Antonio's Pov

"She's not picking my calls" Gerald groaned, ruffling his hair.

I was the last person who could help him and he knew but maybe he had hope

"I don't even think she'd want me to help find her" I told him, trying to stay focused on my laptop. I was suffering from a hangover and lack of sleep but I came to work, hoping I'd see her.

"Excuse us, Sir?" Two men with boxes came into the office. I raised my eyebrow at them. "We were asked by Mrs Melissa to get her things out of her office"

"Where is she?" Gerald quickly asked, looking at me like I'd ask same question.

That wasn't my fucking concern right now. Melissa can't leave my office. This is the only way I protect her.

"Tell her to come pack herself" I told them, turning away.

"Yes. Yes." Gerald agreed. "Tell her to come now"

He didn't know we had two different reasons and we weren't on the same page this time.

Like we had ever been on the same page.

"I'm sorry but I'd be involving the police if you stop us -"

    "No, I refuse such proposal" Roberta yelled, placing her hand on her chest, as if to slow her heartbeat.Baby, my sole goal is to kill you with heart attack and that isn't going to make it any better.Or stop me."It's settled, Roberta." I stared at her with a cunning smile. "Only I can save your company for good""We don't want to be saved if this is what it comes with" She threw the document on the groundMy lawyer finally delivered that agreement where the company is under my control and needs my consent to finalize whatever deal. That's because I hold majority of the vote. My company is the holder while theirs is dependent on mine. Subsidiary. Just like I envisioned years ago. If I wanted to hurt Roberta, i had to go through her company.Doris and I never worked together but somehow, whatever she did with the funds thereby making them bankrupt was just God's way of fighting for me, creating way for me. I will not back down."Would you want that, Antonio?" I looked at Anthonio wh

    Melissa's POVMaybe it wasn't the right thing to do but he was getting to me and I needed to set things straight. Yesterday, at the office. So many things happened but the sexual tension. It... It was strong. "Mummy, I'm going now with Aunty Claudia" When I introduced both of them to themselves, Tonia was more happy to meet someone else from her mother's past that was not a man.I trusted Claudia and I also had tracking device on my child's phone so I wasn't exactly scared one bit. Gerald agreed and I made sure she didn't come with her extra bodyguard into the compound. They can take that shit outside.I didn't want him to get suspicious."Claudia." I hugged her. "I need to get laid. Help me" "You need not tell me, Virgin." She laughed, patting my back. "I popped a child, Claudia." I rolled my eyes at her. "3 hours can do" I yelled."Thank you, Mummy" Tonia hugged me, placing a chaste kiss on my cheek before running to the car."Don't teach my child how to use a gun" I warned her

  • Ex-husband's Grave Mistake    I know what I didn't do

    Melissa's POV"No." I shook my head If looks could kill, I'd be 6 feet under."I am not here on my own accord" She frowned. "When do you plan on leaving our life alone.""When I'm done ruining it" I smiled at Doris. "Welcome to my new office. Tea?" I stood up, walking up to the new Expresso machine I bought few days ago."I wouldn't take chances" She sneered, eyeing me."It was harmless though. I wouldn't leave any traces when I ruin you all. I'm smarter than that" I chuckled, picking my cup of Expresso. "I'd make it snappy" She said, struggling to utter whatever her true intentions were."I'm listening, Doris. I don't have all day, girl." I rolled my eyes. She casted an irritated look my way before muttering it out at a go "antonioandiadoptedachildandwehaveagreedtoreturnit"I looked at her, blinked once and then twice and burst into fits of laughter. She fumed with anger as she stared at me."I knew this was a bad idea" She turned away."Wait. Easyyyy. I didn't fucking hear a thin

  • Ex-husband's Grave Mistake    Pathetic liar

    Antonio's PovI didn't know how to feel after finding out that Melissa wasn't lying about our child dying.I always thought she was trying to hide the fact that Tonia was my child but it seemed as though I got it all wrong."It is not your child. He was mine and mine alone" She growled, standing up and shoving past me."Melissa" I called after her, following her out. "Melissa please, let's talk about it"She stopped abruptly, spinning around like a flash, I almost missed the turn. "Talk about it? Oh now you want to listen?""I..." "Don't fucking talk to me. I don't have anything to fucking tell you" She screamed at me. I deserved it."I'm sorry" I said softly, ashamed.She scoffed in disbelief, marching down back to the tombstone. Just "Rodriguez" was written on it. My heart broke into two as I dug my nails into my palm to feel the pain I was feeling in my chest."I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Your father is sorry. YOUR FATHER IS SORRY!!!!" She screamed. "Antonio, look!" She pointed, laughin

  • Ex-husband's Grave Mistake    I killed our child

    "Work with me. Together we can bring the Rodriguez down" She stared blankly at me.Acting innocent like it wasn't her plan. A mother who covered up her daughters dirty track."You think you can convince me to do such only because you caught my daughter getting laid since her damn impotent husband couldn't do that?" I was taken aback by her sudden anger. "I know what you're doing Mrs. Sinclair. I know why Doris is here. I also know why you brought in Hudson and why you're going to take him down without dragging too much attention to it" I folded my arms, smirking at her from where I sat.Apparently, she had invited me over for a meeting to tell me that she had handled whatever situation I met and Doris still stayed in the company but Hudson leaves and that she'd compensate me or whatever. But here was me negotiating for something better."What do you want?" Her glare hardened as she stared back at me. "Simple. I want you to join hands with me so we can control this company. I don'
