“Sir…”“Leave me alone!” I yelled in anger as I rose from the ground and went over to my seat.He lowered his head to the ground and stood aside.“What is it? How much headache do you want to give me in a day?” I questioned him in contempt and he sighed.“I’m sorry to disturb your peace, sir but it’s urgent.” he informed me.“It’s the Keybank manager,” he said.“What?” I sprang up from the ground that I sat on.I entered the room where Mr. Luke and the CEO of Keybank, Charles, were seated, they stood from their seats immediately I stepped in and I waved at them.I wondered why they held a meeting without consulting me, besides we had nothing to discuss since our deal was already settled.“Mr. Liam, we are sorry to call a meeting with short notice.” Charles apologized and I nodded.“It’s alright, I’m here now.” I began.“What is this about?” I asked, exchanging stares with them, they cleared their throat as though it was planned.“It’s about our deal, Mr. Liam.” Luke’s voice resonated
I walked out of my bedroom with Ruby as we went to the dinning room for breakfast. We met Chi-saun and Lou who were already preparing their table, so bad I woke up late and didn’t get the time to prepare something for myself.“Hi, first wife. Can I get a share from your portion?” I asked her, letting out a toothy smile. She shook her head.“The kitchen door is open, Miss. Amber. I'm not your slave.” she shunned me annoyingly.I wondered what must have pissed her off or she got up from the wrong side of her bed.“Fine, fine. You would have been straight forward rather than sounding rude. It’s still early.” I rolled my eyes and sat on the seat.“Ruby, get me my phone. I will have to order something online.” I said lazily feeling so tired, upon I haven't done anything.“That’s not possible, Amber.” Chi-saun’s voice resonated the room again, she looked angry already.“In this mansion, take out or orders are not allowed. I know you can do anything but sorry, Mr. Logan is not here to save y
All through the night, I was left in contemplation. The fact that I couldn’t understand how I was feeling and Logan behaving like a prick, I rolled grumpily on the bed.“I can’t take this anymore.” I jumped out of the bed and changed into my swimsuit.“I need some air.” I made my way to the swimming pool room without disturbing Ruby.The entire hallway was isolated as I arrived at the pool. It was still and calm, so blue that I could see beneath the attractive water.The scene that happened in Hawaii flashed into my memory and I shook my head.“This is a pool and not an ocean.” I shook the thought off because I didn’t want it to build inside of me and become a traumatic problem.I used the handrails and stepped into the cool water. I shrink and exhaled heavily as I got in. The water was so cold and I ducked my head inside.“This feels good.” I commented as I raised my head from the water.Before, it felt like my head was burning but right now, I felt anew and fresh.“Two laps and we c
I walked into my multi-purpose enterprise with my secretary, Dennis. He matched my steps while explaining the report to me.“That’s good. And what about the contractors?” We stopped walking as I glanced around the entire bustling arena.My enterprise had well-doing malls, restaurants, saloons and many more intriguing activities.“So?” I faced Dennis.“They said the space would be good for a pleasure park.” He informed me courteously.“Put them on the phone. I would love to hear their reason and the structure.” I instructed them. He shuffled his pocket and brought out my phone in order to call the contractors.“Boss.” He passed me the phone.“Dennis explained everything to me but I would love to hear from you.” I started.“Can I see you in my office today, by 5?” I asked seriously.“Good then.” I gave Dennis the phone which he quickly took and opened my office door.“Anything else today?” I sat down. “I’m planning to check the other companies.” I informed him slyly.“Boss, it’s a call
I couldn’t tell if I was set up or it happened coincidentally but I never thought such a day would come in my life where I would stand before the man I once loved.We crashed on my way back home and he insisted on getting an explanation from me until he pulled me to a nearby park.I stared at his eyes filled with compassion, desperation and love yet I was reluctant to act out of impulse.“What else do you want to hear from me? I don’t love you anymore, Liam.” I blurted out straight at his face that was now looking ugly to me.Maybe this is what happens when we stop loving people. They disgust us and become less important.“Seriously? Do you want me to believe you? We dated for a year and half Amber! I love you so much and I know you have the same feelings for me.” He began with his voice filled with certainty and hurt.“And you want me to accept the painful fact just because we have been away for a week or two?” He asked me with his brow raised, I swallowed hard.Even in the cold weat
"Mr. Logan." The tense atmosphere subsided as the Doctor approached us in heavy steps."Doctor Shepherd." He sighed heavily as he faced the doctor. "Can I see my wife now?" He asked the doctor in a straightforward manner.The tone which he used in pronouncing the "wife" part tends to irk me."No, I'm afraid." The doctor said,"Why?" He looked anxious, unlike the Logan I know who wouldn't care for anyone.Does he truly love this woman? Yeah, I was jealous."She has an infection that is contagious. I'm afraid I don't want more patients." He said with sarcasm lingering in his voice as he shot us a slight look, Logan nodded."Sure, we will come back next time then. Just keep me updated." Logan said and started walking away from the hospital, he reached where I was standing, shrugged his shoulder and left.I exhaled sharply."Miss. Amber." Ruby rushed over to me."Why is she always causing trouble?" I snorted in annoyance as I attempted to leave."Who?" Ruby wanted to know but I left her h
I thought she was being dramatic last night until I saw her sitting on the armchair in the living room the next morning.“This is bad.” I muttered to myself as I skeptically came down from the stairs.“Good --” I tried to greet but she interrupted me.“What’s so good about the morning? Is it any fun for your mother-in-law to wake up before you?” she growled at my face looking so annoyed.I wondered what must have gotten her annoyed this early morning.“It's not like I can help you with anything.” I rolled my eyes with the attempt to take the remote, but she stopped me.“Chi-saun is coming back today.” she crossed her leg.“Oh, that’s good.” I said.“You know what to do as a mistress in this house.” she snorted in disgust, I faced her.“What should I do? Do I look like her husband to pick her up?” I raised an alarming brow.“No, but you look like a slave to get her lunch ready!” she yelled at me as she sprang up from the armchair.“I’m only letting you go because of Logan’s stupidity b
“Boss, why did you suddenly agree to meet with Liam?” Dennis asked me as we walked out of the boardroom.“Because he has been bugging one of my properties.” I snorted, tucking my hands into my pocket.“Really? Which of them? The last time I checked, we put a restriction on all your properties.” He looked anxious and confused.“There’s this new one.” I smirked with a smile hiding under my lips.“Oh…” He nodded, still looking confused.“What has my mother been up to in the mansion?” I asked him as soon as we got to my office.“Nothing much but Miss. Amber can’t hold on for too long.” He informed me with a voice filled with sorrow.I narrowed my eyes to him. “What do you mean?” I questioned anxiously.“Madam Ophelia and Miss. Ch-saun is ganging up against Miss. Amber.” He explained it in a simple way and I sighed heavily.“Well… she will have to deal with them herself.” I said.“Boss, don’t you have any plans of getting married to her legally?” Dennis' question came suddenly unlike what
