“Everything is ready. The team is waiting for you downstairs,” Mr. Martins announced.

I glanced again at the vanity before me in the extra room of my office.

Today was the first official meeting for the contract, scheduled to take place at the Ronald Reagan Building by 10 a.m.

The wall clock behind me read 8:45 a.m.

I’d reported to work as early as 7. The triplets were still asleep, worn out after a long night with their new puppy.

Upon arrival in my office, I’d changed into one of Mr. Émile Laurent’s newest creations: a custom-tailored emerald-green power suit, sculpted to hug my silhouette. It matched a pair of wide-leg trousers that fell over my perfectly polished black stilettos.

The glam team had come and gone. My makeup was soft yet defined.

My hair was pulled into a low bun, and my accessories were minimal but bold.

Taking a deep breath, I turned to Mr. Martins, a small smile on my lips.

“Alright. Let’s do this.”

He led the way.

    —Alec—Time drifted slowly.One moment, I was in my bedroom, still processing the fact that Mabel Parker hadn’t called or tried to reach out. The next, I was seated in the boardroom of my company’s skyscraper, rounding off a meeting with my team for the government contract as the afternoon sun bathed Washington city in its golden haze.My company, the Rivera Group, had secured a spot among the top contenders for the contract, and had been invited to the Federal Conference taking place tomorrow at the Ronald Reagan Building.The meeting came to a smooth end, and while my team exited the room, I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping from my glass of water. I watched the city below bustle—oblivious to the storm in my head.A soft knock came on the door.I tilted my head, in time to see Janice step into the room. “Sir, they’re almost here,” she announced. Lowering my cup to the table, I slipped on my sunglasses and proceeded out of the room.The ride to the airport was a short one

    —Mabel—My heart has never pounded so fast.Adrenaline coursed through my veins as we slipped into the car. “Drive!” I blurted and the driver steered us out of the parking lot.Alec Rivera almost caught us. Through the rear mirror, I saw him burst out of the elevator and scout the parking lot.“Yayyy!!” the children jubiliated as we drove down the streets of Washington, oblivious to what really happened. “Mission accomplished! We’re the best secret agents, mommy!” Eloise rasped.“Yes, you are, darling,” I replied, masking the storm brewing inside me with a smile.Ruth and I exchanged glances.As soon as we pulled up in the driveway to our mansion, the children clambered down the car, the new puppy nestled in Damian’s arms as they scooted for the mansion.I exhaled and glanced at Ruth.“Are you okay?” she asked as we walked towards the terrace.“Yes.” I nodded.Ruth sighed and stopped walking. “Mabel. I understand you didn't want to bother him because you thought he was getting married

    —Alec—“We’re here, sir,” Mr. Benson announced.I looked up from my phone—the Maybach had pulled up into the VIP parking lot of my favorite mall.My gaze drifted across the tinted windows and sighted my security, keeping tabs on me from a respectful distance.Good. Today, I intend to keep a low profile.A valet surged forward, opened the door, and bowed. “Welcome, Mr. Rivera.”Glancing at him with a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes, I tucked my phone into my pocket, and alighted from the car.My steps were swift and purposeful as I headed toward the private elevator and pressed in the number for the top floor.I glanced at my watch. It was 2 PM.The glass doors closed and the elevator began its smooth ascent, dinging open again at the top floor.Exhaling, I stepped into the mall, taking in the cool air and the sight of families walking through the wide corridors. Laughter rang in the air and small feet pattering on the marble floor as a little boy ran past me.“Richard!” His moth

    —Mabel—Last night was a success. I arrived home, past midnight. The kids were already fast asleep in their rooms, a sight that warmed my heart.Exhaling, I walked to my room and enjoyed a warm bath, before slipping under the sheets. Sleep enveloped me immediately.“Mommy!!” The sounds of tiny feet echoed into my room.My eyes fluttered open, taking in the morning sun, then the sight of my children surging toward my bed. “Mommy, you’re back!”They clambered onto my bed and hugged me. Laughing, I hugged them too, gently sitting up against the plush pillows.“Mommy, when did you come back ?” Eloise asked.“I came back last night, while you three were still asleep.”“How was the gala?” Nathaniel asked.“It was fine. Mommy’s company is now one of the top contenders.”They squealed and hugged me tighter. Tears of joy prickled my eyes.“We missed you so much,” Damian cooed.“I missed you guys too.”We straightened from the hug just as footsteps echoed into the room. Mrs. Chukwuemeka stood i

    —Alec—I was with Clarissa Wren, but my attention kept drifting to Mabel.The moment Dr. Evelyn left, I dismissed Clarissa. “Excuse me, a minute,” and headed over.Nothing prepared me for the shock that tumbled my system when she denied knowing me.“It’s me, Alec. Alec Rivera,” I stuttered, flabbergasted.But she insisted not knowing me.It was her scent. I was certain. It was those brown eyes—the same ones I had looked into that morning six years ago.How could she not remember me? Or was she snubbing me? Reducing me to nothing.I was still trying to wrap my head around it, when that ‘bastard’ walked in. Tom Marlow.She brushed us off as if we were children.Boys?No woman has ever called me that— except my grandma. They feared me. Respected me. Revered me…none had ever tried to look down on me as she did.Yet, I wasn't even offended. I only wanted to be acknowledged by her. What was that? Helplessness.I am Alec Rivera. I’ve never been helpless before a woman.Gnashing under my bre
