Chapter 52

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

I stormed out of the meeting with my boss Troy, pissed off. Fuck this label. I wanted to do shit my way. All I wanted was to release my material, I’d been working on my album for so long, endless hours in the studio both in New York and London, al for nothing? Just to start over? Fuck that, I’d rather leave. I needed to call Y/N to tell her what’s up. I knew she’d understand.

Y/N- *pauses* Dig, you gotta take it.

Diggy- What? No, I’m not taking that! They want me to start all o..

Y/N- All over, I know. But babe, we need you to be focused on something.. and we need the money

Diggy- No, with you working, we have enough to keep us for a while, right?

Y/N- *sighs* Babe, there’s no job for me in New York.

Diggy- *pauses* What?

Y/N- My contract said there wouldn’t be a position for me in the city anymore, the only place with a job for me at the label is here in London.

Diggy- *scratches his head and sighs* So, so what we gonna do? Babe, this is so bad..

Y/N- I know. It’s either we both take the jobs, or one of us is unemployed. Babe, we need the money, we’ve got the baby a..

Diggy- *cuts you off* Come back home

Y/N- What? Really?

Diggy- I know you hate not working, but babe, let me be the provider for our family... and I need you here. *sighs* I’ll go back to Troy and take the offer...

Y/N- Are you sure babe?

Diggy- Definitely. Pack up what you can and come back home. It’ll be fine, I promise. I love you

Y/N- I love you too, bye *hangs up*

Diggy- *sighs* Time to pick up my pride... *walks back in the office* 

Troy- *looks up* What do you want now?

Diggy- I.. I gotta take that offer. 

Troy- *folds arms* How come?

Diggy- My family needs me to do this. And I need a favour. I need my fiancée to have her job back. A job. 

Troy- *raises his eyebrow* Y/N? She’s your fiancée?

Diggy- Yeah.

Troy- *smirks* Interesting...

Diggy- I really, really need this for her. Please Troy. You know I’d never ask if she didn’t need it

Troy- *smiles* You know what, she’s a smart woman and we love her here. I mean, where would we be without her? I’ll make it happen. I want you here, first thing Monday to go over recording plans

Diggy- *puts his hand on his chest* Thank you. Thank you so much.. *walks out*

Troy- *smirks and bites his lip* Y/N...

*a few weeks later*

YOUR P.O.V.

Casey- *holds your hand and sheds a tear* I can’t believe you’re leaving already...

Y/N- Case, it’s only been five months, stop crying!!

Casey- Yeah but.. it felt like such a short time.

Y/N- *chuckles* It’s just work, huh?

Casey- But how can they just drop you like that? Surely there’s some kind of law that protects you from it

Y/N- *shakes her head* No, I don’t know. Besides, Dig said he got it sorted and we’ll be fine *smiles and picks up Malik’s carrier

*Announcement- Now Boarding Flight VS003 to New York*

Casey- *hugs you tight* You gotta go..

Y/N- I’ll miss you... and thank you so much. I loev you

Casey- *smiles* I love you too. Travel safe

Y/N- *grabs her suitcases*

*hours later in New York*

Y/N- *walks out the airport terminal*

Man- *holds up a sign with your name on it*

Y/N- *approaches him* Um, hi..?

Man- Y/N? *shakes your hand* Right this way ma’am.. *takes your luggage trolley from you* Mr Troy Hunter said you’re to call him right away..

Y/N- Troy? What does he want... *pulls out her phone* *looks at her missed calls* *dials phone*

Troy- *picks up after three rings* Hello?

Y/N- Hi, Troy? You called me when I was on a flight. And I’ve been told I need to call you?

Troy- Oh, so you landed back in the city already? I need you to stop by my office...

Y/N- I’m sorry but I have a four month old son, I’m really tired and that flight stressed me out. I can’t do that right now

Troy- it will only be for a few minutes and I’ll get out of your way, it’s fine. I promise. I’ll have one of my driver take you and the baby home immediately.

Y/N- *sighs* Okay..

Troy- I’ll see you soon. *hangs up*

*an hour later*

Y/N- *walks in his office* Give me a good reason why I shouldn’t hit you in the face right now. I have a four month old who needs sleep and you have me chauffeured around New York at 9pm?!

Troy- *chuckles*

Y/N- Where’s my fiancé?!

Troy- Somewhere in Long Island making me money right now. Please, take a seat.. I have a proposition for you..

Y/N- *breathes sharply and sits down*

Troy- You’re a smart and loyal person to the label, you’re family. We don’t want to lose you

Y/N- *raises her eyebrow* But you gave away my job while I was in London?

Troy- And now I want you to have an even better job. Working with me.

Y/N- Why would I want to work with you?

Troy- I always get what I want. I have the power, I make a lot of money.. and I have control over almost 45% of the label’s artists. You would share that with me. You’d have half my roster of artists.

Y/N- *thinks*

Troy- *stands up and walks over to you* You’re a stunning woman

Y/N- *looks up at him*

Troy- *plays with a piece of your hair* Diggy’s a lucky guy.. *chuckles to himself*

Y/N- *pauses* What’s in it for you? I know you, you always get what you want, even if you have to play dirty for it, Troy. I’ve seen the things you do..

Troy- *crouches to your seat* You’re gonna do everything I say. Anything I ask for. Even if it means playing my assistant for a while and getting me the odd coffee or two.. you go where I say you go, when I need you to run over documents for me, you do it. If I need you at work, you get your ass here in 30 minutes. *touches your hand* And you’re always up for doing me a favour

Y/N- Me too... *plays with his tie* Same treatment, same pay package.. *pulls him closer by his tie* 

Troy- *smirks* I like your thinking..

Y/N- *whispers and grips his tie* But if you think that I’m gonna be another office hoe you can play with.. you’ve got another thing coming.

Troy- *kisses you* 

Y/N- *pushes him back and wipes her lips* Ugh! Like you said, you don’t want to lose me.

Troy- *wipes his lips and laughs a little* Like I said, I always get what I want.

Y/N- *stands up* I’m so done here.. *grabs Malik’s carrier*

Troy- See you on Monday..

Y/N- *stops before she leaves* *glances back and walks out*

*at home*

I couldn’t get that off my mind.. I’d had kisses like that before and I knew what they meant. Something between lust, desire and desperation. I could feel it. And I shouldn’t have felt anything. In fact I don’t. That’s Diggy’s boss. And now my co-worker. But that kiss was something else. The whole situation was.. 

I knew Troy’s reputation quite well. It disgusted me how easy he thought women were. His own little bits of prey he aimed for. He had assistants he’d hired temporarily just to fuck whenever he felt like it, an avid visitor of strip clubs, dated a few artists on the label, including Jhené and had a string of women he could always have in his phone. He was more than attractive. A brown skinned piece of sexiness, the ever-freshly trimmed dark facial hair that any man would envy and the most fine body I knew existed. 

That man in a suit was all a woman could want. Who wouldn’t be attracted to him? But his ego and charm.. never worked on me. Ever. I hated it. I shouldn’t even think he was remotely attractive to me.. my mind was confusing me, but it was all so simple. I’m engaged, I’m planning my wedding to a wonderful man and I have a child with him. Why am I being so thoughtless?

Y/N- *watches the tv*

Diggy- *walks in the house*  *walks in the living room* Thank God you’re here. *rushes over to you*

Y/N- *gets off the couch and kisses him* Mm, I missed you..

Diggy- Sorry I wasn’t here, what happened at the airport? You get back safe?

Y/N- Oh, Troy sorted me out..

Diggy- Troy? You mean my boss, Troy? How did he know you landed?

Y/N-  I have no idea how he knew or even got my number.. but he kinda got me a job too

Diggy- Babe, that’s amazing! I told you it would all work out, what are you doing?

Y/N- I’m working with him

Diggy- *mouth opens*

Y/N- *cuts him off before he talks* I know what you’re thinking, but this is such a good opportunity. I mean, you see how much he earns and the power he has.. I get half of that and paid the same amount. Both of us are working.. and it’s all gonna work out soon.

Diggy- I trust my boss, but I don’t trust him with you

Y/N- *nods* I know.

Diggy- You’d know I have reservations about this. I know what he’s like.

Y/N- And I know too. I worked in the same department as the guy for years! I saw everything that happened

Diggy- *pecks your lips gently* You wouldn’t hurt me, right?

Y/N- *shakes head* Never.

Diggy- *kisses your lips again* Good. *holds your hand* I wanna plan for this wedding as soon as possible

Y/N- We’ve got all weekend to  write some stuff down and do whatever we want with ideas and stuff, okay?

Diggy- *nods* Okay. How’s the new house for you?

Y/N- It’s aite.

Diggy- Aite?

Y/N- *chuckles* It’s beautiful. I really have to get used to it.

Diggy- We need to christen it properly.. *kisses your lips* *kisses down your neck and collarbone*

Y/N- *moans softly* Mm, baby right now?

Diggy- My house, my rules.. *pushes you to the wall and kisses you*

*the next morning*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Y/N- *giggles* *gets on top of Diggy and straddles him*

Diggy- *smiles and bites his lip* 

Y/N- You know, I can’t remember the last time we did this..

Diggy- What, when it was just us two or when we were both up for morning sex?

Y/N- Both..

Diggy- Hmm, like a year ago?

Y/N- *laughs a little* Oh my God.. Alright, babe I need you to listen because I have to tell you someth..

*phone rings*

Y/N- *glances at it*

Diggy- *glances at it then you* You not gonna get that?

Y/N- I don’t work on weekends. And I’m still on maternity leave, so they can sort out whatever.

Diggy- Ooh, your boss ain’t gon be happy.. *laughs*

Y/N- Fuck my boss. Family over work any day *kisses Diggy* What can he do anyway? 

*Diggy’s phone rings*

Diggy- *grabs it and looks at it* I’ll be right back..

Y/N- *gets off him* Alright..

Diggy- *closes the door and answers it* *whispers* Now is not a good time..

??- But you promised this weekend.

Diggy- I know.. but I’m with my fiancée right now.. *sighs* I can’t do this anymore

??- You end this now and I’ll make sure you have no fiancée, no family and no wedding at all.

Diggy- You’re threatening me?

??- You want her to find out what you’ve been doing? Or who you’ve been doing?

Diggy- Don’t do this. I’ll make it up to you. I don’t know how, but I will

??- *smirks* You better..

Diggy- I gotta go.. *hangs up* *walks in the bedroom*

YOUR P.O.V.

Y/N- *stares at her messages*

??- I know what Diggy’s been up to while you were away.. trust me, you won’t be happy.

Troy- Get your ass to work now.

Y/N- *looks up at him from her phone* You okay babe? You look a lil shaken..

Diggy- Nope, no.. *gets in the bed* I’m fine..

Y/N- *puts her phone down* *straddles him again* So... where were we

Diggy- *feels down your waist and ass* You er.. wanted to tell me something?

Y/N- Hm? No, no nothing.. nothing.

Diggy- *smiles* Good.

*Monday*

Troy- *opens the door to his office*

Y/N- *walks in* What did you wanna see me f..

Troy- *closes the door* *locks it*

Y/N- *stares at him* Why the fuck did you lock it the door. This ain’t fu..

Troy- *kisses you* *pushes you to the bookcase* *wrestles his hands up and down your blouse* *unbuttons it from you*

Y/N- *groans and tries to fight him off*

Troy- Stop fighting..

Y/N- *squirms* Get off me, Troy!

Troy- *covers your mouth* Shut the fuck up. You don’t come into work when I ask you to.. you’re gonna repay me. Remember our little agreement?

Y/N- *pushes his hand off her* Fuck that agreement. I have family to make time for.

Troy- Fuck me instead... *kisses you again* *works his hands down to your ass*

Y/N- *pulls away from his lips* I’m engaged. I can’t do this.. not to Diggy...

Troy- *pulls the ring off your finger* *throws it on the floor* Not engaged anymore.. *lifts you up* *kisses your lips and nibbles on your neck*
