( Jordan's POV )I find the neighborhood where Evelyn stays messy. I can't believe my baby mother is staying in this environment which is not fit for a woman with pregnancies to be staying in. No wonder her mother called herself a nobody. Why then is she saying she has good work when she can't afford a good home for her daughter and grandchild?"Fuck!" I curse and come out of the car. I used my GPS to get the location. I walk through the alley and see the address number on the house in front of me. I walk towards it quickly, cursing beneath my breath when a dirty-looking dog barks at me. I am quite amazed that I am scared of the dog, I don't know if it's because the dog is dirty or because it is barking.I heave a sigh of relief when I get to the door. The dog has retreated when I am no longer in sight. I wonder why the dog is barking at me in broad daylight. I also can't help but wonder if the dog is theirs or for a neighbor's.I puff out the air I didn't know I was holding in and
( Tessa's POV )I am now a prodigal child. It is just for a few days, I know my dad will come looking for me soon. He is going to beg me to come back home. At least this will give me another chance to enjoy the best gift of life before going back home where dad's watchful eyes will be hovering over me like a hen watching over its chick.Ever since he brought up the idea of me becoming the CEO, he has been watching my every move and cautioning me to play safe so I can win the votes of the shareholders of his company. I ain't interested in the shit. It is as boring as f***, If only I can always get a good f*** from one of dad's employees from the office, maybe it will be worth it then but no, I doubt it.They are all dressed in suits and stupid ties. Jordan is the only man I like seeing in suits and ties, the rest are morons, except of course my dad.After crying for a while, I get up from the bed and move to the bathroom to take a cold bath. After bathing, I put on my clothes and I s
( Evelyn's POV )Boss came home early today. He arrived around past 6 pm and he asked me to cook dinner, he was hungry.I always wait for him to come back from work so I can cook his dinner before going home. He hates eating cold meals and my job is to cook and serve him hot meals. I work for him alone.My job isn't a difficult one, even when I am in the house waiting for his arrival, I do nothing other than watch movies like it's my home. Pamela and I chat whenever she is home but I notice she isn't always around these days. I wonder where she goes.I usually cook his breakfast and dinner, but on weekends when he is home, I also cook him a light lunch. He takes coffee only on Mondays but my early morning work starts on Tuesdays. He usually leaves for work by 8am, I have to resume early to cook his meal, serve him so he can eat before going to work.On Fridays, he goes to work late and comes back early. He leaves for work by 9am and comes back at 5pm which allows me to go home early
( Damien's POV )After the call with Donovan, the driver drives into my father's home. I look up at the building, The interior and exterior of the building doesn't cease to amaze me. I love the home because of its coziness and how comfortable it makes me feel. This is where I was born but I left home at an early age when my mother died. Ever since then, I always visit but I don't sleep here. It has a game room and an inbuilt gym house with a tennis court. The pool here is amazing andI would have loved to take a swim before going back home if only I didn't have other things to do.When the car stops, I get out and look around as I button up my long sleeve shirt. I miss being here, even though it brings memories that I want to let go of. I begin to walk in when the butler opens the door."Welcome sir", he greets me."Frederick, how do you do?" I smile at the old man.He was in his middle age when I was a little boy. I know he likes me and I like him too."I am fine, sir. Your father i
( Cassie's POV )I am angIy with my mom. After Jordan Alvarez left,I was greatly troubled about everything he said tome and I blamed my mother for it. I still don'tunderstand why she will stoop so low to go beghim. If she hadn't begged him to accept the babyand me, he wouldn't be asking me to marry him inthe lamest way ever.Is that even a proposal? He was making it look likehe is doing me a favor by getting married to him. Ihate his guts.I waited for my mother patiently, till I fell asleep.When I am awake, it is already dark and I am stillon the sofa in my school dress. I get up and placemy right hand over my head. The headache hasreduced a bit.I remember all that happened earlier with Jordanand all the rubbish he was spurting out to me, Ibegin to feel annoyed again. I still can't believe mymother went to meet him.Is she the one that brought up the idea of marriageto him or he is the one who wants to be married?Why the hell is he even talking about marriage noww
( Tessa's POV )"Yayyyy", I scream with excitement the moment weenter the club. Zoe is beside me as I begin to shakemy body to the loud music. I want to forget my worries and sorrows tonight, worries about my father, and sorrows about not having Jordan to myself. I want to enjoy tonight.I almost collapsed out of shock when Zoe's drivermentioned the man following our car. Zoe and I thought he was a kidnapper and we were going to be kidnapped. But after taking another lane towards the shopping mall where there is a large crowd instead of the quiet lane on the other side, we lost the car.Zoe says we were just imagining things but I feltthe man was really after us, even though I heaved asigh of relief whenI could no longer see him, till wegot to the shopping mall.I am dressed in a sexy off-shoulder lace floralbodycon mini dress with sleeves, showing enoughof my cleavage because of how low the off-shoulder is. It is barely covering my boobs and I chose thisdress on purpose.
( Cassie's POV )"I don't feel like going out, Pam", I complain, coming out of the bathroom in a towel."Come on", she moves over to me and nudges me."It's going to be fun", she beams.She pulls me back to the open closet and begins to search for a dress for me to wear. She sees a low maroon party dress and hauls it out."Here", she gives me. I sigh again before taking it from her.When she called me earlier and heard me crying, she disconnected the call and before I knew it, the doorbell rang.Pamela came in and hugged me tightly. I told her everything, she only consoled me without asking me any questions. Then she brings up the idea of going to a party. I said no but she insisted."Let's get you dressed so we can go have fun with our baby", she grins widely and drops the dress on the bed. I am about to move to the dressing mirror when I remember mom."Is mom still in your house?" I frown. I had tried calling her but her number wasn't going through."I didn't come from home", she in
( Evelyn’s POV )I did not know how long I sat there, with my mouth open, looking into space, but I knew it was long enough for me to get up, pack my things and leave for home.I can't believe my boss is asking me to accompany him to a party. It feels like I won a jackpot. I am excited and at the same time worked up.The way he flushed in the face speaks a lot. Is he attracted to me? Is this just a date? Is something going to happen between us?My eyes fall on the wall clock and I see it is past 7 pm already. I stand up with a smile, contemplating on whether to go knock on his door and tell him I am in or I should just go home and pretend like nothing happened, hoping he won't ask me again.This is the same person that shouted at me on my first day because I arrived late, making me feel like a schoolgirl being scolded by her teacher.This is something I didn't expect and now that it has happened, I still can't believe it isn't happening.You are just to keep his company, my subconscio
