Chapter Four

Maybe, there was no way for me to appeal to him.

"I'm…I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone. And I have gotten you something to make up for it" he spoke very softly, not too calmly. He still sounded like my boss, but at least his tone was better than earlier.

"New glasses?" I gasped in excitement when he handed me the glasses.

"How did you ?" I wanted to ask him how he knew the kind of glasses I wear.

"I took a piece of the broken glass to the doctor. I got a similar one, I just couldn't find the exact color you were putting on" he pressed his lips.

"I love this one. I didn't like that color anyways" I had a big smile on my face, but then my smile disappeared suddenly.

"This is coming out from my pay isn't it!" I asked, and he laughed.

"No, it's just a gift, you can leave now" he shocked me, honestly that she was the nicest thing someone has done for me, except my parents and sister of course.

My phone began to ring, just before I could leave the office.

"Who is this?" I answered the strange number.

"I am nurse Stacy, and I am calling to inform you that your sister was rushed to the hospital." A tender and soothing voice broke the most horrifying news to me.

My palms began to sweat so much that my phone slipped from my hand.

"Are you okay!" My boss sprang up from his chair and placed his hands firmly on my shoulders, so I wouldn't fall to the ground.

"Is my sister going to be okay?" I asked the first nurse that came my way.

"You need to calm down," my boss whispered in my ear, as he forced a smile on his face.

"We got a report that a little girl was rushed here, where can we find her?" he asked, looking around.

"Are you her father?" The nurse asked him, looking at the both of us as if we were a couple.

"No, he is not. I'm her sister" I immediately stepped into the conversation, as I didn't want to get into any trouble with my boss.

"Okay, she is in the ER. Please come with me" the nurse gestured for us to follow her, and we did.

The moment I saw my sister, laying on the bed half dead, tears rushed down my eyes. I tried my best to wipe them away with the back of my hand.

"I'll wait outside" my boss suddenly left.

Zeke's POV

Poor thing. I wonder what must have happened to her, she looks so little and cute.

"Doctor, why did the little girl faint?" I asked the doctor, who was about to walk into the room.

"She has leukemia. She needs surgery immediately. If she passes the stage she is in. I am not sure she is going to survive" the doctor replied, and that was when I noticed that Layla had been standing behind him.

She looked so heartbroken, she didn't know what else to do as she ran away.

I ran after her, I don't know why, but it felt like the right thing to do.

"My sister is going to die '' Layla declared, as her words were accompanied by a thunderstorm.

"Layla, let's go inside the hospital first. It's going to rain, you'll get cold" I tried to usher her in, but she was too adamant.

"She is the only family I have. What will my world be without her? If she isn't going to live, then why should I remain alive?" She asked me, and sadly I couldn't give her an answer.

"I'll do anything to save her life" She began to cry, as she fell to the floor, sobbing.

I felt her pain, I could save her sister's life, but what would I get in return for it?

"Revenge" I heard my inner self say to me.

"You could use her as a pawn to get revenge on your wife. Use her to make your wife jealous, and she might even end up falling in love with you" a devious idea crossed my mind.

I tried to wave it off, but I couldn't get it off my mind.

"I'll pay for your sister's surgery" I blurted out, and she stood up to look at me.

"But you will have to do something for me as well," I smiled.

"Do I have to sleep with you?" She asked me in a whisper.

"Why would I pay so much money, just for sex? I can get it for free if I want. I want you to do something else for me" I voiced out, and this time she was more attentive.

"Be my girlfriend" I paused while talking.

"But, you are married," she answered.

I don't even want to know, how she got to know about my marriage.

"Yes, I want you to help me make my wife jealous. I want you to live in my house and pretend to be my girlfriend. Make it look like we are having a relationship. And in return, I'll help pay for your sister's surgery.

You'll do it for 6 months. After 6 months, you will no longer have to pretend. And we can act like nothing ever happened" I paused to look at her expression, but she was still indifferent.

"If you do it. I'll pay you a million dollars, along with your sister's surgery" I kept on going, what was wrong with me?.

" I…I" she paused as the heavy rain kept on pouring down on us.

"I will do it" she agreed, and a smile crawled on to my face.

"You made the right choice" I nodded my head slowly.

Layla's POV

"Come in my love" Mr…Zeke held me by the waist, and I swallowed hard in confusion.

"Remember, this is just an act," I told myself, as he drove his hand further down my ass.

"And what do we have here?" A beautiful lady, slowly cat walked towards us. Damn! Her figure was to die for.
