Michael's POV *****I woke up with a slight headache on the couch in my living room wondering how I ended up there. I yawned loudly and stood up to stretch, still wearing my outfit from the previous night.My gaze fell on Alex who was snoring peacefully at the far end of the couch, he must have overslept. I tried to recall the time we had left the bar the night before, but my memory was hazy.Shrugging it off, I focused on getting to work on time. Punctuality was my top priority.With my headache intensifying with each passing moment, I slowly made my way to where Alex was sleeping and shook him awake, he sprang up immediately as if he had only been resting his head.“Good morning sir” He said standing up to stretch. “I'll go get ready for work.” He said and proceeded to the door. I yawned again, trying to shake off the feelings of fatigue. How much had I drunk the night before?While getting dressed for work, I felt tired and exhausted at the same time, it was odd that I had a fuzz

I’m Gabrielle, gab for short.” The other girl flashed her even white teeth, and made a 360 turn. Who asked her to?“Yes?” Alex frowned.“Would you mind, if we join you?”Alex looked around, checking for a vacant table. He cleared his throat and pointed to one. “There are still a lot of vacant tables around.”Both girls flushed and then giggled, all the time eyeing at me.“Actually, um… we just wanted to introduce ourselves.” The one called rose, spoke upthere was no response or nudge from either of us.“Um…. we’re wondering if you could hang out with us later. Go to the mall, or do fun stuffs or something.”“We’re very busy girls. We have a lot of work to do. We don’t have the time for that.” I heard Alex rejecting their offer lightly“That’s soo boring. Whatever” The girls stormed out furiously.When the girls left, I was back to my worried state. I was running out of time. The fact that my grandfather intends to act as a matchmaker scared and annoyed me at the same time. I wasn't i

Michael's POV I settled into my lounge, dressed in a white robe and stared directly at the serene mini beach beyond my window. The sounds of gentle waves crashing against the shore was perfect for my afternoon relaxation. I was passively sipping a cold juice as I tried to relax my mind.I had cancelled all my appointments and meetings for the day, they could wait. I needed to get my acts together, coupled with the fact that I was running out of time. I needed to clear my head.After a 30-minute respite, I retreated to my bathroom for a refreshing afternoon bath, after which I headed downstairs for lunch. I was going to wait for Alex to join me for lunch. He had called an hour ago. It's been an hour, 30 minutes already and no sign of him. I realized he was running late, annoyed, so I decided to dine alone. Hours passed, and Alex finally showed up armed with all kinds of excuses. I waved at him to indicate I was not ready to hear them, all I wanted to hear was the information he had

It has been three weeks since my suspension, and I was spending most of the time, curled up in my bed, eyes glued to my laptop screen, as I scrolled through social media.I stocked up on snacks and settled in for a marathon session of scrolling and reacting to funny videos of cats, trendy outfits and celebrity gossip.I was still bored! I guess stalking celebrities has no fun in it.I had just reacted to a random post, when a familiar face popped up on my screen- mine. It caught me off guard, I widened my eyes as I read through the post. The account user had just published an article, where I had admitted to the assault on video. I regretted reading through the comment section, with people accusing me of being a monster and a desperate maniac.I consoled myself with the fact that it was just an online drama and nothing more. “Can't they just move on?” I muttered to myself.“It's been three weeks for crying out loud” I scrolled past the article, feeling unease, But then I saw another

Her secretary knocked on the door briefly before entering.“Miss Alexandra, your father will like to see you now” she saidLexi smiled at me and rose from her seat” “I’ll be back in a jiffy” Michael’s POVI was growing impatient with the scene unfolding before me. The girl was hesitating to enter the elevator, was she afraid of me and my men?I tried to sound as friendly as possible, to put her at ease. “Aren’t you coming in?” She mumbled a few words and reluctantly stepped into the elevator. Her fear was palpable, which was not unusual, although most women I encountered would prefer I noticed them or give them attention, but this girl seemed desperate to avoid me. what’s with the whole face cap?I studied her briefly, taking in the way she stood rigidly, facing the door, her shoes tapping nervously on the floor. Her discomfort was almost… intriguing.As I continued to observe her I wondered why she would intentionally make herself uncomfortable, I couldn’t stop looking at her. Ther

“Turn around, I want to see your face”He spoke authoritatively. I prayed for the ground to swallow me, or for me to just vanish into thin air! Anything at all!I remained frozen. Rooted at the spot as my body shook with fear.“Ma’am? We need you to turn around.” Another voice spoke up.I cleared my throat, adopting a slightly masculine tone. “I’m sorry, but you don’t know-”The elevator dinged, the door slid open, we had arrived at the top floor. I immediately hurried out, running as fast as I could, falling multiple times. All that mattered was that he was no longer in sight!I collided with a tall, suited man, sending us both to stumble “Watch it!” he exclaimed, catching his balance.“sorry” I muttered. The man shot me a disapproving glance before moving on.As I reached the secretary’s desk, I took a breath to calm my racing heart. “Good morning ma’am” “Did you book an appointment?” she asked.“Hey, it’s me” I spoke calmly, raising my face cap slightly enough for her to recognize
