"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

"She said you gave her a tough time," he said disappointedly. "How do you intend to get married if you keep on with this stupid act of yours?" 


"Dad, I've told you this before, i do not have any interest to marrying Dera!" I shouted into the phone, just in case he had lost his hearing "I have a fiancee already, and I love her..."


"See you in my house. I'll be expecting to meet you and the fiancee I chose for you, in an hour's time. Do not keep me waiting," he ended the call after passing the message.


I hit my fist on my office's glass table in frustration.
