Chapter One

The alarm clock goes off and I curse it inside, the desire to stay in my bed and with Mia all day sounds tempting but I have no other choice. I go to the kitchen to make some toast with a coffee, I try not to make too much noise for Mia. I see the time 7.30 I still have time although I hope that the idiot of my boss is late so I don't have to see his face. She enlisted me and I wait for Alanna to arrive to take care of Mia. The doorbell rings and it means it's her.

-Hi hello sister- she gives me a loud kiss on the cheek- Where is my beautiful niece?

-Shh don't speak so loud, he's still sleeping-I didn't want Mia to wake up yet. "Aren't you running late?" She asks somewhat worriedly. -Yes, in fact I should already be dating. See you later baaayy-I rush out to my car and head to hell called work.

Ares

I wake up stunned by an unbearable noise that makes my head ache. I play across the nightstand looking for the cause of my headache, until I find it and manage to turn it off.

But I feel that someone is stirring next to me, I turn slowly and see a blonde hair spread on the pillow so I remember everything. My good friend Eric's bachelor party, which ended up being total chaos to tell the truth. I try to get up without making too much noise but to no avail when I trip over my shoe. "Shit !!" I exclaimed without realizing that I woke up the girl who I didn't even know her name. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up," I said reluctantly.

-I don't worry, you are forgiven just for having made me spend an incredible night-she also begins to look for her clothes and I see her as she leaves, but first she tells me something that leaves me surprised- oh and by the way, I hope you give me my raise in salary little boss. It puzzles me, until then I remember that she was the new secretary in the office and I curse again. Once I get out of my confusion, I head to the bathroom and take a relaxing shower before heading to work. I can be totally late, I'm the boss.

At a hurried pace, I enter the company, meeting everyone's gaze, as they are amazed to see that I wear sunglasses on a cloudy day. It is that the dark circles that I had were very noticeable and besides. I still have an incredible headache. I walk into my office until I watch my secretary Mindy walk into my office. And don't worry, I didn't sleep with her if that's what they were thinking. Mindy is a married woman, if she is beautiful, she has green eyes that captivate you and a beautiful brown hair. But what most captivates everyone is his body, which despite being fifty years old, is well maintained.

-Excuse me Sir, but Miss Harper has been waiting for you for two hours with all the documents ready for days-shit I had forgotten.

-Yes, it's true, I completely forgot. Tell him to come in 10 minutes, while I arrange all these papers. Mindy is leaving and then I want to die, I had forgotten all the work I sent Emma a week ago. If it's new and it shouldn't be so hard, it's just that I'm too attracted to it. Her eyes, her beautiful hair, and her lips. For which I would kill to kiss them.

Once the mess of papers on my desk was arranged, I called Mindy to tell her to bring Emma in. She has been working in my company very recently but she won the affection of everyone and also the hatred of some women. I don't know why, but they are like that. I push my thoughts away when I hear a soft knock on my door.

"Come in Miss Harper," he said, "I'm sorry I made you wait so long Miss Harper.

-Don't worry, it gave me more time to analyze better and correct some mistakes-I noticed that she was a bit nervous, so I tried to cheer her up by giving her confidence. "I don't think you're capable of making a mistake, Miss Harper," she didn't look at me at any time, she was concentrating on the documents she had in her hand.

-If that's all Mr. Johnson, I'm retiring-I knew that from what I did to him it's logical that he doesn't even want to see me in the face. "Don't wait," I order him when I see that he is going to the door like an angry one, "I want you to take care of this document, it is very important so I would like you to read it," she gave me a slight smile and I accept. I know he sent her a lot of work but it is the only way to see her.

-I'll have it ready for tomorrow, Mr. Johnson. -Miss Harper, please tell me Ares.-Once I said that I let him leave my office. I know she hates me since that time I cornered her against the wall of the ladies' room wanting to kiss her. I was an idiot, but I'm grateful you didn't sue me. It's just that I couldn't contain myself, everything about her attracts me and drives me crazy, maybe if I had behaved differently, we would be together. But who knows ... maybe one day we will be. At that moment Katherine enters, I am surprised since I did not expect to see her again since her sector is on the second floor. "Is something wrong?" He asked, noticing that he had no papers or something with him.

-No, I just wanted to come see you. You seem to be very tired darling, although if you let me I can make you relax for a moment-as he says that he approaches me maliciously. He climbs on top of me positioning his legs on the side of my hips, starts kissing me in a way that turns me on in a matter of seconds.

Emma

After finally leaving the company I go home excited but first I make a stop to buy food and lunch with Alanna and we catch up. And I also buy more diapers better than missing, my mother said. I once had to ask a neighbor to please buy me diapers for Mia since she didn't have any. Now he always bought no matter how much he has a full bag at home. Once I park in the garage she rushed me inside, I miss Mia so much when I'm not with her. I work so hard for her every day, I want her to have the best in the world. When I am about to open the door I hear some laughter coming from inside but these seem to be of a man which surprises me since Alanna would not be able to bring men without consulting me first. Once I open the door, I find Mía in the arms of Alanna and a man I had never seen before, they chatted animatedly and he made faces that made Mía laugh like crazy. It would have seemed like a beautiful scene but not to me, I didn't know who the person was with my daughter.

-Well, what happens here?-I asked annoyed from the door with the bags in hand.

-Oh ... Emma, ​​you're back- Alanna was really embarrassed- Come with me to the kitchen for a moment, please-I nodded and followed her there. -I hear you-I was very upset, I did not trust anyone. -I'm sorry Emmy should have told you, I know but he came suddenly, and ...- She was silent for a few minutes which began to bother me.

-And what about Alanna? - I asked him when he didn't answer me- don't tell me that you're dating him and you already brought him to my house so that I can meet him and without my permission- let me go annoyed.

-No Emmy, relax, he's not my boyfriend, he's just an old friend from the University and since I couldn't go out, I invited him but right now I tell him to go

-I felt sorry for him, I think I was very hard on her.

-Sorry Alanna is that I had a very difficult day at the company, if you want you can go out with that boy but first introduce me.- Alanna smiled very happy for my request. We returned to the living room and there he was with Mia, who would not stop smiling. -Liam I want to introduce you to Emma, ​​my sister. -He didn't listen to her as she kept making weird faces for Mia.

- Ehh ... Liam I need you here on planet earth. "What do you say?" He asked at last, he turned to see us and his face erased the smile he had a few seconds ago.

-I told you that Emma is my sister- Alanna and I laughed when we saw how he got nervous. "Nice Emma, ​​my name is Liam, I was Alanna's classmate during the Law degree." That amazed me a lot since he seemed like a boy from another type of career since he looked relaxed and carefree.

-It's a pleasure Liam, I see that Mia likes you and that is difficult since she cries when someone unknown holds her- he laughs still nervous. He didn't seem like a boy with intentions of doing something bad towards us. After introducing ourselves, we ordered some pizzas and we talked a lot so that he could get to know Liam better, he was the son of an important family but he didn't care about their fortune. And so we talked until I saw the time, it was already after eleven. Mia slept in her crib and Alanna left along with Liam. I took a short shower and got into bed, barely resting my head on the pillow I fell into a deep sleep. Tomorrow will be a good day or at least I hope so.

Ares

After having stayed all night in the office catching up on all the papers, I decide to go home. Katherine, plus all the office work left me exhausted. Once I arrive, I undress and go to bed and welcome her to sleep, I want to dream about her. With her full lips, with that look that kills me and her body. It drives me totally crazy. The desire to have her here to make love to her and to cry out my name between moans is the only thing I want. God if he hadn't been such an idiot. I would have her like that, too bad she has her daughter, be careful not that I don't like babies, only that I don't see myself capable of taking care of someone else's. I will take care of a son who is mine. After I kept thinking and thinking, sleep overcame me and I fell asleep right away. *The alarm sounds* No, not again. In the distance he heard the alarm clock ringing and I curse him inside but I try not to waste time in bed and get ready quickly. I take a shower, put on my suit and go down to breakfast. I'm used to having breakfast alone since I left my parents' house sometimes if I miss them but I remember when they argued in the morning ruining a peaceful breakfast. My mother always pressured me that I had to get a wife, get married and give her grandchildren, obviously not my biological mother, but my father's new wife, they were married a year after my mother left with her lover. My father wanted the opposite, he wanted me to focus solely on the company. That's why I left, I couldn't stand so much pressure anymore. After breakfast I go out and head to my convertible. I put the radio on until I get to the office once I enter I see that everyone is watching me strangers and it is obvious, I never arrive on time and above all I never enter with a smile but I feel that today is going to be a good day.

Emma

I wake up suddenly when I hear the alarm clock ringing non-stop, I turn it off quickly so as not to wake Mia but it is too late and she was awake in her crib and laughing. Which I miss since she always gets up in a bad mood, I go to see her and there she was with a smile and her tongue out and I am filled with love to see her so tender. The desire to report that I felt bad to stay with her was not lacking. But I had already done it about six times, they were not going to believe me. My cell phone vibrates from the nightstand indicating that a message has arrived. Alanna: Good morning Emmy, I'm going to be about 5 minutes late I hope you don't get mad. I love you. I laughed at his concern. Emma: All right, nothing happens. Total I don't think that idiot Ares gets mad because I'm 5 minutes late. I love you too. Oh and look who's in a good mood this morning. *Photo* Alanna: But what a beauty I have as a niece, although I find it strange that she is in a good mood. Since she always gets up like you, angry hahaha. Besoooss. After reading that I see the time. It was 7 o'clock so I had time to feed Mia and get ready. I didn't dress very formal today I just opted for a dark blue jean and a white long-sleeved blouse, and my leather jacket. I take my bag, to Mia and I pour myself coffee waiting for the toasts to be there. I look at the time again, 7.30am and Alanna still hadn't arrived, the toaster rings indicating that my food is ready. Breakfast together with Mia, who was entertaining watching the music video that was on television, I turned the volume up a little more and she started laughing. He will kill me with love this day.

The buzzer sounds indicating that it is All.

-Emmy I'm so sorry but there is a terrible traffic but to remedy my delay I brought food.- She looked a bit tired but I didn't ask her. -Okay, I'm leaving because I'm late. Leave that video to Mia, you can see that she likes it.- I hug her and go out to my car. Alanna was right, the highways were full of cars. Then my cell phone starts ringing until I see on its screen that it is about Ares. I am forced to respond. "Miss Harper, aren't you planning to report to work?" It's 8 o'clock and you haven't arrived yet — you sounded really upset.

-I'm sorry sir, there is terrible traffic but I'm close-it was actually about ten blocks away but I wasn't going to tell you.

-Well Miss Harper, you have time until 8.15, if you arrive after that time. I will deduct it from your salary. Bye-damn idiot. He hung up and I froze. That man didn't have a heart, honk the horn. I see time 8.10 I was not going to arrive and if I deducted my salary I could not arrive to pay the rent. I see that they begin to move so I do not hesitate for a second and I flatten the accelerator I do not care that the other drivers are bothered. My salary depended on a thread. I get out of my car quickly, I practically run in and decide to take a look at my watch. It was past 8.15 and the urge to cry took hold of me. Once I'm arriving I see Ares at the entrance. Fucking shit.

Ares

I did not want to act like that with her but I had been warned that no employee could arrive at the time they want. Not me, being the boss. I call out to her so that we can talk without anyone listening.

-Miss Harper, I see you are not taking your job seriously-I said a little loud so that the other employees are clear who's boss.

-I'm sorry sir, please do not discount my salary, I need the money-and it was true, Emma for having been here for a short time her salary was not the highest, many times I tried to increase it but they told me no.

-I don't know Miss Harper, I've been seeing how you were going this month and you reported sick six times and now you're late. It does not seem fair to his other colleagues who always comply and arrive on time-I point out to the others who were watching the situation attentively.

-Please Mr. Johnson, you can not do this-she continued standing there looking at me annoyed and said something that I did not expect and said it quite loud-apart from you are the least indicated to talk about punctuality since it comes when the damn He wins and on top of that, you have to listen to how he has sex with the woman from the second floor. I couldn't help but hold her arm angrily, trying not to hurt her.

-Miss Harper go to my office immediately-he kept looking at me-GO!! I left her behind while I waited at my office door. I wasn't going to let him talk to me like that.

Emma

Once inside his office, he slams the door, making me jump.

-Take a seat Miss Harper please-shit her thought inside. I obey without objecting to anything.

-Mr. Johnson I'm very sorry, please I don't want to lose my place.- I tried to sound as sincere as possible although for him it seems that it did not sound sincere since he looked at me badly- send me more work if it seems to you but ...- no I was able to continue as I gave a scream that will have been heard up to the street.

-Silence!! I don't want to listen to her, she makes me look like an idiot in front of everyone. Shame on your behavior, Miss Harper. You cannot claim me for being late or not. I am their Boss !! I was stunned, I couldn't speak I felt a lump in my throat. It was the first time I had seen him this angry. He always showed himself with a smile, no one had ever seen him angry. Until now.

-I'm really sorry sir-this time the tears won and began to come out, the only thing that went through my head was Mine-It won't happen again, I promise.

-No Miss Harper, this I will not let you pass-I looked at him confused even with tears in my eyes. "Excuse me sir, I don't understand." That made him smile which I found strange. -I want to tell you Miss Harper that you will have to work more hours and by my side-it can't be, me and my big mouth.

Alanna

As soon as I get off work I go straight to visit Mom and Dad, it has been about two weeks since I went to see them and I felt bad. Once I arrive, Mom receives me with a hug that lasts for about twenty minutes. Dad was at the table reading the newspaper like every day. -How have you been honey? We miss you so much these days-Mom sometimes thought that because she wasn't coming I had already forgotten about her, if a bit exaggerated I lose. -I was busy mom, work drives me crazy-I didn't want to tell her that I was taking care of Mia. "Do you know anything about Emma?" Dad's question left me frozen, he never asked about her or her granddaughter.

-Ehhm ... if they're fine-I lied, that is, if my sister was fine but she needed help sometimes, she needed them. But my parents don't want to talk to her. After that awkward mini moment we sat down to breakfast and chat. I still wasn't used to having breakfast without Emma next to me, I miss seeing the four of us together. If they hadn't been so cruel to her, they would be enjoying Mia and seeing how beautiful she is. I still remember when they decided to kick Emma out, at that time Mia was one month old.

Flashback

-I still don't understand how you could be so irresponsible Emma!! You can barely support yourself and you bring a baby into the world-dad wouldn't stop yelling at him, I was in my room since I had opposed his decision and that's why my father hit me. Emma kept facing him.

-I already told you dad that I have a stable job and I'm going to be able to take over without Adam's idiot-but that was not enough for our father.

-No, you can't !! I honestly did not expect this from you Emma. I didn't expect to have a daughter who was other than irresponsible, bitch !! When dad said that my breath hitched but it got even shorter when I heard he slapped him. Mom didn't say anything, she just cried in her room.

-You are leaving my house right now Emma and you take that baby product of your whore !!. Emma cried while putting her things away. I was trying to reassure Mia, the poor thing could not stop crying and neither could I to tell the truth, my little sister was leaving.

End of flashback

Emma

-I don't understand Mr. Johnson, how will I work by your side? - All I needed was to have to see your face for more hours and throughout the day. "Does Miss Harper speak Greek?" He must have thought well before he opened his mouth wide-damn unhappy. The anger he felt at that moment was very high, his face felt hot, if it wasn't so good.

-As of Monday, it will enter at eight o'clock and leave only at four in the afternoon. However, you will have to be at my disposal during those hours. Is that clear to you, Miss Harper? -No, you can't make me leave so late. I have to go back to my daughter, I don't have anyone to take care of her. Sir please- Alanna was not going to be able to take care of Mia until that time. And he had no one else.

-That's not my problem, as I said before, I would have thought well before opening my damn mouth. Send her to a nursery - she would be an idiot but she was right.

-Ok Mister Johnson, but then I'll need a raise. If you don't want me to declare to everyone out there that you are sleeping with everyone on the second floor. Even with his boss's wife- that said, his face turned more serious, I think if we were alone he would be killing me.

-Okay, I'll give you your raise. Now please get out of my office - and if I didn't want to put up with it anymore. I left smiling even though I would have to see him for more hours but I got what I wanted. This one is not going to get away with it. And I will not allow him to treat me badly. After all, if I want to, I can sue you for sexual harassment during work hours.

After leaving Ares's office with a big smile, I go back to my position but before I call Alanna I need to arrange Mia's care with her. -Hi Emmy! What's up? - I don't know how he does to always be in such a good mood.

-All I have to tell you something important- I hope I can take care of Mia.

-You're good?! Do you need me to go to work? -No All calm down, the idiot Ares increased my hours and from Monday I go out at four in the afternoon and I need to know if you can take care of Mia until that time.

-Ehhm ... I see Emmy should speak at my work and consult with my boss.

-Yes, I hope you can, I don't want to send Mia to daycare.

-Emma the nurseries are not so bad, mom and dad have not sent there most of our lives hahaha- I laughed at her comment.

-Well I'll leave you there, I must continue. See you. After hanging up I am about to continue with my work. I don't want any more problems with this idiot. But someone leaves a pile of documents on my post, I can't see their face well but when I do I would have loved to be blind. It was nothing more and nothing less than Katherine.

-I'll leave this for Are ... I mean for Mr. Johnson. She has to review it and have it ready for tomorrow-I just nodded, I didn't feel like exchanging words with her-oh wait, are you the brat who yelled at Mr. Johnson in front of everyone? "Apparently the gossip reaches the second floor," I say practically without looking at her.

-Obviously yes, since no one had dared to raise his voice to the handsome Mr. Johnson- when he said so I felt my stomach turn.

-Well, someone had to put him in his place I think- I no longer wanted to continue listening to her -if you are so kind I ask you to withdraw, as you will see- I point with my hand to the pile of papers- I do have work to do.- but no he liked my answer at all.

-Look brat, I hope you stay away from Ares because he's mine. Don't try to seduce him because he will tear your eyes out He said that and left, he puzzled me I couldn't tell him anything.
