(Alana) Nothing scared me more than getting intimate with a man, when I was a teenager, I always stayed away from men. Especially those who showed interest in me. The reason my friends called me a coward was that I was a virgin even in college. After that time at the party with Ricardo, I knew my body and feelings were acting up. It was hard to ignore what my heart was feeling. I sat in front of the mirror, combing my hair, when in actual senses I was reminiscing the times Ricardo and I were making out in his office. What was that, how did we reach that stage? My heart was confused more than my brain was. What happened that evening was out of my hands, I kept asking myself if I was attracted to my husband. “How come?” I thought, only to realize I said the words out loud. Slamming the pink hairbrush on the table. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Creased my hair a little. “I'm beautiful, right?” I muttered while feeling my face, it was smooth. My fingers slid down my ch

Alana was feeling awful, she didn't expect Rocco to show up and ruin everything. The party had turned sour after a pointless scandal fueled by Rocco and nosy reporters who kept making up fake news. Rocco left when Ricardo called the police and accused him of trespassing. Either way, the fire was already fueled and Ricardo didn't want to talk to her. He had Dennis take Santiago home.“I can explain, it's not what you think,” Alana muttered and tried, certainly, to explain the situation to Ricardo. He didn't even look at her. He was furious and that scared her. Alana didn't like what happened earlier. She regretted not telling him that she took the job Rocco offered her.“You are just a wife by name…why should I care what you do, huh,” Ricardo said coldly, he didn't care what she did with her life. There was no relationship between them. He was forced to marry her and nothing else.“I'm sorry, I'll still work for you and…”“I don't need you, I hate the sight of you…you disgust me, just

Alana smiled warmly as she watched Santiago respond to her. She was overwhelmed to know Santiago was eating the cereal she made for him. She only asked Rocco for two weeks to get herself settled. she spent a week getting close to Santiago. The next day was Monday, she had hired a new secretary for Ricardo. She was going to spend the entire week teaching the new secretary all about Ricardo's ways.“I can see he likes you…just look at him,” Mrs. Marks who was standing to the sides said cheerfully, encouraging Alana even more. “He's a cute boy… Mrs. Marks always make this fine oatmeal for him before going to bed,” Alana said, glancing up at Mrs. Marks, who nodded.“Since you came, Santi hasn't been having a hard time falling asleep… you are indeed magic, madam,” the woman said, making Alana feel shy, she was great with kids. Santiago was fine as long as he was understood. He was only 5 years old, sharp, and sweet.“In the past, he never liked any woman sir brought home…and you know sir

Alana smiled from ear to ear, while Ricardo looked like he was about to explode from anger. Dennis stood to the sides with his head bowed, while the man dressed like an accountant stood in front of Ricardo.“He's Dario, your new secretary…he's qualified, you can check his CV,” Alana said as she introduced the man she hired to be Ricardo's secretary. “Y-yes sir… I won't fail madam who hired me…rest assured,” Dario stammered a little and adjusted his specs. Ricardo's expression turned sour as he scanned the so-called secretary. He was not bad, except for his oversized specs hanging at the bridge of his nose. He was wearing brown trousers with a slightly pink tucked-in shirt and good shoes. Light-brown hair and a small face with a well-trimmed beard. He wasn't built, but like a typical weak man. Either way, Ricardo was not going to entertain a clown working for him. His entire posture was rather weak.“I don't need him,” Ricardo simply said, and Alana frowned. She went through so much t

Alana was tired of Rocco imposing things on her. Yes, she agreed to work for him, but he was taking things too far when he kept on bringing up things they had to do.Like going to check the new fabrics which came in. She saw no point in doing that in a haste. Besides that, he insisted on going to a meeting. She did not expect the press and paparazzi to be everywhere.The worst thing which could happen was being caught on camera with Rocco holding hands. She was his employee, not his woman. She made it clear countless times, but he was too muddle-headed to listen.“The new collection will be out of this world… I can promise you the world will be set on fire,” Rocco said to the two men and women seated before them. Alana met them, and they seemed to be some important wealthy clients of Rocco. They didn't stop bragging about how many expensive, unique clothes they bought from Rocco's company. How they were always the first ones to see his latest design.“We know you, and my wife is excit
