"I'll be leaving you in good hands"

Mrs Rogers started and I felt my heart crash down to my stomach. I had worked as Jenna Rogers' secretary from as long as I can remember now hearing news of her retirement was like telling me that my life was over.

Good hands. Those were the words that mortified me the most. In the company there were three exclusive superiors with Mrs Jenna being the CEO and her children her juniors. To start with, there was Mario Rogers, the boss who treated all the ladies in the company as if he owned them. I dreaded with disgust recalling how Mario had spanked my ass once. And not just my ass, Mario did that to all his female employees forcing them to call him hun or disgusting nicknames like daddy Mario. Gross I know!

Next on the list was Drizzy, a moody woman who unleashed her anger on her employees depending on whether her boyfriend dumped her or not. Drizella Rogers changed her boyfriend every once a week just like she replaced her Chanel bags. To this day I was still shocked at the fact that while my love life sucked, Drizzy never lacked a boyfriend and not just any boyfriend who worked as a waiter at McDonald's but an actor, a model or even one of those men who pose in Metro Magazines.

The thought of me landing as a secretary for those two made me feel like collapsing where I stood.

"Mrs Rogers, I could always work for you at home. I'm good with cleaning, I give a good foot rub, I know how to fold laundry,"I pleaded but aaah who was I kidding? There was no way Mrs Jenna could make me a maid. She had a soft spot for me and so did I.

"At least tell me, who is going to be my boss"

With a smile, the words smoothly left her mouth.

"Why my son of course, Niclaus"

And she left but I didn't leave. I stood there for so many minutes thinking of whether or not I had heard her right. But who was Niclaus Rogers? From what I had gathered, Niclaus Rogers was the prodigal son in the family. He was the eldest son but after Mr William Rogers passed away he also went away leaving nothing behind to remember him by. Mrs Jenna never spoke about him much which is why I found it queer that he would be returning, much so as the CEO. But I bet he would make a good CEO than Mario.

The day went by, I packed my things and drove off to my little apartment located in the outskirts of town. To say that I was lonely was an understatement. For status, I lived with an alcoholic uncle after my parents died and left me in his care. As a way of appreciation for him taking care of her, in return I took care of him. Now by taking care of him, that meant buying him beer anytime he wanted, helping him to his bed everytime he had a drinking spree with his friends, taking all the taunting expletives he threw at me without a word and finally giving him money everytime he wanted some.

As I opened my apartment door, the stench of alcohol filled my nostrils and I scrunched my nose in disgust. Oggie came running to her and I picked him up making my way through the empty bottles of beer on the floor. With a sigh, I plopped on the couch switching on my old tv and watching Ada's cook show in hope that it would relieve all the chaos in my life but truth be told it did nothing to ease the immense pain I had buried in my chest.

Eleanor Gibbins. Even saying my name made me laugh. My life was one big joke. A drunk uncle. Being an orphan since birth. Having no family whatsoever and now even the job that distracted me from all that pretty soon would change too. Patting Oggie's fur coat I sat there wondering how Mr Niklaus would be. Would he be a good boss like his mother? Or worse would he be like Sir Mario Rogers, a randy untamed goat that thought lust was everything he needed in life?

*******

First chapter guys. Drop your thoughts on it and please do not vote without reading the chapter.

What do you think of the name Niklaus? Most especially who does it remind you of? Specifically which Tv character?

I'mma shut up now but thanks for going through the short chapter.

Love you guys

Don’t like when authors make notes after each chapter for the readers. You don’t see it in hardback books so why do it here?

    Shoot I'm running late!I cried running to the elevator. I was about to hit the elevator button when Mr Mario shouted from the end of the hallway to stop the lift. Thinking about it, me plus Mr Mario in an enclosed space wasn't a good idea. Looking at him dead in the eyes, I tapped the button so many times but the elevator doors betrayed me by closing so slowly allowing him to force himself in. Oh boy!"Well hello cutie," he started, licking his lips in this creepy way that made me step backwards."Hello Mr Mario," I said curtly."Mr Mario? Hun call me Mario. I get that my looks are intimidating but you don't have to be so formal with me," he said inching close to me that I wished there was a door for me to jump out.I was afraid but my subconscious still managed to find the whole situation amusing. What looks? He had no looks. Sure his fancy clothes complimented him but his hair? He gelled his hair back like an old lawyer about to go to a law suit and that nose. I didn't want to judge

    Krrrrrkrrrrr krrrrrkrrrrrThe screeching sound of my phone woke me up. My eyes adjusted to the room as I looked over at the nightstand seeing the glorious light of my phone dominating my dark room."Elle, you better switch that thing off!" Uncle Mike shouted and from his tone I could tell he just awoke from his siesta.What sort of dope calls at five in the morning?Taking the phone in my hands, I answered with a weak hello."Enelor? Some documents are missing, I thought you counter checked these files before putting them away. Doesn't matter now, I need you here in half an hour to help me with this. I already sent Martin to pick you up"And he hung up. Oh brother! This dude was nothing like his mother. Didn't he know that it was five in the morning? Didn't he have a freaking watch in his house? Ok poor choice of words, he already had a Rolex watch which by the way, I noted while he scolded me for drinking his latte.Creepily getting out of bed and making sure I wouldn't wake Oggie, I

    "Where's the milk?" He asked and I mumbled,"In the coffee"His brows tightening, he stopped whatever he was doing and looked at me dead in the eyes."What do you mean 'in the coffee'?""Sir you said your coffee and milk so I thought it was codeword for latte" I exhaled. Ooh don't tell me he actually wanted coffee and milk. That ...that is absurd for a guy who doesn't miss his latte in the morning."Codeword? What do you think this is,the army? I clearly said coffee and milk. Leave the latte here and get the milk. This time get some doughnuts too," he said pulling out his wallet and removing a fresh hundred dollar bill.Taking it in my hands, I walked out of the office fighting the urge to pull my hair out in defeat. His mother wasn't this hard to read but he on the other hand always had something to complain about. I didn't have the time to get the doghnuts and the milk since I had important issues like getting the board room ready for the meeting and informing people like Mr Mario t

    "Don't you dare speak to me like that young lady. Am your father and you will respect me," Uncle Mike shouted but that's the thing, he was not my father but my guardian for the past twenty three years.Hell my father? My parents? I didn't know them the only thing I knew was that they died in a fatal car crash with me being the only survivor. Even as I looked at him unbelievably, bitter tears welled my eyes. Those were my savings and he drunk them away just like that. My hard worked money just lying around in a counter of some bar downtown. I didn't have it in me to continue arguing with him so with a defeated sigh I took my bag and went out. I would rather be at work than at home.Walking to work took fifteen minutes to be exact. It was better if I started saving as early as now."My latte and would you please get Mario to my office" Again with the usual morning routine, I got the latte informed Mario's secretary to call Mario to my boss' office and finally went back to my desk focusi

    Typical Monday morning, a whole board room filled with the company's most influential investors and shareholders. My boss, Niklaus Rogers stood at the end of the conference room confidently presenting his bright ideas infront of the running projector. As for me on this wonderful morning, had regretted wearing the last thing I saw in my closet. The shortest navy blue skirt from my old days."Enelor, show them the folders" he instructed and everytime I bent down just to place each folder on the huge glass desk I had to tuck one hand behind to hide my bare undies. By the time I made my way to where Sir Niklaus stood an invisible boulder appeared out of nowhere making me trip right into his arms. With him startled and a dazzled me in his arms, I felt his huge hand on my left butt cheek confusion with a hint of anger clouded on my face as well as his.I stood up but he still clung to my waist making my back face him. It was embarrassing having to endure the looks that the investors threw my

    As immediate as John's Porsche left my apartment complex, I looked sideways making sure that no one saw us. The last thing I wanted was to be on the neighborhood rumor mill which mostly revolved around Uncle Mike and his drunk ways.Taking a breath of fresh air, I entered the building. The lights once more cut due to the overdue bills, I climbed the stairs slowly feeling the weight of all that ice cream take a toll on my body.What if I did get fat? That would definitely be a good thing because who was I kidding I was a little malnourished.Getting to my door, I searched for the keys in my bag heaving a sigh when my fingers came into contact with the sharp pieces of metals.I searched for the light switch grateful that Uncle Mike was fast asleep or was he?"Who was that?" The sound came from the farthest corner of my shabby living room.From the tone of it and the fresh smell of stinky beer I knew he was drunk."Just a friend,"I said quietly switching on the lights and throwing my bag

    "Home. I want to go home"She said quietly and god damn it, hearing her say that made me furious.Her torn lip still showed how badly the bastard had hit her. I didn't know that things were this bad and had I known, I wouldn't have done or said all those things to her.Yesterday, I had stepped out of line. It was not my intention to humiliate her or make her feel like some hoe but god damn it, that little skirt clouded my senses. I wasn't supposed to look at her that way. I wasn't supposed to feel jealous when she went out with someone and yet here I was, worried sick that she hated him.But wasn't that my primary goal? To make her hate me? To use her to my advantage?"This is your home,"I muttered not bothered at how her eyes scrutinized me.She was not well and although it shouldn't have mattered, it did. Her uncle or whatever he claimed he was to her would rot in jail for as long as I lived.I remember vaguely waiting for her outside her apartment to apologize. I had rehearsed a who

    We sat there in silence with him watching me put a fry in my mouth one after the other. I could feel his eyes on me. A million of questions running through his head.Raising my head slightly so that my eyes were at a level with his, I cleared my throat,"I can explain everything, it's not what you think"Ooh yeah like telling him to lie for you so that you can escape your boss' mansion is not something to overthink about."You don't have to,"he merely stated,"it's none of my business who you are with but that,"he paused pointing to my now slightly reddish wrists,"that is an indication that he is not right for you. Does his sister know? Elen have you even reported him?"The condemnation was overly laced in his voice. Truth is, I wanted to badly tell him that Sir Niklaus was not my lover. That he was not the one who did that to me. That I would never in a million years sleep with someone like Niklaus Rogers and yet the last part had me curious."You ... you know his sister?"

    Epilogue"I really think we should stop!",Elle shrieked with laughter her hands trying to push me away.My hands cornered on my very desk as I gazed at her beauty. Eight years of marriage and three kids and she still looked the same to me."Do you really want me to stop?"I smirked tapping my fingers from her knee down down down her thigh.It was her fault anyway for coming to me dressed in that. She knew how much that dress was a turn on for me. I wanted nothing but to rip it off."Y-yes oooooh",she gasped the moment I ran my fingers at the outline of her panties."You should... should stop",her eyes stared at me,"remember last time we tried to make love in your office", she warned.My smile turned wicked. How could I forget. How could I forget the way everyone looked at me when I entered the conference room. I simply I had no words.What was a guy to do when our top most clients heard Elle and I moaning over the microphone?It was safe to say that that was the most embarrassing moment

    Good bye.I had watched blood drain from her face the instant I said that.Did I mean it though? I wish I did. I wish I ripped her out of my heart and this madness would end right there and then.I wish I wouldn't be so worried about how she was doing, about how she was. But what's done is done, there was no point of going back to the past.Letting go was a hard thing to do but it was for the best, for me and for her. I loved her, I loved her since we were kids that wouldn't change and even if I fell in love with someone else I think a part of me would always love Elle.She was my first love after all.On a casual Wednesday morning, I was in my office preparing for a meeting. I would fly to the Philippines next week to visit Mario and help him out with some of the issues he had been trying to handle himself.Drizella was quick to inform me that Mario had some issues but he was trying to be the big boy, trying to handle everything by himself so that he could not ask me for help.I coul

    He stoked a fire in me, he brought the other wild side of me. My body responded to his touch and my heart ooh my heart turned to jello the very instant he murmured my name like a Benediction.And when he kept on repeating the words 'I love you' with no shame hell I felt loved and God knows I wanted to say 'I love you too'.As I watched him sleep, his naked chest glistening against the morning's sunlight I realised I had feelings for this man. I thought I buried these feelings deep inside but here I was smiling amusedly at how handsome he looked while he was asleep.I didn't regret yesterday at the very least. I was supposed to but I didn't.Deep down when I imagined sex, Niklaus was the only man I was having sex with and not Rocco. I loved Rocco. I used to love Rocco but after everything that transpired yesterday that love seemed to simmer down quickly than steam.Was it possible to love two guys at the same time?With Rocco, he was the perfect man and I guess that's what I was lookin

    The light clearly starting to peer through the room made my eyes flutter open.I would have loved to stay in bed all day, to sleep with her all day. Yesterday was- I had always imagined us but yesterday couldn't compare to my day dreams.It was like in a moment, I was in heaven. In a dream even.When I saw the fear in her eyes yesterday as I tugged on the lace of her panties, I sure as hell knew that she hadn't slept with Rocco.And like a fool, I found myself grinning at that. I was the only supposed to touch her, I was the only supposed to be inside her.Once my head came to the conclusion that she was still a virgin, I tried my best not to ravish her immediately. I tried my best to be in control, to not be a caveman, to make sure that the night was perfect.To inscribe that night on her mind forever. And when I was inside of her, feeling her walls convulse around me, I wanted nothing but to come so hard.I restrained myself, I wanted her to reach her orgasm first. For her to have t

    After Rocco left me to sleep, I sat on my bed frustratedly. I simply couldn't wait for Isadora and Daniel's wedding to push through and I would leave home.I loved home, I really do but things were changing too fast. Rocco was changing too and I didn't like it one bit.I was bored infact that I started following the patterns on my floral pillows. Few minutes later, the pounding on the door grabbed my intention.The door suddenly opened and Issa popped her head in,"Can I come in?" She asked."Well your head is already in you might as well welcome your body in too", I humored.She trudged to my bed and carefully sat by the bedside. Then she narrowed her eyes at me her lips curling into a smile,"What?" I asked after a minute of piercing silence."Am just trying to figure out why you are mad and who you are mad at"What sort of question was that."You know very well why am mad. You all kept secrets from me. You know I hate secrets and am mad at all of you""It wasn't our secret to share

    "I think we are done for today, don't you think?" I grunted pushing the abdominal roller away.Ava sat on the mat looking rather disappointed and although I didn't want to intervene in her personal matters, I felt the need to.Since I went back for the equipment she had been acting strangely...well she did act strangely at times but she wasn't quite herself today.I sat on the mat next to her, my hands on my knees as I stared at her,"So...how was the date?"She rolled her eyes and I chuckled."That bad huh?" I asked.She quirked a brow turning her head so that we could be at a level with her."He lives with his mom",she grumbled."And that's bad because?""Are you seriously asking me that? He's a gamer, spends all his time playing videogames in his parents' basement. And before you ask, yes he told me all that""Atleast he is honest", I joked,"I mean he did come clean about his living situation""He is not my type, Niklaus. I just don't understand why all men can't be like you",she j

    Jealousy. Google described jealousy as the feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages.I didn't know her nor of her achievements and possessions so there was no way I was jealous even though it took a couple of minutes for them to remember my presence in the room.After they parted from the hug, Niklaus turned to me paving way for me to get a glimpse of Ava clearly. She had an oval face, full lips, black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and don't get me started on her body. She was a ten over ten.I suspected she wasn't any of Niklaus' relatives otherwise I would have met her. And it really got me thinking how she got inside the house since there was a code to unlock the doors, unless she knew the code."Ava, this is-"I cut Niklaus off."I'm Isabella, nice to meet you", I greeted."You didn't tell me about her",Ava slapped his chest slightly and Niklaus laughed. He laughed.A whole thunderous chuckle when he was

    He was so irritating. I felt like smacking that smug of his face the minute he said 'I was his'.Just who did he think he was, he was crazy if he thought that I would kiss him in an instant. And dad! Ooh I was so mad at dad.Since when did he start liking Niklaus. They hated each other, well atleast I thought so. I trudged down the hallway remembering each room by heart.I remembered my old bedroom and just down the hall to the left was his room.The very same room where we lay together in each other's arms watching Stranger things. I found myself smiling recalling how he would ask what was so special with 'Steve Harrington'. Steve Harrington was everything to the female population. He was hot, funny and whoo don't get me started on his hair.I stood just outside my old room turning the knob and opening the door. Not only was the room clean but it was the same. As if I never left in the first place, I walked in closing the door behind me.The same vanity table, the same purple sheets

    I cringed feeling her tear up on my chest. I knew she would be stubborn but I hadn't expected her to cry. I expected her to hit me, to hurt me but not to cry.Though she did hurt me, I could feel the metallic taste of fresh blood on my mouth and my cheek was numb.She was really strong than she imagined.I run my fingers in her hair, feeling it's silkiness. She sniffled only to step away from me as if my touch was burning her."No",she wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand,"this isn't right"It's right, baby. Everything between us feels right. I haven't felt this way since you left.I wanted to tell her, to scoop her in my arms and tell her everything on my mind.Her eyes rose to meet mine and for a brief moment, I saw her gasp lightly."I did that?"She pointed to my face only then did I remember the little cut on my lip."It's not your fault. Don't mind it, I sort of deserved it", I chuckled trying to make her feel less guilty."Am not a monster like you, Niklaus.
