My woman

Calvin stood in front of his room mirror nodding his tie. He was fully dressed and ready for work but then he heard a gentle knock on his door

"Come in." he said thinking it was Ellie or any of the other maids but to his utter stupefaction, Allison entered. He just stood like an idiot gaping at her. She is the least person he expected to see in his room uninvited. She will even be unwilling to come if invited. He just stood watching her without blinking as if she might disappear if he makes a little mistake.

"What are you doing here Allison?" He asked her softly

Allison hesitated for a while before answering.

"I will go with you." she suddenly said

His lips slanted into a huge and beautiful smile. He wanted to rush over to hug her but he stopped in his tracks. He shouldn't over react. What if she changes her mind.

"Really?" He asked her trying unsuccessfully to hide the excitement in his voice.

"Yes." was her short answer. She had wanted a change of environment. She felt like she should take a little break from visiting the hospital.

"How long are we staying there?" She asked

"The dinner will last for three days but we will come back any time you want us to." he said still smiling. He walked up to her and caressed her cheek fondly unlike his previous predator ways. She jolted at the contact, her stupid body was ever ready to betray her.

"Thank you Allison." Calvin said looking at her at and Allison could see the sincerity in his eyes.

"It's okay. I just need to make sure that my sister will be properly taken care of while I'm away."

"That's not a problem. I will take care of that." He replied almost immediately.

"What's the name of the hospital she is in?" he asked.

"Saint Peters."

"Okay."

"When are we leaving?" she asked.

"Tomorrow." Calvin said hoping that she wouldn't change her mind. "We can go the day after if you want"

"No. it's fine." Allison said "I guess I will just have to spend today packing."

"You can ask the maids to do that if it's too stressful for you."

She chuckled a little "I think I can handle myself, thank you for your concern."

Calvin just smiled at her before she turned around to leave the room. He wanted to ask what made her decide to come with him but he didn't want to risk her changing her mind. She was so furious the last time he tried to talk to her about it. He was so happy that she willingly came to him. Maybe she is finally loosening up. Maybe.... just maybe if he steps up his game, she will let him in.

It still baffles him how he changed from someone so fierce and uncaring to this meek and gentle person he thinks he is becoming. Well, it was just in front of her. His workers and employees have all been on their toes since their boss got on a roller coaster of emotions. Most times, he seems to be angry, other times, he would be more menacing than usual, some very few times, they would see sadness and longing in him.

Calvin had tried on several occasions to deny his feelings but Leo told him that denial would only make it worse and he was right.

He has a new mission with her, and that wasn't to satisfy his libido but to get her. He wanted her so he will work for it and he will get her. He has always been able to get what he wanted anyway.

Calvin stood impatiently in front of his car tapping his feet. What is keeping her so long? She doesn't have much to do, just to dress up. Her things were already in the car as he had earlier instructed the workers to carry them for her. He isn't used to waiting for people, it has always been the other way round. And now this lady has left him standing there for almost thirty minutes and he couldn't do anything about it. 'Be patient', he had continued to chant in his head but it didn't seem to work, instead he felt his impatience rise with each passing second.

Just as he was about to storm back inside the house, the door opened and she came out and at that moment, his gazed locked on her. He looked at her face for a few seconds before trailing his eyes down the length of her body. She wasn't that glamorously dressed but he still found her breath taking. She was wearing a royal blue, knee length, handless and tight gown that did nothing to hide her hour glass figure and a six inches pencil heel. The dress has silver designs that went with her purse, shoes and accessories. Her walking step oozed with the kind of confidence he hasn't seen in her before with her hair gloriously falling down her back and the side of her face. Her make up is light with a faint pink blush and light pink lipstick.

Calvin found himself gawking at the beauty before him. He found her beautiful before, but at that moment, he could swear that she literally took his breathe away.

Calvin was only brought back to the realm of the living when Allison was standing face to face with him. Why does this fragile looking woman appear so daring?

"You look stunning Allison." he managed to say.

"Thank you. You look gorgeous also." She replied with a straight face. He happened to also be wearing a royal blue tuxedo and a neatly ironed trouser. She thought that he looked sexy in anything he wears.

Calvin opened the door and allowed her to get in first before he entered and ordered the driver to drive.

The ride was eerily quiet and Allison seemed to have lost her composure and was sitting stiffly and as far as possible from Calvin. She was literally hugging the car door.

Calvin felt a light pang in his chest at her action. It looked like she couldn't just wait to get away from him. Why did she find him so repulsive? Oh! he knows why. He had sexually assaulted her. He really deserves to be hated.

"Relax Allison, I am not going to eat you."

She gave a little shy smile before visibly relaxing a bit. Calvin could only sigh.

The ride finally came to a stop inside a very large compound that looks to be made up of acres of land. Calvin came down first and stretched out his hand to her silently demanding her to take it. She stared at it for a while before stretching out her hand to put it on his. Calvin smiled at her action.

When Allison stepped out, she couldn't help but gape at her surrounding. If she thought Calvin's house was huge, this one was mighty. The house looked a bit ancient but luxurious. How many lived here for it to be this big? Rich people no doubt like wasting resources.

Calvin held her hand and walked into the house with the house workers greeting them and looking at her in astonishment. Calvin's numerous affair with women was nothing new to them but this is the first time they are seeing Calvin with a woman in the ancestral home.

Calvin suddenly put his hand around Allison's waist making her jolt in surprise and he chuckled at her reaction

"Relax Allison." he said and she relaxed a little.

He took her and walked straight into the living room, they saw that his family was already seated around the dining table. They all looked surprised to see him and he even came with a woman. He walked up to his grandma still holding Allison. The old lady stood up to hug him with an ecstatic smile.

"Hi grandma "

"Oh you sweet little boy, I didn't know you would make it." She pulled his cheek fondly "And who is this beautiful lady with you?" She asked turning to Allison grabbing everybody's attention. They all wanted to know who the lady that managed to make Calvin bring her to the ancestral home is.

Calvin just smiled, he knew that they were all anticipating. He turned to Allison and smiled at her taking everyone aback. He never smiled like that to any woman before.

"Grandma this is Allison..." he paused and looked at her again "...my woman"
