“Was that my uncle?” Lily asked the moment I dropped the call, I nodded.

“Ohhh, he must have heard. Is he mad” she asked

“Sure he is, but you don’t have to worry” I assured her with a smile

Only if I could tell her that anger is better that the state of mind her uncle is. Has he always been like this? Why would he think of the dumbest thing? Feeding a six year old alcohol? Sexualizing her? Did he really think of me as a pedophile?

The more I thought of it, the more anger I felt

pumping up my chest, his accusations was not just disgusting but worse than any I’ve been subjected to before. My mom and her good for nothing boyfriend, the perverts at the club and the disgusting old fools that has insulted me whenever they couldn’t get what they wanted, all there harsh words and accusa was directly on me.

    ~~Edward~~“Uncle!” Lily screeched, running towards me. Her clothes are almost drenched, stained plus her hair and face covered in white patches. What the hell is going on here. What is this woman doing to my niece.“Lily, what happened” I asked bending to face her “Nothing, Katherine and I are making cookies” she said happily “What? You need to take your bath and change princess” “No!” She pouted “I want to see the cookies”“Katherine will get the cookies to your room 
.” “No! I want to see it we made it together” she insisted with a determined look on her face. Not knowing what else to say I looked to Katherine.“I need to have a word with your uncle Lily, I promise I’ll call you once it’s ready”Katherine said glaring at me.“Promise?” Lily asked happily “Of course I promise” she responded with a warm smile“Okay” Lily said before rushing out happily “What are you doing?” I sneered the moment Lily left “What am I doing?” Katherine responded in an angry tone.

    “He’s such a jerk” I said, finally stopping my list of Edwards ugly qualities.“Maybe he was just worried about his niece you know” she said after a while “Don’t tell me you’re siding with Edward Howard!” I yelled dramatically “No I’m not kath, I’m just saying anyone in his shoes would worry if a stranger disappeared with their ward” she shrugged I very much agree with her but that wasn’t enough reason for the harsh judgment he’s been dishing out to me ever since I showed up yesterday morning. “And that justifies him accusing me of sexually abusing a six year old?” I asked her “No! No of course not Katherine, it doesn’t justify that. I’m just trying to see reasons why he was worried” she explained “Cut it out, Kara” I said. Changing the subject, I’m not going to fight my best friend because of Edward.“Okay! Why don’t we talk about how the rude little bitch became friends with you then” she said changing the topic. But I was in no mood to discuss anything related to the past two

    EDWARD’S POV I could hear her little legs run, and her tiny voice screamed “Uncle” as soon as I set foot into the house. “Uncle!!” she squealed and rushed at me “Hey there, my little princess; how did your day go?” “Uhmm, boring; I did my homework, ate , and played games on my iPad, but I got bored; I had no one to play with or a nanny in my company.” “And since when did you start wanting a nanny? I thought you were grown and did not want anyone looking after your grown self,” I asked, surprised at the new development “Well, I am grown; my Miss Kathrine explained to me that you don't think of me as a child; you are only looking out for me because you care about me so much; you know you could have just explained it to me?” “Uh, yeah, I could have, but what if you took it the wrong way?” I was glad that at least Katherine was able to convince her that the only reason I was hell-bent on a nanny for her was to make sure she was fine; now I didn't have to deal with the nanny

    KATHERINE’S POV My day had been filled with unexpected happenings but Andrew showing up at my door is by far the craziest, especially with flowers. I saw the look on Edward’s face, and I wondered what was going on in his head as he walked to his car. “Well, are you going to let me in?”Andrew suddenly asked “So you can try to hit me?” “That was a one time thing, Kath. I was going through a rough phase, and you broke up with me; it was like my whole world was crumbling, but I promise I'm past that now, please can I come in?”“I believe whatever you want to say can be said outside,” I responded harshly. Andrew had been truly nice to me in the past and that made me feel guilty for being this hard on him . But I was alone in the house, and if it happened like in the movies and he hit me, no one would be around to rush me to the hospital, and it would take even longer before anyone realized I was missing and by anyone I meant just Kara. “Would you at least take the flowers?” he a

    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

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

    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

    “Good. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last year” he explained “I didn’t go to some fancy college tho, I attended community college” 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 ‘duh‘ look when he wasn’t talking “Are you serious?” He asked “Yes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?” I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasn’t 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.“Fuck!” He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.“Take me back to LA” I demanded not wanting to say another word.“What do you mean?” “Take me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd College” “Tha

    CHAPTER 18Katherine’s 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 Lily’s 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. “Oh finally!” She rolled her eyes. What?! “Lily, are you okay?” I asked ignoring her attitude “Yes I am, why do you look so worried?” She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket “Well maybe because you’re banging my door in the middle of the night?” I answered “It’s technically morning Katherine” she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? “That’s not the point young lady, you scared me” I said joining her anyway “I’m sorry but not sorry” “What does that even mean?” “Well, I didn’t mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for me” 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 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
