"Lilly! There you are!" A deep husky voice stated with a hint of worry. Turning around I saw an individual that somehow resembles the individual that has gained my hatred in just a couple of hours of meeting him. He ran over and took Lilly from my arms which made me miss holding the bundle of joy.
Even though I've only met her for a very short amount of time, we have formed a bond over her being just so damn adorable. Still slightly upset on the fact that this stranger, presumably her father, even though he seems no older than me, I couldn't help but smile over their bond.
"Hello, my name is Elijah, and thank you for looking after my daughter," he said with a cute smile with the most noticeable dimples. I couldn't help but smile back and state that it was nothing since Lilly was such an adorable child that it allowed me to feel better than before.
"Ha thanks, she gets all her cuteness from her mother," he stated which made me once again smile since the look of adoration and love was glowing on his face, you could tell that he loved Lilly's mother.
"Sorry, it's currently late and Lilly has school tomorrow, so if you don't mind that we have to leave Miss Nevaeh" Through him announcing this I realised just how late it was and I bid them goodbye but before they left, Lilly spoke up.
"Nev, would you come over and play princess with me?" her big doll-like eyes stared deep into my soul and it felt like with just one 'no' I could make her tear up. Her eyes were like a source of hypnotist equipment to allow any adult to agree.
Which made me agree to her question, this was a correct answer for her as she squealed and ran to me for a hug before she ran back to Elijah. Bidding goodbye but before leaving Elijah gave me his business card so we can set a date for my playdate with Lilly. Smiling at the thought of meeting the bundle of joy was on my mind the rest of the night.
----Alec's POV----
Her anger towards me was inevitable the moment I dragged her onto the dance floor. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, but I couldn't help it. It was like a piece of me wouldn't allow me to let her go. I couldn't fully understand where the urge came from but the moment I laid eyes on her, it was like something change within me and I didn't like that every male in the venue was staring straight at her whilst undressing her with their eyes in the process.
I couldn't understand where this possessive nature came from. The last time that this feeling was present was when I was with her. But after, no female was able to make me feel possessive towards them. No amount of sex or flirtation had allowed a female to make me feel what Nevaeh was able to make me feel with just one look. The moment I saw her talking with my mother, I couldn't help but smile over the fact that my mom had taken a liking to her.
The moment I walked up to her it was like my whole body was moving on its own and I couldn't control it. How could you possibly describe a feeling that has never been present in your life for the last 5 years?
To be honest, I don't think I was even this possessive with her to the point I wanted to announce it to the world that she belonged to me. Yet what was I thinking when I took her onto the stage for her first dance. I knew exactly what that dance meant to their family and I decided to still go ahead with it. I knew that I wasn't thinking straight when I had walked up to her and my mom. I was just the fact these group of men behind me were talking very inappropriate about her body and I couldn't help it.
I couldn't help but get angry at them for speaking about her and had a gut feeling to just protect her. This was so confusing me to me that when I went back Lucas, he stared at me like I've gone completely mad. Yet I felt refreshed and longing to have her in my arms again.
"Dude. What the hell was that! You just claimed Miller's youngest daughter as your own! Do you know what you've just done?” He started with the rant over my shocking actions, which I couldn't help but feel proud. I couldn't help but maybe believe that nobody else would talk about her body disrespectfully.
However, that is the one thing that I couldn't understand. I was the same with females. Would use them male gaze on them and talk so disrespectfully with their body and would use their body and disregard them later to make myself feel better.
"Man. I don't understand what came over me. It was like I was not in control of my body and walked over there to drag her onto the dance floor without knowing the consequences." I tried to reason my actions with the idea of not knowing but deep down I fully knew the consequences and I still went ahead.
"Dude maybe you need to get laid again!" Lucas stated, which did make me wonder if it were just because I needed to get laid and all these feelings would disappear.
"Yeah Maybe," I replied with no enthusiasm as my eyes wandered over the venue and found Nevaeh talking to a male and a young infant in between them. She was smiling down at the young infant which somehow made me smile. Finding out that she likes children made me somehow happy without any known reason.
"Yeah, maybe I should get laid tonight," I said with more enthusiasm and decided to head over to the group of girls who have been staring at me since I've walked in but haven't approached us at all.
"I'm going to make my move; I'll see you tomorrow then". The moment I said that I made my move towards one of the females that seem like they would give me a good night and allow me to forget about a specific woman in the hugging emerald dresses that allowed her eyes to pop.
"Hello, beautiful ladies," I announced whilst taking a sip from my drink. The blonde of the group gave me her name, but I didn't think it was necessary to remember it seeing I'd probably not even stay until tomorrow.
"Well beautiful, how about we get out of here to have some fun?" I couldn't be sure that she was giving me to right signals so being straight up was the only way I can be sure. I stared into her eyes whilst slowly caressing her back.
"Allow me to show you what you've been missing all this time baby." Slowly, she was becoming aroused and knowing that it was time to pull my last move on her before taking her to the nearest hotel and have my way with her.
Her giggles tell me that she was ready to leave without the last move but to make sure she was, I kissed her on the neck and her goosebumps began to form.
"Now baby, let's go" I took a hold of her hand and started to make my way out of this venue and have another night with another female.
-------
"What the hell are you doing! It's 2 am! why the hell are you at my door this early. Shouldn't you be with the girl you took home." Lucas was half asleep when I knocked on his door, but I was frustrated.
Sexually frustrated. This was all because of the one emerald eye female with long curly hair and lushes’ pink lips. Taking that blonde girl back to the hotel was a huge mistake. The moment we entered the room; we couldn't keep our hands off each other.
However, for some reason, I just couldn't function properly. In all my sexually active years, I've never had the problem of getting hard. I just physically couldn't with her smiling down at me whilst taking her skin-tight dress off. Normally this would have made me gone crazy and already be in the middle of giving her the best time.
However, tonight. All that I was thinking in my mind was how wrong it was, how I shouldn't be here and how I should be still at the venue looking out for her. Making sure that nobody would flirty with her and making sure she was having fun.
I knew that it was a mistake, but I decided on taking the female to the hotel room.
"I couldn't fuck her."
"What the hell do you mean! For everything that I did, sending drinks to them saying it was from you and finally pointing them out to you so you could make your move and you saying at 2 am that you couldn't fuck her! What a waste of time and money"
"I know. I don't understand what is wrong with me."
"Man does this have to do with someone in a green dress yesterday that you couldn't keep your eyes off." He snickered whilst leading me towards the kitchen and took two tumblers out and poured some whiskey in them.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. You saw how I acted at the gathering. You saw that I dragged her onto the dance floor and took her first dance. Yet we both knew what the meaning of that dance was, and I couldn't care less. All I wanted was to make sure that the ground of men behind us would stop with their words. This is nothing like my normal personality" I took a large gulp of the whiskey and sighed.
"I could tell. You knew how shocked I was when you came back from the dancefloor and didn't even seem phased with your action of claiming one of the Miller's daughters in front of all those reporters."
Ugh, what the hell is wrong with me" as I poured some more whiskey into the tumblers.
"Have you seriously taken a liking to her that you could be wanting to risk your role as the notorious bachelor in the business world. Do you like her that much that you wouldn't mind leaving your player tendencies behind and sticking to only one female?" He stated with uttermost seriousness of what it would possibly be like if what I am feeling is true affection and attraction rather than just lust towards a female’s body.
"Yes."
---Nevaeh's POV---Today was the first official day where I would be starting my job role and getting to know everyone in at the company. My father has specifically given me a project that I would have to manage myself and whatever the outcome would be could implicate his decision on if I am ready for taking over the company. However, I know for a fact that it wasn't just a simple project since, at the back of his mind, I will need to fully prove myself with my ability for him to fully accept that I am taking over. Getting ready was easy but knowing that I would have to spend the morning with my family was a difficult task. Since my sister was back for a couple of weeks, breakfast with the family was not a scene that I want to endure before my first day at the company.
Throughout the meeting, it seemed like Crystal was fully submerged into this, but I couldn't be sure until I receive the report on my table first thing in the morning. This may be the first time that these different departments would be making a report after each meeting but I think this is a great way to see exactly they think is significant through a meeting and exactly what their ideas are on and also making sure they're paying attention. It also gives me an idea what their work ethic is and what they're ability is instead of asking just Camilla to do the reports after each meeting. These individuals may be very confused as to why I'm asking them to do a report, but I am always clear with what I am doing. Finally finished with the meeting and g
Everything was so confusing to me. Why he could invite me out on a dinner date that was supposed to just be about a business opportunity but in the end is in a romantic setting and I couldn't explain this feeling I had when he talked about this restaurant as being his and how he went through the process of building this restaurant up. Before I had always thought that he was someone who gathered all his fame and fortune from just taking over his father’s company but in the end, it was a mixture. Behind the scenes, he did do his work and was very passionate about it. "So, what did you want to talk about and what was this business opportunity that you thought I would be very interested in," I asked since the waiter had come back with our food and we had to get down to business before I finish all of the food.
---Alec's POV---The moment I scared her, and her coffee spilt on her hand, I felt the need to protect her. This was the first time in years since I've felt this feeling. The moment she came into my life, I've felt all sort of things that I thought I couldn't be able to feel anymore. I looked at her hand after rinsing it under the cold tap to see if it was still hurting. It was slightly red which did make me worry but knowing that she didn't spill a lot made me feel at ease. I should give myself a note to ask one of the workers to send her some ointment for this. I couldn't help but crease her cheeks when I detected some sadness in her voice when I told her that I had to fly out of the country for a couple of days. It wasn't intended to leave just after giving her the contract see I would
---Nevaeh's POV---The moment I pushed him out of the door I couldn't believe what I had just done. Without think, I had teased him and had given him a hard-on without realising. However, I just didn't have enough time to give myself even a second to think about my actions when Camilla came in to tell me that my first meeting of the day was about to start. However, before leaving she told me that Alec had left an ointment for my hand. This did make me feel slightly happy that he was able to think about me, but I remembered that he was the sole reason to why I got burnt in the first place. Within a couple of hours, we had finally gotten through all the meetings without one of the workers being late or out of place.
After getting ready I was already drooling from the smell of pancakes that Iris had started to make. This homely feeling was unfamiliar to me. When I was younger, my parents never stepped into the kitchen and if I wanted to have breakfast, I would have to ask one of the cooks. It was also very rare that I would have breakfast with my family since they would take my sister on her pageant runways and I would wake up in a house that was only filled with workers. They were more like my real families than my actual families. So when I suddenly got bombarded at how I was doing and how I was feeling these couple of days whilst being served a huge plate of delicious pancakes, I couldn't help but wish that I could feel this way forever. "Alec, come down here and eat some pancakes before you leave!
All I wanted to do was to eat this burger in peace. But obviously, this group of males decided to trash my peaceful time and I am so close to hitting them.Nobody! And I mean Nobody should interrupt a women's food time. Especially when this woman has been dragged around by her crazy friends for possibly 4 hours. "Move." "Oh, this woman is feisty. We all like a feisty woman, especially when we can tame them."Now, this pissed me off. Nobody should talk about a woman that way. We are not objecting or something that men can just "tame". "Excuse me. But who the hell are you on about "Taming them" because I know for a fact that you don't mean us!"
---Alec's POV---It was very hard to leave her when she had just moved in. I had one of my PI to give me some background information on her father's company and her life at the house and it shocked me. I couldn't believe my own eyes that someone would treat their child like dirt. I wouldn't have believed that she was their biological child if I didn't see the medical information. This was very shocking, but I guess she is in at a better place at my house than at hers. I also found out that she wasn't financially helped when she was in London. This was very shocking since her father was the owner of a multi-billion company. The information stated that she got most of her financial help from her grandmother if she seriously needed it but o
---2 week later---"Are you ready?" I asked my sister since our case against our father has been accepted by the court and we will be going to him right now with our lawyer and the charged that we are going to charge him."I am slightly worried but I know that everything will be fine. He is going to get what he deserves and I know that we can win our case with all the evidence that we have.""I know Willow, however, do not forget that this is our father that we are talking about and he has many ways to make sure we do not win."I know I was supposed to give her some reassurance but we are walking in unknown territory. Nobody has ever gotten the courage to go against my father for a reason."I know, however, with the help of your husband, we can be sure that everything is going to go well.""True, let us just hope that everything does go well and things will be fine because my son is waiting for me to hold him in my arms aga
"How can you not tell me that." I was shocked at the detailed description that Willow has told me about."I couldn't. The moment I tell you what I had to go through to please father. I would have dragged you into all this mess.""We could have done something about it.""I couldn't though. I knew that the moment I started helping dad, everything would have changed. I was not just his daughter anymore but also a source of income for him.""Playing with people's heart is not a job Willow. You are destroying someone's life with the games that you guys are playing. We seriously need to but a stop to this.Just look at you. This is a reason to stop. Your bruises are the outcome of what would happen when it backfires on you and I can't allow you to continue this any longer!""I know but how do I get out of this mess?""Wait, I'll call Alec and we'll sort something out as soon as possible.""Okay."I quickly ma
The moment we got back, it was clear that our relationship had changed for the better. We were inseparable due to the confession that we had given each other over the weekend.Thanks for giving was this weekend, so I had to prepare myself to meet his whole family once again. I had met most of them on our wedding night, however, I believe Alec did say that some of them couldn't make it due to some business issues that they had to take care of."Babe! Who are the people who I didn't get to meet on our wedding day?" I asked whilst cutting some cabbages for our side salad."Well, one of my cousins didn't make it due to having a case in London and he wouldn't have made it on time. Other than that it was just my aunt and uncle, but I don't think they will be coming.""How come?" I asked whilst slicing up some cherry tomatoes."They don't associate with our family after my dad was the one who took over the company rather than my uncle. P
---Nevaeh's POV---It’s been roughly a week since the reveal evening, and everything has been going smoothly.I had just come back from Asia for a week just making sure that everything was running smoothly from the start of the construction."Welcome back!" Alec greeted me the moment I stepped out of the plane. "I am so glad to be back," I replied hugging him whilst he takes my luggage."So, how was it?" He asked as we started the journey to the nearest IHOP since we were both cravings for some pancakes covered in syrup."It was everything that we planned for. They are starting construction as soon as possible and then in a couple of months’ times everything should be up and running since people do things very quickly there."That is very true.""So how were you this whole week?" I asked seeing I couldn’t contact him that much throughout this week due to the time zone difference.
Throughout the day, we had gotten everything ready for tonight's ceremony. We did go and see Archie and was grateful that he was doing perfectly fine. It didn't seem like he was rejecting the liver transplant, but the doctor did say that they need to keep him there for another couple of days just in case.Through that period where we went to see Archie, I had a moment where I found myself wondering what it would be like to have a mini Nevaeh or me running around our home. It made me realise that I did think she was the one for me.We have been officially married for around 4 months now. Things have gotten to the point that we are more comfortable with each other and I have never felt this way with another woman.It also worries me that there are only 8 more months to somehow make her fall for me or I could potentially lose her. I just hope that everything will work out on its own when the time comes because I don't think I can see her with anyb
---Alec's POV---She should be home by now. It had currently been an hour since we called each other and I was confused as to why she wasn't back yet.It only takes around 20 minutes to get home from her company and she was already on her way back when I called her.This was extremely confusing and worrying. I tried calling her a couple of times but she hasn't picked up and I didn't know what to do.Pacing around the house was not helping with my nerves but I could not help it. It was not long before I heard the door open and she walked in."What the hell happened?" I stated in a frantic moment before running up to her to see if she was okay."What do you mean?""It doesn't take you an hour to get back and I thought something serious had happened to you! You had me so worried Tesoro.""I'm sorry, there was a lot of traffic due to an accident on the way back which was why I w
"Father!" I stormed into his study after knowing the test results. He had seriously gotten a female employee pregnant and then sent her packing."I see you know the test results.""Yes. He is your child! You got a female employee pregnant.""Impossible! The rest results must have been forged""Father! Own up to your mistakes. I had my private doctor do the test, so now tell me. How can it be forged, father?"I couldn't believe the fact that he is still in denial after getting the proof that indicates he is my father's child."Fine. Make sure that this doesn't get leaked to the press and most of all your mother. If this gets out, there will be huge consequences for you.""I understand father, but now I have to go and take care of the mess you have made. Like always." I stated and stormed out of his study, back down to my car.I had decided this morning to drive for myself since I couldn't rely on the driv
"Alec! What are you doing here." I was shocked at the fact that he was here when I never told him about my plan to visit my father."You should be grateful that I came here on time. Camellia told me when I called to ask if you would be free to have lunch with me," he stated whilst walking to me stood between my father and I, as a way of protecting me."Mr McKinley, there is no need for you being here when I'm having a peaceful conversation with my daughter is there.""I'm sorry Mr Miller, but this did not seem like a peaceful conversation that you have described. All I saw when I came into your study was you about to lay a hand on my wife. I don't know if you and I have different ideas on what a peaceful conversation is but that is nowhere near what I had in mind.""Well, Mr McKinley, if you don't mind waiting outside whilst I finish my conversation with my daughter before you entered and she will be with you as soon as possible.""Yeah Alec,
Its officially been around 2 months since we've come back from our honeymoon and everything has moved on smoothly.I am in my final stage of finalising everything for the project and by tomorrow morning I would have finished with everything.These two months have flown by after the incident of Naomi and my relationship with my father has gotten far worse.There have been rumours going around the whole company stating that something had gone on with my father and his old secretary when she suddenly came back demanding to see him.That was over a week ago and I am trying to understand the situation to make sure it isn't leaked to the press but why would a secretary who was fired over a decade ago come back demanding to see my father.It was all very confusing, especially when I went to ask my father what had happ
