ALISHA

POV

My phone rang and I finally woke up and saw it was morning already,I checked the time and realized I was already late for school,I quickly rushed to the bathroom,and started doing almost everything at a time,from brushing to bathing.. My name is Alisha Benson,I'm 21 years,the first and only daughter of my parents,I have a junior brother named Alex,he is the reason why I have to work hard day and night just to make him happy..we are not rich but I am proud to say we are living happily as a family.

My father left us when we were Young,just to be with another woman,since then my mum has been the one taking care of us.

Everyday I watched her and I knew she wasn't happy, she still loves my father even after what he did to us,I also looked for a reason to hate him but I couldn't because no matter what he was still my father and I had good memories of us together...

I quickly put on a pair of trouser and white top,I combed my hair and left it loosed,I checked myself out in the mirror and I was pleased with my looks..

I don't fancy make up,so I don't bother using them,

I put on my sneakers and went downstairs ..

Good morning mum..

She didn't reply,she was staring out through the kitchen window lost in thought ,then I knew she was thinking about him, At that moment I made up my mind,never to let myself fall in love and go through this pain.

I went closer to her and hugged her from the back..

Good morning mum!!

Morning ,my princess,how was your night,hope you slept well.

Yes I ,did ,I replied

Then she forced a smile,I decided not to ask her what the problem was, because I already knew the answer to that..

At that moment,I perceived the smell of burnt cookies and I realized where the smell was coming from

Shit, damnit

Not again.

Mum ,you have to.....

I looked up at her and couldn't complete my statement, because she was already in tears.

I quickly turned off the gas cooker and rushed to her..I hugged her and tried to make her strong..

Mum you know ,you have to be strong for yourself,Alex and I.

it been seventeen Good years since dad left us,you can't just allow this to continue breaking you down..

You have to let Go and accept the truth..

I love you mum

I love you too my princess,she replied in tears..

Mum, Alisha.

I can't find my school bag

Alex shouted, rushing downstairs,we quickly wiped our eyes and moved apart.

Morning my prince,have you checked the playing room for it?

Sorry mum,good morning mum, good morning Alisha.

Morning Alex I replied,I need to get to school now,I'm late already..

Alex be a good boy ,mum take good care of yourself,

I said and stepped out of the house,I decided to walk down to school since my school isn't that far.

I brought out my note book from my bag and checked my schedule ..

After school,I need to get to the restaurant were I work..

With that I hasten my footsteps and I was lucky to get to school on time

DOMINIC

POV

.

How dare you come to my office dressed like this ?

Are you trying to seduce me,how many times will I warn you not to dress like this to my office.

You are fired!!! I shouted

Get out of my office,one word from you and I will get you arrested..

Now get out and I don't want to ever see your face again..

She left immediately afraid of my next action..

Angrily,I picked up my phone and called my best friend Nelson..

Why do you always have to call me at the wrong time? He said breathing heavily.

At that moment ,I knew what he was doing..

I need you to get me a good secretary

I said ignoring his question

What the hell!!!

What happened to the one you employed five days ago

I fired her, I said

You what!!!

I fired her, I replied

And I need you to get me a good secretary and not a slut who will come here to seduce me,with that I hanged up..

I'm Dominic Smith,the only child of late Mr and Mrs Smith,and also the owner of the biggest company in the country..

I get whatever I want no matter how hard it is..

What happened in my past life made me the person I have grown to become now..

To me life was meaningless, because it only brings pain and injuries...

The death of my parents haunt me day and night..I wished my dad never married my mum, because she was the cause of there death..

I started feeling sharp pain in my brain,and I decided to stop thinking about the past....

I opened my suit case ,took a pill of pain relief and relaxed on my chair..

I have been diagnosed with brain tumour for the past 8 years now..

I refused to go for the operation because there is actually nothing to live for..

I have just a year and half to live...

During that one and the half year i have to live,I need to get married and have a son who will take over my company and bear my name,so that my father lineage won't end..

That was my father last request to me before he died..

Not to ever allow his linage end..

I felt my face wet and I realized I was actually shading tears,I quickly cleaned my face and told myself I needed to be strong....

At that moment,I promised myself to make sure,I put the man who destroyed my family in prison before I die....

But first thing first,I need to look for a girl to get married to,a girl that I can trust with my company..
