Michael

I had a mini-bar in my apartment and it was there where I sat all night.

I drank slowly so I wouldn’t get drunk easily. The incidents of the day kept me awake.

There was the disrespect Bruce showed me at his mansion and then Baldwin and Jason’s threat. I felt the pain in my veins.

Around midnight, my phone started to ring. The caller was my girlfriend, Georgina. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to her right now but I knew I had to pick up. If she was calling this late at night, she might b

    Baldwin “We are here, boss,” I heard my driver say. I dropped the newspaper right after my car’s door was opened by the security agents out there to receive me.I was escorted into the main office building and only then did the agents turn back. Jason took on the role of my escort and entered my office with me.I sat down on my chair and did a brief check of the documents before me. Most of them were things I’ve seen.“This should be sorted out,” I told Jason while pointing at my table. “I want only the new documents here.”“I will take care of it, boss,” Jason noted.“Good. You should start right away. Also call Michael inside immediately,” I ordered.“Well, err… he isn’t in the office building currently,” Jason said weakly. I strained my ears, wondering if I heard that correctly.“What do you mean he isn’t here on a Monday morning by this time? He should be here by this time!” I exclaimed.“Of course, that’s how it should be. I don’t know why he is late. Should I have someone check

If she was calling this late at night, she might be in trouble.“What is it?” I asked the moment I picked up.“I’m coming over. You are at your apartment, right?” she asked. I could hear noise in the background. She was in a pretty loud place.“No, not tonight,” I replied. “I want to be alone.”“Well, I don’t want to be alone, darling. I’m at the club on the next street. I will be there in fifteen minutes,” Georgina told me firmly.Her tone told me that she wouldn’t be changing her mind. Usually, I would have given in at that point but tonight

  • The CEO's Contract Bride: Marriage On Paper   Time To Say Goodbye

    Natasha With the party running to its end, people began to leave; some alone, others in pairs. Abigail and I stood by the door, wishing them farewell.I didn’t understand the reason we had to go through that stress but Abigail kept saying that it was the family’s tradition.“You would be the one to carry on this tradition after I pass on. You’d better focus,” she scolded me.I sighed since that was the only thing I could do to show my displeasure. Abigail’s eyes haunted me so badly that I started to cooperate.I smiled at the leaving guests, struck conversations to show I cared about them and at some point, the attention of the guests was on me.“Of course, she is eloquent. She is my grand-daughter in law. Would you expect less from her?” Abigail asked them, her voice stinking with pride.I could tell she was enjoying the attention I was getting on my behalf. I had been smiling so much that I was starting to love my duty.Upon sighting James and Rosie at the exit door, the smile on m

    Natasha “One more word from you and you’ll be the one leaving this table,” Bruce said, his voice firm.His eyes were fixed and determined. Bruce was angry.“Did you just threaten to throw me out of the mansion?” James asked.“No, that’s not it. You can’t jump into conclusions like that,” Abigail muttered, still trying to appease James.“Yes!” Bruce shouted. “If you do not compose yourself, you’ll be thrown out of the mansion and denied entry from this moment onwards.”“Bruce! Take that back instantly. He isn’t someone you can be rude to,” Abigail cut in instantly.“I mean what I just said, grandma. You can keep tolerating his bad behavior. He is fifty five but he still acts like a teenager since he knows you got his back. You are the cause of all of his tantrums!” Bruce said angrily.“You’ll hold your tongue right there, boy,” Abigail told him angrily. Bruce stood up and began to walk away. He stood by the entrance and turned to me.“Let’s go, darling,” he muttered.“You can go if yo

    Natasha “Of course, I’m asking you. Who else would I ask?” he asked, facing me directly. I was confused,“I thought you were asking your daughter or something.”His daughter who was beside him gave me a penetrating gaze. It was like she had just warned me to watch what I was saying. Did she hate to be associated with him?“The question was directed to you,” he told me coldly.“Well, I don’t know. I didn’t even know Abigail had a nephew until today,” I replied decisively.“What’s my name?” he asked.“I didn’t even know you until today. Of course, I don’t know your name. Do you mind telling me?” I asked in a bid to explain myself.“I mind!” he exclaimed. “We have only met briefly but you have shown yourself to be nonchalant. I do not have conversations with people like that. How wouldn’t you know I exist? You surely knew and chose to ignore me.”I didn’t reply. Now I understand Maria very well. This man was indeed nasty. I sat down, determined to ignore him from now on.“How dare you s

    Natasha Florence and Max seemed like a match made in heaven. If they weren’t step-siblings, they would definitely be lovers. Even now, they seemed like each other's soulmate.“I don’t think anyone would be bored around you guys,” I said with enthusiasm.“If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t like it. We only have one life to live, why should someone do it in such an uptight manner?” Max asked calmly.“Exactly. We should live our short lives in an exciting manner,” Florence agreed. Those two, they were really two peas in a pod.I saw Abigail begin to approach. She stopped in front of us and smiled, “I see you are getting along with Natasha.”“Of course. I think I might be in love with her,” Max muttered with a chuckle.“I know you are jovial but you shouldn’t make jokes like that, huh. If Bruce finds out-” Florence warned in a lighthearted manner.“Oh yes, I’d better watch my tongue,” Max replied and even more laughter ensued.“We are having dinner in the main building.

    Baldwin If I had been told that one day, I would have to visit Bruce to plead like a loser, I would probably disbelieve. Well, today was that day.I walked into the mansion’s main building with a bottle of white wine. It’s disrespectful to visit someone empty-handed, you know.I was escorted to th

    Natasha “They shouldn’t date. No, they can’t,” I said firmly.Bruce stared at me curiously. He must be wondering why I was so firmly against it. While I was against it, he was in support. One would have to bend for the other.“Alright, give me a reason,” he told me.“No, I won’t,” I shook my head.
