EDWARD’S POV

She was running late on her first day, and I was already fuming with anger. Was it the fact that I had to wait for her to resume before leaving for work? Definitely not; as a matter of fact, I didn't have to wait at all because Lily was already in school, and I could have left if I wanted to. I wanted to ask her about the young man with flowers from yesterday, I needed to be sure her sick brother was her only distraction in looking after Lily.

Thirty minutes later, she was walking through my door while struggling with her bag as she entered hurriedly.

“Good morning, Edward,” she smiled

“It's Mr. Howard, and you are late.”

“Yeah, but it wasn't on purpose; I slept la
.”

“Just spare me the details. Lily has left for school, so take your time and get acquitted with the other staff; I wouldn't want you making silly mistakes.”

A nod was all I got from her. I picked up my suitcase and headed to my car. Was I too hard on her? Well, if I was, she had it coming; she

    KATHERINE’S POVI slammed the door to my room and lay flat on the bed. One part felt like I should have answered him. I still feel annoyed about his switch of attitude this morning. Who the hell begs someone to take a job, give cold shoulders when the assume the job and turn around to ask about their personal life? Who does he think he is?Calling Kara might have helped, but who knows what crazy position she might be in with Carlos this time. My stomach let out a sound, a reminder that I haven’t had a proper meal since I got here. I immediately made my way to the kitchen to fix something for myself, but I was caught off guard. There he was, standing as if he had walked right off a billboard, wearing a sleeveless black top and briefs, his firm hands were evidence of years of gyming, and I could see his dick through those damned briefs. He rolled his tattooed fingers on the glass he was holding, somehow I picked that it was a habit for him to do that. “I asked if you need something

    Chapter 15I didn’t know how to approach Edward after this morning encounter, truth is I had no plans of getting into a relationship after Andrew. Maybe a few stringless sex here and there. But the fact that he felt it was in his power to dictate for me was the annoying part. I signed the contract after going through each page at least thrice but found no other unacceptable condition. In fact he was way too generous with his terms, aside the boyfriend part of course.I had three hours every week day and Sundays to visit my brother, weekly allowances for living in and extra allowances for upkeep. Since I don’t visit my brother everyday, I had a lot of time to go about my daily business as I pleased. I wanted to go hand him the signed document but decided against it, giving it to the butler instead. Then went to get ready to visit Kara, today is her off and hopefully she would not be on top of a dick when I get there. “I see you signed it already?” Edward’s voice came out of nowhe

 “Edward!” Arnold’s voice broke my thoughts even before they started.“Are you okay? I’ve been knocking” he said with a worried look “Arnold, tell me we have a solid plan?” I said instead.“The PR team is already tracking and deleting the tags and comments” he answered “Well that’s such a relief” I sighed “But
 we have a problem”“What could be worse?”“Your Dad is here.”“What?” I sprang up “Mr Howard just arrived downstairs, I came as soon as I saw him in the reception”“Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. “He’s obviously here because of this news” “We should go and welcome him,” Arnold suggested but the door busted open almost immediately. “There will be no need for that.” my Dad sai

    Chapter 17The tension in the air was already suffocating, I kept wondering why a man he just acknowledged as dad would be so cold towards him. The coldness and judgment in his eyes as he seized me up didn’t surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldn’t be the first person to assume I was a whore at first glance especially at the club house, I always found it amusing how being poor was enough reason to be seen in that light. The thought of leaving to my room to give them some privacy crossed my mind but that would only make the grumpy man feel he was right or worsen the whole issue so instead I sat quietly looking everywhere but at them until ‘MARRIAGE!’“Because I already have a fiancĂ©e
 that’s her over there” My head moved at an unhealthy speed towards the Howards only to realize that Edward was pointing in my direction. I looked behind me for a second wondering if there was an invisible person there.“Katherine baby, please come down here” he said with a cheeky smile. my ears

    “Can I kiss you?” My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldn’t step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? It’s so working! Comfortably getting lost in his icy blue eyes, I let him come close. From such proximity all I could say is that God definitely cheated because how could one man be this perfect? His perfect looking lips were seconds away from mine and I couldn’t wait to get a taste. Just like the night I first met him. I could literally feel his lips touching mine when the door suddenly bursts open, fuck!! I wished I could scream at the cockblock, a girl I remember meeting on my first day here, Ama or whatever she said her name was. “Sorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to work” she said almost immediately “It’s okay Ameera, get to work now ” Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to the

    I immediately strapped in my seatbelt as instructed and looked up at Edward. I guess I was expecting some sort of motivational or reassuring speech, but doesn’t a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesn’t have one.My luck had to be this bad? First time on a private jet and it was going to crash? Edward was indifferent though, he just there across me staring me with a questioning look.I already gave up any hope of getting any word from him until he spoke calmly.“The call is just for safety caution.It’s probably just fog” he said in the most calming tone I’ve ever heard from him “How on earth are you this relaxed?” I asked him surprised “Because I know it’s nothing, he can’t see ahead doesn’t mean there's something there or at least enough to crash us
” he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.“And even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. He’s
