LOGIN"What's your name?" He asked, making the managers go shut at once. They followed his gaze and it landed on Mallory. Mallory felt her soul being pierced. Did he just ask for her name? Her Wilder didn't even know her name? "Uh... her name is..." "Let her speak for herself, Arlo" Wilder raised his hand at his cousin who zipped up at once. Then, reluctantly, Mallory muttered: "I'm Mallory Harrington." Wilder said nothing, his gaze on her unreadable. Then, she asked. "Don't you... remember me?" "Am I... supposed to know you?" Wilder asked with an unfeigned doubt. This broke Mallory even more. How can her Wilder not recognize her? Her next breath came raggedly, she had to drop her teary gaze to the floor. "How can you not remember me?" She winced. "We were..." ********** What happens when Mallory goes to work one morning and discovers the new CEO who was the soon-to-be heir to one of the richest companies in the world was her ex-husband who had been missing for seven years? How does she tell him she used to be married to him before he went missing? How does she tell him she was still very much in love with him and wanted him back in her life, even if there was someone else? How does she tell him she had twins at home that looked like him? How does she tell him any of these when he couldn't recognize her and acted very cold towards her? What happened to her Wilder?
View MoreMallory assisted Wilder with all he had to do for the day. But it was extremely sad for her that he barely looked her way.She could feel it. He was mad at her.When it was time for her kids to leave school, Mallory hated the fact that she had to call Ronan for help. Her workplace was very far from her kids' school. And since it was still work hours, it was against the rules for her to leave the company. She had no other person to call for help except Ronan who was a boss of his own and could easily send someone off to pick them.When she called and told him, he was glad to help. She knew he'd be.Seated on her desk, she stared at Wilder from the transparent glass. She wondered what his reaction would be if he got to learn of the kids. Would he accept them? Perhaps, he'd go to pick them up from school himself.She closed her eyes and fantasized on ho
A while later, being a little calm, she picked up her phone and began calling her sister - Zara. It's been two weeks, yet there's been no word from her. It wasn't the first time Zara was being a bitch and staying away from home, but the family was still yet to get used to it. So, each time, it got them very worried. Zara was their youngest sister. From young, she was fond of mingling with the wrong people. It had been of great concern to their parents when they were alive. From time to time, Zara had gotten into trouble and would need their assistance. Now, it was getting worse. Luckily, Zara's phone went through when Mallory tried calling, but she didn't pick up. Mallory gave her six calls, but none was answered. She proceeded to arrange the files Wilder would be needing at the meeting. She was almost done when Arlo showed up, stopping at her table. "Hey, miss hard-to-get." He taunted, wearing a leering smile. Mallory suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. "Good morning, Mr. Ar
Mallory didn't realize when her hand moved to Isla's cheek, giving her a slap. It came as a shock, Isla gasped as she held her cheek."Don't ever give such derogatory remarks about my kids—ever again," she warned, her index finger quivering as she pointed it at her.Isla's eyes widened in shock."How dare you?" She yelled and yanked Mallory's hair.Mallory didn't relent as she equally yanked her hair, and nosily, the two ladies got involved in a hair fight.Their voices attracted grandma Heather who came running up the staircase."Hey! What is wrong with you two?! Stop it! Stop it now!" She reprimanded and managed to pull them apart. Mallory's fine bun had become a mess."Are you two crazy? How dare you fight under my roof?" Heather scoffed, but the two ladies simply glared at each other, Is
His eyes narrowed, then that deep expression of anger and irritation crawled in.Mallory was befogged. Why was Wilder in that mood?She looked at Ronan and found him equally angry. Both men looked like they'd be throwing punches at each other if they were locked up in a room."Hey," Ronan cocked his head. "Long time no see."Wilder glared without uttering a word. Slowly, he shifted his gaze to Mallory."How're you associated with someone like him, Miss Harrington?" His voice held irritation, it caused Mallory's brows to crease."She's actually my woman." Ronan put his hand around her waist, screaming dominance.Mallory stiffened instantly, her heart beating loudly in her chest. What in God's name?!Guiltily, she looked at Wilder and saw hate in his eyes."Your woman?" He scoffed and nodded. "It's ironic, isn't it? The good ones always meet the bad ones. Or perhaps, she isn't the good one."Mallory nearly gasped at his words. No No No. How could Wilder even say that to her face?Ronan

Mallory dropped the kids off at school before proceeding to her place of work.
