All Chapters of Tattooed stranger : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

EDWARD’S POV I could hear her little legs run, and her tiny voice screamed “Uncle” as soon as I set foot into the house. “Uncle!!” she squealed and rushed at me “Hey there, my little princess; how did your day go?” “Uhmm, boring; I did my homework, ate , and played games on my iPad, but I got bored; I had no one to play with or a nanny in my company.” “And since when did you start wanting a nanny? I thought you were grown and did not want anyone looking after your grown self,” I asked, surprised at the new development “Well, I am grown; my Miss Kathrine explained to me that you don't think of me as a child; you are only looking out for me because you care about me so much; you know you could have just explained it to me?” “Uh, yeah, I could have, but what if you took it the wrong way?” I was glad that at least Katherine was able to convince her that the only reason I was hell-bent on a nanny for her was to make sure she was fine; now I didn't have to deal with the nanny

EDWARD’S POV She was running late on her first day, and I was already fuming with anger. Was it the fact that I had to wait for her to resume before leaving for work? Definitely not; as a matter of fact, I didn't have to wait at all because Lily was already in school, and I could have left if I wanted to. I wanted to ask her about the young man with flowers from yesterday, I needed to be sure her sick brother was her only distraction in looking after Lily.Thirty minutes later, she was walking through my door while struggling with her bag as she entered hurriedly. “Good morning, Edward,” she smiled “It's Mr. Howard, and you are late.” “Yeah, but it wasn't on purpose; I slept la….” “Just spare me the details. Lily has left for school, so take your time and get acquitted with the other staff; I wouldn't want you making silly mistakes.” A nod was all I got from her. I picked up my suitcase and headed to my car. Was I too hard on her? Well, if I was, she had it coming; she

Chapter 15I didn’t know how to approach Edward after this morning encounter, truth is I had no plans of getting into a relationship after Andrew. Maybe a few stringless sex here and there. But the fact that he felt it was in his power to dictate for me was the annoying part. I signed the contract after going through each page at least thrice but found no other unacceptable condition. In fact he was way too generous with his terms, aside the boyfriend part of course.I had three hours every week day and Sundays to visit my brother, weekly allowances for living in and extra allowances for upkeep. Since I don’t visit my brother everyday, I had a lot of time to go about my daily business as I pleased. I wanted to go hand him the signed document but decided against it, giving it to the butler instead. Then went to get ready to visit Kara, today is her off and hopefully she would not be on top of a dick when I get there. “I see you signed it already?” Edward’s voice came out of nowhe

Chapter 17The tension in the air was already suffocating, I kept wondering why a man he just acknowledged as dad would be so cold towards him. The coldness and judgment in his eyes as he seized me up didn’t surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldn’t be the first person to assume I was a whore at first glance especially at the club house, I always found it amusing how being poor was enough reason to be seen in that light. The thought of leaving to my room to give them some privacy crossed my mind but that would only make the grumpy man feel he was right or worsen the whole issue so instead I sat quietly looking everywhere but at them until ‘MARRIAGE!’“Because I already have a fiancée… that’s her over there” My head moved at an unhealthy speed towards the Howards only to realize that Edward was pointing in my direction. I looked behind me for a second wondering if there was an invisible person there.“Katherine baby, please come down here” he said with a cheeky smile. my ears

“Can I kiss you?” My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldn’t step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? It’s so working! Comfortably getting lost in his icy blue eyes, I let him come close. From such proximity all I could say is that God definitely cheated because how could one man be this perfect? His perfect looking lips were seconds away from mine and I couldn’t wait to get a taste. Just like the night I first met him. I could literally feel his lips touching mine when the door suddenly bursts open, fuck!! I wished I could scream at the cockblock, a girl I remember meeting on my first day here, Ama or whatever she said her name was. “Sorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to work” she said almost immediately “It’s okay Ameera, get to work now ” Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to the
