"Nooo," I screamed at the top of my lungs.

The creaking door stopped halfway.

"Alright, young Madam, I'd take my leave now." Amelia's voice rose, and I could hear faint footsteps, which meant she was already leaving.

"That was close." I heaved a sigh of relief.

“Later,” he said, “We finish this later.” He passed the back door out.

Later? I loved the sound of that. Definitely later.

I looked at myself, and messy was the word for it. I ran my hand through my disheveled hair, then after I p

    Aria"It's my pleasure to secure a partnership with you, Mr Xavier." I said and we shook hands."Well, I hope for successful result, counting on you not to let me down." He replied, then moved his legs. His personal assistant followed suit."Why do you....?" I scratched my head, my curiosity will definitely put me in a position where I won't like."Why do I?" He turned back and faced me.That was the moment. No fear. No contemplation. I just had to say what I had to say."Why are you in disguise?" I questioned."Why the mask? The voice changer too? It's really not necessary if you ask me." I commented."Exactly young lady, I never asked you, learn to mind your business, do what is expected of you and don't let your curiosity destroy your pathways to success." He advised, that wasn't much of an advice, it was rude and demeaning. I was curious, I asked, he could have waved it off or walked away.He? It could even be a lady.She? A lady should at least have some butt, but Mr. Xavier, he/

    Aria"Young Madam." I heard, my dreams were now so chaotic and random events kept happening all of a sudden, one sleep, one dream, thousands of events.The chanting continued, this time it didn't feel like a dream, it felt like it was reality. My own real world. The chanting was paired with banging of the door, I was torn between my dream world and reality."It better not be reality cause who dares to interrupt my beauty sleep." I thought.Athena. I first thought."Athena. Athena. Athena." I kept murmuring till I rose up to my feet."No, it can't be, she wouldn't in any way call me with such respect." I disregarded the thought."What the heck is your problem?" I yelled as I opened the door."Young Madam." They all chorused.My workers. My company keepers, they were all finally back to home, yes our home. I couldn't be more happy.The earlier rage within me left, I jumped up several times in excitement to be sure I wasn't dreaming or fantasizing."Awwwwn...My beautiful ladies and gentl

    Aria"He's a friend." Zachary declared, his expression gave him away, I knew what he seems like when lying, the way he bit his lower lip nervously hoping I do not see through his lies, I knew what they meant anyways."Yeah, a mere friend." He kept nodding, something felt off but I couldn't pin point it."Am I a friend?" Rain twitched his eyebrows in confusion."Ouch." Rain suddenly whimpered.They really seem like friends, I was thinking way too deep than I should. I mean I should I thought the only friend he had was Quinn He was literally a nerd back in high school."Nice to meet you by the way." Rain smiled.He sounded mature but his face gave him away, he looked far too young, more like someone in his early twenties.He looks like an adorable little kid."Nice to meet you too." I smiled back at him" That's enough. You can leave now, no one invited you here." Zach gestured for Rain to leave but Rain remained unmoved."It's fine, he

    Zachary Aria's questioning went on and on and I got tired of responding to her that all I could bare to do was state, stare at her lip movement, her facial expression and her hand movement got me more than the conversation we were having. "Can I take you out on a date?" I asked " Did you listen to everything I said?" She glared at me furiously. " Keep it calm baby." I pacified, " I got it all, you lost the contract because you arrived late and Mr Xavier is not willing to sign with you any longer and you hope I can hel, Unfortunately I can't." I concluded. "First things first, I didn't intentionally arrive late, your wife caused that." She pointed out, I raised my hands up defenseless. "You lost the contract because it was never meant to be yours, what is yours will be yours." I comforted. " You're too blunt for my liking." She put up a disgusting expression. " You love me like that." I commented. "I don't." She responded, "Ouch." I held my chest like I was having

    Aria"I lost the contract." I told Zachary as I got to the door of my room. I met him parading the corridor obviously waiting for me to come back.I tried everything I could but was still unable to convince Mr Xavier. He said I lacked professional etiquette and that was an undisputable fact, putting myself in his shoes I would also react the same way but all I needed was one chance.I remembered Mr Xavier’s sharp voice in the boardroom. “Miss Aria, passion is good, but manners matter more.” His words hit me hard, I had stood there, lips pressed together, nodding slowly till he passed beside me. And that was all. One meeting where I could show numbers, show results. Just one chance to prove to him that I'm what I defend and more. I didn't build my empire based on connection, it was built on strength, hardwork and consistency of a young woman who knew what independence really is starting from a young age.Late nights came back to me in flashes—typing proposals at 2 a.m., cold coffee, l

    AriaIt's been more than a week since Quinn left, marking one month plus into my pregnancy and to be honest the hardest thing wasn't even about concealing it, it was about the changes that came with it, the sudden dislike for my favorite food and the anger issues, minimal noises flared me up, everything irritated me.I was in the kitchen trying to make a meal for myself because Amelia no longer understood my taste or probably she couldn't adjust to the new.My phone rang. I saw the name clearly stated on the screen. I kept contemplating, should I pick it up or not? I did anyways "Quinn." I muttered.Did that need a response? No"Aria." He answered."Yeah?" I replied in more of a questioning tone."I have been gone for days and you didn't even think of calling to check up on me, if I landed safely or...." Quinn complained." I knew you would."I responded not thinking twice." You could have at least called." He said." Would do better." I replied, my responses were brief and even an i
