ROLAND’S POV

A FEW HOURS EARLIER

“We did it!” Maya whispered, her eyes gleaming with pride as we signed the document.

Noah Beck was stupid for always chasing sentimental things. The building had been up for demolition for years, but I had been stalling on signing it off.

“What rule will Roland be getting?” Grandma asked, staring at Noah with nothing but hate in her eyes.

My palms were tweistching in excitement. I was finally getting out of this bad press funk. And when the time was right, I would make sure that I use the Conrad influence to squeeze out Noiah from the project.

Their words had flown over my head until I heard the term supervisor.

“What!”

It felt like my ears were ringing, what did he just say?

Anastasia grabbed my hand, trying to give me some comfort. I yanked my hand out of her grip, my eyes hardening as I rose to my feet.

“What did you just say?” I growled.

    SASHA’S POVI woke with a start, my heart slamming hard against my chest like I had run a thousand miles.I could still feel it, the tingling pain in my feet.The dream had been chaotic. I was walking through a coal of fire, and the world watched as I cried.Noah stood at the corner, trying to fight through to get to me. But the more he pushed, the hotter the fire burned.My door banged open, and Nina walked in with a panicked look on her face.“I have been calling you,” she hissed, her eyes gleaming with tears.“What is going on?” I asked, my tone matching the panicked look on her face as I rushed towards my phone.“I had it turned off last night,” I whispered.“Don’t you pick it up?” she said her tone filled with urgency.I paused. My hands hanging mid-air as I stared at her, “You are scaring me, Nina,”“Just… just let's have breakfast first. I am starving,” she said, trying to act casual.But she wasn’t casual, no matter how hard she tried to act it.Right now, she was behaving lik

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Irony of the situation

    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

    SASHA’S POVGrandma Petal (Meryl Conrad) lives in a world where her words her sealed. No one questions her actions, each man would hang his head on a guillotine waiting for it to drop.But Noah Beck— oh, he was enjoying this moment. The pushing and unbothered stares.“What are you talking about?” Meryl hissed, her eyebrows furrowed.Other than occasional smiles and the constant look of disdain on her face. This was the first time that I saw Meryl Conrad with another expression on her face.“I am a Conrad, you are nothing,” Roland bellowed, the veins on his neck looking like they were about to pop.One day, they might actually pop. I smiled softly, imagining what that would look like.Meryl raised her hand, silencing Roland’s tantrum.“We are the Conrads, we don’t disappear from the spotlight. We reposition, become bigger, something more powerful than what the world had seen,” she said.“You had stained the Conrad name and now, you have to fix the mess that you have made,” she added.N

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Gala night (3)

    SASHA’S POV The room fell silent, the crowd parting like the red sea. Her perfume filled the air, the jasmine laced with lavender announced her presence. It was an intoxicating scent that I could never forget— the one that held me captive while I stared at the woman who held so much power. Just like the wind, she moved, a gentle cyclone, she was a force. Meryl Conrad. Founder of the Conrad empire. The matriarch. Her eyes scanned around the room, she wore her disdain like a decorated soldier adorned in medal of bravery. Tonight, she made the crowd know they were beneath her. Roland stood behind her with a smug look on his face. One thing was certain, she was here to fight his battles, just like she had always done. My eyes met Noah Beck’s gaze and I knew he was thinking the same thing that I was. “We should leave,” I muttered under my breath. I had faced Roland and the rest of his cohorts, I wasn’t sure if I had the boldness to face her. Meryl Conrad

    NOAH’S POVThe slow symphony of the harp resonated around the room. Soft and gentle for conversations to be carried out, but loud enough to drown out the whispers.But their eyes, they followed us around like vultures searching for a carcass.“So, what kept you in the bathroom?” I asked Sasha, making a conversation as I looked around the room.Zealous ambitious men filled the room, eyes glaring at us with admiration laced with hate.“Ran into an old acquaintance,” she shrugged, but her tone told me it was more than an acquaintance.“Everything okay?” I asked.She linked her arm with mine, smiling softly as she placed a gentle kiss on my lips, “Just perfect,”Gone was the lady who looked torn on the night we made our deal. Now, she was fiercer, stronger, sharper.God, I liked it. She made the Mrs Beck’s title sound fitting.Matt moved closer to us, iPad in hand as he showed us the latest headlines, “The public has already crowned both of you power couples of the year,”They should.“Ro
