I hear the alarm go off in the morning. I groan and hit the stop button. Austin leans over me and plants kisses all over my face. "It's time to go to work, Baby."

I sigh. "I'm tired. I want to stay in bed."

He shakes his head. "You need to get your beautiful arse up now. You are the boss of the company and I can't let you be lazy. I brought this company for us."

I pull the covers off. "Fine," I stand up. "You need to buy me a hot chocolate on the way to work."

"Done," he moves towards the door. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Bacon and toast." I open the door to the bathroom and brush my hair. I apply some make-up and enter the bedroom. I put on a pencil skirt and a white blouse that's loose fitting. I pull out a pair of flat shoes and slip my feet into them.

I walk into the kitchen and find Austin with an apron over his suit.

He smiles at me. "Sit down. I'll have breakfast ready in a minute."

I sit at the table and put a napkin over my skirt.

Austin brings the breakfast over and places it on the table.

I put a slice of toast on my plate.

After breakfast Austin and I cleaned up the kitchen.

Austin and I walk into our separate office and I boot up my computer. Once the computer has started I open the art folder on it and I start to design more clothes for the baby line.

At twelve Austin walks into the office. "Do you want to go for lunch or are you too busy?"

I look over from behind my computer at him. "Actually, I'm feeling inspired by the sketch I'm doing. Can you bring me something back."

Austin shuts the door and walks over to me. He wraps his arms around me and looks at the computer. "Are you going to dress the twins in your clothes?"

I nod. "The outfit I'm working on is something I want the twins to wear home when we get released from the hospital."

He points to the design. "I like it." He kisses my cheek. "I'm going to get some food. Call me if you need anything."

Austin walks out the door and one of the girls walk over to him. She touches him and he removes her hand from him. He looks toward my office and points at me.

The girl nod. She knocks on my door and enters the room.

Without giving me a chance to say 'come in.'

She waltzes into the room like she owns it and takes a seat across from me. She folds her arms and leans back in the chair. She props her feet onto the table. "That hunk of meat told me to talk to you."

I smirk.

"One, don't put your feet one my table." I push her feet off the table. "Two, you don't own this office, so, I won't allow you to waltz in here like you own it. Three," I point to my fiancé. "You need to stay away from my fiancé."

She sits up in her seat. "Who the fuck do you think you are?"

I rise and glare at her. "I'm Valentina and I own this company with my fiancé. If you don't change your attitude I will fire you and black list your name for other employers. This is your strike one. Two more and you'll be gone." I point to the door. "Have a good day."

"Bitch!" She mutters and exits the room.

I roll my eyes.

Austin presses the button to the lift and the girl stays away from him.

My secretary knocks on the door and waits for me to say 'enter.' She walks in and places some files on my desk.

I smile. "Thanks... "

"Christine," she offers.

She walks out of the office and slides into her seat behind her desk.

I finish off the current sketch. I email the sketches to Nicolette.

I look over at the lounge in my office. I rise and walk over to it. I take my shoes off and lie on it.

I'm woken by Austin. "Baby, I have food for you."

I take the bag from him and look inside. There's some bread and hot chicken.

I hug him. "Thanks,"

Austin sets the table with the food.

The email alerts me to a message. I walk over to the computer and check it.

From: Nikki

To: Valentina

4 January 2016

Hi Val,

I just got your e-mail and I will send it to the suppliers. The new clothes you came up with this morning are amazing. I hope they will turn out exactly as you see it.

Kind regards,

Nikki

Austin looks at the message. "Did you tell me you were friends with her once?"

I nod. "That was a long time ago."

He smiles. "Maybe, you can try and be friends with her again. I can tell you miss her and she's in the same boat."

I move over to the lounge and put some chicken on the sandwich.

Austin and I remain quiet while we eat our lunch.

I look to the door and I see the girl from early and she has her arms all over a guy that looks exactly like Austin.

"Austin, there's a guy out there that looks like you."

He looks out the door. "Shit," he stands up. "I didn't want you to meet my twin this way."

I shake my head. "You never told me you were a twin. Why doesn't your mother have photo's of him in the house?"

Austin opens the door. "All those questions will be answered soon. I have to see Zane."

Now I get a name to go with the face of my fiancé.

I watch Austin punch his brother in the face.

This is bull. I'm not going to allow this to happen in my workplace.

I step out of the office and stalk over to the twins. I pull Austin's hand behind his back. "Apologise to your brother and then go to your office."

Austin glares at him. "You deserved that."

"I know," Zane shrugs. "It's true."
