(Finn’s POV)

“Lexi… Kitty,” I said worriedly, laying her on the couch and ignoring Colonel as he continued to whimper on the side.

My hands trembled as I took my cell phone from my pocket and then pressed the emergency number, but when I heard Frank’s voice say hello, my forehead furrowed, staring at the screen to check if it was really Frank or sounded like him.

“Frank?” I raised my eyebrows, one corner of my mouth lifting.

“Yep!” He answered in his usual cheery tone whenever he got his chance to talk to Lexi, causing me to feel more guilty.

“Why are you answering the emergency line?” I asked curiously, checking the screen for a second before sandwiching the phone between my ears and shoulders to lift Lexi’s head, placing a throw pillow under her head.

“I’m your emergency line,” he chuckled. “You always call me when there’s an emergency. What’s your emergency this time?”

I swallowed hard, staring wide-eyed at Lexi, placing the back of my hand on her forehead to gauge her temperature.

    (Lexi’s POV)My head must have cracked into three, and now, I had become a certified insane person, having my hallucinations.When I opened my eyes, I was in dreamland, in bed and in the arms of the man I had claimed as my boyfriend for the past few days, but in reality, he was never mine… could never be mine. Finn pulled me to him when I moved. Slowly, I craned my neck to see his face and checked if he was awake, but it was only an excuse to see Finn because his even breathing was already proof he was asleep.My eyes feasted for a moment, taking my chances to look at his arresting perfection. I clenched my fists, stopping myself from lifting my hand to graze the skin of his angelic face. When I went to the company clinic this afternoon, the nurse and her intern could not help telling me I was lucky to be Finn’s secretary and always have my chance of seeing the Mars.“He looked delicious,” the young intern said, making the nurse giggle. “Does the younger Mr. Mars have a girlfriend now

    (Lexi’s POV)Still half-asleep, I rolled to my bed and reached for my phone. My eyes widened in shock, gasping as I got up when I saw it was already ten in the morning.“Lexa, why didn’t you wake me up?” I cried, dashing to the bathroom, but my sister pulled the hem of my shirt, shaking her head.“Your jaw-dropping handsome boss, my boyfriend, called me this morning and told me you’re not going anywhere today.” She frowned at me, giving me a sullen look as she placed her hands on her hips. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re sick?” When I didn’t answer, she raised her eyebrows at me and pointed her index finger to the bed. “Go back in there, weakling.”I sneered at her, hating my twin sister whenever she called me a weakling, but I went back to bed, following her order.“Lexi,” she called me, but I rolled to my other side, turning my back on her. “I knew this would happen to you,” she sighed, rubbing my back. “Do you want Mom and Dad to get mad at me?”“No,” I whimpered, puckering my lips.

    (Lexi’s POV)“You did what?” My eyes widened in disbelief. “Why on earth did you cancel your appointments today?”He took my spoon, got soup from the food container, and put it in his mouth.I gasped, taking back the spoon. “Are you not scared of getting sick?”He shook his head. “My mom’s a doctor, Angela’s dad is a genius doctor, so…Na-ah! Besides, what you got was just a fever because you’re a workaholic employee.” He grinned at me. “Maybe I’ll get infected.”I rolled my eyes and continued to eat. “You’re impossible, Finn!” I hissed, annoyed at him but wanted to hush my heart from beating so fast.“How are you feeling?” he asked, taking the spoon from me again.I sighed, standing up to get another spoon. I took mine and gave him the clean one.“I’m now okay,” I lied, not telling him of my slight headache, but it could be because I was hungry.He nodded. “Want to watch Iron Man?”“I thought we’re not going to talk about it?” My nostrils flared up in annoyance as I scowled at him.He

    (Lexi’s POV)I moaned as my tongue tangled with his, and I had completely forgotten where we were. Our tongues had been dancing and playing for minutes, and they were spreading fire in our bodies, down to my core, that I wanted to pull off my clothes. I must be sick, or maybe the medicine I took was not effective because my body temperature was on fire, like I had a high fever.Not breaking our kiss, Finn slowly lay me on the couch while his hand held my wrists above my head. I thought he would stop when he left my mouth, but I was wrong. He glided his lips to my ear, biting my earlobe, then whispered my name.“Lexa…” He said in a low and sexy voice.My eyes flew open, waking me up completely as if Finn had thrown an ice bucket at me. I pressed my hands to his chest and pushed him away.“Leave, Finn. Please, leave,” I cried, escaping from him, running to my bedroom, and locking the door.What have I done?I dashed to the bathroom, hoping to drown from the water sprinkled by the shower

Sky decided to go to the mansion and check on him, and when we arrived, we found him watching an old video on his phone.“Don’t stay up too late,” Finn finally spoke, not looking at us. “Lexi’s not feeling okay.”My eyebrows raised, but Sky beat me in asking him why.“Is that why you canceled your appointments? Finn, you know that Catherine’s there to assist you. You didn’t -”His heavy sigh stopped Sky from talking.“Did something happen between you and Lexi? Did you fight again?” Sky asked curiously.We were already betting how long Lexi would stay in his office as his secretary. If she happened to quit, Angela was ready to take Lexi as her secretary because Loren, her assistant, would take a leave two mont

    (Frank’s POV)“Where’s the boat?” Lexi took off her shoes and sat at the edge of the dock, her legs hanging but playfully moving in the air. She held the long stem rose in her hands like it was so valuable to her.“Do you want a yacht?” I asked her curiously because dad gave me a new one, a gift that he didn’t want me to turn down.“Hmm… The yacht is nice, but …” She turned to me and grinned. “It would be romantic to be in a boat.”“A boat it is!” I nodded, smiling at her.After our kiss, I expected her to cling to me like any woman who just had a passionate kiss with a guy, but Lexi… Well, she was not like any woman. As soon as my hands held her waist to pull her closer to me, she panicked and pushed me back, then apologized like what we did was wrong.I knew she liked me, not because she told me, but because there was no lie in that kiss. All I had to do was to be patient and give her time.“Tell me about your dreams, Lexi,” I said, wishing to move closer to her, but I feared that i

    (Lexi’s POV)The sound of my cell phone alarm at four in the morning startled me and woke me up. Groaning, I rolled to the bed, only to fall off the couch. The soft thud of my body on the floor woke me up completely.“Aw!” I whimpered, massaging my arm that first hit the floor.The shrill cry of my phone startled me. I turned to where I had placed my cell phone and was confused at first as to why I was in the living room instead of our bedroom. My eyes narrowed when I saw the time.Now I remembered why I was on the couch. I was waiting for Lexa.It was past midnight when I woke up and started to worry about her. If Frank found out she was pretending to be me, he would get mad at her and me. He seemed not to like my twin sister, and I could not blame him for that as we all did not meet the ordinary way.Sighing, I crawled, stopped in front of the door, and stared blankly at nothing as I sat crossed-legged on the floor. I only raised my head when I heard a clicking sound like someone wa

    (Lexi’s POV)“Distressing…”I tapped my temple with the eraser and squinted my eyes, thinking of the word. I looked at the ceiling, biting the ferrule of the pencil as I thought. Sighing, I put the newspaper I was holding as I tried to write my answer in the white squares of the crossword puzzle. “P-I-T-I-F-U-L...”One corner of my mouth lifted, realizing my answer was wrong. “This is upsetting. L-E-X-I…Pitiful!” I sneered, clucking my tongue and shaking my head. “Starts with a P… eight letters.” My eyes squinted as I racked my brain for a possible answer. “Ends with C.”“Pathetic,” Finn answered, startling me.My eyes widened, sure that he was not in the office when I arrived, but I pressed my lips, deciding not to ask how he came in when I remembered his flat because instead of his usual business suit, he was wearing pajamas.My heart pounded in my chest, seeing him leaning on the doorframe, looking like a print model in a magazine.“Breakfast?” I asked, standing up but not waiting

    (Finn’s POV) Five years later… As I talked to my brother, I leaned on my chair, propping my elbows on the table as I massaged my temple. Lexi had been giving me a hard time lately, and no matter how I explained to her that I didn’t care about not having children, I would still find her crying in the middle of the night. “Sky, I don’t know what to do. We could adopt one if she really wanted a baby-” I wanted to cry at my brother. “Just be patient with her, Finn. We all know how much she has wanted to have her own child since the day she saw her nephew. And for sure, she’s having this kind of low feeling again because her twin sister just gave birth.” I heaved a sigh. “I know, but she was making me crazy lately.” “You know what? You two need a break. Why don’t you bring her on a date? Give all your time to her tonight,” he suggested. “You’re right. Maybe I’ve been working too hard,” I muttered. “Thanks, brother. Please, come home already. Be there on the weekend, okay?” Sky chuck

    (Finn’s POV)My sister-in-law walked with my brother onto the stage and curved a sweet smile on her lips as she looked at everyone. Six months ago, I was here, watching my brother and my gorgeous sister-in-law make a very special announcement about the success of the company’s new project.At that time, I wondered where I would find another woman like Angela, but now, Frank and I were seated in the same spot with our own date. This wasn’t a big party, but a gathering with our family, friends, and relatives, wanting to be part of Angela and Sky’s number of babies reveal. Their children, three girls and two boys, were excitedly seated in front, and like us, they also had their guesses on the gender and number of babies.“This is insane and fun!” Anya exclaimed as she and Dylan joined us at the table.“Well, that’s our Angela,” He laughed. “So, let’s have our guess. One! Just one.”“One?” Frank shook his head. “Could be two, another twin.” He looked at Lexa. “What’s your guess, baby?”Le

    (Lexi’s POV)It had been a month since the incident happened, and before Sky and Finn went on a business trip, he decided that the three of us stay in the mansion after the trauma from the Travis siblings. He even talked to Jocelyn, who seldom visited their home, to stay with us for a while. She happily obliged, but deep inside, I knew how much she loved the idea.But I think the one who enjoyed this setup the most was Elenita. She entered the family room and brought us snacks. Another maid came in with a tray filled with glasses, a pitcher of orange juice, and a cup of coffee for Jocelyn. She was sitting on the egg chair and reading Aliyah a book.“Lexi, Lexa,” called Elenita. “Sky’s looking for you in the garden.”“Sky’s back?” Lexa stood up.I pressed my lips, suppressing a smile because we were sure my twin sister was not excited about Sky coming back but about the man he was with.“Is he alone? Do you want me to call Angela?” Her eyes were hopeful as she looked at Elenita.“If Sk

    (Finn’s POV)For how long I had been staring at the cross, I didn’t know. I was about to head back to the hotel, but my feet dragged me to the prayer room where Angela would usually go whenever we were here. As I sat in the front row and looked at the relic of the cross, I sniffled, wishing I was like my sister-in-law, having a big heart and full of faith in something she had never seen in her life.I wasn’t religious, but at this point, I wanted to believe that everything happened for a reason, wishing for miracles and hoping this would soon be over. If only I knew Lexi would get hurt, I should have just stayed in France and didn’t bother coming back.“Hey!” Angela muttered softly, sitting beside me and resting her head on my shoulder.Frank sat on my other side and noticed he had showered and changed his clothes. “Sky is waiting for your decision, Finn.”I took a deep breath. “Send her flowers. Make sure to order her favorites and tell the florist to make a beautiful one.”He nodded

  • My Bossy Secretary   Chapter 134 –  Déjà Vu

    (Finn’s POV)The sky was gravel-gray, looking somber as it waited for the large pillows of clouds to cover the sky. I never liked it when the sky looked sad because its color reflected the seawater, making the sea body melancholic… lifeless. I sighed, thinking it would rain any moment, but instead of looking for shelter, I stepped forward, going to the shore and stopping when the white foam of waves kissed my feet.My eyebrows knitted as my eyes fixed on the horizon, remembering I had been in this place, but I could not pinpoint when or why I was here. When I lowered my gaze, I saw a starfish washed to the shore, softly hitting my toes. I took a deep breath, thinking this had happened before.I closed my eyes and asked myself when or how.Ah, Freya!Now I realized this place didn’t exist, but I was in a state of unreality, a dream I had a few years ago. Only now, I was alone, but when I had this dream, Freya and I went into the water and swam as we loved swimming. And then we sat on t

    (Lexi’s POV)The burly man in the black suit was in the corner of the room; his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was gagged with a cloth, preventing him from screaming. It was his restrained scream that woke me up.I hardly knew him, but when I woke up earlier, I saw him watching the nurse’s every move, only leaving his post when Jocelyn entered my room. He must be one of the Mars’ security details, but his face was unfamiliar to me since Finn never had one. After what Chelsea did, I understood the danger of being alone in the hospital, but I thought it was too much since I was not an important person to guard.Who would want to kill me?He eyed the young man lying on the floor, and his eyes moved like he was pointing at the man standing and facing the light switch. I pressed the call button, hoping the nurse or anyone would see my emergency call immediately.If my wound were totally healed, I would have filled the room with my scream to get help, but as the man with the syring

    (Lexi’s POV)Somebody must have taped my eyelids because I found them difficult to open. At first, I didn’t mind because Morpheus seemed to drag me into a deep sleep at most times, and believe me, I was happy and contented. I felt at peace with my parents, eating and seeing them delighted as they listened to me. But after we ate, my mom opened her arms and asked me to sit on her lap.I excitedly dashed to her, sitting on her lap. “Mom, I’m heavy already, you know,” I giggled.She pressed her lips on my cheeks. “I know, but I will always see you and Lexa as my babies. My beautiful babies.”My father wrapped his arms around us, humming the song Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. I closed my eyes and sniffled as I listened to him.“We’re so proud of you and your sister,” Dad uttered as he stared at me with great love. I giggled again when they sandwiched me as mom kissed me on my right cheek and dad on my left.“Now, baby, go back to your sisters,” Mom said, her fingers trailing my face and s

    (Frank’s POV)Lexa stared at the charming woman in white uniform for a second before scoffing and walking inside the room where the doctor and another medical specialist were. “Grrr! Of all days, you chose to be here,” I sneered at my cousin and watched Lexa talk to her doctor.“Oh, let me pour my name on your day, Frank,” Felicity grinned, holding my hand and tugging me excitedly beside Lexa on the bed.“You look more excited than the parents, Felicity,” the doctor smiled.Lexa looked at the young nurse; her lips pressed like she wanted to ask me but did not bother to raise the question.“She’s Felicity, my cousin,” I answered Lexa in her unuttered question and watched the doctor apply the gel to her belly. “My mom and her mom are sisters… A Mars.” “Oh,” She exclaimed and glanced at Felicity again. “Oh!” she gasped when the doctor pressed the small device against her skin and began to capture images on the screen.Dr. Lee smiled. “There’s your growing bundle of joy,” she exclaimed

    (Frank’s POV)I never thought the long meeting would ever end. The Travis case seemed never-ending, and looking at Finn, like me, he wished to escape and be with the women we loved. Sky had been aware of the case of attempted hacking and had this under investigation. The private investigator reported that the hacking was not just Chelsea’s doing alone, but she was an accomplice to the crime. One thing she somehow did not expect was falling in love deeply with Finn when she had to lure him so her brother could tap into his office without being noticed. Chuck was an old employee of Quick Soft IT whom Sky had terminated three years ago because of grave misconduct, and now he was on the loose after the news of Chelsea’s death leaked on social media.“I’m going back to the hospital,” Finn muttered, looking exhausted.“No,” Sky shook his head, surprising Finn and me.“Sky,” He scowled, his brows knitting in disapproval of his brother’s decision.Sky heaved a sigh and grabbed his brother
