Chloe Knight is a caregiver to her seriously ill sister who was recently diagnosed with leukaemia, not too long after their parents deaths. She went looking for a job and got one working with billionaire Jai Marshall. Once he learns about Chloe's si...
Beep, beep, beep. I am woken by Jai's phone alarm going off. I cover my ears with my pillow. "Jai, turn it off. I want to sleep in a bit longer."
He ignores me.
If he doesn't shut the thing off, there will be consequences.
It goes off again.
That's it.
Using my feet and arms, I move Jai across the bed. When he's close to the edge, I give him one last push, and he falls out of bed. He hits the ground with a thud.
I hope Aleysa and Nate didn't hear that.
"What the f..." he looks at me from the floor. "Why did you do that, Chloe?"
Leaning over the bed, I laugh. "I asked you to turn the alarm off. You didn't. If you want to wake up every morning with that alarm, be my guest, but I will kick you out of bed until you turn it off."
The alarm beeps again.
He holds his hands up in surrender. "Alright, I'm turning it off. Geez, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." He turns the alarm off. "I need to get ready." He walks to the bathroom.
Pulling the blankets over me, I fall back to sleep.

Jai and I have appointments with our lawyers today to destroy The Proposal.
I'm glad the proposal can now be avoided in our lives.
Jai looks handsome in his suit at his Lawyer's office. He told me his parents dress up when they visit their Lawyers, and he's the same way.
I usually wear whatever I feel like to the Lawyers, but for some reason, I put on a dress and some makeup today. I tie the bandana on my head.
Jai whistles. "You look beautiful. How about we go out for lunch?"
Smiling at him, I say. "That's a great idea." I look at the door. "I have to take Aleysa with me. There's no one to look after her."
He shakes his head. "Mom and Dad are in town for a couple of hours today and want to spend time with Aleysa."
"Why didn't you tell me they were in town?"
He shrugs. "I didn't know you wanted to see them."
"Why are they here for a couple of hours?"
He takes my hand and we walk out of the room. "They are flying to Italy for the weekend. It's their 30th Anniversary. Mom and Dad have a twelve-hour stopover here before they go to Italy. I think they chose to do it this weekend to watch Nate's Football game." We walk into the kitchen to see Nate at the table.
He looks at us. "Where are you two going today?"
I move over to him and take a seat. "Jai and I are meeting some important people, and then going out to lunch."
