LOGIN...EARLIER IN THE DAY...
~CHRISTOPHER'S POV~ Today we are celebrating something but I don't know what but it will sure be nice. But if I want to make it out of here in time I have to focus on this paperwork and maybe get it done. Last week we got a shipment of precious stones. It included diamonds,rubies,pearls, sapphire and so on. The moment Kim found out that the shipment was here she was giddy like a toddler. It was so adorable but when I told her that she told me that she is sexy not adorable. I wanted to say she is both but I just agreed to what she said. She took almost all the rubies and pearls. She hoarded them like a dragon hoards it's gold. If I didn't know what she was in her last life i might have thought she was a dragon. The thought of how she lived in her past life sobers any fantasy that might have occurred. I don't want her to experience that again. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I continue with my work. I used to love spending time in my office when I was in the company but since my wife started working two office rooms from me, I get jittery with adrenaline at the thought of sneaking around with her in the office. "Stephanie, can you tell me when my wife gets out for her office. I need to have lunch with her. " She chuckles and says it's no problem. Stephanie is an executive reception/ secretary. She used to have a crush on me but since she found out I was married, might I add happily married in this case, she has maintained a professional distance and even gets along with Kim. Thirty minutes go by before I quit fooling myself and go check on my wife. When I'm almost to her door, Killian walks out of her office grinning. He has a piece of paper that oddly looks like a drawing that Kim showed me last night. "Tell Kimberly I'll be waiting for a repeat very soon." he whistles a happy tune after passing me. Without answering him I rush in to Kim's office only to find her crumbled on the floor with her hands clawing at her throat. Her eyes are open but unseeing. after regaining my composure I shout her name and gently shake her. Blood is caked under her fingernails and when I went to remove them from her throat she almost took my eye out. Taking out my phone I dial the emergency line and I'm told they will be here In five minutes. I stay here whispering nonsense in her ear trying to calm her down. it works until I stop. The moment I stop she claws again. Stephanie leads the paramedics to Kim's office and when they see the state she is in when I stop talking to her they become weary of her. "I'm sorry sir but the only way to safely move her is if she is sedated. " one of the medics said. I nod and when it all done, Kim is wheeled into an ambulance helicopter for treatment when I see Killian. He is smirking like all of this is amusing. the moment she is well, I'm going to go after my brother for what he has. He touched my wife, he loses a limb that touched her.The discharge was swㅣft and I carried my wife home. She didn't do much, well not like her usual self. Her spark dimmed a little. She smiles but its never the beaming one she usually reserved for me.I will never rush her. Whatever she needs I'll be there for her.While she is lounging on the couch my phone rings. It's Robert. " What can I do for you Robert?" Kim raises a brow at me. I shake my head at her and signal that I'll fill her in. she shrugs and lays her head on my shoulder." Killian has left the country but we have Vivian with us. what should we do to her? "I know that Kim can hear everything Robert is saying so instead of answering him I look raise a brow at her. Her hand is held out and I give her my phone." Did I hear you say that you have Vivian?"The line goes silent for a moment before Robert whispers, "sister in law", she barks out a laugh and goes along with whatever Robert is saying. Watching her speak so freely with Robert makes something in me ease by a lot.
When we arrive at the hospital my heart is beating like it wants to escape from my chest. Seeing my wife on the hospital beat void of her usual warmth is difficult. I thought I wouldn't have to see her on a hospital bed again like when I did in our past life. I know the situation is different but my brain is refusing to acknowledge it.The doctor said that nothing serious happened to her brain but she was reacting to something that triggered her to claw at her neck. Her mind decided to shut down the moment she heard my voice but her body didn't quit responding.Nothing like this ever happened in our past life. She never had any response to anything like this. Taking out a phone I call one of the few people who owe me favours." Christopher, what can I do for you?"" Robert. Remember the favour you owe me? I need to cash it now."" Done. What do you need?"" I need you to kidnap Killian and torture him... preferably breaking one of his arms."" May I know what your brother did?"" He

A week has passed since we had a meeting about evaluation and so far nothing has happened. I guess Killian is playing fair. The day is going good so far that I'm planning to go on a date with Chris. I have designed our rings but haven't shown them to Chris. I even hid them in my bedside drawer. Right now I'm designing a bracelet. Its a ruby based bracelet. it has pink pearls around each ruby and I'm thinking of maybe adding charms. I was so lost in my little design that I didn't hear anyone calling me. " Kimberly!" My head snaps up and behold, Killian is here. "what can I do for you Killian? and it better be good." " Give me one of your designs as compensation for cheating on me." "Hahaha" I let out a sharp laugh at his words. When he continues being silent, I stop laughing and look at him closely. "Wait you are being serious?" What in the ever loving F**k is this man smoking?"I'm letting you stay married to my brother even though you are technically my girlfriend stil
"Starting this week we will be doing duo performance evaluations and since Chris is married, he will be partnering with his wife. You Killian in the other hand are partnering with Vivian because she has been working for you the longest. And from the way things seem it's the only way for you to participate." Wow Irina is gorgeous. I know I have to be formally introduced to my husband's parents but I think I'm not yet ready."Oh and before I forget if it's revealed that one team stole or sabotaged another team's design, they forfeit their position in the company and their trust fund gets dissolved. You might be lucky If you are still included in the will." Silence follows. The kind of silence that indicates someone or people are weighing their options.Edward Carter, Christopher's father, looks over his kids and concludes what his wife was saying, " You both know I love you but this is the only way to make sure we give both of you a fair chance even though Chris is the heir. So both
Getting a call from my so called friend, Vivian, was not my go to for today. "Baby do you know what I got today?" "No but I'm hoping it's good news." "Nope, not at all. You are being called to the office by your mom and I'm supposed to be there also. but so are Killian and Vivian." "Damn it. Let's go baby."When we get to the office everyone stops what they were doing to look at us. And that was exactly when I remember what happened yesterday. My face heats and I hope its not red from whatever it is playing in my mind.Christopher, my dear husband, currently finds this situation funny."Stop laughing or I'm getting a divorce. I wonder how you will laugh in that moment." And guess what ladies and gentlemen that is a threat that would sure make him fold like a pretzel.Now looking closely I can see that not all stares are friendly. Some are downright menacing while some are bored. But my least favorite ones are the ones that are calculated and amongst them is Vivian. She fixes
