Chapter 1.

Almost 2 months later!

Sofia's POV.

"Boh." Nicholas came out of nowhere. I swear he is crazier than anyone I ever met before. I literally hated him because he was arrogant but he has a good side too. He just reminds me so much about Benjamin who hasn't visited us once since we moved to Paris. I know Benjamin is heartbroken but so I'm I. We were never good for one another so it's not like it's going to be that difficult to move from each other. I still love Benjamin, I always have and always will but life should go on and if he can move on so can I.

The day I left Benjamin, I never signed the divorce papers because I knew once I signed those papers, we would be done. But after the videos and magazines I have seen with him and another women, I knew he had move on. So I signed them and now I'm single not that anyone cares.

"Nick when will you grow up? This isn't your house so stop breaking in." I shouted annoyed but he rolled his eyes and walked away. "I'm talking to you."

"I came to fetch Elijah for school and to take you to work so calm down beautiful, I'm not here to kidnap you." He replied jumping on the couch.

"Eli." I shouted and my son came running from upstairs with his school bag. "Be good at school and please don't hit people just because they don't like you." I begged him as I went on my knees and he nod smiling. "Now give me a kiss." Elijah gave me a kiss and I gave him one too.

"Mommy, when is daddy coming?" This is the question I created so many lies for, just because of Benjamin. He never answers my calls so I wouldn't even know if he still wants his children or not.

"Elijah, if we don't go to school now I won't buy you an ice-cream." Nicholas said picking him up. He always somehow helps me even though he is a jerk.

"Bye mommy." Elijah waved as they both left the house.

I quickly went upstairs and started to get ready for work because Nicholas will definitely give me a warning if I'm late for work.

"Emily, can I leave you." I asked my six month old daughter who was sleeping. "Your uncle Nick, wouldn't mind if I took you to work right?" I talked to myself and actually that was a great idea. I can't trust anyone to look after my daughter when she's just a few months old. I wish Anna was here because I know she wouldn't mind.

"I'll wake you up and dress you after I'm done." I told her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

I quickly showered and got dress as fast as I could. I already had breakfast with Elijah but I know this baby I'm carrying is always hungry so ill just have to eat again before I leave.

I woke Emily up and started feeding her, she's definitely the Angel her father always wanted. As soon as I was done feeding Emily I quickly washed her and dressed her afterwards. She is the opposite of Elijah, she's more like Stephanie and Elijah is like Stella. I picked her bag because I know I can't breastfeed her at work.

"You have five minutes." I heard Nicholas annoying voice. "It wouldn't look good for you if you late for your first day at work." He continued shouting and I quickly came downstairs with Emily.

"Give me two minutes just to eat." I asked nicely and he nod his head. "You can hold Emily so long." I handed Emily over to Nicholas and quickly went to the kitchen to eat.

"I hope you don't take after Jay." I whispered to my baby as I rubbed my tummy and I quickly ate as fast as I could. After I left Benjamin a few weeks later I found out I was expecting. I tried calling him without thinking but thank god he didn't answer.

"Who did you finally trust to look after Emily?" Nicholas asked as I came out of the kitchen. "Is it one of your neighbors?"

"I'll look after her myself." I replied taking Emily from him. "I have been in Paris for a month and a few weeks and I don't have a friend so I'm taking her to work."

"I'm your boyfriend and a boyfriend has a----wait you want to take her to work?" He started laughing and I nod my head. "No Sofia. I'm your boss and I can't favor you, I'm sorry."

"It's just until I make a friend, please Nicholas." I begged him but he shook his head. "I'm begging you. I really need the job but I can't also be a bad parent."

"Fine, just until you get someone to look after her." He finally agreed and I hugged him. "A kiss wou---." I looked at him angry. "Never mind, let's just go."

We all went in the car and the whole car ride he was talking about what I should do and stuff. He literally has a whole book written because of the way he was speaking. I was scared because I was a billionaires PA before and it was definitely not nice.

"You ready?" He asked as we went in the elevator.

"I'm not feeling well Nicholas. Why don't you hold Emily just until we go to your office." I replied and he laughed as if I made a joke.

"You scared." He uttered. "I thought you said you not scared of anyone." He added and I handed Emily to him.

"I'm not scared. I just want people to like me after all it's my first day. I want to make friends Nicholas." I quickly defended myself and the elevator stopped at our number.

Breath in and breath out Sofia!

"Morning sir." So many people greeted him as we walked passed, I kept looking on the floor because I was too afraid to look at their faces.

"I'm not scared." Nicholas mimicked. "You didn't even look up once Sofia. Anyways make sure Emily is invisible because I don't want her getting in the way of your work."

"Yes, Nichol---."

"Ahem." A women came in clearing her throat. "Sir, I need you to sign these papers and here is everything your new PA will need." Nicholas quickly signed the papers and told her to get out.

"We friends at home." Nicholas started and I looked at him confused. "When we at work Sofia, you can't call me by my first name and you can't argue with me."

"What must I call you then? Boss? sir?"

"Mr Russo." He smiled and I burst out laughing. "What's the joke now?"

"I have known you since I moved to Paris which was almost two months ago and you have been laughing at my last name being Valentines yet yours is Russo."

"We will argue about that some other times now start working. I have to pick up a friend from the airport and after that we might go for drinks, but don't worry I'll pick you up." I tried to open my mouth but he started talking again. "All those files, I want it neatly done and everything up to date. Bye Valentines." Nicholas left before I could even shout.

How I'm I suppose to look after Emily when he wants me to do everything in a day.

"Oh yes, if anyone asks you where I am than be a good PA and write their names down for me. I'll fire them." He shouted and left before I uttered a word.

Is he really that strict at work?

I definitely have to everything unless I want to be jobless again. I waited for almost two months for this stupid job so there's no way I'll get fired just because I couldn't do something so easier.

I locked the office door and put Emily downs so she can crawl while I work. I started working and everything was really easy. I know being a PA isn't a fancy job but I really miss this job so much. I loved being a PA to Mr Hassan who fired me because of Benjamin but this time I promise myself I won't get fired, especially not because of Benjamin. Someone started knocking on the door and I quickly got up and open the door.

"What are you doing in Mr Russo's office?" A women asked standing in front of me with a file.

"I'm his new PA---."

"Where is Mr Russo?" She asked not even letting me finish what I wanted to say.

"He said he will be back soon." I lied because I didn't want to ask her name and write it down just for her to get fired. I know how it feels to be jobless so there's no way I'll get anyone fired.

"Is that your child?" She asked pointing at Emily and I nod my head. "Children aren't allowed so don't bring her next time and don't lock this door again, Mr Russo hates someone that locks doors." She left after looking at me like I was some disgusting thing.

"Wait." Another women said before I closed the door. "Give these papers to Mr Russo and by the way Lex is just always bitter don't mind her." I nod my head as I took the pages. "Why didn't you write her name down?" She asked and I looked at her shocked.

"How do you know?"

"I overheard so next time don't forget to write her name down unless you want to get fired." She told me and I nod my head smiling. "I have to get back to work, bye."

"Bye." She left in a hurry and I closed the door, not locking it this time.

"Everyone thinks you don't belong here." I told Emily picking her up. "I know you miss your papa that's why you cry a lot at nights." I kissed her on the cheek than put her down again.

I started putting everything in order, Emily didn't even bother me. She just kept playing with her toy and fell asleep. I didn't even think far, where can I put her when there's no bed for her to sleep at work.

I picked her up and went to that girl who gave me the files, I'm sure she knows everything about this place.

"Can I come in?" I asked and she got up.

"You don't need to ask. Is something wrong with your baby?"

"No. She's fine but she's sleeping." I replied and started to bite my bottom lip.

"I can keep her, I really don't mind her sleeping on my lap. I'm done with my work and that arrogant boss of ours isn't here. So please, let me." I scanned her from top to bottom and she was actually so excited to look after my baby. "I love kids, I promise I won't let anything happen to her." She assured me and I gave Emily a kiss.

"Please, call me if anything happens." I mumbled giving Emily to her. "I'll be in Mr Russo's office and thank you for being kind." She nod and I left her with my daughter.

Oh god, please let her be fine with that nice women!

I started working and after an hour, I called Nicholas but he didn't answer his phone.

Me : Please don't forget to pick Elijah up.

After a couple of minutes of working again my phone peeped and I quickly read the message.

Mr Annoying : I already did but I took him to my house because there's a maid there. I'll bring him to the office when I'm coming to take you home. I won't be at work the whole day so make sure you write every name for me.

Me : You have a meeting today. I saw the file, it says Mr Singh will be here.

Mr Annoying : Make a plan please. Bye!

I left him on read and started working again.

"She's hungry." The women I asked to look after Emily came in with Emily crying.

"I'll feed her. Thank you." I quickly took Emily from her and took her milk out to feed her. I sat on the chair and she was really hungry because she couldn't wait to open her mouth when she saw the bottle.

"What's your name and your daughters name?" The women asked and I looked at her. "Mine is Geneva."

"Sofia." I replied still feeding Emily. "She's Emily."

"She looks cute, is Mr Russo the father?" I laughed at her words. I only met that idiot almost two months ago.

"Her father lives in New York, I think." She looked at me confused and after that we started talking about other things until Emily was full. Lunch time was nice and Nick still didn't come back. It was almost home time but I was worried about Nick. What is taking him so long?

"Let's go home." Nicholas said as soon as he came in. "How many names did you write down for me?" He asked as we got in the elevator.

"Where were you the whole day?" I quickly changed the topic because I didn't write one name down for him even though almost everyone was asking for him.

"I told you I was with my friend." He shrugged his shoulders as we walked out of the building.

"Mommy, I missed you." Elijah greeted me with those words as soon as he saw me.

"I missed you more, did you fight with anyone today." I asked as I got in the car and he shook his head. "That's my good boy." The whole car ride was silent and I was too tired to make small talks.

"Thanks, bye." I shouted as Nick drove off after dropping my kids and I. "Elijah, are you sure you were a good boy today?" I asked as we entered our house.

"Yes mommy and Em?" He asked.

"She was the best daughter." I replied and he sticked his tongue out for her. "I'll cook and you look after Emily, okay."

"Okay mommy." I quickly left for the kitchen and started cooking. I'm glad Benjamin taught me how to cook.

As soon as I was done cooking and I dished up for Elijah and I the door bell rang and I quickly attend to it. I know it can't be that fool because he has a copy of my car and he never knocks or anything. He sends me a message to open the door for him.

"Hi." I was speechless to see Benjamin standing in front of me. He didn't even call once or visit since when we moved here and today when I finally accepted that he wanted nothing to do with us, his here.
