MasukRAEEverything froze for a minute when that window rolled down and Lianna was behind it. She didn’t look surprised or moved to see me. Instead, she wore a smile that almost looked like she was excited to see me but I knew better.“Move away from my car please don’t rub your stench over it” she placed my finger under my noseRealizing that I was standing there for a full minute without saying a word, I quickly cleared my throat and snapped myself out of it.“Why are you here?” “Am I not allowed to be here? Isn’t this a public road?” She asked with a smirk“This is all you, isn’t it?” I asked. When I thought about who could be behind the disruption, my mind immediately went to Karen. I wonder why I didn’t immediately realize that it had to be the fucking psycho couples. The two people who didn’t know how to take defeat and fucking move on.That should have been my first guess “What are you insinuating?” She cackled “That you and your Godforsaken husband can’t swallow your loss and yo
LIANNAI found out that the building Rae acquired, which was supposed to be mine, had already started construction. I couldn’t sit still and watch that happen if I wasn’t going to get it then no one else would get it. I didn’t care if the building ended up remaining abandoned and untouched forever as long as I didn’t get to have it no one else would.It didn’t take anything from me to gather a bunch of men desperate for cheap change to stop the construction workers from working, destroying everything they had worked on and their tools. It went on like that for a few days and whenever the workers tried to fight back I pressed even harder, hiring more people and doing it all over again.It got to the point where it looked like a bunch of protesters were against what they wanted to do. They surrounded the building in a chain, chanting and blocking their path. They basically camped there overnight so they couldn’t be moved.It was fun to watch. I liked taking a drive over there and watchi
I sent the final draft of the auction setup and arrangements to Mitchell just to keep him in the loop, the planning was over all that was left was the main day to come along.The text read immediately after I sent it and the first thing he did was ask if I was doing okay. If Mitchell who was at the other side of the world knew what was going on, it meant everyone else did too.“I am perfect Mitchell, go through everything in case you would like to make a change” I texted backI stared at the phone for a bit waiting for a response but instead I got a call from Jane Langley, it rang so loud that I almost jumped from my seat. I scanned my brain for a full minute trying to think what the problem could be and what she could be calling for.Did she hear about the scandal and want to take her hand off the building?That was the only thing I could think ofIt rang continuously but I didn’t pick up, immediately after it stopped ringing it started all over again.There had to be something goin
RAE I angrily shook her hand off my shoulder and she let out a little chuckle as she walked away.“Whoa,” Jack walked out of the elevator at that time “Are you okay? What happened?” He asked looking down at meI didn’t say a word to him, just dumped my bag on the floor and walked towards Rickon. “Let’s talk” I was ahead of him to the door of his office waiting for him to open up“What’s going on” I could hear Jack whispering behind me“You are not going to open?” I turned to him when he didn’t move from where he was standing“Fine then let’s talk here” I folded my hand over my chest trying to keep my voice down“What did she say to you?” I asked“What was it about?”“Why was she here? What did she want?”My heart was thudding so hard in my chest, I didn’t like the fact that he acknowledged her enough to have a conversation with her or whatever it was. She didn’t look pissed when she walked out of his office and if she were dismissed she wouldn’t have had a smile on her face.Also,
I walked over to my table took my seat while she watched me closely. I clasped my hands together over the table waiting for her to say something. “Is this how you treat your guest?” she asked“Get straight to it, I don't have all day” I glanced at my wrist“Why did you feel the need to ‘clear’ the air?” she asked“Is that why you are here?” I asked with raised brows“That is just by the way” she brushed it off“I raised Rae the best way I could possibly do, she turned out to be something else but she understands what family is” she said“After the passing of my husband, God rest his soul” she fanned her face like she was fanning tears away but her eyes were as clear as day“She was the one who kept the house running, she worked really hard to keep everything together” she casually said like it wasn't the most absurd shit to mention nonchalantly“Having a child would only put loads of pressure on her” she added“So what are you saying?” I asked“That is your child, it isn't just about
RICKONThe only time I checked my phone was to see the reaction to the ‘statement’ I made. Jack wanted to go for a lengthy post explaining but I didn't have the patience for that so I did it my own way anyway which seemed pretty efficient. It might not take the public noise away but it would keep the monstrous Alistairs away from her just so she could feel at rest again.It was really unlike me to be bothered about what someone had going on. Not only was I bothered I was deeply disturbed about the fact that I was sitting still without doing anything about what was going on. I felt extremely useless, a feeling I resented so much.Seeing her worry and breakdown just ticked something inside of me. I didn't know what it was but I knew I had to do something at least. Jack is also actively bringing down blogs and taking down comments but that was just like a drop of water added to the sea. The comments kept multiplying fueled with hate and rage and they couldn't be traced.I couldn't sleep
I was so happy that I skipped out the door into the empty street on top of the world that I managed to do it. Although I didn't have a game plan when I got into that cab, I managed to get it done somehow. I was supposed to be worried about facing Rickon for not meeting up at the agreed time.But I
“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
“Take this and get the hell out of my house” he roughly grabbed my hand and forced a black card into my palm“Like I said I don’t need a dime from you” I didn’t go back on my word He had insulted me continuously, saying that I was a gold digger out for his money and I never needed his money. I did
