My father sighed heavily as he watched Prue stamp her way out of the room.

“Damian, I understand your thinking, but are you certain she cannot retain her job?”

I laughed, “Are you serious. She just made me force my hand and inform the HR department of my identity. She has wrecked Erin and her trust, not to mention our relationship. I trusted her and she has broken that trust because you got into her ear. This is your doing just as much as hers. I will be back at the head of the company in 2 days, and the heartbreaking part of this all, is that I will not be there to support Erin through this.”

“Son,” he sighed.

“Leave it alone. You have done enough, all of you. I’m going back to the head office. There is nothing left at Leicester now for me.”

The words broke my heart as I said them, as Erin was there. She was still there for me, and I could tell by her cry that she needed me and wanted me. But she would need something that I could not give her. At least not yet.

I spent the

    And just like that, he was gone. I watched him walk away. Left standing alone in reception. My world shattered, pieces laying bare at my feet. There were no tears, no words, just a shattered world. I opted to stay at work, which I was quickly realising may not have been the correct idea. Prue was gone, Damian was gone, I was somehow still standing with my job but didn’t know who to turn to. My only option was to turn to Cleo, but it meant that I needed to tell her the truth, the whole truth. I tried to make my legs move but they felt like deadweight. I managed to walk to the bottom of the stairs but stood feeling dizzy as they towered in front of me. I reached out and held onto the banister for the stairs. “One step at a time.” I breathed. Slowly, I dragged my feet up, one step, one step, one step, one step. I reached the top and walked slowly through the halls until I arrived at the office door. I swiped my security card and opened the door. Cleo looked up over the desk like a

    I watched as she ran out of the room. I turned with a darkened expression to the head of the HR. “Erin, keeps her job, this report goes no further.” I stated.“That is not something you have control over Damian. This report will be investigated and if it is found that you have been in a relationship with Miss. Williams then there will be consequences for both of you.”“There will not be. As Owner of Written Ink, this is a direct order. You will ignore the report my sister has given you and no further action will be taken on this matter.”She faltered in her step as the information sank in.“You will also not discuss this matter with anyone, nor the information I have just shared with you. My identity will be revealed at the party in a couple of days. Until then, this matter has been resolved. Do you understand me?”She simply nodded.“Oh, and I have just dismissed Prue from her position here. That is not to be contested by anyone but myself. Until I say otherwise, she no longer work

    I had to put things in place after the party for me to take my place back at the head of the company. That meant that I needed to find someone to replace me in the office. It also meant that I needed to be at the head office so that I could set a lot of wheels in motion. This meant a lot of time away from the office and Erin. I could tell she felt the distance again by her messages, but I needed to get this over with. I had no idea what Prue was like with her, but she was horrendous with me, and I needed to keep Prue’s focus on me, so Erin did not experience what I was seeing. My parents had really gotten into her head about my undercover role in the office and how much the company was failing without me at the helm running things. It was all lies of course; they just wanted me back in charge and to stop playing the fool, in their words. In part, I had to wonder if it was because they also wanted me away from Erin. The more false truths they fed Prue, the worse she became, and the

    He kissed me tenderly as he dropped me off. I couldn’t help but feel like in part it was a kiss goodbye. I messaged him goodnight and he responded, which made me happy.The next week was a strange feeling in the office. Damian was not there much. He seemed to always be in meetings or working from home. Rumors were rife in the office, and people assumed he was on the verge of being let go. Everything in me hoped that they were wrong, but he asked me to trust him and the truth would be revealed. Was that the truth he was referring to?We were a couple of days away from the Christmas party when I had a call from HR asking me to go through and see them. It sounded official and like something was wrong. I looked around to find Prue not at her desk, Damian had not entered the office that morning. Cleo saw me looking around the room.“Are you alright? Your pale white.” She stated.“HR wants to see me. It sounds official.”“Any idea what it’s about?”“I have a suspicion, but I really hope tha

    She was leaving when I reached gently for her hand. I stroked her knuckles. “I really am sorry.” She nodded and I knew it meant she didn’t forgive me but was grateful for the apology. She stepped out with her puffy face and red eyes and I knew I had caused that. I just hoped that no one was out there to see what I had done. And then there it was, Cleo’s voice. Always, Cleo. Part of me was glad she had come looking for her friend though. “Erin!” She called. The look on her face towards me was hatred. She could see how upset her friend was and regardless of what Erin told her; we all knew that it was my fault. “What the hell!? Why have you been crying?” I gave her a gentle touch on the lower back and exited while I could. I knew Erin was capable of handling Cleo without needing me there to pressure her excuses. I hated the fact that she had to lie to her best friend because of me. I headed back into the office and could see the looks I was getting from everyone, but I didn’t
