LOGINJune“That was rude of you. I won’t let you disrespect June in that manner. She’s your superior and you have to respect her.” Zane chimed in and I was so happy.“What do you want?” He asked and she looked at me as if she wanted me to step out. That was so annoying but I still didn’t react, I just looked at Zane and questioned him with my look.“She’s not leaving, you can tell me whatever it is.” He said and I loved his stern his voice was.“Are you sure? This is quite sensitive.” Sonia rerorted and he nodded.“I’m pregnant, sir.” She let out and I scoffed.“And how is that any of his business? Why are you here announcing your pregnancy when you should be telling the father? Or is it Zane who fucked and got you pregnant?” I fired at her while she smiled.“Since you’re so desperate to know, Mr Zane fucked and got me pregnant so yeah, just like you said, I’m here announcing my pregnancy to its father!” She fired back at me.I felt my heart tighten immediately and I even felt dizzy too. T
June“What?” Zane let out with a smile, thinking I was joking so I made sure not to smile back at him.“Are you being serious right now?” He asked when he saw my straight face, and I nodded.“No, that’s not possible. Don’t tell me you’re drunk,” he chimed in, smiling again.I’d had enough of that so I moved closer to him and held his hand while looking straight in his eyes.“I’m being serious, Zane. Why can’t you marry me or why don’t you want to? You said it was because of Lyra but she’s out of the picture now and we both know there’s connection between us. I love you so much, Zane. Even more than I can ever be able to describe. I love you so much and I want you. I know you feel the same way so what’s stopping us. Let’s go right now and get married.” I let out while he just stood there, looking at me like I wasn’t the same person.“What’s happening right now? You’re being weird. I mean, we don’t even have any pending conversation about marriage or even dating, and all of a sudden, yo
June“How’s the food daddy?” I quizzed as I stared at my dad who was busy eating. I made the food and watching him gobble it all up was so satisfying. “It’s really delicious, I love it, did you make it?” He asked and I nodded proudly. I don’t cook so often but the few times that I do, I make sure I pour all my heart into it and it makes me happy when people enjoy it.“Wow, you did great, my love. If you ever feel like opening a restaurant, let me know. I’d like to invest in your business.” He teased and we burst into laughter.“I promise to hold you to your words.” I replied.“Ohh so you’re not going to ask if I enjoy the food? You’re only concerned about your dad’s validation?” My mom suddenly chimed in and I playfully rolled my eyes.“Oh please mom, you enjoy every meal.” I teased and she gasped, pretending my words were an attack on her person. “My heart is so broken right now, I can’t believe my own child would ever say such to me.” She let out and we all laughed it off.“Ohh t
VanceI had no idea someone was in the elevator when I rushed in. I was running late for a meeting and that was all I had in my mind until I stepped in and saw the beautiful lady standing in there. I was captivated instantly and that pushed me to want to start a conversation with her. But before I could, I felt that usual wave of weakness hit me so I kept mute and just went behind her. I rested on the wall and tried to remain calm. Well, my body decided to embarrass me and the inevitable happened. I lost my balance and passed out. By the time I opened my eyes, I saw her on her knees beside me, trying to steady me. I could see the sincere worry and panic on her face, and that just did something to me. I knew it. I had fallen deeply in love with her.But I didn’t even know her name, I wasn’t even sure she wasn’t going to run to the blogs and blow this out of proportion. “CEO Maison Vance passed out in the elevator” The news would sell really well and my rivals would have a feast.
Lyra“Vance! Vance!! Vance!!!” I kept calling out his name while trying to get him up but he was too heavy for me. When he wouldn’t come back, I stood up and made to get help. I was screaming on top of my lungs and I expected my dad to have heard and rushed to my rescue. He was probably sleeping so I wanted to get him so he could help get Vance to the hospital. I was already panicking and my steps were so shaky that I almost fell. I hadn’t taken more than two steps when I suddenly heard faint sound from behind. I turned back in a hurry and I saw Vance was back to consciousness. He was barely hanging on though, but it was so much better. I would have been in a huge trouble if he had died in front of my house. Who would have believed any I say? They wouldn’t even listen to whatever I have to say. His family would tear me apart. “Are you okay?” I asked as I crouched to his level and tried to help him sit up.“I feel better,” he managed to say but I could see he wasn’t any bit better
LyraI froze on the spot and couldn’t say a word even even when I jerked back to myself. I never knew he could be that cold. I’ve had the chance to be in his space three times now and each time, he was coolheaded. Maybe if I had know he had this other side, I wouldn’t have stormed into his office to confront him without a plan.“That was wrong of you actually. You shouldn’t be cronfromting your boss in a disrespectful way. I wouldn’t tolerate it too, and I’m sure you wouldn’t as well.” My dad let out after I narrated the whole thing to him.“I know right, it was after I left his office that I thought about it and realized I was wrong. But there was nothing I could do. He already asked me to make a choice. I really wish he handled things differently because I really don’t see myself being his personal assistant. I want to use channel my creativity and get to explore.” I replied.“You know you don’t have to go back there, right? You can just come back to the company, it’s thriving now a
Lyra"Right here," a deep, familiar voice sounded from behind while I stiffened. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. His voice and the look on Rosemary’s face already gave it away. “Mom, dad. I’m sorry I’m late, I was on a call with the London office.” He chimed in while I finally tur
Lyra Just a week ago, the stack of hundreds had felt like a slap in the face when they hit the bed but now, they were my lifesaver. I looked up and saw my Birkin bag sitting pretty by the dresser. Of course, it looked out of place, it’s the only luxury I have left of my former life. I’ve spent t
ZaneThe pounding in my head became so unbearable as I made my way out of the room. The memories from last night started to come back slowly. I remember going to the club to celebrate the new Miller acquisition. It’s a multi-billion dollar deal that had so many companies running around trying to ge
LyraI froze as I stared at my phone. I couldn’t believe what was on the screen, but the notifications continued rushing in. “Andrew Vane accused of $900m embezzlement.”My hands started shaking when I saw people calling for my father’s head. They wouldn’t even give him the benefit of the doubt. T
