ROBERT

My hand lifted her chin till she was staring directly at me. Her eyes held a look of surprise. I wondered what was going through her mind this minute. It was a miracle that I had been able to control my fury when I saw Stiles gripping her hand with such possessiveness. Somehow, I imagined he was attracted to get. I mean, who wouldn't be? She was beautiful and had that pull that would lure any man in, but she was mine.

I noticed Isla's eyes were closing slowly and her body leaning in against mine. Her lips were forming a small pout.

I almost chuckled. Just how cute my baby looked.

"What are you doing, Isla?" I couldn't help shake the smirk tugging involuntarily at the corner of my lips.

I seemed to have dragged my little girl out of her fantasies. Her eyes fluttered open, her lips parted and a small flush kissed her cheeks, making it a light pink shade.

"Um.." She moved back a bit, her hand flying to smoothen some strands of hair to her pony tail. "I…"

The words trailed.

    ROBERTAs I drove the SUV out of the garage, I redialled Mia's line."Robert," Her voice rang out on the third ring."Mia, what did you do that for?" I tried to keep my voice steady, but the anger still surfaced."What did I do what for?" She replied."You know exactly what I'm talking about.""I don't exactly know what you're talking about, Robert..please be clear."I knew Mia well enough."If you're going to be stooping so low to taunt her, you should at least remember your position." I said sternly. "Whoa, wait Robert, is this about your practicing secretary?""Isla.""I guessed so. This confirms it""Confirms what?""Never mind. 6PM. Don't be late, Robert."I ended the call with a sigh. ****I glanced at the full length mirror and noticed that one of the buttons of my suit was undone. My fingers tugged lazily in an attempt to button it. When I was done dressing up, I picked a car key from my bedside table. I studied it for a while and decided I didn't want to impress so I picke

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Dinner

    ROBERT"Robert, could you believe? mom prepared all these by herself." Mia chuckled. She looked like some excited teenager that managed to invite their boyfriend over for dinner."Really? That's…." To be honest, I didn't know what to say in this kind of situation, but I knew I should be thankful at the heartfelt gesture, right?"... lovely, I feel honored. Thank you." I smiled at May and watch her cheeks color as she secured some strands of hair dancing on her face to the back of her ear. "I hope you like it." May replied, gesturing at the plate in front of me. I opened the cover. May had prepared a classic American style home cooked dinner. The centerpiece was a meatloaf—slightly burnt around the edges, its crust a bit too dark, evidence that she'd left it in the oven longer than intended. Alongside it were buttery mashed potatoes with green beans sautéed with almonds, and a fresh garden salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. There was also cornbread, just a little dry at the top, li

    ROBERTFor some good minutes, May and Steve didn't return back to the dinning table. I didn't touch the food since they left, somehow feeling grateful for the fact that I didn't have to continue lying and filling my stomach with more burnt food. Mia suddenly pushed the food away. My intuition strongly told me the couples knew something concerning my parent's death. They knew the perpetrator, but just wanted to protect them. There was nothing natural about the incident. I really didn't want to involve anyone because it was an underground work, one I wouldn't easily let down till I got to the root of."Mom had been the one who suggested and planned this dinner." Mia spoke, her usually bright golden eyes looking dark. "I don't want to say it, but I feel they're going crazy.""Mia…""No, don't give me all those 'it's fine' shits like I'm some little girl. I'm more than old enough to know when it's fine or not."I nooded in understanding at the blunt honesty."Look, just now dad mentioned

    ROBERT"You know what? Call your dad's driver and have him drop you off."With that I walked to the car, got in and slammed the door shut. Without thinking twice, I drove out of the compound and headed for my penthouse. As I got to my room, I got a cup and filled it with whisky. The drink burned its way down my throat, each gulp a futile attempt to drown the storm raging within me. Mia's words echoed relentlessly in my mind "What do you think Mason and Olivia would do?". The finality in her tone had struck a mark in my heart, leaving me reeling with a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion. I put away the glass and drowned the remaining content directly, till there was nothing left in the bottle. I turned it turned it over, just to be sure there was nothing left. I tugged impatiently at the collar of my shirt, trying to find the place I had knotted my tie. When I found it, I ripped it off impatiently. I slumped onto the couch, kicking the shoes off, sending them flying across the room

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Morning at the office

    ISLA"Your breakfast…""Don't worry, eat as much as you want, if you have a boyfriend, you can pack some for him, you can invite your friends over, they can come eat." I smiled, of course I was angry and being sarcastic but she wouldn't know. The maid looked confused, her lips parted open to say something, but she shut it back and just stared at me with wide confused eyes. I made for the door, but suddenly paused in my tracks. I turned back to look at her. "Are you so scared of him? If he asks you, tell him I asked you to bring your friends over for breakfast." I shrugged and stepped out of the house. I reached my office and tried to settle in. I was fuming with anger but decided to keep it cool. Why? He was with Mia for dinner, he had promised to call, or maybe perhaps he had forgotten. Hell no, I wasn't stupid. The witch must have somehow cast a spell on him. A spell that made sure…..A knock on the door interrupted my trail of thoughts. Stiles walked in."What do you want?"He d

    ROBERTAs soon as I got to my office, I first set out to go through one thing—the file. I inputted the code on my safe and it clicked open. I brought out the file Davis had been working on. My hand wiped the face off invisible dust. This wasn't any part of business, but still, it was going to be one of my greatest accomplishments. I went back to my seat and settled myself down. A small headache still lingered somewhere in my head, but I decided if I ignored it, then it would definitely subside. I opened the file and spread it out on my desk. I picked up the external drive Davis had left for me in our last meeting. Davis was the private investigator that had been on the case of my parents' death. The drive contained the recordings of a CCTV footage. I connected it to my laptop and played it. Just few minutes into the recording, a light knock came on the door. Somehow, I had the feeling that it was her. Well, my guess was correct. The words that Mia had said last night hit my gut,

    ROBERTIsla and I disengaged. She took a step away from me. her eyes filled with worry. For a few minutes, no one said anything. There was only the exchanging of looks, and Mia was sure serving the killer looks. Bryan looked completely stunned. I knew we scheduled for a time to meet today, I just didn't think he'd be that early, or maybe because I had turned in late for work after reeling from the effect of getting drunk. "Hmm, I'll send you a template on how to label the mails." I said to her, loud enough for everyone to hear.Isla nodded and walked out, nodding a greeting to Bryan by the door, and muttering something to Mia."Please, have your seats." I gestured as I rounded my desk to settle down. I quickly put away the file I had spread out on the table. Bryan had a look of surprise, he looked like he had something to say. Mia on the other hand just glared at me. I tried to search my head for any reason she was here. Sure it had something to do with business."How have you been?

    ROBERTThe question caught me completely off guard. My throat went dry at the taunting question Bryan threw at me."I don't think that is important right now?" I couldn't believe how stern my voice sounded. "Mia can act like a child and throw whatever tantrums she wanted, you know how she is."He took that as a wise cue to drop the topic."I met with Stiles. How's his performance so far?"Bryan had been the one who recommended him to me. Stiles had been more like Bryan's mentee. He had been trained directly by him and when I needed someone to fill the position of head of marketing, Bryan had offered Stiles up for the position, and to be honest and very fair, he had been doing great at his job. I was going to praise him, but when I recalled how he had gripped Isla's hand at the hall way that day, every praise and good remark I had saved for him vanished out of my thoughts. "His performance?" I repeated, a frown crawling up my face. "Hmm, Look, I don’t know what’s going on with our m
