Dangerous Desires Novel

Luke.

I arrived at the office earlier than usual, so I could clear my desk and move to my father’s office. I did not have much in the office, so it did not take long to clear out of the space and head to the top floor office. The office was as exquisite as I remembered it. I sat on the Swivel chair, and it was fantastic looking at the skyline from the glass windows and walls of the building. The glass was so clean that they looked as if they were not there. I got up and paced about the office. My mother’s picture hung beautifully on a wall. Stacy had tried to make my father take it down, but he never did. Now I know why.

To my surprise, Monica walked into my office with some files, and I was stunned. “What the fuck are you doing here!” I asked her, and she smiled nervously.

“I am a temp. Your secretary called in sick, so they asked me to fill in for her.” she said, and I was angry. “Did I not tell you I do not want you on my floor? Did you tell HR how I would feel about this? “I asked her and her eyes welled up with tears; Boohoo, Stacy’s gimmicks.

“Please, Mr Moon. I do not have ulterior motives; I just want to do a good job,” She explained.

“Yes, an excellent job indeed. To spy on me and sabotage me,” I said, and she shook her head. I walked back to the desk and picked up the receiver on the intercom to call the HR department. It took a while before they answered.

“I do not want Miss Monica working on my floor ever again. Send up another Temp, now please,” I said and hung up. “Mr Moon, I know you do not like my aunty, but I have done nothing to you. Please give me a chance.” she cried.

“I am not firing you; if you truly came here to work, you should be content with whatever you get. Now leave those files on the table and leave my office,” I ordered her coldly. She shook with fear, and I could care less. I was so going house hunting with my wife.

My father was too stupid in love to see what was wrong with the picture. Stacy could not have changed overnight, she was up to no good, and the realisation that someone might be watching me was eerie because I knew it could not be for a good reason. I need to be very careful; I had a lot to lose while Stacy and her son had a lot to gain.

I sat at my desk and attended to the files Monica had brought in. The new temp was efficient, and she did a good job. We finished quickly, and by afternoon, I was doing some house hunting on my computer.

I hadn’t told my father I was planning on moving out or that I had asked Tia to enrol in medical school part-time. I knew he would be okay with Tia’s schooling, but he would not be okay with my wife and me moving out; that was why I decided I would have a private talk with him to convince him. If I wanted to have a good life and live peacefully with my wife, I needed to be away from Stacy and Caleb. I cannot let Tia experience what I experienced all my life with Stacy. I have to protect her.

The intercom rang, and I answered it.
