"Yes I’m here in VI, I’ll quickly get the document then I’ll be on my way." Ken assured the person on the other end of the line as he opened the door, got in and shut it behind him before he cut the call and shoved his cell phone into his jacket pocket then he took the stairs two at a time. When he got to his office he found the place scrubbed clean and nodded his approval. He was going to make his secretary get the proposal for the Magnus Hope Centre bid but Ken wanted to do this himself as he could not afford any mistakes that could cost him the coveted bid which he'd worked so hard to get, he had a feeling that this project would make K.C constructions an even bigger name in the country not to mention his recent appearance on the Daily Times as one of the infamous Victoria Island Billionaires alongside many big name young entrepreneurs like him. Ken frowned suddenly when he couldn't find the file at the place where he'd kept it, frustrat
CHAPTER THREEVivian huffed, she was about to protest but thought better of it and got in instead. They were silent on the way back. After Vivian had changed out of the work clothes she'd forgotten to take off before she ran off, she came down stairs and found that Ken had made dinner, he asked her to have a seat to which she didn't protest as she hadn't had anything to eat that afternoon, they both ate in silence except for the clanging of the cutlery. The tension at the dinner table was palpable. They were both silently hurting and angry at each other, Ken doesn't let himself trust easily as he had learned to depend on himself all his life because he didn't want to be vulnerable, and the only people he made an exception to were Markus his best friend and Yemisi. Vivian had come as a pleasant surprise to him, Ken didn't want to fall in love but she drew him in with her charming charisma and kind heart he'd trusted her but she betrayed him with someone who meant the world to
CHAPTER FOURHe'll be damned if he let her leave with his child Ken thought to himself.He couldn't sleep. And after two hours of tossing and turning he gave up. The rain had finally stopped and the wind blowing through the curtains was a bit chilly.He couldn't get Vivian's words out of his head, it was not possible that Markus could betray him like that he was like a brother to him they've known each other for practically all of their lives. On the streets they only had each other. But Yemisi had been his friend in college and there was nothing that suggested she had any feelings for him, granted she'd been clinging onto him for the past few months since he'd broken up with Vivian. Could Vivian have been right? Could she have been set up?Ken remembered that day vividly, it was the day before they were to have the white wedding and Yemisi was there at his place telling him all about Vivian and Markus' affair imploring him to finally see his fiancée's t
CHAPTER FIVEHow dare he? Vivian wanted to lash out furiously at him, how could he do this after she bared her heart to him last night? This means that he hadn't believed a word she said to him last night. She felt a stab in her heart but told herself no more, Ken can go rot in hell for all she cares but she would not let this madness continue."I'm leaving now." She said steely and hoped that her voice was stern enough to make him understand that he shouldn't think about coming after her or her child. But she was surprised when Ken held her arm halting her exit.Vivian wanted to protest but one look in his eyes and she saw the promise in their depths, imploring her to trust him. Common sense told her to run while she still had the chance but instinct told her to give him the benefit of the doubt. But hadn't her instinct failed her before? She was tempted to go with her common sense nevertheless she was willing to wait and see how all these w
NANNY TO THE BILLIONAIRE'S DAUGHTERBlurbOne mistake that will either make or break them.For many years Marcus Armstrong was unable to get over the death of his wife, to him no other woman could ever measure up to her but when the eccentric Cassandra, his daughter’s nanny effectively puts him in his place, Marcus wondered how he hadn't taken any notice to her before as sparks begin to fly. He knew she was off limits, but Marcus couldn't stay away.Will Cassandra be the one to finally piece back that missing part of him or will he be the one to shatter her dreams?CHAPTER ONECassandra had never seen Marcus so furious to the point that he looked so scary, she was only relieved that Joan wasn't here to witness it. The poor child had been in a lot of pain from her fall on the swing earlier and they'd just returned from the hospital with her arm in a cast which was why Marcus was so mad.Cassandra caught herself thinking how utterly
CHAPTER TWO"Daddy is really angry isn't he?" Cassandra looked at the adorable little girl who looked every bit like a princess even with her arm in a cast. Those intense dark eyes that were just like her father's were filled with emotion as she gazed up at Cassandra.Cassandra wasn't surprised at all that Joan knew exactly how her father's mood was today so she tried to think of a better way to respond as she helped the girl sit up being careful not to aggravate her injured arm."Does it hurt a lot?""Only a little. Daddy got angry at you because of me." Joan said tearfully."No my dear it's not your fault at all what happened was an accident." Cassandra assured her."I didn't mean to make him so angry, I just wanted daddy to come home more often and spend time with me." Cassandra was appalled at the girl's admission."What did you say? You did this to yourself on purpose?" Cassandra couldn't it. She was boiling with rage she thought she might e
CHAPTER THREEWhat was she thinking saying all that to him he was her boss for goodness sake? Sure he might not get the daddy of the year award but who was she to judge him or question how he chose to live his life, he was single and good looking as well as extremely wealthy there's got to be a lot of women after him, and there were a lot it's only fair that he helped himself to some of those beauties. Cassandra must admit that she'd been furious at him last night partly because he'd had so many gorgeous women on his arm yet he'd never once looked her way no matter how much she tried to get his attention.She waited at the foot of the stairs as he descended down it, her breath caught in her throat at his fresh looks and she felt her heart doing a somersault across her chest. Marcus plunged his hands into his pants pocket as he got to the landing below where she stood."About last night," she started, looking down at her toes. "I'm sorry for what I
CHAPTER FOURJoan's squeal of delight was music to Cassandra's ears. They'd checked into the Victoria Crown Hotel and resort yesterday afternoon, the weather was spectacular and the view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. Cassandra had also fantasised about a day on the beach with warm sand beneath her bare feet and feel the warm breeze on her face as she gazed out across the vast atlantic ocean it's nice to be part of this little adventure. It was close to holiday time and Cassandra could see different people checking into the hotel; newlyweds, couples obviously coming to celebrate their wedding anniversaries, by this time tomorrow she knew the beach would be crowded if not later today but it was nice to be surrounded by so much happiness for once and Joan seemed really pleased with the outdoors, her arm was healing nicely thanks to the pain killers and fuzzy feelings of love from her daddy. Cassandra had never seen the little girl so happy before she smiled fee
CHAPTER FIVE"You're really good at this." Marcus commented. They were playing a game of Ludo that evening in their suite and Cassandra had won three times in a row. "Why do I get the feeling that you want me drunk huh?" he said as he reached for the bottle of beer and poured himself a shot."The loser get to take a shot, that's what we agreed on and I won fair and square. I don't have any ulterior motive." Cassandra wiggled her brows at him.The game began to be more intense and Cassandra swallowed her first shot grimacing when the insipid tepid liquid burned her throat whoever made this didn't have the sense to make it less distasteful. She blinked rapidly as her eyes watered."Um I was thinking that we should talk about what happened earlier today...with Joan." Cassandra licked her dried lips. For a moment she thought he wasn't say anything, he had a far away look on his face."You know, when Natasha died in that awful terror attack I felt like a
