. I wanted to hear everything that transpired between them last night.She frowned. "The guy is a little bit dumb, the main re
Brody's POVI drove into the compound and I was surprised to see Helen, my sister together with her son waiting outside. I quickly parked my car and came down from the car.Walking towards them with a smile, Diego hugged me and I giggled. "Hi, I didn't know you would come tonight." I told her.She chuckled. "Yeah, I lied. I know that." She said as we walked into my house. My maids went to carry Diego's bag to the guest room.I adjusted my tie and sat down on the sofa. "Sir, will you like to eat now?" Lisa, one of the maids asked.I shook my head and turned to look at Diego, admiring his attitude and face, I smiled. "Your son is really cute." I commented."Thank you." Diego appreciated and I beamed with excitement."I was hoping to see your girlfriend, where is she?" Asked Helen.I turned to face her as she sat down. "Girlfriend?" I asked back, shocked. I didn't know mom told them already."We'll be visiting soon, mom told everyone about
Karen's POVWe arrived at his house late at night and his children ran to hug him. "Who's this?" Tricia asked her dad, pointing to me.He smiled at me and replied. "She's Karen Miller, my junior at school."Tricia looked at me, her face lightened up with a smile as she turned to look at Alvin. "I like that lady." She told him and I blushed."We bought you pizza." I muttered, surprised at how casual and carefree my voice sounded, Brody handed them the pizza, giggling.I watched the happy family and wondered why he said his children were sad. They certainly didn't look sad. "Please seat." Brody offered and I sat down comfortably on the sofa.I nodded and sat down as Alvin walked towards me. "We like you, Karen." He muttered."Thanks," I said and kissed his cheeks. "Come here." I added and raised him up, placing him on my lap.Tricia came to meet me, putting on an excited face. "Thank you for the pizza." She murmured."You're welcome."
Karen's POVI walked towards the door and tried to open it. It was already locked. My heart skipped a beat wondering how troublesome his children could be. "Tricia.... Alvin, open this door right now." I commanded in the most authoritative voice."Stay there for sometime, have fun." Tricia replied loudly from outside the door.The images of knives and sharp objects filled my head. "Don't go to the kitchen," I shouted, wondering if they heard me. When there was no reply, I sat down feeling dejected. "What do you think they're doing?" I asked."Planning a surprise." He answered, looking at his face, I wondered if he even cared about his children."This is all your fault. I shouldn't have come to your bedroom.""I'm sorry, I didn't know the children will act like this." He apologized to me. I blamed myself for coming to his house. It was all my fault, I silently hoped Brody didn't call Emily to ask about my whereabouts.I looked at him and an id
Brody's POV"What are you doing here?" I asked and fear gripped her. She was definitely trying to be bold but it was not helping matters."I'm here...."I interrupted. "What are you doing here late at night? It's already 12pm." I told him and she gasped.I was already fuming with anger but I was able to control my anger because we were not truly dating or in love with each other. How would a responsible woman be found in a man's house late at night, not just any man but her therapist?"You don't have the right to make me feel like an object." She said.I chuckled and responded nicely. "I'm not making you feel like an object."She frowned. "We just signed a contract but you're already monitoring my activities, did we agree on that?" She asked annoyed."I should be angry and not you." I muttered."And why shouldn't I be angry? Don't make me regret signing your contract." She remarked, a serious yet threatening tone lacing her voice."Y
Brody's POVLooking at her, I was totally confused. Why was it so hard for her to lie to him? "I'm his girlfriend." She finally told him."That's nice.""Thanks Diego, I've heard a lot about you from Brody." She lied and I chuckled silently."You're pretty and I can't wait for our family to get to know you when granny....""Diego?" I interrupted and ruffled his hair, I didn't want him to tell her that my mother was coming. "You should go to your room now." I told him with a smile.
Karen's POVWalking out of diego's room, I found him talking with his male visitor. "Karen, this is huh Alex." Brody introduced and I glared at him."I can introduce myself," Alex replied and looked at me, he smiled charmingly and I didn't seem to give him any response. "I'm Brody's best friend and personal assistant."I nodded with a smile. "I'm Karen Miller." I replied and caught my breath. I felt myself flush with an inner warmth I couldn't contain. I slowly turned to look at Brody. "Can I see you for a second? There's something important we need to talk about."He surveyed me thoughtfully and with a slow, sensual smile, he came over to meet me and we both climbed the stairs. We walked into the room and I hurriedly closed the door and turned to look at him. "How could you?" I asked, surprised as he pushed the words through his gritted teeth.He blinked at my stunned attitude. "Are you alright?""Your mother is coming right?" I asked and
Brody’s POVIt had been so hectic for me. With my work going on smoothly, I knew my mom would definitely meet Karen. I knew it would be a BUMMER!I quickly closed my drawer as soon as Alex walked into my office and dropped a file on my table. “That’s the report, we’ve become the best soap-producing factory and I’m sure your dad would be proud of you.”I countered with a frown. “I don’t care.”His smile was feeling a little frozen. “How about Karen? I’m sorry, but I might not come for the party tonight.” He explained gently.I nodded swiftly. “Karen already knows about the party, and she already knows that my family would be coming. She’s not used to parties and fun, I was not sure if she would cooperate and pretend to be my girlfriend.” He replied.Alex fiddled with a pen before dropping it on the table. “I can’t wait for
