FEW MINUTES LATER.
“We’ll start off with a glass of champagne each,” Director Lance said handing the menu to a standing man in tight waiter uniform. I couldn’t believe I was actually sitting opposite him, about to start drinking. I have never been an alcohol person or one who believes alcohol makes things better but lord knows I need a glass or two today.The event we initially came all the way to Mayfair for would have started, but guess what? He had figured it out beforehand. He called a day worker who ‘owed him a favor’, according to him to assist Chris in covering the event.More shocking truth: He didn’t come out here because of any ‘dumb award ceremony’ but to cheer me up because I looked like I needed comfort. Also, he had pulled it off this way because he knows I’ll never agree to go out on a date with him even if he asked naturally. Director Lance had no idea what my issues were exactly, but he was able to give the right diagnosis. I’ll

CONNORI couldn’t hold the words back.Jealously, rage erupted from me as I entered the bar following the tracker only to see Grace sitting with another male.How dare this man sit close to my woman?

GRACE.My eyes fluttered open but closed again unable to accommodate the blinding morning light streaming into the room from above.My head pounded in my skull drawing a groan from me. I tried opening my eyes again this time around but not as wide as the first time before realizing my room never had this much sunlight in the morning.Then the memories of the night before came crashing in on me like confetti. Noooooooooo! I screamed in my head.Shit. Shit. Please be a dream or nightmare, please, please, I begged the embarrassing images in my head.It came in puzzles at first, but as I looked around my environment, I realized, the memories weren’t a dream.They were real, and I was really lying on Connor’s bed, in his room.But he wasn’t here, and I wonder how long I have been out.I was going to take just a glass of drink with Director Lance, but the frustration pushed me to

AUTHOR’S NOTE.I’m using this opportunity to talk about ‘Cyber Bullies’. It is real and it hurts. A lot of people have taken their lives due to harsh comments from people who they don’t even know on the internet.So before typing and sending those harsh words, think of the feelings of the person on the receiving end. Some persons are really fragile and your words could do more damage than you can imagine.A person can be a murderer even without hurting another person physically. Your words are powerful, use them to do the right thing, use them to heal and not cause harm.You have no idea what the other person is really going through already. Your words can be what would either make them or break them.Stop Cyber bullying.If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Also, if you're going through any hurt or bullying from people you know or people you don't, I want you to kn

I picked up the phone and started scrolling through the comments under the video. I was already feeling shitty so I might as well get it over with.“You don’t have to read those, Grace, they would only make you feel worse.” Connor muttered but I simply ignored him.One of the commenter, Alpha Female wrote: “Damn! Connor Shelby be looking so hot even in pjs, I wouldn’t mind having his second child! (Laughing emoji)”I would have laughed but there wasn’t any streak of humor in me.Another commented: “Men are so rotten. How can he announce his engagement only few days ago and be found acting like a knight in shining armor to another woman? He clearly has feelings for her so why get involved with the innocent Angela Zadok?”And I had always thought I was the innocent one.Next comment: I’m dead sure she’s just a baby mama and after hearing the engagement news, she’s trying t

JODY.My house suddenly felt empty today.I sat in my sitting room, watching a new Korean drama series that I was looking forward to but I couldn’t get into it. My eyes kept going to my kitchen and imagining Marcus there making pasta.He looked perfect that day in my red apron, and the food he made was just as perfect. I thought he was going to spend the night with me that day but he couldn’t because of the threatening text he got.It gave me the chills and I can’t help being scared for him even though he kept telling me it meant nothing. The last time I called, he sounded so busy and I couldn’t even ask him when he was going to come here or if he had the plans to.A loud knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. Must be Marcus, I thought as I rushed to put on my robe and slippers. I have missed him too much to make him pissed as soon as he get here.I checked the mirror one more time to see

GRACE.I prepared my child for school the next day like a robot.My mind was on the verge of exploding. Left for me, I would begin home schooling for Laurel but this was actually the time in her life she needed to learn the basics of socializing with people. After listening to Connor’s reason for trying to stop me from leaving, an unknown fear for my child and Connor started growing on me. Everyone around him and even him was in danger. It wasn’t a joke as I had thought. Because of how things went between us, I had completely forgotten the incident that brought us back together.The assault.And if I hadn’t been at the scene that day, he would have probably died and so would his driver. An assault so horrific, he refused to go to the hospital to get treated.All because of a piece of land and a grudge.And all those times, I believed he was simply avoiding the press and how much damage

I got up immediately and followed her to her office. I felt speechless. Although I didn’t expect her to act like Michelle but I didn’t see the act of her standing up for me coming. Not only that, she sent Michelle on an unpaid leave because of me.“I’m sorry on behalf of everyone here, Grace,” she started in her regular stern tone as soon as we got into her office, “However, I believe you should take a break. I’m not sending you on an unpaid leave, I’m just telling you to go and have some time for yourself and think properly if you really want to continue working here.”“Ma’am, I love my job, I love working here. I really don’t have to think about it.” I interjected even though I knew she was right.“I know you do, Grace,” she stood behind her desk looking down at me, “But you don’t seem to get my point here. This isn’t about you anymore, Direc

JODYI sat at the reserved dining with Marcus waiting for my so-called blind date, all the while praying fervently in my heart that it isn’t one of my exes.Not to exaggerate, I’m sure I’ve dated half of the men in London. I didn’t want to think about how Marcus would react if it was one of my exes. And to be honest, I was always the one who left, the one who broke their hearts. After the epic heart break I had in high school, I turned into the one who did the heart breaks, although I never did most intentionally.Some guys were just too overbearing. Some of them were with me because of my parent’s influence, some hated my love for Korean dramas and me fan-girling Kpop idols, while some were so keen on getting married whereas I wasn’t one bit ready.Somehow, Marcus haven’t showed any sign of having one of the traits I mentioned, and sincerely, I hoped he wouldn’t. I wanted this
