Summer~~
My thoughts keeps getting deeper as I walked towards Mr Dale's room -- 365.
This isn't our first meeting here, I knocked on the room door and was permitted to enter. And, as usual I met Mr Dale in his usual sh*t.
What I meant by usual sh*t is his habit of drinking alcohol and also working on his laptop. He is always like that when we meet, he is what people called a workalcholic at the same time a drunker.
"Miss Shrap, you are here" He said and stopped working on his computer.
"Yes" I answered and sat on a chair beside the bed he was seated.
"You said you have a huge information for me?" I asked impatiently.
"Come on, Miss Shrap. Exercise patience"
"Look Mr Dale, am not here for to play. I left something important to be here so you tell me what it is about or I leave"
"Ok" he picked a file placed beside him on the bed and gave it to me.
"What is it?" I asked collecting the file from him.
"Just Open it" He said with a shit eating grin.
I unfold the file in my hand and my jaw dropped shocked by the unexpected thing I saw here.
I picked the pictures in the files surprised and shocked.
"This is Charles Eden?" I asked astonished.
"Yes, I know you are shocked, anyone will be"
"But why did he lied?"
"I don't know and I don't care. It depends on you, what are you doing to do with this?" Mr Dale asked while I twitched my lips.
"Hmm, what exactly can I do with this?"
A deal struck my mind.
I will make a deal with this.
Eden Company limited.
(The CEO Office)
"Good morning sir" The workers passing by greets Charles as he walked passed them.
"Morning" He answered with a bright smile, his personal assistant and at the same time his secretary Vivian walked side with him.
Some male workers winked at him as he passed them, and he also replied to the wink.
Some female workers groaned in jealousy while some looked at him disgusted.
Well, who won't? Your handsome, rich boss is a gay, who won't take any interest in ladies, no matter how hard you try to impress him. The only woman in his life is his PA Vivian.
She knows everything about the gay billionaire, his secret, his flaws, who he sees and who he doesn't.
They both head to his office, his PA locked the door as soon as they entered the office.
"What are my schedule for today?" Charles required removing his coat and took a seat while his secretary bring out her tablet.
"You have a meeting with Mr McCall at exact 12."
"You are meeting the worker at Eden Electronic for the new project we are launching next week, you will also have lunch with them"
"Then a dinner with Mr Smith.... " She stopped and sighed.
"What is it?" Charles asked concerned by her attitude.
"Mr Smith is kind of into men" She said while Charles clenched his fist.
"It is OK, I also need something like that not to make things suspicious"
"Alright sir, he hasn't decided where you will meet but, I will let you know as soon as his secretary calls me"
"Ok" he replied rubbing his sweaty hands again. He seems anxious and nervous, Vivian looked at me with a frown.
She knows what that means, she folded her hands together.
"Why won't you ask? Am the only one here anyway, I have told you many times to ask when you are in the mood. You know it will only bring more trouble if you try to hold it back"
"But you haven't recovered from yesterday, am afraid I might hurt you again" Charles expressed himself, guilt written on his face.
"But am not complaining, am I Charles? You don't have to worry about me, as long as you are OK then am ok" Vivian responded.
Well, Vivian has been Charles secretary for three years now but before she become his secretary and PA, she was his friend, his best friend. Even if Vivian considered Charles to be more than that, to her he is her first love and the man who took her Virginity.
Yes, the gay took her Virginity.
She willl do anything for him.
Vivian Logan, 28 year old, pretty, has a perfect shape that will drive any guy crazy, she is smart and reliable, but with all her perfection she is obsessed with her boss.
She wants something than just being the gay secretary, she wants to be his wife. It has been her lifetime wish and she won't give up till she gets what she wants.
"Do you want us to do it here or go back to your penthouse?" She asked while Charles exhaled deeply.
He knows she has not recover from yesterday incident but if he keeps trying to hold back then the worst might happen.
"I think we should......" He was cut short because of the loud voice coming from outside.
"What is going on?" Charles asked.
"I don't know but I will go check" Vivian said and went to the door, she opens the door and saw the security man trying to stop a lady who she recognises as the reporter Shrap.
"What is going on here?" Vivian asked. "This woman claimed that she wanted to see the CEO but I have tried stopping her but she won't listen" The man tried explaining.
"I can see you really tried, that is why she is here" She insulted the security man while Summer scoffed.
"You can get back to your post" Vivian ordered and the man bowed and exits the scene.
"Miss Shrap, what can I do to help you?" Vivian asked respectfully.
"I want to speak with your boss" Summer replied rudely.
"Am sorry but that won't be possible, he is busy" Vivian said with a smile ignoring how annoying summer can be.
"That is bad, but am going to see him" Summer objected trying to enter but Vivian holds her back.
"What is going on here?" They heard a thick voice and stopped.
"Am sorry sir, she said she want to see you but I have tried stopping her, she won't listen"
"Who are you?" Charles asked.
"Ah" She sighed arranging her rough hair. She brings out her business card from her suit trousers pocket and stretched it to him but he rejected the card.
"What do you want?"
"Nice meeting you too Mr Charles, am here to make a deal" She smiled like she has finally hit her jackpot.
'Whoever knows he will be her jackpot' She thought.
Summer~"A deal with me" He asked chuckling."Yes, Mr Eden""Am sorry, but I don't think there is something to talk about with you. If you will excuse me..." He gave his secretary a sign to show me the way out."We are quite busy" He completed his statement.Quite annoying I must say.He seems not to know who he's dealing with."I see, then you won't mind seeing on the news tomorrow that Charles Eden isn't a gay" I smiled devilishly and he looked at me shocked and devastated.The same look was on his secretary."What did you just say?""You heard me right, you won't mind seeing it on the news tomorrow that you aren't a gay. Oh this headline will be good, Charles Eden the gay billionaire is not who he claims to BE" I spurt stressing the BE."What was your name again?" He asked scratching his hair."Summer Shrap" I answered."Would you like a cup of tea?"***********"So, what
Summer~~~"Marry me" I spurted out standing in front of the window with my hands in my pocket acting like I was looking outside but the truth is am just as nervous and confused as them but at the same time desperate."What? Is this some kind of proposal or something" Charles asked totally confused by my request.I moved away from the window back to the seat with my leg crossed."Am serious, Mr Eden. In exchange to keep your secret you must marry me and support me with your shares in Shrap broadcasting corporation.""That is my offer, it is up to you whether you it take or not""Mmmh if what you said is true, then that means I hide that am straight and not a gay but then you are asking me to reveal to the public that am not gay by marrying you?""That is where you are wrong, we could do a silent wedding. People doesn't have to know about it, you just marry me, I will go living in your house silently""Wait, live in my ho
The Shrap's MansionSummer~~I kept looking at my phone for Charles call, this has been my attitude recently since we've met.Waiting for him to call, to accept my deal. It probably sounds crazy to him, but am desperate for it.With his shares supporting mine, it will be equal to Dora's shares too.All that matters now is who my dad gives his shares?Why is he not calling? Does he counts my threats useless or did I went too far.Maybe I should never have proposed a marriage."Should I call him?" I speak out loud."Call who?" My dad asked and I looked at him. That was when my attention was brought back, that I was in the presence of my parents having breakfast."What?""Who you are calling? You haven't touch your food since the maids served you" he said concerned."Is there something wrong?""Ah, I don't really have an appetite" I lied and picked the fork."Is that really the
"No, don't touch me. You disgust me. No, bella don't. Don't die, am sorry. Bella, no, no, no......" Charles screamed out from his nightmare."Ah, ah" He panted after waking up from a terrible nightmare or rather his terrible nightmare.His loud screams also woke Vivian who was on the bed with him naked."What happened?" She asked trying to touch Charles, plunge in confusions and worries."No, don't" He said and move away from her with his hands on his ear like he is trying to stop the voice from his head.*YOU MONSTER, YOU KILLED ME* He keep hearing voices in his head.Vivian stood up from the bed, wrapped the bed sheet on her body, and approached him not caring it might be dangerous in the way he is."It is alright" She said trying to calm him down."She said I killed her, she said am a monster. Am not a monster right? I didn't kill her right?" Charles asked pacing around the space as if he was a mad man no he is close to becoming
"Be my bride" Charles smirked while Summer blinked repeatedly in awe.Shocked by his response, she never expected him to agree that easily.It was more easy than she thought."What?" Charles said seeing that she kept shut. He took a step away from her, he put his hands inside his pocket."You don't want to?" He asked. "If you don't want to, then forget it...""No, of course I want to" Summer replied before he could finish his statement."I will marry you" She said and Charles smile but quickly wave it off."Ok Miss Shrap, my secretary will get back to you" he said while Summer scoffed in displeasure."Don't worry, I will contact you this time" He said as if he knows what she was thinking about."I hope so, Mr Eden. Till I see you" She faked a smile and left his sitting room.As soon as she got outside, she jumped in excitement.She is sure he will keep his promise this time, both the marriage and he will contact
"You must think you have won but dear big sis, the game have just start. Be careful, you might not win this battle" Summer words kept ringing inside Dora head.It kept disturbing her. What does she mean? Does she has an hidden card?"No, that can't be. She has no card, even her supporter aren't as much as her especially with her husband Edwin McCain" Dora lamented to herself.Could she be just bluffing? That is it she has to be bluffing?She has already won the fight, her father is going to give her his shares soon.So Summer has nothing to do but yet her words kept disturbing her.She knows her sister doesn't talk without a proof or something to back her up.If she has a supporter, who will that be? Who? She rack her brain trying to think of something but nothing came into mind."Love" Her husband said joining her on the bed and kissed her neck.She smiled in approach, "What is wrong?" He asked and she turned to him."
Charles opened his eyes and take Vivian's hands off him, "Get out" He tried not to raise his voice."Charles!!!" She called surprised by his actions."If it isn't me, then let me call you a girl" She suggested but he refused."Get out Vivian, please"She gritted her teeth and stood up, she went to where her shirt and bra was. She picked it and put it on, she saw as he took the drug.Why is he doing this? He is hurting himself for what?She picked the file on the floor and dropped it on his table, she turned to leave but he stopped her."Vivian" he called and she quickly turned to him hoping he has changed his mind."Call Miss Shrap, bring her to my penthouse" He ordered."Ok""And also when she is with me, I will like you to address me as Sir not Charles. If possible don't call me by my name even when we are alone" He ordered and she bit her lips annoyed by his words."Yes sir" She complied with
SummerWe arrived at Charles penthouse, I won't lie everything about him screams wealth. Is he trying to show off his wealth to me by asking me to come here" I scoffed at my thought.But I still find it somehow cute. I giggled and Vivian looked at me, I clearly scrum that smile off my face and put on my serious face."Please wait here, he will be here soon" She said and left me.'What the hell is wrong with her?' I thought and took a seat. Whenever she is with me she's always acting like she is in a battle. My thoughts was short-lived when Charles entered.I quickly stood up and adjusted myself. "Mr Eden" I called and stretch my hand for an handshake but he refused it.I clenched my fist together and faked a smile. "Follow me" He demanded and I did. I followed him to a small flower house in his penthouse."Have a seat" he said and I took my seat.Sec later, Vivian also entered. "Here is it, Mr Eden" Vivian said an
Her heart was filled with nothing, but sadness as she looked at the divorce paper in front of her. Dora hand shakes, as she picked up a pen to sign the paper.Is she really prepared to do this? To divorce her husband? Thinking about divorcing him makes her so sad, but then again he cheated on her.She can't forgive him.Her thought was short-lived when her secretary entered her office."You have a visitor, I called your phone but you didn't pick it" Her secretary Zara explained while Dora sighed."Am not in the mood to take visitors, just tell the person to go back""She said it is quite important, and it's about the board meeting" Her secretary reported."Let her in then""Ok" Her secretary bowed then left. Vivian entered a minute after Zara left."Hello Mrs McCain, I believe you know who I am" Vivian said with a devilish grin."What is Mr Eden Secretary doing here? I don't recall having  
Vivian took Charles to the living room, and had him sit on the couch."I don't understand her. She isn't the only one hurt here, she is just so annoying. Are you hurt?" She asked Charles, but he couldn't respond her.She hates him now, Summer hates him now. Maybe, his sister was right. He shouldn't have never been born, he should have just died, then he won't be experiencing all this.Why does this have to happen to him? And his victim, now Summer."Just forget everything she said""How could I? I don't think I will be able to. I deserve to die, no I should have died a long time. Monsters like me doesn't deserve to live, I hate myself Vivian" He cries."I wish I could just die right this moment"Vivian took a seat beside him, and hugged him."It isn't your fault, some things are just not meant to be the same way we want it to be. You aren't a monster, you are the most kindest person I have ever seen" She console him
Nothing ever goes the way, we wanted. There are sweet times, but the hard times are more hard to accept or overcome. Sometimes, marriage is sweet and sometimes it is sore.That was what she recently find out, she thought she had the prefect marriage, a marriage based on love and truth. But all that was in her marriage was all lies, deceit, he betrayed her, her trust and love."Her marriage was all lies" Dora chuckled and picked the glass of wine on the table.She heard the door opened and went to take a seat on the sofa, with her legs crossed."Dora" Edwin called, his eyes filled with guilt."You are back, I was starting to miss you, and you appeared""Dora, listen I can explain""Explain what? What are you talking about? Did you do anything wrong? Or were you hiding things from me?" She asked pretending. She was aware, he heard what happened between her and his mistress from her."Dora, am sorry. I was going to tel
The morning light shines on Charles's face, it was so bright that he thought he slept outside. Especially where the place he was laid on cold. "Umm," He groaned, his right hand placed on his forehead. His head hurts so much, he opened his eyes and noted that he was naked and he slept on the floor. "That is strange" He thought. "Did something happened?" He asked no one particular, trying to recall what happened but he couldn't. His eyes met with a dress on the floor, which triggered some memories but it wasn't clear. "Did Vivian came last night?"How come I can't remember?" He questioned confused. He stood up from the floor, his eyes landed on the Jean pant he wore yesterday, he picked them and put them on. "What happened last night?"He gazed around his room, that was when he noticed a lady on his bed. He couldn't see the face, because it was the lady back that was facing him. He tried recalling if he had
Dora sighed as she took a step toward the apartment in front of her, she can't keep hiding that she knows the truth.She wanted to see his mistress face, and his children.She wanted to be sure, if the investigator was wrong. She knows how fruitless that thought was, but she still needs to be sure.She pressed the door bell. "Coming" A tiny voice said and the door opened.A young boy came out, he looks just like him. The resemblance was just too clear, he has another family."Who are you?" The boy asked but she couldn't say a word. She tried talking but no word came out."Danny, who is it?" His mother said coming out of the kitchen, she walked to the door and gasped shocked when she saw Dora."You..." She stutteredDora looked at her, she felt like strangling her to death. No she has been convincing herself that she came here to check if the investigator was right but that was all lies. Her true motivation was killing his husba
Charles placed Summer head on the floor, for him to stand up and carry her. He carried her to her room, placing her on the bed, and used the blanket to cover her."Goodnight" He said and tucked her hair.As he was about to stand up, his eyes landed on her n*ples that was when he noticed she wasn't in her underwear. Seeing this, he felt aroused. He was so tempted to touch her, all the voices in his head was screaming he should touch her.Of course, they aren't close to do such. How will he do such to her? "Then you can force your way inside her" A voice said and he moved some step away from Summer who was still asleep recognizing the voice.What scares him was the image in front of him, even though it was an hallucination.The image in front of him was of a small girl probably around eleven or more."Bella" He called."You did the same to me, you forced yourself inside me. You didn't care, I begged you but you didn't listen. I was ju
The next day came as flash, summer still couldn't figure out the reason she was sad, and mostly Charles cold attitude towards her.They have cross part like more than five times, today, but he chose to ignore her. He was so cold to her, that he didn't even reply to her greetings.He made it so obvious that he was angry with her, that got Summer thinking what could she have done wrong?It was weekend today, which means no going to work, or stress. She could also tell that Charles was also not going to work, since he was in the living room watching a show, which he hardly does on a normal day.“Are you not going to work today?” Summer asked but he didn't answer her.She frowned, and sat on the chair with Charles. “What are you watching?” She said, trying her total best to ignore him.He scowled, stood up and went to sit in the other.“Ok, what is going on?”“What do you mean?” He replied, his eyes not leaving the TV.“Why are y
In everyone's life, there are moments you regret, moments you hate, and the moments you feel happy and loved.Summer tried recalling that kind of memories as she was seated in her car with her sister if she ever created that kind of memory with her. Well, there was one. The day her sister treated her like she is important, the day she was almost bullied in school. That is the only memory of love and happiness with her, the rest were hatred and fights.But now, seeing her sister crying. She regrets it, it hurts her heart a lot. She's never seen her this sad and unhappy, today is the first. And it breaks her heart, that she could feel tears prickled her eyes.“What happened?” She asked handling Dora another tissue paper.Dora sniffed, using the tissue to clean her tears. “Nothing, nothing happened to me”“Don't lie to me, Dora. I can see it in your eyes, you are hurt and in pain. Did something happen between you an
Summer didn't know how she got home, Charles words totally startled her."I am his type, me?" She asked pointing to herself."He called me his type?" She giggled not caring about the maids with her."Am his type" She screamed scaring the maids."Are you alright?" One of them asked but got no answer.She walked passed them, straight to her room. "But why is she so happy?" She stopped walking at the thought of it.She slapped her cheeks with her two hands. "Summer, get a grip at yourself. You are Summer Shrap, and it is a contract marriage. No string attached, if you fall for him. There is no cure" She said to herself and went on her bed.She slumbed on it, removed her shoe when a call came in. She picked it without checking the caller."Hello""Miss Shrap, it been long. You totally forgot about me" The caller said while Summer shivered."Mr Dale??""Of course, who else will it be? You didn't even give me
