“Aww, I can't believe he's gone. He was like my ideal man.” Alena groaned wistfully. “I'm sure I could've made him fall for me if he stayed here long enough.”“How did you know that?” Skylar asked her secretary as casually as she possibly could.“I heard Brandon and Evans talking. He went back to Rockford and asked Brandon to take over.” Alena replied. “I wish he's just gone on a trip or something but seeing that the headquarters of all of his businesses is in Rockford, I doubt he'll come back any time soon.”“I see." Skylar looked back on her computer when she realized that her secretary was staring at her intently, as if she was trying to guage how much the news bothered her. “Thanks for the coffee, Alena. You can get back to your desk.”She needed Alena to leave before she could see the sudden tears that were burning through her eyes. A stupid urge to cry she had absolutely no business feeling. Luca was gone, so what?He would have left anyway. She had no doubt that in his obstinacy
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •87•An Inexplicable Mess
Hold it in! Do not cry! It's not worth it!Skylar chanted inside her head like a mantra, but it was useless. As soon as she banged her door shut behind her, the sobs she'd been striving so hard to curtail, won the fight. It racked through her with an intensity that shook her, sending her to the floor in a heap of bitterness and pain as she leaned her back against the door.Not wanting Luca to hear her, she covered her mouth to keep the wretched sounds in. But as soon as she heard the sound of retreating footsteps, the cries burst out of her without any restraint.She didn't even know what she was crying for. She'd finally had the luxury of seeing Luca beg for her forgiveness. She should be content instead of turning into this mess of emotions.She cried until it felt like she had no tears left, and only then did she get up to gather her son up and take him into his cot. After that, she returned to the living room and picked up her phone, dialing Ella's number.She instantly regretted

Skylar's self-induced enthusiasm for work dampened rather quickly as soon as she went into the kitchen at the office to get herself a jolt of caffeine to begin her day. The coffee-maker wasn't working and wouldn't budge no matter the machinations she tried on it.While she was still trying to work impossible magic, the door creaked open behind her. She turned, expecting it to be one of the executive secretaries whom she could ask for help from, but it wasn't any of the secretaries. It was Luca.She had to force down the lump rising up her throat. He looked dashing in a grey two-piece suit, his head neatly combed. He'd cleaned up well today, so unlike the unruly appearance he'd had yesternight.The thought of the previous evening accompanied a surge of bitterness that immediately made her put on her mask of nonchalance. “Oh, it's just you.”“You sound disappointed to see me.” He said, and she nearly rolled her eyes. Like duh.“What are you doing here?” “To get coffee, of course.” He st

Unlike the previous day when Alex called to cancel their date, Skylar had no such luck today. Though he couldn't make it to lunch, he promised to come to her house in the evening with take out to spend some time with her and Austin.With no choice, she wove her mask as meticulously as she possibly could and prepared for her home-date with him.She didn't see Luca for the rest of the day, and that made the rest of the day easier to get through.Alex arrived at her house at seven as promised, bringing some Chinese takeout along with him. He looked dashing in a well-worn denim jacket thrown over a white T-shirt paired with an equally worn pair of jeans and adidas sneakers.Obviously pulled by the aroma sizzling through the air, Austin immediately crawled towards the food which Alex initially set on the wooden centrepiece in the living room.He whined when Skylar kept him away from it, not sure if she should be giving him chicken at his age. Though she'd long introduced him to solid food,

"You're here." A smile lit up Skylar's face as soon as she opened the door to find Alex, and warmth spread inside his chest.She looked gorgeous in a striped bodycon dress that enhanced her well endowed curves with a neckline that left a lot for the imagination, and yet made her incredibly sexy.Stepping forward, Alex placed his hand at her waist and sealed her lips with his. Their kisses had been getting more and more intense and so he swiped his tongue on her lips, and his heart rejoiced when she opened up to him, allowing him to explore her mouth.When he finally broke the kiss, he placed his forehead against hers as they both tried to catch their breaths."Let's go." Skylar finally said with a smile, stepping back so they could step inside together."Alec!" Austin squealed immediately he saw Alex and began bouncing excitedly on his butt.That reaction never ceased to fill his chest with a feeling he could barely explain."Hey, champ!" Alex gushed, hoisting the little boy by the arm
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •91•First Fight
How was this even possible? Skylar thought, irritated with herself more than anyone else. How could she be in one man's arms, feel the evidence of his need for her poking against her body, and still be so aware of another man's gaze.The awareness was like electricity buzzing low through her veins, and somehow, she'd felt Luca's presence even before she saw him.Sitting at the bar with his body resting lazily against the counter, he looked ruggedly gorgeous. His pitch black hair strewn about his head haphazardly was emphasized by the disco lights bouncing around the room, and the shirt he wore underneath his blazer looked to be in shambles.There was a woman sitting on the stool to his left. Skylar couldn't identify the colour of her hair due to the different coloured lights around, but she was gorgeous and undoubtedly so, and she looked to be trying her best to win Luca's attention.Luca's lips moved every once in a while, indicating that he was responding, but his eyes remained glued

“Oh, you guys are back!” Laura exclaimed the moment Skylar stepped inside the house, looking up from the book she had in her hand. “Hope you guys had a great time?”The nanny squinted slightly as she looked behind Skylar, frowning afterwards. “Where's Alexis?”“He's gone.” Skylar answered, locking the door behind her before stepping into the living room.“Oh.” Laura pursed her lips in disappointment. “He didn't come to say goodbye to me. He must've been in a hurry.” Knowing very well that the truth was far from the woman's assumption, Skylar merely grunted and sank into one of the other two couches.“Okay, I don't like that face. Did something happen?”Knowing the woman wasn't going to stop until she had an answer, Skylar sighed. “We had a fight.”Laura gasped almost dramatically, her eyes widening. “A fight? Dear Lord, what happened?”“I'd rather not talk about it, Laura.” Skylar said, hoping the woman wouldn't take it the wrong way..“Of course. It's okay if you can't talk to me abo
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •93•Only About Herself
Skylar could've sworn that she'd experienced every emotion when it came to Luca, that he couldn't make her feel any more than she already felt. But this moment was more than proving her.As she watched the pain in his tear-stained eyes and heard it reverberate through his beseeching words, it was as if she was the one feeling it, her heart squeezing so hard and painfully that it stole her breath.He rested his cheek back on her belly, his arms still clinging to her waist. Just like his son did every time he wanted some attention and affection from her or anything time he hurt himself and needed some comfort.And Skylar couldn't take it anymore. Her defences couldn't take it anymore. Her walls could no longer stand the impact of his disarming relentlessness.“Luca..." She whispered as hot tears surged down her cheeks, her voice cracking under the full weight pressing on her chest. “I love you too, Luca. You don't know how torturous it is to not be with you. But you hurt me too much. And

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
