At their mercy
Time flew by quicker than Chester expected. However, when Friday morning arrived, he had a bright smile on his face the moment he saw Carmen approaching his desk.
“Good morning, boss.” Chester brightly said.
“You looked bubbly this morning,” Carmen replied as she walked past him.
Chester’s eyes then lit up when he noticed that his boss slightly smiled at him before walking away, and that had his heart racing.
He then jumped up to his feet and followed Carmen into her office.
‘She finally warmed up to me. Yes! Yes!’ Chester excitedly thought as he waited for his boss to acknowledge his presence.
Carmen then looked away from her phone and stared at Chester, and in that instant, she immediately felt lost of words when she noticed him giggling to himself.
“What are you happily smiling about?” Carmen asked.
“Uh?” Chester absentmindedly mumbled.
“Is

Carmen was laying in bed awake when the first light of day peep through her room window. She then rolled over to the left to avoid the sunlight.“It's finally here,” Carmen mumbled.After waiting and preparing for two days, she finally felt confident to snatch the Davis company out of their hands.The moment the clock hit six-thirty, Carmen was already out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Then by six-fifty, she came out with a bath towel wrapped around her body.Before seven-fifteen, Carmen was already dressed in a white luxury suit with black heels.She then painted her lips with red lipstick, designed her eyelids with smokey makeup, wore diamond jewelers, and styled her hair in a classic updo.“Perfect,” Carmen mumbled with a smile as she gazed at herself in the dresser mirror before grabbing her purse and leaving her room.It was exactly seven-thirty when Carmen walked out of her house.&ldqu

Liam could see hate in Carmen's eyes as she stared at him, and yet he could also see the deep pain she tried to hide behind her cold expression.“Mrs. Smith, I don't understand your statement,” Levi said with a stiff smile on his face.“What part of ‘you are fire’ don't you understand?” Carmen hastily asked.“But… But this is my company.”“The last time I check, I hold the majority shares in this company, and I find you incompetent for the position that you hold, so you have to leave.”Levi gazed at the others. However, no one spoke on his behalf, and for a while, the conference room was silent. Then he intensely gazed at Scott Johnson.“Even though you hold a majority of the shares in the company, don't you think it is disrespectful to fire the chairman of the company without the other board members' involvement.” Scott abruptly and aggressively intoned with a bit of fear in his eyes.“Mr. Johnson, that's some bold attitude you have t

Then he stood up and headed to answer the door.When Liam did, his eyes widened in shock as his mother pushed him aside and walked straight past him, causing Liam to lose his balance for a second.“Get dressed now!” Lina said as she marched further into the hallway.“Mom!” Liam called out while following after Lina with shock on his face.“We have to plead for Carmen's forgiveness!”“Mom!”“She will take you back! I know it! That girl loves you! We just have to pursued her a bit!”“Woman!”Liam's voice was so loud, so thunderous, that his mother stopped dead in her tracks. Liam then gently

Footsteps of ten security guards boots echoed in the lobby as they raced towards Carmen.“Yes, Boss.” The head of the guard shouted.Then he paused and waited on Carmen’s command.“Please escort Mrs. Davis and her son out of the building.” Carmen coldly stated.“Liam was wrong! But it's also that witch's fault. Please, don't punish him anymore. What you are doing is tearing my family apart!” Lina cried.“Mom! Stop it!” Liam roared with rage burning in his eyes.The building got absolutely quiet, and in the midst of the silence, Carmen’s eyes were directly focused on Liam as she struggled to understand his anger and the source of it.For a brief moment, Carmen could see vulnerability in his gaze, and at this point, she almost felt pity towards him. Then the image of Ali hugging onto Liam's body flashed across her mind, and that's all it took to get her heart cold.“Mr. Davis please leave with your mother. This is a place of work, not a

The hall of an extravagant restaurant was quite packed on this particular night as five years old Liam sat obediently at table seven with his mother seated by his side.“Mom, are we not going to order?I am hungry.” Liam pitifully mumbled with his hand pressed tightly against his stomach.“Stop being ungrateful. You ate instant noodles this morning.” Lina said while trying to not lose her patient in such a fancy place.“Yeah. But that was this morning.It's now dark, and I haven't eaten anything since then.”“Stop being a brat or else you can forget about eating for two days.”Liam’s tiny hands held tightly onto his stomach everytime it grumbled because he was afraid that his mother would hear it and

After reviewing the file that Hunter sent her, Carmen took in a deep breath before leaning back in her seat. Then she clicked on her mouse and switched her computer off.When the screen became dark, Carmen could see her reflection staring back at her, and at that moment, the tears that she had been resisting came trailing down her cheeks.But after a second passed, Carmen angrily wiped her tears, then her expression became numb again as she stared back at her reflection.“He could have told me it all! He could have been open with me! He could have let me help him! But he chose not to. So none of this concerns me.” Carmen frustratingly mumbled.With so much running through her head, she leaned back in her seat and gazed directly at the ceiling before slowly shutting her eyes.Carmen didn't know how long she had been napping for, but when she opened her eyelids, Chester was staring at her with concern in his expression.“How long have you been here

The alarm clock on the bed stand screamed and vibrated when the shorthand hit seven o'clock.However, Carmen didn't move a muscle even though she had been awake all night, and although she was tired, sleep wouldn't take control of her because her heart and mind were consumed by her hurt.After minutes had passed the alarm finally went silent. But that still didn't convince Carmen to get out of bed even though she knew that it was seven-forty and that's why the alarm stopped.For two minutes, Carmen slightly opened her eyes but then the darkness circling the room caused her to shut her eyelids again.Somehow within that instant, she felt glad that she drew all the curtains in her room closed, blocking every bit of sunlight from creeping through the window.Although her eyelids were tightly shut, tears still escaped from the corner of her eyes and rolled down her chin.Carmen quickly wiped her face, and yet more tears kept flowing until she go
