Elvis povJust then my phone rang, and my frustration skyrocketed. I glanced at the caller ID, and my eyes narrowed at the name flashing on the screen 'Harriet'. 'I'm sincerely not in the mood for her pretentiousness'it kept ringing, making me increasingly annoyed."What?" I asked coldly, my tone icy. Harriet hesitated, clearly sensing my frustration. "uhmm..uhm, did i disturb your work?" she asked innocently. i calmed down, she isn't the cause of my frustration while transferring it to her?. "I'm sorry for the way i sounded, work stress”"I understand brother Elvis, I am at your house but you are not back yet, I brought your favorite."" Yeah, I'm busy, " I said, fabricating a convenient excuse." I went for a business meeting." The lie rolled off my tongue effortlessly, and I hope Harriet buys that.

Elvis POV As she sat beside me, I couldn't help but give her a glance. She looked more beautiful than I can remember, in good shape and fairer, the emotions swirling inside me are unexplainable. I promised Harriet that I will marry her, but I can't seem to move on from her. Despite all my efforts, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I still want her. i missed her, her innocent looks, her gentleness. blocking her car from moving, manipulating her into my own vehicle, it all seemed so irrational. There's no tangible reason for doing that, except for the fact that I don't want her out of my sight again after so many years. I can't bear the thought of it. so i had to come up with the business deal she came back for, hopefully that will stall her.Then I noticed her gaze on my hands, specifically my ring finger. I followed her gaze, curious about what she was looking at, then it drew on me that she was looking for a ring. i watched as her eyes stayed on my finger, with a look of cur

Tessa's povAs I settled into the taxi, a smile still plastered on my face due to my daughter's cheerful voice. I buckled my seatbelt while still giggling with my daughter.just as we were about to pick up speed, a sharp screech pierced the air, making me jolt, I looked out of the window to see what had caused the commotion.“Mamma, are you alright?" my daughter asked, noticing my slight action."Hold on, baby, Mummy will call back soon," I said, before quickly ending the call. I stepped out of the taxi, my eyes scanning the scene before me, still in shock.The taxi driver was cursing under his breath, frustrated. My gaze landed on the two Bentley cars standing in front of us, their sleek designs and tinted windows radiant in the sunlight. The drivers of the Bentleys didn't bother to come out or open the rearview mirrors, seemingly indifferent to our presence.Suddenly, the second car honked, and the rearview mirror opened, revealing Elvis's handsome face. My heart skipped a beat a

Tessa's POV “no…no..no, this can't be real” I blinked rapidly, wondering if I was seeing things. But no, he was still there, sitting right there with a smirk on his face. I felt like the ground should open and swallow me. My eyes scanned the room frantically, searching for somewhere far from him to sit. but i guess luck wasn't on my side today, every seat was taken, except for one – directly facing Elvis. I hesitated, before walking towards the seat and sitting. I felt like I was daydreaming, with Elvis's piercing gaze watching my every move. As I sat down, I tried to compose myself, reminding myself that I had a purpose for being here. I would finish what I came for and leave peacefully, without making a scene. But it was hard to focus with Elvis sitting across from me, not intending to divert his gaze. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I told myself. I would finish my task and leave, without letting Elvis's presence get the better of me. But as I glance
