I'm Kate Bamford, and I'm an EA (Executive Assistant), and I've just started a new job with - quite honestly the most gorgeous man I've ever set eyes on. This is a shame because men - gorgeous, sexy, or otherwise are completely off my radar! I can blame my ex for that, he's a controlling, miserable PoS! Weeks of being told what I can and cannot do would drive anyone to murder. Oops! The less said about that the better. No, I didn't stick a knife in his black petrified heart, but I did cause him major humiliation, which, thinking about it might have been even worse. My big worry is I have a secret, and the last thing I need is for my ex or anyone else to find out. Nobody will rescue me if my secret gets out. I'm Darius Graves, CEO of Graves and Son. I have a big problem, it concerns my mother - a matriarchal socialite who lives 3,461 miles away from me in New York. It's not far enough! My 'dearest' mother thinks nothing of getting into her private jet and popping over to see me in London as if she's going to the corner shop for a pint of milk. The thing is, she wants me to get married, but only to a girl she chooses. There is not a snowball's chance in hell of this ever happening. No way. No how. My two best friends are always coming up with various solutions to this problem. i.e. Sell the bank, or keep the bank and work from home in Katmandu. However, their latest idea is a fake marriage. But to whom? I can only think of one person, and that is my new assistant. She's beautiful and thinking about her keeps me awake at night.

Made it to chapter 4. Mediocre read. Predictable characters and story.

Chapter 1 Kate Gets Wet

Oh man, talk about a disastrous day! Here I am, strolling through Canary Wharf, the financial centre of London. I have an interview today for a job I really want, and wouldn't you know it, the weather gods decided to rain on my parade, literally. My supposedly trusty umbrella turned out to be more like a sieve, letting every drop of rain soak me to the bone. I have to say, it wasnt raining when I set off for my interview and catching a taxi would not help my meagre finances Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, along comes Mr Showoff in his flashy red penis extension, zooming past me like he's on a mission to create a tidal wave. Guess who ended up being the unsuspecting victim? Yup, me. I was drenched from head to toe, my clothes clinging to me like wet seaweed. It's moments like these when you question your life choices, right? But hey, there was a glimmer of hope shining through the rain clouds. I finally reached the building I was heading to, and stepping inside felt

Chapter 2 Mother's Demands

God forbid me from throttling my mother!I glared across the lunch table at my mother. How many times had I told her to keep her nose out of my affairs, and that I barely have time to wipe my arse, never mind have a relationship? Not that I would say that to her, but she knew my time was limited.“Absolutely not Mother! Why the hell do you think I want you to choose my life partner, my wife? I’ve been the head of a banking corporation for 5 years now and I am 36. She wasn’t paying the slightest attention to me when I looked across the table at her. She buttered her bread roll and glanced at the Vogue magazine resting at the side of her plate. She turned the page.Some days there are meetings back to back, and the only respite I get is in the car going from one to the other. Even then, I’m reading notes and looking at emails. Where do I find time for a relationship? Though I’m not saying I’m celibate, there are certain girls who will drop everything to come and see me. I am a busy man a

Chapter 3 First Day Jitters

Two weeks later. Since puddle-gate, and the interview with the lovely Violet Smith I got the job. I went home to celebrate with my boyfriend. I say boyfriend, but I hadn’t decided if he was what I wanted in a boyfriend. I’d noticed a bit of a temper when things didn’t go well for him, and although he apologised for losing his temper immediately I just hung back on taking things all the way. He was good fun and charming, but there was just something…Anyway truth will out, and he thought he could help himself to my body. Picture this: a dimly lit restaurant, where the air is thick with the scent of candle wax and garlic. The evening started off innocently enough, with my ex, Greg Moorcroft, trying his best to impress me with his newfound charm. But little did I know that behind that charming smile lurked a devious plan—a plan to take advantage of my vulnerability. As we finished our dinner, Greg suggested we skip the drive home and head to his place for a "nightcap." Now, I'm no prud

Chapter 4 Darius & Oliver

Kate and I had been getting on extremely well. She worked hard, and today I sent her on a tour of the other departments, to introduce herself and I had no doubt that they would like her, it's not often an assistant tells me I have a penis extension. I believe Violet had spread the word to one or two people. She told me off when everything had been explained and I think this was her revenge for the tricks I'd played on her. She was a good friend and there was no way she would let me get above myself.Now, I had a meeting with someone who I despised. I was not looking forward to it.As I sat across from Oliver, a simmering resentment bubbled within me. He was the epitome of privilege, always handed everything on a silver platter, while the rest of us toiled and fought for our dreams. It was infuriating to witness him now, as the CEO of his father's company, without having earned it.We had been childhood acquaintances, although it had been seven long years since I last saw him at his fat

Chapter 5 Kate Calls For Help

Today was interesting, Darius sent me off on a tour of the bank, and it was quite illuminating, Somehow they got hold of puddle-gate, and I was treated as though I'd just scored the winning penalty in the World Cup. It was fun, and I made some friends. Darius had a meeting this morning, but he said it was nothing important and Marsha would cover for me. He'd done a quick and unexpected trip to Beijing as someone there had cocked up. He was totally jet-lagged so he'd gone home. He left me a note on my desk saying he'd see me tomorrow and left me a pile of work to get on with. That was okay. I typed all the emails he had dictated and got them sent off.I left the building at five and got home after six. It wasn’t such a long journey, and I was glad to be home. I have an upstairs flat in a large Victorian house. Decorating was my passion and my home was perfect for me. The flat was mine, I had bought my home thanks to an inheritance I had received from Nan. She always looked after me ver

Chapter 6 Dolly's

I hopped on the tube to Dolly's, knowing Jeff would be there to pick me up when I gave him a call. Despite being a billionaire, I am okay with navigating London on my own. After all, nobody would recognize me, and I don't flaunt expensive jewellery like those flashy footballers. Honestly, I don't even own a diamond-encrusted watch. Material possessions don't really faze me. However, I do have a fancy watch reserved for special occasions like charity galas and such. But if I strolled into a cosy pub like Dolly's, even though it's been all spruced up and expanded, the regulars and Dolly herself would have a field day teasing me relentlessly. In our student days, Seb, Ethan, and I were lucky enough to reside just a stone's throw away from the pub. We developed a special bond with Dolly, the lovely landlady. She not only showed us how to whip up a fantastic roast dinner but also let us take turns working behind the bar. We even became pals with the regulars, and one year, we decided to tr

Chapter 7 Kate and Grolliver

The next morning, I strolled into the office bright and early, only to discover that I had the place to myself. Mr. “I’m-here-at-six” Graves decided to grace us with his presence at a fashionably late nine-thirty, and boy, did he look like he had been through a rough night. I breezed into his office, armed with a pot of strong black coffee. “Good morning, sir! How’s life treating you today?” I couldn’t help but chuckle as I found him slumped over his desk, his head resting on his arms. “I’ve brought you some rocket-fueled coffee and painkillers. Need me to cancel your morning meetings? You’ve got nothing until 10:30,” I offered with a smirk. Darius raised his sleepy eyes and muttered, “Just keep the coffee flowing, please.” Pouring him a cup, I couldn’t resist teasing, “Hungry? A full English breakfast could be the ultimate hangover cure, you know.” Uh-oh, my joke backfired as my boss stumbled to his feet and made a mad dash for his private bathroom. Deciding to give him some alo

Kate Chapter 8 Lunch with the boss

I was absolutely sure that Kate found me very unpleasant. I was so angry. Angry for her, and for Sebastian and the memory of his father, who was just as much a father to me. I sat quietly in the corner of the car, unable to put my thoughts into words or show how I felt. Even though the restaurant I wanted to go to was close by, I felt the need to take a few more minutes to calm down before going out in public. I didn’t want to take my anger into the restaurant and disturb the waiters and the other diners. Especially as there might be someone who knew me having their lunch there. Kate's eyebrows shot up in disbelief as I addressed Jeff, to take another trip around the block, undoubtedly questioning my actions with a mixture of shock and confusion. "Sorry," I managed to utter through gritted teeth, "I just need a few damn minutes to rein in my anger." Kate tilted her head in frustration, her voice dripping with anger. "Oh, so you think you need to control your anger? How about cons

Chapter 9 Intruder Alert

As I ran up the steps from the tube, I made sure to stay vigilant, keeping my eyes peeled. The last thing I wanted was to spot Groliver's red car parked outside my house or even along the way. Who knows what he was capable of doing next, and I certainly didn't want to find out. Darius was an absolute legend! He didn't waste a second questioning "The Groll" and just delivered a satisfying thump. And the best part? He remained kind even when I let out my frustration by yelling at him. It must have been quite a shock for Darius too, having known that man his whole life, only to discover his true colors. But hey, we both handled it like champs. I couldn't help but give myself a well-deserved pat on the back because I'm pretty sure I impressed my boss with my actions against Greg. It's not every day you see someone standing up to a troublemaker, and I made sure I did it with style. Though, despite all the tough times I've faced in my twenty-six years, I never let them define me. They may

Chapter 10 Darius to the Rescue

My phone rang as I stepped out of the shower, jolting me from my post-work relaxation. Instinctively, I reached for it and saw Kate's name on the screen. "Miss Bamford? Kate? Are you okay?" I asked, my concern evident in my voice. Kate's voice quivered slightly as she replied, "Hi, I'm sorry to bother you. I didn't know who else to call." Something was definitely amiss. "Tell me, what is it, Kate?" I said, putting her on speakerphone and swiftly getting dressed. We had only said our goodbyes a couple of hours ago, and I couldn't shake off the thought that her fuckwit ex-boyfriend might have been lurking nearby. "This is going to sound ridiculous, but when I came home, there was a mug in the sink and a dirty teaspoon," Kate explained, her words stumbling over each other. Confusion washed over me. "What? I'm sorry, I don't understand." There was a sigh of frustration from the other end of the line. "No, no, it's my fault. I didn't explain it properly," she said, her voice tinged
