Chapter 52

Alia's pov

“I’m so glad I’m finally back to doing business deals,” I said to Harry on the phone as I drove to my appointment, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel.

“I can hear the excitement in your voice, sunshine.”

“I bet you can” I giggled softly

“ But I don’t know why the owner suddenly decided not to be anonymous. It’s weird to me though.”

“I’m sure it’s nothing, Harry. Mr. Philip said the CEO needed to speak to me one-on-one.” I shrugged lightly even though h

  • After The Vows   A minute too late

    Chapter 55Drew's pov I had all my cards played out during my last meeting with Alia. Now all I had to do was wait for her decision. But waiting wasn’t as easy as I thought. From the moment she left my office yesterday, the day went by more slowly than usual. And after sending her that email, I kept refreshing my inbox over and over again, but she hadn’t responded.I stood up from my office chair and rested against the edge of the table, crossing my legs and staring at nothing in particular. The office was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. I looked at the clock on the wall, a few minutes for the meeting to start and Alia still wasn’t here.A knock sounded on the door.I felt a sigh of relief leave my chest.She must be the one.“Come in,” I replied instantly.The door opened.It was my secretary.The relief disappeared and was replaced with disappointment.“Yes?” I answered harshly.“Sir, I just came to remind you of the meeting. It’s starting now.”“I’m aware of

  • After The Vows   Facing my fears

    Chapter 54I’ll give you the money,” Harry blurted out.I froze.Harry had been waiting for me with a congratulatory note and flowers, with a big smile on his face when I got home. But the moment I shared the news with him, the smile disappeared. Shock settled on his face, and ever since then he had been trying to think of ways I could get through this.But this offer? That wasn’t a solution I thought he would come up with.“I can’t take it, Harry.” I stood up forcefully. I was becoming restless. I paced around the room.“Alia, trust me, that’s the only option you have now. And I don’t mind giving you the money. That is way better than you having to work with that man.”“You don’t understand, Harry.” I turned to him. “That money is worth a lot. It’s even worth more than half my company.”“I know,” he said firmly, running a frustrated hand through his hair. “But I won’t just sit and do nothing while your company is at stake. It might be a lot of money, but I honestly don’t mind.”“I ca

  • After The Vows   Dead end

    Chapter 53I walked into that building confident. Now I’m walking out bound to the last man I ever wanted to work with.I opened my car door forcefully and threw my bag and files into the backseat. The files scattered before landing messily on the chair.“Shit… shit…” I bent my head against the steering wheel, hitting it repeatedly. The dull sound echoed inside the car.The excitement I had felt this morning was completely gone. Right now, I didn’t even know what I was feeling, anger, frustration, or maybe helplessness. It all mixed together until I could barely breathe.“Unbelievable,” I muttered, dragging in a sharp breath as I slowly raised my head.My reflection in the windshield looked nothing like the confident woman who had walked in earlier. My hair was scattered around my face, my mascara slightly smudged beneath my eyes.I brushed my hair back.I need to call my lawyer. There has to be a way out. I’ve worked so hard to make sure Drew remains in the past. I can’t go back down

Anyways, just let me know if anything comes up. I’m sure you will nail it as always.”“I hope so. Alright, I’ll call you after the meeting. Take care.”“You too, Lia.”The call ended.Everything looked beautiful this morning — the sky, the air but I knew the real source of my joy. I had missed rushing to go to work, sitting in the office brainstorming ideas, meeting clients, and executing projects. I straightened in my seat, feeling that familiar spark ret

  • After The Vows   My last option

    Chapter 51 Drew's povEven if I have a fucking gun to my head, don’t help.Those were Alia’s words.She would rather choose death than get any help from me. That’s how much she resents me. The memory of her voice made my blood run cold.Will her knowing about the possibility of me being the kids’ father change that?Or will it make her hate me even more?Those questions kept replaying in my head, even hours after the confrontation. I leaned back in my chair, staring blankly at nothing, but all I could see was her face.I was this close to telling Alia—this close. No interruptions from anyone, not even Harry.When she asked me that question, the words almost slipped out. I might be your kids’ father.For a second, I imagined saying it. Imagined the look on her face—the shock, the disbelief, and rage she will show.I swallowed hard. I wasn’t a coward; I had never been. But I couldn't act impulsively. I needed to be calculative.Dropping that kind of bomb on her while she was already fr

    Chapter 50“Drew!” I yelled the moment I caught sight of him.The sound of my voice came out louder than I intended.He dismissed the nurse with a nod before turning to face me.“Wasn’t expecting to see you here, Alia.” He stood up, sliding the envelope into his pocket, his expression unreadable. “How are you?”Like he didn’t already know.I stepped closer. “Don’t do that.” I tightened my fists, feeling my nails press into my hands.“Do what?” He raised his eyebrow.I hated how calm he looked. It just made me angrier.“Don’t play dumb with me, Drew. You know exactly what I’m talking about.” I pointed at him, speaking through clenched teeth. I could feel the heat rising in my chest.His jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t really react. “We’ll talk some other time, Alia.” He turned his back to walk away.I moved right in front of him. “Drew, you’re not leaving here until you answer my question. Seems all the words I’ve been telling you have been falling on deaf ears. Why are you allow
