LEILANI'S POV:
I stared pointedly at my laptop screen, my eyes darting from the laptop to the door of Mr Black's office.
It is already time for him to leave but he haven't walk out of his office. After awhile, I stood up from my chair, pushing it back a little as I made my way to the door.
I stood in front of it contemplating if I should knock or not. I swallowed the lump in my throat and turn on my heels, matching back to my desk.
I sat back down on my chair and glanced at wristwatch. 5:49pm, he should be out by now.
I didn't know what to think, I was worried about him. Almost immediately the door was pushed open and he stroll out of the office, his left hand clutching his phone and his eyes searching for something until they rest on me.
I stood up almost immediately, my palm sweaty.
He looked delicious as always, smart, so fucking beautiful. Those pair of gray eyes staring at me silently.
"Good night, Sir." I said as he walk away from my sight. I knew that he heard me. I wanted him to hear me. Few minutes later after rounding up with what I was doing, I grabbed my bag and logged out of my laptop then shut it down, I switched off the light and walk towards the elevator.
I pressed the elevator door and walk inside, my back pressed against the cold surface, my eyes closed momentarily. I let out a strangled sigh.
It has been a long day, but it worth it because he is richer by millions today, I know that the deal with Winchester Corporation will profit him a lot.
I got to the garage and unlocked my car, I throw my bag into the back seat and sat down behind the wheel, I pulled the car out of the parking lot and hit the road.
I felt like shit, my muscles were throbbing, my head itching, I needed a lot of rest, u desperately want to sink into a bathtub filled with warm water.
I stopped the car in my driveway and got down from it, grabbing my back and locked the car. I stepped on the front porch, my feet taking me towards the door, I fumbled with my key, trying to open the door. I successfully opened the door and stepped inside the pitched black house.
Everywhere was dark, I groaned in annoyance remembering that my electricity circuit had some problem last night.
I locked the door and fished out my phone from my bag, I turned on the flashlight and ushered myself fully inside the house. Just as I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, my phone started ringing. I checked the screen and smiled when I saw Serafina's name flashs on the screen.
I quickly receive the call, "Hello, girl."
"If you're not my best friend Leilani fucking Carter, I would have cursed you." She shouted on the phone, I raised an eyebrow then quietly make my way out of the kitchen in the dark.
I sighed, " I'm sorry, Fina, I really thought I could make it but I had to work. You know…"
"Whatever, are you coming over this weekend? I've got to tell you something or you gonna choose sexy Mr Black over me?" She asked, I laughed loudly, I bet my money on it, she's definitely rolling her eyes right now.
"I'll try and make out some time for our girls night Fina, and Dylan have nothing to do with it. I just got back from work, I got to take my bath and order something for dinner." I said as I unlocked the door of my room.
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow then. Good night," she said and hanged up.
"Good night." I muttered, staring at the blank screen.
***
After taking a warm bath and spending almost twenty minutes doing so, I ordered for pepperoni pizza.
Pepperoni pizza wasn't really my favorite pizza but I craved it at the moment.
I sat down on the couch in my living room, the TV remote in my hand while I started searching for a perfect channel to keep myself busy.
I came across a cooking show and dropped the remote beside my on the couch when the doorbell rang.
I unlocked the door and smiled politely at the delivery guy. I collected the pizza from him and quickly pay off.
A slice of pizza in my hand, I sat down on the couch, a duvet wrapped around my body as I watch the cooking show. After eating four slice of the pizza, my eyes stings, I turned off the TV and headed up to my room.
I woke up the next morning, took my bath and waste five minutes searching for what to wear.
I pulled out a lemon colored shirt and a black pencil skirt.
I stood before my mirror and smiled at myself, I am beautiful, that I know quite well. I have a blonde straight hair, light green eyes and 5'5 tall. I'm short I know, that was why I always wear my stiletto heels everytime.
During the five years that I've worked for Dylan Black, I haven't seen him with a lot of women. Men like him are tend to have a lot of women in their life but I haven't seen any with Dylan. At a time I believed that he was gay.
I tried to push the thought out of my mind but I still think about it sometime but I tried not to judge him or the sexuality he might choose.
I shook out the thought and stepped out of the house, I locked the front door and stepped inside my car. I drive out of the driveway and hit the accelerator.
After twenty minutes of driving I got to the company, I parked my car at the parking lot and hurried inside the elevator. I got to my desk and dropped my bag on my desk.
"Hi secretary Carter, Mr Black said you should come to him immediately you come to work." Kira, one of the employees told me.
I was shock and stammered out a question, " He…..he is here already?"
"He came to work about thirty minutes ago." She responded before walking away.
Oh shit, I always make sure that he doesn't come to work before me.
I'm in for some shit if he is in a bad mood this morning.
LEILANI'S POV:I nervously walk inside Mr. Black's office, closing the door behind me. I walk over to his desk. He was sitting down behind the huge mahogany desk, wearing a spectacle, his eyes fixed on the laptop before him."Good morning, Sir." I greeted. He nodded and motioned for me to come to his side. I bite on my lower lip nervously and walk behind the desk to his side.He pointed at the screen of his laptop, I bent my back, my hand on the desk and my eyes fixed on the screen reading what was written there."Sir, it is an invitation letter." I said and cursed myself inwardly. I was sure that I got the mail first but since I haven't l
LEILANI'S POV:Throughout my day at work I was trying to find the perfect timing to go to Dylan but it seems like the perfect timing never get here.I was looking up every two minutes from my laptop to his door. He was yet to come out of his office since he came in. He was in a very bad mood earlier and going to him to ask for days off will piss him off beyond measures.I had to thred carefully.My telephone rang and I quickly brought it up to my ear."Secretary Carter of Black's corporation here, what can I do for you?" I asked in my professional voice.
LEILANI'S POV: I got inside the cab after making sure that my passport was and ticket was intact. I managed to get Kiara's help, now I had only two days to get back to work. Tomorrow evening I'll be on the next plane back to New York. "Let's go, please." I told the cab driver. It has been long I last saw my mother, sobi was so excited for this journey. I grabbed my phone and dialed Kiara's number. 'Hey, how is it going?' i asked her. She giggled softly before responding. 'Mr Black is
LEILANI'S POV:I was sitting outside the balcony with Gregory, pressing my phone and texting Serafina. I'll be leaving for New York in four hours and the few hours I have left, I wanted to make something out of it.Zoey walked towards us with a board of cheese."Nah, that's Pápa's. You know how to play? I always kick Greg's ass Everytime we play." I told her. She chuckled and kissed Greg on the lips before sitting down on the empty chair beside him."Why don't we bet on that?" She asked. I became excited, I looked at Greg but he wasn't the least interested. It sounded fun, it has been a long time since I last did something fun.Zoey is a fun girl and that was why
Dylan's POV:The car pulled up in front of the company and Daniel my driver came to open the door for me.I got out if the car and walked towards the front door."Stay around, I might need you soon." I told him.I board my private elevator and not too long later, I was in my office floor.When my grandfather made me the CEO of our pipeline corporation, I wasn't so sure if myself.It was a responsibility I wasn't sure I was ready for, after managing it for four years I realized that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be at the beginning, it became even more interesting after I employed Leilani Carter as my secretary; my highly capable secretary.She is smart but not so smart sometimes, especially when her feelings for me clouds her judgements.She is love sick with me, it didn't start today, it started years ago b
Dylan's POV:I sat down inside my home office thinking about the possible solution to my current dilemma.I know that grandfather was serious. He doesn't threaten anyone if he isn't going to do what he says.I knew that he would surely take away my hard earned inheritance from me if I refused to do the one simple thing he asked of me.I don't have a girlfriend, I don't deal with girlfriends. How am I going to get someone that will cooperate with me in this?My mind kept going around and around until I thought of Leilani Carter.Leilani Carter.She is beautiful and smart, she is the perfect woman that I can trust with this.With her love for me I'm sure she wouldn't mind being my wife for a few years.I grabbed my phone from my desk and dialed her number.It rings twice but she didn't pick it up so I sent her a message instead.Miss Carter,I'd like you to come to my house tonight.There is an importan
LEILANI'S POV:I waited to see his reactions to my words but he just nodded his head."Margret." He called, a young girl in her early twenties walked in, an apron wrapped around her body. Margret was madame Solange's child, after the woman's death, Margret took her mother's place as Dylan's cook."You called me, Sir?" She asked and Dylan hummed."Get dinner ready, I'll be having dinner with Leilani. " He said, she looked up at me and smiled shyly. I can't believe that he hasn't eaten dinner by now. He always have his dinner before 8pm every night. Could it be that he was working and forgot the time?After Margret as left, I focused my attention to Dylan."We will go through the dos and donts while eating," he told me and I nodded my head.He continued typing on his phone until after a while, Margret came back to announce that the dinner is set.Dylan and I walked inside the dining room and sat down on the chair. Spaghetti
LEILANI'S POV: When I got back from making Dylan's coffee, his lawyer was already inside his office. I sat there opposite Dylan, my hands on my lap as I watch Dylan and David Sinclair, his lawyer and the head of his legal team. "So Miss Carter, before we can discuss anything with you I'd like you to sign this paper. " David Sinclair said and pushed a paper and a pen towards me. I grabbed the file from the table and quickly red the heading. A NDA. No disclosure agreement. I grabbed the pen and put my signature on the file. "Very well then." He said and took the file then kept it in his briefcase. He brought out another file from his briefcase and handed it over to Dylan. Dylan went through the file quickly and nodded his head then handed it back to me. 'A one year marriage contract
61Leilani has succeeded in putting the kids to sleep, she walked out of the kids room and went to their room next do but couldn't find Dylan there. She raised one eyebrow and closed the door before making her way downstairs.She checked the bar and she couldn't find her husband so she walked down the hallway towards his office.She knocked softly on the door before pushing it open.Dylan was sitting on his desk and working on his laptop when Leilani walked in. He had a lot of works to do since he was planning to open a new branch of his company in Tokyo and since he now go home early most of the days he couldn't work on everything in his office at the company.Dylan gazed up as soon as he heard the knock and watched Leilani walk in."Hey, Babe." Leilani greeted as she walked further inside the office. Her eyes scanned the large mahogany desk and the equipments on top of it, ranging from the computer, the laptop in front of Dylan. The unlit cigar beside his laptop and lots more."I ch
60Dylan joined Leilani on the bed and wrapped his hand around her waist.She has been healing for months now and the more he looked at her the more he wanted to touch her.Thinking about her made him happy.He wanted to spoil his little wife. He wanted to give her anything her heart desires.He wanted to make her happy. She just have to say the word."Did you have fun cooking with your friends today?" Dylan asked her and Leilani nodded. She placed her hand on top of Dylan's and sighed."Greg's wedding is next week, I knew that he pushed it back this far because of me. I want to surprise him but I don't know how." She complained. Dylan sighed and sniffed her hair as he closed his eyes."What do you think he would appreciate the most? A car? A house? Or you can buy him a land. That would be better. If I were him I would appreciate the land more." Dylan said and Leilani turned around in his arms to face him. She touched his forehead and pushed up the hair that was covering them. Her eyes
59Leilani was laying down on a king sized bed inside the VIP room at the hospital, a drip attached to her hand and her eyes closed. She was only wearing a basketball outfit and her hair was pack into a messy bun by Serafina."How is she doing?" Mrs Carter said as she walked inside the room with two shopping bags in her hand."She haven't wake up yet after breastfeeding them, but the doctor said it is because of the medicine injected inside the drip." Serafina responded and touched Leilani's hand."She is so strong, I had no idea that she was carrying quadruplets inside her." Serafina muttered under her breath.Right after giving birth to her babies Leilani became weak. She was transferred to the VIP section where her babies were brought to her after getting cleaned.Leilani couldn't hold back her tears when she saw them.They were the cutest little angels he ever seen. They looked wonderful.The all took Dylan's face. Leilani smiled contentedly when she noticed this. As she breastfee
58Dylan was sitting inside his home when Leilani knocked on the door and walked in.The more her stomach grow the more beautiful she becomes and even Dylan could see this."Hey, Sweetheart." He greeted and stood up to help her.Leilani rounded up the table and walked right into Dylan's opened arms."What are you doing? I search for you almost everywhere around the house." Leilani said and Dylan chuckled.Why would she think of doing something like that?"Why? Are you doing exercises? Why would you search for me in a house that have 10 bedrooms and fifteen toilets?" Dylan asked in amusement.He found the situation funny but Leilani didn't as she lightly punched him on the chest."I want your homemade chicken pasta." Leilani suddenly said. It was just 9:21 a.m. she has eaten breakfast so why would she want another one in less than an hour?"Why? You ate just a few minutes ago." He reminded her and she pushed her hand away." And? And so what? Should I remind you that I'm eating for fou
57They both stared at each other for a while before Leilani walked up to him and wrapped her hands around his waist."I've missed you so much. I felt like I would die. It was suffocating, Baby." Leilani said, her lips quivering and her hands wrapping tightly around Dylan's waist.Dylan placed his hand on her back and rubbed her back up and down in a consoling manner."I am here. I am here for you, Leilani." He whispered. Leilani stopped sobbing and looked up at him, her eyes filled with hope."Say it again. Your last word in the text message you sent me. I want to hear you say it."Leilani said."I love you." Dylan whispered. "I love you, I need you, I want you Baby girl. I would do anything for you."Dylan cupped her cheek and kissed her lips softly, not minding that there were other people inside the living room with them.He just wanted to feel her again, to hold her.After kissing her Leilani smiled sweetly and placed Dylan's hand on top of her stomach.Dylan didn't know how to fe
56Liam was grabbing something from his house when he decided to check up on Leilani but was terrified when he saw her laying on the floor, a pregnancy test in her hand. "Lala, Lala please wake up. Lala!" He shouted while shaking her body viciously.He left her on the ground and rushed inside the bathroom where he soaked a small towel inside the water before going back to where Leilani was spread out.He wiped her forehead and her hands with the wet towel while calling her."Lala? What is going on? Lala wake up." He stuttered and patted her cheek. Leilani woke up with a gasp, her eyes widened and her body shaking.The terrifying reality trickle down her head and moisture clouded her vision.Why is this happening to her?Why does she have to be so unfortunate? Whose child is she carrying? Dylan's or her abuser's?"Lala," Liam called as his eyes trailed to the pregnancy test on the ground. "You are pregnant."Leilani sat up and rested her back against the wall."I am pregnant." She whi
55After about the hours' drive, Leilani finally touched down in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.She was wondering where to go and search for a small town to go where she could be at peace. Ranging from Arizona to Alhambra she finally chooses to go to Doylestown and it looks like she would love it.Before she left New York she made sure not to let anyone know where she was going. She just wanted to see it as a vacation where she would enjoy herself and find peace in herself.After about two hours drive she was standing in front of the house she rented.The house was small but moderate. It is good for just one person. It was decorated with ornament flowers which brought out the beauty even more and the body was painted with milk color. It was simple and beautiful.Leilani pulled out her bag from her car trunk and closed the trunk. She turned to walk inside the house when the next house door was pulled open and Liam who was the same age as Leilani walked out of the house.His and Leilani's ey
54When Leilani was discharged from the hospital she refused to go back to Dylan's house.She just couldn't bare the shame.Moisture gathered in her eyes when she remembered the look that Dylan gave her when she made her intention known.He was hurt.The memories that trickled back in steady and horrendous in their accuracy tormented her.She could still hear her screams and her pleas that fell on deaf ears. She could still feel the pain between her legs where she was taken.She couldn't subject herself to that kind of situation. She has came into conclusion of what she would do and no one would be able to convince her about it."Are you sure about this? You need a lot of love at this moment and your husband is in the best position to provide that for you. You can't do this, Leilani." Serafina said and Leilani sighed. She released a broken breath and swallowed the huge lump that formed inside her mouth."It would be pure wickedness if I stay behind, Fina. The truth might be hidden now
53Leilani's shirt was cut open with a knife. Only her black bra covered her chest. And she was shivering from cold.She was awake on determination. She should have been out long ago."Look at those full breast, they look succulent and beautiful Dylan Black is a lucky m***********." The stranger said and groped her through the bra and Leilani shook her head.She couldn't do anything. Her hands were tied against her back and her legs were tied too. Her eyes were covered with a blindfold and her mouth was already sealed with a duct tape, she was helpless.The bra was also cut into two and her breast was let out of their confinement.One of the men whistled and touched Leilani's breast."Just look at that, so f****** beautiful." He murmured.Tears fell down Leilani's eyes as she was being assaulted.How was she going to survive this? How was she going to go back like nothing happened?How was she going to go out in public and act like all is well with her when it isn't?As she was bei
