Paul’s pov

Suddenly the timer rang as everybody went to their seats as I did. I got out my tablet to take in notes and record the minutes for the day as the meeting started. Lyon started to talk about a lot of things… how good the company had been doing and all that bullshit… as I almost slept off.

Then, when he was done, the financial advisors gave their own thoughts on how Alex had been destroying the company, which I sighed at and raised my hand as everybody turned to me.

“Can we all stop talking about that boy for a goddamn second and focus on something else.”

Lyon leaned back in his seat. “What are you saying, Paul?”

I shrugged. “Well, we are losing investors,” I said, getting to my feet as I picked up the pointer and used it against the wall where the financial graph was drawn. “As you can see here, point B and point A are showing a decline. Very steep. It means more than a hundred investors have decided to drop out. And those are people that invest millions into our company.”

    Lyon’s povI waited for a while as the phone rang four times before I cut it and sighed.I waited there for a moment before getting up as a buzz came in my hand. I looked at it to see that it was from Thomas. Sliding the button, I put it to my ears.“Thomas?” I asked as he laughed.“You gotta be a buzz killer huh. I was having a hot time with this girl I met at a bar. What’s with the call man?”“We need to meet.”“What do you mean we need to meet? Can’t whatever you want to say be said over the phone? Or have you made up your mind already?”“Well, I did say that we should meet before any decision is made and make plans on how it’s going to be done. But maybe I can tell you over the phone.”“Sure.”I took some time before throwing it out there. “I think we should call the whole thing off. I’m done.“What?” He chuckled nervously. “I don’t understand.”“Look, if you want more details, we can meet up tonight.”“Sure,” he cut me off. “We’ll meet and you’ll walk me through your thought proc

    Lyon’s povI finished eating and leaned back in my seat to see the rest of the family leaving the table with their bags as we bid them farewell. They wer going back to their various cities.The only one remaining was Eleanor with her son Marcus. The other one had left the house.‘I’m done with this city. It’s time I went back to my own city because the drama in this place is too much.’I raised a brow. ‘Drama?’‘Yes, the one your son is a part of.’‘Oh, come on, let’s not go through this again.’She laughed. ‘We need to go through it. It’s literally family tradition at this point. All we’ve been doing is running around this whole thing, going around the inevitable. When the truth is, your son is a problem. A big one that the entire city has been posting online for a very long time.’I looked at Leticia, who was losing her mind. She then looked at Eleanor.‘Alex is your nephew.’‘I know,’ she nodded. ‘And that’s the point. I don’t want my nephew being an embarrassment to this family.’

    Sophia’s povI got down to the parking lot to see my driver talking to a guard. As they saw me, they immediately looked away, whistling. I scoffed, walking up to the both of them.“I pay the both of you to work, you to drive, and you to look after my company, and you spend your time, what, talking to each other? Is that what this world has taught you? Do you know how many people would kill to be in your places right now, and both of you spend your time dallying around? I’m appalled. I feel like firing someone, you know? I feel that urge to fire someone. Who do you think I should get fired, you or you?”They looked at me with fear in their eyes as I smiled.“Never mind. I think I’ll fire you, my driver. How do you feel now? Do you feel like you can still pay your bills?”He didn’t say anything as I went on,“Of course you can. I pay you enough. What if I were to take away all the benefits? No severance pay? Nothing? You’ll die.”They both had apologetic looks on their faces as I smiled

    Sophia’s pov“Let’s just hang out,” I said with a sigh, leaning back into my seat. “Why are you making a big fuss about this?”I knew she was still in shock by my actions, it wasn’t a surprise to me,“You call me in the night out of the blues to hang out, and it’s not something that you usually do. So forgive me if I decide that maybe you have a brain tumor or something.”“This is stupid. I just wanted to hang out. Is this how a friend would talk to a friend?”She started to laugh loudly over the phone.“How a friend would talk to a friend? That’s how you’re putting this whole thing? Sophia, listen to yourself. All you’ve done has been to push me aside. Treat me like shit. Suddenly you want us to be friends? I’m done with that kind of friendship. If this is how you want to define friendship, I’m done. I don’t want any of it. You can take all the money you have and move aside.”I laughed out loud.“Because you have enough money to survive for the week, you think it’s going to live fore

    Sophia’s pov“Why? Watching weight? Diet? Come on, let me in on a little trade secret.”She shook her head. “No, I’m just trying my best on making sure that I don’t fall apart with a couple of diets and things.”“Alright, so why am I here?” I said, settling in as I folded my arms.She pushed the plate to the side. “Well, I clearly don’t like how Alex and Dennis is going, and right now the media is all over the place with their news and stuff. And besides, I thought you had a plan to push them apart.”“I did.” I scoffed, leaning forward to whisper to her. “And it’s falling apart, if I’m being honest.”She nodded. “Clearly it is. If not, then they will not be together. Do you need help?”I shook my head. “I have it all under control.”“And have you told your father yet?”My eyes widened as I stared at her. “What do you mean?”She smiled. “Come on. I know how brutal your father can be. At least let him kidnap Dennis and beat the shit out of him.”“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” I smi

    Sophia’s pov“We used to swim here.”“Yeah. You were a terrible swimmer.”“You were really a good swimmer.”I laughed. “I know.”“ I did want someone to teach me.”“Yes, and I did teach you.”“Did you?” I looked at him, tilting my head to the left. “After all, it always ended up with us fucking on those couches there.”Now he frowned. “What’s your point, Sophia? Where are you getting with this?”I then turned to him squarely. “I just wanted to reminisce on the past. We had some pretty good times. I’d ride you until you’d lose your mind…”He raised a hand to stop me. “That’s enough. Too much PG-18 shit going on and I don’t want to hear any of them.”I then closed the distance between us, putting a hand on his shoulder while rubbing it around before I put it to his chest.“You’ve gotten beefier. You’ve gotten more muscular than the last time that I saw you shirtless.”“Yeah, I work out.”I smiled. “Of course you do. And I really do appreciate a man who can take care of a woman.”He shoo
