Edwardâs pov
It 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 eyebrowâNothing!â She said poutingI placed down and called for the nanny, she came out and indeed she was with her things.âWhere are you going nanny?â I asked calmly knowing that my little she-devil had done some trick to make her leave on her own.âI really have to leave my Howard, itâs an emergencyâ that is what they all sayâYou really canât stay?â I askedâI canât sir, Iâm really sorryâ she said looking downI looked to Lilyâs direction and she threw her face to the celling. Sighing tiredly,I called her.âLily. Tell the butler to get your nannyâs payâ I instructedâNo sir you donât have to pay me, Iâve only worked for three daysâ the poor woman saidâDonât worry about it maâamâ I told herLily got the pay and the woman left, she was about to sneak out when i caught her by the waist and sat her on the dining table.âNow tell me young lady, what did you do?â I asked feigning a stern lookâIt was really her decision to leave, I only told her she had like my momâs hair and I always feel emotionally hurt looking at her faceâ she said nonchalantlyâJesus Lily! Your mom is a blonde.â I almost yelledâWell she believed it, didnât she?â She smiled mischievouslyâYou didnât tell her your mother is late did you?â I question looking into her eyesâWould she have felt so bad?â She stated nonchalantlyI couldnât help the smile looking at her smart head.âYou know itâs really wrong to say sheâs dead when sheâs not right?â I tried talking to herâWell she isnât here right? Itâs makes no differenceâ she said sadlyâyou little rascal! Come hereâ I said pulling her in a tight hug.I took Lily in after the death of my brother three years ago, his wife left after a month of his death, she said she couldnât become a single mother at such a young age. She left Lily with us and moved to London. I loved Lily like my very own since her birth and it took me nothing to now assume the position of a father in her life.Lily turned seven a month ago and has rejected every nanny since then, in her words, she is old enough to look after herself and do not need any any adult involved in any areas of her life. She wanted to be like me that isnât babysitted all the time. So she finds tricks to make her nannies leave. I canât be with her all the time so I kept on hiring Nannies hoping she would accept one and stopped being stubborn but thereâs not been any success with that.âUncle you smell odd and your hair is almost like a bird nestâ Lily suddenly said while trying her best not burst out with laughter.âI will go take my bath nowâ I told her and rushed upstairs to wash this sexy stranger off me. My phone rang halfway the stairs,âHi Anoldâ I said into the phoneâEdward, where have you been?youâre needed here right nowâ he saidâIt canât wait?â I askedâNot sure, why?â He questionedâBecause Lily sent her nanny away this morningâ I saidâBoss baby at it againâ he chuckledâWell the GLK clients wants outâ he said sadlyâWhat? Why?â I askedâNo clue, you need to be here as soon as possible, you can bring Lily, I will look after herâ he saidâokay man, help me find another babysitter pleaseâ I said ending the callâLily? Get ready, weâre going to the office togetherâ I yelled out for her to hear.âYayyyy!!â I head her shout out with excitement.~~~~The meeting with the clients didnât go well, they claim not to know the reason their boss wanted to pull out of their contract with us so I made a call directly to the man and he insisted on fixing a one on one meeting. I need to fly to London by tomorrow evening. This contract is worth billions and I canât let the company suffer such loss. Traveling to London isnât the issue but what Iâm going to do with Lily.>>>The next day<<<Fortunately, Anold found someone from his girlfriendâs co-worker and I have to meet her today. I already pleaded with Lilly to behave until I return from London and thankfully she agreed.âSheâs hereâ the maid came to inform me of the nannyâs arrivalâLet her in pleaseâ I told herâYou know this is unnecessary right?â Lily asked for the nth timeâyou need someone to look after you Lilyâ I respondedâI donât, I could go to your office while youâre gone and help you workâ she reasoned making me laughâGood afternoon Mr HowarâŠ.â The voice slurred making me look up.My eyes grew wide as I stare at the woman who gave me one of the best sex of my life.âAre you the babysitter?â I asked surprisedâYesâ she hesitated before answeringNow why is a woman like her coming to babysit a child?âLily, go to your room so I can talk to our guestâ I said with a fake smileâOkay uncleâ she said and made her way upstairs. I waited until she was gone before talking to the lady in front of me.âWhy are you here?â I asked angrilyâTrust me, I had no idea this was your house or you were the one needing a nannyâ she said honestlyâItâs doesnât matter whoâs child, why are you offering to look after a child?â I asked harshly. The hurt in her eyes at the realization of what I meant pinched my heart but I was right.âYou have no right to judge me Mr Howardâ she said blinkingâIâm not judging you âŠ.â I said realizing that I didnât even know her name.âWhatâs your name?â I askedâKatherineâ she saidâIâm Edward Howardâ I said forwarding my hand for a handshakeâDonât you think Iâm not worthy of your handshake?â She asked sarcastically.âIâm sorry Katherine, but I canât let my little niece be babysitted by someone that works in a club and âŠâ i said feeling bad for hurting herâPlease, I really need this job Mr Howardâ she pleaded but I couldnât bring myself to associate Lily with a woman that fucks around like that. Call it judging but I have to be responsible for my niece.âFine! If you choose to judge me then feel free, youâre the reason I lost my job in the first placeâ she said almost in tearsâIâm sorry about that Katherine and Iâm willing to pay you for the troubles with your job but not this job pleaseâ I reasoned with her but she instead glared hard at me.â I donât want your money asshole!â She said and walked out.âKathâŠâ I tried calling out to her but the ringing of my cell phone cut me offâYes Anold?â I answeredâYou donât plan on getting the clients more angry rightâ he askedâWhat are you talking about?â I askedâIf you leave now, you will be five minutes late to the meetingâ he saidFuck I lost track of time.I dropped the phone without bothering to hang up the call. I ran outside in search of Katherine.âWhereâs the woman that was just here?â I asked my gatekeeperâShe left already sirâ he responded. I dashed out of the gate and saw her walking away.âKatherine!â I called getting her attentionâWhat is it?â She asked harshlyâ I need you to babysit her for a few days â I saidâHuh? You want a whore to babysit your niece?â She asked hurt evident in her voiceâI didnât call you thatâ I defended , and grabbed her armâOh please, just let me goâ she saidâThree days! Just look after her for three days and I will pay you five hundred dollarsâ I offered hoping she would agree, I need to be on way immediately and I canât let Lily stay on her own, she might decide to try cooking to prove she is big enough and end up hurting herself.âFine, but on one condition, you will have to pay me a hundred and fifty first. I need to pay for my brotherâs treatmentâ she said in a sad toneâI will pay you in full but you need to start nowâ i saidâNow?â She asked with wide eyesâI have to be in London In less than 8 hoursââI 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
âWas that my uncle?â Lily asked the moment I dropped the call, I nodded. âOhhh, he must have heard. Is he madâ she asked âSure he is, but you donât have to worryâ 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 Iâve 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 couldnât get what they wanted, all there harsh words and accusa was directly on me. Words like prostitute, whore, slut, twart, had always been said to me, but this was different, Edward had accused me of sexualalizing a child. All because I worked in a club or
~~Edward~~âUncle!â 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.âLily, what happenedâ I asked bending to face her âNothing, Katherine and I are making cookiesâ she said happily âWhat? You need to take your bath and change princessâ âNo!â She pouted âI want to see the cookiesââKatherine will get the cookies to your room âŠ.â âNo! I want to see it we made it togetherâ she insisted with a determined look on her face. Not knowing what else to say I looked to Katherine.âI need to have a word with your uncle Lily, I promise Iâll call you once itâs readyâKatherine said glaring at me.âPromise?â Lily asked happily âOf course I promiseâ she responded with a warm smileâOkayâ Lily said before rushing out happily âWhat are you doing?â I sneered the moment Lily left âWhat am I doing?â Katherine responded in an angry tone. Does she even
âHeâs such a jerkâ I said, finally stopping my list of Edwards ugly qualities.âMaybe he was just worried about his niece you knowâ she said after a while âDonât tell me youâre siding with Edward Howard!â I yelled dramatically âNo Iâm not kath, Iâm just saying anyone in his shoes would worry if a stranger disappeared with their wardâ she shrugged I very much agree with her but that wasnât enough reason for the harsh judgment heâs been dishing out to me ever since I showed up yesterday morning. âAnd that justifies him accusing me of sexually abusing a six year old?â I asked her âNo! No of course not Katherine, it doesnât justify that. Iâm just trying to see reasons why he was worriedâ she explained âCut it out, Karaâ I said. Changing the subject, Iâm not going to fight my best friend because of Edward.âOkay! Why donât we talk about how the rude little bitch became friends with you thenâ she said changing the topic. But I was in no mood to discuss anything related to the past two
EDWARDâS POV I could hear her little legs run, and her tiny voice screamed âUncleâ as soon as I set foot into the house. âUncle!!â she squealed and rushed at me âHey there, my little princess; how did your day go?â âUhmm, 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.â âAnd since when did you start wanting a nanny? I thought you were grown and did not want anyone looking after your grown self,â I asked, surprised at the new development âWell, 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?â âUh, yeah, I could have, but what if you took it the wrong way?â 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
KATHERINEâS 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 Edwardâs face, and I wondered what was going on in his head as he walked to his car. âWell, are you going to let me in?âAndrew suddenly asked âSo you can try to hit me?â âThat 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?ââI believe whatever you want to say can be said outside,â 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. âWould you at least take the flowers?â he a
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
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
