Yvette's POV

A few days had passed with me being an official member of the board and no, Yolanda made everything so easy. The press didn't show up so I guessed the idea for a press conference had been cancelled or better still shifted.

Also, as everyone else including Knox had said, I didn't have to be always present. Regardless, I couldn't completely keep my distance. Clara worked while I was busy with a few proposals and it was the first time she had shown excitement over something.

    Yvette's POVThings eased up a bit on hearing what the whole change was actually about. Still, I couldn't quiet the fear that crept in every now and then. More like I didn't know what to do with it.I had called Dave to pick me up before the three hours I had to stay in my office and somehow, his presence made me feel more uneasy."Are you going to stop being creepy already? I'm going through a lot mentally and I don't need more of Knox," I complained, watching him from the rear-view mirror.I heard him chuckle slightly before meeting my gaze."Sure.""Better. Now, focus on the drive."He reluctantly returned his gaze to the road, setting me free from the second most intense gaze I had had to endure until now.When we arrived at the garage, he stole a quick glance at me before looking away."Hey!""What's the matter?""Why do you keep staring at me?" I tried to articulate my discomfort in a less cringey way, but it failed. He grimaced anyway. "I catch you almost all the time so don't

You've been offered an executive position in The House of Luther."I blinked.How?When did I even join the company?Was it me or had she gotten something wrong?"Let me see," I ordered while she moved to my side to show me the letter on her tablet.She didn't lie.…But how?"Please let me know your thoughts on it and I'll write back to the company immediately. Meanwhile, congratulations on your first big leap!"The way she said it made it look like an impossible tas

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire (+18)   Chapter 058

    Yvette's POVI dozed off even before I could begin to process what had happened. For the first time, I grieved the gap in my memory severely because from everything I could remember, there was nothing for him to be sorry about, yet if I had heard correctly, he had apologised.Mira was cleaning by the time I woke up and unlike the few days that had passed, she smiled at me the moment she noticed that I was awake."Good morning, Miss Yvette.""Good morning, Mira," I yawned, sitting up on my bed.I blinked a few times while making sure there was nothing missing in my memory from last night."Is something wrong?"I gazed towards the window, letting my face absorb the rays while Mira walked closer to me."Everything is fine," I assured her. "Apart from not being able to recall a crucial moment of my life, I have a very important event coming up tomorrow and I want to be ready for it.""What is that?""Knox will let you know himself."She scoffed in response then returned to the vanity she

    Yvette's POVAfter deciding that Mira would look out for me, she did until it was dark. We were so close to giving up after my dinner, but she came back shortly after leaving with the tray of food in her hands."Did something happen?""No," she shook her head, looking more eager than scared.I jumped from my bed in response, running towards the window for a clue."It's nothing to get worked up over. Knox is back… I just think he is a little pissed though.""Did something happen?""I honestly don't know. Just be careful if you insist on going to see him tonight, or better still, you can go tomorrow when he is calm and will be more responsive to you."I let out a sigh while pondering on her words. All she said made sense but there was something else to it — she wasn't sure of his current state, and I doubted he would be better soon after everything that had happened.I put my hands over my waist and walked to my bed."It's fine. I'll handle the rest from here," I told her.She looked at

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire (+18)   Chapter 056

    Yvette's POVI spent the next day sobbing and begging, but the outcome remained the same — I was snubbed in the very worst way. I had lost hope waiting for Mira, and Dave? Well, there had never been a time he seemed to care except when I had to prepare to meet the members of the board.My headache never really had time to heal, so I left my room… away from the four walls that made me small and anxious. I stopped by the library to get a book first, before I made my way to the garden.The pool not so far from it called my name, though, but I really didn't want to add fuel to the fire. I stayed put in a hidden corner, always glancing behind me to be sure not even Knox could see me from his room.Hours passed with me feeling slightly alive… and the book by Colleen Hoover… I wouldn't lie, she worsened my emotional state in the best way. I could now cry and reflect deeply on everything. Knox was angry and he had the right to be. I was stupid and now I was paying the price. Christopher was a

  • Bargain: An Object of Desire (+18)   Chapter 055

    Yvette's POVI didn't quite recall taking the elevator to my room nor lying on my bed, but I woke up to see a version of Mira I had never actually seen before. Beside her was the doctor as well as Dave. I let him do his job without bothering to be curious. I had lost my voice and the will to sound defensive when everything I said only made me sound stupid or deluded.However, seeing Knox walk into the room with dark circles around his eyes and an unreadable expression on his face, my body suddenly moved in an attempt to gain his attention. Mira pulled me back down immediately, while he spoke with the doctor as though I wasn't even in the room with them."It's okay," she whispered, pulling the covers over me.I clutched the hem of the fabric tightly as I watched Knox continue to ignore me until he saw the doctor off.I swallowed hard, biting down the sob that almost escaped my lips."I want to be alone," I announced to no one specifically.Dave was the first to leave, then Mira. She st

    Yvette's POVI kept my gaze glued to the ground until I summoned up enough courage to look at him. Besides anger was the look of disgust I was sure I had towards him the first time he made mention of the tests. I couldn't help but wonder how my mum would react to all of this if a stranger had this

    Knox's POV Leaving her room before more damage could be done, never rid me of the effect of her previous question. I wasn't thinking straight. I had told her that she was deluding herself and that somehow, she needed saving. Literally, she did. However, I could be the one in need of that ‘saving

Turns out that Knox had already ordered some things for me and they had to confirm that whatever they were was a perfect fit.With that, Dave was gone
