The atmosphere stiffened inside my office" silence fell like a blade" I sat in silence the air turning colder and heavier between us" silent tension rising" I looked at my so called business partner in front of me" my fist clenched in anger I wanted to choke him to death the only thing stopping me was because he was my cousin" but I still couldn't help but wonder how we shared the same blood" he was stupid Scott say something man' your silence is eating me alive" I know I fucked up big time this time around" he says standing five feet away from me" afraid I'll pounce on him because of my anger What the fuck Andrew!! I curse looking at him anger flaring in my eyes Scott" I'm sorry man' I really am" I know investing the company's millions behind your back is the dumbest thing I've ever done" I thought it would be good for us never did I expect it would lead us to bankruptcy" he explains pasing around my office worriedly Andrew" I call trying my best not to lose my temper What man" he says turning around to look at me" not in a good way, and some how it makes me feel that he's not telling me the whole truth How much did you invest I ask looking at him" Does it matter he says avoiding eyes contact with me Yes it does" you better start talking or I'll have your head on the table I say my tone cold and serious letting him know I have reached the brick of my patience" 200 million he says rubbing his hands" once again silence falls between us" I shut my eyes a storm brewing inside of me Who did you invest the 200 million to I ask my voice ice cold as I clench my fist" Scott calm down man he says adjusting his tie nervously" Andrew you're my cousin and all of that shit" but this is business and I'm not playing any games so you better start talking before or I'll forget we are blood related I warn giving him a deadly look He looks at me clearly shaken" I invested it to your father" he promised me a large profit.. he starts to explain but I cut him off What the heck man!! I lash out slamming my fist against the table" Andrew how can you invest 200 million to the one man you know wants to see me fall flat on my face I say flamming with anger I thought he wanted to help us grow the company he says trying to find reason in his words but all I can see is his stupidness How can you possibly trust him" you know what did to me" I mean how could you not see through his trap I say my looking at him pissed Scott he's your father he says looking at me" Don't you dare call him that!! I shout pointing my finger at him" Okay' fine he says rasing his hand in the air as if surrendering" what should we do now he asks looking at me So now you ask I say with sarcasm sighing deeply as I sink back on my chair" thinking of ways to handle the damage created by him We don't have any other choice" we have to get that 500 million tender contract " I say sitting back on my seat I don't think it's as easy as you make it sound" I heard that Walter Blackrose retired a year ago and now his daughter is the new CEO of Blackrose enterprises" I also heard she's not an easy person to deal with" she's very cold and calculative he says rubbing his hands Well that's interesting I say leaning back on my office chair Dude how is this interesting we could lose the company if we don't get that contract he says looking at me as if I have gone crazy I like a good challenge" let's see what happens I say with a sinister smile

Scott's Pov I winced like a vampire as sun burned through my eyes" I grabbed my phone on the night stand and looked at the time on it, it was 9:45 am and I was supposed to be at work but I didn't feel like itMy eyes widened as I saw the twenty four missed calls on the screen, they were all from Andrew" what the fuck did he want now I'm guessing he must have messed up just like he always does and is probably calling me to clean up the mess" but I'm tired' drained both physically and mentally so he can go to hell for all I care" and without a second thought I rejected the call I got up and went to take a shower" I came out of the bathroom and wrapped the towel around my waist I was about to put on some clothes when my phone rang again"Fucking Andrew what do you want now! I cussed as I saw the caller ID and the thirty one missed calls What I said pissed after accepting the callI should be asking you that he said sounding furious”You would be if I was the one drunk in some bar" sp

Valarie's Pov 🔥I arrived at the company and headed straight to the Boardroom" I was late and I hated being late, it also didn't help that I had a hangover from last night's drinking Thank you Clare I said as she placed the cup of coffee on the table, I took a sip before turning my attention to the board members Sorry I'm late I said with an apologitic tone even though I hated apologizing, but today was an exception that's because the people present in the room were very important for the company" I needed to get their approval" If I succeeded our company would become number one on the country placing us on top of the map in the business word" so yeah it was important that I wone their trust ”Shall we start I said as I turned the page of the file"I assume that my team as already pitched the project to you I said looking at them"Yes and I must say I loved it, personality" that's why Grayson Tech Intepreses will like to invest twenty million in the project said Mrs Grayson one of
Beyond My Husband's Lies 10. Meddling Parents
Valarie's Pov Note to myself: alcohol doesn't mix well with anger ” I winced my head feeling heavy and my limbs too numb to feel, I opened my eyes adjusting to my surroundings" everything was blurry...“no vivid I had no memory of last night whatsoever ” the last thing I remember is people congratulating me after I came first place to the business of the year award" I also remember finding myself sitting next to that jerk again" let's just say we ended up exchanging words that weren't so pleasent.." I also remember drinking anything I could get my hands on because of anger" and after that I don't remember anything that happened afterwards that's because I was too drunk But it doesn't matter anyway" it's not like I'll die if I don't remember what happened afterwards" but if there's one thing I'm sure of is that I got drunk because of that jerk" yeah if it weren't for him getting on my nerves I wouldn't have drank too much last night ” The man was a nuisance he had a comeback for e
Beyond My Husband's Lies 9. Terrible First Impression
Valarie's Pov*I deliberately avoided eye contact with him as he spoke his presence making me feel uneasy" maybe it's because of the way he looked at meHe had no shame whatsoever" I get the feeling that I'm boring you with my talks he said with a knowing smile" somehow it made me feel annoyed especially when I gave him a hint that I didn't want to be hereWell couldn't you tell I didn't want the tour I said coldly pushing my wheelchair besides him"So that's the thanks I get for saving your ass he says with a dry chuckle"Saving me from what I said halting my wheelchair"From whatever you were about to die from" I could see you were about to burst Miss Rose" am I lying or what he said with a smirk on his face as if he had just done me some kind of favour" I hated it when people think I owe them something that's why I don't accept help"If you haven't noticed I didn't need your heroism Mr Foster and my last name isn't Rose it's Blackrose I corrected him coldly even though I got the f

Scott's PovValarie Blackrose just the person I needed to meet" imagine the shock when my uncle introduced me to her " everything seemed to fall into place" it was as if fate was on my sideI had initially refused when uncle Winston invited me to the party" that's because I didn't want to see my asshole of a father and his mistress turned wife" but my mother gave me the family supports each other speech" and so I was forced to come with his younger son Andrew I don't like crowded places" I thought I was going to die of boredom" but then my eyes fell on her"I noticed her the moment she walked inside the hotel with her parents" not exactly walk " the woman was in a wheelchair but that did not stop my dirty mind from wondering into forbidden places" she was beautiful" breath taking and everyone present could see it" I wasn't the only one guilty of staring Even though she was disabled she still managed to steal the spotlight" I could tell by the way people were staring at her that she
