Author: : MichelleZeah
Genre: Romance
Matilda Huston is a 25 years old woman with a painful past, living alone and escaping from her abusive past. She moved to Canada a few months back and got a job at a multinational company. She was living a peaceful life till she met her new boss Easton Fanaggaen who made her life ups and down through his bullying. Little did he knows, they shared a moment long ago when she was in her college years and he remembers that. Easton Fanaggaen is a 27 years old hot billionaire and the CEO of Fanaggaen&Co whose business chains are spread throughout the world. He is handsome, hot sexy, tall, and rich, everything a girl wants. He does not believe in love and he just had those typical one-night stands. His belief is proved wrong when he saw Matilda for the first time and is smitten by her. He asks her to be his forge fiancée to run away from the marriage his parents have framed for him. ************ "I will," she said in a dark tone. "Okay let's talk tomorrow, my desperate arrogant boss must have sent me more work through email and I am in the middle of the street so I have to go," she said while rolling her eyes. She was standing in front of the bridge. She hung up the phone and turned around. The horror was standing alive and well in front of her. Her breath stopped and her very own voice was surrounding her head. "Desperate, arrogant" She felt her head spinning around. He was staring at her expressionlessly. He walked slowly towards her while she walked backward. "Desperate? Arrogant? Am I?" he said in a very deep voice. She felt her voice had gone to hell. She was trying to speak but no sound, just words. "I think you have not seen how desperate I can be" he brought his lips near to her ear and said in a whisper. He grabs her and put her on his shoulder. She felt his shoulder blades pinned hardly on her left rib. Warning: The spelling and grammar is bad but I'll try to edit it once the book is completed.

Prologue

He got up from his seat.

"Did you like work here?" he asked in a tone which gives her chills in her spine.

"Yea, yes it good" she said in a broken voice. He walked towards her, it was so much uncomfortable.

"Are you free tonight Miss Huston? I want to give you a welcome treat you will decide the dinner place" he said in a very dirty tone. She felt insecure and anger rush in her veins.

"Mr. Nathan do you give treats to every employ in the company, seems like you work here as a entertainer" she snapped.

She turned to leave, when he had grabbed her hand "Don't you dare to speak to me like that, you junior little worker" he said while grabbing her hand even harder.

She was trying hard to push him away. Finally she had pushed him away and ran out of cabin. She was running towards the lift and luckily it has been opened. Without noticing who is in she got inside the lift. She was about to push 34, when a hand pushed the button. She turned to look. It was Mr. Easton. He looked inside her eyes. They were teary. "Tears!" he thought with shocked.

But his expressions did not changed he has good command over his expressions. He saw her coming out of room no 7 when lift was opened. She was shaking with fear.

She was feeling his chest at her back. She moved ahead to avoid the closeness. His expressions changed and he push the floor 29 again much to her horror.

"Why he is pushing the 29 again?" she thought afraid. "Is he supporting him for what he has done to me?" she came to the conclusion.

"I don't want to work here, He is taking me to that pig again what will happen?" she thought afraid, she was even more shaking with fear.

The lift reached on the 29 again. Unexpectedly he grabbed her arm softly and pulled her with him towards the room no 7. She was so much terrified that she did not resist.

She was getting ready for the interview when her phone started ringing. She grabbed the phone in a rush while adjusting her coat. By looking at the number she smiled widely. She picked up the phone.

"Hi Ivan, how are you? How is my sweet little Azalea?" she asked, smiling widely.

"She is fine she misses her Aunt Matilda" he said laughing from the other side.

"Aww I missed her too Ivan, but you know I can't visit for at least two years" she said sadly.

"No, it's okay Matilda. I know you have just migrated to Canada six months ago, tell me have you found the job?" he asked.

"Yeah I got an interview today and guess what it is the number one industry in the whole Canada" she said happily.

"Whoa best of luck and tell me how it was and I am damn sure you will get this job" he said happily. She smiled.

"Okay Ivan, I will call you in the evening when it will be morning in Malaysia" she said happily. She hung up the phone and turned to grab her bag. She finally looked at herself in the mirror, she was ready for the interview.

******

Six months ago Matilda Huston immigrated to Canada, Ottawa. She had chosen this country because of its wonderful opportunities. She settled in Canada, it took her six months to adjust and she had given many interviews but no one has answered her, today she had another interview. As the office was a bit far from the apartment she was living in, it took her an hour to reach there. But luckily she left earlier, so she reached on time.

There were a lot of candidates; they took the seat nearby some random brunette girl. It has been six months she had been living here and she never had made any friends. She was a bit anti-social. The only person she talked to was Ivan, her best friend.

After half an hour her name was called. She got up and got inside the office. It was the whole board sitting in the office for the interview, she took a deep breath and sat on the seat. They have asked her some random questions. It was quite a good interview. She was sure she would get the job. It was a personal assistant position. She wanted this job really badly.

******

It was already evening when she came back home. She took her phone and called Ivan. "Yeah Ivan it was good I am sure I will get this job" she said happily. "I am really happy for you Matilda since you have been through a lot....." he was saying sadly when she cut him off in the middle. "Ivan you know I don't like to talk on this topic" she said in a bitter way. "I know Matilda, I am so happy for you" he said. She smiled. "Good night Ivan, I will call you tomorrow. I am so tired, you know the office is one hour away from my apartment" she said. "Take rest Matilda I will call you soon" he said smiling and hung up. She smiled. She lay on the bed and she smiled bitterly.

******

She was sleeping and it was already 9 O' clock. She overslept due to insomnia last night. She put off the eye mask she was wearing. She grabbed her phone from the side table. It was an unknown number. She picked it up. "Hello!" she said in a sleepy voice.

There was some woman from the other side. "Miss Huston! I am Sara Peterson from Finnegan's industry's HR department; you have been selected as personal assistant at Finnegan's industry. She got up in a rush. "You are expected at the office tomorrow morning Thank you" the woman said "Yeah I will at time there" she hung up the phone. She was so happy, she has been looking for the job for weeks.

******

She wanted to buy some clothes for her office. She entered the mall nearby her department. She was checking on the blue back cross top when she heard someone was insulting a salesgirl. "You don't know who I am, I will close you mall" she turned to look, it was an arrogant looking blond girl "I am sorry Mam, I am telling you the dress has already been sold you can choose any other dress from the shop" said the salesgirl. "No I will complain to your manager" said the blond girl. She rolled her eyes. The manager had arrived and was now trying to calm her down but she was still screaming like a mad woman. "It was only a dress and she is creating a scene" said the salesgirl in a whisper. But unfortunately to her the woman heard her.

"What you said? You cheap little bitch" said the blond and she was about to slap her when Matilda ran to rescue. She grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"How dare you? You can't beat anyone like that, despite who the hell you are?" she said angrily. The woman pushes her hand away with nasty looks.

"How dare you stop me? You don't know who I am? I am the top ambassador of the pearl fashion industry" she said angrily.

"And you little dumb has touched me with your dirty hands, you gonna pay for what you have done" she said angrily and then she raised her hand to hit Matilda, But someone has stopped her in the middle.

It was some tall man in his mid twenties. He had dark blue eyes and dark fawn hairs. He had a very strong personality. Both the girl and manager were staring at him like they knew him. His face was poker.

The blond girl turned to look and her expressions changed to terrifying. "Mr., Mr. Easton!" she said in a terrifying voice.

"Miss jean! Being a top fashion model of the magazine and an ambassador of the brand, you should not do something like that, you should not give chances to the paparazzi to take beautiful pictures of yours damaging the company's reputations" he said expressionlessly.

"Mr. Easton I, I am sorry I, I" she was trying to say something but her words were betraying her. He took out some cash from his wallet and gave it to the sales girl. The blond woman gave a nasty to look to the salesgirls and then to Matilda and she left.

"Here take these for your harm" he said and turned to leave not before giving a cold sigh to Matilda, who was confused why he was giving her such a glance, she started looking away.

"You okay?" she asked. "Yeah I am fine" said the salesgirl.

"Who was he?" she asked. "Are you new to the town? You don't know Mr. Easton?" asked the manager and left giving her a strange glance. The salesgirl laughs.

"He is Mr. Easton, the top business tycoon of the Canada" she said while looking outside of the door where he was sitting in his car with a blond girl. "Who is she and why does he pay for her?" she asked curiously.

"She is the top model of one of Mr. Easton's industries, and his recent girlfriend" she said with nasty expressions. "Riches bring such ugly beauties like bees around honey" she said bitterly and left.

****************

It was her first day in the industry; she wanted everything to be well and good. She went to the Hr department. A tall blond woman was sitting on the seat. "Welcome Miss Huston! I was waiting for you, let's start the work" said the woman. She got up from her chair.

"My name is Natalie and I am head of Hr department here, you have been hired as Personal Assistant of CEO and your work is to make lists, arranging contracts and follow the boss in the meetings, managing emails, now here first bring this pile of contract to the CEO'S office" Natalie said smiling. She smiled in return and took the pile of contracts.

"Where is the office?" she asked. "Yeah on the 34 floor the solo office" Natalie said while signing a document. "34 floors?" she said in a whisper. "Yeah!" said Natalie without looking at her. She has had acrophobia since she was child, thinking about childhood brings a lot of bad memories for her. She fake smiles and turned to leave for the lift. She entered the lift, and pressed the 34 button, as it was going up her heart was dropping. She took a deep breath after a few minutes she was at the expected floor. The office was indeed so big. There was a door at the end, with the CEO written over it. She knocked on the door. "Come in" a very deep voice said.

******

She opened the door and got in. She was holding the huge pile of files, so she was unable to see ahead. She walked slowly toward the desk where he was sitting "Mr. Finnegan here are the contracts from the Hr department, please look upon them" she said while putting a pile over his desk and then her eyes went upon his handsome face.

"Mr. Easton," she whispered. He was writing something on the notebook, he looked up while raising his one eyebrow.

"Miss Huston!" he called out in a deep voice. But she was lost in her own thoughts. "Miss Huston!" he called out again and this time with a bit of anger. She came into herself again and it was embarrassing for her. He cleared his thoughts. "You may take your desk over there and send a few emails about the product to co-operate brand" he said while pointing at the nearby desk. She nodded and walked towards the desk.

"What I have done it's so embarrassing" she thought while scolding herself.

She was sending emails when she heard his voice. "You were five minutes late Miss Huston" he said without looking at her, he was instead writing something over the pad. "I, I am sorry Mr. Finnegan" she said while getting up from her seat. "Call me Mr. Easton! I prefer my name" he said with a rude accent.

She sat on the seat again and started working. He peaked at her from the corner of his eyes.

"Bring me the Juice" he ordered with his usual rude accent. With his sudden voice she had gone startled. He looked at her with his one eyebrow raised. She got up and went to the nearby small office kitchen in his room.

"Wait I did not ask him what juice?" she thought. She turned to ask him but he was not in the office. She rolled her eyes.

Seems like I have to use some brains here" she thought.

After a while the juice was prepared, she went back to his desk, he was standing next to the glass wall which shows the whole city view. She was afraid to go ahead because of her Acrophobia.

"Come on I can do that, it's for my job, my bills my survival" she was trying to calm herself, when he suddenly turned.

"Miss Huston, will the glass fly over to me?" he asked arrogantly. She walks slowly towards him without looking at his back. She gives him the glass. He took a sip and then gave her a sigh, a very strange poker face sigh.

She returns his gaze by the same sigh like she is asking "What?".

"I don't like lemons" he said expressionless. "Bring me Apple juice" he ordered again.

She felt her temper losing its limit. She turned and made apple juice and gave it to him within 10 minutes.

He took a sip and turned towards the city view again, she took a deep breath "At least he like this" she thought and was turning towards her desk, when she heard his cold voice, "Its not good enough". She felt like she is losing her mind or he is just so needy.

"I will try my best next time Mr. Easton" she said hesitantly. He did not respond.

"Great I have to work with this corpse like man" she thought and started sending emails again.

Chapter 3 Arrogant

It was a very tiring day with her arrogant boss, who was continuously telling her his needs.

"Bring me tea, arrange the files, you have not counted the meeting" she said annoyed. "Whoa Whoa Relax what happened? You seem so annoyed" said Ivan from the other side of the phone.

"Its my boss at the office, he is so annoying, continuously calling me, like I am Cinderella and he is an evil stepmother, sisters, all in one" she said angrily. Ivan laughs on the other side.

"Yeah go on enjoy" she said annoyed. "Daddy, Daddy, I want to talk to aunt Matilda," said a little girl from the other side. "Hello Azalea, how is my little bunny?" she asked with love.

"I am fine aunt, I miss you, mommy says, you will be back soon but I really miss you" she said sadly from the other side.

"Aww don't be sad okay tell me what you want I will send you on this Christmas okay?" she asked. "I want a teddy bear and chocolates for the Christmas" she said happily.

"Anything for my little muffin" she said, smiling. Azalea gives the phone to Ivan again.

"Yeah spoiling your niece" he said. "Not as much spoiling as his father used to be" she said chuckled. "Hey!" said Ivan.

"Where is Patricia?" she asked.

"She has gone with my mother for groceries" he said.

Then her phone started showing a call from an unknown number.

"Ivan I will call you later, I got another call, take care" she said and hung up. She picked the other call. "Hello!" she said.

"Hello!" said a very deep voice from the other side.

"Hello who is it?" she asked.

"Prepare the Agreement paper for the brand tonight, I want them on my desk tomorrow" he said from the other side and without hearing her he hung up the phone.

She stared at the Phone "Where did he get my number?" she thought. And then she came into herself. "Agree-ment?" she said, startled.

"The jerk wants the agreement paper within a night. What am I? I am an artificial intelligence?" she said loudly.

It took her five hours to make those papers, and she has been drinking coffee for the whole night. Finally at 4 O Clock she had completed her work. She went to bed.

***************

She went inside the lift. She does not want to be late, she knows he will be more arrogant if she does so. She got out of the lift and walked in a rush towards his room. She knocked on the door but he was not responding, she had the keys to the door Natalie had given her yesterday. She opened the door, but the view in front of her was displeasing. She gasped, her cheeks turned bright pink.

The supermodel of the company was laying on the table while Mr Easton was bending over her. It was definitely a compromising condition. His expressions changed to stone. He got up and folded his arms. Jane also got up and there was anger over her face,

"I am totally fired today" she thought.

"How dare you enter the office without knocking?" said Jane, it was the same girl from the shopping mall. "Easton honey, Isn't the same girl from the mall? What this bitch is doing here? Manner less, you should not work here, you should be there in the mall with that creep salesgirl" she nastily.

She was clearly bullying her, which brought a lot of bad memories to her.

"Look at her, I think she is older than us, she must have repeated the classes" a voice came inside her mind. "She should not sit with us," said another voice.

She promised herself that she would not cry and she would defend herself this time, but she did not say a word instead she was staring at the floor.

"I should speak for myself" said a voice inside her. "You poor little creep, you are like your father" said another voice. "Why are you not like a girl?" another same voice. An unconditional tear fell from her eye.

He was staring at her expressionless and was not saying anything. When he saw tears in eyes, he was startled, he thought she would say something, apologize or at least she would defend herself but she was not saying anything. It was like she was not here, she was somewhere else.

"Out now" he said with a cold voice.

She turned to leave when she heard a cold voice again "Not you, you leave now" she turned to look he was telling Jane to leave who stood there in disbelief.

"Me? Why are you sending me out darling?" she asked sugarcoated. His expressions were stone, like poker faces. "Leave" he said in a cold voice. His expressions were dangerously serious. Jane left in fury.

He turned towards his desk. "Do you want to stand there for the whole day?" he snapped. She walked towards her desk and put the document on the table. She put the Agreement over his desk.

"Mr. Easton, agreement is ready" she said in a very low tone. She did not sleep well last night, she was feeling exhausted. He looked at her and said "Drink some coffee".

She walked towards the kitchen in the same cabin.

She was feeling quite well after drinking coffee. She has to do a lot of work today. She started working, when she heard him "Not that bad" he said in a cold voice. He had gone through the agreement.

"Thank you Mr. Easton" she said softly.

"Wow he is genius; he has gone through the 100 pages agreement within 10 minutes" she thought.

*************

She was upset because of the morning incident. The whole day was a bit quiet, as he was so much less talk- active.

"He is so quiet, why doesn't he speak much?" she thought.

"Miss Huston! Make me a tea" he said in a deep voice. She got up and after 10 minutes she brought a cup of tea.

"Mr. Easton, I did not know how much sugar you would like to take, so I brought the pot with me" she said while putting the cut on the table.

"Half spoon" he said without looking at her. He was very cold. She added half spoon sugar in his tea, and turned towards her desk. She looked at him from the corner of her eyes. His expressions were unreadable.

"He looks so terrifying, when he does not speak" she thought.

"Do you want to say something Miss Huston?" he said with a cold voice. She had been catching red hands while staring at him.

"Mr. Easton, I want to say that we have a meeting after three day with Freedove and I wanted to remind you" she said confidently.

"Ok," he said shortly. She was feeling so embarrassed.

"She is clever" he thought while staring at his screen.

**************

She was waiting outside the office building for Uber when she heard something.

She turned and the cat was injured and crying with pain. She runs towards it.

"Oh no poor little creature" she picked it up in her arms and was now patting it.

"I will nurse you, don't worry" she said worriedly. She walked towards the nearby tree and sat beside it with the cat. The cat was still in pain. She took the handkerchief and tied it around the injured leg of the cat.

"Just hold on for a while, the Uber would be here at anytime" she said worriedly. She checked her phone and the Uber was five minutes away.

*************

He was going home when his mother called him to come, he got inside the car and started it. He was now outside of the parking building when he saw her; she was sitting beside the tree with a cat.

"What is she doing here?" he thought. She looked very worried. Her expressions were so sad.

"What happened to her?" he thought. He was about to get out of the car when he saw a car approaching her. She got up in a rush and took the cat inside the car.

"She took the cat with her?" he thought and then a smirk came over his face.

*****************

She brought it home in a rush and started searching for the first aid kit. She settled the cat on the couch.

"Here, are you feeling well little one?" she asked the cat and she got up.

"You must be hungry, let's give you some treat" she said and put some milk in a bowl and put the bowl in front of the cat. The cat started drinking. She smiled.

****************

She entered the office when Natalie screamed out her name as she was about to go inside the lift. "Yes Miss Natalie" she said. "These are textile reports, as I have to arrange board meeting so I don't have time, can you give this Mr. Nathan on the 29 floor room no 7?" she said, exhausted.

"Yeah sure Miss Natalie I will" she said and took the textile reports.

"Thank you Miss Huston," she smiled softly and got inside the lift.

She pressed 29.

******

She entered room no 7. A man in his 40s was typing something on the laptop.

"Mr. Nathan? Miss Natalie has asked me to give you these textile reports" she said while putting the reports on his desk. He looked up at her. He was peeking at her from head to shoe. She felt very uncomfortable. She turned to leave.

"You are a new employee here?" he said.

She turned again. "Yeah I am new here," she replied shortly.

He got up from his seat.

"Did you like working here?" he asked in a tone which gave her chills in her spine.

"Yea, yes it is good" she said in a broken voice. He walked towards her, it was so uncomfortable.

"Are you free tonight Miss Huston? I want to give you a welcome treat. You will decide the dinner place" he said in a very dirty tone. She felt insecure and anger rushed in her veins.

"Mr. Nathan, do you give treats to every employee in the company, it seems like you work here as a entertainer" she snapped.

She turned to leave, when he had grabbed her hand "Don't you dare to speak to me like that, you junior little worker" he said while grabbing her hand even harder.

She was trying hard to push him away. Finally she pushed him away and ran out of the cabin. She was running towards the lift and luckily it had opened.

"I don't want to work here, He is taking me to that pig again. What will happen?" she thought afraid, she was even more shaking with fear.

The lift reached 29 again. Unexpectedly he grabbed her arm softly and pulled her with him towards room no 7. She was so terrified that she did not resist.
