'GOD please guide me for what I am going to do now, for the sake of my sister this is for her. You take care of me Dear God.' I closed my eyes as I silently pray. We are now entering into the place where the person I am going to serve for the whole night is waiting for me. The person who bought me.

I was scorted by one of the organization's staff. It was very hard for me to step on my foot because of the nervousness, and the speed of my heart beat that I could not understand.

"Miss are you okey?" The man who is with me now asked. I looked at him and just nodded. Maybe he sensed how I felt right now. We are not allowed to talk to the person who are going to scort us. It is forbidden, except to the event organizer. Because that's the organizations tight rules.

And his voice and appearance are so scary, he looks like a goons with the villains in the movie. I just toke a deep sigh.

Little did I know, we already stopped in front of the elevator. And it soon opened and we entered immidiately. I coudn't help but to look at my reflection on the elevator wall, as if it were a mirror.

I could not barely recognize my self, they made me so beautiful. They let me wear a black lace see through night dress that was up to half of my thighs. Which to match the color of my skin. I am not very white but also not dark complection.

Although it was covered with silky black robe, which reached to the top of my knee. But I still look so sexy on it, and I match it with this three inches high heels sandal which further hightens my height five feet and six inches.

I also wore a lavander colored mask, sorrounded by a small, shiny stones. That fits on my pretty face, and almost covers half of my face.

I was little bit surprised by the sound of the elevator signal that means elevator were already reached the detination.

"Miss room P-A." He said to me when the elevatorr opened. I just nodded at him before stepping out.

I roamed my eyes around and stepped to find the said room. I saw it easily, because there were only two doors on this floor.

One was the fire exit were at the end, and the other was the door I was going to. That almost occupied half of this floor, because the half was the waiting and rest area.

I was already in front of the door, a few more times I raised my hand to press the doorbell. My chest was about to explode with the extreme of nervousness I was feeling right now.

I took a deep breath before I decided to press it. Soon the door opened, and a man standing in front of me now. Who also wore a mask that was the color that I was wearing, but for him with the sense of masculine. His hazel brown color eyes are very sharp when staring and his nose were also sharp and pointed. And his lips are those kissable lips.

There is no denying that he is handsome. And OMG, the body swells and the muscles obviously are those well worked out.

There are small letters tattooed on the right of his chest, "Arch." And the abs are really like eight packs that are flattering. Because his half naked only.

"Hmm, did I pass sweety?" I suddenly look at his face when I heard him speak, and Oh My God his voice was captivating and uplifting.

My mouth was slightly open, and so my cheeks blushed even more when he smiled as if his flirting while looking at me.

"You can open your mouth later for me honey." When he spoke again. I suddenly bowed out of shame. I was even shaken when he held my hand. Because of electricity like, flowed through whole my body.

It was like I was burnt in the extreme of heat coming from him. Then he pulled me in inside his suit, I could not help but to impressed by its beauty and a size.

He immediately kissed me as soon as the door closed and leaned me on it. Suddenly my eyes widened in shock, this is my first kiss and his lips were very soft and hot.

One of his hands was on my neck and the other was closed to my waist. He slowly sip and bite my lower lip. My lips seemed to have a mind of their own and imitated every move of his lips.

That's the reason why his kisses became even more aggressive. "Hmm." I couldn't help but moan at the deliciousness of his kiss.

And I wanted to protest when he suddenly stopped kissing me. "The sweetest lips that I ever tested sweety." He whispered breathlessly to me. I hadn't caught enough air when he kissed me again. I clings on his neck when I felt I was slowly rise in the air. He led me into a room, and I slowly felt my back touch the softness of the bed. While he was on top of me, without breaking out our kiss. His hands began to twitch, caressing my arms.

Then I felt his warm palm on my chest. Caressing, squeezing, and I turned out I was wearing nothing while his lips did not stop kissing my lips.

"Ohhh please." I couldn't stop moaning, Even more when his lips dropped to my navel and his tongue twirtled around.

"Ohhh god." I couldn't help but to sigh. I feel like I'm going crazy for what he did to my body. I can no longer control my self and my hands like it have their own minds to move.

I tagged at him even more as his lips dropped into my stomach going down there.

It feels so good, I felt the heat on my cheeks. Without breaking his eyes on me he keep on caresing me, I suddenly blushed again as I watched him do what he was doing.

He slowly stood up and took off his pants along with his boxer short. And OMG my eyes widened and I was feel 'Oh' to what I saw. He's huge I can't help but to swallowed my saliva while looking at it. 'Will it fit on me? God be mercyful.'

"Don't worry sweety it will fit on you trust me." He seemed to read what I was thinking.

"OUCH." A tears falls in my eyes. "Sorry sweety I don't mean to hurt you." As he said to me. "Do you want me to stop?" He asked me with the trace of concern in his voice.

I shook my head. I do not want him to stop of what he is doing. He still seemed hesitant, so I gave him a sweet smile. And he start to kiss my lips again.

I SLOWLY get up and picked up my scattered clothes everywhere. Sore down there, and its hard for me to moved but I still insisted.

When I already get dressed, I hurriedly walked to the door, and a last look to him and whispered "Thank you Mr." Before I finally left the room.

SHAKEER's POV

"Good Morning Ate-(Big Sister/Elder Sister)." My sister Shaina greeted me when she entered the house. She's just arrived from work, because she's on night shift duty. My youngest sister is a nurse at one of the biggest hospital here in Manila.

"Good morning too Ina." I also greeted her and I smiled at her I saw in her face was very tired and pale. "Are there many patients today?" I asked her.

"Not much Ate, but I was one of those who assisted the Doctor in the operating room. He was a car accident patient, its a miracle, he still alive. Even he got a lot injuries in that accident, and I don't know if he can still walk." She answered me, and I could see sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sure he'll be okay, didn't you say that he's miraculously survived. So it does mean that he is brave and strong enough. No need to worry okey, now go ahead and change first and let's have breakfast together."

I told her, and I headed to the kitchen. And she was in her room. Later, she came out with a towel and went to the Comfort Room. "I'm just going to take a bath Ate." I just nodded at her.

Me and my sister were orphaned. Mom and Dad died in the same accident. The bus they were riding was crashed because it lost its brakes. I was twenty years old then and Shaina was only fourteen. We have no any relatives because our parents are both grown up in an orphanage. And they don't know who their parents are. Even though it was difficult for both of us to survive but we did, in Gods grace. So here we are, and now with my son Shawn Arch. Arch, was coming from the letters tattooed on his father's chest.

We only rented a small apartment, with two bedrooms. The living room and kitchen are connected, with only a small divider in the middle that serves as a barrier.

We didn't have much things too, in the living room there was a small coffee table. Two single seats and a little bit bigger couch that fit for three persons. And a small flat screen TV, while in the kitchen we only have a small refrigerator, stove and a small table just four persons.

The restroom is next to the kitchen area, and it is also small. We've been renting here for five years already.

I already fixed the table when my sister came out from the rest room. "Is Shawn still asleep?" She asked me. And I couldn't help but smile when I heard my son's name. Shawn is five years old, his our strength.

"Good morning Mama, good morning aunt." My son greeted us as he entered the kitchen and gave us a kiss on the cheek when he got close to Shaina and me, and sat down. I could not answer my sister's question because my son is already here.

"Good morning too son." I also greeted my son and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good morning too baby boy." Shaina also greeted him. She would have kissed him too but he avoided her and frowned.

"Aunt! I'm not a baby anymore I'm a big boy now, I'm already five years old." He even showed his aunt his open palm. We just laughed at what my son told us, because he didn't want to be called a baby because he said he was a big boy already.

"Ops ... Sorry? Aunt forgot you were a big boy already." Shaina said to my son and smile. "Oh hey, that's enough, let's eat." I told them. And we started eating, I don't need to feed my son. I just put the foods on his plate and he feed himself. He doesn't want to, because according to him feeding by mom is for baby only. Shawn was only two years old when he learned to used a spoon and fork. He is very independent, he also does not want to be bathed and dressed. He who bathed and dressed himself too, all I need to do is prepared what he needs.

"You want more rice son?" I asked my son when I saw that his plate was empty of rice. We ate Heavy breakfast.

"Yes mama please and egg also." He answered me so I put another spoonful of rice and egg on my son's plate. I'm glad because he ates well.

After a while we already finished eating, "Ate, you might get late from your work, I'll take care of this." Shaina told me. And she started picking up the dishes

Shawn went to the living room, and watching a TV show. I also went into our room and get ready for work. I wore a black knee-length skirt, and a white long sleeve with a collar that was folded to the elbow. And a three inches black high heeled strap sandal as my foot wear. I also put a light make up, and my natural brown hair is in a messy bun with a few strands falling out.

I smiled when I saw my reflection in the mirror, you would not think I already had a child. My body became more shapely after I gave birth to Shawn, I gained weight too. And my chest grew a bit too. My eyes, on the other hand, are like the eyes of a doll, with long eyelashes. Shaina and I had the same eyes, which we inherited from our mother. We both have sharp noses as if sculpted by a great sculptor. Our lips are just average, a kissable lips as they said. Only the shape of our faces were differ, my face is a bit small. While Shaina is bit rounded, our skin color were the same. Not very white but smooth and soft, fair skin mixed with the colors of our parents.

We are both tall, I am five feet and six inches, and Shaina is five feet and five inches.

I went out of the room and took my black sling bag, then I checked myself carefully. I said goodbye to my son first, "Shawn, Mama is going to work be good okey, your aunt Shaina will sleep. She's tired from work, your clothes I already prepared. And your food is just on the table okey." I ordered my son and kissed him on the cheek.

"Yes Mama, don't worry about me I already know what to do. You take care okay?" I just smiled at my son, his really sweet.

"Okay Boss Shawn I will, I love you." I told him.

"I love you too Mama." He also said to me.

"Shaina I'm leaving." I also said goodbye to my sister who was already in her room.

"All right Ate, you take care." She answered me. And I also left the house, and walked a little to the side of the road to wait for a ride. Just one ride to the company where I work. 7:20 am so I just took a taxi for a bit faster, I got on board right away.

Miraculously, I was not stuck in traffic, I only traveled for ten minutes, so I easily reached my destination.

I immediately paid the driver when we arrived and quickly got out of the taxi. I fixed my clothes before walking into the company.

I immediately paid the driver when we arrived and quickly got out of the taxi. I fixed my clothes before walking into the company.

I am a clerk in the marketing department, I've been with this company for three years. The SMITH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (SCC). The biggest and famous construction firm not only here in the country, but also in U.S. And in Middle East.

Shawn was two years old when I went to work again.

"Good morning maam Shareeka." The guards greeted me immediately at the entrance when I entered. "Good morning too." I also greeted them, there were three guards at the door. The rest of them are scattered all over the building.

"Good Morning Miss A. You look so beautiful today." Our receptionist Miss Kate who is also my friend also greeted and smiled at me.

"Hahaha, just for today Miss Kate? Not every day? Anyways, Good Morning too Miss K." I laughed as I telling her.

And I immediately headed to the opposite side of the elevator, along with the other employees waiting for it to open.

Some of my co-employees greeted me too, and I also greeted them. And the others just snabbed and raised there eyebrows. Will I really don't know why they hate me that much. But I just don't pay attention for it, So I just let them, as long as they don't do anything bad at me and get me down. Because they're going to borrow the dog's face if they do.

Soon the elevator opened, and I was about to take a step inside but someone who bumped into me. So I lost my balance and almost fell down, fortunately my movement was so fast. And I did not fall on the floor, the good thing was the impact was not that strong.

I looked at who was responsible, I even saw one of my colleagues grinning and smirking. And she whispered at her companions and they laughed. Actually, they are the group of those who annoyed at me they are four. For the reason? I really don't know why.

I also couldn't get inside because it was already closed, the good thing also is that another one opened and I also entered. There are three elevators here, two and for employees. And the other one is exclusive for the Boss only or VIP.

I also pressed the number 45, the floor which our department was. Every department is on a different floor, and the top one which is the 50th floor is the CEO's office. Ever since, I have never went that floor. Our boss is so strict, you can't just go there by your own. Or can enter the boss's office, Unless he calls you.

Our boss is still young, only twenty-eight. I was two years older than him, and I heard that he had an older brother who was based in the U.S. And he is more strict than our boss.

The elevator rang and opened and I quickly rushed out. I immediately entered to our office, I also have a few co-workers who are already here.

"Good Morning Sha." Thats coming from Marie, she is one of my colleagues and one of my closest friend in our department greeted me.

"Good morning too Marie." I also greeted Marie as I went to my cubicle and put my bag on my desk.

"Hey Sha Mike is inviting us to his birthday party tomorrow night, are you coming with us?" She followed me. Mike is also our companion who is just ahead of Me and Marie. Marie and I entered the company at the same time, actually there's another one its Kris we are three then.

"I'm pass this time Marie, Shaina is busy for work so no one can be with my son at home. And I can't leave him alone in the house." I just explained to her.

"Why don't you just bring your son to party Sha. So you don't have to worry about him, my Party will be at my house only." Marie and I turned to the one who speak, its Mike and he just came in. Mike is tall and handsome guy.

"He's right Sha, so we can get to know your son personally." Kris said she's just behind Mike.

"Thats right Sha, bring Shawn with you." The person next to me Marie added. They looked really excited, I've seen it in their faces.

I was thinking about what they suggested. What they said was true, they have not really met my son in person. Although, they know already I have a child.

"Okay." I said briefly.

"YES!" I laughed because they said it together.

"What time your party Mike?" I asked him.

"You can come at 7PM, enough cuz for sure you guys were really hungry then from work, like a hungry bunny." He said and laughing to us.

"You're really crazy Mike." We said to him and we laughed because of his mischief. The four of us were still laughing when the door suddenly opened, and the Department Head entered she look at us with a raised eyebrow. So we suddenly fell silent and suddenly the three disappeared. And went to their respective areas.

Mrs. Ramos is our department head, very strict during work hours but you can hang up and jokes with her when you are outside. I prefered that kind of deal too, so we can be focused on work.

Later on we are all became busy with our own works. Until the announcement is heard,

"Paging all the department heads, please proceed to the conference room right now. Paging all the department heads, please proceed to the conference room right now. Thank you."

Mrs. Ramos quickly came out in her small office which is also just inside our department, and quickly headed to the conference room.

We all just looked at each other, because of the call.

"Emergency meeting again, what is it this time." Marie said.

"We will know that when Mrs. Ramos come back." Kris answered Marie's question.

I don't know why I was suddenly felt nervous at that announcement. I do not understand my feelings. The force of my chest throbbing, As if something bad was going to happen.

'My God, why do I have this feeling, what is this all about?' I whispered softly to myself. I inhaled a few more times before starting work again.

Its almost lunch break when Mrs. Ramos came back. And I can see the sadness on her face, something that indicates that something bad has happened. 'What happened at the meeting.' I whispered again to myself.

My questions in mind were immediately answered when she spoke. She took a deep breath before starting.

"Listen everyone, we both know that we were called." We just nodded and no one spoke, everyone wanted to know why.

"The reason is, the CEO's condition is not good. And his critical, due to car accident last night. And he has not woken up yet." We were all shocked by that news and could not believe it. What only I can heard was, "OH MY GOD" and both had their own conclusion on what happened.

"And because of what happened, Sir James will be in charge of the company first. He is Sir Jason's older brother, who was based in the U.S. and please be cooperate. Take note, he is more strict and perfectionest than his brother. Thank you and get back to work." Mrs. Ramos. And walk back to her office.

Suddenly It was as if there were bees inside our office, because of what happened to our boss. And to our future boss.

"LET's go down its already lunch break." Kris said followed by Marie and Mike who were obviously anxious the latter. Maybe because of what happened to our boss.

I carried my bag and went out with them down at the Cafeteria. Weither inside and outside the office or in the Cafeteria, still the same issues. Its all about to our boss, what happened to Mr. Smith is in question. Many questions, others are jumping into conclusion.

We immediately ordered and sat down to eat. We just positioned next the wallglass side at the end. This is our favorite place. Because of this the four of us always in this side of cafertria. While eating, we still talked about what happened to our boss.

Mike suddenly stood up and apologized when his phone rang.

"Ladies sorry I really need to go." And in a hurry to leave. The three of us just looked at each other and returned the food.

We returned to the office immediately when we finnished our lunch.

Afterwards, our daily routine here in the office has ended. And ready to go home. Missing my son already.
