NORMANI.

Today was my first official day as CEO of Fluxx Innovation, and it excited me. I int brought back memories from before I met George. When I worked in my father’s company, the power and challenges that came with that, this place reminded me of it.

The moment I stepped through those glass doors, the weight of power settled over me like a tailored coat. It didn’t feel foreign because I was once like this and I stripped off that tailored coat for love. Now I was back and I wouldn't let it happen again.

Some of the staff, new and old, watched me with curious eyes. They must be wondering how I got here.

Estelle didn’t come with me today. She was stationed at one of my father’s companies and she needed to meet up with work over there. Regardless I had to brace myself for this journey.

But then, I wondered why Shawn did this for me.

Could he have known that I was the princess of Scotland? No. That couldn’t be it.

If he had, he would have acted differently, more carefully, maybe even

    NORMANI.I watched the shock on their faces, none of it surprised me. This was what I wanted. I planned this, orchestrated it and dreamt about it. It was merely, the beginning, and I hadn't even started yet. I was barely revealing the truth to them, making them see things for what they were.I sat there, watching, my smile hidden behind the rim of my glass. The satisfaction was intoxicating. This was what I came for. This was the justice they thought I would never have. And as Becky stumbled over her words before the reporters, her hands trembled in the air; all I did was watch with comfort. The reporters waited for answers, for her words but she had nothing to give.She looked at her mother-in-law with shock, surprised to see her here. The hurt in George’s mom's eyes felt so satisfying to watch. I thought I was a person of forgiveness but no, I realised that I wasn't. I was a person of acceptance. I accepted their bullshit and never questioned any of it and now that I wasn't ready to

    NORMANI. I could feel his eyes pressed on the back of my neck. He was staring at me, and I could feel it. I knew even without being told that Shawn’s stare was burning into the back of my head. But I didn’t turn. I couldn’t. If I met his gaze, if I saw him standing there with her, that beautiful woman beside him, it would break something in me that I had worked too hard to hold together. And here I was trying so hard not to look at him and his girlfriend. I still wondered why she had to lie. Why did she say that there was nothing between her and Shawn? I knew she was smart, but I was hoping she wouldn’t find out about our relationship. Knowing they were behind me did something to me. I hated the feeling, knowing he was behind me with another woman.I stood there letting the party unfold, acting like I couldn’t smell them from where I stood. I could hear their little gestures; they were talking and laughing. I didn't want to turn around and see the way he behaved with her because I

    NORMANI.Today was his wedding day. George and Becky.I was going to attend the weddding of a man that I once married. Life could really be unpredictable. But I wasn't mad. This had to happen for character development. Here I was doing this things I never thought that I would go back to.Lesson learnt and now it was time for revenge.Estelle’s reflection appeared behind me as she adjusted her earrings, watching me carefully the way only a sister-friend could.“Are you sure you want to attend?” she asked, concern dripping from every word. Estella was the kind of care about me even after I told her I was strong enough.“Yes,” I answered, my voice steady though my heart raced a bit. I was going to get watch a man I was once married to get wedded to another.“My heart has left George. His wedding doesn’t mean anything to me anymore.” I tightened my heart, hoping I was telling myself the truth.Her eyes narrowed, and then she smiled.“We have Shawn to thank for that,” she said softly. “I w

    SHAWN. Three days later, I was in the middle of dangerous men from all over the city, serving them drinks. My eyes blazed with fire, but I dared not act toward them. These were ancient men who commanded this darkness that I found myself in. These men were the power behind the Don position, and I had to act like I was okay with being here. As though I didn’t want to curl myself in Normani’s hands and inhale her sweet, natural perfume.Jackie was beside me, poised and regal as always, watching with the same attention as myself. The smoke in the room didn’t seem to bother anyone, but I couldn't help but think about how much it was going to bother Normani. Pretty sure she was going to be scrunching up her nose and coughing. I could feel the weight of their stares. Every movement I made, every glass I placed on the polished table, was an unspoken test. I knew it, Jackie knew it, and most of all, her father knew it. This was the beginning of being Don, the very start of this darkness.One

    NORMANI.“You know, I still don’t understand why you chose to do that bitch’s jewelry,” Estella muttered as she leaned over my shoulder, watching me adjust the final clasp on Becky’s necklace.Her voice was sharp, her annoyance unmasked, and I couldn’t blame her. Estella was the part of me that didn't know how to hide her feelings. She was the part of me that fought when others looked down on me.I glanced at her and let a small smile curve my lips. “And I hate that you are letting your creativity work in this moment. You even gave her one of your very new designs.” Estella rolled her eyes. I was adding the last-minute touch after getting a new Inspiration for her design.“Well, I will not let Becky tarnish the image of the company I worked so hard to build. Regardless of the war we have, this company remains the best and the most unique.”Estella hated that I was working so hard for someone like Becky. She paid so much for this necklace, so I have to work.I lifted the necklace, the

    SHAWN. I didn’t know what to tell Normani. My mouth opened, but the words stayed locked somewhere in my chest. I couldn’t possibly tell her the truth, I couldn't even tell her half of it. It didn’t matter that we weren’t officially together. It didn’t matter that what we had between us was just sex partner yet but I kept tugging on at the edges thinking this was going to be permanent even when I knew it was nearly impossible not with the chains that were binding me. Also, it felt so wrong to say it out loud. How do you tell a woman you are fucking that your girlfriend was waiting for you at home? There was no neat or clean way to say it without cutting her. Without making her feel like she was a fling. I hesitated, and of course she saw it. Normani was sharper than she looked. Her beauty could deceive a man and make it seem like that was all she was good at, being beautiful. Her gaze was a blade dressed up as silk. However, her gaze didn't hold anger. It didn't disappoint. It held
