MY BOSS MY HUSBAND

CHAPTER ONE

(Arielle Pov)

I quickly rushed through the corridor not minding those around. I got to ward 103, pushed the door open and was shocked to see my mother in a critical condition.

I moved closely to observe her. There was a nasal cannula fixed on her nose to deliver supplemental oxygen.

"Mom," I whispered.

The door creaked open and I saw the doctor walk in.

"Doctor, hope she will be fine?"

Miss Hamza placed a hand on my shoulder. She looked at my mother, and returned the gaze at me. She gave out a deep breath.

"See me now in my office"

I was confused because I left my mother hale and hearty this morning before leaving for work.

My phone beeped. It was a message from my boss. "How is your mother?"

I wasn't in the right frame of mind to reply but I don't have to ignore my boss.

"She is in a critical condition" I replied and stuck back my phone in my bag.

"Have a seat, Arielle"

I sat down, staring at the doctor to begin the explanation because I was lost in thought.

"Did you not notice that your mother was not well?"

"No, I left her this morning to do some washing," I replied sharply.

"Am sorry but there is a problem"

At this moment, my heart was beating so fast. I couldn't even explain what I was thinking.

"Speak on please," I urged.

"Your mother has developed a brain tumor and needs to be operated upon before it gets damaged totally"

I can really say that the statement made me lose three pounds of weight.

"How…." I wanted to speak but I felt a lump on my throat. Tears welling up in my eyes.

"Arielle, you need to calm down. She will be fine. All we need now is to carry out the surgery in two days"

"Doctor, are you sure she will be fine?" I managed to ask.

She nodded at me as she scribbled something on the paper and shifted it to me on the table.

I glanced at it but I couldn't understand.

"What is this?"

"Pay eight thousand dollars into the hospital account and your mother will be fine"

I widened my eyes in shock. The amount she called sounded like a bomb blast in ears.

"What?"

She pressed the bell on her table. "Next"

I knew it was time for me to leave. I was closer to exit door when she said, "delay is dangerous"

I held the paper as I walked out of the office, looking dumbfounded and clueless. Where do I get such an amount of money? My salary is not even a quarter of that amount.

My mother and I have been feeding from hand to mouth since my father died. I just got this job 3 months ago to sustain us.

"What did you say happened to your mother?" Lilian asked as she fetched drinking water from the filter.

"I can't really explain, but she has to undergo a brain surgery. That alone cost eight thousand dollars" I sighed.

Lilian almost choked on water. "Eight what?" She screamed.

"How do you get the money?"

I was struggling to remove my waistline belt. "I don't know"

"I have a suggestion"

I sat upright immediately, placing my right hand on the head rest of the cushion. "Am all ears"

"I think you should ask for a loan from your boss, and then, they should be taking it from your salary"

My shoulders dropped as I heard what she said. It wasn't a good idea because my boss won't accept that.

"Lilian, my salary is too small to pay back such an amount" I said, looking worried.

"Then you have to come up with something tangible. Two days isn't far"

"Miss Arielle, bring the file into my office" he hung the call.

I gathered the file on my desk sluggishly. I have been feeling weird since yesterday. I am sure I wasn't sick, but my mother's condition has made me look so worn out.

"Here it is, sir" I dropped it on the table and turned my back to leave but he called me instead.

"Arielle, I want you to join me on a date with a client by 7:00 p.m at evening"

I opened my mouth to explain to him that I have my mother to take care of but he cut me short. "Hush! It's not a suggestion. It's a command as my secretary"

I bowed and left angrily to my office. I don't know why my boss loves bullying his workers around.

It was 7:00 p.m on the dot, and I had just arrived at the Cristern Hotel. I walked up to his table and gave him the file he wanted. I was there with them while they were discussing business.

I was absent minded although he offered me a drink. During the meeting, I was feeling tipsy and light headed. I didn't know when they were done discussing.

I felt an arm giving me a comfort on which I rested my head. I mistakenly placed my hand on his pants and I felt a hard object. "Ouch!"

I shifted my head closer to his neck. I could feel the heat and a burning sensation between us. He caressed my hair with his hand and I placed a peck on his neck.

I felt a swing from my leg, but he carried me in his hands to a room and placed me on a big sized bed. At this point, I couldn't remember my worries as I was carried away in pleasure.

Our tongue rolled in each other's mouth with his hand romancing all my body. "I want more" I moaned loudly as he thrusted in his c**k in my wet and tight p***y, and I finally gave in for him.

My phone has been ringing but I thought it was a dream till I opened my eyes and picked the call.

"Arielle, your presence is needed at the hospital now!"
