He looked like he was trying to recollect, and then his face brightened up like he remembered what he was thinking about." I do remember what happened two days ago," he spoke up, and I sighed in relief. " Quick, tell me what I need to know. Do you also know why there was a power outage?" I asked nervously, and he nodded. "Well..."" Well, 2 nights ago, the boss went out with his friends, and they drank to stupor.We were on our way to the reserved hotel when he suddenly told me to drive home so I could pick up some documents. When we got home, he stayed back in the car, and as I stepped in, the lights went off. I went to check what was wrong but couldn't find any, so I called an electrician. He hurried over and fixed it." He revealed, and I frowned. The information he just provided is not valid.' If he stayed back in the car, then who came into my room?' I thought my frown deepened, and I sighed heavily." Ma'am?" He called out jolting me out of my thoughts." Yes." " Is everythi
I was about to leave when someone called out to me, " Chubby!" I felt blood drain from my body.Only one person calls me that, I could recognise that voice even in my sleep. I haven't seen the person in years, and I had prayed not to see the person for the rest of my life, but it seems like nature had it plans against me today!!!My palms felt sweaty all of a sudden, I didn't dare to turn around. I decoded to pretend like I was not the one that was called, I turned around with my eyes set to the ground and began walking towards the described direction. " Come on, chubby! Are you still mad at me?" He asked, his voice laced with sarcasm. I ignored him and continued walking, but he walked briskly towards me and moved to my front, I turned around to leave, but he caught my hand in a tight grip.I struggled to break free, but it was useless, I took a deep breath in and turned to stare at him.He still has the usual stupid grin on his face!" Hello, Chubby! We meet again!" He mutter
RHEA'S POV The elevator made different stops, and people began trooping in.I began to feel claustrophobic, but I endured with the hope of getting to my destination as soon as possible. They all began to whisper secretly while turning around to stare at me repeatedly. I suddenly became nervous, my palms felt sweaty, and I pinched myself so hard so I could calm down.'Ding' the elevator soon sounded, and they began making their way out, but i stayed behind. My destination is still two floors above.Immediately, they all left, I let out a huge sigh of relief. ' I wonder why they were all staring at me back then!' I thought worriedly. The elevator soon came to a stop after my destination, and I shrugged it off.I practice a little breathing exercise before deciding to step out.I walked briskly towards my destination, I stiffly greeted everyone who passed by my side. My mood was already ruined this morning, and the incident that happened earlier
EMILIANO'S POV She smiled smugly, catwalking towards me. I sat back and stared at her in disgust." Speak up or leave my presence!" I commanded, staring down at my computer. " Relax brother in law. You don't have to be so cold to me!" I glared at her, and she kept her mouth shut." Well, what I want to talk to you about is very vital to you, I wouldn't want you to be cheated by my sister," she said pitifully, and I frowned. She took a peek at me to see my reaction before she began sniffing." You don't know, my sister took my place to get married to you! I was supposed to be the one married to you!" She revealed tearfully, and I stared at her blankly." Is that the important thing you have to tell me?" I asked, feeling disgusted about her behaviour. " No, that is not the only thing I have to tell you," she replied, taking a deep breath in and wiping her tears." You see, I am sick, and only my sister's blood matches with mine buy she stubbornly refused
Rhea's povI sigh tiredly as my fingers type fast on the keyboard, ' that stupid team leader intentionally gave me a lot of work!' I thought, snorting in annoyance. My fingers felt cramped up, so I stretched my body tiredly. Two hours later, I was finally able to get the work done. My eyes were dropping on thier own, I was so tired I could sleep at work but I had to go home.I stood up and packed my stuff, I left the office and began walking towards the parking lot." Good night, madam." One of the security guards that was passing by greeted." Good night, sir," I responded, waving at him.I settled in my car and drove off, heading home.I pulled up and hopped out of the car. Immediately I got in, I was met with my family, all seated in the living room discussing. They clearly haven't figured out that I was home yet, I cleared my throat loudly, making them jump in thier seat.I frowned my face in confusion, wondering why they were startled.Rachel, my step sister seemed angry but w
" Oh darling! You are not getting married to me but someone else!" He continued still smiling widely that I almost found it creepy. " Who would I be getting married to then?" I asked, getting impatient at the suspense." you would be getting married to my son" he revealed making my eyes almost bulge out.I looked beside me, trying to find answers from Stella and my father but they looked away and I scoffed loudly. I laughed gently, " I'm sorry sir but I think you are mistaken! I do not have a boyfriend so I don't think I'd be getting married to anyone anytime soon" I explained. " I know darling, I want you to get married to my son. You might not know him but you'd love him when you meet him" he said reassuringly. " Dad! What the heck is he saying! Please explain to him that I would koto be getting married to anyone, at least not now!" I urged my dad." Honey, please listen to me! You have to get married to his son. Its for the good of the family " my father whispered in my ear ple
" You have no choice but to do as I say or else!" He threatened. " Or else what!" I replied without around. " You'd hat me for what I would do to her!" He concluded and I froze in shock.I turned around sharply and met with his murderous stare." What do you mean by that?" I asked curiously." I'm sure you know what I mean! I can destroy your mother's life with just a word.I raised my head up sharply you could almost hear my neck snap." you would do no such thing!" I roared, tears blinding my eyes." Watch me! " he threatened glaring intently at me making me shiver at the amount of hate I saw in his eyes. " What have I ever done to deserve this?" I asked choking on my tears." The mistake you made was having a slut like Marilyn as a mother who would do anything for money" Stella retorted making me more angrier." Don't you dare call my mother a slut! You should take a good look at yourself before talking about someone else!" I shouted heaving out angrily." How dare you!" She sho
EMILIANO'S POVI twirled the pen in between my hand as I listen to the trash one of my staff was blurting in the board room.My gaze turned colder by the minute, I was beginning to get frustrated. When I finally couldn't take it anymore, I banged the table loudly making them jolt in fear." What the hell is this?" I roared, I could see her shaking on a spot as more fear consumed her and I felt satisfied. I was a kind of person who loved when people fear me."Raymond!" I called out and my personal assistant rushed towards me." Yes boss" he answered bowing next to me." Give them all thier paycheck and have them fired" I muttered lazily. I hate incompetent people, they knew better than to plead with me so they just left with a solemn look on thier face.I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose feeling frustrated. Rrrrring, my phone blarred out and I picked it up to see the caller id, I groan deeply seeing it was my mom." What does this woman want from me again!" I muttered to my
