Hey Guys, I am so sorry I haven't updated in 4 days now. I fell quite ill and that has really affected my writing pace. I hope y'all would be patient with me while I recover, it might take a little while for another update but i would try my best to make it come soon (hopefully not up to a week from now). There is still a lot of drama to read about, I hope you all would be here for it, thank you so much for reading my book, I love all of you so much XOXO
"Are you mad boy!" Ethan said standing between Jake and me, I adjusted my stance ready for anything and I watched Jake suddenly retreat. "What is she doing here Dad" he huffed, as Ethan stood beside me, wrapping his hands around me, "Emily and I are in a relationship," Ethan said with a smirk on his face. Jake squeezed his face almost disfiguring it as he glared at me, "You really have no shame do you?" he spat. "Is this why you came?" Ethan interrupted, honestly even if he didn't, I had no plans of answering that stupid question. Jake shook his head still glaring at me."Well then, why don't you spit out why you are here and stop interrupting us,"Ethan's voice held an air of authority but also a soft compassionate tune, like an extremely strict father who also loved his son. "It's Alfred, your old assistant, he has been talking," Jake said finally peeling his eyes away from me and giving his attention to his father. "Talking?" Ethan asked with a raised eyebrow. "Talking to wh
I was just inches away from getting crushed when a handsome stranger saved me, pulling me close to him and holding me in his arms"Are you insane" I heard the driver of the truck yell."Shut up and learn to drive" the handsome stranger fought back, I was too stunned to move as the Man's grip on my back lingered. "Are you okay?" Jennifer asked, moving towards me, I didn't even notice when she ran out of the street."I...fine..." I stuttered. My heart pounding like it was about to leave my chest. "Are you sure?" the man asked and I nodded, moving away from his grip, my heart still racing. "I....am...fine," I said carefully. "Please be careful next time, the world can't afford to lose a damsel," he said the most cheesy line I had ever heard and Jennifer chuckled. "Thank you," she said on my behalf gushing over the tall dark-haired man, standing inches away from me. "Thank you" I stuttered, still panicking."We were just about to have brunch at the cafe, would you like to join us" J
I woke up to find myself in a strange bed in a red room, a strange man lying beside me. "What is..." I tried to understand what was going on when I noticed someone standing over me with folded arms, I cleared my eyes as my sight was still blurry trying to make out the figure when it rang in my head. "Ethan" I called out quickly sitting up, to realize I was naked, with no blanket to cover and no clothes in sight just naked beside Ian while Ethan stood by the bed staring at me with furrowed brows and disappointed eyes. "What going on" I asked and Ethan just frowned. "I should ask you the same thing" Ethan's voice vibrated. "I tracked your phone here, to find you in bed sleeping with another man" Ethan's voice deepened but his pitch wasn't high. "I don't understand" I said as the last memory of myself in the bar flooded in. "He drugged me" I yelled turning to Ian and pushing him to wake up but he was high and passed out.I looked back at Ethan whose eyes held no emotion, feeling
"Bring him to me, I will find out who is responsible myself" Ethan gave instructions to the person on the other end of the call while I lay on the passenger seat staring at him, I still felt confused and sick watching everything play out before me. "Your friend Jennifer?" Ethan said leaning toward me."Do you think she has any motive to do such a thing to you?" Ethan asked and I shook my head, Jennifer would never, she was my best friend. "No, she would never" I assured and Ethan just shook his head. "She lied" Ethan informed me. "she lied about being with you on that day," Ethan said and my eyes narrowed."There are Cameras showing both of you together, with that guy too" Ethan explained and my heart skipped a beat. Why would Jennifer lie?"She would never harm me" I stuttered not sure anymore, then the memory of what the guy said flooded back. "It's Gloria" I announced, "Gloria did it" I was certain, I knew there was no way Gloria would let me be with Ethan, she probably wanted
"It's nothing," he said flashing a fake smile at me, I raised an eyebrow hoping to let him know I wasn't buying his lies. "Tell me." I demanded, placing a hand on my waist and glaring at him. "Alfred is using the information I have given him against me?" Ethan finally explained. "When I hired Alfred, I thought he could be trusted and I let him in on some private information, which I never should have, now he is using this information against me" Ethan explained, he sounded so vulnerable and disappointed. My poor baby, "What kind of information are these?" I wondered softening my eyes at him and moving closer to hug him. "A few lies, some information about my company, defamatory things," Ethan said, he was still just touching the surface but I was glad he was at least telling me something. "And these lies, is there a way you can prove his lying?" I asked and Ethan shrugged. "It's not just about me, I can discredit what he says but I had an investor, and that investor is crazy,
"You're aware he has a massive crush on you, right?" Jennifer pointed out, a mischievous grin on her face, as we entered her apartment building."Who?" I asked, feigning innocence and acting oblivious to whom she was referring to."William, obviously. That guy practically drools over you," she teased."As if!" I scoffed, brushing off the notion."Do you think we got the day off just because?""Yeah, because the CEO's daughter happens to be my best friend."Jennifer and I worked together at Castle Tech, she was the daughter of the famous tech guru "Maxwell Coltmen" and the owner of the company.You would think having such a rich father would make her an executive but her father had a theory about starting from the bottom, hence making her a junior marketing staff just like the rest of us. "You know I don't get any privileges for that," she remarked as we got into the elevator, she was right, no one gave her any special treatment, and she was treated just like the rest of us. "Well,
I felt tongue-tied watching my friend's sister bounce on my boyfriend's joystick, tears streaming down my eyes, as they mocked me. What did I do to deserve this, a part of me wanted to march in there and pull her off him, but the other part of me just wanted to walk away.Following the other part of me, I turned around, not saying or word or interrupting them, I walked out of the house, my sight foggy from tears as I made my way to Jennifer's house. I banged hard against her door, eager for her to open up, "what!" She yelled opening her door to find me crying in front of it. "Emily" her voice softened as soon as she set eyes on me. "what is going on" she asked placing her hands on my shoulder, she walked me into her apartment. "Did you know" I managed to ask as soon as we got into her private space."is that why you don't like him" I said to her, unable to raise my voice beyond a whisper."What is it Em" she wondered, as my cry slowly got louder, I felt betrayed, and hurt, my hea
Note: Written in 3rd person for a wider perspective. Emily laughed hysterically, thinking Jennifer was joking "You are joking right" she said laughing harder, she assumed there was no way Jennifer could mean what she had just said. Jennifer shook her head with a straight face, she wasn't joking, "I am not Emily" she replied with a serious voice, staring at Jake's father. "You are!!" Emily exclaimed picking up the grape from her drink, pulling it out of the pick with her teeth."I would rather get with a random stranger" she said buying the idea of hooking up with a random stranger now that the option was that or Jake's father."But isn't he so dreamy" Jennifer gawked unable to take her eyes off him, she had always had a crush on him, but knew it was impossible since he was her father's best friend. "He is" Emily replied not sparing him a second glance. "well if you don't, Rose would" Jenifer chuckles."Rose" Emily jumped at the name, she wondered why she felt more hatred for Rose
