I stared at him for a full minute not knowing what to say or how to act. The last time I saw him I was in a hospital bed asking for a divorce from his son. That was a while ago. I prepared myself mentally to meet with a client about to purchase a painting, not the father of my ex-husband.

Was he even the client I was speaking to?

I couldn’t tell

“Are you going to show me the painting?” He asked

“You are the client?” I asked

“Why else would I be here?” He asked

“Well then, I would be back” I ga

    AXELWhy did she have so much hatred in her eyes whenever she spoke to me?And there was Rickon, acting all high and mighty, he didn’t know her more than I did. He was the reason why she acted that way towards me.He must have fueled her hatred towards me and made her see me like the devil. She hated me, but the fire in her eyes whenever she spoke to me drew me closer to her. It made me want to be around her even more.I never knew she had so much fire burning within her and every time she opened her mouth to throw words at me she looked so goddamn sexy. It took a lot for me to keep it together.“Where to sir?” My secretary asked behind the steering wheelsI let out a sigh, thinking about it for a moment. It was also the end of work hours, and I didn’t have anything else to do at the office for the rest of the day, but I didn't want to head home, at least not yet. The idea of being the same space as Lianna got me fucking riled up.“The office” I finally saidIt felt like the only bett

    RAEI suddenly heard a knock on my door, and before I could answer, it slowly opened. I didn’t look up at first just thinking it was Jack but after a few seconds passed and I didn’t hear a word from him. I looked up and I felt a strong surge of anger fill my body instantly “What do you want?” I asked through my gritted teeth“Is that how you speak to your clients?” He asked with a stupid smirk at the corner of his mouth“You have one minute to speak before I call the security” I grabbed the landline on the table ready to hit dial“I am here for business, going to offer me a seat?” He let himself in then went ahead to pull out a chair and dared to sit “Please leave” I quickly got up and pointed to the door“You don’t care to hear me out?” He asked“If you are here to get an artwork or for viewing there are people who would attend to you leave my office” I glared at him “Stop trying to act stubborn and listen” he sternly said and that made me even more mad than I already was“Are you

    AXELI was so angry I could hear my heart beating intensely in my eardrums with one swipe pushing down everything on my table and they all crashed to the ground, some of the glass items shattering into pieces.The door suddenly opened and my secretary stood holding a box.“What the fuck are you doing standing there?!” I shouted“I want to turn in my badge” he said“Who said you were fired” I glared at him“Fucking drop that shit and come pick this shit up” I hissed“Yes sir” he tossed the box to the side and rushed in to clear the messI kicked my seat and got to my feet pacing around the office with my hand in my hair yanking it angrily. I have tried to be respectful and act like a husband but she has taken that for granted countless times. She didn’t care that there was someone in the office with us and she went ahead to disrespect me in front of my fucking secretary.What sort of life is that?When I was with Rae, she never spoke to me like that and I never did anything for her.“D

    RAEI was in a meeting with the auctioneer whom Rickon hired out to host the auction of Mitchell's artworks. I didn’t realize it was a whole career for some people and most galleries that deal strongly in auctions hire more than one as staff so they could host their events. She looked very in tune with art and everything about the way she spoke to the pricing team about how much the appraisal was and what would be a good starting bid.It made me jealous just watching her speak. Not jealous in a bad way, I just admired her and how knowledgeable she was about art. I mean it was her job and it’s only right she was. If only I could be in tune just the way she was, it would make me feel like less of a fraud, I mean I try my best to study, take online courses but it can never be the same as actually getting the degree.I could pretend like I didn’t care but I knew everyone was thinking it, Joan said it out and she wasn’t wrong. I would give anything to blend in, even the way I was quiet whi

    RAEI was over the moon, although people kept whispering that it wasn't worth the price, but I didn't care. I was very proud of myself. It was something I got to do.I fucking did it!My journey up to that point was unpredictable, when I was in that hotel room trying to find a job listing on the internet. Never in a million years did I think I was going to buy the damn building or ever be able to afford it.I was directed to an office where I would make the payment and get the paperwork done.I made sure I thoroughly read the papers before signing them and just like that it was over. Papers of ownership and every other thing were handed over to me. I felt a strong sense of fulfillment and it felt really good. A lot of people might not agree with spending such an amount on a building that was on its last leg. I mean I could put that money into getting a house for myself but I didn't regret my decision one bit.I decided I was going to hold off getting a house for a bit. The remaining

    “What are you talking about?” she asked“Oh my fucking God, why are you here?” I held my chest. “You just appeared out of nowhere.”“There is a slut by your secretary’s desk,” she said. “Who is she?”I looked up from my screen at her, confused, trying to process what she was even saying because she had appeared out of nowhere and nearly scared the life out of me.“I was around the corner and decided to stop by. Why are you so jumpy?” she laughed as she sat on the couch.I stayed quiet while she stared between my secretary and me.“So who is that bitch by your desk?” she asked again. “Why is she there with all her boobs out? What the hell is she trying to do?”“She’s a temporary assistant,” I answered“On your floor dressed like that?” she pressedI went quiet rolling my eyes at her“About the building, has it been cleared?” She suddenly turned to my secretaryMy secretary immediately looked at me and silence filled the office.“Why are both of you quiet?” she snapped “I asked a ques

    “You can park right here” I mumbled “Here?” He asked looking at the dilapidated building and back to me “Yes” I whispered in shame “Alright” he didn’t ask any more questions and parked just like I asked “Thank you” I gave an awkward head bow before slipping out of the car I hope he won’t

    “I didn’t do anything I promise” I quickly said, raising my hand in surrender. He just stared at me intensely with a blank expression on his face. I couldn't tell if he was angry or not but who wouldn’t be when I somehow destroyed the work that had been done? I couldn’t even begin to explain how i

    AXEL I was seated in my office buried in work I needed to get rid of. I worked like I wasn’t the CEO of the damn company. My father made me work like a staff under his payroll, it got even worse when I got married to Lianna, as if it was his way of punishing me. He didn’t do anything to stop t

    When I stepped out of the interview room, the candidates who were asked to leave were standing just by the entrance, and the minute I stepped out an eerie silence followed. I turned my eyes to the floor walking out slowly, too ashamed to even move my legs properly.“I can’t believe she is actually
