"Ms. White, I think you should take a look at this." Leah came with a newspaper in one hand and her iPad in the other.

It must have been another news or rather, another rumour about the ice cold CEO. I wondered what it was this time around. Other times, it was either my mysterious lover or my secret child. Once, there was a news about how I'd chosen fashion industry because my ex-boyfriend dumped me due to my bad sense of dressing. And they'd published a photo of my ex neighbour who worked at a thrift shop. That guy called me and thanked me a thousand times because apparently it was his dream to have his photo published in newspapers someday.

"What is it this time, Leah? You know I don't care about anything the tabloids have to say about me. As you can see, I'm busy right now. So please keep those things to yourself and keep the reporters away." I said, not bothering to see the news. They were always sprouting nonsense and I was fed up of the reporters trying to get information on to

  • A Promise To Forever   chapter 20

    "I'm going to marry you.""What?" The girl stopped playing with her doll and looked up at the boy in bewilderment."I said I'm going to marry you." The boy repeated in determination, scowling when the girl started to giggle."It's not funny, Minnie. I'm really going to marry you. Now." And without giving her a chance to speak, he pulled the girl to her feet and ran to his house, grabbing her hand.He took her to the huge living room just like he had a few weeks ago. Only this time, his family wasn't the only ones present there. Along with his family, there were his uncles, aunts, cousins and the girl's parents with her newborn little sister sleeping in her father's lap while his brother was looking at him in curiosity, stuffing his toy robot in his mouth.The adults were sharing jokes and laughing when the kids stumbled through the door, the boy looking ready to face war while the girl looked confused. All of them shared amused glances with each other as they silently wondered what ne

    Allison Avery Rivers, daughter of attorneys Henry and Miranda Rivers has always been a little ball of sunshine. Actually, a huge, talking ball of sunshine. She has never been one to stay quiet for long. Hell, she had something to say even when we'd attended the funeral of late Mrs. Davies, an eighties ex librarian back in our college.Granted, she was way too old to be looking after a bunch of unenthusiastic college students who would only step their foot in the library one day before the deadline of their assignments. But the ill managed books in the library along with her shrill voice announcing students to be quiet every thirty minutes was more of a reason for staying away from her periphery. In this case, the library.So, it was a huge relief when sweet Ms. Young took her place. And we would've been able to enjoy this little change if only Allie hadn't decided to share that relief with everyone. On the day of her funeral. Well, needless to day, it's a miracle we got away with just

    Love. Hate. Rage. I called it a triad of intense emotions. Each with potential to be equally toxic. Which is why I've always avoided these emotions as much as possible. Because I knew, indulging myself with any of these emotions would only mean that I would eventually lose myself into them.Sure, I love some people. I love my sister Eva to death. I love my best friend Allie, Jake, and I love my granns. Similarly I hate some things which I've already given a good introduction earlier. Spiders and irresponsibility for instance.But rage was an emotion I have always tried to stay away from. I do get angry at times, in fact, quite a lot of times with my employees, especially my assistant. But rage is something different. It's not just a mere anger at something that goes away after some minutes. I feel that rage is stronger than anger in so many levels. In fact, I've always thought it to be the most dangerous of the triad. So I wanted to avoid it at all costs. And I have been successful at

    "Eve! Eve! Where are you? I need to show you something! Minnie!"The boy came running so fast that he nearly tackled the little girl who was just coming out of her house at the boy's call."Addie! Why are you running like you saw a boogeyman in your room? Oh, wait! Did you see a boogeyman? Don't worry, Addie. I'll protect you!" She stood in front of the boy in a protective stance, trying to shield his taller body with her shorter one."No! There's no boogeyman! And even if there was, you couldn't protect me anyway. You're so small!" The boy huffed, crossing his arms.She scowled at him and crossed her own arms. "I am not small. I am stronger than you because unlike you, I drink milk. You never drink milk so you're weak! Momma told me and auntie Brinny said that too. And I'm not afraid of boogeyman. I can punch his tummy and hit him with my skating board. So I'll protect you, silly!""Okay, okay! Fine! You can protect me but I'm not here because of boogeyman. My dad is back from his tr

    Too drained to argue, I nodded weakly and followed him to his car. He opened the passenger door for me and after making sure I was safe, he walked to the other side and let himself in. He assessed me from my head to toe and inspected my face, probably looking for possible injuries and when he found none, relaxed his posture and smiled sheepishly at me before starting his engine.The whole ride I could feel Adrian's occasional glances at me. I could tell Adrian had questions he wanted to ask but was restraining himself. I was thankful that he didn't ask anything because I wasn't ready to share everything about my life with him just yet. The ride was silent and I closed my eyes, recalling events of the day and hoping against hope that it was just a bad dream I'd wake up from.The feeling of my feet leaving the ground woke me up from my slumber and I opened my eyes to see a sharp jaw above me. The jaw went up to a cute chin, to slightly pink and inviting lips, then to a nice, shapely nos

  • A Promise To Forever   chapter 15

    I've been called a heartless, emotionless, ice cold and many other names over the time and I must say those names didn't really come out of nowhere. Despite what I said about the media earlier, I must say that they were actually accurate on naming me because I was exactly that. At least one of that, for sure. Emotionless.Over the years, I've mastered the art of schooling my emotions and fixing a stoic expression on my face whenever I interact with general population. Meaning anyone out of 'Eves' list of good people'.They're correct about the other things too because I am exactly what they've portrayed. I don't let anyone get close to me except the people from 'Eves' list of good people' which includes my sister Eva, my best friend Allie, Jake, my granns and although I'm surprised and grumpy and ashamed to admit... Adrian. Thankfully he's still in trial phase, though. I don't know when he managed to get himself into the list. The sneaky bastard.Anyways, what I mean to say is, apart
