Natasha

The caller was my ex-boyfriend, Michael Reynolds.

I stared at my phone, unable to pick the call. It took me time to collect it myself and I picked up eventually on the fourth ring.

“Hello,” I muttered.

“You haven't changed a single bit,” I heard his cranky voice over the phone.

It hasn't even been a month since we broke up. Did he expect my voice to change already?

“Why would you call me?” I asked him firmly.

I had a resolve to not entertain any of his small talk.

“Let's meet. I have so

    BruceI smiled, a hint of excitement on my face. Michael could probably tell as well.“Will you punish the arsonists?” I asked, looking into his eyes. I knew well enough that Michael was the one behind the arson himself.“Secretly, I would,” he replied casually. “The person who burned down the warehouse is Baldwin’s new assistant, Jason. He is an ex-boxer with a history of sports violence and he hired the people who burned down the warehouse.If you make an alliance with me, I will find the arsonists and make them confess so Jason can be arrested. That will be my first gift to you.”I had read Jason’s file which Kelvin submitted about a month ago so I knew much already. According to what was noted, Jason seemed to be competing with Michael for Baldwin’s favor.I guess this was Michael’s ploy to kill two birds with one stone. I played along, knowing it would help me in the long run.“I would appreciate the gift,” I told him, smiling.“Ah, according to our chief security officer, the lo

    Michael I woke up with a hangover on Sunday. I had overslept but that didn’t stop the severe headache I felt.I laid in the bed until afternoon when my stomach began to growl nonstop. I ordered food and when the doorbell rang in the next fifteen minutes, I knew it was the person who had come to deliver the food.I opened the door only to find Georgina right there, waiting for me with a smile.“Surprise!” she exclaimed and pushed her way inside.“You weren’t expecting me today, were you? I thought to surprise you. Have you eaten yet? If you haven’t, I should get into the kitchen and cook you something nice.”She stopped talking all of a sudden and turned towards me, filled with concern. She must have finally figured out that I wasn’t talking much.“Is there a problem?” she asked carefully.I felt like throwing her out of my apartment immediately but that wasn’t a realistic action at all.I had to make sure Baldwin didn’t doubt my loyalty until I destroyed him and if I told Georgina I

    Bruce“He was stabbed in the back by the boss he has always been loyal to… the same boss he broke my heart for…” Natasha muttered, her eyes teary.Seeing her shed tears because of Michael made me livid but I didn’t take it out on her. Rather, I talked to her calmly.“He didn’t betray you out of loyalty to Baldwin,” I said. “He betrayed you because he is a disloyal jerk whose plan has been to use you from the moment he approached you. Don’t let your heart twist it, Michael isn’t a victim.”Natasha wiped her tears, “I thought I had healed. I guess a part of me still hurts.”“Complete healing won’t be achieved in a few months, it takes more time,” I told her calmly.“Since we are on the topic, how about you continue to see Dr. Emily Bronte from now on? She says your therapy hasn't concluded with her.”“I am fine,” she cut in.“I don’t think you are. Right now, you still have scars, one you try to hide,” I say firmly.“If you can’t trust me, you can tell Dr. Emily. She will help you.”“It

    Natasha“Are you hesitating because of Bruce? You think he truly loves you, huh!” Michael exclaimed and then chuckled lightly.“You are drunk,” I muttered.“Oh really? Is that how you will disregard my words?” he asked, sounding frustrated.I took a deep breath, “I hate you, Michael. I need you to know that. However, I will be willing to collaborate with you to see the end of Baldwin. At the end of it, you can take over Mac Group if you wish, that’s your business to handle and that will be your reward. You won’t have me in the end.”“You think having you will be a reward for me?” he asked. “You are the one who should be grateful to have me.”“Right, you are drunk,” I stood up. “We should have this discussion when you are not under the influence of alcohol.”“I mean what I just said,” Michael said, his voice firm.“I will only join forces with you if you agree that in the end, we will be together. I know we had a messy breakup and that we have been hostile towards each other. However,

    Michael I found my way to the bar, staggering. I was already drunk before I went to the bar, not of alcohol but of rage.I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Baldwin was sleeping with my girlfriend out of all the girls he could get.I ordered drink after drink, hoping I would get drunk enough to relieve my anger by taking it out on some other drunk fellow. However, the alcohol wasn’t getting me drunk.“Give me something stronger,” I told the barman.“You just had the strongest thing we have,” he replied curtly.“I want something that would knock me out!” I shouted angrily. The barman took a step back at first and then he moved closer,“I could mix a few drinks. They will be powerful but I don’t know if they will knock you out.”Right then, I hesitated. It was now obvious that this situation wouldn’t be taken care of by alcohol. I had to make a move, I had to take my revenge.“No, no more drinks,” I told the bartender. I brought out my phone and called Natasha’s number instant

    Baldwin I was in the middle of sex with Georgina when I heard footsteps. Instantly, I got off her, wore my underwear and went to check it out.I was shocked to find out it was Michael and I pushed him far from the door. I had to make sure he didn't find out I was with his girlfriend.“What the hell are you doing?” I exclaimed anxiously. Then I lowered my tone, “I believe I asked not to be disturbed but if you were going to come anyway, you should have told me.”“I… I…” Michael stammered. “Who are you with, boss?”Did he know his girlfriend was with me? That couldn’t be true as I had made sure no one would find out.“Some random girl,” I replied casually. “I met her at a bar and decided to spend a weekend with her. She is quite hot, you know. I don’t think I have to tell you all these though.”“Can I see her?” he asked. “No, you can’t,” I replied firmly. “Why would you want to see her? She is just one of my whores.”“Ah, right,” Michael muttered. “I should never have asked.”“Yeah,” I

    Michael I inputted my pin and the door opened. It was with smiles that I entered, excited about how I spent my day.From the way I looked at it, it would only be a matter of time before I climbed up the ladder.I removed my suit and tie, belt and trousers, and threw them to a corner in the sitting
