ZACHARY"Come in," I called out when a knock at the door came. "Papa!! I quickly looked up from the paper I was signing with a smile when I saw Nathalie step inside the door with Athena behind her."What is my little princess doing here?" I stood up from my seat, and she quickly hugged my legs. I picked her up and peppered her face with kisses, and her giggles filled my office.I walked to my wife, who was smiling, looking at us, and wrapped one arm around her waist and pecked her lips. We've been married for five years, but it still feels like the first time. My love for her never lessened as the years passed by. Our love for each other keeps getting stronger.I now recover all my memories in the past, and it made me laugh remembering it, as well as regret doing those things to her."Papa, I missed you. That's why I asked Mama to visit you." "You missed me, but we just saw each other this morning, and it is just three in the afternoon," I said, walking to the couch. I settled on the
ATHENA"Athena, you're at the front desk today. I want you to make sure that you look extra pleasant and presentable today. Today the CEO of Anderson Corporation is coming to visit the building, and he wants that everything is perfect in his eyes." My supervisor said,"Okay, Ma'am." "Here, change your uniform with a new one, and retouch your makeup. Mr. Anderson will be here in thirty minutes. Now hurry." I quickly took the uniform from her hand and ran to the lady's room to change and fix myself. I don't want to lose this job. My brother and I are still alive because of this job. I left all my previous works without hesitation because they needed my full time and because they paid high, and it was classy, not the same as my previous jobs: a waitress, a babysitter, a cleaner, a tutor, and more. I'm not picky about a job; as long as I have a salary at the end of the week, I accept it. I couldn't be choosy because of my educational background. I'm only in my first year in college, and
ATHENAHis bodyguards quickly came forward, but he raised his palm, stopping them. I looked at the two men with him, and they were both looking at me, our head, and his secretary in surprise. I couldn't blame them if they looked like that because I, myself, was surprised by what I did, but he is a pervert, and my hand moves on its own. It was my hand's fault and not mine. Yes, convince yourself, whether you like it or not, you'll say bye-bye to your job. My inner thought said, and I mentally smacked my head. "Leave us!!! I jumped in fright at his loud voice, and the people in the room vanished like they just evaporated into thin air. How did they do it? I wonder why, but I don't like to be left behind alone in front of this ranging CEO. If I ever lost my job, which I'm sure I would, I want my body intact without missing limbs. I took a step back, but like an elastic rubber bond, his hand stretched out and held my wrist, pulling me back, and half of my body fell, lying on top of the t
ATHENAIt's been a week since I left Anderson Corporation. A week since I started searching for a new job, and a week passed when I met Devil Anderson. Today is my first day in my new job as a waitress in a cafe. I'm so thankful they hired me because the little money I saved is now gone. I need a new job badly. I still remember what happened after I drenched him with water. I quickly bolted out of the door when I saw the furious look of Mr. Devil Anderson. I ran to the elevator, and I was so thankful that it opened as soon as I was in front of it. I think my guardian angel is watching me at that time. I don't even say goodbye to my supervisor, afraid that the devil will catch me and do something the devil, like him, will do to his prey. I was drenched with sweat with swelling feet when I arrived home. After all, I ran all the way wearing high heels. I wondered how I did it. Maybe because of adrenaline, but I'm thankful I arrived home unharmed except with my swollen feet and aching
I arrived home with red eyes because of crying. I need to find a new job soon, or we will be homeless. I promised my landlord that I would pay him at the end of the month because I was hoping to last longer in my job, but I was wrong. It is all that devil's fault. Why is he doing this to me? What did I do to him for bullying me like this? A sob left my lips, and I slumped on our two-seater sofa in our small living room. "Tin, why are you crying?" My brother appeared from the bathroom. I quickly wiped my tears and smiled at him. "You're home early. It's only one in the afternoon. Why are you here?" He settled beside me and looked at my face, but I avoided his eyes. My brother, even though he was just fifteen years old, was taller and bigger than those kids his age. He stood five feet and nine inches. He got his height from our father, who is six feet and two inches tall, while our mother is five feet and six inches. I, myself, stood five feet and seven inches. "What happened?" He as
ZACHARYIt was already six in the evening when I stood up from my seat. I put on my jacket and went out of my office. Alex and Jason quickly joined me. I know they are just waiting for me in their office so that we can go home together. Alex is my assistant, and Jason is my secretary, and they are both living with me in my own house. Since we were in high school, we were already living together, and when we graduated, my parents gifted me a house and invited them to live with me.I don't want women working beside me because they always flirt. I shuddered with the thought of my previous Secretaries. I'm comfortable with Alex and Jason because they have been my friends since we were young. I'm just thankful they accepted the job, even though they can build their own business if they want to. Alex is a lawyer, and if he wanted, he could build his law firm, but he accepted the job I offered to become my assistant and, at the same time, my lawyer. "Jason is a certified CPA, and this guy
I groaned in pain when I opened my eyes, only to close them again because of the bright sunlight peeking at the window. My head feels heavy, and it seems like a sledgehammer is founding it, not only my head but my body as if I carried a heavy thing last night. I forced my eyes to open again, and after a few seconds, my eyes adjusted to the bright room where I was, only to bolt up but fall back on the bed. My body feels so weak."Where am I? And what happened last night replayed in my mind. I quickly look under the cover that covers my body. I have clothes but aren't the clothes that I wore last night. My eyes quickly brimmed with tears. That Carlos guy, did he rape me? A sob left my lips, and my eyes roamed the room where I was. It was big, bigger than my whole apartment, and the bed where I lay was a king-size bed with a silk cover. I struggled to stand up now, crying. I need to leave this place, Tyron. I'm sure he is now worried about where I am."That Carlos guy. He drugged my dr
ZacharyI went into my room with a grin plastered on my lips. I always win. I always got what I wanted, and Athena, you are where I want you to be. I whistled and went inside the bathroom, and took a bath. After bathing, I wrapped a towel around my waist and went out of the bathroom, and Alex was already sitting on the couch waiting for me."Now you got what you want, you brat." He said, and I grinned and took my clothes out of my closet."What are your demands which you want me to write in the contract?" He asked, opening his laptop and putting it on the center table. I smiled and told him everything I wanted; feeling excited about Athena's reaction when she read the contract, I told him everything that Athena would earn by signing the contract."So generous are we? But I'm scared for Athena for whatever you mean of everything you wanted." He commented while typing on his laptop. I smiled and rubbed my hand together. I'm excited to start ordering this woman as soon as she signs this
