That night, he began thinking about Rachel.He remembered how he treated her like trash, always shouting at her, giving her most of the company work he can’t do and blaming her for things she knew nothing about. Now, she is the CEO of Helix Conglomerate, the most powerful company in the country, and worse of it all, he just discovered that she is married to Harris Davis.“If I had just treated her right,” he muttered, shaking his head. “I would have been eating and spending money right now without doing anything while she runs the business”Then, as if someone had just punched him in the chest, another bitter memory hit him.What made everything worse for Matthew was that the business trip he had pinned all his hopes on completely failed.When he got the call from Davis Corporation about the collapse, he was in disbelief. He had worked so hard and spent so much. He didn’t waste time and rushed straight to the project site.But what he met there shook him to his core.The building h
Matthew sat in his living room with dull and bloodshot eyes as he stared at the broken bottles scattered across the floor.The stench of alcohol filled the air as his clothes were soaked and drenched with liquor. Staring at this, he wore a mocking look as he lifted another half empty bottle, and kept it back on the floor.Ever since he lost everything, drinking had become his only hobby. The memories of his downfall were a nightmare for him which kept hunting him every now and then.. It felt like just yesterday when he had it all, his company and influence. But now, all he had was nothing.His company was gone, his pride and dignity were shattered. And worst of all, he was now alone.A few months ago, when he traveled out of the country to negotiate directly with his suppliers, Cherry had begged to come along. Foolishly, because of the great sex she gives, he agreed. Linda, who was also feeling down, had pleaded to go with him too. But he looked her in the eye and told her he di
During his drive to the restaurant , he had already called Rachel’s personal chef and placed the order.He knew she was hungry, so he didn't want to waste time in the restaurant.Now the chef was preparing the food, all he had to do was to wait.Without drawing much attention, Harris headed straight to a private VIP room and sat on the plush sofa with his legs crossed.Even though he was putting on a calm look, he was actually worried about leaving Rachel alone in the hospital. He thought of calling his mother to return and stay with her, but after some hesitation, he sighed and decided against it. Rachel was strong. And she hated being fussed over too much.About fifteen minutes later, there was a gentle knock at the door.Harris stared at the door as it opened quietly and Rachel’s private chef walked in with a paper bag in hand, which was carefully sealed.With a respectful smile on his face, the chef said, “Please greet madam for me.” After that he handed him the paper bag.Harris
Rachel and Harris were finally alone in the private hospital room as everyone had gone to their respective places.Rachel, who was resting her head on Harris’s chest, sighed heavily and pouted her lips in frustration.And Harris, who was the attentive and protective husband, noticed it immediately. He glanced down at her and asked with a gentle voice, “What is it, babe?”Hearing this, Rachel lifted her head slightly and stared at him, then she raised her brows and said with a slightly harsh voice,“I told you I’m hungry, but I still haven’t gotten any food”. Harris gulped his saliva and gave a guilty smile as he scratched the back of his head.Giving her a sheepish smile, he muttered softly, “Right babe, sorry I forgot.”“Obviously you did ,” she rolled her eyes at him and muttered under her breath.“Alright, babe, enough of the sulking. I will order something right away.” He said and grabbed his phone which was the table close to him.But just before he could start ordering, Rachel
Richard, who had been seated next to Harris, opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Freda and Olivia burst into louder cries, as their sobs echoed in the room.Everyone was stunned with their outburst.“Damn, these pregnancy hormones,” Richard muttered under his breath and quickly got up as he walked toward Olivia, wrapping her gently in his arms.“Sweetheart, don’t cry. Rachel is okay, she’s just a bit stressed out,” he whispered softly and patted her shoulder slightly to comfort her.Olivia looked up at him with tear filled eyes and hiccuped,“Are you… sure?” She asked in a stammering voice.Richard nodded with a soft smile. “Yes, sweetheart, I’m sure. She just needs rest.” He said with an assuring voice.Hearing that Rachel was fine, Olivia slowly calmed down. Her sobs became sniffles, and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.Meanwhile, Hilary was doing the same for Freda, rubbing her back and whispering reassurances.Eventually, the room quieted down
Shortly after, the door to the emergency room opened, and the nurses wheeled Rachel out on a hospital bed. She was still unconscious and her face was still looking pale and tired.As soon as they came out, Harris was the first person to move.He rushed to her side immediately and when he saw her look, his heart ached.Richard stood frozen for a moment, he then clenched his fists tightly as he continued looking at her with a worried look. On the other hand, Mr. Jones and Mr. Davis also stood up quickly, their faces filled with concern.The doctor didn’t waste time listening to Harris for instructions, he turned to the nurse and said, “Take her to a private room.”He had already recognized who they were, and he knew this wasn’t just any patient.Everyone followed behind as Rachel was carefully wheeled into a spacious, quiet private room. Once they were inside, the nurse adjusted the IV and checked her vitals. She wanted to make sure that she was ok and stable.Seeing the nod on the
