SASHA’S POV

“You know that you have just angered them more right?” I asked the minute the car door closed behind us.

The black windows shielding us from the world. I could be free. The smiles had dropped, the distance created.

Noah Beck’s eyes barely glanced in my direction. The cameras were gone, I no longer existed in his sight.

“That was what I was aiming for,” he said, typing away on his phone.

“The office, what is so important about it? I have seen it, it is nothing but a building hanging on a thin thread,” I asked, looking at him with a tiny frown on my face. I needed to understand why he was particular about it.

“That old building will be renovated to something better. If you want, it can become your office,” he said offhandedly.

“But…”

“Sasha, the building wasn’t what I wanted. my father’s office wasn’t that. I needed to be sure that when his office is reveled that they wont try to come for it,” he said, cutting me off.

Misdirection. That was beginning to look like his favouri

    NOAH’S POV“What is on your mind?” Arthur asked the second the ladies had walked out of the dining room.I heaved a sigh, running my hand across my face as I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I don’t know, one minute I have everything under control and the next, it feels like I am drowning in a world of uncertainties,”Well, added to the fact that Sasha has spent the whole night avoiding my touch or even sparing me a glance. I sounded selfish, but I hated the way she behaved like we were just on contract, like we hadn’t made real progress in our relationship.“You are treading on dangerous waters Noah, one wrong move and the world would tumble down?” he said.“Is the warning for my life or business?” I asked, even though I was inclined to what he was talking about.“You tell me which?” he asked, resting his back on the chair.For one, I was happy that Troy hadn’t made it for dinner. I knew that he wasn’t comfortable with Sasha and I wasn’t ready to be the middle man trying to fight myse

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Engagement party 1

    SASHA’S POVDinner was tense. Noah acted like all was well and I could feel Elisabeth’s curious stares burning at the side of my face.“Sasha, let's leave the men to be men. Come on. I would like to show you what I have done to the garden,” she said, stretching out her hand towards me.I wasn’t a fool; I knew that this was her way of trying to get me alone with her. She could see the emotions swirling in my eyes. I stole one flickering glance at Noah, wondering if he would interject and say we had somewhere to go.But he didn’t, rather he smiled as he placed a soft kiss on the back of my hand as he watched me leave with her.“Are you alright?” Elisabeth asked the minute we walked down the hallway. “I am sorry I missed your show, but from the bits that I picked up, I guess the world is still fawning over you.”I smiled, “It is fine, I totally understand. You had a lot on your plate,”The garden looked more beautiful than I remembered. I gasped, my eyes widening as I looked at the littl

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Scared of the future

    ROLAND’S POVI still didn’t know how I felt about seeing a man in the office alone with Anastasia. It would have been nothing, but seeing the way she looked panicked was what caught my attention.“What did he want?” I asked again, leading her to the car.She shrugged, “he was looking for Maya, but then he decided to talk to me for a minute,”I could buy that. But I didn’t, not when her tone sounded higher than her usual tone. “If he wanted to see Maya, he would have called her. Don’t you think so,”“Roland, today has been a great one, did you see that we have launched a new collection?” she said, leaning against me, her smile returning to her face.That was what I wanted to talk about. Seeing the brand on the television, a good story, something that we haven’t done in a while.“How did you do that?” I asked, wrapping my hand around her body, placing a kiss on her head.She blushed, melting into my touch, “a little secret I would like to keep for a while,” she muttered.I chuckled, any

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Ready for dinner?

    Author’s PovThe air felt fresher, Anastasia's eyes fixed on the television as she listened to the newscaster read a stellar review of the latest collection that she had just released.Her eyes gleamed with pride as she raised a glass slightly to the television, “Thank you Sasha for these designs,” she said in a mocking tone.She couldn’t believe how easy this had worked, when petal told her about their little spy who worked with Sasha, she knew exactly what she was going to do as her first strike. Roman wasn’t wrong when he had suggested that she make herself look worthy of the new position that she would be getting.With just a move, she had achieved a whole lot more than she had bargained for. Eleanor was slowly getting excommunicated and she, well, she was literally the only one the matriarch loved to have a conversation with.The office was empty, safe for the security guard and a few cleaners. She had decided to stay back to work on the second scheme of the plan, with these new

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Trouble in paradise

    Noah’s PovI could feel the anger radiating off her. This wasn’t the usual chirpy Sasha who enjoyed spending car rides with me. She was cold, but something was lingering behind those looks. Pain? Regret?My fingers tighten around the steering wheel, my eyes hardening as I glare at the road. I shouldn’t be angry at her for choosing not to speak to me. She had reached out a thousand times, but I had been the one to refuse her olive branch.I had been so stuck on ending the Conrads that I barely realised that I was losing the one thing that was bringing me peace.It wasn’t exactly a lie that Roland’s action had rattled me, but seeing the extent to which they would go, I had to be careful in my next actions. My mind wandered to the party that I would be attending in just a few days.Petal Conrad is going to see firsthand that she had never had any solid control over my company and Arthur King like she thought she had.I stole a quick glance towards Sasha, if I had a dollar I would love to

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Fallen in love

    SASHA’S POVThe house felt lively as I walked through the doors. Rose’s laughter echoed loudly through the quiet hallway as I let my feet lead me in the direction of the sound.I couldn’t stay in the office, not when everyone stared at me with expectations in their eyes. They needed answers. They wanted new battle plans.But I was out of ideas. Out of the new ways that I would twist this obstacle into a win. What I needed was a nice glass of wine and a warm bath and maybe a few tears to take the edge off. The second I walked into the kitchen, it felt like the air had been kicked out of my lungs.My eyes found Noah Beck, sitting on the other side of the counter, looking just as handsome as I remembered.“You are back early,” Rose’s voice cut through my surprise. “I wanted to call you, but I knew better than to bother you in the office,”I hadn’t spared her a glance, my eyes were still on Noah. He looked different, there was a rugged edge to him that I couldn’t place my hands on.Rose h
