CHAPTER 1: THE FAMILY I NEVER HAD
NIELLA'S POV
I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm frustrated I slammed it shut then proceeded to the bathroom to freshen up after I was done bathing i went to my closet bringing out a baggie top and cargo pants.
So I am one petite freak because I seem like a grandma in the body of an infant I basically look like a sixteen year old when I would actually be turning twenty-three in a few months.
After I was done dressing up I picked my glasses not the shade or goggles type because I am partially blind so it's a medicated type I then pick up my handbag and left my apartment I have to meet up with my friend she's moving to Australia she got a job offer there and I will be left alone again just like the time my mom left me after the death of my father she left the day dad's funeral fell on after dad was buried she came to the cemetery with her boyfriend I think they've been dating even before his death I never even noticed she was not at the funeral because I was grieving on my own I've never been closed with my mother my dad was my best friend I later got to know that it was what she wanted to tell me that made her come to the cemetery after dad was buried.
She told me she couldn't take me along with her because her boyfriend doesn't want a stepchild she left without glancing back despite my cries and pleas just at the age of eleven leaving me to battle with PTSD which I was diagnosed with the day she left, since then I have been fending for myself with any menial jobs I could find with that I was able to saw myself through school and cater for my needs.
Then it's been me and Angelia eversince and now she's moving too am feeling heartbroken already just then I felt my phone ringing I took it out and speaking of the devil.
"Hey babygirl"
"Where the hell are you DANIELLA FAY BRENT"
Ok now I'm in for it with her shouting at me like that and seeming to block my eardrum with that shrill voice she used on me just now agreed that am a bit late but where did she get the energy from really Angelia I scoffed mentally.
"Whoah take it easy mother dragon"
"I thought you wouldn't come see me off"
Now she's whining like some sort of a lost puppy typical Angelia.
"No baby why would I do that am almost at your place"
"Really I'll be waiting am done packing"
"Ok I'll be with you in a jiffy"
I ended the call with dramatic Angelia and few minutes later I arrived at her place and she was done packing.
So we board a cab to the airport after going through all the necessary procedures and paperworks it was time for her to board we hugged and cried on each other's shoulders am really gonna miss her she's been my solid rock, we do almost everything together even though we live apart from each other because I really value my privacy, and that never went down well with Angelia and she was still living with her parents then but she's my one true friend and the family I never had.
"I would miss you Angelia" I told her
"So do I and I'll make sure you come meet me there ASAP"
"I thought we've talked and went through this Angelia"
"No,Promise me you'll come if I should get a good job offer like mine for you promise me" she said holding my hands.
"Ok mother dragon I would "
"That's my baby dragon"
She said pulling my cheeks what did I say about me being petite again we are literally agemates am even older by some months but she treats me like a baby like who calls their peer their baby I wondered.
She's 5'5 feet tall,grey eyed, pale skin and pretty with wavy Auburn hair and she's got a good physique and attractive while am 5', feet tall,olive skintone emerald-green eyes a splatter of freckles on my nose and cheeks an hourglass shape like all the curves accentuated rightfully with blonde curls which earned me the name Goldilocks at School.
But people don't know because am always on baggy clothings I don't even own a dress except for the one Angelia got me for my birthday three years ago which I never wore but grudgingly accept it because I would never hear the end of it if I should refuse it.
Am quite pretty too but people don't know that because I wore a hideous large frame glasses and I never let my hair down because my curls are wild making me look like a nerd just kidding am actually a nerd.
I don't like attention because I don't really like how I look because I look like a splitting image of my mother except for the eyecolor and hair tone which I got from my dad and that makes me look like my mother's clone who I actually repulse unlike Angelia who loves attention and super hyper we are really worlds apart but we chose to be bestfriends and that's all that matters because she means so much to me likewise her too.
Angelia board the plane with tears in my eyes am really gonna miss her I made sure the plane departed right in front of me before I left the airport to board the cab i booked to take me home back to being alone i guess.
That's not a new thing Niella you've always been a loner dad died and left me mother dumped me for her boyfriend and the only person who stood by me has also moved to another country i thought as the cab took off and head towards my abode.
KAIZEN'S POV
For some days now I have been trying to get to a new P.A all to no avail because all of them are just trying to get to me even the ones from agencies the previous one who was a man didn't even last a day because he was flirting with me do l look like a gay even if I don't like girls am definitely not gonna be with a guy I would rather get castrated before that happens.
He got fired even before he got the job like I don't understand what's going on or what's wrong with people most especially girls I literally hate them now. After what Floria did I've made up my mind never to have anything to do with them everagain except for my mate if the moongoddess ever gives me one though I would really try to get along with her but it's that even possible I really don't know because and I don't think that's gonna happen with the way things are with me now eversince being diagnosed with haphephobia and series of anxieties caused by the heartbreak and betrayal of Floria I've had this repulsion towards women including my twin sister even though it's kind of a slight repulsion towards her.
Plus am twenty-nine now and no sign of a mate making up my mind not to dwell on my misfortune I decided to take on the work my new secretary brought to my office earlier.
Angelia Whitlock One of my potential worker she's really dedicated and devoted to work I learnt she moved here to Sydney from Texas when she came across the application on the internet.
I like knowing about the well-being of my workers as many as they are I may look cold and aloof to people of course I know what people say behind my back and I know that am being called The cold CEO
