Freya's p.o.v"I believe if we push these new designs into the market, they will flourish and excel," one of our board members suggested at my new jewel designs as we have a conference meeting via zoom in our apartment.Damian and I are on a vacation for his father's sixtieth birthday. Today is the D-day and Damian had suggested we leave a week earlier to enable us shop and familiarize with other members of his family.His father, Mr. Worthington is an oil magnate with great power and influence and even though Damian didn't choose that path, his father's influence can greatly be felt in the business."Right. We will do just that and see how it goes. I believe that will be all?""Right, Freya," they all said in unison."Ending the call, I stretched my arms in the air, rising up to my feet from my chair. I went to the freezer and poured out some chilled mango juice, slurping it down my throat.I sighed.A masculine hand wrap around my waist from behind me. "Morning, my sunshine," he whi
Hailey's p.o.v"Where the hell have you been, Hailey? Mom and Dad have been so worried about you. We all are," my sister voice almost broke on the phone."You don't have to worry about me, Keisha. Just tell them I'm fine.""Really, Hailey?""Yeah," I sighed. "I need some fresh air and that is what I am getting right now and I don't intend coming back ever.""Oh. And, how's Dylan? his father has been asking of him and I have been ignoring his texts and call. Don't know what word to give.""You can let him know I told him to go fuck himself. Dylan's got a new father who loves him now and I also intend to keep it that way. Can we just change the subject?"Keisha sigh was loud. "Fine. But I do really hope you are doing well, Hailey. I missed you, most especially Dylan.""Oh, grow up kid sis. I'm alive not dead. I promise we'll be seeing again, soon," I joked. "Just need some time to myself that's all.""Very well then. See ya!"I hung up the phone and heaved a sigh, heading out of the res
Jane's p.o.vAgitated that I couldn't find Hailey, I hop back into my car and drove back home. "Damn it! That bitch is really one lucky whore."I pulled over into the port of my house and I disembarked, stomping into the house with my heels clicking on the tiled floor. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the figure standing right infront of me, but backing me. He seem to be on call with someone.Ethan?He turned back slowly, disconnecting the call and staring at me. "Jane, are you alright?"I almost stop living the moment his eyes shuffled between the pistol in my hand and face and I knew better than not to comport myself right away. "Ye...Yes. Sure," I rolled my eyes, acting all tired. "Just tired that's all.""Tired?" he repeated. "And is that a real gun in your hand, Jane?""Yeah. Had an impromptu shooting this morning after you left. My agent called and I just knew I had no choice," I said, smiling through the lies. "Was told to keep this since we will be continuing with the s
Martha's p.o.v"Patience? I am running out of patience, Martha. You need to get your facts right and find every means to get that boy out of the way. I have come a long way for me to stop or give up now. Your hear me?" the voice on the phone roared in my ears."I am trying Fabian. I am doing all that I can..." I try to speak."It's obvious your trying isn't good enough," he bellowed through the phone. "You know what to do, Martha and don't keep me waiting."With that being said, he hung up on me. I tighten my grip on my phone at the thought of it. Everything. My mind froze and sank when Edmond mentioned to the world that Ethan would be his successor. I couldn't take it. My mind couldn't. It was supposed to be my son, Evans. He is the rightful heir to the Slade's Empire. Edmond had married me, not her. That was supposed to be Evans right and not that bastard son, Ethan.A knock came on my door and I motioned for whosoever it was to come in."Madame Martha, you have a visitor," she sai
Jane's p.o.vMy mind couldn't take it as I halt and park my car at the Slade's Empire. I hop down and the seared image of what I had seen into my brain, only made me feel more disgusted and angry by the minute.How could he betray me like that?I took a deep breath yet with a seethed mind and push open the glass doors of Ethan's office building. I marched towards the reception desk, my heels clicking on the polished floor. "I'm here to see Ethan Slade," I announced, my voice firm anddetermined.The receptionist looked up, taken aback by my assertive tone. She clearly must have been new to not know who I am. "Uh, let me check if he is available. May I ask who is visiting?"Her question only infuriated me the more. "Are you that blind to see that I am his wife?!" I glare, my eyes flashing with a mix of anger and hurt.She flinched. My action attracted a number of eyes and their attention all diverted to my direction. Agitated, a feminine voice approached me. "Jane?" she said, her smi
Hailey's p.o.vMy finger tap on the send button of my phone and I smirked at the thought of it. That bitch 'Jane' need to know what I am capable of. And maybe I may not be reach as her, but I will show her what it feels like to be a snatcher.Ethan doesn't know about our long time rivalry and I intend to keep it that way. "Where the hell is my shirt, Hailey?" Ethan asked as he strode out of Dylan's room. Dylan had wanted him to spend the night over and Ethan didn't hesitate to give in. Hence, an opportunity to begin my revenge plan on Jane.I gasped and froze subconsciously at the sight of Ethan's toned abs and I bit my lower lips. God! he hasn't changed a bit. Infact, he looks a hundred times hotter than I last saw him naked. Jesus! I might just have Jane's head ripped off her neck while I have him all to myself."What the fuck are you gawking at Hailey?" he bellowed at me and I blinked, waking up from my thoughts. "What?!" I shrugged, eyeing him."You are not deaf, are you?" he
