The little holiday was over and work resume as normal with everyone getting busy, Yasmin resumed early to work than the rest in order to put few things to place.

President Black has always hated a tiny dirt or any trace of error in his space so she had to come in time with the cleaner to monitor their work and see if they had everything properly done, she also has to do a little clean which is why she always had to bring a pair of soft slippers every day to put on and put them off after cleaning to dress up neatly in her heels and not too much perfumed outfit

The first time she had start work with him and had put on too much deodorant to impress him, was the day she received a great humiliation as she was told to go wash them off her body.

Dropping the clean napkin on her desk after a thorough cleaning, the incident flash back into her memory once again and she felt her chest tightened in unknown excitement and fear

Should she assume that finally after eight years of one side crush, there is finally a positive response? But the look on his face when he saw her beside him doesn’t look good at all, he seems mad and disappointed.

Eight years ago when Yasmin became an employee she had encounter President Black back then and he saved her from a gracious fall and helped her with her shoes, something she never expected since then she has develop a soft spot for him and has always stare and admire him from afar with hope of getting closer to him someday.

Luckily for her in her fourth year working in the company, one of the Bosses had made a terrible mistake with the presentation and she being a junior worker then had step in to help, then and there President Black saw her potential and promoted her to be his personal assistant, an opportunity she has always wished for.

At her first day she wore a new outfit and spray herself with perfume and put on a long heels

“You smell like dog pee”

He had commented in front of everyone presence in the room and Yasmin felt so humiliated in his presence

“you didn’t come here to seduce me but to work hard for me so get rid of this smell this minute and make sure your shoes aren’t so ugly next time, plus I hate the new smell coming from your outfit, change it” he ordered

Yasmin had wished at that moment to be carried away into the air or better still disappear into it. That very day she had change everything she put on apart from her inner wears.

The news went out to all like wildfire and she was taunt by it for many days that she so much regretted trying to seduce him although he turned out not to be as nice as she imagine but her love for him never died rather she determined to work so hard and impress him once again with her intelligence.

But life isn’t what she had planned, it was harder pleasing him and working for him but she changed completely after months she felt it was a mission impossible seeing the narcissistic person he is.

But afterall all these years and even when he got married she never let go of her feelings for him rather she kept it to herself and continue to desire him secretively.

Work begin at the early hours and soon she put aside her worries and focus on work, when he came to work he kept a straight face at her as he always do and didn’t say or hint her so she thought maybe he’s going to pretend nothing happened between but she know for sure she can’t just keep it to herself.

“Let go eat lunch” she announced to her standing from her desk, she only had tea in the morning out of anxiousness and feels so hungry now. Everyone stood up and pause their work to go out for lunch but then before they leave he came into the office and call their attention

“Miss. Owens?”

We all looked at Talia whose name is called and she raise her hand in recognition, we all waited for him to say whatever it is he called her for, some looked curious and some looked impatient and hungry but I looked at her in confusion

“Why is he calling for her and not me?” she wondered

“I want to see you in my office now” he said after casting his eyes at her carefully and exit the office, while Talia who seems nervous followed after him and the rest went out for lunch.

Yasmin’s feels unsettled during lunch and quickly finish eating before the others

“I will go back first” she had said and left back to the office before others. She got to the office and sat down while she strain her eyes over to the president office to know if Talia is still in there or not

she look inquisitive towards the office again and decide to bring snacks and coffee to his office, in a hurry she get some snacks and made coffee with no sugar she place carefully on a small tray and proceed to his office.

Just before she got to the door it came open, saving her the trouble of knocking but then president Black came out of the office and Yasmin found herself smiling the moment she saw him, she quickly walk forward and stretch her hands forward a little

“I brought some coffee and snacks” she said with beams

~

Kyler waited for her to come in and keep a straight face, he looked like he was about to break a bad news to her, being a great businessman over the years he is never afraid to speak out his mind but looking at her smiling face, he felt a pang of guilt inside of him but that isn’t enough to make him change his mind.

“Place it here” he told her and watch her do so with excitement, the more he sees her cheerful face, the more he finds his decision difficult to standby.

“Kyler Black never finds it to speak his mind” he console himself and gaze at her looking relaxed

After placing the tray down, Yasmin waited hoping he would say something to her, she really hope he doesn’t want to pretend like nothing happened between them

“Don’t you have something to say to me sir?” she asked after minutes of silent from him

Kyler glance at her and focus back to his computer, after he was done he look back at her again

“Go get your sack letter from Talia” he said and Yasmin excited face turned sour immediately, she doesn’t seems to understand what he just said

“What? I don’t…what?” she asked confused and worried

“I hate repeating myself Yasmin” he said irritably

“But what did I do to deserve being fired?” she wanted to know, she hasn’t except him to fire her after sleeping with her, it was his mistake not hers

“It’s my company not yours and I decided whatever I want, hand over your duties to Talia and leave immediately”

“I think I have the right to know why I I’m being fired” she said stubbornly feeling angry now at the whole thing, first he slept with her and now she’s getting sacked unjustly

“What is my offense president Black?” she demanded to know

“Oh so you want to know, fine I’ll tell you” he said and stood up from his seat approaching her

“But first should I pay you for the sex?” he asked stonily

Yasmin stare dumbstruck at him wondering where that just came from,

“Is he taking her for a slutty bitch who gets paid after sex?’ she asked herself with a heavy heart

“I don’t know what you were expecting but this is it and I’m sure you are not expecting some sort of apology from me”

“Wait, I still don’t get why you should fire you, if you want to keep it secret I mean if you don’t want the incident remembered it’s cool but…”

She almost bite her tongues as she said those words, forget about it? She certainly can’t and neither can she be cool at all

“whether you forget it or not it’s your business but what I’m telling you is I’m in no way responsible for what happened, you climb into my bed remember?” he said and Yasmin felt his words stung her heart, she look at her with hurtful and miserable gaze and watch him stare back unmoved

“What was I expecting anyway?’ she murmur to herself

“I heard that” he snapped

“Maybe they were meant for your ears to hear” she snap back at him not caring anymore, she’s fired anyways

“Just get out and if you need compensation you can tell Talia the amount you want” he said dismissively

“You know I never thought Kyler Black is such a coward who backs off from responsibility”

“Watch your language Miss Cassidy” he fired angrily

Yasmin wipe off the drop of tears that fell on her left cheek and tilt her head confidently

“You should have atleast done this the right way”

“What right way? Making you my mistress or divorcing my wife and getting married to you? Don’t be silly young woman, you are lucky I’m not taking this up”

“You are making this sound like I’m villain who intended to ruin your home whereas I’m the victim”

“Victim?” he asked standing up “if you are the victim you wouldn’t be on my bed way before I arrived there”

“That was…” she wanted to explain but she stop

it’s over there is literally no point in trying to convince him or explain things to him, it’s so obvious he has his thought settled on the fact that she intentionally get into his bed, that’s it she can’t take it any longer.

She burst off his office and march to hers to clear off her table, a final goodbye to Black empire and her long time crush, Kyler Crust Black.

She walk out of the building but just few steps away from it, she change her mind from a final goodbye to a see you soon.

“No matter how long, I will come back and definitely have a comeback on him and his company” she promised and walk away

The plan to finally get rid of her husband and be with who her heart belongs to now was going perfectly for Veronica, these days she has exhausted a lot of things from Kyler all in guilt of having cheated on her.

What’s more it is that they don’t share the same bed anymore and in order to heal her wound she has requested a time space between them which includes a travel out and a secret romantic trip with Conrad.

Life for her couldn’t have been so hard and this for her is the beginning of a new life of freedom, with a divorce paper in place and evidences to proof that he cheated on her, veronica felt on top of her game as she took a cocktail to celebrate her success.

She requested a maid to open the drink and pour her a glass, with her drinks in her hand she click glass to the air and took a tiny sip then dropping the glass as she felt nauseous all of a sudden.

Not wanting to make a big deal she took the glass again and finish the content once and for all but then her stomach begin to feel upset and in a moment she hurried to the bathroom to throw up.

“what the hell” she wondered, not sure why the nauseous pop in, without wasting time she put a call through to the family doctor and ask to see him tomorrow for her checkup.

The illness got worsen the next day and Veronica could hardly get out of bed, she needed so much for Kyler to be there but for more than seven weeks now they haven’t talk to each other and hardly see so there is no way he’s going to be here.

The maid who came in to clean her room saw her weak state and quickly call for a doctor to come over, angry at the maid for calling an unfamiliar doctor to check on her Veronica yelled angrily but seeing she has no choice with the headache and other emotional feelings right now she accept to get treat by her.

“Congratulations ma’am you are pregnant” the doctor announced happily as she help her sit up

“What crab are you talking about? I’m on contraceptives” she said throwing her hands off

“Well madam that doesn’t guarantee hundred percent, although I don’t know why you might not want a child now but I hope you keep this one”

“What?” Veronica yelled reality dawn on her at that moment, this is disastrous, how could she be pregnant this is definitely trouble for her.

“Doc” she grabbed her hands which she had just thrown away minutes past

“I need this baby gone, I don’t care if it cost my life but I definitely can’t have this thing inside of me” she said desperately and the Doctor look on not sure what to do

“Why would you want to hurt yourself rather…?”

“Stop with the crap okay? I don’t need your opinion just do what I asked”

“But ma’am…”

“Five million” she said and the doctor’s countenance lighted up at the amount of money

“To keep your mouth shut and to get rid of this thing without anyone else knowing about it” she offered

“Of course I will try my best to ensure this goes well, my lips are sealed” the doctor agreed and they both decided to contact each other secretly until she could get an abortion.

~

A week after many failed attempt to get an abortion Veronica became devastated on what to do, she has tried many times to get rid of the baby growing in her but to no avail as her life is seriously in line, having no choice left she phoned Conrad to sought out a solution to the disaster.

They met at the usual place and immediately he got into the room and rush at her for a kiss but surprisingly for him she push him off and turn away, not giving up he came behind her and attempt a kiss on her shoulder wanting to take control of her body

this time she almost gave in as the kisses trail down to her cleavage but then remembering the crucial reason for being there in the first place she turn away again and push him off weakly

“Stop Conrad” she half-pleaded

‘What is it? Didn’t you call me here to get laid?” he asked upset at the rejections

“No, I need to talk to you” she answered

Conrad whose desire was to have a crazy sex suddenly lose interest and took out a cigarette from his pocket, he lighted it up and took a puff blowing away

“Can you not smoke and listen to me?” she said angrily at his nonchalant attitude

“No I won’t, not until I whip your ass into a perfect submission” he answered with a playful grin

“I’m pregnant Conrad” she throw the bomb

“So? Congratulations, is that why we can’t have sex?” he said with another puff

“Can’t you get your head over sex and listen to me? This isn’t Kyler’s baby” she screeched.

Conrad dropped the cigarette in his hands and match it with his shoes to put it off scattering his hair in the process

“You could have said that earlier” he said getting out of his horny mood

“You could have aborted it rather than inform me, besides are you not on pills”

“It’s not my fault your manhood was big enough to pierce through everything and result into this” she lashed

“You think I don’t know what to do” she said and pause to catch her breathe

“I can’t have an abortion, I will lose my life if I do” she informed with a piteous look

“Damn!” he cursed biting his thumb in frustration at the news

“Just tell Kyler you are having his baby then” he suggested resorting to his last thought

“That won’t work too” Veronica answered and Conrad frowns wondering what other excuses she has

“I haven’t sleep with Kyler since the incident, if he knows I’m pregnant we are doomed Conrad” she said and hug him to console herself

Okay calm down and let’s think together” he said and brought her to sit on the cushion

They remain in each other’s arm for a while until Veronica lean in for a kiss, Conrad whose body already desired the lust didn’t hesitate to respond.

Half way to their smooching Conrad suddenly pull out an idea in his head on what to do, he shook her slightly excited at his solution

“you shouldn’t sleep with me now you need to make Kyler Black have sex with you before the week runs out” Veronica stared at him trying to force a smile but she couldn’t since his solution seems a bit confusing for her

“Don’t you get it? The pregnant is just a month or thereabout, what if Kyler get to sleep with you before it reaches two months old, then you can claim to have an early birth” he poured smiling at the possible solution

“And that will work?” she asked doubtfully

“Just follow my lead” he assured and hug her again feeling relieved.

~

Just as planned Veronica put on a new cleavage with four strings back and thongs to go with it, already taken her bath with her body fairly wet she lay down on the bed and waited for his arrival.

It been so long since and her body can’t wait to have him although not as much as she craves Conrad.

The long wait suddenly came to an end when she heard the sound of his car driving into the park, feeling excited and a bit nervous she waited till he gets to the room to meet his surprise.

More than twenty minutes was gone and Veronica is starting to get impatient and irritated, how long is she going to wait she wondered to herself seeing no sight of him in the hallway to the room as she peeped

“What could be keeping him? I told the chef not to cook anything and just tell him to come upstairs”

After waiting for like forever she angrily grab her phone and dial the housekeeper’s number and the moment it was receive she spoke angrily

“Where is my husband?”

“ma’am...”

“never mind” she cut the call and quickly put on a nightdress making her way downstairs to see what’s going on

Searching for him, she found Alex in the living room with one of the maids and she approach him to ask questions

“Where is your Boss? Isn’t he here with you? Don’t tell me you came alone, why did you drive his car then?”

“Good evening Mrs. Black, President Black won’t be returning home tonight” he answered and drop the glass of finished water

“What?” she snarled “why? What happened? Why didn’t he call to inform me?” she ask in a rush again

“He just had a lot to do and needed to catch early flight tomorrow morning, also he sent me to inform you”

“And rather than inform me you were busy drinking” she yelled at him passing aggression

Calming down after the yell she asked to know when he will be back and the answer given to her isn’t what she wanted to hear, time is definitely not on her side and the faster she gets to sleep with him the better.

Racing back to the room she pick her phone to call him and see if she could make him change his mind and come back home to sleep but his number isn’t reachable

She resorted to texting instead and told him she already forgave him for the affair and needed him back as soon as possible

“I need you to sleep with me” she begged.

Worried president Black sat the office without doing anything but ruminating his thought and trying to get his emotions to one piece the sooner he does seems to be the better for him Now that she’s back and he might have to keep seeing her more than often.

He had tried to avoid this situation but maybe heavens is playing games with him and brought her back to him again

Kyler had thought once she’s gone everything will be fine but he never imagine her to be back and this time she seems to harbor hatred in her heart towards him.

Remembering today’s meeting with her and the way she countered him with so much effrontery and rendered him almost out of speech made a smile escape his lips as he swivel the chair he is sitting on at the thought.

“Fuck!” he cussed inwardly getting out of his trance and hitting the table in irritation, this is bad for him.

Having the thought of another woman in his heart is something he detest for himself, right from being a twelve years old boy he had made a promise within himself not to end up like his father but with his messed up thought now he couldn’t help but be in despair.

He took his coat and ask his driver to take him to a hotel to spend the night, determine to over this immoral feelings he decided to stay away from Veronica who he can’t help but feel guilt at her sight and until he sort out his emotions and get them into place.

Days were counting so is hours and as each hands click on the watch Veronica heart skips a beat at the fear of failing in her plans, everything she tried to get Kyler back to the house for the past five days failed totally and her patient is running out.

She called Conrad to ask what to do and the only thing he could say to her was to try harder

“You said he won’t fall out of your charm, do what you do best” he had said and claim to be busy then cut the call

“I’m veronica Giuliana” she pick up her back after dressing in a macro skirt and a x-cross top with a peep toes heels, placing her negligee necklace.

Today is the last resort for her to get this done if not she might end up a disgraced woman and kick of Black empire empty-handed, spraying her usual perfume she got out of the house and headed straight to the empire, if they were going to have this sex inside his office she doesn’t care

“Whether under or on the table, which either ways is fine” she was determined and desperate.

~

The last first meeting was a bit messy and unsuccessful so after much deliberation and appeal the new business is on again between the two companies and this time a more organized meeting was scheduled.

Throughout the meeting Yasmin tried to keep her anger, talking and arguing only when needed although she still provoked him but he was also ready to tackle all her tantrums and ended the meeting successfully.

“About the new team to be formed, Miss Cassidy will be the team leader for ARON’s team”

Thompson informed and the new information doesn’t sit well with Kyler, accepting this means he will have to see her much more often

“I don’t think Miss Cassidy will be able to work here, after being fired by this very same company”

“Why can’t I? I didn’t come back for Black but for ARON, president Black and trust me I’m not a coward who runs away rather face issues head up” she replied causing a rise in his anger

“I wish you good luck then Mrs. or Miss Cassidy” he said with a mockery face and walk out of the room.

“Please Yasmin, I know you can’t stand him and hate him but for the sake of the business be professional”

Thompson reminded her just outside the building and she nodded at him with a smile promising to do as much as not letting her feelings get involved again.

Just as their car drove out, Veronica’s car drove in at a fast speed and stepping out of it, people who saw her couldn’t help but admire and marvel on the sexy woman who just arrived, people stare as she walk in and even when she got into the elevator, loving the attention she’s getting her phone rings and it was Kyler

“I’m coming home tonight” he said but she could sense his voice wasn’t at all excited, he sounded disturbed.

“I’m on my way to your office” she said and hang up the phone as the elevator stops.

When she got the secretary’s office she is allowed access to go immediately seeing that it’s the boss lady

“Why are you here?” Kyler asked the second she step into the office

“For you” she said and move closer to him

Kyler didn’t resist but let her catch him instead maybe this is the only way to free himself, having sex with the woman he loves is sure to wash all memories of another woman or whatsoever it is that is still lingering

Veronica came fully at him with a kiss which he assent to, he grab her hips and let their feelings flow in while they share a passionate kiss.

The kiss didn’t last long as Veronica pull down her skirt eagerly and rush in for more but seeing that Kyler is taking it slow she couldn’t help but groan, not satisfied but not going to give up she tug him for more and begin a French kiss to stimulate things and it work just like it always does.

Kyler’s hands quickly went up her dress and he tried to loosen them without breaking the kiss but just as his hands touch the neckline of the dress, he felt a couple of images flash through his head making him stop touching he wanted to pull out of the kiss

But Veronica wouldn’t allow him rather she grab him back with her leg wrapping them around him tightly and desperately.

Mustering his courage he try again continuing their kiss and his hands finding her top again, he decide to go faster about it to avoid what happened seconds ago but then the images flash through him again and a feeling arouse in him

“Lemon sage” he whispered involuntarily

The moment he gave in to his sub conscious feeling, the image of the night in the room came clearly into his head and her face came into picture which made him halt abruptly the kiss and move away from his wife

“What is wrong with you?” Veronica almost yelled

“I can’t do this now, maybe some other time” he excused and walk out of his office

Veronica stomp her feet in defeat and irritation, she almost had him trapped just a minute to seal him down he pull out. She drag her skirt back to her waistline and suddenly reoccur something

“why did he touch me like that?’ she wondered aloud finding it new.

The next day after trying so hard and rejecting his wife throughout the night, Kyler sat tiredly on the long cushion hoping to have a short rest but then his phone rings and he stand up to answer it

“Your wife is in the hospital” the caller informed

~

Kyler ran to the ward where Veronica was laid and plant a kiss on her forehead before turning to the doctor to ask what happened

“Your wife is five weeks pregnant and she attempted an abortion” he said to the perplexed and confused Kyler

“Pregnant? My wife?”

‘Yes and it seems she took some pills to get rid of it, thankfully she was brought on time and we were able to save both mother and child’s lives” he inform happily and went off to do some other duty promising to come back when she awakes

“Why did Veronica try to abort our baby?” he wondered staring at her closed eyes he has always wanted to have his own kids and definitely with her.

Kyler place his palm on his wife stomach trying to see if he could feel the baby that way

“so there is a….five weeks?” he thought remembering the doctor’s word minutes ago he remembered clearly that five weeks was mentioned by the doctor and for six weeks he haven’t had sex with her

“She’s pregnant?” he asked himself again as he withdraw his palm from her stomach not sure what to think.
