It’s been three days since th incident and she hasn’t been able to wrap herself around what had happened, it’s like the adrenaline had faded leaving behind a pale shaken version of Alyssa White. She snapped out of her train of thoughts as her sharp intelligent eyes went straight to my bandage on my arm. She was still worried about me I could see a flicker of something like worry, fear crossed her face before it was replaced by a careful neutral mask. “How’s your arm?,” she asked her tune was quiet. “It’s better,” I replied sounding. “I told you it’s just a graze. It’s been handled.” I stayed by the door refusing to move closer. The space between us felt like a mile-wide canyon. I could still feel the ghost of her body against mine when I pulled her to my arms, her innocent scent. Fuck! I’ve never wanted something so bad yet I couldn’t have it. “The

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY SIXAlyssa I waited for him all night but he never showed, I know I shouldn’t be worried about him after our argument, after what he said to me but he took a bullet for me.I could nearly sleep last night my ming kept seeing it. The gun. The man. The loud bang. Ares grunting in pain. The blood on his white shirt.Where was he?He did not come to my room, he did not call me or drop a message that he was fine.Nothing.I was so worried. Was his arm okay? Was the bullet still in there? Did he see a doctor? Was he in a lot of pain? Did he get hurt again after I left.The night felt very long as I watched the clock on my wall. One hour passed. Then two. Then three. Till morning and he still didn’t return.I got out of bed not not bothering to change from my sleep shorts and a tank top as I walked out of my room and went downstairs.I saw one of the maids all of them working towards their assigned tasks."Good morning Ms. White," she said."Good morning," I answered my voice was rou

I was cleaning the gunshot wound on my arm It was a deep graze not a clean through-and-through but it still It hurt like hell. The floor was stained with blood as I treat myself. “What happened?” Robert’s thundered as he walked until he was standing right in front of me. I kept dabbing the wound with alcohol not even flinch. “You saw the news… she gave a speech—“He cuts me off “I’m not talking about the damn deal Ares!” he shouted. “I saw the news footage from outside the hotel There was a shooting and my daughter was there, what the hell happened?”I finally looked at him my eyes were cold. “What do you think happened?

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY FOURAlyssa I walked to the podium the lights feeling a little bit too bright in my stinging eyes, with many people were watching me and the cameras flashing it made my stomach churn in fear, I didn’t want to mess up.Clearing my throat, "Good evening," I began my voice clear and strong. "Thank you all for coming…. I am Alyssa White, the CEO of White Enterprise."I talked about my late father's dream for the company, about my plans for the future. I talked about new projects and I. made sure I sounded strong and in control even though I was mentally losing it.When I finished my speech I said, "I will now take a few questions."Many reporters put their hands up at once.A woman from a business news channel spoke first. "Ms. White can you confirm that White Enterprise is ending all business with Johnson Holdings? And can you tell us why?"I looked straight at the camera. "Yes I can confirm that we are ending our partnership with Johnson Holdings It is a business decision."Another reporte

The voice that usually made me feel safe but not right now, not after my conversation with his daughter… i didn’t even feel like talking to him now, talk less of looking at him. I ignored his callings as I kept walking faster now pushing through a side door that led to a quiet garden outside.He followed me I could hear his footsteps right behind me."Alyssa stop," he said.I spun around to face him all the anger and hurt I had been feeling boiled over."Just fuck off Ares!" I yelled my voice shaking."Go away! Why don't you go be with your wife? Huh? Why are you always here with me? I never asked for you to be my bodyguard or to come back into my life, I was doing hust fine before you came."He looked completely lost his face was confused. "My... my wife? Alyssa what are you talking about?""Don't play dumb with me Ares, I am not stupid" I screamed. "You lied to me all this time you were still married. How dare you li

"Higher Daddy… Higher!" she screamed and he pushed her gently with a smile spread on his face. Isabella was showing him her book pointing at a picture and Asher was hanging from the monkey bars showing off.My heart felt so full it was almost painful It was a picture I had dreamed of for so long. Seeing the kids so happy and with their father, something I had denied them for years, it made my eyes sting with tears. If only they had him right from child birth then with no doubt I know Dante would have been the best father, he’s only been with the for a week but their relationship with him felt like it was forever.

Chapter: 093.A R I A N A The next day after sarah helped me drop the kids off at school she came over I had not slept all night my eyes were red and puffy. I felt like a ghost. "I don't know what to do Sarah," I whispered my voice rough from crying. "I don't know how to tell the kids. What do I even say? 'The man who helped with your homework is your dad'? How will they take that news? Will they be happy? Will they be angry with me for lying?" I put my head in my hands. "And Dante... I look at him and... I still love him and if I’m being honest I never stopped loving him I want to be with him I want him to be there for the kids I want to wake up and not be so scared all the time."

When I left Dante, when I took those papers... my father said I could never go back I had to disappear. He said

A part of me wanted to say yes to let someone help me to let him hold me and tell me it would be okay.But another part of me was so scared.“I… I don’t know Dante,” I whispered. “I’m not sure.”“What are you not sure about?” he asked as his brows furrowed in confusion.“I’m scared,” I said, the truth spilling out. “I’m scared to get hurt again and I’m scared for the kids. What if you change your mind? What if it gets too hard? What if you one day decide leave? It would break their hearts It would break my heart, I can’t go through that pain again.”“I am not going to
