After taking my cup of coffee, I sighed as I stood up from my seat and made my way to my dad's office. I know what he wants to talk about. That's what he has been saying for the past one year and I'm already fed up.
I liked my normal lifestyle, when I was not the CEO of this company. Sure, I had many women at my feet, the influencial ones though. I've never done out with anyone below my standards, never.
The women lived been with me, even if it was always for a week. I always already inform them ahead. Sex for a week and we're done. Besides who would be able to resist this body.
I entered the elevator and clicked the button to the top floor. That's where my dad's office is. Since he already handed over to me he started staying in the highest floor. I don't know why he's worried about the company.
I might be reckless, but that's with the women, not office work. I might not like being the CEO of this company, but there's nothing I can do about it.
The elevator dinged and the door opened. I made my way towards the brown mahogany door ahead of me. I really don't want to have a conversation with this man.
You could say my relationship with my father is strained.
I knocked on the door as I adjusted my tie. "It's open." Came his response.
I released a huge breath and then opened the door.
"Father." I acknowledged him as I took a sit on the black leather and then crossed my legs and made myself comfortable on the seat.
"I thought u were not going to come" my dad said and chuckled
All I did was nod my head. I don't find anything funny in me not coming."What is it you want to tell me dad?" I asked looking around. I noticed that he already changed some things...like he just got that white book shelf, the black couch-
"There is family dinner next week Friday and your elder sister wants you to be there, the whole family wants you to be there with your girlfriend" he said and looked at me.
"But dad we have been over this before, I'm not-"
He cut me off "ready? That's always your excuse Eros. Your grandmother said she is expecting you and your fianceè".
I sighed and said "then I'm not going to the dinner. You can't force me to do what I dont want to" I said already walking out
"EROS ALEXANDRO KINGSTON!!" my dad shouted and stood up from his seat "you will not walk away from me when I'm talking to you!!".
I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face him "if you do not attend that dinner with your girlfriend or whatever I'll withdraw every money in your account and you will no longer be the CEO of this company. I'll make your life a living hell. And, I give you one and a half years to have a wife and a child or else everything you own will be lost" he said angrily looking at me straight in the eye.
He was going to do it, yes, it is something he can do. Something he is capable of. I made an attempt to talk but nothing came out. I turned my back at him and walked out.
Fuck him and his money! Where the hell I'm I going to get a girlfriend who will accept to be my wife and have a kid for one and a half years.
Damn it!!"Miss Jackson! My office now!" I called as I made my way inside my office. I was annoyed, beyond furious. I needed to release some steam and miss Jackson seemed to be the perfect person for that.
She always found a way to get on my nerves, one way or the other. I don't know if she does it intentionally or not, but it always works.
"Cancel all the meetings I have today." I said typing furiously in my computer.
She made a questioning noise at the back of her throat.
"Are you deaf?" She stood there with her wide eyes and then shook her head.
She was about to go out of my office when I said, "and, where the hell are you going!"
She turned around and then crossed her arms over her chest, allowing it to rise up and I swear it caught my attention.
Whore.
"Till you get your shit together, I can't continue to work for someone that does not know how to talk nicely to his Personal assistant. With the two months I have spent working with you, you have made my life a living hell. I can't get to do anything in peace! What the fuck is your problem?!"
"You complain about every little thing! You snap at me for every little thing!"
"You might be a hot and sexy boss, but till you get your shit together, I'm done!" Followed by the slam of the door.
She called me hot and sexy?
She just quit you fool!
I'm screwed.

Kelvin, one of my friends got me a personal assistant immediately I told him what went on between myself and Janet. Even though he told me it was my fault I was not ready to accept the blame.I already had three personal assistants since the time Janet left and now, Monday. Don't blame me! None of them is as good as Janet. They are either too sluggish or flirting and Janet is none of that.I made up my mind to go to her house as I close for the day. To apologize at least. I can't blame her, I know I'm at fault, even if it's hard to accept it.I've talked to Kelvin about what my father said. He is a Lawyer and he has brought up a few ideas which I did not like at all. He said I could date one of the girls I've had sex with and I told him I'm never taking any of them to meet my family.I don't want girls like that meeting my family. Most of them are good diggers. I know I'm a man whore, but the woman I'm goi

I waited for about fifteen minutes before she came down. She was putting on a black jeans and a grey sweatshirt coupled with a pair of vans.She already removed her hair from the bun it was, she already straightened it and it was obvious she was on makeup.With make up or without makeup she was pretty either way."You ready?" I asked her as I stood up from the couch. My eyes scanning her appearance."Yh." She visibly gulped, nodding her head. She picked up her black purse, probably in case of money."You know I'm paying right? You don't need your purse."She shrugged as she turned off the TV and we made our way outside.I decided on having pizza, since we were both not dressed elegantly for a exquisite diner.I opened the door for her and she mumbled a 'thank you'"What are we having?" She asked me as she strapped in her seat belt.I started the engine after strapping myself in too "Pizza?"

After the dinner I had with Janet I dropped her off at her house and she was silent throughout. She kept playing with her fingers and bouncing her leg."Goodnight.""Night. And thanks for tonight." She gave a small smile before closing the door.I just hope she comes to work tomorrow.I drove straight home, my penthouse. I put off my shirt, turned on the TV to distract myself and then poured myself a shirt of whiskey.I pulled out my cell phone and then called Kelvin."Hey man." His voice sounded hoarse."I talked to Janet about the -""Janet? The one that works in your office? Your personal assistant?" He cut me off as he continued to throw questions at me.I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, "yes. That one.""So, what did she say?" I heard papers ruffling. He was probably working on a project and I was here disturbing him with my own problem."Nothing.""Nothing?"

Immediately I got to my office, I arranged my stuffs and then logged in into the company's laptop. I was busy replying a mail from someone who applied for an appointment when my phone rang.Mom.I picked up the call and the first thing I heard was my mom crying at the other end of the line."Mom...mom, what's wrong?" I asked fera evident in my voice."Your brother, it's Andrew." She hiccuped which only means she has been crying since. "He...he was involved in a car accident" she sniffed"Wha.... what?! How?!" I stood up from my seat pacing around my office, I could already feel the headache coming."He went to this party we didn't know about with some of his friends. They were about to come drop him off at home when a trailer that had already lost control hit them." I knew she was crying all over again."He was the only one that made it, but with a broken leg." She sighed "and some broken bones." She added later."You sho

Thenext morning, I woke up earlier than usual, probably because of the thought of me being his wife finally settled in, even if we're not yet bounded by the contract. After we had our talk, before we left where we had our lunch, he told me he already made arrangements for the contract file to be made. And, we'll sign first thing tomorrow morning.I cleaned up my room and the living room. Immediately I got home from work, Jade was the first person I called. Everything was happening so fast in a blur.After I blurted everything out to her, she just reassured me it was going to be alright. And then, we took ice cream and watched Netflix.Presently, I was in my kitchen making breakfast, bacon and eggs. I already put in my office wear, a black riffle cuff sheer Swiss dot mesh sleeve too and a black faux leather high- rise leggings, coupled with my black heels. Soon breakfast was ready and as I was about to make my way out of the door I heard a knock.

Under seven minutes Eros was standing outside my door as he watched me pack some of the files I needed to finish at home. "You know you can leave those right?""Yes. But I really need to finish it." I replied as I looked at him. He had one of his hands placed inside his pocket while the other held his car key."I'm ready." I exhaled and straightened my skirt. I felt his eyes on my mid thigh and I swear his eyes were filled with lust. I cleared my throat in order to clear the awkwardness in the room.Because we have this contract between us doesn't mean I was still not attracted to him, I definitely was!He glanced up at my face and then gave me a small smile as we both made our way out of the office. Immediately we got out of the elevator, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.I couldn't stop the blush that rose to my cheeks. My colleagues all looked at us as if they just saw an alien, as if what happened this morning was e

I woke up the next morning with my alarm blaring loudly into my ears. I trained and searched for it mindlessly. I finally found it and then put the alarm off. "Do I need to get up today."I sat down uprightly I'm my bed and then grabbed my phone. I scrolled through my messages and saw I had one from Eros.Good morning.Since tomorrow is the dinner we're having with my family I decided you should move in today. And, you don't need to come to work, I'll take care of things.The Parkers would be in your side around ten.Ten? I checked the time and it was past eight! I had less than two hours to pack my stuffs and clean up myself!I got out of bed and ran into the bathroom. Did all the necessities and dressed up.Since I had already packed

Holy shit!That was the first thing that came to my mind immediately I entered the room.The room was large. Larger than the one in my apartment. It had a queen sized bed, decorated with pillows of all sorts and placed on it was a white duvet.I placed the duvet in between my hands and felt it, it is....soft. I can't wait to lay on that bed. I walked straight into the closet and wow! It was already filled with clothes and shoes. Surprisingly they were my sizes.Weird.After unpacking my things and cleaning the room, I was already all so sweaty after the cleaning and decided to take a shower.I changed into a sweat shirt and a sweat pants and then packed my hair in a bun. I went downstairs and Daine already told me dinner was ready.Should I wait for him? I thought.I told Daine that I was going to wait for Eros t

Five years later..."Mom! James is being an idiot right now." I heard my daughter's loud voice call from the living room. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I dusted the flour on my hands, making my way to the living room to check up on Jane and her brother.Yes, Jade and Diane eventually named her Jane."What is going on here?" I asked and then saw both of them arguing over who gets the remote."Jane does not want to turn off the TV!" James said."Why should she turn off the TV darling?" I asked as I knelt down in between both of them with the remote in my hand."Because I am trying to draw and I can not do that with that...noise coming from the TV." He groaned."That is what he could have said." I heard Jane say as she rolled her eyes.I sighed, "that should not call for arguements between both of you." I pushed the lock of hair that fell on my face. I lowered the volume of the tv and then, "better?" I asked James."Yes. Thanks Mom." He gri

You did really good in there." Eros whispered soothingly as on of his hands massaged my head, making me feel sleepy."Thank you, for being in there with me." I gave him a small smile."We are a team, of course I will always be there with you." He placed a kiss on my forehead."Where are my babies?" I asked as I looked around the room but found their cribs empty."The nurses took them away to clean them up.""Okay.""You should sleep. You are probably tired already.""hmmn." That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep. Whoever said child birth is easy, is definitely out of his or her mind. For a second there what was running through my mind was, 'I was not going to make it. I can not push out a second child, even the first one took everything in me not to pass out. I would tell Eros to take care of my children if I die.' but I made it, I am alive with my two kids and a husband who loves me dearly.My parents told me they would be here
The ultimatum Chapter 35
The wedding was so beautiful, I even had to tear up a little. Rose and Harry both said their vows and then Harry proceeded to kiss his bride. After that the reception was next, we all moved to where the reception was going to be held. Harry's parents invited a lot of people, including their business partners. I met Rose' family for the second time, the first time was during the preparations."When do you think we should have our own wedding?" I heard Eros say from behind me as his warm hands wrapped around my belly, pulling me closer to his body.I grinned, "when our daughter turns one."He exhaled as he put his face in-between my neck, "I can wait." He turned me towards him, so I was facing him and then, "we would have a beautiful family."I pecked him on his lips, "I know. And, I'm glad it's with you.""Me too.""Do you want to dance?" I asked him grinning."Yes, come on." We both made our way to the dance floor and then started dancing until the

Saying I am not nervous will be a lie. I have been standing at his front door for like two minutes now. I already practiced what to say, why is it then so hard to knock on the stupid door. You can do it. You are made of steel baby.I knocked on the door and cleaned the imaginary dust on my jeans. There was no answer. I knocked again and this time I heard footsteps coming towards the door. I breathed out.The door opened, revealing Kevin. He smiled at me and I gave him a nervous smile. He probably thinks of me as a bad person. "Is he home?" I asked looking behind him. "Yeah." he answered and opened the door wider so I could enter. "Thanks." I said."He is in his room." he said leaving me alone as he went to the kitchen. I dropped my bag, but before I could climb up the stairs Kevin said, "please forgive him Janet, he made a mistake and he really needs you." he said and walked back into the kitchen.Everything was how I left it. Nothing has changed. I was scared. W

JANET JACKSON.I woke up the next day feeling better than I have felt in days. Since I was going to Eros family's house I get to see Eros, happy that we get to settle this shit. Happy that I can get my man back. I groaned as I sat up on my bed with a missed call from Eros mother. Weird. And the message and voice note I sent to Eros, he has not listened to any of it.Well, maybe his phone is dead or something. Yeah, that should be it.I made a mental note to call Eros' back when I am done with my routine. I went into the bathroom and had my bath and made sure I shampooed my hair. I got out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed. I wrapped my fluffy white towel around my body and one around my head, so it would get dry to some point.I made my way downstairs with my phone in hand only to see that Jade and Diane were no where in sight. I picked up the yellow sticky note with Jade's handwriting she left on the fridge. We went out for a run,

It has been two weeks last since I saw Eros. Since I smiled at him and likewise. It has been two weeks since I last felt the butterflies fluttering in my chest whenever he kisses me. And, oh, his kisses. I have been miserable this past two weeks, just sitting alone in the house and we'll, sometimes with Jade's sons, which is very streesful if you ask me. I had to quit my job and I am already planning on opening a clothing store.Today has been really weird for me. Eros stopped calling me which made me sad. My parents moved away from their old house into a more comfortable one, my mom has her own bakery, dad has his own car shop and my brother will graduate high school soon.Today is Friday and Jade is staying home with me cause she said I have been behaving weird lately. I mean why would she think that? Okay, maybe apart from the constant mood swings and all. I tried talking her out of it but she would not listen to me.She said I should not think of it as if she is m

I woke up with my alarm blaring form my phone. I woke up and checked my phone. Emma had already sent the message to me.Joe's place. 1pm. Joe's place was a coffee shop that Emma and I have gone to take coffee and cookies.I read the message and placed my phone back on the bed side table. I groaned as I ran my hands through my hair which was a mess right now.It was still 10am. There is still time. I got out of bed and went downstairs. I met Jade already dressed."Hey." she greeted as she sipped from her coffee."Morning." I replied as I picked up her cup and drank out of it. "I could have made another one, you know?" she said as she gave me a small smile."Sorry. I needed it." I replied as I poured myself my own cup this time."How are you doing?" She asked looking at me sympathetically. "I am fine." I said as I sipped my coffee."Are you sure?" She asked as she washed her cup in the zinc before drying it. "Yh, I am meeting Emma later today."

I came back downstairs already changed. I missed a step which made me almost falling,but thank goodness I didn't. I saw Eros arguing with the lady. She glanced over at me and smirked. Bitch. I walked past both of them until Eros grabbed my arm. His hair was already dishveled probably from running his hands through them. "Don't.you.dare.touch.me" I seethed through gritted teeth glaring at him."Please Janet,you said nothing was going to change the way you feel about me." He pleaded softly. And, there was this visible sadness in his eyes that made my heart ache for him, for us. "Then, maybe we both lied." I shrugged. I would have given in but...he hurt me. I shook my head vigorously as more tears came down, then snatched my arm away from his grasp and then left his house...their house. I felt wetness on my cheeks...I really loved him, and I believed he loved me. I hailed a cab and told him the address of Jade, she went to her parents house but she said she would be back today and
The ultimatum Chapter 29
Eros could not tell me what he wanted to say, that was making him so tense and nervous because I slept throughout our car ride back home. When he parked his car, he opened the door to my side, the passenger seat and then carefully lifted me off my seat, but first unbuckling my seatbelt. He carried me in bridal style and then used his legs to shut the door since I was already in his arms.I knew the time he started carrying me up the stairs. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and then took in his scent. "Did you just sniff me?" He asked with a hint of amusement in his tone."No, I did not." I immediately denied it.He shook his head at me and then looked down at me with a small smile. He finally got to our room and did not bother putting on the lights since we were about to sleep. He placed me on the bed in a gentle manner and then removed my shoes even though I told him I could do it myself.He later helped me to zip down my dress and then removed it from
