He gave her a room on the ground floor while his was upstairs, on the first floor. The large penthouse even had a fountain in the middle and a large balcony where all of the city could be viewed. "Can I pay you after I get my salary?" She asked him as he showed her the room. "I don't think I asked you about money yet" he replied, not liking how she was so worried to pay him. "You might not need my money, but I will not stay if I won't pay you" Veronica told him, as she placed her suitcase inside which his butler bought just a few minutes ago. "God really made women complex! I didn't say I won't take it or if I don't need it. I said I haven't asked you yet so you shouldn't be worried about it. You can pay me whenever you'll be able to" Bernard raised his hands in air and gave up. She felt embarrassed for her rash reply. "I think you should rest now! See you at breakfast" he wished her and left the room. She was dumbfounded. All night her overthinking left no room to sleep. Turni

"I think you're busy Mr Bernard! We should talk some other time, maybe in the morning?" She suggested as she hesitated to step forward. She couldn't see his face and it looked like he was not in a good mood. Maybe she was afraid of drunk men. "Please come forward Miss Veronica!" He said in a monotone, turning his face to the side but not enough for her to see him. She hesitantly stepped forward to him and stood two feet away. She didn't know if he was alright or in a bad mood. She didn't know if she gave him any reason to be mad at. She was counting her overall encounters with him during the day when he suddenly turned around. "I thought we should discuss my rent, that's why I came here. I just got my salary" she mumbled in a slow voice, trying not to make him mad which to her astonishment he already was with that straight face. "Where's your phone?" He asked looking up in her eyes, and she got nervous. "It's in my bag" she replied. "Then take it out!" He commanded. She got sc

From that onwards she never protested again as Bernard dropped her to university everyday and when she would get off, his driver would come to pick her up and drop at the hotel. Life became easy for her momentarily. She did not realize how much she was getting used to all the luxuries he had provided her. Unknowingly everything was becoming a part of her life. On weekends they would spend some time talking over lunch, sometimes they would sit together in the library as he would work on his laptop and she would complete her assignments. On late, cold nights after work, they would sit together for a cup of coffee in the lawn and gaze at the shining stars. They both started to like each other's company, as she realised that he was really a decent man and nothing grumpy as she used to think. All he ever wanted was her presence beside him, and there were no more reasons to make their unnamed relationship complicated any further. She also realised that whatever he was doing for her was

Waves crashing against the rocks and the moon seeping through the clouds. The sea roared against the calm sky and it was all a melody to hear for the ones who could understand. It was a beautiful hut alongside the beach, furnished with glass as main material. Almost dreamy, it looked like straight out of a fairytale to her. He opened the car door for her himself. She stepped down, taking his hand as their eyes touched each other momentarily and soon parted. She was in awe of the beauty in her sight. He took her hand in his, as he led her toward the main door. He could see the awestruck expressions on her face and satisfaction bloomed in his heart. That's what he wanted, to see her happy and surprised. "Did you rent it?" She asked as they stepped inside and he closed the door on their back. "I own it, Veronica!" He felt a little disappointed by her words. Why would he bring her to a rental house? But of course her imagination was limited in that regard, she didn't actually know ho

The very next morning she woke up all alone in that comfy bed, with the sight of calming sea through the large window. She rubbed her eyes as she looked over, but of course she was all alone in that large room. She got up and realised that she had been wearing a silk night suit which he gave her last night. Taking a bath and brushing her teeth, she took off the night suit and wore her usual last night's dress. She descended the stairs and found him busy in the kitchen, as he whipped the coffee and placed the cups in the tray. "Good morning!" She greeted him with a smile. "Good morning pretty lady! Did you sleep well?" He raised his head to see her and this was what he actually wanted to experience. The sight of her waking up with him all smiling for him. "I did" she replied as she leaned over the counter and watched the delicious breakfast on the platter. "You made all this?" She asked him in bewilderment. "Yess and it's 07:00 am now! So we should better eat it and go back if y

After the incredible last night, she couldn't help but shake off the feeling of last night. She was so embarrassed to even face Bernard. When she woke up first in his bed, she turned around to see his face. He looked so handsome and calm while sleeping. The devilish face was no more fuming. She wanted to stroke his jaw, lock her fingers in his soft hair but contained herself. He was shirtless with his perfect chest on display. She wanted to stay in his arms and feel his skin, the most irresistible urge she ever felt. But instead she slipped from his bed quietly, only embarrassed to leave his room in panties and a shirt. She found her discarded jeans in the kitchen and thanked God a million times that Lara hadn't seen it yet. After going to her room, she locked it and took deep breaths for a good whole minute before going to shower and clear up her head. She was so ashamed to even see him at the dinner table, that she told Lara that she don't want to eat. But Bernard was another ma

Her night was ruined and there was no deny in that. She couldn't keep up with the further orders any more. She just wanted to nestle back into her room and cry out her heart until she would feel light. The emotions overwhelmed her and she just hoped that she wouldn't have to face Bernard in such state or he would ask her million questions and wouldn't let go of it until that boy dies. Without telling anyone, she simply disappeared and went back to the penthouse. Lara welcomed her inside and she didn't even try to force a smile. Her lashes were wet and eyes were heavy, she knew smiling fake would be of no use. But luckily she didn't ask her anything. "Is Mr Bernard home yet?" She asked Lara in case. "Yes, he is in his study room" she pointed in the direction and Veronica got it. She couldn't go to her room anymore or he would come to her immediately. She would face him and try to hide her emotions until he would be satisfied that there is nothing wrong. She dropped her bag on the c

The very next day was planned by Bernard as he wanted Veronica to meet that special woman he had been telling her about. She changed into a beautiful, light summer dress which was dark maroon in colour, reaching below her knees. Pairing them with sneakers and studs as jewellery, she looked minimal and yet elegant. She was waiting for him, taking rounds in the balcony as she walked impatiently. He told her that it was 10 minutes of work and he'll be back very soon but now almost an hour had passed and he was still not here. She fished out her phone out of her small shoulder bag and started dialling his number. He picked up on the second call. "Hello?" She said first. "Veronica?" He answered on the other side. "I'm waiting for an hour now, tell me if you're coming or not" she complained in a sarcastic manner and he sighed on the other side as he smiled. "I'm in the parking lot, can you come down?" He asked her and she was relieved to know that finally he was here. "Yeah, coming"

The days passed in a blur, as he was busy with his office work while she ran back and forth between her classes and completing assignments. Her internship was coming up and she was really worried about it. She didn't decide yet which hospital would be best suited for her. But she had a month to decide so she convinced herself not to worry much about that and enjoy her semester break which was going to start next week. After all these assignments and tests drained her badly. It was this beautiful hazy evening, she sat on the couch completing her administration of the psychology test as her brows creased in confusion. Lara came in the living room with a cup of coffee while she played with the lead pencil between her lips, trying to figure out the scoring. "Would you like to have lunch yet?" Lara asked her politely to which she denied politely, making an excuse she was not hungry yet. In fact, she wanted to eat with Bernard and was awaiting his arrival. It was quite late than usual a

He booked a 7 day trip to Bora Bora with the help of his secretary. From making reservations in the 5 star hotel to whatever their 7 day trip included, everything was arranged beforehand. He knew he had to buy a million dollar ring now to propose to her.Veronica's semester was almost ending and she was preparing for her final exams. So he prepared the trip accordingly as they would leave during her semester break. She had no idea what was going on in his mind while he was so worried about everything, he wanted this surprise to be perfect. Today, all of a sudden he decided to pick her up after university. He wanted to take her shopping so she could buy some clothes as she had a very poor collection of her own and she never accepted anything from him. Even though Bernard was aware that she would deny this offer, he wanted to take a chance. "What are you doing here?" She exclaimed as soon she saw him getting out of the car and coming towards her. All the girls and boys were staring at

"you must be tired, ask Lara to give you food!" He ignored her question as if she never asked in the first place. "I'm asking did you cry? Why your eyes...." She stepped forward and tried to touch him but he grabbed her hand midway. "Don't act as if you care for me Veronica....." His voice was utterly painful and she could see right through him, how miserable and exhausted he was. "I do care for you!" She declared in a loud voice as her own eyes teared up. "You don't.....you don't. You wouldn't have left me all alone if you cared even a little. You know how much I love you, yet you did" he struggled to control his tears but still they glistened on the brink of his eyes. "I do care for you! Please don't say that" She started crying as she hugged him, hid her face in the crook of his neck, pulling him close to herself. His warm tears dripped in her hair as he didn't know how to respond. He loved her, so much that it was hurting now. He pulled her tighter so she could feel it in h

A man was tied to the chair, dripping in blood from head to toe. His nails seemed to be plucked out, the man was dizzy and nauseous as Bernard had a knife in his hand. He immediately turned around as he was forced to look at who opened the door without his permission. As soon as he saw Veronica standing in the doorway, he closed his eyes momentarily to sweep away the frustration and that deadly look in his eyes. "What are you doing here?" He asked rather casually as he placed the knife on the table and started washing his hands in the nearest sink while not looking at her. "Who is he? Why are you doing this to him?" She shouted as she tried to get closer to the man but another bodyguard stood in her way. Blocking her from getting too close to him. She looked at Bernard in disappointment while she frowned. Bernard wiped his hands with the towel as he walked in her direction and grabbed her hand while he walked out of the room. He took her into another room and shut the door with a

After they came back from Aunt Clarissa's house, they had the weekday lined up. He had so much work to do and she had her pending assignments and exams. It was a regular Monday and she was busy in the library, working on the computer in a hurry. She had to submit the report before 06:00 pm. Her fingers aggressively moved on the keyboard as her eyes focused on the screen. She had to complete it early before going to her job as she didn't have much time left. It took her 30 minutes to complete it and as she soon clicked the button of submission, she sighed leaning back in her seat. She closed her eyes temporarily as it had been a tough struggle and she finally got over it. To her surprise someone passed her a cold coffee. As soon she looked up to see the owner, her eyes widened in horror. Sam smiled at her and pointed the drink at her again. She stood abruptly, tossing the drink away harshly. It fell on the floor and spilled few metres away. He was shocked by her reaction while she

She was leaning on to the washbasin counter, watching herself in the mirror. She knew why Bernard bought her here, to get the approval of his Aunt Clarissa so they could get married. But she was not ready yet!She didn't know why she felt so uneasy about marriage, facing failure all her life, she was scared to give birth to a child. She had this belief that she will never be a good mother and that's why bearing a child was a nightmare for her. She was jumbled up in her thoughts when she was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door. Bernard stepped in, with his hawk-like eyes on her. "You took a long time" he said with a low voice as he stepped towards her, while closing the door firmly on his back. "I was just coming" She replied but he covered the distance between them in two strides, as his hand travelled up to her face and fisted her hair. Her hands clenched the edge of the counter behind her as she was pressed against it. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable down there,
