BE WITH ME: with love or hatred

Elegant women and men already sat down on their chairs, the circle table holding documents and bottles of water for each of the attendees. Everyone was prepared for the meeting Mr. Slimth was about to give and, as always, the same chair by his side was empty. It was unbelievable! The meeting must have started 85 seconds ago. But who was Damien Slimth to measure time as he would always do? Well, Damien Slimth was the kind of man who thought when his employees arrived to that company, asking for the opportunity to work for him what they meant to ask was the opportunity to serve and please with their lives on his whims. Even if we talk about the woman he had seen turn into a woman.Suddenly, the big door of the sale opened. Everyone went into silence.The host had arrived. Late, but she had arrived. “Once again late, why should I even say so?” Damien said, looking at the woman of the enormous glasses and the ponytail who had arrived.Amber couldn’t do anything else but bow her head to

Undoing the knot of his tie, Damien got out of his black car. It was 8 in the morning and he hadn’t slept very well after the fun he had with Nancy, just a simple secretary who ended up tangling in her finger.Everyone was waiting for him. The bodyguards at the entrance of the house were ready to be alerted by the presence of any of the two most important figures in that house.Yes, it seemed lie the house had been all alone since last night.“Good morning, Mr. Slimth.” One of the men greeted.“Where did you park the car Amber brought last night?” He asked, without looking at them.No one knew how to answer him. Amber hadn’t arrived home.“I asked you something!” He raised his crisp voice.“I’m sorry, Mr. Slimth but Miss. Amber hadn’t arrived home since yesterday.”Damien stooped and turned around to see them. “What did you say?”Walking back and forth in his office, Damien couldn’t help but worry about Amber.How come she hadn’t arrived home? How come she hadn’t slept there? Where th

With that idea in mind, Amber got out of the house, taking the keys of her car. The happiness printed on her face was unable to hide. She was pregnant with the most powerful CEO’s baby. It may be strange when they let people know she was pregnant with Damien’s baby knowing Amber and Damien were raised as siblings but in the end of the day, people could talk behind their backs as much as they wanted.Damien had taken care of her. That was her stronger feeling.When she arrived at the company, everyone looked at her like she was a ghost. Everyone knew she had called in sick. Damien let them know before the meeting of that morning started. They had to cover the work of that woman, something that no one agreed with. He seemed to have so many considerations with her and of course since she was like his sister.Amber continued her way through the aisles, Miriam and all the other secretaries looked at her with hate. They couldn’t believe a woman like her could be close to him, if only

Waiting for Mr. Slimth in the meeting room where he had indicated him to stay, Nancy and her father were talking about what they were expecting from Damien.Nancy had changed so much. When Damien used her he didn’t expect she would be hiding a terrible secret. Nancy, among all the secretaries, night dancers and all women he could sleep with, Nancy ended up being the daughter of one of the shareholders of that company.When she decided she would make him regret his words, she was not kidding.“What do you want me to do, my little princess?” Mr. Hansen asked.Nancy was his only girl. Needless to say how overprotected he was. Needless to say he was willing to do anything to please his daughter. “I just want to marry him, I just want to be his wife, why is it so difficult?”“My baby, you’re such a young lady who shouldn’t be thinking about marriage and not with a man like him. He’s such an old man.”“Hahaha, don’t be like this, daddy.”“I can’t imagine my daughter being married to a m

“Don’t you want me to accompany you?” Aaron asked with his mouth filled with food, after having heard she was heading out with her friend to visit her father at the cemetery.At that moment Amber realized she had been talking with her friend without even making Aaron part of their conversation.The problem with Amber wasn't that she was an ungrateful woman who just cared about her and her daughter, the problem with Amber was she had suffered for so long, hiding the love she felt for Damien that the least she wanted to do was to feel in debt with a man. She knew herself very well. As soon as she opened her heart to a man it was a matter of time for her to fall in love with someone who will surely let her fall down.“Oh! It’s not necessary, Aaron. Thank you.” She smiled.Julie felt uncomfortable enough to say the more she could do was to move her eyes from Amber to Aaron. They were sharing the table, Julie had enough time to study the man who had helped her friend all along.“Aunt, can
