I kissed her temple and she left after giving me a smile.Now I had to teach this Charley-fucking-Holmes a lesson. Perhaps, he doesn’t have the basic manners to knock before entering. And it is important for him to follow professionalism.I called my TOA (Telephone Operating Assistant) and asked her to conference the call with Charley Holmes.“Hello?” A manly voice came that irritated me to the core.“In my office, right now!” I said and hung up.This situation and this man was getting on my nerves. First of all, she’s crying and the second she told me he has been stalking, texting and sending her flowers, my blood boiled.A knock appeared on my door breaking the chain of my thoughts.“Come on in.” I said and the man entered.“You called me, Mr. Risso?”“Have a seat.” I said gesturing towards the chair in front of me.He put his step forward to take a seat and when he was about to collide his hips with the chair, I got up and pulled him by his collar.“Listen, you tiny piece of disgus
As soon as I reached the house after office, I ran straight towards the shower. I took a good bath and felt as fresh as a morning. My mother has asked me plenty of questions by the time I came out of the shower and started doing my skincare.I told her I’m going to the ball and her face fell for some reason I don’t know, but I was too busy to ask. I was doing my makeup when my mother asked me what I was going to wear.Oh, Shit! I was so busy recalling my moments with mr. Risso and the ball that I forgot the dress.“What am I gonna wear?” I asked looking back at her and she was holding a black coloured bag which looked kinda heavy.“What is it?” I asked again curiosity bubbling up inside of me.“A dress.” She said, taking the dress out of the bag.” I got it for you yesterday but you were busy mourning about your ex boyfriend.”“It’s-” I touched the dress and felt the fabric. It was too silky. “It’s Beautiful.” I said, putting the dress infront of me so I could see how I looked into the
I was watching Jackson and Rozine having a gala time.“Enjoy baby, enjoy. Because the bad moments are about to come and you are gonna pay for the deeds of your mother.” I said to myself.I got Rozine’s address from Peter only.Flashback6:30 PMI was sleeping when Wallermen called me.“What?” I asked, irritated.“There’s a ball tonight, your son Jackson is attending.”“And… what should I do with this information?” “He’s coming with a date” His words broke my drowsiness completely.“Do you know who she is?” I asked.“No. But he definitely has a soft corner for her.”“How do you know?” “Charley Holmes. He used to work for me in my company but left it when I was in jail. He was happy to know that I was out of jail and called me to update about your son’s company as he’s working under him now.”“What about him?”“He said your son has a soft corner for his PA. And I think he’s bringing the same girl to the ball.”“And you believe him? What are you? 12?” I mocked him.“One of us is and yes
The drive was silent as Jack’s whole focus was on the road. We were driving at 200 km/hr but the drive was as smooth as a glider.We reached our destination in 20 minutes. He was parking the car in reverse and put his hand on my backseat to look back and for some reason idk why… it just looked hot. Arghh!!!! We exited the car, he kept his left hand on my lower back and the other one in his pocket. While I glamorously carried my bag in my hand. I looked at the building and it was so huge that 20 apartments as mine could fit in this. It was a huge mansion, still shining bright in this dark night.“It’s huge.” I said looking around. “And I see the security too.”“Yeah, they’re quite handy.” He answered while making me walk inside. His hands on my lower back were making me immobile to move but I didn’t want to let him know how bad he affects me.“Why? It’s not like any terrorist could jump inside. Everybody here’s a powerful and strong businessman.”“Can;t take any chances though.” “
Mr. Gross and I were discussing how we can grow together. I was focusing on Mr. Gross yet I kept taking glances at her.God! I can’t take my eyes off of her. She looks so dreamy!I was looking at her laughing at something and oh! How cute she looks while she laughs.Suddenly, I heard her scream and the gunshots started to fire in the air. I pulled my feet towards her but a hand on my wrist stopped me. It was Mr. Gross.“Everyone! Kneel to the ground!” He shouted and made me sit on the ground with him.“What’s happening?”“Looks like an outsider entered. Keep your head down.”“My girlfriend is there, let go of me.” I fighted him.“And, my wife is just beside your girlfriend. The other two ladies you see over there? They’re her sisters and the cherry on the top is that she is Pregnant. You realise how bad the situation is? Huh?”“But I can’t just sit here and do nothing!”“My guards will be here any moment!” He spatted back in anger and I dropped the fight.I looked at her and she was s
I called Mrs. Valerina from Rozine’s phone and she picked it up in a ring.“Hello, Mrs. Valerina?”“Yes, speaking.. Who’s this? And why do you have my daughter’s phone?”“I’m her CEO speaking. I guess you need to come to the hospital quickly urgently.”“Is my daughter okay?”“Mrs. Valerina.. I, uh-”I couldn’t form words as to how do I tell someone that I took their daughter out and couldn’t protect her.“We were at the ball and bullets were fired and-”“WHAT??” She shouted. “Where’s my Rose? What did you do to her?” Her voice broke at the end.“She’s fine. Your daughter is fine, Mrs. Valerina. She just got unconscious.” I saw the Doctor coming out of the ICU.“I’m coming.” She said and hung up.“Is she alright?” I asked the Doctor.“Come with me to my office.” I followed her inside.She took her seat and motioned me towards the chair. “Please, have a seat, Mr. Risso.”“Is she alright, Doc?” I asked, taking a seat across from her.“Mr. Risso, is there anything you think we need to kno
I cried in his arms recalling the past. I was too young to know what betrayal meant but now I knew if betrayal had a face, it would be of Jared Gilbert, and that’s how much I hate him.I was trying to stop my tears but they made their way as the past flashed right back into my eyes. Flashback:My dad and mom were standing on either side of me when I was about to cut the cake. I made a wish, closing my eyes and blowing out the candles. I was wearing a dress - Princess Aurora wore and I told my dad I needed to be treated like a real Princess that day. He also got me the princess cake. It was huge and pink in colour, covered with bows and ribbons.I cut the cake and gave it to my dad first as he was my superhero and then my mom. My dad was feeding the cake to me when I heard Jared uncle shout.“George!” I looked at him, pointing the gun towards my dad. He was standing at a far distance but not very far.I saw his eyes blood red and his voice was loud when he called my father.Jared Unc
I kept holding her in my arms and looked at the slight morning light entering the room through the window indicating it’s morning.The door to the room opened and I saw Doctor Sarah coming into the view and she said.“Mr. Risso, she needs rest.”“I’m resting only, Doctor.” She said and I felt her hot breath fanning over my neck. “I need to ingest this injection, Ms. Valerina.” She said coming forwards.She tightened her hold on my shoulders when I tried to lift her off from my lap.“I guess you would have to cooperate with the position.” I said and she chuckled, nodding her head.I took Rozine’s hand off my shoulder which had IV and forwarded it towards the doctors. I held her soft and slim wrist in my arms while the doctor injected it. God! She’s soft. Shut up, Jackson! She’s weak right now.She hissed in pain and tightened her hold on my neck while I rubbed her back with my other hand. Doctor injected it and disposed of the injection in the trash bin. “Where’s Ms. Valerina?” I as
