YOU ARE IT FOR ME

TWENTY- FOUR

Ryan P.O.V

Fuck, f**k, f**k, what the hell is she even doing here? I say pulling my hair in frustration. I thought this was a one time thing and I never have to see that face again but as usual it was only wistful thinking. We had agreed never to see each other again after the one night stand we had when I had f****d her till she passed out.

I am not denying the fact that she was a good f**k, I can still remember how wet and sweet she was and how she kept moaning like she was in heat but even at that we decided not to have anything to do with each other after that night.

How did she even know Stacey and how did she find me. All these questions were running through my mind, only Fiona as she called herself have the answers to all of these questions. From the way she tried to remember were she had met me it could probably mean that our meeting today was only a coincidence

And what did she mean by what she said about me and Stacey getting on with what we were doing.

But after thinking about it I felt silly for feeling this agitated, who cares what she tells Stacey it's not like Stacey and I are in a relationship. I wonder why she had come to see Stacey.

If I am being truthful she is hot as f**k no doubt, it's just that the circumstances with which we had met isn't something I would want Stacey to know about not that it concerns her but there are somethings I felt uncomfortable sharing with her.

I made my way to Stacey's room to get my clothes but no matter how much I looked I couldn't find my clothes in her closet, so I grabbed my phone to call her and at the same time her call came through. I picked up at first ring.

Hello babe whatsup I say.

She told me she had called to tell me not to wait up for her cause she would be spending the night at her parents place. I asked her were she had put all my clothes and she said she had arranged them at the guest room.

I felt surprised why she would do that in the first place cause she and I have always slept on her bed each time I stayed over so what changed now.

She gently explained to me her reasons for doing what she did before I could even ask her. After her explanation it dawned on me that she was right. Since she and Donovan are in a relationship it was only fair that we slept separately in order not to create any misunderstanding between them.

I sighed after she hung up, I forgot to tell her about Fiona's visit and I felt I should ask her how she knew Fiona when I she returns home.

I made my way to the guest room and saw that it has be cleaned and all my clothes neatly placed in the closet. I checked the bathroom which looked clean too and the toiletries and clean towels were kept in it's place. I smiled, it's just like Stacey to be very thoughtful when it comes to things like this.

After wearing my tank top and a sweat pant I went to the kitchen to fix something to eat. I checked my phone for some emails before leaving the room.

***************************

I was awoken by the shrill sound of the door bell and I groggily draged myself out of bed, damn who could be at the door by this time of the day, it was 6.am for f**k sake.

Then like a light bulb I remebererd that Stacey could be the one at the door but then she has her own key why then would she be pressing the door bell instead of coming inside. I rushed to the door all sleep eluding me as I went to open the door.

I opened the door but saw no one there instead I saw a wrapped package with no name indicated on it. It seamed so strange that someone would send a package at that time of the day. It was still early in the morning. Did that cocky bastard send this but then he should have sent a note along side it.

Is this a time bomb? I smacked myself on the head for thinking such silly things especially so early in the morning.

I stared suspiciously at the package for a while before going to the kitchen to get a knife. I tore the package open and it was a plain looking box, I wondered what was inside the box.

Hmm... lets see what's inside I said opening the box but I was hit with the putrid smell coming from the dead rat inside.The smell hit me so hard that I quickly closed the box moving away from it.

What the f**k! who could be playing such sick prank so early in the morning. This is an expensive joke to play and to Stacey for f**k sake. Who could have done this.

I quickly went outside the house and ran down the corridor but I saw no one, whoever kept this package was long gone. It was useless going to ask the security at the reception cause alot of people lived in this building.

I went back inside the house then went to the kitchen to get a disposable refuse plastic bag. Afterwhich, I carefully placed the box inside the plastic bag tied up the bag and went to dump it in the trash outside the building. The refuse truck would come any moment to take out the neighbourhood trash. I went back inside the house to wash my hands.

I was already fuming with rage and wondering who could have done this to Stacey, it couldn't have been directed to him cause this isn't his house and it could only mean one thing that whom ever had kept that package there was targeting her. But why would any one do that to her, she was a good person and never stepped on anyones toe.

The only thing I was grateful for was that it was me who had opened that package and not her. Who knew what would have happened if she had been the one to open the package, she would have been very disoriented cause she was petrified of rats.

I paced angrily about the living room trying to think of what to do but I only hoped that this was a one time thing and Stacey doesn't have to know about it so she doesn't get scared. She wouldn't get hurt by something she doesn't know about right?

I tensed up when I suddenly heard the sound of the lock turning at the door and I quickly looked towards the door waiting for the door to open. The door opened and Stacey walked inside making me breath a sigh of relief.

On seeing me she smiled widely at me then she frowned she must have seen the worried look on my face which made me quickly try to brighten up for her sake.

Are you okay Ry? what happened? you look worried she asked while peering at me with concern lacing her voice.

I chuckled I am okay, I was only worried that you have not arrived yet, I said putting on a smile on my face. She laughed but I told you that I will be spending the night at my parents place, I hardly see them you know, she said dropping on the couch.

Had a nice sleep? I asked sitting down close to her on the couch.

Offcourse I did, mother didn't want me to leave this morning she said, but I reminded her that I have work to attend or else I will get fired she replied smirking.

I laughed at what she said, You and I know that Donovan will never fire you for skipping work today.

she grunted, but that would seam very unprofessional you know, the fact he is my boyfriend doesn't mean I should take advantage of that. She started laughing.

I didn't say anything but only stared at her. She looked so beautiful and breath taking even without dressing up, I sighed.

Dad has finally retired she blurted out to me, Oh really I said, wow its about time you know I said.

Yeah I know that, Amos is taking over the company she replied removing her shoes, so they will be taking a long much needed vacation she said standing up.

That's good you know, your father needs to take a break from all the stress from work I replied while walking towards the kitchen to fix breakfast.

When I didn't hear her response I turned to look at her when I found her staring silently at me without saying anything. She looked like she was thinking of something at that moment.

What? I asked

She shook her head, nothing I just thought about something that's all she replied giving me a smile but I could swear that something was bothering her but I didn't push it any further. In due time if it was important then she will speak to me about it.

What would you like to eat? I asked.

Anything you make will be okay by me she replied going towards her bedroom. I stared after her before I turned around and entered the kitchen thinking about the scary thing that happened this morning.

*****************

Donovan P.O.V

After my morning routine and taking a well deserved bath, I got ready for work. My outfit for the day has already been laid out on the bed waiting to be worn.

I put on a black dress trouser, black shirt, grey blazer along with a black ankle dress shoe, I looked very dashing in my outfit. I wore my cologne and then styled my hair. After taking a last look at myself on my full length mirror I picked up my phone and wallet then left my bedroom.

I skipped down the stairs making my way to the dining, Frank was there placing the morning paper on the table along with Racheal who was laying out breakfast on the dining table which comprises of toasted bread, jams, bacon, baked beans, fresh orange juice which is freshly squeezed, eggs, some fruits, hot chocolate drink and a pot of hot strong coffee for me.

Frank takes hot chocolate drink in the morning but I like my morning coffee very strong.

Morning, I greeted making them both raise their heads from what they were doing to look at me before responding to my greetings.

You look absolutely dashing this morning sir, Racheal said smiling widely at me.

Thank you Racheal I replied sitting down and making myself comfortable. I poured out coffee for myself and the strong scent of coffee hit my nose. Hmmm.... this is so nice I say taking a sip, just the way I like it. Thank you Racheal I said giving her a grateful smile.

I looked up and saw Frank watching me closely. What is is Frank? I asked looking away to pick up my cutleries to begin eating my breakfast, I was amused at his shocked face.

Something seam different about you these days he said taking a seat. Racheal snorted before heading to the kitchen leaving Frank and I alone to our breakfast.

Tell me is there something that I need to know he asked looking at me with that stoic gaze of his. I chuckled, I didn't take you as an inquisitive guy I say sipping my coffee.

Frank rolled his eyes then gave me a mock glare.

I laughed at his behaviour cause Frank hardly concerned himself with other people's affairs but for him to show interest in my behaviour of late only means that he was concerned about my mental state, being that I always go around the house with a grumpy and an unhappy face.

It's not all the time that I see you laugh and the most shocking of it all was when you thanked Racheal, come on, anyone would show concern regarding your mental state he added looking intently at me making me laugh.

Anyways if you must know I met someone and she makes me happy that's it. Hearing no response from him, I looked at him over the rim of my cup seeing how shocked he looked.

I know what you must be thinking, at first it scared me too when I began to grow feelings for her but I was like f**k it , and I gave love a chance.

Hmm... this taste so good I say eating some of the eggs. Frank didn't say anything to what I said, he must be shocked that I have finally given love a chance considering my past with all those women.

Are you really sure about this? he asked quietly. I turned and held his gaze for a while before giving him my response.

I am very sure about this one I replied. He nodded giving me a small smile before sipping on his chocolate drink.

Let me guess the woman is Stacey your P.A, Frank said with amusement written all over his face.

I chuckled, I think I fell for her the first day I saw her, she was so beautiful and perfect but I was scared cause I couldn't let what happend with Fiona repeat itself again.

All women are not the same, but if Stacey makes you happy then by all means you should give love a chance and she seam like a nice girl too he said.

Yeah she is I say finishing my coffee and then I stood up, gotta go, later Frankie I say making him laugh. It's been ages I have called him by that name. I could still hear him laughing as I made my way out.

You forgot to read the morning papper he called out to me, I will do that at the office I replied walking away hurriedly.

As I walked out of the house Maxwell my new driver already had the door open for me when he saw me coming out of the house. I am still trying to get used to him.

Good morning sir, he greeted me bowing slightly to me, I gave him a curt nod while entering the car.

A few days after Lyon returned from his vacation he suddenly got a call that his mother had been knocked down by a hit and run vehicle, nobody saw what happend and it happened so fast that the driver was not apprehended. Lyon had to go back to take care of his mother who was in a coma and he would be with her till she recovered.

Maxwell is the temporal driver who had to replace Lyon till he comes back to work. He is always too eager to impress me making me suspicious about him. I dislike people like that, who were too eager to please someone, it makes me feel like they are not real and are only doing that to get personal favours in the future or that they have other ulterior motives.

With how efficient he was with his work I felt there was no need to investigate him since he hasn't done anything yet to make me suspect his motive.

Still, I cannot neglect the fact that there was something a little bit off about him that I just can't place my finger on but I just waved it off. My instincts are usually always correct, but perhaps I shouldn't think too much about it and just let him do his job. I will just keep an eye on him for now.

Maxwell quickly got inside the car and drove away. I took my phone from my pocket and dialled Lyons number.

*****************

After getting out of the car, I made my way to the elevator then I pressed the button to my floor and after a while the elevator stopped and the door dinged and opened.

I stepped out of the elevator with a little frown on my face, I had called Lyon this morning hoping to hear some good news from him regarding his mother's condition but it seams that nothing has changed, she was still in a coma and from the way he sounded on the phone I could feel how the whole thing has affected him.

Lyon was an only child and he was raised by a single mother who used to work as a maid for my family but when she started to get older Lyon asked her to quit in order to take care of her health as she was not getting any younger and also to rest.

So she had to quit and Lyon started working for me instead, so Lyon and his mother were like family to me. I also made sure that his mother still receives her salary every month despite not working for us any more. Hearing how she was still struggling for her life made me feel very disturbed, I wish there was more I could do to help Lyon in this trying moment of his life.

I can understand what he was going through, his father had passed when he was a little boy and his mother has been the only family he had and watching her in this state struggle and fight for her life is enough to break him.

I had asked the police to investigate the matter about what had happened and find the driver but it seams that all their efforts were in vain , the driver had disappeared into thin air and no traces found. So far there has not been any positive result within the ends of the police.

Walking to my office I was so engrossed on what to do to bring justice to Mrs. Miller that I didn't see my girlfriend waiting by my office door. I had only noticed her when she called my name repeatedly making me snap out of my thoughts. I gave her a small smile when I saw her worried look.

What happened babe? did something happen?she asked furrowing her brows in a frown. I hugged her briefly then held her hands and pulled her inside with me. Let's talk for a while I said making her more worried but she said nothing and followed me inside my office. She closed the door behind her and we both went to sit on the couch.

Are you alright baby? I am getting worried , tell me what happend?

I sighed, its Lyons mother I say.

Oh, what happened is she okay? she asked with concern

I shook my head sadly.

Come to think of it, I wanted to ask you but it escaped my mind, it's been a while since I saw Lyon, tell me what happened.

Well, his mother was a victim of a hit and run and since then the police have been unable to catch who did it and the poor mother has been in coma since then I say rubbing the back of my neck.

You know both she and Lyon are like family to me, his mother used to work for my family but she had to quit cause she was getting older and then Lyon took over and he has been working for me for a long time now. Though I don't show it but I do care about them. I intend to do this my own way to find out who had done that to his mother.

Do you think the person had knocked her down intentionally Stacey asked with her eyes wide with shock.

I nodded, I think so but there is no prove, it was done by an expert and even the CCTV camera that looked over that particular street wasn't functioning on that day, this only proves that everything was carefully planned and carried out.

But my question is who would want to hurt mrs Miller? she is a very sweet woman who has gone through alot raising her son, who would want to hurt her that way I say.

Perhaps they have a motive Stacey said quietly making me turn towrads her, what do you mean by that? I asked looking inquiringly at her. She shruggled, you know in movies when bad people wanna weaken their target knowing fully well that if they faced him directly they might lose so what they do is to target his weakness and go after them she said.

I chuckled, you watch too many movies I say drawing her closer to me.

I am only saying, perhaps the main target is Lyon so they went after his weakness which is his mother.

I was amused by what she just said but then suddenly what she said made sense to me. You know what baby you are probably right, Lyons weakness is his mother, that's why they went after her to weaken him. But who would want to hurt Lyon? he is a nice guy. Gush am getting worked up with all these.

Maybe you should let the police do their job you know Stacey said kissing my nose. I am so sorry about what happened, poor Lyon I pray his mother recovers quickly she said leaning her head on my shoulder.

You know what baby?

What?

You are so smart, if the police can't do their work properly, then I have to resort to other means.

And which is? she asked looking at me.

I grinned, I will let you in on it when I have put forth my plans.

Stacey laughed, oh baby I didn't tag you as a detective, my boyfriend is not just so handsome but he is also a detective. hmmm.. am so lucky she said making me smile.

The way she said ' my boyfriend' brought some warmth to my heart and I found myself laughing along side her temporarily forgetting all my worries.

After a while we started work for the day and I was so engrossed with all the work that I forgot about how upset I was this morning and when it was time for my 2.pm meeting with the board of directors Stacey and I headed for the meeting.

Before I knew it, it was already time to leave and I had already completed the today's work without any propblem and all thanks to my sweet girlfriend who made sure I was distracted with work and not dwell so much on my worries. She was just absolutely the best.

Third Person P.O.V

Hey how did it go? I hope you didn't f**k things up like you did the last time a voice screeched on the phone making the man wince.

Are you trying to make my ears bleed? can't you talk properly he asked glaring at the phone as if the woman on the other end could see him.

Shut up, I had to do everything myself last time, anyways did she receive the package ?

After my man delivered the package he waited secretly to see who would take the package from the door and it happend to be her boyfriend who took the package .

Fuck, the woman said angrily, this only means that she didn't open the package herself she said cursing.

Are your brains made of bricks? the man asked angrily, the fact that she didn't pick it up herself doesn't mean that she will not open it herself, that's her house for f***s sake. Probably the boyfriend took the package and then handed it over to her.

The woman sighed, Have you been able to identify the woman's face?

Not yet but .... the man said pausing

But what? spit it out you fucker the woman shouted making the man wince again, he felt like wrapping his hands around the woman's neck and squeezing tightly for trying to make his ears bleed with all her annoying shouts. She is so f*****g annoying. But he inhaled deeply and continued with what he was saying.

I have tried to look up the women he had been with recently and no woman matches with that name except for one woman he said taking a deep breath.

Who? she shouted

Bitch, can't you talk without shouting? I am getting sick of this already he said angrily.

Just spit it out she retorted angrily making the man clench his fist. If not for the mouth watering sum she was paying and for the fact that he hoped to f**k her again he would have put her in her place by now, stupid b***h.



Okay before I was rudely interupted by you, the only woman with that same name is his P.A Stacey Price. She alone bears that name and though they try to me formal around each other but then nothing escapes my eyes cause I have seen the way Donovan looks at her even when he thinks nobody notices but the eyes cannot lie you know.

That b***h the woman said quietly, no wonder her name sounded very familiar to me. Get her house address and see if it matches with the complex that I went to she said.

The man sighed, I have done that already I have her files with me, I was about to go through them before you called me.

What are you waiting for? check it and tell me if it matches.

The man said nothing and opened the file, he went straight to the area where the address of the person was indicated and he smirked.

Found it, its a total match, we are looking at the same person he said.

The woman cursed, I didn't know Donovan now dates his surbodinates, so disgusting she said angrily.

What's disgusting about it the man asked with a frown. Have you seen her? she is a goddess, any man would fall at her feet.

Shut the hell up she shouted, I am not paying you to offer your opinion, at least you did one thing right today. Send another package to her, scare the s**t out of her I don't care just get the job done and I might double your fee.

You got it, he said beaming at the thought of having the woman double up his fee and that means that his plans to acquire a new expensive car will be made possible sooner than he expected.

And one more thing, threaten her with a note and place it inside the package she said hanging up.

The man sighed and closed the file that was open on his laps in front of him. It was too bad that he had to scare such a pretty girl like Stacey. She was exactly his type and such women needed money to maintain. He wondered why the woman who hired him was so bent on ruining all of Donovan's relationship, what will she get from it. She was so pretty and could get any man she wanted why then is she after Donovan Green.

It was not any of his business and he would keep his mouth shut and won't ask any questions, all he cared about was the amount he was getting from the job. This was no time to be sentimental, and if he had to sell his soul to get good money then he will certainly do so.

******************

Stacey had just returned home from the dinner date she had with Donovan. He had sent off his driver and instead rode with her in her car, and after the delicious meal they both had in one of her favourite restuarant Donovan had driven her home so she could rest.

Ryan had told her he was on his way home, he had briefly stopped by at his house and the cleaning company were almost done with their work. He had used that medium to change the interior of his home and replaced some things.

Donovan followed Stacey to her house and when they got to the door a package was there waiting for her, it seams like someone dropped this here for you Donovan said picking up the package.

I am not expecting anything she replied, maybe it's Ryan's package seeing that it is not addressed to me.

Still hear? Donovan asked helping her open the door making Stacey look at him. Is someone jealous? she asked smiling.

Donovan huffed, as if? Stacey bursted out laughing. I told you why he is staying here for the moment but his house is almost done she replied hugging Donovan as they stepped inside the house.

Donovan chuckled I trust you baby you don't have to explain anything to me he said cupping her face. She smiled and kissed him. They both made out for a while before Donovan asked her to rest but she pleaded that he stayed a while which he did and when Ryan came home Donovan finally left. He had ordered for a taxi to take him home even though Stacey insisted he took her car but he declined.

Ryan was in the shower when Stacey remembered the package, You got something delivered to you this evening Ryan she said loudly close to Ryan's bedroom door which was partially closed.

I didn't order for anything Ryan answered with his body covered with suds as he turned the shower to full blast to wash away the suds from his body.

That's very strange Stacey said, Who then does this package belong to? let me check what's inside it.

Immediately Ryan heard the last thing Stacey said he remembered the package that came in earlier that morning and before he could stop her she had already tore the package open.
