41 - My place, or your place
"She's my best friend and I love her," Griffin gulped down a glass of fruit juice.
Angie stopped eating and folded her arms to her chest, giving him a quizzical look. "You know what I'm talking about."
Griffin found Angie's gaze on him so intense, he couldn't hide it. "Please don't tell her," he finally said.
Now it was Angie's turn to feel a twitch in her heart. She thought she had gotten over her feelings for Griffin, only to realise it was just covered, to be uncovered. "Now we are keeping secrets."
"Please I don't want you to tell her before I do," Griffin begged her.
"How long have you been in love with her?"
"I don't know. I guess I always have. I just haven't realized it because,"
"Penelope kept you occupied?"
"Perhaps. Everything between me and Penelope has been sex. I just realized we didn't have a connection. I couldn't even cry when she left me. I guess I wasn't as pained as when Nathan took Mercedes' first tim

Mercedes heard a knock on her door as soon as she entered her office from Nathans'. She opened it to see a tall handsome man with curly dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes. From how formally dressed he was, she could tell he was here to see Nathan. Before she welcomed him, he extended his hand, "Luke Zion, the new vice president and you are?" "Mercedes Winters, assistant to the president," she smiled and responded. "You must be the first. The Nathan I know doesn't accept female assistants." Mercedes already knew that. "Well, lucky me. I will let him know that you are here," Mercedes said after letting him in and shutting the door. "Let me save you the trouble," Luke was saying when, "Luke," Nathan seethed. Neither Mercedes nor Luke could tell for how long he had been there. "Nathan, we finally met again and got to work together," Luke bloomed with excitement. Nathan turned dismal, "I'm not your friend and will never be. Our r
Mr President's Wild Obsession 43 - Blessed with two beautiful women
Mercedes had gotten used to Nathan purchasing everything she wore therefore, she wasn't surprised they were delivered but what she didn't expect was Griffin sending her a parcel for the occasion as well. His message was simple. 'You've done this for me for as long as I can remember. Please wear this to make me happy tonight.' Her mind was plagued with confusion. Griffin had sent an outfit for Angie as well therefore, it was just natural for Angie to insist that she wore the dress Griffin got her. However, Mercedes knew that Nathan would be displeased. She hadn't seen Griffin in a while and still had the friendship bond with him. She bought him so many clothes and he was just returning a favour. Well, Mercedes hatched a master plan with Angie's help. Life was full of so many incidences but it was also believed, that there was nothing like a coincidence. Everything was already pre-programmed and whatever will be will be. It wasn't a shocker that the qualifying companie
Mr President's Wild Obsession 44 - Stop giving other men attention
The music had changed and Nathan was holding Mercedes so close, she naturally relaxed, her head was on his chest. Griffin was dancing with Angie but couldn't control his spite, moving Angie away from the dance floor, to the garden to talk instead. Jane was boiling like a pot of soup. She couldn't concentrate on the dance steps and kept stepping on Luke, who kept swallowing the pain and forcing awkward smiles. "You know you shouldn't be dancing with me right?" Mercedes lifted her head and asked Nathan, staring into his eyes. Nathan was so smitten, he couldn't keep to the rules of not being seen in public. He dared the outcome. "I could have controlled it if only you stopped doing things to make me jealous." Mercedes pulled away slightly to check his facial expression. It was indeed serious. She didn't know that Nathan would be so jealous of Griffin. But why should she feel guilty? Was it her fault that she couldn't be seen with him in public and couldn't appea
Mr President's Wild Obsession 45 - I'm not leaving anymore.
Mercedes felt triumphant, as she sat in her car and drove to the penthouse. Griffin and Angie were still sleeping but her presence woke them. "Where did you go?" Griffin asked, seeing her dressed casually with her car key in hand. "To see Nathan," she said truthfully. Griffin was furious. "After all, he did to you?" He didn't hide the anger in his voice but was amazed when he heard her next words. "I ended things with him. Here," she pressed the dollar note into Griffin's palm. Both Griffin and Angie were shocked. Nathan Legend let her go without any conditions. Perhaps he would accept and marry Jane after all. "So you'll return the car and we have to move out of here?" Angie asked. Mercedes hadn't thought about that. She was so hasty. If she pulled out of the deal, then she should naturally return his gifts, right? Thinking through everything was so exhausting. "I will return it but not today. I need to sleep." She sat on the bed when Griffin
Mr President's Wild Obsession 46 - Are you putting yourself in voluntary slavery?
Some people are known to strive through every challenge easily, making others think they were superhuman. Everyone had a breaking point but it depended on what could trigger them to that point. Mercedes must have triggered Nathans'. She saw him be so strong, forgetting he was human with emotions just like her. She never understood that whenever her heartbeat once, Nathans' doubled. The day he held her hand to his chest, he wanted her to read the beat, that it matched hers but she missed it.That night when she left him in a vulnerable state, Nathan hoped that she wouldn't leave but when he heard the door shut, he knew it was over. Everyone was different, with a different fate. Some people were opportune with multiple partners to choose from but some were only destined with one. Mercedes was like the candle that lit his heart, bringing it out of the dark tunnel.Unfortunately, she also became the cold air that blew out the candle of his heart. Nathan couldn't take it. H
Mr President's Wild Obsession 47 - You are giving up the company for your Misstress?
Mercedes' mending of her affair with Nathan seemed like a breakthrough to him. He needed to take care of a few things in NL Towers but with his father and Luke being around, he couldn't leave things in the hands of either of them.He couldn't also represent both companies. Whereas, e could leave Mercedes to be his eyes and ears in Legend Incorporated but how could he leave her with a ravenous wolf like Luke?His move during the dinner told Nathan that his warning didn't sit well with him, which left him with the hard choice of making Mercedes travel alone to NL Towers. He trusted her enough to handle his company anyway. Besides, she was soon going to be co-owner so she had to handle it like it's hers.The last time they were there together, her suggestions were great. Mercedes agreed wholeheartedly on the condition that she was allowed to spend two days with her mum and brother which Nathan agreed to.Well, the greatest fear for Nathan sending her a
Mr President's Wild Obsession 48 - Just promise me one thing
Mercedes could feel her heart still. It wasn't in the plan for Nathan to pick her at the hangar. He wasn't even supposed to be here. She was supposed to have a good time with her mom and brother. Was he breaking up with her? Was that why he sent her away?" If so then why would he entrust her with high company responsibility? It didn't make sense and also didn't add up. "I can take anything Nat, just spit it," she said in earnestness. Nathan didn't know where to start from but it had to be from somewhere. "You have to know that the doctors did all they could to save him." Instantly, Mercedes' mind travelled to her brother. But he said he was fine the last time they spoke a few days ago. What could have gone wrong? "Oliver?" Her heart pleaded against it. "No, your dad." Relief washed over Mercedes just as the understanding sank in. "What?...No! He can't be dead. No!" All this while, she had remained strong, taking up the responsibility of fendin
Mr President's Wild Obsession 49 - You are mentally deprived, your brain cells lack nutrition
"What is that?" Nathan asked seriously. If it was within his power, he would fulfil her promise. "Make sure he rots in prison for all he put me through. When he found out I was pregnant, he started acting all nice, when in actual fact, every drink he gave me was spiked with something to make me miscarry. Please let him pay. One more thing. It was the same means they used to make Sarah miscarry, thrice till she got tired and got her tubes tied. He works well with Betty." Nathan was horrified at the revelation. His father had been drinking and dining with enemies he thought were his friends but he couldn't feel pity for his dad. Rather, he felt sorry for Clarisse and Sarah. He would make Luke and Betty pay. "Thanks for telling me. I will still do as I want for you to be comfortable," he said and left. He was broken by the time he got back to the penthouse and it was getting late but he drove them to the mansion he had arranged. Having Sarah with him proved wort
