Davis POV"No, my mother hates me!" The child insisted with a sob. At that point, I felt like whacking her clean.How could she say her mother hated sir simply because she wasn't allowed to eat popcorn. For a moment, I felt maybe there was something deeper to the story the child was saying because popcorn was something trivial and if even a child was not allowed to have it, that was a little mean in my opinion. And just then, I heard a voice yelling right across the road."Amelia! Amelia!" The woman that was calling the child's name had a yemenian accent. I knew this because I had traveled to Yemen before. Not for a business but for a donation.The woman was wearing a cultural attire but her voice and posture seemed English."Excuse me," the woman crossed over and I saw that the cried I was with stopped crying."Mama," she said in a low tone. The woman left her arms wide open but the child wouldn't go to give her a hug.I stood on my feet, glad to be free of the situation of the buggi
Davis POV"So erhm, I wanted to talk to you about something important." I told him."You must be kidding Davis, you have something to say to me? I'm all ears!""It's about a little girl, say about the age of eight, she's diabetic. Could you cover her treatment?""Man you donated fifty million to our organization for charity when we needed it, there's nothing you can ask me for right now that I would not absolutely give to you. A little kid with diabetes is no problem at all!""The cost is not what I'm interested in at all. My question is, can you save her life?" There was silence at the other end of the call for a bit."Ultimately, we doctors don't select those that live and those who die.""What I want you to do, is to select the best doctors to work on this girl's health should a need for surgery arise.""And where is this girl that you are referring to?" He asked."She's around my space currently." I told him."Give her guardian the address of one of my hospital address over there
Davis POV"I'll write a cheque." I told the head cashier after she told me to choose between card and a cheque.The dress was folded neatly in an expensive designer bag. After I'd purchased the item, I took the item and went to my car. I also stopped by a restaurant to get some things for I and Sara just in case she didn't ask the maids to cook. When I got home, I parked my car in the parking spot and was able to open the door to my home when the door suddenly opened wide. A smile crossed my cheeks when I saw that it was Sara.My heart started to beat weirdly. Bam bam and I felt the rate of my blood stirring up as I looked at her.Damn. What the hell was wrong with me? I hadn't eaten which was why I probably felt this way. I tried to use that explanation to give myself hope but even I knew it to be false."Davis you're home!" Sara said as she stared me up and down with a sweet smile on her lips.I didn't know what the hell she was playing at but I was totally invested."You didn't use
Sara's POVFirst he gave me his credit card and did not get mad at me even though I interfered with his work activity. I spent the whole day thinking about that. What could make him have such compassion on me? All the activities I was doing was to make him hate me and actually divorce me by his will, but what seemed to be happening was that he was liking me more… Or was this just an imagination of mine?I had no words for it. But if these actions of his were an expression of anger, they were definitely disalarming.I thought about what to do to make him suffer when he got back. I did my hair— Actually, I made sure to overdo it as well as with my makeup so I could make him hate my lavisciousness. And when he passed past me, I thought I had won until he eventually handed me a bag containing a designer well-tailored outfit. Frankly speaking, the dress was pretty! And I admitted that, but so I decided to get in character again. He told me the dress was a bit over 10k. In my mind, I was su
Sara's POVI stepped away from Davis's grip in trembling causing him to look at me weird."What's wrong?" "This is wrong." I looked around us. Everything we were doing right now was wrong? How could we act like real couples do when our marriage was based upon a contract?"No." I shook my head. "I can't do this."Davis seemed to understand what I was hinting because then he said, "Then I guess you'll say no to my inviting you to my room."I gave Davis a look and he nodded at me charmingly with a tight smile. "No worries, but I would really enjoy if we shared a bed tonight." He said and headed out of my room.I had a feeling that our discussion was not be complete. But I ignored the feeling and simply removed the dress and hung it in my closet. I headed to the restroom to freshen up and by the time I was down, I sank into the fresh pair of sheets. It was soothing, comforting and warm I loved it.I didn't know when or how I dozed off but up next, I felt a pair of arms around me in bed.

As the acting CEO, you're now my secretary. You'll fill in for me when I cannot attend some events. However, I am still the CEO." I said with much authority."Got it ma'am."

"Lead me to my husband's office straightaway.""Yes ma'am."I followed behind the woman who walked really fast, and behind her I was strutting like I was on a runway. It was a really thrilling sight seeing other lawyers going about their jobs. The moment I took the elevator as ins
