Just as Edward drove away, the news was fast-trending. ‘’Ex and husband working together’’ “ the past and present” “2 CEOs fighting for love, now where is the mistress?” Kelly swiped to the very last page, she had not been expecting such but the speculations were terrible. She held her phone so hard the screen was threatening to break. ‘’Kelly, the boss wants to have a chat with you” the secretary informed her. Kelly did not want to leave but she had to answer to her boss, she quietly took off her apron. Walking past the huge name engraved on the walls. Laura’s Beauty and Fame, just the name alone was more than obvious but Kelly just sighed before walking in. Kate sat on her seat staring into her phone, there was so much going on in her mind at the moment, and seeing the perpetrator of it all was not making matters any better. ‘’You called Kate” Kelly asked arrogantly pulling out a seat for herself. She had not only been recommended by their best favorite person, but everyone has h
The Termination of Kelly was all over the internet. As she walked home in shame, so much was going through her mind. It has barely been up to a month and everything she had was gradually leaving her life. The news of Edward and Carlson collaborating ranked 1st while hers was just right below it. Everyone was not only shaming her, but now she was not only tagged the famous gold digger but a whopping backstabber. Kelly never thought things would take such a turn, not when she thought everything could be easily wrapped away. She got into the cap she had ordered, she had to put on a mask for her face on every platform, it was now easy for her to be recognized. As she watched the city come to life through the car windows, she wished this was not how it all happened. ‘’If only I had not gone to him that night if only I had kept my distance on the wedding day, everything would be okay” But now her wishes were barely anything, life happened and now she was not only enemies with her best fri
After confirming the remains of her mother, Cassandra could not afford a ceremony and had her incriminated. She couldn't take it anymore and left without locking around. Cassandra could not believe the man who laid ice cold on the funeral home casket was her beloved father. A wide smile on his face, like he knew his daughter would be worried about him. Cassandra walked over, placing a red rose over him. “Daddy, I am not the best of daughters, but you are the very best of fathers. While you gave me everything I could ever want, you not only made sure I would live a life of ease and less worry, but you gave me a mother who loves me down to earth. I am grateful and I want to say I am sorry for not living up to your expectations. If you can hear me... I want you to know I got married to the man you loved the most and I promise never to divorce him. Come what may we are stuck in this union forever” Carlson who was holding her smiled sheepishly like he just won the lottery. As everyone pr
Mrs Williams did like the environment despite it having so many staff unlike her home, it was rather quiet and peaceful. Brandon has been the one taking care of her and attending to her needs while Carlson occupied himself with taking care of his wife. Cassandra slept for a long time, she was tired from all the activities of the previous day. As she slept her phone rang. Carlson had no hope of taking the call but glancing over and seeing the ID, he changed his mind faster than an electronic train. “Why are you calling?” he asked as soon as he took the call, not waiting for the caller to say hello. “Mr. Carlson Cobswell, need I remind you I do have an ongoing project with your wife and I sure can call her to discuss further details' ' Edward replied cockily. His choice of tone was not welcomed by Carlson, not only was he acting arrogantly but he had never liked him. “Everything was said and outlined in the meeting we did have and if Mr Frank Edward still has some doubts or ideas to
Edward had been in the office all day avoiding heading home just yet. He has been watching the video of Kelly at the Salon and that of her being thrown out of the William empire with so much fur. He was looking for ways to win back the love of Cassandra for both of them, but he had not expected her to embarrass herself in such a way. His IG account was stormed with thousands of questions. Everyone was willing to know if he wanted her to still be an item or if they were separated. Edward was so much in thought that he had not heard his phone ring the first time. While it rang again, he glanced over and saw the ID of his boss. “Hello Mr Carlvin'' Edward greeted somely. It's been barely a day since he took over and the workload was not what he had expected. “Why are you not saying anything?” Mr Carlvin questioned. “About?'' Edward asked not sure if he was aware of what his boss was referring to. “Why are you silent and haven't cleared the air on the issue of your relationship with tha
Kelly watched the lips of Edward move countless times but she still could not make out what he was talking about. It felt like she blacked out, she just watched. This was more of a dream than it felt to be real. This man was who she had sacrificed all for his sake, a man she had given up a promising best friend for, a man she laid her life on the line on countless occasions for and here he was saying, she was a woman of no added value. Kelly watched him talk like she was watching from outside her one body. “Is it that bad?” she did not know what else to ask. She did not know how to put how she felt within lines of understanding and words of sense. Everything was just jogging up in her mind, so distant yet so chaotic to understand. “Kelly.. I know I am not right here, but neither are you. Why did you have to push me to the wall? why did you have to make me cut you out of my life? It should never have gotten this far if only you had kept your mouth shut and not caused a ruckus with C
The day was still young and naive, Cassandra slept for so long, that she couldn't remember the last time she had such a good night's sleep ever since her second chance miracle. While everyone was up and about, she was let to stay in bed to get even more strength for the days ahead. “Good morning My lady” Tessa greeted cheerfully, as she exited the bathroom with some clothes in hand. “Good morning to you Tessa, where is Carl?” Cassandra asks climbing down the bed. “Huh” Tessa asked, not sure of who her mistress was asking after. “Your boss?'' Cassandra repeatedly puzzled. “Oh.. well he is with your mother and Brandon, they are in his home office” Cassandra could only sigh, never having met someone as naive yet so troublesome as Tessa. A woman of physical strength with the mouth of a squirrel. Always talking and chirping like a morning bird.“ My lady, why do you call boss Carl? The last person I heard called him who ended up missing for years and no one had heard or seen her '' That
Every guard and servant was up and about with their daily chores. Brandon and the others were more busy than usual. “Make sure everything is put in the car, I don't want Mrs. Laura leaving any of her important belongings behind,” Brandon tells the others. Laura was leaving, her treatment was on the line and she had to return quickly. They had to wake up extra early as her flight was scheduled for the early hours of dawn. Cassandra had too much to do, while she was on the phone with the nurses over at the hospital, she was still not happy with Laura’s refusal to take a personal nurse to assist her with everything. “I know the baby, but I can take care of myself. It is not a new sickness and I know better '' Laura turned to Cassandra who held on to the phone sadly. She did not want her to leave, but deep down both of them understood she had to go. “I promise to take care of myself if that would keep your mind at ease, '' Laura promised. Cassandra could only smile and hug her bonus mot
