"Why can't you come back?" He sniffed, eyes red and blazing with love, and pangs of guilt gnawing on my chest. "My heart beats only for you," he continued, knees propped hard on the floor and head slightly bent. I felt like the devil himself as I watched tears flow uncontrollably from his eyes.
He would not understand, would he? I bit my lips nervously wishing there was something I could do to console him.
"Your sight alone quenches my thirst and hunger. Come back to me and I'll accommodate both you and your daughter," he broke into a weak sob "Come back to me, lest I die," he breathed heavily, holding his chest as he voiced the words and my heart sliced into shreds.
"Oh, Edward!" My rehearsed self-control slipped from its firm stand. "I want nothing more but to stand in your arms forever," my voice vibrated with a brewing sob. "But I'm no more the girl you used to love, I'm now a Prostitute!"


Orphaned Roxanne, manages to land a job as a cleaner in a very prestigious company after four years of waiting helplessly. 
But this job comes with many tasking responsibilities that keep her forever on her toes. One of them being the fact that she has to keep herself from drowning in the grumpy CEO's lusty bed

"I'd love to be alone with the patient" Raymond ordered, drawing out the hospital seat to sit beside Roxanne's bed. 


He was certainly joking, for there was no way I was going to let him be alone with Roxanne. Certainly not after knowing about his romantic interest in Roxanne.


"You heard him Sir" the thin-lipped doctor seconded the order, giving me a stern look. 


"There's no way I'd let Roxanne be alone with this man" I voiced out strongly, waking Roxanne from her deep slumber


"Surely nothing is shielding the door. Why do you say there's no way?" The thin-lipped doctor creased his brows, eyeing me from head to toe.


I was taken aback. I never knew doctors could eye people.


"What's going on?" Roxanne stretched fully coming into consciousness. She wiped her eyes elegantly, before noticing the strangers in the room. She stared suspiciously at Raymond and acted reflexively in a cower
