Davina

The weekend passed in a blur of quiet moments and restless anticipation.

With Mom and Dad away on a trip and Alex absent- to my relief, the house had been eerily silent. I welcomed the solitude, using it to sharpen my thoughts, to plan every step of what was to come.

Monday arrived with an unshakable energy buzzing beneath my skin. Today was the day. Today, Lawrence King would finally get what was coming to him.

I arrived at the office before dawn, stepping into the stillness of the empty building. The fluorescent lights overhead flickered to life, humming softly as I made my way to my desk. The scent of freshly brewed coffee from the break room lingered in the air, mingling with the crispness of the morning.

I sat, fingers drumming against the polished wood, my mind whirring as I waited. The anticipation curled around me, coiling tighter with every passing minute.

Slowly, the office began to stir. Employees trickled in, their footsteps echoing in the quiet space, their murmure

    Davina pov“Who's that?” Alex questioned with a concerned look on his face and it seemed like he was now furious due to the way I talked to him earlier. No one could talk to Alex that way, and from the way he communicates with his dad, you will know he's not someone that his dad yells at. “Who?” He asked again, but I only looked at him for a moment before turning back to the phone. I swiped it to the right, and the call connected. “Trust me, the fact that you know your children now does not mean you can have a chance in their lives,” I said to him with anger in my voice. “The same goes for mine too.”“I'm sorry, but that's not what I was even going to say,” Sebastian muttered shakily, and I only folded my hands above my chest. “Then what was the meaningless thing you were going to say?” After all, almost everything he had been saying for some days now had been gibberish. “Why did you hide it from me?” He asked and I furrowed an eyebrow even though he could not see me. “For three

    Sebastian povSebastian walked in the streets with his hands in his pocket and all of a sudden, he came to a halt and faced the sky. From the look he had on his face, you could tell that he was regretting something. How could he not have known all this while? He exhaled sharply and walked into his car after one more glance at Alex's company.After some minutes drive, he got to his company, and irrespective of the fact that he seemed confused, he had a smile on his face.“Good morning, sir,” Andrew walked up to him with a file in his hands, and the former smiled at him with his hands in his pocket as they both walked down the hallway and shortly afterward, they were at Sebastian's office. “What's that?” He asked Andrew who gave him a file and stood at the extreme end of the table with his hands behind him.Sebastian looked at it, and from the way his eyes moved, you could tell that he was going through what seemed to be the important details. “One hour from now?” He asked and his e

    Davina povI shut my eyes immediately. Alex said that, and my body froze, just like time stood still. A big mistake, one he should never have made. I clenched my fists beside me and sucked the air in anger before letting it out and I opened my eyes with a smile. A deadly smile that he noticed but without uttering a word, I turned my back on him and walked towards the building but he was faster. He held my hand but quickly let go after I gave him a deadly side-eye. “You should listen to me,” he said with a hint of regret playing in his voice, but I showed no interest, and he walked to my front. “For real, just listen to what I've to say and after that, you can walk away from me or do whatever you want.” “What I want is obvious to not just you, but it's obvious to both of us.” My voice was barely above a whisper but it was laced with venom. “Isn't it?” The look on Alex's face softened each time I looked at it, but at the moment, there was only one thing that was constant, but it w

    Davina pov“What's wrong here?” My voice made the two of them break the eye contact that they made since forever, but it was only for a short period of time since they turned toward one another again.“Do you by any chance, know him?” I asked Jane who shook her head.“I don't know yet,” her voice was barely audible and she turned to me. “But I have this feeling that he's the one.”Tom leaned on the wall with both of his hands in his pocket. “Honestly, I don't know her either; I mean, the first time I saw her was on Friday, so how do you expect me to know her?” My gaze drifted to his neck, where I instinctively sought out the pulse point but to my surprise, it beat steadily, a normal rhythm that belied any signs of deception. If he was lying, I expected his pulse would be racing, but it seemed calm and controlled. I wondered if the distance between us was masking any subtle signs, or if he was just a professional when it comes to telling lies. “Tell me you're not lying,” I voiced o

    Sebastian pov“What was your offense?” Alex said to Sebastian who had just taken his seat. “That made her dislike you this way." He added with his hands clasped together below his chin. “What do you mean by that?” Sebastian questioned with an arched eyebrow. “And who are you talking about?”Alex took a minute to study the look on the face of Sebastian, who was still waiting for an answer from him irrespective of the fact that Alex demanded one first. “You guys have something in common,” Alex finally spoke up and the latter seemed to be interested. “Playing dumb is one of you guys' talents right?" Sebastian, on the other hand, just scoffed. “I'd be lying if I said I know what you are talking about for real,” his words tumbled out in a rush and he did not take his eyes off Alex the whole time, not until he was done with what he was saying. “And as always, I'd act like I don't know you guys are lying," he waved his hand and threw his phone on the table. “How bad did you treat Davina?

    Davina povImmediately Jane asked that question, I froze, with my hands mid-air but she just arched an eyebrow. “It’s just a question though,” she stated with a nonchalant shrug. “And just like as we both know, not all questions deserve to be answered.”But even after she continued what she was doing, I could not take my eyes off her. “You are joking right?” I asked with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. “Like you don't mean it right?”Jane turned to me with a smirk, her eyes narrowing as they locked onto mine. “It’s just a question,” she said casually, “but I swear there’s a spark between you two.”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “God, you've been here for like two days and you’re already playing matchmaker? Seriously?”She shrugged, unbothered. “I asked if you wanted to call him, and you said yes without even blinking.” She paused, clearly watching my reaction like a hawk. “Tell me that is not suspicious.”“I don't remember me saying anything like I want to call him,” I objected with my
