Cora’s POV
Like how Tally said on the other line last time, I am here now in front of her signing the contract. Everything written in the contract makes sense and is acceptable, plus the pay is huge more than I imagine.
“So, now that you already sign the contract you have no right to back down. When do you want to start coming to his house?” She asks me while sipping her milk tea, “As I said, he’s not there for now so you will just clean the house and leave.”
“When will he come back so I know when I have to cook for him, I also wanted to know what foods should I be ready for him.”
She looks at her phone and gives it to me, “here, I will forward this list to you. Every week, his nutritionist will give us a list for my cousin. Oh, but don’t worry, he’s not sick or anything it’s just that the case.” She smiles awkwardly.
“Is that so, then should I start today?” I said, if he left for too long, his house is now dirty.
“Are you sure? Well, you can start now so I will give you this card.” She slides the black card on the table, “that is the access to his house, only you and he have that.” I took it and put it inside my bag while she checks all the paper one more time and extend her hand. “Welcome as my cousin’s housekeeper, Cora!”
She genuinely smiles at me, I accept her hand, “Thank you for trusting me.” I chuckle.
“By the way, I want to have time with Clyde. Can I visit him at school and also go home with him, what do you think?” She said, acting like she really missed my son even though I know she just wants to help me and not worry about him.
“Sure, why not? This is my first time so it might take a long to clean the house until evening, so it’s better if I know that he’s with you.” But all I can do is accept her help, after all, I don’t have anyone to leave my son with them.
“Yay! Can’t wait to see his reaction, let me drop you at his house location then.” She finally stood up and pull me toward where her car, just knowing that I will be alone in another house is giving me anxiety especially since it was an Alpha.
Tally just keeps talking, but I can’t bring myself to laugh and talk like her. What if I break something or something went missing, will her cousin point his finger and blame me again for being an omega?
“Cora!” Tally yells at me, “I’ve been calling you, we’re already here! What are you thinking so deeply?” Tally look at me with her eyebrows almost tangled.
“It’s nothing, I’m sorry.” I said and immediately look outside; my eyes almost fell out as I see how big the house that I need to clean was. “w-wait, are you sure this is the right location?”
She chuckles, “yes, this is the right location, Cora.”
“How can I clean this house in one day?!” I exclaim, “this is not right, Tally! I thought it was just condo because he’s alone.”
“But I didn’t mention condo, Cora,” She smirks, “now, go out and start your day. I’m excited to see your little brat~”
She jokingly pushes me and closes the door, “w-wait, Tally, can you go with me inside, please?” I ask but she just shook her head.
“Sorry, Cora, but you need to do it alone.” She said and wave her hand, she’s teasing me!
I sighed, what can I do now but go inside alone like what she said, I don’t have to be nervous. If Alpha is not here, everything will be fine as long I will do my job.
I slide the card in front of the door and like how I see the house, it’s huger inside. I can’t help but gulp my saliva, too wide for one person to clean. Just by looking, I feel every strength I have suddenly gone away.
~
I let myself lay down on the cold floor while wiping the sweat dripping down from my forehead, I look at the whole room. Just how long since he left to be this house got dusty? Just looking at every detail, no one will think that someone is living here.
How lonely.
I look at the clock, it’s already eight in the evening. Clyde must be worried about me, I had never been away from him for too long.
I stand up straight and clean up all the cleaning tools I used today, maybe I will just go back here tomorrow.
I walked toward to kitchen and drink some water, I was about to remove my cleaning clothes when suddenly someone hug me on the back.
“Nice scent,” he whispers to my ears, his Alpha’s pheromones immediately filled the room.
No…
What is this?
“Let me go!” I said and try to push him, but my body trembling in fear as the only thing I can see is his eyes shining from my moonlight.
“Why, I thought you are here to seduce me.” He again whispers to me, “if you really do not want to do it, then why are you seducing me with your scent?”
No, it’s not true.
I’m not seducing anyone, “please stop, please don’t.” everything is becoming blurry, and my body becoming hot. I don’t like this feeling, like how I felt that night with Clyde’s father.
“Then, if you really don’t want anything I do, push me one more.” He said and kiss my trembling lips.
His hot tongue slid inside, “push me,” he said between the kisses he gave.
But I don’t know what happened, instead of pushing him I cling my arms to his nape and kiss him back.
“Very good.” He again said and lift me.
Cora’s POVThe bed is still full of dust, but he does not care about it. His breath smells of booze, but it also does not matter to me. Just his scent is intoxicating, making my mind dazed.His hand caressed the inside of my shirt, from my belly up to my back yanking my bra without difficulty, “don’t be too tense, I’m not going to eat you for eat.” He chuckles sexily, he kisses the tip of my nips under my shirt making it wet.“N-no, don’t do that. Ah!” I can’t help but moan as he bites it gently, “s-stop, it’s hurt.” I added, between the embarrassing sound I’m making.“Are you sure it’s hurt you? Your nips perks like this as if begging for more, do you want me to stop?” He asks while kissing and licking it and suddenly stops for seconds and does it again, he’s teasing my body as if he understands it very well.“T-that’s not true, it’s really hurt when you bite me.” I put my hands to cover my face, I can feel how hot is it. I don’t know him, but here I am letting myself indulge in his
Cora’s POV“What happened to you?” Tally covers her lips as she sees me standing in front of my apartment door, “why did you let yourself soak in the rain?” She pulls me inside without worrying if the floor is wet.“I didn’t know that it will rain, I haven’t brought an umbrella, and it’s sudden pour when I’m already at the bus station.” My body is still trembling, from the nervousness and fear. What if Tally can smell his scent to me?Is it enough to hide what happened if I let my body wash in the rain?She stares at me, “then why did you run here instead of the convenience store to buy at least a disposable umbrella? Don’t use Clyde for your reason because, from the very start, you knew that I’m with him.”I sigh, “I know that you’re with him, though, this is the first time for him that I came home late. By the way, where he is?” I took the chance to change the subject, if she will keep asking me there is a high chance that I will tell her everything.“He’s already asleep, I said tha
Cora’s POVAs I woke up, I first called Tally to discuss the job, and she agreed to meet up. However, why this man is in front of me?!I look at the surrounding, we’re here in the park in front of Clyde’s school. I don’t have any idea how he gets here or maybe Tally did help him, but that is not the issue here. The last person I don’t want to see here today is him!“Did I leave you speechless? I heard about Tally that you wanted to quit as my housekeeper, but do you really think is that easy after you signed this contract?” He shows me some pictures of that day, so he’s the one she’s chatting that time.I gulp my saliva, and I look at him in the eyes with confidence, “so what do I have to do? What happened last night is a big mistake, not only on my side but yours too.” I said without hesitation, I don’t want to create a scene outside. Especially here in front of Clyde’s school.“A big mistake, really? Do you think I’m that drunk to call it my mistake?” He put both hands on his waist
Cora’s POVThree days, it’s been three days since we met that day and he asked me about the job and if I really wanted to back out. But everything he said that day is on point, so that’s why here I am putting all the dishes in Tupperware for him to reheat once he comes back.As they said, our paths did not meet even once for three days. This is good than I expected to be honest, maybe he’s not that bad… But still, knowing that he’s an Alpha; I can’t help to put a wide line between us.It is still questionable that I have a friend like Tally, so I should stop myself and put more tangles between my life and him from the start.Alphas only bring the problem to my life, my father, my ex-boyfriend, and even my boss and strangers. I’m so tired to the point that I hate every one of them without reason… I’m afraid of the consequences if I let another one in my life.But my son is an exception, of course.Done!” I exclaim as I look at all the food in the fridge, I can help but feel proud whene
Cora’s POV“Mom!” Clyde run toward me with a wide smile, “are you done with your work?” He asks as he hugs and kisses me, some of the children giggles at what he did.“Clyde and his mom are always so cute, why not kiss me like that too?” One of the mothers said to her son make his cheeks get red.“Mom! Don’t tease me, I’m too shy to do that in front of them!” He points to us and his other classmates and runs to their car, instead of chasing her son, she just chuckles and looks at me, and bows her head. “Bye, Clyde!” She said and waved her hand to us.I never expected that one of them, from a rich family, will smile like that to us and treat Clyde the same as other children. It’s very rare and uncommon, but maybe they are just born to be kind.“That’s aunt Bea, she said that I can call her that way when we’re talking to each other,” Clyde said as if he can hear all the things in my mind.“She’s nice and beautiful, right?” I reply, I can help but feel envious as a man open the door for
Cora’s POV“Are you okay, kid?” He walks toward Clyde and extends his hand to help him stand up, my son hesitates to accept it. He looks at me and I nod to approve it.“T-thank you,” he said with a low voice and immediately run and hug me, “I’m sorry mom, I didn’t mean to cause you a problem.” As he said those words, he cries like a baby. It’s been too long since the last time I heard him like this.“It’s all right, you don’t have to say sorry about the things you didn’t mean to happen. Let’s buy your cream pie and let’s go home, huh?” I said while patting his head.He just nods his head, I look at him and bow. “Thank you for helping us, you don’t have to say those words though,” I said and smile.He shrugs his shoulder, “but I can’t stand his words toward you, if only you are not friends with Tally and not my housekeeper then I won’t extend the things like that. He deserved it, after all, so don’t sweat about it.”I suddenly felt guilty, maybe he’s really nice like how Tally describe
Cora’s POV“Cora, what are you looking at?” Zafer asks me confusedly looking in the same direction where I am staring, “did you see someone you know?” He added.“N-no, it’s nothing.” I avert my eyes immediately and look at my son, why is he here now? I know I should not feel anything, but fears start to linger in my system. What if he knows about Clyde, then what will happen?“Mom, are you okay? Your hands are cold and trembling, see?” Clyde holds my hand and looks at me worriedly, “tell me, is there something hurt?”No, there is no way their path will cross. The world is too big, it is just a coincidence that I see him here… Yes, that’s it.“Cora!” shock, I look at Zafer who suddenly pulls me both in my arms to look at him, “what is wrong with you; your face is too pale, are you sick?” Like Clyde, he also looks so worried.I look at my son who is now about to cry, “o-oh, no… I’m not hurt, I’m sorry.” I hug him, “there is nothing to be worried about me, we can go home now.”I was abou
Cora’s POVThe firefighters got in time, but the fire is too big for them to kill it immediately. Even how hard I pray, half of our apartment got burned. I want to check if there is something, I can get but they say that it is still dangerous for me to come inside.Zafer did not leave by our side until now, the heat of the sun and the bad smell of the surrounding made me ashamed. This place is not for him, but still, I’m so thankful that I have someone who looks for Clyde.“Cora, please sit down for now. I’m getting dizzy watching you, like what the fireman said earlier, there is no way for you to check your apartment.” Zafer said while holding Clyde’s hand who still look sleepy and does not understand what happens in his surroundings.“But everything is in there. I want to at least check if I can save some of our clothes and food.” I reply and look again at the building.That is not the only problem, now that it’s not safe to get inside where we are going to sleep now? I can still fe
