She was falling backwards, but before her body could touch the floor a strong arm circled around her waist, she was flipped over the next second only to land down along with him, she was on top of him. The fall was quite harsh earning a groan from the man, he frowned deeply feeling his back aching. Alan had only wanted to help her out but ended up slipping on the floor as well and fell along with her. A moment of silence passed, then slowly Aileen lifted her face which was buried in his chest, her panicking eyes peeked at him. She blinked when she found him looking at her as well, "I'm sorry, are you okay sir?" Her voice had so much concern for him that for a moment he was reminded of their past, in such situations. He shut his eyes and let out a deep breath, deep down he was grateful that she wasn't hurt. Why did he feel that way? He really hates how he feels sometimes because he gets confused with himself. He opened his eyes again and she was still looking at him with the same emot
Everybody joined the table for dinner except for Aileen, Alan's eyes searched around for her but she wasn't around. He knew why she was acting this way, she was avoiding him and he also thinks that was for the best. The more she stays away from him the more his mind would stay in control. After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms, resting early was the best option for now since they are living tomorrow morning. Alan stared at her door when he was on his way to his room, he told himself not to mind if she had eaten or not, she wasn't a child and he was going to mind his own business. Tiffany jumped on him the moment they entered their room, kissing his neck up to his jaws. "I missed you, my love" with a sigh Alan got her off him, the hurt in her eyes was evident but he wasn't in the right state of mind to do any of this. "Not now, please" he went to the closet to change into his pajamas.Tiffany followed him to change as well, she had a deep frown "Why?" She asked, rummaging thro
"Come on Lily, don't taste my patience anymore!" Why can't she just spit the name already? What was stopping her now when she was the one who called for her? "Ah…. you see… since I'm about to tell you a very important matter concerning my very own boss, so… what I'm trying to say is… this might get me into trouble, lose my job even if the boss finds out… so… don't you think I deserve something to assure my future and that of my children if that happens?" She started to bite her own tongue, not able to show her how shameless she was by going straight to the point. Tiffany scoffed, she knows people like her. People like Lily would never do something without any other motives under their sleeves. She was a greedy mediocre but that was the least of her problems for now, she only needed her to say the name, she was ready to give her anything. "What do you want Lily, name it" she had all confidence as she spoke. "Two million dollars, I need two million dollars and I would tell you the nam
Everybody parted ways after landing at the airport. It was almost evening. Aileen watched her boss leaving with his girlfriend in his black sedan. She was told to report at work tomorrow along with the rest of the workers. Jemmy and her took cabs and went to their respective homes. She gave her address to the taxi driver before she leaned back on the seat, letting her stiff back relax. She wasn't able to relax much at the vacation like how her dear Sunny told her to. She would scold her.if she heard that she was actually turned into a chef cooker for the rest of the crew by Alan, it was all his fault. Two hours later she arrived home, pulling her suitcase with her to the elevator with so much difficulty. "Do you need a hand?" A male voice made her turn, she saw an officially dressed man who had a suitcase on his hand, red hairs and rounded shaped glasses on. "Please, thank you" she really needed a hand, her bag has become quite heavy now that she came back with a lot of gifts for eve
Aileen's POV The next day, Sunny drove us to Leelan's school before she went to her place, she was living at my place helping my mother taking care of my son, according to her Leelan didn't give him a hard time at all during my trip but I know my son better than anyone, he is quite mischievous just like his father. God! He totally ruined my son in every manner, Leelan is so much like his father than Alan himself. I held his hand and walked with him past the gates of his school, he was swinging our hands as we walked, one could see the brightness of his mood today and my heart was warmed up too as I looked at the little guy. I crouched down pinching his cheeks, something that he doesn't like at all but I can't help it, he looks so adorable when he is angry. "Who is the best in the whole world to mama?" I ask with a pout. "Me!" His cheerful voice rang to my ears. "Right! You the most precious to me son, now go and make me proud, okay?" I kiss his forehead and rubbed his hair, "Okay, b
Alan's POV After returning from the vacation, I let Aileen go home for the day even though I knew that I wasn't going to do that. I had to drop by my office and get back to work, compensating for the time that I lost enjoying my birthday vacation. Someone like me can't just sit idle because none of my business operations will run smoothly, not that I wasn't working there as well, it's just that I've lost too much time. Usually, I would've never had any birthday celebration but I planned the trip only to get Aileen hurt, what happened in the end was hurting myself instead. That woman is such a pain in every aspect of my life, even to my manhood. It didn't rest when she was around me, even for a second. And now Tiffany was getting me anxious lately, acting so unlike her normal self. Damn, these women are planning to kill me and it was working. I switched on my laptop and buried my face in it. I should work and get rid of all of these stupid thoughts in my mind, it was the only solutio
Alan watched as the fragile assistant of his cries, it really stings his heart to see her like that, and now she was taking all the blame on herself. "This is all my fault! This…. I'm so sorry" her shaky voice was irritating the man to the core. How is any of this her fault? Mr Sky was at fault! And he was the one who punched him, so why?. Aileen weakly makes her way to the couch, sliding down on it with tears as she grips on the iPad with guilt. "Mrs Fletchers, you need to stop blaming yourself for this, that old man caused all of this and our bouncer boss taught him a lesson" Rafael glared at Alan who was on a phone, staring back at them. "You are just saying that to make me feel good, but i'm the cause of all of this." She wiped her tears away. "What are we going to do now? This scandal has ruined the company, it's all over the news and….. and these comments… God, I can't stand this!" Aileen felt like her head was going burst anytime soon. "Then stop looking at it, who forced you
Few minutes later Aileen arrived at the kindergarten. She took her suitcase with since the driver didn't want to wait for her until she was done with her visit. She only had twenty minutes left, with little difficulty she dragged her suitcase with her inside the kindergarten. She went to speak to the teacher first since the little man was in the middle of the class, he couldn't just leave the class. Being understanding, the teacher let her meet with her son. She stood there watching her wrist watch from time to time, with hope that she would be done before her boss went looking for her. Or else that man would skin her alive, he made sure to add the warning bells to his words last time they talked. "Mommy!" Little Leelan ran out of the class, his hands spread wide. Aileen dropped down the suitcase and crouched down to pick him up, then she hugged the boy warmly without saying a word. "Mommy, it's not time yet for you to pick me up from school, so why are you here?" Confused, Leelan had
