Chapter 1 overwhelming thoughts

With a sad expression on his face, my accountant told me, "I'm afraid that's the only solution."

He gave me the most shocking news of my life when we were seated in my office.

"Not at all. I yelled back, "I don't think that's the only option.

I was experiencing my worst nightmare. It seems that my father, the CEO of Harrington Industries, had been struggling financially for some time because of his gambling addiction. Although I've always known he gambles, I had no idea it was so severe that it would require the buyout of our entire business.

It would be an understatement to say that I'm embarrassed and furious. Naturally, even in his grave, my now-deceased father had to leave me to clean up his mess.

"I apologize, but this is the only approach," my accountant said, interrupting my flow of thought.

I squeezed the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes. "Who's the buyer?"

"Ashford Industries."

My eyes snapped open at once. "Over my dead fucking body."

My dad had worked so hard to build this company, and there was no way in heaven or earth that I would let our competitor buy it out.

If I let this agreement go through, all the evenings I spent at home by myself when I was younger, all the school functions dad skipped because of this blasted firm, and missing my high school and college graduations would have all been for fucking nothing.

My father and I have always been in the picture; my mother passed away after I was born.

He was not around when I spent my whole life growing this business. Even though I detest him for not being the parent I always needed and wanted, I had to make sure that I carried on my father's legacy-albeit one that was better-because I owed it to my younger self.

I'm afraid Miss Harrington, you're stuck with no other option. You will become Ashford Industries' new secretary after they buy you out. That's the best I could have done, I apologize. He said, "Your father dug a bottomless hole that even I can't get you out of," as he started arranging papers in front of me.

I slammed my fists on the desk and spat, "I would rather work at McFuckingDonalds before I work for that narcissistic bastard."

My accountant recoiled and straightened his round glasses. "The documents I placed in front of you state that you agree to Ashford Industries buying you out, and if you work with them for two years as their secretary, they will issue a loan for you to be able to build Harrington Industries back up again."

That drew my interest. "So if I work for him for two years, I'm one hundred percent guaranteed that loan?" I inquired slowly.

He gave a nod. "That's correct."

I've always struggled to swallow my pride because I'm such a self-assured and strong-willed person. However, I can tell when I've been beaten-like in this instance, for instance-when it happens.

My father's job can be completed and my company can be bought back if I work for Crap Industries for the next two years. I'm ready to endure it for the sake of my sanity, even though getting relegated to a secretary will probably be worse than breaking up. Should I turn this opportunity down and allow Harrington Industries to be acquired indefinitely, I would never be able to live with myself.

"Where do I sign?" With a defeated tone, I inquired.

With a smile, my accountant gestured to multiple lines on the paperwork that were in front of me.

"Ashford Industries expects you to report to work tomorrow at precisely 6 AM; an employee will be available to provide you with additional information. "Remain optimistic about this company; you will overcome this obstacle," he remarked softly while gathering the signed paperwork and packing it in his briefcase.

I escorted him out of my office with a tiny grin on my face and thanked him for his good remarks. I groaned and leaned my head against the door, wondering what in the world had just transpired. It still amazes me that I essentially gave up my life for the next two years.

My new world will start tomorrow, and I wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't feel nervous. This will be the biggest adjustment of my life, and I've always dreaded change. Nevertheless, I'm going to keep my half of the bargain and do whatever it takes to get my company back, even if it means giving the devil my life.

"I will work for you till I pay back the amount in full.. I want to be a maid.. Pleaseā€¦ I don't want to be a breeder" I started to plead once everyone left the ward.. He saw her begging but his stone cold heart didn't melt. "I never tasted a weak duckling Alpha.." He smirked and walked toward me.. I walked back with fear till I hit the wall. "I am not weak." I said in a low tone and tried to push him away.. But his solid body didn't move an inch.. I could not breathe properly because of his aura.. "I will make you beg me for pleasureā€¦" His words disgusted me. I didn't talk back as his Alpha tone was overbearing.. I felt weak wherever he was touching me.. "You will be my toy till you get pregnant.." I turned my head away with disgust but he touched my cheek roughly and caught my chin. He made me look into his eyes.. His hand covered my neck and gripped it hard.. "I will come to you every night to f**k you.." His eyes became devilish as if he was looking at his prey.. Suddenly I felt scared of him more.. and my breathing became suffocating.. He is pressing my windpipe to make me sufferā€¦ My eyes become red while I shake my head slowly... "Noā€¦ no.." I murmured and I forgot to breathe in his presence.. He was scaring hell out of me.. "Girl.. You will be lucky if you get pregnancy soon otherwise I will have my ways to f**k you.." I dropped my eyes not able to hear such f***y words.. Tears rolled down my cheeks when he loosened his grip.. I don't want to believe that my father sold me as a breeder.. I can't accept it.. "If you agree or not.. it doesn't matter.. spread your legs when I come to you.." He pushed me back again and the tip of his nose touched my cheek while I looked at him scarily.. He nibbled on the crook of my neck and kissed my sensitive placesā€¦ "Remember I am your Alpha from now on and don't you dare to say noā€¦" he said huskily and pushed me back fiercely.. His cruel and harsh words made me fall back on the ground..
