Chapter: chapter 21Sabrina POV “Come on! Are you going to keep ignoring me? I said I am sorry already! Which mind you, isn't something I say often.” Ronan says with a pout as he unlocked the door to the house.I remained silent, glaring at him as the door clicked open and we walked in. I expected to see Adam around because he was usually hovering around the sitting room and the kitchen, but I couldn't find him. Maybe he is sleeping, I thought with a shrug.He let out a sigh before pulling me closer to him, wrapping his arm around my waist. He gives me a pleading look. “Please don't be mad, I promise you will enjoy this evening!”“I doubt that,” I say huffing as wriggle out of his stone-like grip as I head upstairs to take a shower in my room.Ronan chuckles as he follows behind me. When I got to the door of my room, I turned to arch a brow at him in question.“I need to take a shower, so if you will excuse me…” I made a shooting gesture which made him smirk and gave me an amused look.“Don't take too l

Chapter: Chapter 20Ronan's POV It's been a week since Sabrina moved in with me and it's been a blissful experience. I never knew staying with someone could be so peaceful and enjoyable.“Sir, I have completed the paperwork for Miss Seattle’s transfer to the tech department. Mr. David signed his approval this morning.” Micheal, head of human resources said into the phone.“That's good! She will be resuming on Monday.” I say hanging up and placing the phone back on the table.I stood up and stretched to relieve my muscles from the stiffness. I have barely risen from my desk since morning. The Monaco project we are planning to launch at the end of the month has been keeping me occupied lately. After the stress of the week, I need to get some rest and unwind a little which is why I am closing earlier than usual. I picked up my briefcase and phone before heading out of my office. My eyes immediately landed on Sabrina with her head bent over some papers on her desk. I gently shut my office door so as not

Chapter: Chapter 19Sabrina's POV “Wow, this place is amazing! I can't even afford a bottle of water in this place .” I exclaim in awe as Maxwell drops us off. I am aware Ronan is rich, I mean the shopping at the boutique proved that, but still, bringing me to a five-star restaurant where a cup of water probably cost up to 100 dollars? I don't want to know how much money Ronan has in his account to be able to afford all of these luxuries without stress.“Darling I am the one paying so you don't need to bother about affording a bottle of water.” He frowned. “I can afford it, so just relax and enjoy yourself.” with the confident smile of someone who knows his worth, he takes my hand in his and me inside.I discreetly finger my hair hoping to straighten it into something a little nice. Because of how late I was this morning I hadn't had time to do anything to my hair. I wasn't expecting to go out. I drop my hand back to my side when I see that my attempt to arrange it is only worsening it.Immediately we s

Chapter: Chapter 18Sabrina's POV “Hey, beautiful! How are you doing?” Richard asks, placing a cup of coffee in front of me. My gaze snapped up from the paperwork Ronan gave me yesterday. I have been trying to sort them into their different folders. “I'm good Richard! Thank you for the tea. What's the occasion?” I ask curious He arches a brow as he perches on the edge of my desk, followed by an ominous creak under his weight. “Do I need a special occasion to get my new bestie a cup of coffee? So how is your second day going?” I shook him a grateful smile loving his jovial nature. He has been a breath of fresh air since I started here “My day just got better with you here. But don't you have work to do? Why are you frolicking about?” I ask in mock disdain. He scoffs before rising to his feet. “Seriously, this is the thanks I get for coming to take care of the woman of my dreams?” He clothes his chest dramatically and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his poor attempt at flirting. “Yo

Chapter: Chapter 17Sabrina's POV “Are you okay?” Ronan asks for the third time since we left his parent's house. “I told you already. I am fine.” I lied. I don't know how I feel right now but I don't think telling Ronan about it is the best thing to do at the moment, besides whining about what has happened isn't going to change anything. I just want to get to my room, lock my doors, and let all of the frustrations and pain I feel inside out.“I know I have said it before but I am still very sorry about what happened to my parents. I never expected Mom to slap you. I know she can sometimes lose her cool but I have never seen her physically assault anyone before.” Ronan says, sounding very apologetic. I shrugged. “You don't need to apologize. You are not responsible for your mother's actions. Besides I signed up for this contract so I guess I have to be prepared for everything that comes with it.” I say feigning nonchalance.“You didn't sign up for being physically abused, Sabrina. I will talk to my

Chapter: Chapter 16Ronan's POV I knew the news about my engagement to Sabrina wasn't going to go down well, especially bearing in mind that Mom keeps forcing me to get married to Olivia because of her family and the wealth married to her would bring to us, as if we needed their money. However, never in my wildest imagination did I expect the absolute chaos that rained down the minute I declared Sabrina as not just pregnant with my babies but that I intended to marry her.Before I could blink an eye, Olivia leaped from her chair and tackled Sabrina to the ground. I jumped in, tearing her away from Sabrina and pulling her to myself which seemed to infuriate her more as she tried to rush over to her“Stop it, Olivia! I know you are mad, but it's unfair to attack Sabrina!” I shouted “It's unfair? Did I just hear you right? She stole you away from me and you think I should not teach this gold-digging whore a lesson?” She demands eyes blazing with wrath.“I didn't steal anyone. I never knew he was your boy

Chapter: CHAPTER 140Alexia’s POV “I don't want the pink dress. I want to put on the blue dress.” Amy pouted, shifting away from the pink dress like she found it offensive. My little girl looks beautiful with her red hair, Ethan's blue eyes, and a face so perfect “The pink dress is better and it brings out your eyes.” I tried reasoning with my 2-year-old daughter.Today is Allen and Amy's 2 years birthday and Ethan and I are throwing a party for them.The others will soon be here and Amy is still delaying us further.“No mummy. Blue is better because it's the color of my daddy's eyes. I rolled my eyes at her, not surprised by her response. Everything is always about Ethan, to say that my little girl and Ethan are close would be putting it mildly. I have been having this dress argument with her for the past 10 minutes and I'm about to insist she puts on the dress when Ethan walks into Amy's room.“Daddy!” Amy squealed excitedly as she ran at Ethan. I smiled ruefully as I watched Ethan pick up Amy and th

Chapter: CHAPTER 139Ethan's POV “Look at my handsome grandson. Isn't he the cutest baby ever?” Mom cooed as she bent over our baby boy sleeping peacefully in his crib. A small smile played on my lips. I haven't seen her this excited in a very long time.“Yeah, he certainly is.” Dad, who is also standing behind her, agreed. “If only that dumb skull over there would allow us to see our granddaughter!” He added drily, shooting a furious glare at me. “I am not letting anyone near my princess, just yet. She needs to spend quality time with her daddy.” I repeated for the hundredth time today, scowling at my Dad and Mom. Just before they could retort, the door to our hospital room was pushed open and Nathan, Ryan, Stacey, and Grace walked into the room.“Great, the entire crew is here!” I grumbled surly. Amelia shoots me a dark look.“Ethan, be nice! They are here to celebrate with us and see the newest members of the family.” I shrugged. I know I was being an ass but can anyone blame me for wanting some alon

Chapter: CHAPTER 138 Alexia POV. “Come on Alexia, just one more push.” my doctor said for what must be the 20th time. “That’s what you said the last twenty times.” I groaned, glaring at the doctor. I know she is just doing her job but I can't help but feel frustrated. I have been in labor for the past thirty minutes and I still haven't pushed out a baby. I can feel my body tiring and the pain is like nothing I have ever felt before. “Darling just one more! I know you can do it.” Ethan who has been beside me this whole time said, still holding my hand. He looks just as frazzled as I look. I had the irrational urge to laugh as I stared at his rumpled look, imagining the reaction of his staff if they could see their prim and proper CEO looking anything but prim. As I imagined their faces, a fit of hysterical laughter burst out of me as both the doctor and Ethan exchanged twin looks of confusion, probably wondering if I had finally lost it, which just made me laugh harder. A high-pitched cry suddenly c

Chapter: CHAPTER 137Alexia’s POV “You are the reason we are late for this dinner! So be ready to handle your mom's complaint.” I said, shooting an accusing look at Ethan as he helped me out of the car.“Don't worry! You can blame me, you can blame me.” He was laughing. I struggled to hold on to my anger as the laughter I had been holding on tried to bubble up at his playfulness. I love Ethan's playful side. It's a side very few people are privileged to see.He took my hand in his ass and ushered me into the mansion.The dining room was as grand as I remembered but it still looked cold and sterile. Our dining room isn't as big and grand as this but I will pick it over this one anytime, any day because of the warmth it exudes.The long table was elegantly set with silverware, crystal glasses, and ivory candles that cast a warm glow across the room. At one end, Ethan’s mom was already fussing over the placements, rearranging flowers and adjusting napkins, her excitement barely contained.As we entered the

Chapter: CHAPTER 136Ethan's POV “Gentlemen, I think what you guys have come up with is good but if we want to truly broaden our space in France we could do better than this.” I said viewed the projections on the screen.I leaned back on my chair. One of the benefits of being the CEO is that you are privileged to sit at the head of the table and take in the reaction of your team. I noticed that at more comment some of my team members nodded their agreement while some were still frowning like they don't totally agree with me, which is actually okay by me. I am comfortable enough in my space to allow dissenting opinions so long as the reasons are good. In my view it helps in business.Liam lifted his eyes to meet mine like he was about to say something and just as I was about to tell him to go ahead, my phone buzzed quietly on the table. I glanced down, and a small smile tugged at my lips when I saw it was Alexia's name flash on the screen. This one she is calling me in the middle of work, she must be m

Chapter: CHAPTER 135Alexia’s POV I thought about all I had learned this morning as I approached Nathan’s office. What she had found was more complicated than she’d anticipated, and she knew she needed Nathan’s support to get to the bottom of it.I tapped lightly on the frosted glass door, hearing the muffled “Come in” from inside. Taking a deep breath, I stepped in, finding Nathan behind his desk, absorbed in his computer screen, closing the door behind me, as I walked up to his desk. The sound of the door closing, jolted him as he looked up in surprise, his eyes lighting up when he saw her.“You are back so soon?” He asked, sounding surprised.I smiled at him. “Yes, at least for now. I have spoken to a few of your staff, and I think I will speak to the others later. I don't want to rush things so whoever is responsible wouldn't suspect we are unto him or her.Nathan raised an eyebrow, interest immediately piqued. “Did you find anything from the few of them you spoke with?”I nodded, settling into th

Chapter: chapter 7Craig Pov“Guys! I asked Nicole to marry me and guess what?" Without waiting for our response, he went on. “She said yes!" Drew announced excitedly, smiling so wide, he might break his jaw."Isn’t that too soon? I mean you guys have only been dating for how long now? A year?” Liam asked as he leaned back on his chair.We are hanging out at the Dome's bar, one of the several bars Liam owns. He has been hounding me for the past few weeks to go out with him and Drew and I have been turning him down. However, after another session with Lina at my office working on strategies to bring the editorial department back to where it was before Nicolas ran it under, I needed to go out to clear my head.Being in the same space with her, inhaling her intoxicating scent and not being able to touch her has been pure torture these past weeks. Which was why when Liam called to invite me for drinks, I jumped at it.“We’ve been dating for a year and a six months now, and frankly I always knew she was the

Chapter: Chapter 6“Hey! How did he go? Did you get the job? Please tell me you got it.” Amelia fired off the minute I stepped into her office. I smiled in her amusement at her excitement. To think we just met this morning and she is already so sweet, to say I am so relieved to have a friendly face at work would be an understatement. “I got the job." She squealed loudly and did a mini dance. “Bring your voice down! What if Mr. Morrigan hears you.” I said, shushing her, my eyes straying to the door, worried the noise will attract Mr hardass. She rolled her eyes at me before going back to her seat. “The office is soundproof so he can't hear us." "oh okay” I feel stupid. I should have known she wouldn't have squealed so loud if the office wasn't soundproof. “So when do you resume?" She asked. “Right now?" The answer came off sounding like a question. “No way! I know Mr Craig can be very demanding, but I still didn't expect him to ask you to resume work immediately!." She sounds genuinely offended

Chapter: Chapter 5Catalina's PovStanding in front of The Crown's Media house headquarters which happens to be the venue of my interview this morning, I can't help feeling nervous.This is my fifth interview since I moved to New York three weeks ago. Sarah has been kind enough to allow me to live with her in her two bedroom apartment, but the little savings I have is about to run out and I desperately need to get this job.When the Human Resource manager called yesterday about me coming for an interview this morning, I jumped at the chance. I only submitted my application two days ago.Taking a deep breath, I pull my shoulders back and stride towards the entrance. I hope I get this job. I am not sure I can deal with any more rejections.Once inside, I make my way to the security desk in the center of the foyer.“Hello." I say to the stern-looking man behind the counter. My name is Catalina Bryce, and I am here for an interview with Mr Kane.“Welcome Catalina. Give me a minute to ring him to let him kno

Chapter: Chapter 4 Craig's Pov“Mr Gustavo is here to see you, sir.” My personal assistant Amelia says as she knocks lightly on my door.“Show him in” I don't look up to say it and go back to the media house report I have been perusing since I came into the office. The numbers are abysmal. The sales statistics over the past two months have dropped to an alarming low and I can't have that.“Good morning sir, you sent for me." Nicolas the asshole has been the head of the editorial department and I am certain he would not like what I am about to say, thankfully I don't care.I didn't tell him to sit, so he remained standing as I ignored him. It's a power move that I have mastered over the years. “Do you care to explain why our flagship morning show has lost 22% of its audience in the last two months? Online engagement has plummeted. Advertising revenue is down 15%. And digital subscriptions? Nearly flatlined, or why our stories in the papers have been reduced to mere storytelling without credible facts.

Chapter: Chapter 3Catalina's PovI checked my dress for the tenth time to make sure there was no evidence of what I had just done with that stranger. As I slowly walked back to the hall in search of Todd—who must be looking for me by now. I tried to compose myself, hoping I don't appear as rattled as I feel inside.The last twenty minutes had been so intense, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. I didn’t know it was possible to climax so many times; I stopped counting after the tenth. My legs were shaking, and I could barely walk upright without wincing. That beast had ruined me forever. How could a man have such stamina?“Lina, I’ve been looking everywhere for you! Where have you been?” Todd demanded angrily the moment he spotted me.“I’m sorry. I... I... I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to the restroom to relieve myself,” I stammered.“I see. It’s probably something you ate—you’ve always had a weak stomach.” There wasn’t an ounce of concern in his tone, but I was grateful for the misunderstandi

Chapter: Chapter 2 Are we still on Earth, or have we just stepped into space? That was the thought clanging through my mind as Todd and I stepped into the event hall. Everything—from the decorations to the catering—screamed luxury and opulence. I was certain no expense had been spared in putting this party together.I had attended a few of his company’s parties with him in the past, but none of them could hold a candle to this one.I guessed it had to do with the fact that this party was specifically in honor of their CEO, Morrison Craig—a name that had people, including Todd, whispering in terror. It made me wonder what kind of man could incite such fear in the hearts of others.Though I had never seen him before—since he never attended any of the few parties I’d been to—I resolved in my heart that if he did show up, which I seriously doubted, I would stay far away from him. From everything I’d heard, a man like that is nothing but trouble, no matter how much money he has.“Why don't you go get somethi
