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 doesnât a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesnât 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.âThe call is just for safety caution.Itâs probably just fogâ he said in the most calming tone Iâve ever heard from him âHow on earth are you this relaxed?â I asked him surprised âBecause I know itâs nothing, he canât see ahead doesnât mean there's something there or at least enough to crash usâŠâ he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.âAnd even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. Heâs
Katherine pov For me, the sexiest spot a tattoo can be found is on a manâs rib and of course his fingers. Iâve heard a number of time how painful getting one on those spots can be, maybe thatâs why I find it sexy. But is that why I canât tear my eyes off this hot dude across this counter as well?And what could be hotter than the way he was rolling his drink within his tattooed fingers. The only thing on my mind right now are sinful pictures of how I wished to be banged by this man. But I canât, mainly because heâs with someone and because my shift ends in four hours. He would have been gone by then for sure.âHi, a drink please?â A young voice interrupted my thoughts. I tore my eyes off the man immediately to see a sixteen year old looking kid in front me.â you shouldnât be here sweet boyâ I said with a smile.âIâm legalâ he said almost anxious which made his lie obvious, I see young kids try to get drinks several times so I know how well to handle them.âID please?â I said and he
âUrghh!â I grumbled out of frustration as I watch the tattooed stranger drive out of my street. The jerk made me beg him for sex only to turn me down, apparently he had a child to take care of and couldnât stay but still didnât make any attempt to ask for my number or even give his, such a jerk.I hissed and headed inside my tiny apartment, the emptiness welcomed me once again. Itâs always been just me ever since Henry got hospitalized, we lived together after my graduation.Walking straight to the bathroom, I began humming cheap thrills by sia, nothing sounded better than hard clubbing and some good dick at the moment.My dirty mind was filled with images that how hard I wanted to grabbed by this tattooed stranger. Wake up Katherine!!!! I screamed at myself internally How can I be fantasing about a man I didnât even know his name?!!!I had an apple and made my way to bed, sleeping is my favorite thing to do for the record, only if I could get paid for it.>>>âWhat are you doing?!
Katherineâs pov I stired with closed eyes trying to adjust to the rays of sunlight coming in through my crampy window.The bed was oddly cold, the usual feeling of emptiness filled my stomach once again. The tattooed man had drove me to get a cab home before driving off tĂł whatever business he was called for.I havenât had a real sex in seventeen months and last night felt like I was actually gonna get laid and that happened so I ended up masturbating with my little toy. I went straight to the bathroom to wash off my body.The thoughts of the ordeal didnât let me be, I think Iâm going crazy because tell me why my hot dog was looking like a dick and made me moaned and wet over breakfast. No doubt about it now, Iâm utterly fucked.My phone started ringing from my handbag from yesterday. I shuffled my hand blindly looking for it and when I did I was suprised to see my bossâs name flashing on the screen. Why is he calling so early in the morning on my free day? I wondered.âGood morning
Edwardâs povIt took everything in me not to ignore Aidenâs call to grab the most perfect tits Iâve come across and suck them hard before releasing my sexual frustration in uhhhâŠ. I sighed realizing I didnât even know her name.No woman has ever got my body as hard as she has in years and I wanted nothing more than to bury myself deep in her.Work sure called at the wrong time but work comes first always. Some troubles needs fixing and that took the whole night again. Good thing thereâs someone to look afterâŠâUncle!â My little niece ran towards me as soon as I got inside, I carried her up and noticed she was looking so happy.âThe smile is big Lily.â I pointed out and she nodded, she looked around before placing her tiny hand beside my ears,âThe nanny is leavingâ she wisperedâWhat? But why?â I asked herâI donât knowâ she shrugged avoiding my eyesâLily?â I calledâUncle!â She called backâThis is your fifth nanny in two weeks, what did you do this time?â Asked with a cocked eyebro
âI have to be in London in less than eight hoursâ he said âLondon? Thatâs a nine hour flightâ i said suprised âExactly, so I need you to babysit her for just three daysâ he pleaded âOkay, I willâŠ. Youâd pay in the advance right?â I asked to be sure he wasnât lying.âYes, you will get the money right away, I just need you to make sure sheâs okay for the three days Iâll be awayââSure!â I said happily.Finally I will be able to pay for my brotherâs bills and shut Gloria up back home, what more could I ask for. I smiled happily as I followed him back inside the building, he asked me to wait in the living room while he went upstairs.He came back after a minute with the little girl from earlier. âSo Katherine, this is my niece Lilyâ he said pointing to the little girl behind him. I flashed her a smile and she returned it with a fake one. Wow! She doesnât like me.âLily, this is Katherine, sheâll be taking care of you till Iâm backââHi baby girlâ I said with a smileâMy name is Lily
âYou gotta be chill Katherine,sheâs just a little girl after allâ Kara said after laughing at meâKara you donât get it, her attitude doesnât come close to that of a little girlâ I almost screamed into the phoneâWhatever girl, you got thisââPhewww! Iâm not so sure, I don't even know how to handle herââYou sure got it KatherineââSo how do you wanna get the money to your brother?â Kara askedâIâm not sure, but I really have to cash the check at the bank first but Iâm not sure how I can do that with this jobââI wish I could help somehowââI will talk to you later Kara, I think her majestyâs pizza just arrived.I was right, the pizza had just been delivered and now I have to get her to eat, Hugh!! God did she have to be this rude? Canât she just be a cute, shy little girl? I held the pizza in one hand and knocked on her door and thankfully she responded.âWho is it?â âItâs Katherine, your pizza is hereââAlright âAlright????????? What was that supposed to mean? I wasnât expecting
My decision to leave Lily in the care of that woman wasnât easy but I knew I had to. I had no option. I I couldnât bring her with me to London on such a short notice. âEdward!â Lucas Dumas, a rich arrogant business minded son of a bitch. He has always been a major investor at Howard empire since the time of my father. I wonder why he wants to pull out now. This is definitely not a good time to lose any cash, not now that my father seemed to have increased pressure on me. âMr Dumas, good eveningâ I greeted stretching my hand towards himâYouâre lateâ he said âI flew as soon as I couldâ I responded not wanting him to keep pestering me about being late. Itâs just thirty minutes.âConsidering you had to come from New York, I will let it go this one timeâ he said, raising a glass of wine.âThat is nice of you Mr Dumasâ I responded, taking a sip of the wine in front of me.âSo how is business Edwardâ he asked, with a sly smile. âYou said to discuss your reasons for wanting to pull out i

âGood. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last yearâ he explained âI didnât go to some fancy college tho, I attended community collegeâ Edward was beyond shocked , he stared at me like he was waiting for me to say it was a joke.I just gave him a âduhâ look when he wasnât talking âAre you serious?â He asked âYes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?â I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasnât easy to get my associate degree, I struggled to get across and graduate, took several loans despite the low tuition. I was still in on student loan and one dick head just sat there looking horrified just because he was born into a silver spoon.âFuck!â He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.âTake me back to LAâ I demanded not wanting to say another word.âWhat do you mean?â âTake me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd Collegeâ âTha
âCan I kiss you?â My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldnât step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his right breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? Itâs was 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 couldnât 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.âSorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to workâ she said almost immediately âItâs okay Ameera, get to work now â Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to th

CHAPTER 18Katherineâs pov A knock at my door woke me up but I was too tired to even raise a finger so I lay still but the knock persisted, followed by Lilyâs tiny voice calling out to me. I checked the bedside clock and it was 4:45, what could be the problem? Why is Lily up at this hour? I rushed to open the door immediately. âOh finally!â She rolled her eyes. What?! âLily, are you okay?â I asked ignoring her attitude âYes I am, why do you look so worried?â She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket âWell maybe because youâre banging my door in the middle of the night?â I answered âItâs technically morning Katherineâ she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? âThatâs not the point young lady, you scared meâ I said joining her anyway âIâm sorry but not sorryâ âWhat does that even mean?â âWell, I didnât mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for meâ she explain
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 didnât surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldnât 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 âMARRIAGE!ââBecause I already have a fiancĂ©e⊠thatâs her over thereâ 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.âKatherine baby, please come down hereâ he said with a cheeky smile. my ears
Edwardâs Pov,As expected, the paparazzi were crowded outside in minutes, news companies as well kept calling requesting for interviews. Fuck! My father finally found something to tear me apart for.My mind drifted to years back when my face and name was all over the media for killing my brother⊠âEdward!â Arnoldâs voice broke my thoughts even before they started.âAre you okay? Iâve been knockingâ he said with a worried look âArnold, tell me we have a solid plan?â I said instead.âThe PR team is already tracking and deleting the tags and commentsâ he answered âWell thatâs such a reliefâ I sighed âBut⊠we have a problemââWhat could be worse?ââYour Dad is here.ââWhat?â I sprang up âMr Howard just arrived downstairs, I came as soon as I saw him in the receptionââFuck!â I cursed under my breath. âHeâs obviously here because of this newsâ âWe should go and welcome him,â Arnold suggested but the door busted open almost immediately. âThere will be no need for that.â my Dad sai
Chapter 15I didnât 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 donât 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. âI see you signed it already?â Edwardâs voice came out of nowhe
KATHERINEâS 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 havenât 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. âI asked if you need something
