DePaul & Company

I need a job, but... I should've listened to everyone who warned me about Essex DePaul, the millionaire CEO of his own tax firm. He's one of the most handsome men I've ever seen. He has eyes that make you forget to swallow, a dazzling smile guaranteed to make your heart race, and a face you'd surely never forget. Everything about him is perfect-everything except his attitude. He's one of the rudest, most callous men I've ever met. He takes rude to an unprecedented level. At work, they call him 'The Dictator'. Look at him the wrong way and you're fired. Say something out-of-line and you're out on your tail. So, why do I work here? The money. I'm broke with no hope, living with my best friend in a cramped two-bedroom apartment. I need my own place and for some unfathomable reason, Mr. DePaul has agreed to pay me double the salary for an accounting position. With that much money, I should be able to put up with his attitude, shouldn't I?

I wanted to keep Quintessa close to me because she's special. She's a girl from my past that grew up into an amazing, beautiful brilliant woman. I want to make her mine, but she doesn't trust me fully because she doesn't know who I am. Therefore, the time has come to reveal my true identity before she finds out on her own, but things don't always go as planned, does it? I know that firsthand. If life went by a plan, Quintessa would've been mine years ago. We would've been together. We would've been living our happily ever after. But we're not. We're lagging behind. Playing catchup. Reminiscing… I can't risk losing her again after putting forth all this effort to ensure we found each other again. But who's to say that won't happen anyway, especially when I struggle with my own identity? When I fear that the person I've become is not a man she could love? This is the conclusion to the DePaul & Company Series!
