The worst nightmare

Allie's POV "Allie. Allie! "Mr Austin yelled my name repeatedly. We are at the shooting scene for our new magazine project. I was the one assigned to the task, but I didn't understand why my boss wouldn't let me focus. I sighed tiredly and aggressively flung the document on the nearest table before reversing in his direction. I was already stressed at the rate at which I'd been sent on errands the past few days. My boss, Mr Austin has severally caused serious headaches for me and of course, I couldn't complain because I would be laid off, which is something I don't yearn for. I have been working as a staff at the "Diamond" magazine for the past two years. I loved the job even though the Smiths aren't pleased with my type of company; Mainly because they have their firm "Royals" a brand that is worth billions of dollars on its own. I was offered to be one of their advertisement shooting directors, but I slumped the proposal. Immediately after I was done with College, I was fortunat

Captured in the moment

Allie's POV "You are fired, Allie!! " Mr. Austin thundered outrageously. "Wha..t?!" I stuttered as my knees weakened in distress. "You heard me!" he yelled again. "What!" I screamed again. I was beyond speechless to say another word. I know this man wouldn't take it easy but isn't this going too far? Firing me out of holding grudges from what happened yesterday. "Please I can explain, boss" I implored, walking towards him with wobbling legs, my heart thudding with each step I took. I desperately wished to jerk out of such a hazardous nightmare. "I woke up late," I revealed truthfully and bit the tip of my lips painfully. "I didn't even waste time when I discovered that I was late. Please, I won't be late from today henceforth" I blabbed, but he seemed to be more focused on his wristwatch. "I understand that you have other options. Still, you can't just be slack in your work. I won't tolerate that!" he snickered. He had a satisfied expression on his face like he loved

A knight for the night

Allie's POV I squinted my eyes severally as I jerked out of unconsciousness by the attempt of someone nearly peeling off my shorts to remove my cell phone which I had kept in my back pocket. "Uhn you are awake? You passed out for 20 minutes only" Their leader chuckled mockingly. It was easier to indicate because of the voice earlier. Everything flashed through my head as I recalled instantly that I was apprehended. The piece of clothing used to wrap my face has been withdrawn. I breathed helplessly trying to get my phone back, but the bulky man was stronger, and since I was also struggling with my tied legs and hands, I could not easily get it. "This would make our work easier," He acknowledged with a slight nod and yanked my hand to the phone which was now in his grasp. He was trying to get my fingerprint to unlock it. Immediately the phone unlocked, he moved away from me. "20 missed calls by lovely brother! Is that billionaire Aaron?" The leader asked, still unsure that I w

Relieved from the tension

Allie's POV "Allie," Aaron called again. I spun around triumphantly and used the sharp tip of my finger to pinch my other arm with the hope that I was hallucinating. Unfortunately, he was here, his huge figure standing at the gate. I should have known that someone might be sent to come pick me up, but I never predicted that it would be Aaron himself. I guess his millions of dollars are worth it. "Aaron," I whispered nervously while scratching my neck. "Long time, no see" I greeted dumbly, unable to recognize my voice because of how frightened and anxious I was. I kept fiddling with my hands while Aaron made dominating footsteps towards me. I froze at the spot. He stopped when it was merely a hairsbreadth between us. "Was he trying to hug me?" I wondered. I was surprised that he moved that close to me. He used to scrunch his face in disgust at my appearance. I took a step backward to give space between us. "Do you know how worried I.. we were?" he questioned and hastily gr

Home sweet home

Allie's POV Mrs Smith decided to disentangle from the hug for me to settle into my old space which has already been cleaned by the house help. She insists that I should visit Mr Smith in his room tomorrow forenoon. I grabbed the towel and walked into the bathroom for a refreshing shower. It took me a while to leave the bathtub. I walked back into my room contemplating on what colour of nightdress to put on. I decided to go with my favourite lacquer, which is blue. I suddenly remember my little kitty. Roaming my eyes around the room, I saw him wrapped up behind the dressing table. I guess one of the maids might have brought him into the room. I signed in solace, then used a finger to lose my towel from the tip. I walked towards the huge mirror that hung like a chandelier but just above my dressing table to check myself out. "What if those people touched me like they thought they would have?" I shivered at the thought. "I don't think I would survive it and my boss, Oh good Lord,

A deal on his personal trysts

Allie's POV I shifted closer to Mr. Smith, eyebrows furrowed together. Perplexed and curious about what this sneaky man could be up to. He cleared his throat one more time before he spoke up. "I want you to convince Aaron to get married. To have even at least a girlfriend. Just a lady that could be by his side" "I don't get what you are trying to say, " I said, shaking my head sideways, incompetent at accumulating everything at once. "I want you to talk to him, or perhaps get him someone for him to date." The elderly man repeated in a pleading tone. "You want me to persuade him to get a woman? A lady to be called his? " I said, staring at him like he had gone, psycho. Since when did I become a matchmaker? I raised my possibly wrinkled eyebrows at him for him to acknowledge my questions, hoping I misheard him "Yeah..h" Mr.Smith breathed and smiled. "Yeah!? " I scoffed, obviously feeling unsettled by his sudden request. There must be a vital reason he needed me to do th

Live with him?

Allie's POV I was not patient for him to finish his sentence before sauntering out of the room with a thudding heart. Aaron did not skip to give me that suspicious glare that made him cut off whatever he was about to let out, but I made sure I eavesdropped to hear his first utterance. I huddled my left ear to the wicket, my butt pointed north side after I had made sure no one is moving towards the passageway just then, I heard him holler at his father "Why did you refuse to use your medications?! Are you planning to kill yourself? " I huffed at his rudeness. Spoilt brat! Till today, I still don't have any idea why these two, father and son don't seem to get along. It's a quizzical and logical something which I got no answers to. I puffed out, relieved that he did not hear a dim of our conversation. Although my heart was still whipping non-stop, my clarification made my breathing subside a little. I thought I had passed through moments of being a scary cat for this man, gue

In which she gave in

"Live with me" he suggested, not daring to meet her gaze, not because he was scared but nervous about her reaction to what he said. "What! you are not trying to say that I should live in the same building as you? Are you? " she asked, with eyes almost popping out of its socket hoping that was not the message he was trying to convey. "What's wrong with that? and by the way, that wasn't my intent, but mum thinks it's safer if you live with me" he mumbled, rolling his eyes but he knew deep down he just lied against his mother. Her face hunkered up. She scoffed in incredulity that Mrs.Smith had intended to make her stay with Aaron. Aaron of all people! This had better be some kind of quip. She pressed her hands on her lap and folded her lips in themselves like someone who was trying to quell herself from lashing out their frustration. She was discerned not to give in to this certain whiff of theirs even if it was practically suggested by Mrs.Smith as Aaron supposed. She recalled tho

If I had known

I woke up at dusk and my body was all weak. My vision is blurry for a moment trying to adjust to my surroundings till everything clicks. I sluggishly stretch my whole length on the comfy bed even though my eyes are not yet brightly open. It took me some minutes to remember that I had taken my siesta in a room different from mine.I groaned and reluctantly stood up. I was as famished as someone who hadn't eaten for days. I dragged my feet out of the room staring at the building having no idea where to find the kitchen. Nevertheless, I decided to wander around if I could get any clue. I successfully found the magnificent cooking space after some time. I used a few minutes to contemplate whether to make Aaron's food with mine then I decided to go with my compassionate mind and cook for him too I settled for mashed potato since that was the only ingredient I found. I left his potion in the stakes. Not even bothering to engage in food etiquette, I sauntered towards the living room and

Another bloody morning

The remaining days of the week passed away with me sleeping, going through my credentials, and taking advantage of the opportunity to tour the mansion. It was so bland. Mum gave me a buzz once and our conversation ended just as it started. Today is Sunday, a day that is supposed to be a relaxing day for workers but Aaron is nowhere to be found. Even the day before, I retained going out to peep if I would get a glimpse of him but neither did he show up nor call me. During those four days, I only saw him in the morning, which means I had slept while he was back. I ignored him like a plague after all he warned me to stay out of his business. Deep down, I knew it was not the right thing to do since my days here are limited. I precisely need to familiarize myself and focus on myself and my new job for now so I can tackle my deal. Before I slept off, I had set the alarm to 6:00 am and messaged Aaron which he did not reply. "I am yet to be with my car. Can you notify Richard to help pic
