Alyssa

The car ride home was quiet my head was still spinning from the argument with Rachel her words, her offer of money it all just made me feel dirty and tired.

It made me want to show them who’s boss but with a little bit of patience we’ll reach there.

Right now all I wanted was to be in my own space and get some rest.

When James pulled up to the house I got out quickly. "Thank you James. That will be all for tonight," I said my voice sounding as exhausted as I felt.

He just nodded. "Goo

  • Divorce? Your Biggest Mistake.   CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

    Alyssa I haven’t stepped out of the house since the incident at the company the bumiliation from the board meeting was a constant, screaming noise in my mind. I couldn't sit still.I couldn't think. I just paced.I ended up in the kitchen of my penthouse. I needed water. My throat was so dry I grabbed a glass and filled it from the tap. My hands were shaking as I lifted the glass to my lips and started gulping the cold water down trying to drown out the thoughts.The sound of the front door opening and closing made me jump. I choked as water went down the wrong way. I started coughing hard. My eyes watered. I bent over putting the glass down hacking into my hand.I heard his footsteps fast he was coming towards me but I refuse to look at him.A hand landed on my back. It was big and warm. He started to rub slow circles trying to help me breathe.As soon as I felt his touch a new kind of panic shot through me. I straightened up fast, pulling away from him so violently I al

    AresArthur White stood by the fireplace, his back to me, his shoulders rigid.“It’s the only way,” I said my voice cutting through the silence. “You heard what happened in the boardroom. Martin used Article 12 and the’ve voted, she’s out. She’s not the CEO anymore.”He didn’t turn around. “And your solution to this is to marry her?”“Yes.”Finally, he turned. His face was a mask of fury. “Have you lost your mind? You want to marry my daughter? As a solution?”“It’s not a real marriage,” I said, forcing the words out. They tasted like ash. “It’s a contract, a business arrangement. We get married. She meets the company’s requirement and gets her position back. Martin loses his power. It’s simple.”“Simple?” Arthur roared, slamming his glass down on the mantle. “You think marrying my daughter is simple? Do you have any idea what you’re asking?”“I know exactly what I’m asking,” I said, my own temper rising. I had to make him see. “I’m asking for the legal right to stand beside her to b

    Alyssa It has been four days since we came back from Italy and Four long, quiet days I had not seen Ares. Not once. He was just… gone.Marcus told me yesterday that he came into my office, his face looking serious.“Ares dropped this off for you,” Marcus said as he placed a single envelope on my desk.I looked at it.My heart felt like a stone in my chest I did not need to open it. I knew what it was.“A resignation letter,” I said my voice flat.Marcus nodded. “Yes… he said he is sorry and said it is for the best.”I just pushed the envelope away not wanting to touch it. “Fine…. Hire a new head of security.”That was it. He was gone Just like that, after everything. He just left.I felt numb as I threw myself into work. It was the only thing I could do.This morning I got a message. It was from my uncle Martin. His message said: ‘Emergency board meeting. My office 10 AM.’I was so annoyed and not ready for what ever drama was he putting on this timeWhat stupid thing did he w

    AlyssaThe car ride was quiet at first, I just stared out the window watching the beautiful old buildings of Italy blur past. Ares didn't talk either which I’m very thankful for cause right now the last thing I want to do is talk.We soon arrived out our destination and we got out and walked. It wasn't a tour, not really but rather we just walked. We went to a small café and he ordered coffee for us then we sat at a tiny table outside. Ares has been doing most of the talking and I’m very sure he’s beginning to notice too. My lips quivered as I struggle to back bite the words, but it was starting to become too hard as my heart began to escalate.All the confusion, all the fear, it was still there but in that quiet moment, it was overshadowed by one simple terrifying truth.I took a deep breath as I looked at him.He was looking out at the water, his profile strong and serious.“Ares,” I said my voice was soft.He turned to look at me. His dark eyes were calm. “Yes?”I swallow

    AresMy phone buzzed in my hand it was Arthur White.I answered it. "Yes.""Update," his voice was a low growl. "I have my man keeping tabs on Martian," I said keeping my voice down. I was standing outside the hotel. "His every move, he has been meeting with Mr. Johnson."There was a silence on the other end. A dangerous silence."Johnson?" Arthur finally said. "What is my brother doing with that old fool again?”"I do not know yet," I said. "But it is can’t be good and Marcus... he convinced Alyssa to bring Damon on this trip. It was his idea."Another silence then a curse. "Marcus too? Are you sure?""Yes," I said. "They are all connected that we know and they’re trying to lure Alyssa into their plan. I do not know the plan yet but I will find out.""You make sure she is safe Ares," Arthur said. His voice was hard. "You keep her away from them. I do not care what you have to do. You keep my daughter safe.""I will make sure she is safe," I said. "I promise."Just then a voice b

    AlyssaWe were currently in the boardroom having a meeting with the investors."Thank you all for having us," I said my voice was clear it filled the room. "We can now begin."The men from the Italian company Moretti Enterprises started their presentation. One of them began, he talked about numbers, profit, growth as he showed charts on a big screen."Your company White Enterprise is very strong in America," Giovanni said. "Our company is strong here in Europe we can control the market."I listened as I watched the charts. "Your numbers for the last quarter are impressive," I said. "But I see a problem here." I pointed to the screen. "Your costs in shipping. They went up twenty percent. Why?"Giovanni looked a little nervous. "Ah yes, the fuel prices. It was a difficult season.""I understand fuel prices," I said. My voice was cool. "But your competitors did not have a twenty percent increase they had twelve please explain the difference."He shifted in his chair. "We use a differ
