Lost her Job

Arianna glanced at her boss and the other managers. They all seemed quiet, not able to utter a word. Of course she looked in the direction where the 'powerful Personality' sat and it had become empty.

   His scary looking bodyguards have also left. She knew she had flopped "I'm sorry sir. I wasn't prepared for your request" Arianna apologised.

    Without a word, her boss offered her a letter and when she glanced through it, she froze. She has been fired.

   

   "Sir, please don't sack me. I really need this job" Arianna pleaded. She has herself and Eli to take care of and this job is her only source of livelihood, the one she looked to in order for Eli to resume school.

    "The one who ordered your sack has a powerful personality. If you want to have your job back, go and plead with him" her boss replied and walked away.

    The other managers did the same and Arianna hurriedly went out, she needed to see this 'powerful Personality' and apologise to him. 

   She found him just getting into his car, and ran past his bodyguards, who tried stopping her and got  to stand before him "Sir," Arianna said, panting and raising her head to glance at the powerful man.

    The 'powerful Personality' paused, who dared to stop him before the public glare like this? He casually raised his head to look at the fellow who got guts to stop him and his eyes met with hers.

  Arianna froze. Her heart beat was faster and she felt a gush of adrenaline rushed through her spine. She shivered and beads of sweat rose on her forehead.

  The identical look between this 'powerful Personality' and her son was too striking. It was as if they were made from the same sculpture and divided into two.

   Same eyes, lips, complexion and colour of the hair. He is the bigger version of her son and Eli is a spitting image of him.

  

    She felt her heart beat twice its Normal rate. If she hadn't slept with a gigolo that night, she would readily have assumed that he is Eli's father.

   But a 'powerful Personality' like him cannot go to such a club let alone, working as a gigolo.

   "Who the hell are you?" One of the men in Black suits asked, glaring at the woman's audacity. Does she want to die?

   "I'm sorry, I flopped a while ago. Please sir, I don't want to lose my job. I really need this job.." Arianna was pleading.

   She finished pleading with her head bowed, she couldn't dare to stare a second time at the face that looked exactly like her son's. She stood still, her hands folded in front of her and waited for the 'powerful Personality' to say something, to accept her apologies or decline it, but he didn't say a word.

    She felt his gaze was on her. He probably was scrutinising her and didn't know what her fate might be. Since he wasn't saying anything, she turned and wanted to leave when she heard him speak "don't you dare take another step" he thundered.

   Arianna paused and remained rooted on a point. She cannot move forward and dare not look back to avoid coming face to face with the 'powerful Personality' again.

   After a while, he commanded "throw this filth out of my sight"

   Arianna returned home feeling weak and exhausted. Exhausted not from the pressure or stress of work, but the loss of her job.

    How can she be so unprepared for a simple thing as being presented to a future investor? It seemed to her that she's not professional at all and lacks the basic knowledge of being a company's specialist.

   She went to get Eli from the creche and came home. She just wants to go into her room and soak her pillows with her tears. She needed to shed some tears and relieved herself of her unhappy mood.

   But because of Eli, she pretended to be strong. She has to be strong for him and not let him down. 

   "Mummy, did you see my daddy today?" Eli asked, holding his mother's hands playfully. 

    Arianna sighed softly, Eli's words reminded her of the looks on that 'powerful Personality'. If he wasn't so strong,she might have presumptuously guessed he was Eli's father.

   But then, she slept with a gigolo four years ago. He can never condescend so low to become one. 

   "No I haven't met your dad, but I hope soon" Arianna forced a smile and pulled him to herself. She kissed his temple and told him he is her lucky star.

   "But mummy, why did you come home so early today?" Eli asked and Arianna told him that she wants to be with him earlier than the previous days.

   That made Eli happy and he giggled.

   Before sleeping, Arianna was worried. Where on earth will she find another job so easily? How can she cope with a son without a job? She needs to give Eli a good life.

    Then she remembered. A doctor friend of hers had told her to contact him if she ever visits Z-city again. She went to her bag and found the complimentary card.

  She immediately dialled his contact and he answered in his deep masculine voice "hello Miss Jason" 

   He was happy when Arianna told him she's in Z-city. He promised to come around and check on her. Arianna said okay.

    She felt a little elevated. At least someone was coming to check on her. Few minutes later, doctor Richard called back and asked her if she would like working with the Hudson's holding?

   Hudson? That's the largest holding in Z-city. And from what she's heard about them, they are the highest paying conglomerate in Z-city.

   She replied immediately and said yes. In less than an hour, she received an email from Hudson's holdings. She was invited for an interview the next day.

    Arianna woke up the next day, feeling excited. She took a bath and dressed smartly. She arrived at the high story building which houses the Hudson holding.

   She sighed softly. It's great that she was invited to work here. She prayed she got lucky and got employed. It's her dream place to work and prayed that dream would come true.

    She was interviewed and immediately she was hired. She was assigned to her new office. "There are works done halfway by the former designer, you can check it out and complete it" the employment manager instructed.

    "That's alright" Arianna nodded, happy that she got the job in the first place. She would do whatever job she was assigned including a leftover one.

   "But first, I need to introduce you to the CEO," Ryan declared, gesturing for Arianna to come along.

    She nodded and walked behind Mr Ryan, towards the CEO's office.

    Mr Ryan knocked gently and a feminine voice answered from within "yes, come in". They got in and found a lady standing with a few files in her hand. "Hello Sara," Mr Ryan said. "Good morning,Mr Ryan" Sara responded and looked past Mr Ryan to Arianna who stood beside Ryan. "Where is the CEO?" Mr Ryan asked and Sara told him that he just went out after instructing her to get him some files. She's been waiting for him for over twenty minutes already. Ryan nodded and turned to glance at Arianna. "She's Sara, she's the secretary to the CEO. I think you should also wait and get to introduce yourself to him when he gets back" he suggested. Arianna said okay and glanced at Sara with a friendly smile. She's yet to meet all the employees. But meeting Sara was already one of the many employees she will be working side by side with. "I'm Arianna" she introduced herself as soon as Mr Ryan left. "Nice meeting you Arianna" Sara said. The two women waited for another ten minute

  • One Night With Mr Billionaire    Meeting the CEO

    Arianna arrived at her address and told Genesis to pull up. The latter was happy and parked. She got out of the car and followed Arianna towards her apartment. "You will get to meet my son, Genesis," Arianna chimed. She was happy that she found her friend again. She, Genesis and Daisy were best friends until she caught Daisy with her fiance a day before her wedding with Ethan. She decided not to contact Genesis again. She lost faith in friendship. But now, she felt that love and friendship bond was back when she sighted Genesis. "Son, you have a son, Arianna?" Genesis asked. Arianna really has a son with her lover? She doesn't want to believe Ethan's words, but having a son is making her doubtful. "Yes. He's three years plus" Arianna answered, not paying attention to Genesis' surprised question. She is just happy to find her friend again. She pushed the door open and asked Genesis to sit. She would fetch her son and introduce him to her. Genesis said okay and sat down.

  • One Night With Mr Billionaire    You're the woman!

    Arianna's heart beat almost skipped when she saw who the CEO was. Her complexion flushed purple and her hands suddenly became sweaty. Jace Hudson stared at the woman in front of him. She has the effrontery to step her feet into the Hudson's holdings and her audacity brought her this far into his office. This woman is trailing him. She's deliberately after him and his enemies might have assigned her to get information about him. But he would teach her a lesson. Arianna didn't wait to be told. She stood up quickly and walked a little away. She was shivering and the temperature in the office seemed to be hot. Is the CEO the same person as the 'powerful Personality' she had met twice? And just yesterday, he warned her not to come before him ever again and this morning, here she was, being stared at by him. "Didn't I warn you not to come before me,ever again?" Jace Hudson asked, his voice filled with so much resentment. He stood up and walked towards her. Arianna was

    Arianna turned and glanced at Jace. This man is so unbelievable. All she wanted at the moment was just to leave his office and disappear. She can't stand him anymore. "Tell me everything about yourself?" Jace demanded, gazing at her with contempt. "My name is Arianna Jason…" she began and Jace Hudson interrupted her. "Are you married?" Jace asked. "No" Arianna answered. "Have a fiance?" Jace probed further. "No" Arianna answered. Where the hell is he heading to with his questions. "Boyfriend" Another question from Jace. "No," Arianna answered and sighed softly. This man is impossible. His words and actions are absurd. Jace Hudson chuckled wickedly with irritation. He glared at Arianna and hissed between gritted teeth. "As expected of a night worker. You are a professional prostitute, right? That's the reason you couldn't be with any man. You probably can't stay true and faithful to any man" Jace Hudson grinned. "I am not such a wo

    She raised her head and saw the fellow standing, towering over her. He has a striking resemblance with Jace Hudson and she heard Eduardo referred to him a while ago as 'Second master' . "Good morning sir" Arianna greeted, standing up and bowing her head. Looks like people from the Hudson bloodline were destined to look like as if they were moulded from the same sculpture and that includes her son, Eli At this point, she really cannot say if Eli really took after his dad, Jace Hudson or this fellow standing before her. They look so alike with similar complexion and hair. "I am Chase Hudson and you are Arianna Jason, Dr Richard Delmark's friend, right?" Chase asked, his face looking expressionless. "Yes sir," Arianna replied. Was it through him she got the job? Richard had told him that he has a friend in the company. He probably was Richard's friend. "Nice meeting you. You resumed here, yesterday, I guess" Chase asked and Arianna nodded. "Welcome to the Hudson's holdi

    Jace Hudson ordered Eduardo to summon Chase to his office. The lunch time was over but he wasn't answering his phone. "I'm sorry boss, the second Master went for lunch and ls not back yet" Eduardo announced. Jace nodded and suddenly remembered "I want miss Jason in my office immediately" "She's not back as well. She was with the Second master, they went for lunch together" Eduardo declared and Jace snapped his head up, glaring at Eduardo with a killing intent. The latter was taken aback. Why is the boss suddenly furious? Miss Jason is with his brother, there's no big deal about it. He has always been with different female employees in the past. So Miss Jason going to lunch with him today is not new. She's the newest female employee and she's beautiful as well. He knows his brother, better than anyone else. He saw Jace Hudson's face turn reddened with fury. His veins popped out on his neck and his palm fisted hard like he was going to strangulate someone. "Is ever

    Chase soon came out of the washroom and looked at his wristwatch. Oh gosh! He really has left her for three hours? How come he spent three hours making love to just one woman? He got into his pants, getting dressed quickly. He needs to go back and apologise to her. He was wrong to leave her waiting for so long. "Is there a problem, you are so much in a hurry" Rosalinda asked, raising herself to sit up and holding the quilt over her body. "Yes, I just remembered I was supposed to meet with someone a few hours ago. But I got carried away with pleasure" he answered, standing before the mirror and buttoning his shirt. "Oh okay" Rosalinda mumbled. She stared at Chase as he finished dressing up. She's fallen for this man already and he is good in bed as well. Now that she's gotten him, she is not going to let him go. She would get herself glued to him and be ready to serve him. "See you soon, baby" Chase declared and came over to kiss her lips briefly. Rosalinda smiled

    He glared at her annoyingly. She slept with Chase and the thought of it made him angrier. Why would she go for his brother and not someone else? "If you really want to be fucked, why did you refuse it in the office earlier today. Why sleep with my brother? Why are you after us, what information do you want from us? Who sent you Arianna? I haven't forgotten what I will do to you. And if I don't get convinced enough, I will murder you and have your body chopped in pieces and feed to the fishes" Jace threatened. "Just go ahead. Do whatever you want to do to me. I don't care anymore. I will not try to make you think otherwise. Think whatever you want, I will not defend myself anymore" Arianna yelled at him and that provoked him the most. He yanked her over, and pressed her chin together "I told you not to raise your voice at me, bitch" he declared, his eyes resting on her boops. He felt himself hardened at the sight of it and placed his lips on it, sucking it. He bit i

    When the couple alighted, Chase held Rosalinda's hand, intertwining his fingers ders with hers. They drew closer, and a few securities walked over to their boss. When Chase walked over he turned and glared at the securities in hostility "the next time you opened that gate to some unwanted guests, your job in this house is ended!" He thundered. "We are not unwanted guests Mr Hudson. We are law enforcement agencies with a search warrant…" One of the police officers was saying when Chase snapped at him. "If you have a search warrant, do you also have a gate pass?" He asked, his usual arrogant personality taking over the calmness he portrayed at the orphanage. For a few seconds, none could say a word until the man next to Amanda Smith introduced himself "I am Barr. Clifford,Miss Amanda Smith's lawyer" he said, dissipating the awkwardness in the air. "We have a search warrant from the head office to search your mansion for Miss Bella Smith, a girl you adopted fr

    How dare he say she needs the advice the most when he was the one who hurt her and rejected the baby? How can he refer to himself as Bella's father after ordering her to have an abortion back then. If she had gone ahead, she would have flushed Bella away. Now, he brought his face before her and said he is Bella's father? She's not afraid of him anymore. What she wants is her daughter and nothing else. "Amanda, I know that you are hurt. I also know that I made you hurt. But please, I'm begging you let's talk about our daughter please" Chase pleaded. "Yes, Miss Amanda. Just give him a chance and talk to him. This mother is pleading with you as a mother, listen to Chase" Rosalinda coaxed. "I don't have anything to talk to him about. You wanted me to have an abortion back then. You paid for it and told me not to come before you again. And I didn't, I never came to find you ever again. And today you call yourself my daughter's father? How is that possible?

  • One Night With Mr Billionaire    An unexpected turn

    The both of them stared at each other in shock. Chase remembered the dream. Everything played fresh in his memory and he was afraid of the rest of the dream becoming a reality. Amanda Smith glared at him. She was thinking about him without knowing he was standing next to her. What is going on here? She remembered the past. How she was involved with Chase and became pregnant. How he urged and persuaded her for an abortion. He transferred a large sum of money into her account and told her not to come before him again or return someday with some damn baby to blackmail him. He is a Hudson. A billionaire and has power. But she's a nobody. She had to hide away and carried her baby in her belly and gave birth to her without his knowledge. She doesn't have the ability or the name to fight him. Now, after a few years she met with him again. But she hopes he's not the man who adopted her daughter? From the words of the matron, she hopes her daughter hasn't found h

    Chase kept his gaze on her confused facial expression. He chuckled softly and said "No. She's my daughter by adoption. And now, the orphanage wants to see me along with her" Rosalinda shook her head in disapproval. She'd always thought she's his daughter for real, that is, by blood connection. And she didn't bother asking him about the girl's Mom. And the resemblance, how come about it then? She takes after Chase 50% in appearance. Her eyes looked a lot like Eli and his dad. "But Bella looks like you and your family…" Rosalinda interjected. This is unbelievable. If Chase hadn't told her himself, she wouldn't have believed it if someone else told her. "It's a coincidence. We're not related by blood" Chase replied, smiling. Somehow the girl looks like the Hudson's. That's one other reason he insisted he would adopt her. She would fit perfectly into the family. "Are you sure none of your ex…"Rosalinda trailed off. It's enough. If Chase said she's his daughter by

    The matron nodded and smiled. The only kid in the orphanage that goes by the name Bella was the one adopted a few months ago. "Can we get the information about your daughter and the legal documentation you signed? Amanda smiled and brought out all the necessary documents and placed them before the matron. After glancing over it and comparing it with the copies in the orphanage. She realised that it's her daughter indeed that has been given off in adoption. "We waited for you for many years. Other parents returned to get their kids and many were adopted except Bella…"the matron trailed off. They couldn't reach her. She changed her address and her contacts were forever switched off. Since there was no information about her, they couldn't inform her that her daughter had been adopted. "I'm sorry about that ma'am. Life was unfair to me so I decided to go away for a few years. But I'm back now. I have a job and I've returned to fetch my daughter" Amanda Smith

    Jace couldn't curtail the excitement surging in him. Arianna is pregnant again, it only means he's eventually going to be a father again. "Thank you" Jace chimed. He smiled broadly. Richard smiled too. He can't wait for the day when he will also receive such good news as an expectant father. "Watch her diet Jace, if you can. Especially the intake of alcohol is not good for the baby" Richard advised. "Yeah, sure" Jace nodded. He glanced at the direction where the ladies went and felt like going after her and hugging her affectionately. She's carrying his child, Eli will have his request granted in a couple of months. They had hardly finished the party when Jace had Arianna come upstairs. There's a kind of excitement in him that she hasn't seen before. He almost was going to spoon-feed her. This deep expression of love, she doesn't know what she'd done to deserve it. Anyways she accompanied him. "You'll have to do a test. I bought five different brands

    Her heartbeat almost skipped. She stood gazing at the two people she least expected to come and see her. Is she dreaming or hallucinating? She blinked her eyes and opened them again, but they remained at the same spot, smiling broadly at her. She turned and glanced at Chase,the latter shrugged. Chase went to see them, is that why she didn't wake up to find him next to her? She swallowed hard and wanted to say something but her words choked in her throat. Chase has impressed her over and over with his ability to reconcile people together. "Congratulations baby" Pricillia Black was the first to make an utterance. She opened her arms and walked towards Rosalinda. The latter mumbled "mummy" and her eyes went cloudy with tears. She got into her mom's arms and hugged her. Her tears gave way and for some seconds, they both couldn't say anything but remained in each other's arms. "Mummy,I missed you," Rosalinda confessed. She sniffled and swallowed hard. Her mom's t

    "... I'm sorry . I know I have been stupid in the past. I trespassed. I bruised your ego and I said demeaning words to you, but I sincerely apologise to you and I seek nothing but your forgiveness. Even if you don't want to forgive me, for your daughter's sake, forgive me. Rosalinda is broken and unhappy. For the rest of yesterday, she's sobbing secretly. Do you want your daughter to be unhappy? No mother or brother ever wishes so for their daughter and sister. I humbly request you to forgive me for her sake. Rosalinda loves me a lot. She hadn't stop loving me for once. I fell in love with her after she miscarried my baby. I swear that I regretted my actions. I tried to apologise, but you both didn't give me a chance. I am a different person now. I love your daughter more than anything else in this world. Please give us your blessings, dear mother inlaw…" Chase pleaded. Pricillia Black was speechless. She doesn't know if she's to be angry or just walk away. Bu

    She had been unexceptionally quiet all the way from the registry. After her encounter with her family, her excitement went down and she had only been forcing herself to appear happy. But Chase wouldn't forfeit the pleasure of his wedding night simply because the bride wasn't looking cheerful. He has to take his conjugal right. Rosalinda was not giving him the expected cooperation. She wasn't in the slightest mood or interested to consummate her wedding. If Chase can just spare her that night. Before the next day, she would have been able to put her emotions together and willingly give herself to him. And she cannot tell Chase about it. And the latter refused to interpret the attitude she was giving him. Chase just doesn't want to understand at all. "What's happening Rosa? Don't you want me to make love to you?" Chase asked, feeling annoyed already. He had to undress her and despite that, she was stiffening her body. He suspected that she doesn't want to cons
