Chapter 3
Carla Simpson
POV
The next day I had a meeting with the director of a mall, the company is looking into buying it and renovate it, it is one of the malls that sells our merchandise us owning the mall helps increase our revenue and helps take out the middleman. I am taking control of the negotiations today.
My assistant Rose informed me that Mr. Jacobs will be joining us for the meeting. I do not know why but he does not need to be there I obviously do not need his help. I guess it is because he doesn't trust my negotiation skills.
I noticed the car stopping. I realized we had arrived at the mall I noticed a red four door Ferrari parked right in front of us. The driver jumps out and opens the back door right behind the driver’s side and damn it is the Greek God again he is wearing a red suit and a black shirt he ties his suits buttons and straightens his sunglasses he starts walking this way no he is not.
No, no, no. I am so not ready to face him yet. Damn he is in front of my car Carla calm down. I try to still my heart. But it was useless, I was defenseless against his charm. By the time I could come to my senses he has already opened my door and took my hand to help me out of the car.
"Miss Simpson, you look ready to negotiate" he says with the sexiest smirk on his face.
He offers me his hand to get out the car. I take it and get out.
Keep calm Carla you can do this. He does not let go of my hand until we enter the mall. He walks slightly behind me arm around my waist
"Thank you Mr. Jacobs I appreciate your presence during the meeting, May I ask why I have the pleasure of being your presence?" I try to make conversation
"Miss Simpson is being too polite, I'm here to make sure everything runs smoothly after all this deal makes me a whole of money" he says politely
Of course, his not here to see me, why the hell did I even think otherwise? Why do I feel disappointed? Why do I need to see him so badly? Why am I dreaming about him? What does he look like without that suit? Carla Mia Simpson calms the hell down... He is waiting for you to speak... calm voice.
"Well, I see, thank you for your help then Jacobs" My traitorous voice sounded more like a damn squeak than normal... Thank God he did not notice...
And I take my hand then he puts he is hand on my back damn I lose control of my body I feel numb all over my body I can barely stand on my own right now... My heart stops I can feel a chill throughout my body.
We walk into the crowded part of said mall there are a bunch of people taking pictures of us and I hear people saying we look like models and what and amazing couple, and then I hear someone screaming. Therefore, I hate being out in public I love my quiet peaceful little world I hate being the Centre of attention
"Oh, my word they are wearing matching outfits oh my word they so amazing the most good-looking couple I've seen"
"Aww they look so good together like they just stepped out of a magazine... They look like models"
"I'll buy whatever they are selling... I do not care what they are selling" I mentally laugh at comment
That is when I realize I am wearing a Black dress shiv that hugs all of my curves and pair of red sandal heels. We are matching. I am loving what these people are saying but it is still uncomfortable people taking pictures and talking about me like I am not here... Then I remember Kyler is here as well I hope I do not offend him. And then I hear that damn sexy voice again, but he is whispering in my ear, I feel his breath on my neck my whole-body trembles
"It seems like Miss Simpson is creating quite a stir here. I do not mind matching a beautiful lady like you" He whispers in my ear
He gave me a compliment an actual compliment... I died and went to heaven... Do not you dare wake me up... Let me live in dream land forever and ever...
We enter the elevator heading to the top floor...
"You don't look bad yourself, actually many people describe you as a Greek God I can see why" Shit... I mentally cringe... I did not want to say that... What happened to my filter???
"Does Miss Simpson feel the same way?" He whispers in my ear why does he always sound so sexy when he speaks? And I sound like a cat being strangled to death when I speak to him.
Okay I am starting to think his doing this on purpose, this trying to turn me on... And dammit its working, I can feel the heat radiating from between my legs...
"Yes, uhm No" Damn Carla really now? what happened to staying calm? I just blew it.
He chuckles, I can feel the vibrations throughout my body... It is crazy how my body so desperately wants him.
" Is it yes, or no?" He asks
I am completely flustered at this point to reply calmly. Its takes everything in me to give a calm reply...
"Well maybe" There's that darn squeak again
"I see. And here I am hoping you would say you find me attractive" he says in a sad tone, but I could hear he was most definitely amused...
And we head into the primary office to meet with the owner.
"Ladies first" He lets me walk in the door first... And I am like what the hell are we doing here?
Oh, right that is why we here. Dumbass I mentally roll my eyes
The negotiations went well. And I got show off my negotiating skills in front of him. I get the mall for half the price the owner was asking which is amazing but all I want to hear is he is proud of me wait what? Why him?
I look at him, but he is on his phone is this real. He was supposed to back me up, that is why is he here? What the hell is doing here if not to help me? Did come with me to play on he is phone I am really a second away from pounding he is head in with that darn stupid phone which seems more important than me, wait was I jealous of a freaking phone?
I had no right to we not together. We could never work; Kyler seems sweet he needs a girl who can be there for him I am way too broken to be with him... I am disappointed that he did not pay attention to me because I had worked so hard to impress him and he does not seem to care at all???
Remember Carla you are not good enough for him... You could never have a man like him... What happened to finding yourself? That is the promise you made yourself remember? Finding out who the Real Carla Simpson is, just took over a multimillion-dollar company, I do not have time for a relationship... I am not ready for one...
Chapter 4Kyler JacobsPOVBy the time I got home it was pretty late, I still had a video conference to attend in about 5 minutes, so I rushed to my study. By the time video conference was over it was 12amAfter the meeting I took a shower and went to bed.At 5 a.m. in the morning I get a phone call from my mom its way too early in the morning for her to find a wife for me. So, I put my phone on silent and go back to sleep. A half an hour later I feel someone staring at me I open my eyes my mom is staring at me oh it is just my mom staring at me, I close my eyes, wait what why is my mom in my house yet alone my room."Mom, why are you here at 5 in the morning?""I came to see my future daughter in law""Mom what daughter in law?"My mom hands me her phone and there's pictures of me and Carla it looks like we are kissing and hugging and there's a couple of us sitting at the coffee shop...

Chapter 5Carla SimpsonPOVThis day was a mess, I went from not knowing this guy straight into dating Kyler, then thrown into being his fiancée. I could not believe it I was getting married next month. The icing on the cake was someone finding a girl that looked exactly like me. how could I forget the worst of them all, oh I know I seem to have forgotten about the most embarrassing of them all Kyler’s mom caught us in he is office.His mother who was supposed to be at home resting since she was sick, yet there she was in his office. She knew what we had down because our clothes were thrown all over his office. Could this day be any more dramatic and any more movie like? It reminds me of those Indian series on Zee world, where everything that can go wrong goes wrong. I pray my life does not get anymore dramatic than it already is.After I am done getting dressed, I make my way for Aaron’s office door so I could go to work since I have not been to the office yet for the day. I stop dea
Chapter 6Carla SimpsonPOVWhen I woke up, I could smell, disinfectant and hear beeping sound when I opened my eyes Kyler was next to me holding my hand, he had fallen asleep. in a chair with his head on my hand. I am scared of waking him, so I try my best to lay still, he looked exhausted, he looked like he needed his sleep. A few minutes later my aunt walks in with Nikita and the door opening, which wakes Kyler, when he opens, his eyes dart to the door and then his eyes land on me. He literally jumps for joy and starts kissing me forehead and starts hugging me. It is amazing how safe I feel with him how amazing I feel knowing he is there with me. I look around confused. Why was I in the hospital? The last thing I remember is going to the hotel? Why was I in the hospital and why did my stomach hurt as though I have been punched the gut."What happened, why am I in the hospital?" I ask KylerEveryone is looking at me weird. Just then Kyler gets a phone call and excuses himself he is
Chapter 7Nikita JonesPOVHi, I'm Nikita Jones 20 years old, I was adopted as a baby and grew up with my amazing parents Joy and Seth Jones when I was five, they had my sister Ella Jones. When I turned 18, I searched for my birth parents I found out they died in a plane crash, and it’s said that the entire family died so I gave up.Today on my way to the mall. Someone hit me from behind. When I woke up, I was in a hotel room, and a guy called Jack Black told me I was kidnapped because they mistook me for someone else. The person is my birth sister, and they were meaning to hurt my sister by extorting money from his boss. He also informed me that his boss ordered him to save me and to bring me to the hotel. My twin sister and his boss were on their way."What’s her name? My sister" I ask him"Carla Simpson that's her name. They on their way they should be here soon"I’ve always assumed she was in the plane with him when it went down. That’s interesting that she wasn’t there she was on
Chapter 8Kyler JacobsPOVSo today was the first day of Nikita Jones being Carla and a CEO of a million-dollar company and the crazy woman is already creating chaos, it is like she is daring people to put a hit out on her. She is already starting fires I cannot put out.This little girl is even more daring than Carla is and that is saying a lot. She reminds me so much of my older brother Kenny his got that same live on the edge attitude as she does. They share the same fire. The problem with that in our world meant you would probably get killed for stepping on someone powerful toes. People kill for so much less. The reason Kenny never wanted to work in an office he did not like the politics of it and the other reason is running from my mom, he would much rather than be shot at then face our mother. Lana Jacobs is a lot to deal with and the fact that her husband enables her fuels her so much more.Back to Nikita Jones. I feared what she will do next. I do not even know what she will d
Chapter 9Kyler JacobsPOVI ran so fast out of the room I thought I might break my ankle.When I got into my study, I took a deep breath going over my options I could only think of one so I wasted no time and called the only person who could reign in Lana Jacobs.I quickly phoned my grandfather"Hello Son" My grandfather answered in the third ring."Hello pa, how are you feeling?” I ask him“I am good Kyler. How is work?” he asks me “Work is great I actually called because I have a favor to ask you" I was going straight to the point."Anything for my favorite grandson?" he asks knowing he said that to all three of us. But we let him think we never knew. He loved making each one of us thinking we were special, so we let him."Pa, I need you to help me your daughter its driving me crazy, she moved into my house and invited the whole family to live here" I explained"Ky she's your mother and I know Lana can be a bit dramatic, she gets that from your grandmother, but you know it comes f

You just talk about that good for nothing husband of yours" I mock an annoyed lookShe completely ignores my comment. "Big brother I need your help. Why did he come and see you?” she looks up at me."He came to ask for the family jet" I tell herShe looks at me puzzled. "But you don't own the family jet?""I told him to speak to you" I shrug my shoulders. I really did not want to get involved yet here I am. When she came home was it a year or two ago saying she wanted to marry this idiot I told her it was a bad idea, but she would not listen to me and went ahead with the wedding. In the two years they have been married not once have I seen my sister happy or smile."Okay. Thank you, Kyler. I will take my leave now." She makes a move to get up when I stop her"Kenzie actually there's something I need to talk to you about""Uhm okay what's up?" she sits again looking at me
