Antonio's POV

I stare coldly at Amelia as she stands with arms akimbo and an angry expression on her face.

What the hell is wrong with everyone that they seems smitten with that barbaric girl called Harley?

I wonder when Amelia will get it into her fucking head that I am not attracted to her nor am I attracted to any girl.

"Those girls are here to seduce you, Anton", she cries out with a painful expression.

I shake my head, biting my lips to stop myself from shouting at her. I would never stoop so low to get into an affair with my employee. I have self-control and I can't even remember the last time I thought of sex.

"Don't you get it?" Her hard gaze softens as I continue to watch her in silence with my back to the swivel chair.

That is impossible!Antonio hates me, we can't stay under the same roof.I gawk at her in disbelief, wondering why she is bringing this suggestion knowing full well what her son thinks of me. He hates me. But the feeling is mutual. It's just so sad that his mother and daughter are the total opposite of him, they are accommodating and sweet."That way, you won't have to rush out every morning just to come here. Also, I will be traveling tomorrow morning and I want you to be available to take care of Alexis even at night. She dislikes Ann so much and she doesn't want her to bathe her. I can't remember the numbers of quarrels I had to settle between them", she laughs. "Alexis behaves like an adult.""Your son doesn't like me", I remind her. This is the major problem.

She glances around looking for me until she spots me beside the window.There is a frown on my face as she approaches. I am pissed that she kept me waiting for an hour after telling me to come and wait for her here at the coffee shop which is close to the company where she works. She is dressed in a brown pencil skirt, a white blouse, and black stiletto heels."I'm so sorry I kept you waiting", she flashes me an apologetic smile before sitting in front of me."Your office is just a few distances away from here, what kept you so long?" My frown deepens."I'm sorry", she places her hand on mine on the table.I lean backward and fold my arms around my bosom. She flashes me a grin, drops her bag on the table, and leans back too. "So what's up?"After leaving work, I called Chelsea to tell her that we needed to meet. I w

I came back late last night because I went over to Brandon's house. We spoke about Xavier till it was late and I left. I guess the alcohol I took in his house is also the reason for my banging headache.Heaving a deep sigh, I sit upright and grab my phone, holding my head in one hand.My head aches a lot.I need to take a hot bath, maybe I will be relieved a bit. Besides, I need to go to work already.I sit up and walk slowly to the bathroom door, wishing I can just stay here for today without going to work.

All I need to do is make sure I do my very best so his mother can pay me as promised.I don't care whether he let me do my job or not, I will do what I can and leave the rest. But about making sure that he is fine whenever he needs his inhaler, I will do that wholeheartedly, not because of the money but because of Alexis, his mother, and for humanity.I will no longer go ahead with my plan to deal with him for suffering me and refusing to give me a job when I deserved it. He deserves whatever punishment I accord to him but I won't do that.Whatever good I do to him is because of his mother and this pretty daughter of his, watching me and shifting her gaze to her father at intervals.I want to shape her to become a

What it takes to be alone without a mother or a father. Alexis has no mother but she has a father.I had nothing since I was little.

I haven't spent a week here but I am already having issues with Antonio whom I will be sharing a house.If only he can just ignore me like I am not in his house so I can be on my lane and we don't have to bicker words at each other all the time, it would have been much easier for me.

This time, I hope Antonio and I will have a quiet time to discuss and talk into the night before coming back home.I don't know why he is super excited about it too but I guess it is because this is going to be our first date alone.

Just this morning, he brought the dress on his way to work, reminding me about the date.It made me smile. And proud. Happy. Lucky.
