LESLIE'S POV

My head stayed pressed against the window as I fought against my curiosity. I had no right to dive into his private life like that.

But still, Diana's last words and the look in her eyes when she said them haunted me.

“What is it?"

I glanced at Saint in question. “What do you mean?"

"You keep sighing and sneaking glances at me. You obviously want to ask me something,” he explained.

I bit down on my lips. Could I? Should I?

"I was just wondering who that woman was.” I didn't both

    LESLIE’S POVHe stared at me with widened eyes for a minute and I shifted uneasily on my foot. I just wasn't ready to part with him yet so I asked him. Was I too forward?“You…you don't have to, if you don't want to.” I scrambled to say. “Thank you for driving me home. If you…” I got cut off when he jumped out of the car and hurried to me. "Woah.”"Can I really come in?” His face stretched in a wide grin.I chuckled and slipped my hand in his. I've wanted to do that all day. "Of course, you can.”His thumb caressed the back of my hand. "But your mum…I'm empty handed. I can run to the store real quick to get a gift for her." “It's okay. I'm sure she would be excited to see you regardless. You can get something next time." I pulled him into the complex and towards the elevator. I chuckled as he wringed his hands all the way up, his body taut with tension. “Calm down, would you?" “What if she does not like me?" “I have not seen her dislike anybody." I walked to the door. “I actually t

    SAINT’S POVMy eyes stayed wide open as her soft lips stayed pressed to mine. Was I yearning for her so much that I conjured her up? She pulled away and winked before walking up the stairs to sit at the back while I stared after her like a fool. I cleared my throat and took my seat, even though my heart pounded in my chest.“What's going on? The news said they are getting divorced, right?" “I'm shocked as well. No couple about to get divorced kisses like that.”"So we've been duped by the news.”The murmurs of the directors close to me reached my ears and I smirked. I ended up taking help from Leslie. "Decorum, please. The results will be out soon so let's all wait patiently for it.” The chairperson spoke into the mic.I grabbed my phone and opened my chat wall with Leslie while we waited. It has been a while since any message was sent between us. I chewed on my lips and wondered if I should send one to her now.While I thought about it, a message came in from her and I almost jump

    SAINT’S POVI stood in front of the floor to ceiling window in my office, my eyes trained on the calmness of the city down there. Everyone seemed to have somewhere to be, living different lives that I would never know.“Why did I never realize how beautiful this view was?" I sighed. Why realize it now when it was on the verge of being taken away from me?My jaw clenched and I turned away just as Gerald walked in the room. “President, all board members are on seats. They are waiting for you to begin the meeting.”“What about what I told you to do?" “Everyone is on standby, waiting for your signal." I pulled my suit jacket off its hanger and pulled it on. “Let's go." I buried my hands in my pocket as I walked to the board room, pushing all my worries to the back. I was prepared for whatever they wanted to throw at meThe chattered-filled room fell into the silence as I pushed the door open and stepped in. I didn't look at anyone's face until I was seated in my assigned seat.I locked

    LILIANA’S POVA smug smile that I couldn't seem to wipe off sat on my lips as I watched my friends suck up to me. Ah, this was the gathering that I had missed. In the club with my friends who knew that it was their good fortune to be associated with me and reminded themselves of this at every turn. “Your good fortune can simply not be taken for granted," Gianna gushed. “Not even up to a year since you married Mitch and you already elevated the second family so much.”“Hey." I waved her off. “I didn't do much. I was just lucky to marry someone as ambitious as I am. Since I met Mitch, I knew both of our lives wouldn't remain the same if we got together. It was my instinct.”"You made the right call, then." Kelly held my hand. “Now look, tomorrow he will be made the President of the Baxter group as well as the head of the clan. He would be the most respected man in the country." "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The directors have not even decided yet.” I shook my head and used my han

    SAINT’S POVI fixed my cufflinks as I stood in front of Leslie's- now cleared out- vanity's mirror. My jaw clenched when I grabbed my tie, knowing she would have hurried to help me even though she didn't know how to tie it.“President, are you there?”My head snapped to my phone as I remembered I was on a call with Gerald. I cleared my throat and moved closer to the device. "Yes, I got carried away with something. What did you say?”“I said the PR team is on standby. They are waiting for your instructions to proceed with the statement and countermeasures.”"There is no need for that.” I adjusted my tie until I was satisfied. "They should remain on standby and do nothing for now. They have been working overtime because of me lately.”"Public outrage is quite high right now and stocks are dropping. This is not time to ignore and let matters die down, President. We have to clear both you and Mrs Baxter’s name." His agitated voice rose through the speakers.“The pictures were taken from i

    LILIANA’S POV“You really delivered more than I expected, Mr Vince.” I clicked glasses with him. "The whole nation is in shock right now. I bet they didn't see that coming.”“I should be the grateful one for reserving such a juicy exclusive for me," he grinned. “We got more clicks and reads than we've ever gotten since we established." “As soon as I stumbled on it, I knew you were the perfect man on the job. Continue to stock the fire and make use of word of mouth as well. Baxter Empire’s PR team is the best in the business and the news would be nowhere to be found once they get started.” I leaned in closer. “But they can't shut people's mouths, can they?" “I understand, Miss Webster," he nodded.“Good. May we have more seamless partnerships in future.” I downed my drink and stood up. "I have to leave now. Things have been very busy for me lately.”“Of course." He stood and bowed. “Have a nice night, ma'am." I left the restaurant and sent a quick message to Mitch letting him know I
