As she stared up at the blazing hot sky,she wondered what her life was going to look like .The clouds floated around happily in humor to her predicament.Being fired from the only place she had worked so hard to get into after graduation was quite a comic story indeed.

As she crossed the pathway leading up to her rundown apartment closeby,a few blocks away from the building that had held all her dashed hopes and dreams,her heel got stuck in the broken cemented sidewalk.

Thrusting out with all her might,the heel of her favourite suede stiletto broke.She stumbled backwards and landed on her butt, grazing her hands onto the ground.It hurt.She knew that right at this moment ,the universe was mocking her.

Working endlessly and tirelessly for years only to come out with the best degree and getting admitted into the workplace she had applied for seemed so far away now.shelooked down at her stubbed heel and wept for her bleak life.

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing on her ass on the sidewalk?"

Her head whipped around so fast she was afraid her neck would snap. 

She raised her head up to look at the stranger that had his hand outstretched with a huge smile on his face.

"Am sorry who are you?"she spoke before her body could register what she had said.

The said man was gorgeous,with chestnut brown hair and blue eyes,he looked so handsome,it took her breath away.

"Why don't I help you up?"he offered,gesturing to his outstretched hand.

She nodded because words had seemed to fail her.

"Yes,thank you"she stammered.

He pulled her up,stumbling due to her wobbly legs ,she collided with his chest.

"Sorry"Abruptly she straightened up.

"Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"he asked politely. 

Nodding,her lips widened In a shy smile as she felt her cheeks redden.

"There's a great coffee shop just two blocks away if we can just make it"he took the lead.

Being careful not to loose him,she walked as fast as her legs could carry her to match his long strides. She noticed that he slowed down a few times to give her time to catch up which was very thoughtful of him.

"Come on in"he said ushering her in through the double glass doors that held the coffee sign,open.The place had an aesthetically pleasing mahogany feel to it.There wasn't much of a crowd for the lunch hour but it wasn't completely empty.There were customers scattered around the shop chatting away and sipping away at their coffees worry free.

She let out a defeated sigh.

"What's wrong?Don't you like coffee?"he asked.

She shook her head vehemently "no,no,I do.i was just...thinking about something else"She reassured him.

He nodded and walked over to the counter to place their orders.Busing herself,she picked a table at the far end of the coffee place and slid into the curved seats overlooking the floor to ceiling windows.She watched as the people breezed by,some tired ,some happy but most of all she noticed the satisfied looks they all had as they passed by probably on their way back to work.

Clearing his throat, she jerked back away from her internal musings.

"Are you alright?"he asked.Concern etched on the creases at the base of his forehead.

She gave him a wan smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"Yes,I'm fine.just work "she summarised. She didn't need to bore a total stranger she had just met when she was a total mess, with her life problems.She just had to relax and savor this moment that is to come.

"Sorry,I haven't introduced myself. Am Micheal. Micheal wheeler"he said,giving her his outstretched hand once again,this time for a handshake and she obliged.

"My name is Alina.Alina Sanders"she replied.

He nodded.Taking the information in ,a wistful smile etched onto his lips.

"That's a really nice name"he added.

She felt her cheek go pink."thank you. But thank my parents. They're the ones who gave me the name. "She responded.

He chuckled at her awkward attempt to lighten the mood, feeling his laughter was contagious, she followed suit.

They were so wrapped up in the invisible bubble ,that they didn't fully notice when the waiter placed their drinks in front of them .She stared at the leaf design of the sweetened coffee.she wasn't a fan of sweetened coffee.

"Am sorry I went ahead to order your coffee.I figured you would prefer to drink yours sweetened"he explained as he watched her stare at her coffee,her expression unreadable.

Her eyebrow arched upwards. 

"And what gave you that idea?"she asked,a little annoyed now.

"That's the impression you gave off.i might be wrong though "he interjected raising his hands up in surrender.

"That's much better"satisfied with his answer, she returned to the cup of coffee staring back at her,she stirred before finally taking a big gulp.

"So about your parents,what should I know about them?"he asked.

She raised her head up from her cup of coffee to collide with his amused gaze smiling back at her.She looked at him over the rim of her coffee and wondered why he was interested in knowing about her parents.

What kind of stranger gets into such details?she wondered and suddenly felt unsafe.Secluded in the corner with him,in a room full of people was supposed to reassure her but she felt goosebumps crawl up her skin.

Who was this stranger? And what the heck was she doing with him?

The questions kept bugging her.she eyed him skeptically as he sipped his coffeee waiting for her response. 

"Am sorry but as nice as you are,I don't feel comfortable telling you about such details of my life"she responded almost apologetically. 

He chuckled.

Settling back in his seat,he leaned back and looked at her for a while.

"Look,like I said Am Micheal Wheeler.Doesn't that seem to ring a bell for you?"he spoke.

Shaking her head vehemently in confusion, she tried to grasp where this conversation was going until...

"Wheeler of the Wheeler enterprises?"she asked hesitantly.

He blinked in confirmation. She gasped as she suddenly realized who and where he was.

He was her boss.

    "I guess the surprise has already hit you"he observed.Unable to speak,she nodded her reply."I know that this may come as a shock to you but you were highly recommended "he continued.She frowned in confusion. "What is that supposed to mean?"she asked skeptical of his intentions. With a wide grin on his face,he leaned in closer across the table."I have a proposition for you"he said."What proposition?excuse me,but am trying to wrap my head around the fact that am sitting across from the owner of the enterprise I work in.Wait,was this even planned?"she blurted out.Her mind going in different directions trying to piece everything together.He straightened up now.And gave her a once over before opening his mouth to speak.

Trying to understand what exactly she had said more out of disbelief rather than doubt."Mr Wheeler?"She called staring back at his dumbfounded look.She waved a hand in front of his face which caused him to wake up.He cleared his throat."Sorry...am just trying to wrap my head around this piece of information"he said clearing his throat in-between. She hung her head solemnly. "I understand.Its understandable if you choose to get yourself a new wife"She said sadly.He frowned."I never said that."He stated gruffly.Her head whipped up to stare at him in disbelief.

Just keep pushing through" Jeff said checking off things on his checkboard.The drugs in your system are going to help detoxify your insides so when you go into surgery, it will give a good edge to getting the tumor ejected.He roared in pain. The tips of his toes and fingers were cold. He shivered in pain. His body trembled as his body fought against the drugs. Turning on his side, he reached for the bucket under his bed and retched out the contents from his churning stomach."That's good. You just have to continue for a few more days and you'll be good and prepped for surgery.""This feels like death" He complained, closing his eyes and trying to calm the pounding headache he was currently nursing.Jeff chuckled."Far from it buddy. There's hope. So long as you diligently show up for your sessions, you'll be free to go." Jeff reassured.He nodded weakly with his eyes still closed.He just lay there una

It was currently 5am and when she had gotten a call from her mother that she was outside her door on the porch, she had been so alarmed that she scrambled around to throw on whatever she could find, before running down the stairs.She hadn't seen Micheal at all the day before. But she assumed he must have been in his room sleeping. He must have come in when she had been sleeping last night."Am sorry for rushing over so soon but I had to come as soon as I heard." Her mother said pulling off her coat and hanging it on the rack.She frowned in confusion."What do you mean? What did you hear?" She asked."Didn't Micheal call you?" She asked incredulously.She shrugged his shoulder. They hadn't been on speaking terms since their last argument.Her mother arched a brow up at her, folding her arms on her hips."Don't make me regret asking you this. But what is goin

    MICHAEL'S POVHe knew he was wrong before he came downstairs for dinner that night. They ate in silence that night, with everything in him in inner turmoil for not apologizing to her about his outburst.He was being unreasonable, even he knew that. But when he had found out that she had been searching all around for a job, he had been livid. He quickly put some calls through to stall any idea of her working in her condition. Did he feel any remorse about what he did, no. Because he had a right to the baby as well and working in her condition was going to endanger the life of his unborn child."So that's it. That's how the night ended." He finished, sitting across from Jeff who had his horn-rimmed reading glasses up until it was on the bridge of his nose."Are you sure you're doing the right thing?" He questioned skeptically.Micheal frowned in confusion."Tell me you don't think I'm being unreasonable," he said.Jeff shrugged his shoulders."You have to admit, you've been irrational.

    ALINA'S POV"Mrs.Alina how do you...""It's Miss." She corrected.The older woman staring at her accusingly, dragged her glasses down to the crook of her nose eyeing her skeptically."What did you say?" She questioned."It's Miss Ma'am. Am divorced" she explained.The woman nodded reluctantly and stared back at the piece of paper that held all the necessary information."Am sorry to ask but how do you expect to work in your condition?" The woman questioned.Her eyes darted around for the answer, her palms were sweaty and she tried to recall all she had rehearsed right before the interview."Seeing as the offer for the job was for a clerk officer that would require me the limited amount of movement and stress that someone in my condition can pull off. My pregnancy will not be a problem ma'am" she replied enthusiastically."Yes, I can see that. But..." she paused.Alina watched the woman squirm in her chair, pulling her whole weight down on the wheels of the chair. She leaned in, her vo

After all, she was not going to forgive him anytime soon. So they stayed at complete loggerheads until Paulina showed up again."Let me in! He knows who I am. Don't touch me!" He heard her yell as the new security guard he had hired tried to block her path to the house."I'm sorry ma'am I was given strict orders not to let you into the premises anymore. I'm sorry, am just doing my job" he said apologetically. He pulled up at the gate in his Lamborghini, watching with satisfaction as she struggled to get past him while he drove past her and into the house."Hello sir" The security guard greeted, sending questioning glances toward him but he waved her off just as the gate closed."Micheal! You can't just leave me here! Am carrying your child!" She screeched.He got out of his car with a triumphant smile playing
