Kenzie

The entire atmosphere in the office changed by Monday. The reason wasn’t far-fetched. Kelvin and I had posted pictures of us on a date yesterday.

The conversation had shifted completely from a dating speculation to a confirmation. It was amazing how fast news spread in the company.

It was an organization with tens of thousands of people as employees, maybe close to a hundred thousand if you check all subsidiaries.

There were different kinds of people there. Stalkers who would check our

  • The CEO's Contract Bride: Marriage On Paper   When Love Is Angry

    Bruce I woke up feeling exhausted. It was as if I had been working in my sleep. Despite how I was feeling, I had to go to work.I looked around but there was no trace of Natasha. She wasn’t the type to wake up so early in the morning but that didn’t get me worried. Today might just be an exception for her.I washed my face and brushed my teeth before stepping out of my room. I figured Natasha would be around there.However, I couldn’t find her no matter how hard I looked. I had begun to get worried when a maid came close to me, holding a note.“I found this on the table while cleaning up this morning, sir,” the maid muttered. I checked it for myself and it was Natasha’s handwriting.The content was simple: “I’m going to the motel. I have to see her right now. It can’t wait till the morning. I’ll stay safe, love you.”I sighed and clenched the note in my fist. “Where is my wife?” I asked the maid.“I haven’t seen her around this morning,” she replied weakly. That could only mean that

    Natasha I waited for Bruce to come back. Since I had sent him where he went, it was only right that I don’t sleep as well.With time, I began to feel sleepy. To combat it, I tried watching a movie and eating popcorn. It did help but when I ran out of popcorn, sleep peeked in.I caught myself dozing off a few times and that’s when I realized I needed to change my strategy. It was late so I didn’t want to call someone to make more popcorn for me. Rather than do that, I decided to have a drink.I chose wine, the non-alcoholic kind. I wondered if it was alright to call it non-alcoholic considering that it still had one percent of alcohol in it. This thought and many others dominated my mind and kept me awake until Bruce’s arrival.When he arrived, it was twenty minutes past one o’clock in the midnight. He was looking more tired than ever.I went to him instantly, putting my hands around his neck.“Did you drive back by yourself?” I asked.“Yes,” he nodded. “I’m really tired right now.”“

    BruceI wanted the kiss to continue… maybe escalate into something more. It didn’t and that’s just sad, I know.I would have to track down this man in question that caused me not to spend time with my wife. I called Joe via the burner phone he gave to me.“What’s up, prince charming?” he asked.“I need you to track someone’s whereabouts for me,” I requested.“That will cost you…” he was saying.“Oh, come on. I’m sure you know my net worth. Forget about the cost and get to work immediately. I will send you his name and picture,” I told him coolly.“Alright, I will work on it. Send what I need,” he replied.“How long will it take?” I asked. “Depends… Is it urgent?” he asked.“It is,” I replied impatiently.“Give me fifteen minutes,” he replied and then cut the call. It took around seven minutes before he called me back. He had what I needed by that time.“Go ahead,” I permitted.“He was last captured on a CCTV camera near WX Club. I believe he entered the club and hasn’t come out since

    Natasha “You must learn how to control your anger, Natasha,” Dr. Emily muttered.“Pouring a glass of water on his face was provocative. That wasn’t ladylike at all. Also, you got worked up too much in the conversation. I understand he is a jerk but you didn’t have to act like him.”I took a deep breath before replying. “That bastard…” I paused. “He broke my friend’s heart and who knows? He might be the end of her life. He is a devil.”“I’m not arguing about that. What I’m saying is that you should keep your cool next time,” Dr. Emily replied coolly.“Well, I’m not sure,” I shrugged.“As for your friend, we will have to find her some other way,” she muttered.“I am sure she will appear close to Bajie. She is obsessed with him. She will definitely go to see him,” I replied confidently.“That sounds like you are saying we should hire someone to follow Bajie around,” Dr. Emily muttered.“That’s what you think, Emily. Should we do that? I could make a call, make some arrangements…” I sugg

    Natasha “Did Marie tell you anything? That bitch… I’ll kill her with my own hands,” Bajie swore angrily.I clenched my fists in anger. It was saddening… no, frustrating to see the person my best friend had spent so much on.“What do you mean by that, Mr. Bajie?” Dr. Emily asked. “From what I heard, this person in question is your girlfriend.”“Ex-girlfriend,” he corrected.“Oh, you have the boundaries properly set already,” Dr. Emily replied, a smile on her face. He crossed his arms, confidence visible all over him.“She must be begging to have me back already. Did she try to commit suicide?” he asked. “Don’t tell me, did she die already?”“Scumbag!” I spat on him. His eyes reddened in anger and he raised his hands to hit me.Those hands never descended. He must have reconsidered midway. He should know I had a husband that would kill him if it ever got out that he hit me.“Get out of here, you wench, else I will kill you,” he threatened. Dr. Emily stepped in as calmly as she could.“

    Natasha “By any chance, can you help someone break free from a toxic err… obsessive relationship?” I asked carefully.Dr. Emily looked flustered the moment she heard that but she didn’t let that expression last long.“First of all, I need to know the victim,” she said carefully.“I’m not the one,” I replied.“Oh great,” she touched her chest. She sounded glad to hear it.Now I understood why she was flustered in the first place. She must have thought I was the victim with Bruce as the assailant. She asked now,“Who is the victim?”“A friend of mine,” I replied.“You don’t seem like the type to have a lot of friends,” she said carefully.“Well, you are right. This particular friend used to be my best friend until recently. Please don’t ask why we fell out. It’s extremely personal,” I told her firmly.“I won’t ask,” she replied. “After all, we are supposed to be helping your friend right now. Can you bring her to see me? I will see if I can help her after we meet.”I sighed. “I’m not s

    Bruce I thought about what Kenzie said and it made a lot of sense. Letting go of our employees would be a bad decision.I took a deep breath.“Then we could pretend to have them fired,” Natasha offered. “Maybe give them a few weeks of paid vacation.”“But they could still resign if they get an off

    Natasha I took a step back, shocked by the words Marie uttered. I didn’t know she was this dangerous but… maybe I should have known.From the moment she stole my savings with the help of her boyfriend, I should have known she was against me.I thought I had a friend, it was an enemy in disguise.“
