Meet Valerie Jones, a woman who's about to trade in her dignity for a dustpan. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and she's forced to accept a job as a housekeeper for a demanding CEO. But little does she know, her fate is about to get tangled up with a pair of bickering twins who can't stand each other - and that's just the beginning of a lifetime adventure filled with love, lies, betrayal, and enough kiddie chaos to drive her crazy!
View MoreValerie watched as Chris walked out of the office and banged the door behind him. She was unmoved, her eyes cold and devoid of emotion. All Valerie could think of was how immaturely Chris had misunderstood their sexual encounter the previous night for love. Her clarification was they were two starved adults and they had found a mutual ground. That’s all it was. Or that’s all she wanted to believe. Frankly, by then Valerie had grown much fond of Chris. She could feel her heart slowly creating space for him. Nevertheless her worry and fear made perfect sense to her. It had only been a few months since she had gotten over Chase, and she felt unprepared to give her heart to another once more. She didn’t want to be quick to give in. Valerie wasn’t ready for the attention, the complications and the possible betrayals and heartbreaks love came with. She admitted Chris was good, better than Chase, best of them all and she too could not have enough of him. Whatever the misunderstandings, she kn
Valerie’s half-open eyes took a glimpse at the clock. It read half past nine. Alarmed, she jumped out of bed. A note by the bedside caught her attention. She grabbed it and read, while her lips revealed a gorgeous smile. It read: Take a day off. You’ve been thoroughly… occupied. “How naughty!”, she mumbled to herself.Although she knew Chris would allow her a day off, she had a presentation she badly had to prepare for. She hurried out of Chris’ bedroom and rushed to her own. Rushing to the bathroom, she took a warm, quick shower. Afterwards, she moisturized her body and reached for the first clothes her eyes fell on in the closet; a grey formal, pencil dress and black loafers. She paced down the staircase, hurried to the garage and hoped into a Mercedes-Benz CLA. She sped off , headed to Global Nexus Company.As she drove off, her mind drifted to the previous night. At first she had been embarrassed by the office encounter, but her body still shook with intense desire, she wanted mor
Chase sat on the polished, exquisitely made bar stools in his mansion, barely able to hold himself. He looked at the bar, his sight blurry, searching for another strongest drink there was. Unanswerable questions swirled in his mind, “Why does Chris always have a way to take everything that is mine? Why is my twin brother so wicked? Why is he snatching my woman away from me?Fairly though, Chris wasn’t taking Valerie from him. Chase had messed up big time, treated Valerie like trash and was quick to discard her. Now he understood more the depth of her pain, seeing the one he desired in that ungodly position hurt him to the core. “So is this how Valerie felt when she found me in the act with Dora? Did the pain have to hurt so bad?”, he wondered. He’d been unapologetic, he’d snapped at her, reminded her that his house was his and he could bring anyone he wanted to. Still, Valerie had been willing to make things right.However, he went on to break up with Valerie and chose Dora, but all t
She gave him a light, playful slap on the cheek. “What was that for?”, she asked, feeling shy like a child caught stealing sugar. She quickly put on her shirt, and wiped off the sweat on her neck.“I’m not sorry”, he confessed, as he buttoned his shirt.“You need to know your limits, Mr Malvins”, she said firmly, her face straight, picking up her underwear and skirt from the floor.“You mean the same Mr Malvins whom you have just shared the most orgasmic moment with? You don’t have to pretend, it’s all over your face I know you like what you just did”, he said. Valerie laughed, looking away. She went over to her desk, pulled the chair and threw herself down.“I think we need to draw a line over there to divide this office in two. No one crosses over to the other side. Strictly business”, she suggested.“That is so juvenile”, he said as he followed her to her desk. He stood behind her chair, holding her shoulders as she was sitted.“You have been planning on this haven’t you?”, Valerie
The sudden realization that she was five months pregnant with Chase’s baby was undeniably a bitter pill to swallow for Valerie. Nevertheless, with time Valerie accepted her fate, acknowledged the baby growing in her womb as her blessing and had nothing to do with her failed relationship with Chase. Chris had been a pillar and good friend. As she had commenced work as Chris’ Personal Assistant a month prior, she was relieved that his bond with her hadn’t attracted media attention. For some reason, she had opted to share the office with Chris. Perhaps it was because she felt more secure with Chris, than the rest.One morning as she took a break, she switched off her laptop, and walked her way to the edge of the room. Chris heard her stilettos clicking on the marble floor. He sneakingly shifted his sight to her, and watched her bottom swaying seductively. After the sneak peak, he raised his newspaper again, trying not to get caught.Looking at the high rise buildings, Valerie took a deep
An hour later Chase opened the door. He was stunned and his eyes narrowed.“ What do you want?”, Chase asked, his eyes blazing. “You are not going to use her baby as leverage”, Chris declared, letting himself in and closing the door.“Oh, so now that you’ve ruined Tasha’s life, you think you can swoop in and play hero for my baby mama?” Chase sneered, his voice dripping with venom. “ I ruined Tasha’s life? That’s news to me!”, Chris said, letting out a loud, piercing laugh.“Oh, so now Valerie’s sent you to do her dirty work, huh? How pathetic. She’s got you dancing on a string, and you’re just a mindless puppet eager to please her. Newsflash, Chris, you’re nothing but a doormat for her to wipe her feet on. And I’ve heard you’re treating her like your personal trophy, polishing her ego and feeding her insecurities. How cute. Take my leftovers brother, go ahead. You’re welcome to the trash I’ve discarded. Enjoy being her second-hand man, her Plan B, her consolation prize”. As soon as
Dora finally flew back to Colombia. Gradually, the media’s attention shifted away from Chase and Valerie’s fiasco to whatever latest scandal there was, some celebrity’s album release or trending show, much to Valerie’s relief. Hiding from the world in Chris’ secluded mansion, she felt safe and serene. She finally put her failed relationship with Chase Malvins behind her. She knew that eventually she would be able to face the world again.Valerie would often vividly remember the day she stepped into Chris’ mansion, from Roosevelt hotel. Her gaze had fallen upon the wilted Orchid, once her beloved favourite. “You stopped watering the Orchid, didn’t you?” she asked, a hint of accusation in her voice. Chris had shrugged, guilt in his eyes. As days turned into months, Valerie started to notice a shift in Chris’ behaviour around her. He would often find excuses to spend more time with her, seeking her opinion on everything from his business decisions to his favourite TV shows. But it was t
A week had passed since Dora and Chase’s disgusting lovemaking video had gone viral. By then , every sane human being thought Dora would be somewhere, hiding her face in shame over what she had done. However, on the contrary of everyone’s expectations, Dora was enjoying the attention the media was showering on her. As often as she could, Dora would deliberately make a public appearance, and enjoy the cameras clicking at her, news reporters running after her.Finally, the day everyone had been waiting for came. Karen, the best presenter was to interview Dora over her love affair with Chase.“Dora”, she started, “…everyone can’t help but wonder how you still manage to show your face after …no offense but a disgusting, despicable, shameless act. Dora rolled her eyes, her fingers running down her hair.“What’s so shameful about having a sexual intercourse?”, Dora asked.“But with a man who is about to marry another woman in four days?”, Karen asked. Dora just gazed at her and shrugged, un
Just then, Chris swiftly changed the subject. “So just be strong friend. Time is like a river. You can’t touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again, so enjoy every moment of life”.“What was that?”, she asked, surprised at his words.“Oops! Forgive me, I just can’t help but become poetic in this garden of …”.She burst into laughter. They both now felt tired as it was running late. Chris accompanied Valerie to her hotel. “ I will just put you to bed and l will be out”, he promised. Valerie sat in bed, then it was time for Chris to go leave, but he kept on moving about.“You want to tell me something?”, she asked.He looked at her, surprised. “It shows?”, he asked back. “Well, I was wondering if I could spend the night on the couch”, he said, hesitantly. Valerie said nothing.“You won’t even know l am her, I promise”, he said.“And why would you leave the comfort of your home for a small uncomfortable, hotel couch?”, she asked, she had been aston
The dark woods were eerily silent, the only sound being the hum of the car’s engine. Chase’s eyes scanned the road ahead, his mind still preoccupied with the events of the day. As CEO, he had presided over the discussion, guiding his senior executives through a thorough analysis of the company’s quarterly performance. He recalled the sharp lines of his CFO’s graphs, the upward trends and downward dips that told the story of his company’s growth and challenges. The discussions, the debates, and the decisions made around the polished conference table all replayed in his mind like a video on loop. Chase sat comfortably behind the wheel, feeling the gentle breeze rustling his hair as the window rolled down, allowing the fresh air to fill the vehicle. As Chase drove, the wind whispered through the open window, creating a soothing melody that harmonized with the hum of the engine. With each passing mile, his worries faded away, replaced by a deep sense of calm and freedom. Chase felt himse...
