Chapter 10AdolaThe bus taking us to the estate we were going to survey was nearly full, which I was grateful for because it meant that Zyair wouldn’t be joining us.“Is everyone in?” Mr Lloyd asked, standing close to the door.“Yes,” someone answered from behind.Mr Lloyd turned to shut the door, but a guy stepped in. “What’s the matter, Andrew? We’re about to leave,”“We can’t. Mr Henderson is joining us,” he announced and cold sweats broke out in my palm.I dug my teeth into my lower lip, nearly drawing out blood. I hated that the mention of his name had the power to change my mood from sweet to sour in a matter of seconds.It was very obvious that he was joining us to make me uncomfortable, and it was only the beginning. I wished we wouldn’t have to ride on that stupid hot air balloon. If only someone wealthier than him had won the bid for the hot air balloon that night, I wouldn’t be experiencing this much tension.His arrogant self showed up almost immediately, well-built body

Chapter 9Zyair“Adola is back? She shouldn’t be back..” she roared then snapped her lips shut, pacing furiously.Something was obviously fishy but I couldn’t tell what it was. I was aware of my mother’s hatred for Adola, but it sounded like she’d go the extra mile to eliminate Adola from the surface of the earth. “Why can’t she be back?” I questioned, standing up as well.Lorna attempted holding my hand, but I moved away from her. She was the reason for this upheaval.“Because she’s a slut that will only make your life a living hell again. Have you forgotten what she did to you? She took money from me and ran away after sleeping with her boss at the club. There’s no reason for her to have anything to do with you in your life,” she ranted while father devoured his meal.As usual, he was nonchalant about the situation. This was why I never honoured the family dinner because of how it usually ended.“Mom, I know you’re concerned about me, but needn’t I remind you that I’m 32 years old

Chapter 8ZyairThe daze cleared off my eyes instantly as I cleared my throat. “Tell her that I'll be with her shortly,”“Wouldn't it be fun to let your fiancée know that her wonderful fiancé nearly kissed his ex?” She teased, her smirk filled with mischief. I grabbed her neck, pinning her again against the wall. My grip was loose but strong enough to keep her rooted where I wanted. “I wasn't trying to do that,” I'd be damned if I didn't want to have a taste of her lips again, and that was what riled me up: the fact that my body was yet to forget that she was no longer mine.“And now?” she seemed too comfortable. I let go of her. “I'm sorry for acting inappropriately with you. You can leave now,”She said nothing else and walked away, leaving me with the realization that I was fucked. I adjusted my tie and veered toward my office. Lorna's gaze was steered away from her phone to me the moment I stepped in. “Hi, baby,” she wrapped her arms around me. I kissed her lightly on the fo

Chapter 7Adola My heart slammed against my ribcage while I wondered what could be his condition. “We are very capable of fulfilling whatever your terms and conditions, sir,” I assured him confidently. He folded his arms, nodding slowly. “I want to be involved in everything that concerns this project, from the demolition to the restructuring to rentals. I'll be involved in every step of the way,” he said in a way that showed he wasn't joking. This was a first. I understood that most investors liked to be carried along in huge projects like this, but he made it seem as if he was going to teach me my job.The only reason I wasn't refusing was because I cared about my business. Several times, grandma has asked me to come work for her, but I wasn't ready. I wanted to build something of my own that no one would be able to take away from me. So even if people like him decided to be a thorn in my flesh, I'd still stand tall. “There's no problem with that. We'll do everything the way yo

Chapter 6AdolaThe pitch day turned out the exact way I imagined. Golden streaks of the sun enamored the clear blue sky.Stepping out of my car with my Alison, I tried to familiarize myself with the busy terrain of New York city: the endless hustle and bustle, urgent steps of employees trying to catch the next bus or cab that would take them to their place of employment added to my thrill. Pride and excellence hung like an invisible clock on the artistic painted walls. Trois wasn't just an investment company, it was an organization anybody would be proud to work with.Trent Llyod, the managing director, was waiting for me in the lobby. His smile widened as he stretched his hand."Ms Bradford. It's good to have you here. You're welcome to Trois investment company," He said warmly.I shook his hand firmly, returning the smile. "Thank you for having me."He extended his greetings to Alison who was beside me and then we headed to the elevator."Ordinarily, this meeting should be a mere

Chapter 5ZyairI uncurled my body from her, my eyes taking in the soft rays of sun that bounced into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window. Upon glancing at my side to catch a glimpse of the peaceful view of my sleeping fiancee, I slowly rose to my feet. Quickly, I covered my body with a robe, shut the door behind me and knocked on Adola’s door. Once… twice, my knuckles connected with the sturdy wooden door, but there was no response.She could be asleep or awake, trying to get a rise from me. After all, she wasn't the weak woman I knew her to be. She was tougher now, and more assertive. I liked her that way, but that aside, I had to be sure that my guest was still alive. “Adola?” I knocked again, this time more vehemently. “If you don't respond, I'll have to let myself in,” I warned, getting exhausted with the hide and seek, but silence was all I got. Pursing my lips, my grip tightened on the knob, twisting it open to reveal an empty room. Where could she have gone? The t
