View MoreNikolai was stepping out of his office after a quick meeting when he met Barbra, Isabella’s secretary. She was breathing heavily like she had run a marathon. Nikolai didn’t have plans on stopping for her, but what he didn’t know was that she was running in his direction. “Mr. Cooper!” She breathed holding onto her knees.Nikolai looked at his team behind him whose faces were then filled with horror as they realized what had happened. Nikolai always had six of his staff to walk with him whenever it was after a meeting. After his re-introduction and taking over as CEO, no one dared stand in the hallway until he passed. Even the elevator and the parking lot where his car was, were always empty.He was now known as the Cold hearted CEO but he didn't care. He had a mission and he was going to accomplish it regardless of what rumours people stirred for him. Seeing the woman stand in front of him and block his way, made everyone rush forward but Barbra stood, “It’s about your fiance, she’s
“Is that Joane?” Isabella asked in surprise.“Seems like it. My girl is turning the city upside down.” Nikolai smiled proudly. “You looked gorgeous Sweetheart.”“Where did you get that dress?” Isabella pressed on curiosity building inside her.“Oh, you suddenly went mute so, I called Kiana for help.” Joane shrugged. “Kiana Reed, always reliable.” Nikolai laughed as he brushed Joane’s hair. A habit he had of playing with her hair anytime she was close to him.Isabella gasped, “Arthur Reed’s wife is your friend?”“Yeah.” Joane half laughed, “You seem pale, are you okay?” Joane asked.“Yeah. I’m good.” Isabella cleared her throat. Looking back at the TV.Joane's attention went back to the TV and was still shocked that her picture was the one that was making headlines, “Do they do this normally?” She asked.“Yes, they select one male and one female who stands out during the event and ask them to do an interview with Stay TV,” Nikolai explained.“Stay TV?” Joane asked. Still confused.“Y
“You’re like my drug. I’m addicted and I can’t get enough of you, Bullshit!” She mumbled under her breath."I love you. More lies and more bullshit!" Joane continued to speak under her breath. Joane had managed to find a taxi with the help of the stranger. She didn’t even wait to get his name when she sat and gave the driver the home address. She felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest as she replayed Isabella's words. She had hoped against hope that there was still a chance for her and Nikolai, but Isabella's confirmation shattered that hope into a million pieces.Tears that she had been holding inside erupted like a tidal wave. She couldn’t hold them back anymore as she clamped her mouth trying to muffle the sobbing. She felt like her heart was ripped into tiny pieces. It hurt so much that she wished someone would make it stop.Her shoulders were shaking as she cried her heart out. The pain of betrayal was fresh and new. “What should I do?” She asked no one in partic
As the announcement echoed through the room, Joane felt a wave of shock wash over her. She looked at Nikolai, whose expression mirrored her own surprise.Isabella, standing beside Marjory, beamed with joy as she raised her hand to show off the engagement ring. The room erupted into applause and congratulations as people approached Isabella to offer their best wishes.Joane stood frozen, unsure of how to process the news. She had no recollection of Nikolai ever mentioning sharing romantic feelings with Isabella, let alone being engaged. She felt a pang of hurt and confusion, wondering why Nikolai had never mentioned this important detail to her.So many questions began to hit her and she felt her knees go weak.‘When did this happen? How could this happen? I’ve spent two weeks with Isabel and she even wished Nikolai and I would be together, so what is this I’m now seeing?’ The questions kept on coming but she couldn’t think of an answer that would fit any of the questions.“You even ga
“Do you have any manners young lady!?” Mr.Park snapped angrily. The reason Nikolai had agreed to meet him was, to notify him of what would happen to his company since Nikolai and Arthur were now Marjory shareholders. Most of his workers complained about how abusive he was and barely paid his workers minimum wage when he made them work in poor conditions and over time. Nikolai's Jaw ticked as he looked at him with a cold glare which made him shut up upon realizing his mistake. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just thought it was unprofessional of her." He stuttered as he took his seat. Nikolai laid back in his chair and watched him calmly even though his insides were boiling. "Is that so? I suggest you apologize to the beautiful young lady because, to me, it seems like you're the one lacking manners. Don't you agree?" When Mr.Park looked up, the look in Nikolai's eyes told him not to argue, "Ahhh, yes. Miss," He turned to Joane. "Please accept my apology." He bowed his head sli
As Nikolai and Joane entered the hotel, they were greeted by the staff manager, who welcomed them with a warm smile."Mr. Cooper, welcome back. Your room is ready, as requested," the manager said, handing Nikolai a keycard. "And the table for your guests is all set."Nikolai nodded, thanking the manager before turning to Joane. "Shall we?" he asked, gesturing towards the elevator...Joane nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. Her heart was racing as he placed his hand on the small of her back.She was looking forward to arriving but now that they had arrived, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. A part of her felt like it was her first time and she didn’t know what to do. ‘I’ll choose random sex over planned sex any day!’ She thought as she stepped into the elevator and Nikolai joined her.As they rode the elevator up to their room, Nikolai turned to face Joane and moved slowly towards her with a smirk on his face, “I can hear your loud beating heart sweetheart, I don’t
Everyone’s jaw was on the floor as they watched the exchange between Nikolai and Joane. Nikolai was known as a player, but no one had ever seen him get physical or touch any woman in public before. The two ladies who had mistreated Joane exchanged a look of regret as they cleared their throats which suddenly felt extremely dry. Isabella who was equally shocked smiled as she came forward.“Nik, what are you doing here?” She smiled.“I came to check if Joane’s dress shopping is going fine. This is her first time here so I don’t want her getting uncomfortable or lonely.” He looked at Joane while saying all those things.Joane felt like her breath was caught in her chest as her stomach churned with different emotions as they exchanged looks. “Thanks, for coming,” Joane said as her face turned pink from the blush that was creeping up in her cheeks.“I guess we should get started then. Joane, have you seen any dress you like in the shop?” Isabella asked.“No, I need to look a little more,”
“Mum, what are you talking about?” Nikolai asked.Marjory stood from where she was sitting and moved closer, “You need to get married. It’s essential for you to secure the CEO position.” She half whispered.“What if I don’t want it?” Nikolai ran a frustrated hand in his hair,Marjory laughed like she had just heard a joke of the century, “Are you trying to kill me?” She moved backward and took a step behind, “Oh Lord! The child you gave me. He wants to throw away all I’ve worked hard for. Do you think I married your father because I loved him?”“Why did you marry him?” Nikolai asked softly, the previous events flashing in before him as he felt guilty for avoiding her the whole week. Marjory sighed, “It was to merge the two companies so that we wouldn’t lose the MacAdams Group. So many people were depending on that. So many families would have lost their jobs and slept hungry had I not made that sacrifice Nik. I hate to put this kind of pressure on you, but I have no choice. It’s eithe
“So, what did you tell her?” Arthur asked. Nikolai sighed heavily as he ran his hand through his thick blonde hair. “I told her Dad would tell her and I left.” He responded in a frustrated tone. “That’s pretty sick. I’m sorry man. I know how much you love your father.” Caspian jumped in. “I don’t know what to do with this mess guys. I’m shipwrecked.” Nikolai said in defeat. “A tough ass hole like you shipwrecked?” Caspian laughed. "When it comes to the women in my life, I'm hopeless." He sighed again. "Women? Is there another one apart from your mother?" Caspian asked. There was silence for a few minutes before Nikolai answered and said, "No." It was a week later since the incident in his father’s office and Nikolai refused to go home after that. He spent the rest of the week taking Joane shopping and renovating the penthouse according to her preferences with the help of Isabella. There was a knock on the door that made Nikolai look up and place his palm on the phone, “What
