Time wasn't on my side, it was ticking so fast, i felt weaker by the day, but i had to stay strong, a lot of things was going through my mind, a lot was going on and my wife thinks i have no idea about what she's doing.

She has been cheating on me under the pretense of satisfying her sexual urge, i've tried so hard to stop her, but she is addicted and us bent on doing as she pleases, Now she's pretending to care about me because I'm sick.

Max is about to get a surrogate, I'll support him all the way because I fell he knows what he is doing. My last child, Bianca has taken after her mum. I feel so bad for my family, but u can't do a thing which sucks more. I'll need to see my lawyer to finalize my will soon.

Cecilia's POV

The boss has been away from the office for some days, I'm really bent on seeing him, i miss him so much, j wouldn't call it an obsession, buy i am in love with my boss and I won't let any woman take him away from me, especially Amelia, his personal secretary, they seem close, close enough to tell each other things, i really can't stand her. I'll do anything to eliminate her, if he tries to get in my way.

The last sex i had with my boss some months ago seems like today, the way he grabbed me made me smilez damn!,he was so good, i bet he would be good in bed too.

He his my boss and I'm not supposed to have thoughts like this, i just can't help it. He his too sexy not to drool on, his abs are just perfect, he his a billionaire and he his so humble, he would never sleep with anyone, he had no flaws,but when he slept with me, i thought everything changed, but it didn't, it turned out he was depressed and needed a break.

Anthonio, his friend and business partner was such a pain the neck, anytime he was around, he made sure to always monitor me, incase i wasn't doing anything and was idle.

Amelia walked pass my table, ignoring me and shaking her head, i looked at her face and she seemed stressed, i wouldn't blame her, she had so much to do, why would I even care?.

Amelia's POV

I sipped the coffee on my table with a look of disappointment. The boss didnyb one to work today again, he left me a note on what to do and the documents I needed to sign.

I felt so bad because I couldn't concentrate, even though he makes me work so much when he his around, i just can't help it.

I become shy and do crazy things when he his around, i remembered pouring a cup of tea on his table, when he began bragging about how expensive the suit was, i was drooling and didn't know when the cup was filled. It was so embarrassing and he smiled making my heart flutter.

It was something i couldn't help.... I remember seeing him with Cecilia, that was the worst, i just couldn't believe my eyes, it made me like him more. I wasn't ready to drag a man or be dragged by a lady for taking her man, if he likes me, so be it and if he doesn't, I'll just move on.

Tired from thinking, I decided to walk around the company, i met Cecilia bitting her fingers, i wondered what was going on in her mind since she was so obsessed with the boss to give him her body, i wouldn't blame her, she wasn't the only one who threw herself at him, so many people would do anything to sleep with the boss, the thoughts of almost made me go crazy, i sighed , shook my head and walked off.

Walking back to the office, i heard my phone ring, u rushed to pick it and it was my boss.

"Hello sir, Good morning sir", i said to him, "Amelia, can you come over now, we have a lot to do, I'll tell my driver to pick you up", he said and hung up before I could even say anything.

But did i hear him say he has a driver, or did he drink something, i went out silently to avoid suspicions from other workers.

I saw the driver and greeted him, i was surprised he really had a driver.

We drove silently to my bosses house, i walked in and the house was magnificent as usual, i was told to go in, to my greatest amazement, i saw 3 maids in the sitting room, "Hello Ma'am, Good morning", they all greeted and bowed. What in the world was going on here?, "Hi, good morning", i replied quietly, "Please make your self comfortable", they said and left, this was frightening, My boss would never keep maids in his home, What was going on?, Is this another house, Was he kidnapped, Oh My God what happened to him?", So many questions were going through my mind, until I saw my boss coming down the stairs, he was more handsome this time than ever.... I bet i was going to stutter again.

Maxmillan's POV

It was the second day of Alice Richardson's stay in my house, so far nothing had been suspicious, i thought about Amelia, i had left her to do a lot of work over the past few days, it must have been so hard for her to do alone, Why don't u tell her to come over and do the work at my place today, After all, i have a lot of contracts to sign for.

I picked my phone and called her, she would always pick at first ring, i guess she was busy, i decided to call her again, and she picked immediately, i told her to come over and my driver was going to bring her, i heard a slight pause when I talked about my driver, she knew i didn't have any driver and i didn't like mixing with people.

She must have been shocked, 15 minutes later, my driver drove unto my compound, opening the door for her, she bowed slightly, inqas watching the CCTV footage installed outside. I walked out of my rooms and went down the stairs, she walked in and saw 3 maids greeting her, she was dumbfounded, i could feel it, was i really that weird?, She's making me feel so uncomfortable if she keeps staring at the maids like that.

Amelia was looking so pretty as usual, even when she tries so hard to cover up her curves by dressing so modest, i wonder why she does that, I'll like her better if she dresses really wild, i don't know what she is avoiding, i liked her as my personal secretary, nothing more. Her curves were round and her gown suited her perfectly, she was on low heels, she looked up and her eyes caught mine, she looked glamorous, and she kept staring it me, it was so discomforting, untill i cleared my throat... "Hmm..hmm.hmmm..", i had said distracting her.

"Good morning sir", she said with a bow and so much respect, including a smile, the maid excused us briefly. "I know you must be shocked to see this in my house right now, it's for a reason", i said with a slight smile. "I am more than shocked right now, what reason sir, if i may ask", she replied, eager to know what I was about saying. "Well, i really don't know how to say this, you are aware I've gone through a lot after my failed marriage right", i said breathing slowly, "Yes sir", she said with a sad face.

"Well, i ehmm... I finally decided to get a surrogate, I'll be having a child through insemination...", "Wait, What??", She said in shock and horror which made me tremble a bit, "Erhhmmm.... Sir why did you do that?", She said sadly.

"I need a child to take up the company already, I'm really desperate for one, but please can you not tell anyone about it yet, please" i said softly, Tears dropped from her face and u didn't know why... I was confused..
