"Did you really notify her about the interview today?"

Alex voice cut through the quiet of the office, low but pointed. He didn't look up from the document Noah had just handed him, he just stared at him, like it might somehow give him the answers he was looking for.

Noah shifted where he stood. His boss had gotten to the office at 7am, that was two full hours before the interview was scheduled just because of her. Ria Hartley.

And even though he knew it was a little ridiculous, part of him didn't blame his boss for acting this way.

He wasn't just being paranoid.

It was more like— anticipation. Uneasy, electric anticipation.

He had never seen his boss like this. Not even when closing eight figure deals. He hasn't been himself all morning. He was distracted, restless and his eyes flicked towards the clock every few minutes.

For someone who usually had the emotional range of a locked vault, it was startling to see. And it said a lot.

Ria Hartley wasn't just any woman. At

  • RIA: HIS SWEET OBSESSION    A CONFESSION

    Ria walked into the house and as surprised at the sweet aroma that hit her immediately she walked in. Someone was cooking in the kitchen, the noise in there confirmed it and there was no way it was the house help, she must have left by this time. It has been two weeks after the betrayal saga and her relationship with Alex was back to square one—no talking and before she wakes up in the morning, he was already gone from work. It was evident that something happened with his father that dinner night but he refused to tell her. “I made dinner,” Alex appeared at the doorway with two plates in his hand, halting her stop from entering the kitchen. He’d seen her car drive into the garage from the balcony and quickly rushed back to set the table. The past two weeks he had been a dickhead, even though the news about Alicia threw him off guard, he wasn’t supposed to sideline the one woman he wanted to be with. He was fighting very hard and pulling the shareholders to his side but in the pro

  • RIA: HIS SWEET OBSESSION    THE RESCUE STORY WASN'T TRUE

    “Yes, it wasn’t me, the one who called me said, they were from the Cooper’s Group and they had the designs, she said that I only need to give up the materials. That was the only thing did, I never leaked out the designs, please spare me.” Anna begged profusely. Getting fired from Williams Group was something she couldn’t afford; it was like an automatic ban from the industry. No other company would dare hire her. Ria stood up from her seat and went closer to where Anna was, she crouched down to where she knelt, “You said ‘she’, are you talking about Kelly Hartley.” “No… No,” it was definitely not her. She had talked to Miss Hartley several times on the phone for business matter, the voice on the phone wasn’t her. “it wasn’t her but from the way she sounded, she must be very young. The voice was very unfamiliar, so I don’t think it’s anyone from the team.” So now who was it? Ria thought that this was just a jealousy scheme from Kelly, but now there was another person and there was no

  • RIA: HIS SWEET OBSESSION    THERE WAS ANOTHER SNITCH

    The ride back home was a quiet one, a big contrast of their coming to this place. Ria peered at Alex face, it obvious that the ‘talk’ between him and his dad did not go well. He’d come out of the study grim and without even bidding his goodbye to his mom only going to kiss Evelyn’s cheek and mumbled some words to Mrs. Williams, it was clear that he was angry. Ria decided not to ask and wait until they get back home. Immediately they got back, Alex walked straight upstairs, took his things and went into the bathroom, he came out and went downstairs without saying anything to her. Ria contemplated whether to follow him or not and then decided to go take her bath first. She came down and met him drinking, it was the first time since they got married that he drank, he never drank in front of her. “What is the matter, Alex? You’ve been this way since the ‘talk’ with your father. What did he say that made you this way?” Alex did not say a thing and kept drinking. What was he supposed to

  • RIA: HIS SWEET OBSESSION    SHE'S BACK

    “You look so beautiful” the woman pulled back from the hug. “Forgive my manners, I’m Katherine Williams, Alex’s mother. I’m so glad you could join us tonight; I’ve been asking Alex to bring you over for dinner but he kept making excuses.” Really? He made excuses for her? He never told her. “Mom, we’re here now,” Alex said quickly avoiding Ria’s eyes. “That’s what matter, right?” ‘Yeah, that’s true,” she replied, waving them inside. “Do come in quickly, it’s cold outside.” She took Ria’s hand and brought her inside leaving Alex standing outside. Ria looked back at Alex as she was taken. This was a typical ‘my mother-in-law thinks I’m cold situation. Where was the cold woman Alex told her about, all she saw was a loving mother. The inside of the mansion was on par with the outside, there was a chandelier above the sitting room with an elegant staircase curved up to the second floor. The table was already filled with variety of dishes, it was indeed ‘just a dinner’ “Make you

  • RIA: HIS SWEET OBSESSION    YOU'VE PROVED THEM WRONG

    "My grandparents raised me, actually my grandmother. My grandfather died when i was four," Alex leaned his head back against the pillow as he started. He rarely shares his story with anyone but with her he felt safe and he wanted her to know everything about him. Ria remained quiet and listened, she knew how important this moment was for him, knowing that it wasn't easy for him to open up. "My dad was always too busy running the company," he continued, his voice was a little shaky now and filled with emotion; all the pent-up frustration were in it. "And my mom... she's a professor of medicine now." "After she had me, she went abroad to further her education, she was determined to reach the highest level and she did. Now she works at Central City hospital, only on appointments though... and my dad is now retired, the heart diseases from five years ago made him draw back from the business while i take over. Someone may argue that i had the best of life while growing up and indeed i

  • RIA: HIS SWEET OBSESSION    I WANT TO EAT YOU

    I didn’t hear you come in.” Ria said, startled when she finally turned around.Alex grinned “That’s because you were too busy looking good in that apron.”She blushed very hard, biting her bottom lip. He always had a way with words.“Dinner will be ready in a minute. I just need to dish it.”Alex moved closer to her with a teasing glint in his eyes. “I was thinking of eating something else before dinner,” he smirked.“Alex…” she breathed.He reached for her waist and drew her close to him and his touch sent a tremble to her spine. She wouldn’t lie, she had been thinking about him all day long, wanting him and craving his touch.He leaned down, brushing her collarbone with his lips, he sucked on gently and a soft moan escaped her lips-gosh, that sound. It drove him wild hearing it and knowing that it was because of him.“You smell like heaven,” his lips were still pressed against her skin. “And I’m starving.”Her knees felt weak and her neck leaned back in permission. “Alex…” This time
