A night... A child! (COMPLETED)

Prologue

[Liz’s POV] 

I went out of my father's custody when I turned 18. He let me. He was a wonderful man with a big heart. He looked after me and mom, and loved us with all his heart. My mother, a very sensible lady and striking was as good and as noble as my father. She gave me loved unconditionally and understands me when I don’t understand myself.

I was lucky to have found them and proud to be a family.

Adoptive parents are not all as good as them but thank God He gave me to them…

I set my life on the big city and started to work for a living. I’m still studying now for my dream while I work in a company as a secretary.

I want to be a lawyer, and that’s why I keep studying though my work pays more than my means of living.

 I love my job…

“Eliza, Is everything set?” I smile to myself before I turn to face him

“Yes, Sir” he was smiling even before he went out of his office

“Good. Then were out” he went past me and urge me to follow him to the door and through the elevator

Jeremy S. Kifler. Younger son of the owner of the company I’ am working with. I’m so grateful to be his secretary; he was a good looking man who treats every working soul in the company equal.

He was kind hearted and gentle. He possesses a smiling face and he dealt with business lightly but efficiently and seriously. Not like his older brother, he is the calmer one.

Jacob S. Kifler. A man who always wore millions in every way, he is the epitome – for me – of a devil. He was the total opposite of his younger brother and believed me. You don’t want to bump with him early in the morning while your thoughts are drifting to the great night you have the night before.

This man doesn’t know how to smile easily. I only saw him smile when he got the deal set with a multi- millionaire company. And of course when he takes every pleasure of firing and intimidating each and every one of his employee.

I was so glad that I was under his brother’s department or else, I should have smack the hell out of him now.

“You okay Liz?” Jem’s gentle voice take the frown out of my forehead that I don’t even think forming.

“Yes Sir” I said and smile to him

“Jem”

“Sorry?”

“Call me Jem. You’ve been my secretary for the last 6 months, a very efficient one I might say. So, let us not be formal when we’re not in office okay?” he said as he smile and reach for the door of his car and opened it for me

He was gentle. A living man of my dream. If only it’s not right, I’ll surely say I was falling for him. What could there be not to fall?

“Is it okay that way?” I hesitate only for a moment but then I started to walk towards the car

“Yes, of course” as he smile my reasons are out of my mind

“Okay then… Jem” I smile sheepishly at him

[Jacob’s POV]

“Congratulations Mr. Kifler, you really know the business world” I have to smile to that comment

“Of course, if I don’t know the rules, no one does” the man gave one last pat then went out of the door

I gather my things and started to walk when the last person I wanted to see came beside me. Almost automatically I gave him a cold stare as he smile and offer a hand

“Congarts Bro!” still staring at his hand I lifted a brow and looked at him

“It was an easy catch. I thought you would put on a good fight, you disappoint me little brother” I said coolly

Jeremy shoves his hand to his pocket and shrugged his shoulder and his head

“We are family Kuya, If I win the deal its success to us, what makes difference does it make if you’re the one who get the prize? Hanggang ngayon ba kuya, your thinking that this is a competion? Well, I’m not competing but it’s not important for you right? You always want to be the best” I struggle for temper not to smack my brother as he smile at me

“Well, congratulations again! Party is for you, dad throw it. You better come. See you”

Jeremy left the room and I stood still.

Being the first born, all the pressure is on me. But what’s making me angry about my brother is that, he can commit mistakes and no one would press charges to him. Accidents… That would be it. But if it was me, they’ll surely laugh and say things like, I’m not as dedicated to myself as I should be.

We are both directors, future heir. And even though dad is pointing his figure on me as the next in line. One move, one mistake and everything will be gone. I wasn’t used to be second best. My dad thought me to be at the top, if I wouldn’t be on top, he’ll never notice my potential and everything I have and rightfully mine will be taken away

That would never happen…

I won’t let that happen!
