"So sorry ma'am, but you did not get the job". The exact words I prayed not to hear from the mouth of the HR. Those words pierce into my heart like a sharp knife. I didn't even know what I was thinking. The pain in my heart made me think less after hearing that the CEO was the brain behind my being jobless for the 10th time.  I barge into the said CEO's office, but nothing prepared me for what happens next. I've always been an arrogant b***h who is not always in luck sometimes.  I got the job, felt so good saying that, the HR led me to my office and I resumed immediately. Not really the way I thought but I was happy I had a job I literally fought for. Andy, my billionaire boss, had me in my taught that I began to question if it's healthy working in his company. A man like Andy, the thought of him made me wet and angry at the same time. I mean, who wouldn't be insanely attracted to this dark goodness and deliciousness? I had this irresistible urge to beg him to eat me up, or I would use my woman powers to get him into my bed.This doesn't dispute the fact that he is selfish, and it's making the initial attraction I have for him fade. Trying to be defensive in order not to get hurt like mine isn't rich enough to get hurt.Later, I heard of his insane relationship with his former lover, which took a toll on him.I became softer and tried to understand, but not always. Gave space when I felt overwhelmed, my brother and his wife are always ready to let me into their home. His children are literally my best friends. Yeah... we do have a family house without a father, yeah... my mother is a single mother of four children. Three handsome problems and one beautiful girl. That's me. It wasn't easy raising us with a father. As a Matter of fact, while Jamie and Snow were my biological brothers,  Christian,  the last child of the family, was my stepbrother, gotten from p**********n, and before you go about judging me, that was the only means of survival,  my desperate mother knew.We never lacked anything, thanks to my mother's business, and no, I did not continue or follow her into the business. My brothers were so overprotective of me, including Christian. Everyone puts me ahead of myself, and that makes me feel small. I literally had to break free from their shackles after college to pursue my purpose and get the life I've always dreamed about. Even though I miss their overprotectiveness a lot because there were times I needed it, part of me was grateful I'm now a grown lady in their eyes.Being in that office with Andy without the staff to gossip was one hurdle I couldn't cross. Staff hated me, but one thing I won't stand is being bullied by any single one of them. I would rather be dammed.Even when Andy tried acting funny, I stood up to him.I stand to be corrected, not bullied.Though I have siblings who wouldn't let a fly hurt me, I still stand up for myself against bullies. Andy would still find any given opportunity to get me question the attraction I have for him."How can someone be sweet and sour at the same time". I wonder every single time. When Andy is not being a bully,  he is being the sweetest boss I've ever had, a lover, and a friend. He put his contract on hold only because I caught a fever the morning of sealing the deal.I was really in his debt, and thankfully, we got the deal... thank goodness,  I wouldn't have forgiven myself and my fever if we lost it. Andy began going low on business, to the point of bankruptcy.  I couldn't believe a multi-millionaire company could go this bad to the point that it wants to lay off staff.He hardly talks about his parents, I would think they are dead. Andy, allowing his parents to decide for him to marry the daughter of the CEO of Pinnacle company brought tears to my eyes. I got broken, broken because I understand his reasons for his actions, and also because I do not want to share my boyfriend with another woman.He assured me it was a contract marriage but I would hear none of it.He should be willing to fight for what we have.  I wasn't perfect, but it was insanely beautiful.  "I will marry you and make you mine." Those words still find ways to sneak into my thoughts and echo like I don't have other things I think about. He was under so much pressure to give in, so he took her on a date, and he dropped her off at his house because Tricia had somewhere to be. I saw Tricia force a kiss on his lips, and I was furious. Wanted to hear an explanation, and what Andy said to me broke me completely " Youwill have to be a mistress". I looked him in the eye with so much pain and shock."You want me to be your mistress? How dare you". I stormed out of his house ,not his life i Iean... we've gone way totoar to be strangers, I just needed to clear my head.Where else would I have gone, I went to Jamie's house and interrupted their Friday rituals of seeing a movie in their sitting room. I felt so bad,but it wasn't compared to how I felt that moment.

I hate that I love you
CHAPTER ONE Attraction at first sight “So sorry ma'am, you did not get the job” . “What!!” I questioned I was certain I would get the job with my qualifications. “But my qualifications say otherwise, plus I did not have a proper interview, what could be the problem”, I queried further, “I don't know the CEO insisted you don't get the job, ma'am, he made sure of that, and he wants you to leave at once, ma”. “I will ask him myself ”. I said, ignoring the pleas for me to leave the office. She raced after me, shouting “ Miss, please, I will have to call the security if you don't leave”. But I ignored her, The pain in my heart couldn't bear me shouting back at her, so I just kept walking till I got to a door where I entered a while ago, and I entered without thinking or knocking, One would think I own the company, but I cared less, or maybe I wasn't just thinking, I just wanted an answer on why I did not get the job. People go on interviews, but they are either given false hopes or reasons why they will not get their desired work description. The HR did not bother getting to the door. We were leaving me to the fate of the boss. “If you knew the vacancy is filled already, then don't bother stressing people who have taken on one of the things to do with their time”. I screamed at him immediately. I got in, ignoring the fact that he is also a busy man. He refused to look up,r ather he kept typing on his computer, his eyes going from his computer to the paper beside him The anger inside me was no longer that of a mustard seed, I was ready to move mountains, I reached for his seat, Swung it to my angle, Bent slightly and made him look me in the eyes, But not the reaction I was getting as his hands left his computer tandsoftly ddraggedmy head backto his face. I got scared at this point and began to regret my idea of confronting him ,which clearly looks like a nnot-so-badidea. As he stared into my eyes, mMyheart raced so hard that it could explode, hHegot mcloserto my face, making me look helpless as though I wanted it. “What happened to Beatrice twhowas ready to burn down Easy Company” i asked my mind, “ She changed from ice to water real quick” iIreplied ,laughing really hard in my head. With the situation iIwas in, one wwouldthink iIhad no time to discuss all this with my mind. Looking at me, he located my lips, which had a dark red lip glosson ithemand gently placed his lips on them opening his mouth a little bit, He sticked out his tongue together with his lips and dipped them into mine as they took turns and held onto me, not wanting to let go, At this poin,t I had forgotten the reason I entered his office as I held onto the collar of his grey suit with my other han,d very busy massaging the back of his hea,d making his face as close to mine as possibl,e not getting enough of the kiss. I had already forgotten I was slightly bent doing all this while he was comfortably sitting with the door ajar. We were on it for five minutes, not wanting to let go of each other, I tried to see if I could unbutton his shirt and go deeper, At this poin,tIi was horny as fuck His phone boothrangg and in shoc,kIi swung his chair away from me. “ I'm not available” Hee answered immediately,y not hearing what the other person wanted to sa,y and roughly dropped the phone initss boot.,Ii assumed shewass his secretary. “ You see why I can not employ you in my company. You are not a good fit for me. I don't get easily distracted, I'm pretty focused on everything i d,o so you can not come into my company in seconds and start running through my head like my office work”. “I will lose my mind with you working as my executive assistant, pleas. , I would have loved to make a few calls for yo,u but I still won't focus properly knowing your location, please go”. “If you stay one more minutes, I might be tempted to do something I have never done in a very long time”, “Have s*x in your office, you mean” I blacked out almost immediately, LikeIi knew what he wanted to say, Such a cowardic,e” I sai,d very hurt and confused at the same tim.eWhyywouldl he fire me because he had an attraction toward, m?eIi did not create myself. Feeling frustrated and teary, I continue,d Youu do not go ahead and fire someone because you have the power to do so, it's very disgusting”. I wouldn't come to your companyif Ii had another choice, I really need this job “I promise not to be a distraction to you Sir” Her beauty alone is a distraction, How would she not be a distraction when she will be working as my executive assistant, I will have to fight my mind to get her off of it “Andy”, Calll me And,y hereacheds out for a handshak,e which she returnedhappilyy because she had gotten the job. “Please the kiss did not happen sir let us keep our work, professional sir”, “Andy” he repeated That's my name” Feeling used by the kiss “I am your boss. I call theshots Miss…..”, “Beatrice”. I replied, feeling pissed that he had forgotten my name just a few hours after conducting a very short interview different from my fellow job hunters, “Sir sorry Andy” I bit my lower lip in regret “Ok let's strike a deal. For every sir you call me comes with a kiss, and you work on my terms when I decide to change the dea,l” he said Bluntlyy my eyelid changing direction from the table to him I shoutedinn shock “N,o And!y”!! “ I promised not to be a distractio,n and the other kiss was a mistakeIi wouldn't make agai.,Youu are my bos;, it's only wiseIi cal you by your title”. “You just called me Andy instead of si,r meaning you gave in to my deal he said with a smir”. Since I have an assistant I don't have to do this anymore he said as he gently arranges thepaperworks and gives it to her, Adjusts hiswristwatchhduringt the process. “The HR will show you to your office, and you can start working today, I need this paperwork delivered tomorrow morning” “ Sir sorry Andy” I said but this time a bit scared that he might kiss me he stood up from his chair walked up to me used his finger to liftmyr face up close in a bid to kissmer but to my surprise as I closed my eyes a bit with my heart beating very fast like someone who raced in a sport, he whispered “Not today, but you owe me a kiss, don't forget” I left his office not knowing where to go,o but I still had to leave beforeI dido somethingIiwouldl regret. I felt wet in m body, I did not realize that my boss is this hot as he has been sitting all through the time he was talking. I only thought he had a masculine handsomeness with his hair low, dark deliciousness, Fineeyebrowss, He Totheses very sexy eyes that he winks whenever he wants to say something mischievous Down to hisnot-so-pointedd nose, his side jars, His neatly carved beard, Just the perfect amount of hair in his beard and his lips, I could have all day without getting tired. Black on the upper lip and pink on the lower lip just the way I like it. Not seeing all tthesefeatures for the first time in the interviewing room is crazy, “ I guess I really needed to get this job to see them”. “ Miss Beatrice, here's your office” HR said as i entered my richly furnished office very close to my bboss'soffice, As I sat to type the paperwork given to me by my boss, I stopped reminiscing over the kiss as it made me wet more. “ Maybe he is right about the distraction part ,but iIneed this job, the pay is something no one will tdotwice before accepting it ,so I'm not backing out”. “Why do iIfeel this way? I wasn't raised like this. I really hope this feeling fades away real quick” I said, still feeling hot, between my thighs. CHAPTER TWO My Background I came from a humble home. Being the only girl made it impossible for me to socialize, My brothers Jaime and Snow made sure of it including my half brother christian. I always keep to my curfew and never stayed out of home late. Being an only girl with no Father in our life was not a walk in a park. Our mother didn't have an easy one raising us which made her venture into p********e that resulted to christian: The last child though the age difference is little that respect didn't come easy. As an only girl everyone treated me like a baby including my step brother. I'm is not allowed outside the gate past 8pm for whatever reason, Not for any reason but because they didn't want me to follow my mother's footsteps. They waited for me to turn 18 before getting me a mobile phone, Airpod, Tabs, And every gadget I sole desire. “Took you guys forever” i said when i was handed the gadgets and walked back to my room, Hesitantly showing gratitude. My gadgets became my best friend as i hardly talk to anyone in school and at home. I could be on my phone all day without realizing i hadn't had food. I was introduced to a p**n site. More like it pops up on my phone whenever I'm using the internet and for some reasons, it made me horny so i began frequenting the site to watch it. It made me horny as hell and i resorted to m**********n when i discarded the thought of my half brother in bed with me. I entered college But still lacked confidence to socialize, I haven't let go of my shy nature. I, being extremely beautiful or so they say was making It easy for me to step out of my shyness. I had so many guys who came for a relationship Or for some reason but I discarded them. Not because they were not handsome but because there was no sense of satisfaction whenever they approach me. I made female friends who were ready to support my decision regarding not only my relationship but any other reason there is. They were both in a relationship and that made me really jealous because I have to keep mute when ever they were talking about their man. CHAPTER THREE Fighting feelings I stayed up very late working on my paperwork. “I wouldn't want him to find me lazy”. I thought. I made sure to finish my it to show Him how capable I am. Sleeping at 2:25am in the morning going to work early would be a miracle. I woke up seeing 9:37am at my wall clock Oh no!! I screamed jumping out of the bed to the bathroom. I only muttered “God bless the day”, as my morning prayer, Brushing my teeth and setting my clothes for the day at the same time. I finished fast or so I thought, looking at my wrist watch, it was 10:40am. I left my house, entered my car, bought for my 24th birthday and zoom off, Reaching the office at 11:07. Everyone whispering amongst themselves, As I walked towards my office, I bumped in the secretary who was so relieved and tensed at the same time. “Thank Godness you are here, you were holding a very important Document and our Boss will be needing it in a few minutes to submit to A very important client”. “Our Boss has been fuming in anger hope you finished the work maybe that will console him a little”. She continued. “Sorry I was… I was… I came……”. “Miss Beatrice”, A Familiar voice called, interrupting my stuttering. “The Boss Is calling you”. The HR said to me. Taking a deep breath, I entered his office. I know I was expecting a warning or maybe a little shouting but nothing prepared me for what I heard. “Maybe the frivolous kiss we shared Yesterday made you think you are superior, or because I said I cannot get you off my head. Who the hell do you think you are”. He blunted emotionlessly. My heart stopped. Tears trying to find it's way down to my cheeks. “I stayed up all night to finish this paperwork and this I what get in return? I get I was wrong starting my second day in the office with lateness but this is no way to treat your employee”. I said in tears, I didn't care anymore, the tears should flow freely for him to see how much he hurt me. “I have a meeting in less than an hour and you are coming with me,submit the documents to my secretary”. He said, he cared less about my emotions. I was brutally hurt, it wasn't entirely my fault, if he hadn't given me a Truck Load of work on my first day at work maybe we wouldn't be in this dilemma. I shakily left the office like one suffering from fever, I truly was because of the heavy Achoholic Wine I took to keep myself company last night while working on the project. I was having this banging headache but I managed to control it, I wouldn't want to continue giving them the impression that I was incompetent. I entered my office to take in all that has happened in just few minutes of coming to work late. Miss Beatrice, Boss said you both are ready to leave. “But he said less than an hour”. I thought to myself a bit frustrated. Why does Billionaires think that the are the most powerful amongst other humans. … The driver must be very good at his job. He was driving very peaceful avoiding any road bumps and obeying the traffic rules_ My Boss or rather Andy was looking at the documents he gave me to handle yesterday I could tell by the smile in his that he was very impressed. “Well, I'm happy there is a compensation for what you did today, I'm very impressed, this is good”. He said flipping the pages of the documents and looking at me. I scoffed. What does he take me for, A first class graduate in Business Administration. He was in for a ride. “Thank You sir”. I replied tiredly. “You don't sound too good” he said ignoring the documents completely and feeling my forehead with his palm. Oh! No!! “You are having fever and you said nothing”. “Sir i” Before I could defend myself he said to the driver “We are going to the hospital now” What! The hospital? Who is this man and what the hell is wrong with him. Few minutes ago I would've sworn he hated me. Now he wants to take me to the hospital because of some fever. “No sir, I will be fine, it's something minor”. I don't want to be the reason he lost his contract. “You don't have a say here, driver take us to the nearest hospital” “Ok sir” The driver responded respectfully. I was helpless, “Sir what happens to the Contract” I asked with concern written all over my face. “That can wait” he said bluntly. He was too blunt for a seven hundred and fifty million dollar contract. He wants to throw that away because of some fever. I felt guilty. The driver pulled over at Maris Hospital. Unfastened his seatbelt, Came down to open the owner seat for Andy who hurriedly came down to open up for me to step down. I slowly came down and we made for the entrance. “Seat here” He said without getting any response on whether I wanted to seat or continue our journey to Mass Estate company. He headed to the reception hall. ‘I need to see a Doctor immediately” He spoke with so much emotions like someone whose wife us due for labour. “Wait sir you have to book an appointment and also get a card if this is your first time here”. “You need money”? Does he think money can solve everything. I mean_ money is good but it's certainly not everything. The receptionist seemed irritated at his arrogance. She wouldn't jump the queue to help him because of his financial status. “With all due respect sir, this is not how things are done please join the queue, it will make our work Quicker and less stressful. He went to seat with me looking very dejected like I was in a matter of life and death. The driver in the car waiting for us to get back. It finally got to our turn. We got a new card and paid for a doctor's prescription, My name was inputted into the computer and I was told to exercise a little patience for the doctor to call me in. Finally i got to hear my name. “Miss Beatrice Lawson, you can go in now”. Andy stood up with me to enter the doctor's office but the receptionist tried to stop him. “Who is she to you sir? Is she your wife or your sister”. “No”! He replied really confused on why questions were being thrown at him like he was some five year old. He sat back leaving me to my fate. I entered the Doctor's office and we got talking. After explaining my ordeal, She calmly said, “You have a fever though it's not something though it's not something to worry about, you need to take your medications seriously”. She prescribed some drugs and asked me to make payment and take them at the pharmacy store. I left the Doctor's office a bit relieved and reached for Andy who stood up the moment I walked out of the doctor's office. “What did the doctor say”. He asked inquisitively. “Fever”. I replied nonchalantly Maybe I lacked the strength to talk or I was angry at the fact that we might miss an Important deal because of a mere fever. We headed to the accountant’s office to pay. “Your money is a hundred and seventy dollars”. The Accountant said sweetly. He dipped his hand inside his pocket and brought out his Credit card, Made payment, We took the drugs in return, took the exit turn and headed for the car. We entered the car, Fastened our safety belts “Take us to my favorite restaurant”. He ordered the driver. “Sir the contract, our client” I asked with so much concern. “That can wait, you have to eat to enable you take your medications”. There is something about this man that is Irresistible. Beneath all this arrogance and meanness is this caring and kind man. I really want to hate this man but he is making it impossible for me. We drove to “Home Of Good Meal” restaurant and we had really nice food and I was able to take my drugs. He got some food for the driver too. He proceeded to drop me off at home.
