Alex surprised her the next morning. Skylar had just managed to catch some sleep after hours of restlessness when her ringing phone jolted her out of it. Stretching on the bed, she groaned as she glared at the offending device, annoyed by whoever was calling for stripping her of her not-so-beauty- sleep. Her annoyance peaked when she picked up her phone to realize that it was an unknown number, but it ebbed right back as soon as she heard the voice of the person on the other end.“Hey, Skylar. This is Alex.” His soothing voice was filled with a smidgen of uncertainty.“Alex.” Skylar breathed his name, genuinely surprised that he'd beat her expectations.“I'm sorry, did I wake you?” He asked.“Honestly, yes.” Skylar answered while trying to stiffle a yawn. There was no need to lie about that.“Oh. I'm sorry. I thought you would be up by now.” He said apologetically.Skylar grimaced. Why would he think she would be up in the middle of the night? Her question was answered when she blinke

“...and as you can see, the crisis cost the company a whole lot. Several clients and investors pulled out, and we're barely hanging on to nine figures in terms of our finances.” Skylar explained as she gestured at several parts of the digital graph she'd pulled up on the screen. “In this case...”“This is irrelevant.” Luca cut her off, his heated gaze searing into her. “Are you doubting the influence of Knight Corporations, Miss Simpson? Everything is going to be sorted out when the market realizes that Lancaster Innovations is now under Knight Corporations.”Bristling at being so rudely interrupted, Skylar forced a smile on her face. “Or it could tank the confidence people have in Knight Corporations. That very much is possible. In this situation, over-confidence is not the solution, Mr. Knight. We both know how well that served you three years ago.”The room fell quite, tension thrumming through the air. Skylar saw the look of shock and intrigue in the eyes of the three executives at
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •71•What A Date Shouldn't Be
“What the fuck was that, dude? That was uncalled for!” Caleb immediately jumped on Luca's case as soon as they were alone in the latter's office. Ignoring his best friend, Luca stormed over to the mini bar cabinet on side of his office, pulling out a half empty bottle of whiskey. Grabbing a whiskey glass, he filled it to the brim and downed the stiff alcohol in just one gulp, feeling it burn his throat and his eyes.He was furious, and his blood rushed through his veins with an emotion he hadn't felt so fiercely in three years. He was fucking jealous.Seeing Skylar's hand wrapped around that guy's elbow, no matter how chastely, had drove him right against the wall especially when the bastard had mentioned that they were going on a date. It'd taken every ounce of restraint within himself to not sweep her off her feet, throw her over his fucking shoulder, take her to his office, and lock the fucking door so she couldn't go anywhere with guy.He poured himself another glass of whiskey an

Skylar's first instinct was to lie, but it quickly occured to her that if she tells Alex that Austin is someone else's child, it would only go on to confirm what Luca said about her jumping form man to man.Picking up her glass of wine, she took a sip to stall for time, but she knew that she would eventually have to pay the piper. "Yes. Austin is Luca's son."Alex just stared at her for several unnerving seconds, until his jaw suddenly clenched, a muscle ticking furiously in it. For the first time tonight, Skylar saw something like an accusation shimmering in his sea blue orbs."You told me Austin's father was not in the picture. You lied to me." He said cooly, and she could see he was keeping himself from saying something he might regret.She hated the look of disappointment in his eyes, but before she could say anything, the tension eased from his expression morphing into a look of realization."Unless... Does he know Austin's his son?"Almost instantly, Skylar felt her defences flar
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •73•How Could She
Skylar swallowed hard, fighting the panic that pulled at the fringes of her control and the feeling in her chest that told her that the secret she'd been guarding so well from him was on it's way to being exposed soon.“You have a son?” Luca repeated in a voice that spoke volumes of denial.Why the hell did he follow her after she rushed out anyway? To torture her some more? She got her answer when she noticed her purse in his hand. Ignoring the demanding look in his eyes, she immediately snatched it out of his hand and zoomed past him, praying he wouldn't follow. He didn't. Apparently, he'd been stunned into inaction by the news of her having a son.Her heart skipped a beat. One second had just changed everything. Now that he knew she had a son, she had no doubt he was going to be investigating and asking questions. Would he put the clues together to realize that Austin's his son or will he continue to let himself be influenced by his belief that she cheated on him?Skylar quickly sh

“So what you're saying is that, you only found out Miss Simpson was five months pregnant after she'd worked for three months in the company?” Creasing his brows, Luca glared at the HR director like she was the reason for the dilemma he found himself in.“Exactly, Sir.” The blonde woman nodded enthusiastically. “She didn't take her leave, though, until she was in the last month of her pregnancy. After she gave birth, she kept on working from home and returned six months after her child was born. A few months later, she was promoted to CFO.”“I see.” Luca pursed his lips, wondering how to bring his next question out without sounding like he had a personal interest in it. “Did she receive visits regularly from males while she was pregnant or afterwards? The father of her child maybe?”Biting her lip, the HR director shook her head, but he eyes looked intrigued. “Not that I'm aware of, sir. I don't think so either. Dare I say, but the subject regarding the father of her son has always been

Skylar's blood was thundering through her ears so loudly that she would be surprised if Luca didn't hear it. And he probably did, judging from the look of bemusement on his face as he stared at her, the grimly set line of his lips and his ticking zygomaticus demanding an answer.After living through an anxiety-filled weekend, running over several scenarios on how she would tell him and how he would react, the time was finally here. It was inevitable now. She had to tell him the truth, and she was going to. She'd leave it to him to believe her or not.But before the words could come out of her mouth, the dark glint in Luca's eyes shoved them right back into her throat.“He isn't my son then.” He said matter-of-factly, obviously taking her hesitation for a no. He chuckled, and her pulse raced when he spoke. “I mean, how could I have thought for a second that he's mine? Like you wouldn't have told me before.”“Luca...” Skylar said softly, wishing he would just listen to her, but he immedi

Two hours later, Luca was pacing the floor like a caged animal in front of sixteen board of directors who were regarding him with varying degrees of curiosity, impatience, and outright annoyance. The meeting should've began fifteen minutes ago, but Skylar wasn't here yet. Even though one of the men had suggested that they could go on with the meeting and update Skylar later, Luca had insisted that they wait for her. She would be here soon. She had to be.“With all due respect, Mr. Knight,” One of the executives began to say, impatience dripping from his tone. “It doesn't appear like Miss Simpson is going to be here any time soon. She's not even picking up her phone. I believe we should begin the meeting already because...”“We'll wait!” Luca insisted sternly, silencing the man and making a hush fall on the room.Back to pacing, he dialed her number for the seventh time, and like the first six times, it dialed until it went to voicemail, and his head raced with thoughts. Why wasn't she

Taming My Hot Personal Assistant Author's Final Note
Hey guys,This has been a long journey of a little over three months, and I know that reading this story must've been a bit frustrating because of my unscheduled updates where you never know when to expect the next chapter in a day. But y'all stuck with me, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you so much for the patience.There were times I wanted to give up because writing was so stressful but all your comments kept me on my toes, along with all those beautiful gems you gifted me. They're truly appreciated.A few of you might not agree with some directions I decided to take, but I realize I can't satisfy everyone. I do believe in second chances as long as the other person is remorseful and willing to change. And I tried to be as realistic about the whole thing as possible.That being said, this is my first story on here, and I'm not perfect. There's always room for improvement for my future books, so do let me know; Where did I lack? What could I have done better? Were there issues yo
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •139•The End
The first clue read: YES! YES! I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A DAY OLD, SO LOOK FOR THE FIRST TREASURE WHERE THINGS GET COLD.So Skylar did remember. Grinning like an idiot, Luca figured the first one out easily. It was obviously the fridge. But they had two. One in the kitchen and another at the corner of the wall near the dining table. He took a chance on the one near the dining area, and he was right.His first treasure was there, a somewhat rectangular gift wrapped up so that he couldn't see what it was. Attached to it was the second clue.It read: A MAJESTIC THRONE THAT NO ONE WANTS, YET WE ALL HAVE TO RULE OVER EVERY OTHER DAY.His brows drew together. A throne? Since he was standing around the dining table, his eyes went straight to the chairs there first. But the clue said no one wants it, so it definitely couldn't be those chairs. It took him five minutes of running all around the ground floor before he finally figured it out. When he did, he burst out laughing. What the heck? So the t

ONE YEAR LATERLuca was pissed.The day hadn't gone exactly how he'd envisioned it, and he'd been complaining the whole evening. The unfortunate listeners of his lashing out were Caleb and Abhishek.“How could she just forget?” He grouched. “Everyone remembered. My mum, Ella... Heck, even you guys remembered. And she forgets?”“Uh, with all due respect, your highness, your mother gave birth to you. She's the most inclined to remember when it's your birthday.” Abhishek had the very salient idea of mocking him, becoming the recipient of Luca's very unhappy glare.Caleb wasn't fazed though. “Dude, why are you making this a big deal? I'm sure Skylar had stuff on her mind and things to do, and she must've forgotten. Just remind her when you get home. No big deal.”Luca transferred his glare to the other man. “No big deal? It's not like we're 60 or something. We've just been living together for a year! How the hell does she forget my birthday? She didn't have to remind me when it was her bir

Licking her tongue down his neck, Skylar groaned along with him as she stroked his hard-as-granite dick. God, she loved how his dick felt in her hand. So warm and meaty and hard and just so damn good. She found herself salivating, her mouth's wish to get reacquainted with his delicious member.Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees, sliding his pants and boxers down to the middle of her thighs. His erection bounced out, the huge member bumping against her face Grabbing it, she licked him from the base up to the tip, reveling when he let out a sharp sound of pleasure."Fuck, Vanilla." He groaned. "Open that mouth of yours. Just like that."Taking the tip in, she swirled her tongue around it for a bit before taking him further. Just like she remembered, she could only get half of him in without gagging, but almost four years of not doing this didn't mean she'd forgotten how to work within her limits.She had Luca groaning and gasping for air as she bobbed her head up and down, let

Once Alex left, Luca refused to talk about anything having to do with him. He claimed he wasn't upset, but his actions afterwards proved contrary.He drove her to her house so that she could get dressed for work, but he barely said a word to her.Laura was horrified when Skylar told her about what Alex did, but the nanny ended up also concluding that Alex definitely didn't have bad intentions. That only seemed to tick Luca off some more.He drove to the company in brooding silence and didn't even give her a goodbye kiss when he parted to go check out some issues with Brandon Wood, the new branch CEO.Then again, Skylar was definitely not prepared for any PDA that would blow up the secretaries' group chat with gossip. She knew most of the people in the company thought she climbed up too quickly and had always linked it to her having an affair with Hector Lancaster. She didn't want them seeing her with Luca and making all sort of bullshit up to suit that narrative again. Luca didn't say

Alex caught the swaying of Nicole's body before she let go, so he had enough time to react and catch her in his arms."Hey. Nicole? Nicole?" He called out softly, realizing she'd passed out.Lowering her onto the couch, he held her cheek in his hand and tried to shake her gently, but she didn't react in any way.Panic shooting through him, he gathered her into his arms, ready to take her to the hospital. He didn't know what was wrong with her, but he wasn't about to take the chance of waiting for her to wake up first.Getting out of the apartment, he was just heading towards the elevator when she finally stirred in his arms."Nicole, you're awake. Thank God!" He said but he didn't stop the journey to the elevator."Alex, where are you taking me?" Nicole groaned."To the hospital.""I'm conscious now. I don't want to go to the hospital." She said and began squirming in his arms just when they got to the elevator, wordlessly demanding to be placed down.Alex obliged and placed her on her

Chewing on a bowl of popcorn, Nicole sat on her couch, fast-forwarding through scenes of the K-drama she was watching on her TV. There was only so much of the goofy, cute banter she could enjoy before she got tired of the lack of story progression.Just when she got to a scene that looked to be exciting enough, her doorbell rang. Pausing the film, she set her bowl of popcorn aside and went to get the door.Her heart nearly leapt out of her chest when she opened the door to find Alex. Partly because she hadn't expected him and secondly because his face looked like a mess. He had a black eye, other bruises, and stitches marring his face."Hey, Nicole." He flashed her smile and winced like it hurt him to do that."Alex, what happened to you?!" She exclaimed, scanning his face in horror."Uh, I got beat up?" He chuckled a bit, obviously trying to deflect the gravity of the situation with humour."I can see that!" She said, "But who did that to you?""Can I come in first?""Of course, of c

The muffled sounds of a screaming match yanked Skylar out of her deep sleep. Groaning, she snapped her eyes open and tried to focus on the altercation. She couldn't hear much, so she slipped out of bed and approached the door, the voices getting clearer the closer she got."You have some fucking nerve showing your face here, you imbecile!" That was Luca, and he sounded very angry.The sudden sound of screeching couches and painful groans snapped Skylar into action. Realizing she was just in her underwear, she quickly grabbed the dress she remembered wearing yesterday which had been thrown on the bedroom sofa and slipped it on. Opening the door, she rushed out of the bedroom and came to a startled stop at what was going on.Luca was beating the hell out of Alex who was lying helplessly on the couch. His body was vibrating with aggression, and he seemed to be channeling that aggression into every punch. Alex's face already looked like a bloody mess, yet his blows were so heavy that she

Before the tentacles of doubts could bury its roots inside his mind, Luca held himself firm and shook his head, slicing through it until it was completely dead.No, he refused to believe it. He refused to believe that Skylar had done this to him. It just couldn't be.She loved him. Over the weekend, she'd shown him that with so much passion he'd felt it within his soul. There had been nothing like uncertainty about her love.Besides, during their fight regarding his marriage proposal, she'd told him that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him too. She wouldn't have never said anything like that if she didn't mean it.And he believed her. He wasn't going to make the mistake of jumping to conclusions again. He'd been there before, and where had that landed him? In hell, for four fucking years. There was no way he wanted to go back there.There had to be some plausible explanation as to why she was in Alex William's house sleeping in his arms in that state. An explanation that
