SLEEPING NEXT TO A STRANGER CHAPTER 121
ASHLEY. Angrily, I walked to my office. The soft carpet muffled my footsteps as I tried in vain to calm myself down. "Why didn't Mr. Drew accept me?" I asked myself as I walked around the office, looking through the familiar surroundings with my mind wandering. But I mean, I've thrown myself at him probably a million times, he still wouldn't accept me, I thought, frustrated and disappointed. Why doesn't he see how much I care for him? How is it only me who recognizes him? While I stood there lost in thought, Ezra was calling. Ezra is my partner, and the biological father of the baby I bear in my womb. I took a deep breath and answered the phone, trying to stabilize myself. "Hey, love," I said back in a low tone, sounding calm and collected. Ezra's words were like an electric current running through my entire being. "We've got him," Ezra, my partner, said to me, his voice low, like some kind of menacing undertone. A chill ran all the way down my spine as I processed what he was s

DREW. I walked into the company where my attention was caught. The cleaner was smiling as she worked like bright sunshine across her face. "Good morning, sir," she said. Her voice was friendly enough and cheerful enough to glow holistically. I stood watching her for a while in a puzzle as to what must have been the cause for her smile. “What could have caused that smile?" I asked myself, curious about it. I stood there, she walked up to me and stretched her hand for a handshake. "Congratulations sir," she said, sparkling in her eyes as she did it. I confused myself since I found it utterly meaningless. "Congratulations for what?" I asked her with a confused look on my face. "Are you not aware, sir?" she said, looking at me in a combination of shock and fun. I shook my head as if I had to shake off the doubt. "No, I'm not. What's the congratulations for? Did we snag a multi-million contract?" I asked, trying to figure out what exactly was her reason for congratulating me. "No

NINA.With every passing moment, my disgust at the auction increased. These men, who pretended to be my father's fellow workers and friends, were now happy to buy his company, positively revelling in his downfall. How jubilantly they laughed, and this only fortified my determination to stop the auction. I thought fast and devised a plan for preventing the spurious acquisition of my family's company.I sat there, my mind racing with ideas and strategies, as the auction continued. The bidding heated up, and I could feel the thrill coursing through the participants. But I refused to give up. I was determined to find a way to halt the proceedings and secure my family's future.“I need to come up with an idea, " I told myself, as my mind raced with ideas, trying to come up with a plan to stop the auction. “I need to use laurel influence”, i thought. I paced the room in an agitated manner, softly padding my feet on the floor as I struggled to clear my mind for a way out.I tried to think o

NINA. I woke up feeling completely exhausted with my body heavy from fatigue. "Yesterday was way too stressful," I said to myself almost whispering as I sat atop my bed nursing an idea concerning the new day. Then I swung my legs over the side of the bed toward its floor, my eyes fell on the tray with food, carefully lined with a letter on top. My heart jerked fast as I picked the letter up; it was filled with all the sweet words from my loving husband. "Good morning, my queen, I love you so much," it said, and every word radiated through the letter itself. A warm smile spread across my face as I just sat there cherishing and adoring. The very end made me think, "This is such an intentional man," my heart swelling in gratitude. I mean, how could I not be touched by that gesture in the form of starting my day right? I picked up the fork and started eating, chewing lovely bites of the delicious food that he prepared for me. My tongue danced with the flavor, while I felt my energy le

DREW. A tide of disbelieving cold rushed over me, followed by an onset of raw, violent fury. “You must be crazy for that!” I yelled, the sound echoing in the sudden silence that had almost fallen about us. Without another word, without another glance, I abruptly turned; my vision again was blurred with a potent mix of rage and disbelief, and I drove off into the night, the image of her hand on her stomach seared into my mind. After all, I came home with the familiar weight of the front door against my back, a strange comfort as I leaned there. Finally, I opened the door with my hand since I was tipsy. "I'm home", I declared, the words escaping my mouth turning into a drawn-out moan that hung in the air, swallowed by the unyielding silence of the empty hallway. I suddenly was washed over by a wave of realization. “Oh my God, it's late, " I said as a momentary thrust of guilt shot through the cloud still hovering in my head. “She must be sleeping. I said. Slowly an

DREW. After a million ticking moments, I reached the bar, a kind of refuge from life in which to lay my want for some solitary calm; the moment I parked was the moment I felt alive, knowing very well that it was here that I could finally go through the mental motions of dropping down my guard and spending some time just soaking in time. With that feeling hanging on, I turned off the engine; all fell silent, broken only by the faint chirping of birds somewhere high in the trees. I threw the door open to the evening chill and headed for the VIP area. The bouncer acknowledged my entrance with a nod; the doors opened to luxury and opulence. The interior had plush finishes, with reclining sofas and chrome accents sending light back at their source in scintillating reflections. A waitress clad in a fitted uniform greeted me, her smile so wide it almost seemed to be able to pierce through a storm. She had grabbed a file that was to be my menu. "What may I offer you, sir?" the waitress
