Chapter 010|Her father's daughter
Chapter 010|Her father's daughterShe strolled out of her room to have a second opinion of her clothing choice since it was 5:30 am and she still had a lot of time to spare. Especially as she starts work at 8.  "Wow." Chucks whispered, his eyes wide in surprise as he gave her a quick appraisal from head to toe, his eyes trying to take in the transformation.   He was on the porch, his hand around a mug full of coffee and his eyes which were on his computer, now on her.   "You look like one of those working-class, disciplined women on magazines. You normally don't laugh, so it isn't hard to shimmy into this new job description."   She scowled at him. He abandoned his cup of coffee, but yet kept it beside him.   "That is it.. the air of a confident ruthless assistant to the Governor. Least I forget as your manager, I am entitled to 10% of that income among other miscellaneous benefi

Chapter 011|You have us
Chapter 011|You have usTaiwo stared at the curvaceous beautiful woman in front of him, who had a daring and very arrogant attitude that both intrigued and amused him. She had in not more than 5 minutes made him actually see her.    She was a nice surprise to him because you don't get to see a woman with such a cocky and smug grin every day. He hates to know that she won't last too because well, no one has but being a Governor most times could get boring, especially when you have the same boring schedules, the same pre-planned meetings with people you can't stand the sight of, but have to act cordially with for the camera.   "Your conference call with the commonwealth chairman is in Ten minutes. Your mails have been separated from and compiled into three categories, treat as urgent, love messages, and Friends, relatives, and acquaintances mails." She informed him, about to leave.   "Miss Bolanle," he called out.

Chapter 012|I crave to spill his blood
Chapter 012|I crave to spill his blood"I'm sorry, Sir. It is just that__"   "Taiwo the Governor is a Mark I'm set on killing not just because I was sent to, not because it was an instruction I was supposed to carry out even without asking questions but because it is a need. I crave to spill his blood. And if I never retreated from killing other faceless marks that I never bothered to find out their crimes, yet his I have stuck in my damn head why do you think I'll ever fucking retreat just because he is a glorified walking dead in Power?"   "I'm sorry." His voice was firm and curt.   He wasn't scared of her anymore. There was respect but the scare was over which she found puzzling. What has he been scared of? Her or the thought that her intentions have changed.   "So," he swallowed, "What is the status of your operation?"   She swiveled in her chair remembering the hardly eventful time

Chapter 013|Some lives are more precious than others
Chapter 013|Some lives are more precious than othersJasmine rushed towards Taiwo's desk the minute he was out thankful that he was finally leaving the office with her in it.   Her gaze met the webcam directly facing his mahogany desk precautionarily because although she had already been planning this for a long time with Chucks who was already with a pre-recorded video of Taiwo's empty office which by infiltrating the capitol's security wall, he would make to be seen rather than her snooping around.   She grinned widely noting the red beeping light was off, and although she was aware of Chucks' genius, she had been a bit scared that he just might not be possible to gain access to them but once again Chucks was proving to her how insanely good he was with his gadget and though pride squeezed her heart she couldn't help the anxiousness and worry that followed knowing that he was way farther from normal.  It was a conflicting fee

Chapter 014|Kill me and hide my body?
Chapter 14|Kill me and hide my body?She shook her head, surprised to see a pistol, hanging out from Taiwo's jacket as he hurriedly came in.   It was unlike him to be so forgetful and careless about such little details. The man was a symbol of composed and cold himself.   Aside from the fact that he was 10 minutes late, which was unlike him, he looked really worried.   "Good morning," she greeted, as chirpy as a bird.   "Good morning Miss. Bolanle." He whispered, giving her a thankful nod as she offered him a cup of coffee.   No sugar, no milk. She read about his likes and dislikes more than once. So much that her employee manual now has ears at its edges.   He seemed disturbed and she could see through his cold demeanor, that he was on the brink of losing it.   "You will want to tuck in your gun if I were you. Not the least ideal for an employee to se

Chapter 016|Even the Devil was once an Angel
Chapter 016|Even the Devil was once an AngelSo, the more she looked with that thought in her head, the image in front of her was beginning to morph and soon, she didn't notice a man that had such a beautiful grin he hid perhaps because he knew the effect it had on people and kind of make him human but she could see him as an ice King that was once a boy. Vulnerable, unloved, scared.  He wasn't the Governor then and didn't wield so many powers. She just needed to remind him of how much he wanted to feel something rather than focus on him now that didn't feel anything at all because, for all she knew, a heart still beats inside this dear man, this moment confirms it, all she needed was to remind it and teach it how to beat faster because after all, even the Devil was once an Angel.   They drove back to the capitol in absolute silence.***Jasmine dropped the complaint document Taiwo had ordered her to file against the government sch

Chapter 017|He needs a therapist, not you
Chapter 017|He needs a therapist, not youIt was past closing hours but Jasmine had stayed behind to work on a drafted contract that she was meant to submit the first thing on Taiwo's desk for his signatures.   As she worked, she hummed softly.   Her hands stilled on her system as she felt his presence before she saw him. His lurking intimidating aura demanded attention.   His guards were down, probably because he had not expected her to still be in the office or he was way tired to pretend but, whichever it was it gave her a glimpse of Taiwo behind his office because at that moment he looked his real 28 years of age and slightly even more vulnerable. She stood up, meeting his gaze.   She could perceive the unmistaken stench of the alcoholic beverage, Tequila. Interesting, Drinking too.   His eyes drank in her every movement like a predator to prey as she tried to grasp what was happenin

Chapter 018|Until I take everything I give him
Chapter 018|Untill I take everything I give himHis eyes were on a book but his mind was in on a reckless search.   Ever since the one time slip he had with his assistant, Jasmine, he has never been himself.   A part of him wanted her to reject his offer, stare into his eyes, and tell him how delusional and wrecked she thinks he was to even preposition such an offer.   Another part of him just wanted her, had wanted her from the very first time he had set his eyes on her. The very first day she had entered his office, confidence in her eyes, defiance in her tone.   Normally on Friday evenings, he should be calling one of his standby girls, he should be booking a hotel and a room with another name, he should be ball deep into another woman allowing her to free him momentarily of the stress and thoughts, but still so much in control that he knows how to grab a gun if he suspects foul play.  &nb

Chapter 019|Love just makes things tardy and messy
Chapter 019|Love just makes things tardy and messyHe nods at her, a silent approval and immediately she lowered herself to the seat in front of her. He dropped the book with a huff almost immediately giving up his pretense which was by the way so unconvincing.   "Before you tell me your answer I need to let this all out. Friday night, was a big mistake, I don't kiss ever. What we are going to be having is just sex, kissing makes it too intimate. Secondly, I must always be in control, always and I don't give heads ever__"   Her lips curved into a smug grin mentally, she was a virgin, not a prude, and know what heads meant and had an idea why a man like him can never go down on any woman, he will be lowering his guard, bending down in front of her, sacrificing his ego and worshipping her body.    ".. I should always be in control, I have to. And lastly, one of the rules most of my sex partners have failed in keeping is

Chapter 020|My dirty little secret
Chapter 020|My dirty little secret"Third rule." He continued.   Jasmine rewatched yet another make-up tutorial immediately after staring at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but notice something was missing.   She grabbed her foundation and dusted it on her face, awkwardly just like the girl on her phone with the too wide a smile was doing.   "No emotional ties, no emotional support, don't expect to be meeting my family or friends and shit like that."   She gave him a smug grin, "Because you have no family or friends, the last time I checked?"   He scoffed. "No, because you're my dirty little secret amongst others and that's all."   The smug grin fell off her face even as she looked away not wanting to give him the impression that he had hurt her with his blunt insult even though she couldn't help but feel that was his aim. He wanted her to back out from the agre
