Twenty nine
This evening was a very awkward one for me. Every now and then, Rhonda and I glimpsed at each other. I was really wondering if Ivan noticed how uncomfortable I was beside her. Well, I hoped he didn't notice it.
"So, how've you guys been?" she asked Ivan.
With mouthful of pancake, he mumbled, "Great, great. My business has been going fine, and uh, my mental health has been cool lately."
She beamed with a smile. The smile with a devilish intention. "Aw… sweet. I'm happy about that. And what about your social life? How's your—" she glanced at me. "—relationship with her? I believe I can see some improvements. I see you've been—"
With a fake cough, I cut her off. I acted like I choke

It had been a while since Antonio came over to my place. I never liked him around because he was either always flirting with the maids or saying crazy things that never stopped boring me. If I hadn't promised myself to not go to work all through the week, I would have surely not have let him come here.He switched on the new phone he had gotten me, gave it to me, and sucked his teeth. "That's it. It's been linked to hers. Any information you need on her phone, you can find it there.""Including her mails and bank transactions?" I asked.He snorted. "Of course. Anything you can think of.""Alright. Will send you the money." I put the phone on the center table, then set my gaze on him.

As Jason packed his bags, getting ready to leave my place, I stared at the phone Antonio had given to me. To be honest, I wasn't willing to go through everything on Rae's phone. Suddenly, I started to feel like I was going to invade her privacy. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to have someone go through my private messages and calls. That was absurd."You got a new phone?" I looked up at Jason when he asked me that.I nodded. "Kinda."He let out a throaty laugh, dropping his bag on my table. "Why? You've already got one. You're planning to give it to a woman or something?""Not that.""Then?" He gave me a questioning look. Woah, why was he

I would admit that I was feeling quite weird about this date. Putting it in a more specific way, I was shy. This was totally crazy and confusing, but it was the crazy truth. I was really starting to wonder if my annoyance toward Rae being indifferent to me was me starting to like her in a way. No, not like I really liked her, but being honest, I liked being with her, liked staring at her, and liked hearing her say something. It felt like although she had always been trying to push me away from her, it made me feel the need to know her more.Was all of this due to my loneliness? Or had I decided to truly move on?Taking a deep breath, I turned around to walk into my room. And just taking a step in, I halted in my tracks.Sweet Lord, this woman was beautiful.

I didn't know how to control my fright. I wouldn't have ever thought I would become this scared of a person. Well, this fear was inevitable.Only yesterday, Raymond and Rhonda had been talking about how much they hated Ivan. Raymond had even said he wished Ivan would just die. But while we were leaving the mansion, Rhonda had acted like the sweetest person in the world. To be honest, I really didn't know much about her. I didn't even know how she got to know me.On a fateful day, last year, she had walked up to me and had introduced herself as Ivan's aunt. She has said I could get what was rightfully mine if we would just work together. And yes, I had agreed to it. After all, I had always been a pained person. I had just seen it as an opportunity to be who I was meant to be. But, now that I was thinking about it, I was sc

Not wanting to experience this frustration any longer, I decided to move back a little. I just stood here like an idiot, hating myself for feeling so jealous."Does it still hurt so much? You need to see the doctor?" He kept massaging her feet.She tugged her hand to his arm, shook her head, pouted, and squeezed her face harder. "Please, don't massage it further. It hurts even more."He glimpsed at me but turned back to her immediately. "This is why you should always be careful. Should I get you some ice?""I don't mean to bother you." Again, she sniffled. "But yes, please do that. I'm in so much pain."He breathed out in frustration. "Gosh, I d

Looking out at the view from the huge window which was almost the size of a door, I blinked multiple times to hold back my tears. The moment a little breeze hit my open chest, I shuddered a little and breathed out loud. Wrapping my arms around myself to create warmth, I turned around and just walked to the huge bed.I felt lonely.Before leaving the mansion with Ivan, I had been hopeful that things would work out well for us, but then, he had to fuck it all up. This was past ten, yet, he hadn't come home.I really wondered why I was waiting for him. I was being hopeful that he'd show up and tell me how much he missed me.Why had he made me feel so joyful tonight, only for him to ruin it all?

Jessica°°°°°°°°°Tonight would definitely be one of the best nights for me. Well, not like it was something new for every fourteen year old. But yes, it was new for me. Finally, my dad had agreed to the fact that it was high time I started dating. It took a whole lot of effort to make him understand that I wanted a boyfriend already. I had to take a mini-exam, had to do an IQ test, and even had to sign a childish contract with him. Wasn't that crazy? Definitely. Anyway, it was a normal thing for a billionaire to be protective of his precious little girl."Gosh!" My best friend, Jojo, squealed over the phone.I chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. I'm also very excited. Don't worry, I'll tell you about it once it happens. And, by all means

Ivan°°°°°"How do we deal with them?" Being quite reluctant to this long conversation, I leaned into my seat, crossed my legs over each other, and stared at the dude who sat by the table in front of me. Taking a pen from the table, I narrowed my eyes a bit, trying to concentrate on what he had to say.His fingers moved to the table, gently drumming against the furniture. For some reason, a smirk grew on his lips. He twitched an eyebrow, then fixed his gaze at the paper which was on the table. "You're sure you wanna know that? I mean, you don't mind listening to the bad part of my plan?"I scoffed. Grabbing the cup of cappuccino in front of me, I sipped from it, then cleared my throat. "Antonio, they're my competitors. Not my enemies. If the plan's to h
