EMILY POINT OF VIEW.
When my Dad told me he would be employing another driver, because I sack the last driver two days ago I was so mad. Because I don't need a driver, I don't need to have a male driver, and if at all I want a driver, I prefer a female as my driver.
I also promise my father that if he employ another driver I would sack the driver, and also make him suffer. My family think I have suddenly become heartless, cold, uncaring and unapproachable, but they don't know what I've been through. They haven't lived my life yet. They were worried to know what happened to their once caring and understanding daughter.
Well they don't have to know what happened to me that make me like this, if I told them what happened, would they even believe me? Won't they think it's my fault it happened? It's almost laughable. They weren't there when I needed them most, they are always after their business and social status. When everything fell apart, they were too busy to see what was happening to me. Or maybe they just didn't care.
The truth is, I don't owe anyone an explanation. Especially not to people who are more concerned with maintaining appearances than with my well-being. They'd probably think I was exaggerating or, worse, that it was my fault. That's how it always goes, doesn't it? Blame the victim.
I shake off the thought. It's too early for this. Besides, I've got bigger problems to deal with like figuring out how to make this new driver quit. Because he's going to, one way or another. I can't let another man get close, not after what happened. I don't even need any man around my life now, either a driver, cook, or even in my office, I prefer employing a female, for reasons best know to me.
I quickly wipe the tears that threaten to drop from my eyes so quickly, I can't be vulnerable. I think I just need to rest. I check the time on my phone I was it was 5PM already, which means it time to close. I stood up already except the new driver to me here, to my utmost surprise he wasn't here yet.
Why the fuck, did he take long to come? I emphasis on 5PM, when he was about to leave, don't he know I cherish punctuality alot? I pulled my phone from my bag calling him, but he didn't respond, I send him serveral messages still no reply.
I began to fume, knowing this won't end well for him. By 5:10 PM, he wasn't still here yet . How dare he make me wait? I stood outside, my hands clenched into fists, feeling every eye on me. I don't like being kept waiting, and I certainly don't like being disrespected. This was just another reason why I don't trust men they're unreliable, careless, and they never take responsibility for their actions.
Finally, Adrian showed up, looking disheveled and breathless, like he'd just rolled out of bed. The sight of him add to my anger. He rushed out of the car, looking flustered and guilty. Good. He should feel guilty. But guilt isn't enough. I needed to make it clear that this kind of behavior is unacceptable.
"I'm so sor... " he started to apologize, but I cut him off with a hard slap to his face. Immediately my hand landed on his face he head swayed to the left, I saw he lone tear drop from his eyes, but he wipe that off immediately.
By the time he raise his head to look at me, his face and eyes were already blood shot red, which made me happy, because he deserve that.
"Didn't I made it clear enough that I hate to be left waiting, and I cherish punctuality more than anything?" I yelled angrily. "This job is not a joke! Do you even understand what punctuality means? Or do you just not care?"
I watched him struggle to maintain his steeze and composure, his clenched his jaw tightly as if trying to suppress his emotions.
"Now get me the fuck out of here." I yelled still angry at him. He nods, avoiding eye contact, and moves to open the car door for me. I slide into the backseat still feeling frustrated at what happen just minutes ago.
How dare he make me wait and then show up looking like a mess? This is just the beginning. If he thinks this slap was bad, he has no idea what's coming. I'll make sure he understands that he doesn't deserve this job or the right to be around me. I don't need anyone, especially not someone as pathetic as him.
The drive home was silent as a graveyard, none of say anything to each other, is not like there is anything to be said about. The only sound was the faint hum of the car engine.
After like an hour later we got home. Immediately I got home, I came out of the car without waiting for Adrian to open my side of the door. To my utmost surprise as soon as I open the door, I was greeted by my father, mother, Ashley and Elena. They were all sitted in the living room.
At that moment I could tell they had been waiting for me. I felt more annoyed that I was already. What now? Did they have another lecture prepared for me?
"Emily, we need to talk," my father said, his voice serious but gentle. He gestured for me to sit down, but I stayed standing, crossing my arms defensively.
I was about to ignore them and walk into my room, when I heard Ashley gasp and screamed. I stay rooted on they spot, and began to panic.
Yes, even though I don't really like my parent, I love my siblings so much. "What happen Ashley?" I asked worriedly, but she ignored me standing up and walking to Adrian direction. I have even forgotten that he followed me inside.
"Oh my God! Adrian, what happen to your face? Why did he look red and bruised?" Ashley asked, looking worried. I don't get why she's worried about him, he doesn't deserve that from her.
Adrian looked at me, but I glared at him. He kept his head down in shame. "Is nothing ma'am" Adrian replied.
"Common, Adrian, tell us what happened to you?" My father chipped in urging him to talk.
He finally race his head up. "I was hitted by Emily." He replied. Right now all my family eyes were on me glaring hard at me, including Elena, my youngest sister.

SIXTEEN
EMILY POINT OF VIEWThe slam of my bedroom door barely seemed to calm me. Every time I saw Adrian, I have this strange feelings. Adrian had just… vanished, no warning, no explanation. When I needed him most, he wasn’t there. The nerve of that guy! I took a deep breath and called Ashley, hoping she could help take my mind off things. “Ashley, are you around?” I asked, knowing she was usually in her room after lunch."Yep," she called from the hallway, poking her head into my room. "So, you finally met up with your runaway driver?” she teased with a grin.I groaned." He thinks he can just do whatever he wants. I was stuck waiting for over an hour!"Ashley shrugged. "Maybe he just doesn’t like being bossed around," she teased, laughing."Oh, please," I rolled my eyes. "He’s just a driver. But he acts like he’s above it all." IBefore I could say anything else, Mom knocked on the door. She peeked in, giving us both a soft smile."Hey, girls," she said, stepping in. "I wanted to remind y
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
ADRIAN POINT OF VIEWI had barely left my father’s house when everything he had told me began to replay in my mind. He wasn’t playing around when he said it was time for me to take over, whether I liked it or not. And deep down, I know it won't be an easy task for me. The drive back to the Ashton mansion felt longer than usual. My mind wouldn’t stop thinking about what he said.When I got there, the sight of the house didn’t calm me down like it used to. I knew I had to face them again Emily, her family, and the job I’d been using to avoid my real responsibilities. Even though at I hate coming here at all.As I stepped out of the car, Ashley spotted me right away."Adrian! Where’d you go this morning?" she asked."Just had to take care of some family stuff," I said, trying my possible best not to snap at her. She looked like she had more questions but didn’t push it. "Well, you missed a lot. Emily’s is angry seriously, she has been yelling at everyone, and I’m pretty sure it’s about
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
ADRIAN POINT OF VIEW"I will be there, father." I said, softly."You have to start coming now, we don't have much time left." My father yelled. "Okay." I said before ending the call. I took in a deep breath trying to calm my nerves. My father called me so early that he needed me to come home, that something needed my serious attention.I was nervous a bit, because I didn't know how to ask Mr Ashton for an excuse. I ran my hand through my hair, trying to collect my thoughts. My father rarely called me unless it was something urgent. The last time I got a call like this, everything in my life changed. I didn’t want to imagine what it could be this time.I leaned back against the wall, staring at my phone, hoping that maybe, just maybe, my father was exaggerating. But knowing him, that was highly unlikely.I looked out the window of the Ashton Estate. The house was still quiet, which made this situation even more tense. I couldn’t just disappear without notice.How do I even explain thi
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
ADRIAN'S POINT OF VIEWI headed into Emily's room with determination, not caring what she was going to say. I had a feeling she would act up, but maybe she would come around later.I hesitated a bit when I got to her door, but I knocked anyway."Who is it?" she asked softly."Adrian," I replied.There was silence for a bit, but she responded, "Come in." And so I did.I can't lie, her room was beautiful. It was painted pink and white, with some big pink teddy bears. She's a girly girl, I'm sure of that, but she just seems to put up a strong front. On the inside, she looks like a very fragile person."Did you come here to gawk at my room or what?" she asked, throwing me a hot glare.I quickly composed myself and stared at her. She was sitting at a small table and chair in the corner of her room."I'm sorry, ma'am. I have something important to discuss with you," I replied.She turned to me, looking me up and down. "I hope whatever you have to say is worth my time."I smiled softly, scra
CHAPTER TWELVE
ADRIAN POINT OF VIEWAfter we arrived at the destination I dropped the ladies off, I finally allowed myself to breathe. Being around Sandra was very disturbing. She knew she couldn’t mess with me easily now, and that gave me some comfort.Later that evening, I returned to the Ashton mansion. I had barely entered inside the mansion when Ashley came towards me, she smiled at me happily, like she had been waiting for me."Adrian! You’re back," she said cheerfully, stepping closer as if she had every right to invade my personal space."Yeah, I took Miss Emily and Sandra out, I'm back now," I replied. I know I have to keep my distance from Ashley, because I know she's clearly interested in me."Well, I was hoping you could help me with something," she said, twirling a strand of her hair, giving me a look that felt too strange. She had been pulling this move for days now asking me for help with little errands that she could easily manage on her own."Help you with what, exactly?" I asked, t
CHAPTER ELEVEN
ADRIAN POINT OF VIEWI began pacing around the room, thinking of what to say, in other to make Sandra come here without saying no. After some minutes I dialed Sandra’s number,She picked up on the second ring, almost as if she had been waiting for my call."Adrian, what do you want?" she asked, her voice sounding cooler than normal."I need to talk to you. I’ve got something you’ll like. Something important." I said, lowly checking around to make sure no one was there. Sandra was silent at the other end of the phone, and I could almost picture her glaring at me, trying to figure out what I was actually up to."And what could the great Adrian possibly have that I’d be interested in ?" she finally asked, after some minutes of silence. "It’s about the Ashtons. I know you want to bring them down, right? You’ve been looking for some documents that could ruin them, but you’re missing something, something you could actually use to your advantage to get what you want." I said, casually. She
