Davina.

It felt unreal. Yeah, Tom told me the doctor said his child don't have much time again but notwithstanding, it is too soon.

Unsure, of if the scene unfolding before me was just a dream or it was real, I took a step forward, one that felt like I used all the strength in me to take. Seeing Tom like that weakened me, I could not deny it.

Slowly, I walked up to his child's bed but I gasped in shock, both hands above my mouth.

That was his child's deathbed.

“Tom?” I called out, my voice barely above a whisper.

He didn’t respond. He just stood there; frozen, like a statue built out of grief, despair, devastation. His shoulders were stiff, his eyes distant. But the moment our eyes met, something inside me cracked.

A tear ran down my cheek, then another, until I could barely see him through the blur. That wasn’t the Tom I knew. The Tom I knew was steady, cheerful, composed, the guy who always found a way to stay strong for everyone else. But now… he looked hollow, as if the very li

    Davina pov.I stood there, unable to move due to the shock, but there he was, standing with his right hand in his pocket and a glass of cocktail on the left. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I took my eyes off him and walked past him like he was never there, only to see Jane waiting for me some centimeters behind Sebastian with her hands on her waist.“Lucky you," Jane said with a wry smile as we both made our way to one of the VIP tables. “I would say lucky him rather." She added with a scoff as she gestured towards the entrance and I saw my parents walking in. Lights from cameras, phones, and other gadgets flashed on their faces as reporters tried following them in, but they were stopped by the bouncers at the entrance. “Mr. Charez, how does it feel to finally see your long-lost daughter?!” a reporter called out, cutting through the hum of the party chatter.He stopped in his tracks, turning slowly toward the voice. The question hung in the air for a moment, heavy and unexpected b

    Davina pov“How the hell did you know where I'm staying?" I asked Jane, who was still beaming with a smile as we made our way to my room. “I mean, you disappeared for nearly three years." She pressed her lips and paused before taking my hands in hers. “Even people outside the country know about the Charez family. Yeah, I know your family has a lot of houses here, but I knew that you'd be in this particular one."“Wow, if you say so then." My voice danced with excitement as I threw my hands around her neck. “Would you follow me to the Charity party today?" She walked into the room without giving a response to my question, and I shrugged even though I never knew why she did that. “Hey, you heard me right?" “Yeah!" She screamed as she jumped on the bed, spreading her arms and legs at the same time. “But guess what? I ignored you because I don't think I'd be able to hold back when I see that bastard named Courtney Stewart." Like the speed of light, my mind went straight to Sebastian a

    Davina pov“Miss me?" That word kept ringing in my head as I tried to remember who it was. There was still silence between the person and me as I tried to make out whose voice that was. “I'm not the type to talk to an unknown person for more than three minutes," I said as I took the phone off my ear to look at the number of minutes I'd been on the call. “You've used one minute forty-six seconds already, you are left with one minute and fourteen seconds, so I guess you should use that little time wisely." “Well, giving three minutes to someone unfamiliar is not like you, so I guess you also know my voice sounds familiar, right?" There's no way I'm going to buy this. “You have one minute and three seconds left now," I said in a brisk tone. “One minute now." The voice said and I squinted my eyes after looking at the number again. “Rocky?" I questioned in surprise. “Who the fuck is that?" The familiar questioned in a shocked way tone. More shocked than I was when I called Rocky's

    Davina pov.A day had passed since the sad incident happened at the hospital- the death of Tom's child. I rose to my feet and sat up on the bed; today was the day that a lot of people had been anticipating; a lot of businessmen and women, to be precise. A day in which they would seize the opportunity to meet with top companies, but not all would be successful, that was the bitter truth. With that, my mind went straight to the last name I wanted to remember. I jumped to my feet immediately. I started reminiscing what happened between us and strode out of my room, then the sitting room, where I saw my food in the dining room. My parents were yet to get out of their room I guess.Without wasting time, I started with my food. Irrespective of the fact that I today was the charity party, I still made going to work paramount for every one of my workers so it'd be unwise of me to stay back. Not like I could not do it though, but I choose not to. “Where's my Mom and Dad?" I asked Rose, on

    DavinaI was still standing, more than one minute gone and I was yet to get a reply from Tom.“Are you there now?" I asked again, but the next thing I heard was silent sobs coming from the other end of the phone; it was then it dawned on me that his child didn't make it. “Tom?" I called out again but this time in a louder tone. “Where's he mom?" That was the first thing Elle said to me immediately she came out of the room. “Or can I speak with him now?" I tilted my head slowly before handing the box of chocolate over to her and signaling her to get back into the room. He wasn’t answering, so I ended the call and quickly changed into a black polo and matching jeans before rushing out of the room.“I have somewhere I need to be, Dad,” I said briskly, not bothering to wait for a response as I strode through the sitting room and out the door.Just as I was about to step into the car, I saw Alex approaching me. He was the inquisitive type so I gestured for him to get into the car with

    Sebastian povCourtney came to an abrupt stop before straining her neck to look at Sebastian. It was uncomfortable for her so she had to stay in a position in which he would not have to strain it before she could see him properly. But Sebastian, on the other hand, just kept his eyes on the booklet that was on his table, flipping over to the next page at an interval of fifteen seconds like he was counting it.The door slammed shut, and immediately, he looked up to see Courtney, who had been staring at him the whole time. “Why did you have to hold me back?" She questioned in a confused tone. “I should be busy with research and also looking for companies in which–" “Just shut the fuck up already." He rubbed his temples like he had started to get bored of her long talks already. “Take your seat." He said as he gestured to a seat that was opposite him. After a long stare, she reluctantly made her way to the chair on which Sebastian told her to sit. “So can you tell me why you told me t

    Sebastian pov.Andrew walked into Sebastian's office with some files in his hand, probably the ones he was going to submit. “Here's what you requested for sir." He said as he dropped a file from the lots that were in his hand before he pushed his glasses above his nose bridge. Sebastian turned to him as he slowly closed the gap between them. “Thank you." “Always at your service sir," Andrew said with a slight bow and turned to take his leave.“Wait." Sebastian's voice made him turn back sharply. “Sir." He placed his hand behind him as he watched the latter run his hand through his hair like something was disturbing him. “What is the matter, sir?" Andrew's gaze moved to the floor immediately Sebastian looked at him. “Make an announcement that the board will be having a meeting…" he paused as he checked his wristwatch. “By 10:00 am on dot." The former checked his wristwatch, too, and all of a sudden, his eyes widened. “That's seventeen minutes from now, sir." “Do you want to cre

    Davina pov.Alex stared outside the window as I waited for him to give an answer to the question in which I had just asked him.I guess there were certain things he was yet to know about me. That included the fact that I'm not the type to hear only the good thing attached to something; if there's a consequence, then I think I should also know. “Do you really want to know?" His deep baritone voice brought me back to reality and I nodded with both arms crossed above my chest defensively. “Yeah, I want to." “Fine," he turned to me finally and pulled his hands out of his pockets. “Then I guess I have no other choice but to tell you." “Thanks." “If Sebastian Campbell fails to answer the question in a way that suits the audience, the public to be precise." He paused like he was choosing his words carefully. “Then I'm afraid the finance of Campbell Enterprise would go down the drain." Alex's face was devoid of emotion; his facial expression was not one that could be explained at the mo
