~~Edward~~โUncle!โ 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.โLily, what happenedโ I asked bending to face her โNothing, Katherine and I are making cookiesโ she said happily โWhat? You need to take your bath and change princessโ โNo!โ She pouted โI want to see the cookiesโโKatherine will get the cookies to your room โฆ.โ โNo! I want to see it we made it togetherโ she insisted with a determined look on her face. Not knowing what else to say I looked to Katherine.โI need to have a word with your uncle Lily, I promise Iโll call you once itโs readyโKatherine said glaring at me.โPromise?โ Lily asked happily โOf course I promiseโ she responded with a warm smileโOkayโ Lily said before rushing out happily โWhat are you doing?โ I sneered the moment Lily left โWhat am I doing?โ Katherine responded in an angry tone. Does she even

โHeโs such a jerkโ I said, finally stopping my list of Edwards ugly qualities.โMaybe he was just worried about his niece you knowโ she said after a while โDonโt tell me youโre siding with Edward Howard!โ I yelled dramatically โNo Iโm not kath, Iโm just saying anyone in his shoes would worry if a stranger disappeared with their wardโ she shrugged I very much agree with her but that wasnโt enough reason for the harsh judgment heโs been dishing out to me ever since I showed up yesterday morning. โAnd that justifies him accusing me of sexually abusing a six year old?โ I asked her โNo! No of course not Katherine, it doesnโt justify that. Iโm just trying to see reasons why he was worriedโ she explained โCut it out, Karaโ I said. Changing the subject, Iโm not going to fight my best friend because of Edward.โOkay! Why donโt we talk about how the rude little bitch became friends with you thenโ she said changing the topic. But I was in no mood to discuss anything related to the past two

EDWARDโS POV I could hear her little legs run, and her tiny voice screamed โUncleโ as soon as I set foot into the house. โUncle!!โ she squealed and rushed at me โHey there, my little princess; how did your day go?โ โUhmm, 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.โ โAnd since when did you start wanting a nanny? I thought you were grown and did not want anyone looking after your grown self,โ I asked, surprised at the new development โWell, 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?โ โUh, yeah, I could have, but what if you took it the wrong way?โ 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

KATHERINEโS 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 Edwardโs face, and I wondered what was going on in his head as he walked to his car. โWell, are you going to let me in?โAndrew suddenly asked โSo you can try to hit me?โ โThat 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?โโI believe whatever you want to say can be said outside,โ 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. โWould you at least take the flowers?โ he a

EDWARDโS 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. โGood morning, Edward,โ she smiled โIt's Mr. Howard, and you are late.โ โYeah, but it wasn't on purpose; I slept laโฆ.โ โJust 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.โ 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

KATHERINEโS 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 havenโt 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. โI asked if you need something

Chapter 15I didnโt 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 donโt 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. โI see you signed it already?โ Edwardโs 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 doesnโt a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesnโt 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.โThe call is just for safety caution.Itโs probably just fogโ he said in the most calming tone Iโve ever heard from him โHow on earth are you this relaxed?โ I asked him surprised โBecause I know itโs nothing, he canโt see ahead doesnโt mean there's something there or at least enough to crash usโฆโ he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.โAnd even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it.

โGood. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last yearโ he explained โI didnโt go to some fancy college tho, I attended community collegeโ 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 โduhโ look when he wasnโt talking โAre you serious?โ He asked โYes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?โ I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasnโt 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.โFuck!โ He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.โTake me back to LAโ I demanded not wanting to say another word.โWhat do you mean?โ โTake me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd Collegeโ โTha

Being so close to him and feeling his right breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? Itโs 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 couldnโt wait to get a taste.

CHAPTER 18Katherineโs 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 Lilyโs 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. โOh finally!โ She rolled her eyes. What?! โLily, are you okay?โ I asked ignoring her attitude โYes I am, why do you look so worried?โ She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket โWell maybe because youโre banging my door in the middle of the night?โ I answered โItโs technically morning Katherineโ she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? โThatโs not the point young lady, you scared meโ I said joining her anyway โIโm sorry but not sorryโ โWhat does that even mean?โ โWell, I didnโt mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for meโ 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 didnโt surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldnโt 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 โMARRIAGE!โโBecause I already have a fiancรฉeโฆ thatโs her over thereโ 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.โKatherine baby, please come down hereโ he said with a cheeky smile. my ears
