Introduction

" She isn't my type that I would say I want to get married to."
"Oh, no she could be your servant, not your spec besides she can clean and cook so well." my mother said.
Okay, I had known my mother didn't love me but giving me up for a debt u knew nothing about was out of the question.
It was like I was an object which could just be traded without the courage to say no.

Scott Carter is the only child and he inherits his father's property after his death. But his cold-blooded nature, causes everyone to be scared of him, hence making him like a monster. but Isabella will be the only one to change all of that. Isabella, the beautiful damsel who leaves from being a servant to the wife of the richest man in the city.

Chapter 1

"Good morning Sir, and welcome," everyone greater Scott in unison, but being the kind of man who did not like courtesy, his first reaction was to scale through the crowd of employees to find if everything was okay, and when he looked around, he found out that, one of the personnel was still seated down whereas the other was standing so with a loud tone, he called her out,

"You sitting down, stand up right now."

Listening to that, the lady got taken over by panic and when she stood up, Scott looked at her thoroughly as though he wanted to eat her up with his gaze. His dark brown eyes looked frightening while his countenance was nothing like that of a man who ever smiled at all, and listening to him call her out and asking why she was still seated, the employee trembled out of fear and not finding the right words to say, Scott pressed on his killer look on her which only made her sweat some more though the office was well ventilated and in her lack of response, Scott walked from where he was standing to where she was and with a powerful peek, his lips moved together at the same as they released the works,

"You are fired." Saying that he turned to his assistant and instructed him to call on the security officers to escort the lady out of the building if she delays moving her things and herself out of his company in the next few seconds which starts now. And after saying that, he turned to the rest of the staff to make one thing clear and make sure that he got their attention, he mumbled,

"And this should sink deep down into your ears, if anyone of you thinks that I am like my late dad, then that person should better start packing his or her things now because I am nothing like your previous boss. Under my reign you all have to be in alignment with my terms and conditions if not the door is wide open for anyone who wants to leave, is that clear?"

"Yes Boss," they all screamed out at the same time with shaky voices after what they had been through. Scott was glad to know that his empowerment was having a quick impact on his new employees and with a great feeling of fulfillment, he walked out of there with a broad smile on his face leaving his personnel in chaos with each one of them being scared for their lives.

Walking into his offices, his gaze immediately fell on his father's seat which was behind a large dark table with two chairs in front of it. On the table, were some files which had been deposited and the banner has a boldly written word on it "CEO" and that gave him a nostalgic feeling which took him back to the fight he had with his father some days back over his flirtatious attitude and the fact that he did not want to take responsibility for his actions.

Thinking back to it, his eyes had turned red with tears but being a man, he decided to act strong in order not break at least not in the office. Walking to the other side of the office, he looked pale from seeing all of his fathers' achievements In a frame and letting out a thin smile slip through his lips, Scott muttered alone,

"I wonder if I can become half the man that you were daddy." Those words were so touching to him, and in an attempt to connect back to the last moments that his father had spent in that office, he went through each item and article with his mind thinking back to each memory every one of them holds.

Lost in his thoughts, he was interrupted by a knock on the door which made him come back to himself as he used the back of his right hand to wipe off the tears that had accumulated in his eyes, and when he had achieved that, he turned his gaze to face who it was and there are was, a beautiful and sexy blonde lady with long hairs tied up in a bun and a gorgeous face sitting over a pair of beautifully articulated shoulders.

Her clean pair of legs was heavenly while she looked like she was just from an oven which had given her an extra finesse. Scott being a womanizer, could not help but notice her as she walked into his office with some files in her hands and directed herself to his table to drop them off.

"Good morning Mr. Carter and welcome into the company. It is a pleasure to have you here with us," the lady spoke out and from the sound of her voice, Scott gulped the saliva that had cropped up inside his throat making swallowing to be difficult.

"Thank you beautiful damsel in black," he said after regaining himself and screening her from head to toe.

"The pleasure is all mine. I am Evelyn Davison, the manager in Carter's company," Evelyn mumbled stretching her hand towards Scott with an angelic smile that he could not resist but to accept and want to do a formal introduction of himself, Evelyn hushed him and with a soft tone, she told him that she knew who he was.

The moment was pleasing to Scott but it had fo be spoiled when Melissa Koker his secretary made her way into his office with a slate of tea on it and a panting countenance probably due to what she had witnessed some moments ago. Catching sight of her, Evelyn quickly took back her hand so as not to seem cheap or mistaken for flirting with her new boss but Melissa had already seen it.

"I will take my leave now Mr. Carter, see you around," she said looking all uncomfortable and before Scott could say anything further, Evelyn had already walked out of the office looking all scared for her life.

"Good morning Sir Carter," she said with her hands placing the slate on the table and the mug of coffee but Carter, looking all angry with the interruption, he told her to take the coffee away and Melissa looking all confused, she looked at him in total confusion as she had no idea why he was in such a bad mood all of a sudden.
