In the name of vows Chapter 24
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR Angela sat alone at her small desk by the executive assistant cubicles. It was still early barely 7 a.m. but Dreamspace’s floor was already busy and filled with persons.. As she drank her coffee she was staring blankly at her computer screen. Emails that were yet to be answered in her inbox, subject lines flashing words like URGENT, RE: SUPPLIER CONTRACT, and BOARDROOM FILES MISSING. She leaned back with a tired sigh, letting her eyes shifting to Christine’s office, where the light was already on indicating Christine was in there already. Again. Does she ever sleep? Angela wondered. The elevator opened softly, and two junior executives from the finance department stepped out, whispering as they walked past. “She looks like who hasn’t eaten in days,” one said, adjusting his tie. “Yeah,” the other replied, pushing his glasses up his nose. “But did you hear what Patel said in the boardroom yesterday?

His team was celebrating downstairs, drinks clinking against glasses in loud victory, but he hadn’t joined them. His mind was elsewhere.On Christine.On her stubbornness.On the way she had chose to constantly provoke him especially this morning when she told him to get out.He leaned back in his chair while removing his tie with a frustrated sigh.

CHAPTER TWENTY TWOCHRISTINES POVChristine almost cancelled twice.The first time was when she got home, she stood under her hot shower and she felt the exhaustion in her while body. The second was when she checked her wardrobe and the only outfits there were professional and work outfits but nothing to wear for a dinner.In the end, she chose a simple black wrap dress that was just below her knees. Which was not too elegant, but neither was it plain. It was armor quiet, dignified, and clear.She decided to leave her hair into a ponytail and applied little makeup, and grabbed her purse with a sigh she left the house.This is not a date, she had to remind herself before stepping out. This is war served on china plates.Adrian’s penthouse was on the top floor in midtown , overlooking the New York City sky. The elevator ride had felt really slow and she had counted each floor she passed to steady herself.When the elevator doors opened, she stepped out into tye apartment which was diml

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE CHRISTINES POV Christine woke up to her alarm waking her up loudly the next morning, though she barely slept. Her dreams had been involving boardroom scenes and also Adrian watching her like a hawk. She showered quickly, dressed in a deep blue dress, and tied her hair into a low bun. The reflection in her mirror looked like she had it all together ,but In her heart she felt weak.. When she arrived at Dreamspace, Angela was already waiting outside her office, tablet in hand. “Morning,” Angela said softly, following Christine inside. Christine dropped her bag onto the side couch and rubbed her temples. “Any updates?” Angela hesitated before speaking. “Adrian’s back.” Christine’s stomach clenched. “When did he get in?” “Late last night, apparently. He has called an executive meeting for 10 AM.” Christine’s chest tightened further. Adrian didn’t waste time, and whatever he’d done on his sudden trip, she knew it was another chess move. Another strategy

CHAPTER TWENTY CHRISTINES POVChristine arrived at Dreamspace before sunrise.She sat in her office, the window half open, allowing the morning light to enter into the office. Stacks of reports and proposals were arranged neatly on her desk but yet she could not focus on any words written on them. Her mind was all over the place.“This will only happen on my terms,” she said to herself, reminding herself of the words she had promised herself.A soft knock interrupted her thoughts. Angela walked in holding two steaming cups. Her hair was tied back and she had this her bright smile that she always have on her face every morning. She looked tired but alert.“Good Morning,” Angela said, setting one of the coffee cups on Christine’s desk. “Let me guess, you didn’t go home last night, did you?”“I did,” Christine lied quickly, avoiding the question, taking a sip from her cup of coffee. The warmth of the coffee soothing her throat. But it did nothing for the ache in her chest.Angela sat op

CHAPTER NINETEEN CHRISTINES POVChristine barely slept.She say at her dining table all night, papers were spread around her like a fortress that she was too tired to maintain. Contracts, board minutes, and the full Dreamspace constitution lay open, marked with pink sticky notes and scribbled annotations.Her eyes burned as daylight crept in through her apartment’s wide windows. She blinked, trying to read the same line again: In the event of a transition of leadership, the incoming CEO must be married before their 25th birthday to inherit all executive and board privileges.She shut the file with a shaky sigh.How could her grandfather, how could her father do this to her? Tie her life so tightly to a contract that she could hardly breathe?A quiet knock on her door, She looked up to see Angela entering quietly , holding two cups of coffee from the cafe downtown.“Good morning,” Angela whispered, eyeing the mess. “Or barely morning.”Christine rubbed her forehead. “Don’t even start.
