The roar of the engine was just the distraction Seth needed to drown out the nagging thoughts on his mind.

The sleek, custom-built hypercar hugged the asphalt of his private racing track.

It was just him and Arian, his best friend and the only person he could tolerate right now.

Arian’s car, a luminous green beast, was a few yards ahead, its tail lights a taunting glow. Seth pressed the accelerator, the G-force pinning him to the racing seat. Every fiber of his being focused on the asphalt ahead, the curve of the next bend, the precise moment to use the brake.

This was the only place where he had absolute control and where the thrill silenced all the thoughts in his mind.

He shifted to a lower gear, the engine screaming a protest before settling into a harsh growl. He felt the tires bite into the track as he swung wide, hugging the curve, gaining on Arian.

The gap narrowed, meter by agonizing meter. He could see Arian’s helmeted head, as his friend pushed his own machine to its l

She walked into her suite, her mind buzzing with the thought of the evening ahead at Celine’s.She got to her quarters, stripped down and took a quick shower before returning back to her room where the dress Seth had got her, laid on her bed.She was too much in a hurry to notice earlier but now she did. He surprisingly had a good taste, if he really picked this dress himself that is. It was a green lo

    Thea stepped out of the penthouse hours later and much to her relief, Seth had left for the office. Butler John had a car ready to drop her off at her location and as instructed by Seth, a guard was assigned to her.More like Seth's personal spy. The car pulled over by the parking lot and a man in a suit stepped out, pulling off his shades.“Good morning, Ms Thea. I'm Ethan and I'll be your personal escort from now on.” “Nice to meet you Ethan but do me a favour, you'll be in the car when we get to my destination.” Thea instructed firmly.“I'm sorry ma'am but Mr Seth told me to make sure I'm with you at all times.” Thea chuckled, what is she? A child? “Ethan, it's your first day at work and I d0n’t want to make this difficult for you. It's either we do it my way or things are not going to look good for you.” Thea said calmly. It was a threat but somehow, she managed to make it sound like an advice. Ethan swallowed. “I promise to stay out of your way ma'am.” Thea smiled and se

    The morning light felt sharp, cutting through the silence. The oy sound one could hear was the swift movement of footsteps. Even the staff were try8ng to be as quiet as possible that early morning.Thea's eyes opened slowly and the memory of last night hit her like sharp pain in the head. Seth's lips, the intensity of his gaze and how delicate his hands felt on her…..She sat up on her bed, her eyes staring into space. He had just left her there, standing awkwardly as he hurried off! Her fingers traced her lips, there was something more to that kiss and she knew it. How is she supposed to face him now? “Ms Thea?” Thea jerked back to reality, her eyes flickered to one of the home staff who had walked into the room unnoticed.“Yes.” Thea responded calmly.“Would you like me to make you a cup of coffee?” “No, thank you.” “Breakfast will be ready in less than an hour. Would you like to bring it up to your room?” Thea went silent, her mind racing with thoughts. She swallowed, her eye

    Thea groaned for the hundredth time that night; she couldn't sleep. The bedside clock showed it was very late. Outside, the city lights twinkled, but inside, the huge place felt quiet and empty. Thea was on her bed, restless. Maybe it's the coffee from earlier? She felt strange energy buzzing under her skin. Thea groaned, what was she thinking? Gulping down an entire mug of coffee late afternoon? Just great. Her throat felt dry but she had run out of water in her room. Maybe a glass of water, or two, would help flush her system. She got out of bed, pulled on a soft robe over her nightclothes and quietly left her suite, walking down the grand stairs to the kitchen.The penthouse was dimly lit, most of the lights off. As she got closer to the kitchen, she saw a soft glow coming from it. Were the staff still up by this time? Thea walked in and froze. Seth was there.He was standing by the large kitchen island, sipping from a glass of red wine. He was dressed simply, in a plain gre

    Seth's eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him, reading through the annual reports for the company.His office was a huge space with large windows that looked out onto the bustling road of the city. His desk, made dark wood, stood in the center. A coat hanger on the left and a bookshelves on the left. A few decorative plants were in the office, Celine’s idea.She thought the office was too bland and boring, hoping some greenery would bring some life into the office and make Seth's day better. It didn't. Seth pulled off his glasses, massaging his brow with his fingers in slowly circular motions. It's been a long day and he's been going from one meeting to another. The cup of coffee he took was starting to wear out, he needed a break. He picked up his telecom, his fingers pushing in his assistant’s number.“Sir?” “Come to my office.” Seth dropped the telecom. He got out of his seat, walking towards the wall of glass behind his chair. He rolled up his sleeves, eyes fixed at the

    “Runes is cheating on Posy?!” Daisy gasped, her voice louder than she had intended.Thea covers Daisy's mouth in panic, her eyes scanning the cafe. Luckily, no-one seemed to have heard her or paid any form of attention. Thea sighed, sinking back into her seat, thank goodness! It would be no fun if Posy finds out about this before her wedding.Daisy swallowed, her eyes still fixed on Thea in shock. “I'm so sorry. I was….are you sure?” She asked, her voice dropping into a whisper this time. Thea nodded, sipping her coffee, a smile playing on her lips. Daisy covers her mouth again. “I can't believe this. The Runes Sterling? How did you find out?” Thea took another glance around the cafe, she wanted to make sure Daisy would be able to handle the next shock. She shakes her head. “Maybe later.” Daisy's eyes widened. "Spill! I'm ready! I can take anything."Thea leans closer, dropping her voice in a low whisper. "I went to Zean school of business today. I wanted to submit my application
