“I am so sorry, Sir.” She starts fidgeting.

‘What's she sorry about?’ I wondered.

“Why are you sorry? I just asked you a question.”

She was silent…

“Why are you sorry? Monica, what did you do?” I asked with a deadly calm in my tone.

And she knows when I use that tone, things are about to get bloody.

“Sir, she didn't accept them. In Fact, she wasn't there to receive it. She only sends her friend to tell the delivery guy that she is not interested.” She rushed out all in one breath.

I sigh, frustration gnawing at me as I pinch the bridge of my nose.

She is really going too far. I felt my patience wearing thin and my anger simmering.

It's just a matter of time before I storm that school and drag her out.

I heard Monica's voice again, “Sir, maybe she doesn't like it. I suggest you try something else.”

How could she not like it? She is just being Renee and this is a little out of her hand work when she is angry.

“No. She just doesn't want to talk to me, else, those gifts were her fav

    ReneeI didn't wait for my change and bolted to my room, the sound of my own ragged breathing filled my ears as the tears I was holding back now rolled down in waves.My gaze was downcasted and I didn't see Annie and Jessica waiting for me by the door.Until Annie held my hand and took the key from me as I was struggling to open the door.“Are you okay?” She mouthed to me, glancing around to see if anyone was watching before she opened the door.We all went in and settled on the bed and I was finally able to let go.The sobs racked through me in folds and I wasn't able to hold myself, my body was shaking vigorously from the intensity of the cry and my heart was tearing apart.“Hey, what's wrong?” Annie asked, moving closer to me, her hand going to my back to pacify me, “Is everything alright? Where did you go?” She threw in another question.But all I could do was shake my head, unable to form any words.I felt the other side of the bed dipped and Jessica moved closer and pulled my hea

    Renee I was too blind to see it…I recalled when we had our first fight all because of him — and we ended up going the whole semester without speaking to each other. Now I feel really stupid just thinking about it.“You know what? Let me run you a bath then we'll order something to eat and you can bawl your eyes out while eating.” Annie said, standing up from my vanity seat, “ Jess what do you think?” “That'll be awesome. Let me order some pizza.” she replied, fishing out her phone. “pepperoni or veggies?”“Pepperoni.” We both said at the same time.“Alright Ren, go take a hot shower and your pajamas will be on the bed when you come out.” She helped me out of the bed and pushed me to the bathroom. I didn't want to shower but it's Annie and she doesn't take no for an answer.My mind was still replaying the scene over and over again. My eyes shut tightly as I tried to shut my brain but it was working.Think of anything good Ren, good memories, think, think… My eyes were still shut

    IvorMonica hadn't said anything since she came back from the school which only meant one thing.Renee was still being stubborn and I've had enough of it. I wonder what she said to Monica.I would have made a trip to their school if I had not been so swamped with work.The outside world is currently bright and the big clock sounds, an indication that it's noon.My phone rang, drawing me from the paper I was looking at, my eyes narrowed as I wondered who could be jobless enough to distract me by this time of the day.My eyes roamed across the office searching for it until it landed on it sitting on the center table.I left my seat to go check who decided to disturb my work. My fingers swiped it and it's Jerome.My brows knitted together in confusion, unsure of why he was calling me.“Hello, Jerome,” I said, bringing the phone to my ear.“Hi, buddy. How are you doing? Are you good? How's business going?” he asked all in one breath. Leave it to Jerome to ask so many questions in one sent

    Ivor“You understand them perfectly. But you are the only one who can deal with her. Am out.” he exclaimed.“I know man. She can come stay with me. It's not a big deal. She can intern at the company if she wants.” I replied calmly ‘I know that's the last thing she'll agree to since Monica is at the company.’ I muttered to myself “Really?” he asked, curiosity filled in his voice.“Yes.” “Ohh, man. I appreciate it. Let me call Griselda. Babe, babes. Come over here.” He said, enthusiastically.I was about to say no but she's already on the phone.“Who is it?” She asked.“He said yes.” “Who said yes?” “Ivor.”“Oh my God. Is he on the phone?” she squealed, excitement dancing in her tone “Yes, he is.”“And you didn't tell me?” With the sound of his groan, I am sure she kicked him. “I would have made a fool of myself.” I am sure she's rolling her eyes.“Hi, Ivor. How are you doing? dear. ” She asked in a sweet voice.“I am fine Griselda. Congratulations on the new job.” I said, my tone

    Renee“What's that all about?” Jess asked.“They want me to stay with Uncle Ivor from now on.” I started but Annie didn't let me finish.She squealed, almost jumping on me, her brows wiggling. “Uncle Ivor? The one and only? Why?” “Yes, so Mom got a job and is moving. They wouldn't let me come because I hate flying. And they don't want me to stay alone.” I explained and expected them to sympathize with me but they were giving me some looks.“What?” “Is Ivor not the handsome hunk that brought her to school last semester?” Jess was the one asking Annie this time.“Yes, that one Jess. And he is still the same person she had a crush on.” Annie finished.“How did I end up with you guys as my friend?” “Luck Ren. Fucking luck. So many people are dying to be with me.” Annie puffs her chest out.“So I didn't want to at first but Mom and Dad kept pestering me and told me to think about it. Today was supposed to be the day I tell her my decision.” “Unfortunately, Eddie cheated and you are a me

    ReneeIt kept ringing and I didn't want to pick it up since I had no idea who was calling.“Come on. Pick up. Who knows it might be the handsome hunk” Annie joked.“No, it's not him. He has no reason to call with an unknown number…” the words died in my throat as I remember I had blocked all his access to get through me.The ringing stopped for a minute and started again. “Alright. Just pick so we know it's not urgent.” I picked, bringing it to my ear. “Hello?” I said hesitantly.“Petals?” He said and I heard the relief of breath from his side.I might be imagining it or not. “Petals.” He called again and my whole body swooned at how deep his voice sounded.And I didn't know when I replied. “Yes.” I breathe out. Thank God, I was sitting down because I felt I was falling so fast. Annie and Jess are long forgotten.“How have you been?” he asked Two things I picked up from his voice. Suppressed Anger and relief but the relief overpowered the anger.“Good.” I gave him a one-word reply

    IvorThe dinging sound of the phone hanging made its way to my ear and I couldn't didn't believe it. She just hung up on me.I wasted no time in opening my WhatsApp and scrolling to Monica's number, my hand trembling.“Come to my house first thing in the morning.” I pushed send and waited for her reply since she's online.“Sirrr, have you decided to take me with you?” her response came with a pleading and lovey eye emoji making me roll my eyes.“No. Come on time.” I replied curtly and turned off my phone.Still baffled as to why she hung up on me. My mind starts running around.Could it be that Monica had been lying to me?‘What did she say to her?’ I thought to myself.Renee has never been this angry with me for the past months even to the extent of blocking my line.I just hope she has a tangible explanation to defend herself tomorrow because she will leave my company tomorrow.My mind kept wandering around till sleep overcame me.***I was having breakfast and checking on the docu

It's facing the beach.” She squealed.“Really?” I asked“Yes, I'll send you some pictures.” “Alright then,” I uttered, getting my school bag ready.“Uhm, mom?” “Yes, honey.” She paused whatever she was doing that made crispy noises in the background.“I have thought about it and I will stay with him.” “Yeah?” I can hear the happiness in her voice.“Yes, mom.” “Oh my God. You don't know how happy you made me. I can finally stop worrying about you and focus on my work.” “I am glad I made you happy, Mom.” “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Your dad sent your things to Ivor's yesterday.” She said “Mom! Why would you do that? Are you trying to get rid of me that fast?” I whined.“No, honey. The house was paid for so he couldn't leave your things there.” She explained.“Fine. Whatever.” I rolled my eyes.“Now. Now. Manners young lady and don't

    Ivor No, he'll laugh his ass off and I will never hear the end of it from him.What would I even say? I kissed my goddaughter and I liked it. That's so fucked up.How do I tell my friend that I think I'm falling for my best friend's daughter He will straight up tell me he was right all along. That's how my day went with me contemplating if I should tell him or not.It took every willpower to finish my work for the day and by then, I had come to a decision.Tell him… so I called him to meet up at the same bar yesterday as I was leaving the company.***“So?” He gave a curious look.“So?” I said not getting him.“You sounded serious on the phone earlier. What's the problem?” And I was speechless — not knowing where to start from, I decided to take the bull by the horn.“How do you feel dating your friend's daughter?” He choked on the water he was drinking — I already told him, no taking alcohol today as I wanted to talk so he settled for water.“What? Why would I date my friend's

    Ivor Lance drove me to work today and this is the first time I have been to the company since the incident. My staff welcomed me with smiles, flowers, and the like, which Monica and James collected and I headed over to my office.Monica was reading my schedule for the day — I didn't know who permitted her to resume after the suspension.But I have definitely forgiven her so I brushed it off.“Lastly Sir, there are people…” she didn't finish when the elevator opened and my eyes landed on not ten, twenty, or thirty people standing in front of my office — all dressed in suits.From all indications — they are investors. They all straightened up as they saw me.I turned to her, sending a hard glare her way — making sure she got my message.“I am sorry Sir. They insisted on seeing you and I thought with them on our side now. Our company's stock will rise above all other companies.” She explained.She's not wrong about the stock but wrong about me wanting to collaborate with them.I faced

    Renee “Uncle Ivor. Are you inside?” I have been knocking for a few seconds now and no response.The house was also quiet. After my outburst and argument with Monica. I have been in my room, not wanting to be disturbed.Angry at myself for letting Monica get into my head again but more sad for her being damn right about it.He would never believe me if I told him it was her — he trusted her too much to believe it anyway since I don't have any proof. I decided to check how he was doing after his confrontation with the FBI and to clean his wound but upon entering his room.I found it empty — and the lingering scent of perfumes in the air, letting me know he's out but where could he have gone to?He didn't tell me he was going out.I left his room and went downstairs and that's when I saw Lance heading out in a hurry.“Hey Lance. Where are you going?” I rushed to meet up with him.“I am going to pick up Boss. Go back inside.” Like hell, I will.“Where? Where did he go? Is he okay? Is e

    IvorAfter mentally running through all my options, I decided to call Monica. “Get all the employees' bio-data to my house,” I said and hung up.At the same time, the men came in with a cleaned-up Harrison, with one side of his face disfigured — my fist really did a number on him.“No, don't strap him.” They stopped and let him sit like that.“Now are you ready to give me a name? Trust me when I say, killing you would be like a walk in the park and I've got nothing to lose — same as pinnacle Global and this person you are trying to protect.” I tried to coax him but was met with the same level of stubbornness.“Mr… Walker…” he struggled to speak, his swollen lips and bruised jaw making every word a painful effort. “I… made a promise… to this person… that their name… will never be out…” he winced, a faint groan left his lips as he tried to continue. “And the reason… I told you… about the company… was because… they betrayed me…” his chest heaved with the effort, his breathing labored. “I

    Ivor“Are you sure about it?” I asked Silas again while pulling my zipper up.“Yes, I am. That's where he has been hiding and he has only had one recurring visit all this time.” He explained.“Alright, thanks, man.” I threw the phone into my pocket and walked out of my room.Petals came out of nowhere, bumping into me. “Ouch. That hurt.” She winced before her demeanor changed when she noticed my outfit.“Where are you going?” I contemplated telling her the truth or not but deep down I know she'll end up worrying about me all day if I don't tell her now.“I just got off the phone with Silas and he told me about Harrison's whereabouts so that's where I am going.”“Alone?” she asked, rushing after me to the garage.“Yes,” “How about you take security with you?” Her voice waver and I know what's coming next.I turned and sharply cupped her chin, making her look me in the eye. “Look, I will be fine.” “What…” she inhales and exhales, trying to keep her tears at bay. “What if he has peopl

    ReneeShe walked into the house like nothing happened — like she didn't just sabotage someone's life.Someone she claims to love…I have been thinking all through yesterday — trying to understand what made her go that route but no tangible reasons could make her so vengeful like that.My anger was palpable as I watched her walk down the stairs till she was about to pass me. I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the patio.“What… What are you doing? Let me go.” She yelled out in surprise before jerking her hand away. “What's wrong with you?” “You wanna tell me something?” I faced her till we were chest to chest.She looked genuinely surprised or she's just good at hiding it — and I will go with the latter.“Tell you what? What are you onto?” She asked, moving back about.“What you were talking about yesterday?” I gave her a knowing look and realization dawned on her face but vanished as quickly as it came.“What… what do you mean?” she stuttered“I don't know.

    Renee “Yes, sorry about that Uncle Ivor. I needed to talk to Jeremy about something.” “Ok,” He tried to stand up and I rushed to help him but he held out his hand to stop me. “Stop, I am fine. I can stand up on my own.” Scowl at him, I mumbled. “Well, that's not what you said earlier.” He turns to me with a sharp look. “ I heard that and it's not funny.”Shit, was it too loud?“I didn't say anything.” I shrug.“don't act as if you didn't just mock me with the ‘that’s not what you said earlier.’ line.” He said mimicking my voice and facial expression and I couldn't contain my laughter anymore.“Uncle Ivor. It's like you are fi…” I didn't finish that before he was falling and at the speed of light… I supported his weight.“See? You can't even stand on your own.” I helped him to his room and ran a bath for him. “Take a shower and get the blood off you so we know where the bandaid needs to be.”He just nodded and went into the bathroom and my mind started wandering again… not now.

    Renee Seeing that he was already deep, I slipped out of his tight hold and put a pillow in my place, he grabbed it immediately like he was afraid of losing me. The sight made warmth fill my heart.I need to go find Jeremy and talk to him — at least he should explain what the hell was happening. Why would Ivor react like that? Was it just about the framing stuff or are there other things that I didn't know?I emerge in Ivor's bedroom to see it sparkling neat – no shattered glasses and all the furniture he destroyed has been replaced with new ones but they are not the same as the old ones.I walked out of his bedroom and entered mine to find it empty. Jeremy is nowhere in sight.‘where could he have gone?’ I wonder, making my way downstairs.What I didn't expect was to find a woman that looked like Monica on the stairs, it was the voice that made me realize she was the one. ‘But what's she doing here? Isn't she suspended?’ I thought with no answer.She still hasn't noticed me which te

    Monica“You are suspended till further notice.” That's what kept ringing in my ear as I entered my high-end one-bedroom apartment in New York City.I could afford this apartment thanks to the big fat salary I receive from Walker cooperatives. I don't even want to start imagining what it'll be like not working there anymore.It's all her fault… that bitch slimy creature that's always clinging onto him. I don't get why he let her stay with him when she's not his daughter.My heart was palpitating with anger as I squeezed the plastic cup I just finished drinking water with. At least he should have asked for my side of the story before sending me away like that.It's not fair… but I'll keep on calling him till he's ready to talk to me. He needs me in the company so he can't get rid of me that easily.My mind became calm after this thought and I went on with my day, finding things to do to avoid sitting idle and thinking about my miserable situation.Now, who do I even blame — Maria for gi
