A knock on the door woke me from my sleep.
"Why is someone knocking this early in the morning," I thought, and then I remembered Tiara was supposed to come over early so I could go to the interview.
I looked at the clock on my end table and saw it was 7:30 AM.
"Shit," I said and hurried to the front door.
"It's about time! I have been knocking for about twenty minutes," She said as she walked in.
"Sorry! I overslept. I have to get ready for the interview."
"Yeah! Hurry. They start in less than thirty minutes," She said, and I rushed to the bathroom.
I jumped in the shower and washed quickly. I put my clothes on, brushed my long, black hair into a ponytail, and brushed my teeth. I put lotion on my light brown skin so I wouldn't be ashy and walked out of the bathroom. I grabbed my purse out of my room and walked to the front door.
Tiara had just come in the door with a suitcase in her hand. I saw other bags she had brought in while I was in the bathroom.
"I will be back after the interview. Liam should wake up soon," I said
"Alright! See you later. Good Luck!" She said, and I walked out the door
I hopped into my old Nissan that my mom had left me. The drive to Mitchell Enterprise was about ten minutes. Once I arrived, I parked my car in a parking spot and walked inside the building. They made me go through a security check, and then I went to the secretary's help desk.
There was a caramel skin woman with braids that was sitting at the desk on the phone. She didn't even acknowledge me.
"Excuse me," I said after waiting about two minutes
She looked up at me with a frown on her face."What can I do for you?" She asked with a fake smile
"I am here for the Administrative Assistant interview," I said
"Of course you are. This is your number. When it is your turn, they will call you by number. Take those elevators to the eighth floor," She said
I walked over to the elevator and went to the eighth floor. When I got off the elevator, I was shocked. About thirty people were waiting for an interview. I went to a table with a note saying to take one of the papers on the table, so I took the paper. I completed them while I was waiting for my number to be called
About three hours later, I was still waiting. People went in and came out with disappointed looks on their faces."Number 138," The lady at the desk called.
"Finally," I mumbled and walked over to the door.
"This way miss," The lady said, and I followed her through the hallway.
While we were walking down the hall, a lady with bleached hair and caramel color skin came to view. She had a smile on her face.
"I wouldn't waste my time if I were you," She said as she passed by.
I shook what she said off and kept walking. She was probably trying to intimidate me. Once we reached the end of the hall, the lady knocked on the door.
"Come in," I heard the manly voice say
"Good luck," The lady said as I was walking into the office
I mouthed a thank you, and she closed the door behind me.I looked at the man that was sitting in the chair. He was looking at his computer and didn't even acknowledge me."I am going to be honest, so I don't waste your time. I have already chosen the person I feel will best fit this position. So it would be best if we cut this interview short," He said without looking at me.
I couldn't believe what he had just said to me. I waited all that time for him to say he had chosen someone. I don't know if it was everything that happened yesterday, the fact that I had a three-year-old to take care of, or that I waited so long for the interview. It was probably all those things, but I couldn't take it anymore.
"Are you serious?" I asked
"Yes! You can leave," He said without acknowledging my presence.
"No, I am not going anywhere. I have waited for three fucking hours for you to tell me that you have already chosen someone. How dare you! Just because you are rich and get everything handed to you doesn't mean you can play with people's emotions." I screamed
He was staring at me, not saying anything. He was looking at me like he was in a trance. Like I was the most beautiful person in the world. I knew I had to be wrong. He was probably about to call security on me at any moment.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," I finished and stormed out of there before security could get to me.
I walked out to my car, upset. When I got inside, I couldn't help but cry. I cried harder than I had in a while. I missed my mom. When I felt bad, she was the person I could talk to.
After I was done crying, I started the car and drove home. Once I walked inside, I saw Liam playing in the living room with his toys. I looked over at Tiara, who was already looking at me. I was sure my eyes were red and puffy from crying."What happened," she asked, and I told her everything.
"That bastard!" She said
"I know! He was so arrogant. He didn't look at me until I started cussing him out. You should have seen his face. He couldn't stop staring at me," I said
"Really,"
"Yeah! I think he was shocked that a commoner had the nerve to scream at him," I said, and she laughed. Just then, my phone rang.
"Hello," I said
"Miss Davis," a lady said
"That"s me."
"I am calling to let you know that you have been chosen to be Blake Mitchell's Assistant. Do you accept?"
I couldn't believe my ears. I thought about everything I had said to him and knew it would be too awkward to take the position.
"I'm sorry! I can't accept." I said and hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Tiara asked me
"Some lady called telling me I was chosen for the job."
"And you declined? Girl call them back and tell them you accept," She said
"I can't; they called from a private number," I said
Just then, my phone rang again. The name that came on my phone screen was Blake Mitchell.
"It says Blake Mitchell," I said to Tiara, shocked.
"Answer it, girl," she said, and I answered the call.
"Hello," I said quietly.
"Miss Davis, this is Blake Mitchell. I believe you remember me from earlier," He said in a manly, husky voice that sent a chill threw my body.
"Yes, I remember you,"
"Good, I want to offer you the Assistant job. I had one of the ladies at the front desk call, but she said you declined. I decided to personally call to offer you the position and ask you to come to my office tomorrow at nine to discuss the position. Pay is negotiated," He said
"OK, I will be there," I said
"Good! I will see you in the morning. Goodbye, Miss Davis," He said and hung up the phone.
I couldn't believe what had just happened.

Blake's POV "We will call you if you are chosen," I said to the lady sitting across from me. I was definitely not choosing her. She didn't even have any experience being an Administrative Assistant. "Thanks, sir," She said and walked out. How's it going? My cousin James asked as he came into my office. "These people have no idea how to be an assistant. Who thought it would be smart to have open interviews? They should be fired," I said and rubbed my hair with my hands out of frustration. "You have a good time with that girl you brought home last night?" James asked "You know I did, and I didn't bring one girl home; I brought three," I said with a smirk. Being the CEO of Mitchell's Enterprise and owning a lot more businesses made all the girls run to me. Not to mention the fact that I was a Mitchell myself. We were the wealthiest people in Illinois. We had billions of dollars. "Well, good luck with your interviews," James said and opened the door Ciara, one of my front r

Camela's POV"What are you going to wear tomorrow to see Mr. CEO," Tia asked"I was thinking I would wear my blue suit with a white shirt underneath.""You should wear something shorter," She said "Why would I do that?""Because you have a hot CEO that is attracted to you." "No, he's not," I replied shocked that she would think that"He called you personally after you screamed at him in his office. You even declined the job at first. Why would he go through all the trouble if he doesn't have a thing for you?" She asked"He might feel I am the best qualified for the position,""Yeah right! You and I both know that there were a lot of people there that were more qualified. You have never been an Admin Assistant," She said and I knew she was rightWhy would he want me as his Assistant? He had told me he had already found the person that was fit for the job. He didn't even interview me. I was beginning to think it would be a bad idea to show up in the morning."Maybe I shouldn't go," I

"I have a younger brother that I am responsible for. He will come with me if I move because I am all he has left. My best friend lives with us too. She will be the one that babysits him for me when I am at work. I don't know if other people are allowed to move into the homes that the company provides," I said "You are allowed to bring family to the home, and your friend will also be able to come. A daycare is nearby just in case you would like to look into it. Do you accept my offer, Miss. Davis," "Yes," Camela's POV "Great! "Let's go," Mr. Mitchell said. "Where are we going?" I asked, confused. "I want to show you your new house, and you need to get a car," he explained. I got to my feet and followed him out of his office. A woman with blond hair approached him, smiling. She dressed in a short dress that made her look like she was going to a club rather than work. She yanked his tie and leaned her body on his. I could feel myself becoming annoyed by how close she was to h

Saying that, I needed some stuff for the new house."No, it's not. You and Liam need new things for your new home," He said"Don't you think it is inappropriate for you to be shopping with me?" I asked"No, I don't see how that is inappropriate," He said"Mr. Mitchell," I started but was cut off"There is nothing wrong with me taking you to the store and helping you pick out a few items for your new home. After this, we still have to pick out your car," He said"But you are my boss," He said"Exactly, I am the boss, and what I say goes. So don't worry about anyone else. They won't say anything to disrespect you, or they will have to deal with me," he said. I could tell that he was serious."And the name is Blake,""Excuse me,""My name is Blake. Enough of that, Mr. Mitchell nonsense. You don't ever have to call me that," He saidI

Camela's POV"What would you like to eat, Liam," Blake askedHe had taken us to the fair since it was that time of the year."I'm not hungry. I want to play," Liam said, causing me to smile"Okay, let us go play them. We will be back, ladies," Blake said as he took him over to one of the kiddie rides"You are so lucky," Tiara said"What are you talking about?" I asked "You know what I am talking about, Cami. That hot CEO billionaire has the hots for you," She said"No, he doesn't. He is my boss and is friendly,""You and I both know that is a bunch of bullshit. I think he likes you more than likes you," She said."He hardly knows me. How can he more than like me?" I asked"I don't know, but I am telling you that he does," She said We sat for a while until Blake returned to our table with Liam. He had a big bag of blue cotton candy. "Liam, you are going to be sticky now. Let me see," I said and took the bag away from him."I think your sister is right, little man. You need to eat so

Camela's POV"How do I look?" I asked Tiara as I made my way into the kitchen."Better than the outfit you had on yesterday. I still think you can lose a few inches of your skirt. You do have a CEO boyfriend," She said with a smirk on her face."He is not my boyfriend. He is my boss," I said"For now," she replied"I have to go to work. See you later," I said and kissed Liam on his cheek."Bye, Liam," I said and headed outside. When I got outside, I was surprised to see a Limo parked in my driveway. Two men that looked like security guards were standing outside of the Limo. The driver stepped out of the driver's seat when I walked out. I remembered him from one of the men that worked for Blake."Ms. Davis, Mr. Mitchell sent me to pick you up for work," He said "That is unnecessary. I can drive myself to work," I said"I am sorry, mam, bosses orders," He saidI picked up my phone and called Blake. He had saved his number on my phone earlier when we were at Target shopping yesterday.

Blake's POV"Have a seat," I told Camela as we arrived at my office.She seemed to hesitate but finally sat on the chair across from me. I noticed that she wouldn't look at me. Instead, she kept looking everywhere but in my direction. I put my hand on hers and could feel that warm feeling that I only think from her touch."I am sorry about what happened out there. I promise it won't happen again," I said, and she looked at me."You have nothing to apologize to me for, Mr. Mitchell. I just work for you," She said"That is not true, and you know it," I said"What do you mean?" She asked "There is something that I need to tell you. It may sound crazy, but I promise it is all true," I said, looking deep into her eye."I'm listening," She said, staring back at me."Well, there is a myth in my family. Everyone in my family will receive a soulmate one day," I said, and she looked at me, confused."Okay, a myth about soulmates. What does that mean that you all find your true love or somethin

Camela's POV"Is there anything else you need me to do, Mr. Mitchell?" I asked I was sitting at my desk bored for almost two hours. Whenever I asked if he needed anything, he would tell me no."No, everything is fine at the moment, and my name is Blake to you," He said "I am sure there is something I can do," I said"No, I am almost done here. In a minute, we can get some lunch. Are you hungry?" He askedI was hungry but didn't want to complain. I had hardly done any work besides setting some appointments. I felt like I wasn't doing my job right."I'm not hungry," I said, and he looked over at me."You are lying. I know you are hungry," He said and then stood out of his chair and grabbed his suit jacket."Come on. It's time for lunch," He said and held his hand out for me to hold.I hesitated for a minute but finally placed my hand in his, feeling tingles all over my hand where he touched. We walked to his private elevator and got in. Once we were on the ground floor, everyone watch

Blake looked at me for a while before replying,"Okay, then let's go inside," Blake said, and they walked into the hospital room. Veronica was lying on the bed, and when she saw Blake, she began to smile, but when her eyes met mine, her smile turned into a frown. "What are you doing here? I know, you are here to brag about winning my man," Veronica said"That is not why I am here," I replied"Oh, please. We both know you came to rub in my face that you won. We both know that Blake would have returned to me if you didn't do this to me," Veronica said, pointing to her legs. After I accidentally shot her, she became paralyzed. I felt terrible for her becoming paralyzed and felt I was partly to blame, but I knew it wasn't my fault. She was trying to kill me, and she would have if I didn't take the gun."I am not hap

Blake's POV"You should know better than to trespass on someone else's property. Why would your friends tell you to do that?" My dad asked the teenage boy. "I am sorry. My friends didn't tell me to come to your property. Some lady gave me one hundred dollars to go by the house," the boy replied, making me look at him."What did the woman look like?" I asked worriedly. Before he could answer me, I heard a gunshot. I looked at my dad, and he was already looking at me. The sound came from the house, and I quickly ran to the house with my dad and James running behind me.We walked into the house and made our way to the kitchen to see my mom standing over Blaire with the phone in her hand."She took Cami, "My mom said, and I ran out of the house. I already knew who she was talking about. "Cami," I called. "Come back here," I heard the voice of the woman that I hated with all of my heart. Veronica. I ran towards her voice and heard a gunshot. I looked up to see Veronica aiming for someon

Cami's POV"What the fuck do you mean she escaped? How the fuck could this happen?" Blake growled"Blake, please, calm down," I said, placing my hand on his chest. He looked at me and took a deep breath. I could tell he was worried about her escaping. I was worried about Veronica escaping the mental hospital and was sure she would come to Blake and my home. She truly believed she was Blake's soulmate and that I was a witch that cast a spell on him. "How did she escape?" I asked"She seduced one of the workers at the institution. She convinced him to help her escape so they could be together. We found him in the parking lot dead. She shot him twice, once in the chest and then in the head. After that, she took his car. We are doing everything to find her.""Thank you, officers. I am sure you are doing your best," I replied"It would be best for you not to stay here. We are not sure what Veronica is planning, but she is most likely coming to get what she believes is hers, and she believe

Cami's POV I woke up to the sound of beeping sounds. When I opened my eyes, I saw I was in a hospital. I looked over to see Blake asleep and sitting on a chair next to me, holding my hand. I moved my hand, which caused his eyes to open. "Cami, your awake," Blake said. "The babies, are they alright?" I asked, looking at my stomach. "They are fine, Cami. They are in the NICU and doing great. The Doctors said they want to keep an eye on them because you had them a little early. My mom and dad are in there with them right now," Blake said "I want to see them," I said and began to sit up on the bed, but Blake stopped me. "Okay, but you need to stay lying down. Let me page the nurse to let them know you are up," He said and pressed the call button. A lady answered on the other end. "Can you please send a Doctor in right away? My wife has woken up," Blake said "Of course. I will let the Doctor know, and the Doctor will be there shortly," The lady replied. "Thank you," Blake replie

Cami's POV"What are you doing, Charles? You need to leave," Brandon said. All the guests had already got up and ran out of the backyard, leaving only Blake, his parents, Blaire, James, and me in the backyard. "I am sorry, brother, but I am not going anywhere. Not after everything you and you're son took from me," Uncle Charles said. Uncle Charle looked to see Blake pull me close to him protectively. "You see that, Veronica? The way he is so protective of her. How does it make you feel knowing the man you love was playing with your feeling?" Uncle Charles asked"How could you do this to me, Blake? You are mine, but you let this poor bitch trick you into marrying her. I bet she did something to get pregnant, so you would have to be with her," Veronica said. I could tell by the way she spoke that she was not in her right mind.""Veronica, I was never yours, to begin with. You know, We weren't even in a relationship. I told you that I didn't do relationships, Remember?" Blake asked"But

Cami's POVI woke up to an empty bed. It is Blake and my wedding day, and I am both excited and nervous. Blake's mom and dad showed up at eleven to get Blake out of the house before midnight. His mom believed it was bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. So Blaire and Kathleen ended up spending the night in guest bedrooms. Blake had taken Liam with him last night. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. Once I was finished, I walked out of the room, knowing that if I didn't, Kathleen would soon knock on my bedroom door. I walked into the kitchen to see Kathleen cooking breakfast while Blaire sat at the table. "Good morning, Cami," Blaire said as I sat next to her"Morning," I replied"Today is the big day. Are you nervous?" Blaire asked"A little," I replied. "You have nothing to be nervous about, sweetheart. My son is going to make you the happiest woman in the world," Kathleen said as she handed me a plate of food."I know," I said."W

Blake's POVI quickly walked into my dad's office. I couldn't believe one hundred million dollars was missing from my company. It was evident that someone intentionally took it, and I needed to figure out who it was."Dad," I said as I opened the door"What's wrong, son?" he asked"I need to get to the office. Apparently, someone has stolen more than one hundred million dollars from the business," I said"What? Who could have done that? I am coming with you," My father said. I returned to the dining room, where Cami talked with my mom and Sandra. She looked happy as they talked about the wedding. "Hey, Princess. Dad and I have to go to the office to take care of something," I said as I walked over to her."Is everything alright?" She asked"Yes, there is an important client that needs help with something," I said so she wouldn't worry."You go ahead, son. Cami and I have to go to the dress shop to have them do her measurements for the wedding dress," My mom said "Yeah, I am sure the

I am happy that you have chosen to invest in my company," Mr. Jacob's said as he shook my hand."No problem. Now, if you will excuse me, I have somewhere I have to be," I replied"Of course. I never told you congratulations on your upcoming wedding," "Thank you. I have to go meet my fiance now for cake tasting," I said"Oh, yes, the cake tasting. You can't be late for that," he said with a laugh"You are right. I will talk to you soon," I replied and headed for my car. "You are right on time. Sandra just arrived with the cakes. They are in the dining room," My dad said as soon as I walked into my parent's house."Thanks, dad,"; I said and headed to the dining room.

Kathleen, Blaire, and I were dress shopping for Blake and My wedding."I can't believe the two of you are getting married in a month," Blaire said"I am happy that they aren't waiting. Yeah, we have a lot of work to get done in a short time, but they are meant to be. Why should they wait?" Kathleen said"I didn't say I'm not happy. I just said its quick," Blaire replied"We didn't want to wait. I am ready to be married to him, and the babies will be here soon," I replied"When are you meeting with Kimberly?" Kathleen asked. Kimberly was a wedding planner that went to school with Blaire and Blake. We decided that hiring a wedding planner would make planning for the wedding easier."Later on today. We are supposed to go by her office at six," I replied"I am keeping Liam for them while they go
