Prologue

Have you made all your estimates?” she asked brushing the hair strands that flew into her face, a tiny strip of hair lay across her face, coming in contact with her eyes and the bridge of her nose.The wind in her hair agitated her a bit, had it be known it would be this windy today, she would have gladly tied her hair in a tight bun.Leonardo could not still comprehend the push that nudged him to gently peel off the hair smeared on her face.It felt so natural to have physical contact with her, his blood boiled to the highest degree possible with just a touch of her.Her smooth caramelized skin felt so right in his hands, his gaze on her became intent as he slowly removed her hair from her eyes.Alison stood her ground well too strong if you ask her, she had to if not she would buckle quickly on her legs who were on the verge of giving up on standing.Her eyes remained locked in his, the attraction was fatal.Her thoughts were at sea as he came closer to her, for some unknown reason

Lovely storyline, but book needs editing (incomplete sentences, run on sentences). Chapter 19 is there two times. Chapter 33 also repeats. Good ending, but it was rushed.

“Samantha!”Alison growled in annoyance as she scribbled on her draft.Samantha noticing her mother’s glare gave her her signature cheeky smile, her eyes dancing in pure mischief.“Baby! What have you done?” Alison came forward to her work desk surveying the degree of the mess. She gave Sam her toughest glare but the little girl’s expression was indifferent.She noticed the tug at her gown looking down Samantha looked at her Mom in a needy manner.“Mom, Sam is hungry,” she said rubbing her tummy.Her anger reduced a whole lot as she could not punish Sam for ruining her work. Samantha was not aware she ruined mommy’s work.“Come.” She ordered softly and Samantha followed. Entering the kitchen she collected the bread slices and rubbed a generous amount of peanut butter on them.Pouring Sam’s favorite apple juice in her juice cup, she placed her on her desk and was about to feed her.“Stop Mommy, Sam would feed herself.” She said proudly.“Don’t make a mess Okay?” Alison said and went to

It was an honour for Fort Arch And Designs, to receive a client such as Mr Wilson.He was well known and was a ticket for bringing more affluent clients if he gives a good recommendation. That is why Alison was given the job to take care of his demands and expectations. She was the best architect the company has and this was her first global client. She has to make sure all comes out well for her reputation and the company's reputation.She sank further into the tube and relished the hot steam penetrating her skin it relieved her pour sore muscles from sitting so long on the plane.After a good fifteen minutes, she had to get out of the shower even though she doesn't want to, knowing she might be late if she did not prepare on time.She dried herself up with a towel and picked out her professional wear, splaying it on the bed to avoid rumpling.She then layered the cream on her skin and hurriedly combed the long mane of her brunette hair.Applying a little mascara to bring out the lig

Alinard three

Opposite Alison was the man she bumped into yesterday. He requested to sit at the vacant seat opposite her and she allowed him.He wore a simple T-shirt and light jean trousers. His hair hung low and seemed heavy, it looked damped but towel dried.He looked dashing nonetheless with the light enhancing his grey irises.Now she thought about it she was reconsidering her decision to let him sit here.For one, it was oddly quiet and the tension was very much thick. She wanted a quiet and relaxing dinner, not this.Secondly, she was afraid to look at him he might think she was swooned by his beauty like the waitress writing her number on the napkin she handed to him.She stared at the food in front of her, and for some unknown reason, her appetite went out the window.Her spoon roamed the plates thoughtfully."That is getting cold" His voice broke through her.Startled a bit, she sat upright and gave him a quick awkward smile.She ate her food slowly, "Tell me do I make you uncomfortable?"

The silence in the room did unnerve her but Alison held her ground to the finish. Glancing at the expressionless faces of Ms Rebecca and Leonardo, she could not comprehend their thoughts about the presentation she just carried out. The presentation was simply the overall idea she came up with of how the new diner should look like. Earlier she asked Mr Adriano to give his suggestions or his thoughts about how his new diner project should look like but he declined. He said he was eager to see what she came up with. Ms Rebecca, therefore, pushed her forward to carry out a little presentation to summarize the ideas for the restaurant. Yesterday she went to the site and instantaneously fell in love with the scene and the calm environment. Ideas kept throwing themselves at her. Looking at the land environment, she could feel the need for the diner to have a simple but elegant structure extending a bit into the river. Envisioning the outlook, the dining area should be outdoors to view

His breath hitched as he stared into her eyes, even if he tries he wasn't sure he could look away. Taking a sniff, he loves the way she smells like fresh spring flowers. Her presence carried vibrance and left him exhilarated. "And drop the formal tone. Just call me by my name." He said coolly. "This is business. We are bound to be formal and I don't appreciate the proximity, Mr. Leonardo." Her heart was beating faster than normal. "Leonardo not Mr. Leonardo. I promise you that I won't leave you easily if you call me Mr. title. You are still my friend for a day so drop all formalities." She kept quiet and she stepped backward she saw his smirk and smacked herself in her head seven times. Now he thinks she was affected by him, "You should blush more. It suits you," He admitted causing her to be thoroughly flushed. Leaving, they walked to the door Alison saw her driver and went to meet him. "Mr. you can take the car by to the hotel. I don't need your services now." "Also, go for

Alinard Six

Alison had Leonardo tailing her as she surveyed the area. Her notepad settling on her arm she walked around the whole land area, her legs ached endlessly. "The land measurements?" Stopping in her steps, Leonardo almost bumped into her. "Two acres" he replied casually. "No wonder my legs ache so much." She forcefully jerked her legs to and fro to get back the feeling. "You have been here before, so why are you complaining?" He said walking to her side, he stood beside her awaiting her response. She turned slowly towards him, "I've been here before doesn't mean I necessarily walked around and surveyed the land." He sensed a bit of assertiveness in her voice. Turning her attention to her notepad, she jotted down eagerly taking a glance again at the surroundings, and jotted more. He felt utterly useless at that moment. So much for having a private time with her, he stood in a place as she walked forward taking in more notes. She went towards the Riverside and observed, her gears

"Tying your hair into a bun won't stop me." he said matter-of-factly. "Yes I agree but I can. Stop teasing me Mr. Adriano, I have no time for such silly games, I kept myself reserved earlier because Mr. Johnson appeared. I would have given you an earful," She retorted crossing her elbow. He loved how fiery she can be. "What if he caught us if such compromising position? What would people say? And given that you are famous or popular. So I have heard, to what degree I am not aware of. I would not want to be entangled in your complicated life with my name tainted with tabloids gossips" Her voice came out very worried. She had all to lose but he had nothing. He came closer despite all her ranting, "Don't worry about proximity Alison. I won't cross my boundary until I make you mine completely." he thought to himself staring at her in an indecipherable way. She moved her body backward until it was at the end of the bank close to water. Mr. Johnson stood from afar making a phone call,

Alinard Eight

Why were they having this conversation?Food was the one thing she doesn't have an intensive knowledge of. Any food quiz she is bound to fail.Most of the food at home was prepared by Gran Karen other times, she mostly took takeouts and prepared the only thing she was good at for Sam.Either making a salad or sandwich would do until Gran Karen brought the food she home-cooked. Samantha loved Gran Karen food and besides, she doesn't have time to cook.The last time she stood by the stove, things got burnt and wasted.Wait, he called her Aly, she almost missed that."Hmm, I don't know why I don't believe you." She raised her eyebrows at that statement and snorted. She was grateful he suspects her, that way he would drop the topic."Tell me, Aly, what is your favorite food?""I love all food... And quit calling me Aly," She sighed sipping her glass of water."What do you take regularly?" He furthered and she felt agitated, she wasn't here for a question and answer session.Just answer hi

Removing her little luggage from the car, Alison strolled her way into Gran Karen's gate after pressing the security code on the electronic gate. Wanting to surprise both her grandmother and Sam she came two hours earlier than expected boarding a plane, on her other hand was a plastic bag containing Samantha's favorite caramel chocolate, she also brought some airport souvenirs.Finally, reaching the door she dropped her bags and rang the doorbell.Waiting, she thought back at her exclusive night with Leonardo, it brought goosebumps afresh on her naked arms. For a moment she wanted to be engulfed back into his jacket, inhaling his sweet smell embedded in the jacket. She wanted his hands back on hers and that reassuring smile he throws at regular intervals.Did he forget she was another plain woman? She was nothing compared to the women he might have dated. He scared her by thinking he might have feelings other than friendship for her. She was not sure of how to accommodate that.Who ta
