The door to his office pushed open and she gently sauntered into the room. Xavier, who was busy with a document, immediately turned his attention to her and stood up. He didnât flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.âHey, youââArenât you excited to see me?â Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.âYou are finally hereâ Xavier forced himself to say, âi actually thought you might not come back but here you areââAre you upset?â Bianca couldnât help but ask him as he came face to face with her, âwhyâŠâWhy?â Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, âhow can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I amâ he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,â I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?âI said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?â She inquired, âand I am sorry okay? I was just v
Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.âI can see you are all ready to leave?â She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.âYes auntâ she replied, âfashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to thingsââWellâ aunt Aurora shrugged, âyour flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, childâA small frown appeared on Biancaâs forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.âOf course auntâ she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, âI am all earsâAunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.âMy dearâ she began almost immediately, âdonât you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?âThe frown on Biancaâs face intensified and s
The moment Nathanâs car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasnât this too exquisite?âHello sirâ the receptionist flashed him a smile, âwelcome to sugarââI am here to see Mr Stefan,â he answered.âOne secondâ the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.âYes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolsideâWith one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didnât waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.âLet him go,â Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didnât even bother to hide the
Dressed in a pair of blue tailored suit, Nathan pulled his hair into a neat bun before making his way out of the room. It was a weekend and everyone was at home, including audrey. It was already an hour to his flight, he didnât want to miss it. As much as he wanted to stay with Paige, he knew Esperanza also needed him.So with that at the back of his head, he heaved a sigh before walking up to Paige who looked like she was about to cry.âAre you really leaving?â Even if she was just a child, Paige had come to love Nathan more than anything in the world. She was not aware of her relationship with him yet but despite that, she loved him more than the world,âI thought you said you wanted to stay with meâNathan gently cupped her tiny hands in his own hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead, he felt like a groom leaving his wife behind at the wedding alter,âI have to leave, princessâ he said after a while, âsomething urgent came up and I have to go okay?ââBut can I come with you?â Tea
It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasnât he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.âWhy are you here, Nathan?â She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, âit is already so late and you are here?ââCan we talk?â The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, âI can not sleep and I think we should talkâBianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didnât want to wake her up.âWhat exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?â She akdes again, âwe have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to youââWe can either talk here in our daughterâs presence or away from her hearin
Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.âWhat are you saying, Bianca?â He was completely lost for words.âYou like me, donât you?â She asked from the other end, âI think we should get married, what do you think?âWhy are you suddenly saying all this, B?â He couldnât help but ask, âdid Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?â She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.âYou know what?â Bianca began to talk again, âit was a mistakeâ not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a
Dressed in a pair of black flay pants and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into her pants, Louisa made her way into the vip room and she was not surprised to see him standing near the window looking as dashing as always.This was the first man she ever fell in love with and even if she knew that nothing was ever going to happen between them again, she was quite aware that Stefan was always ready to do anything for her. Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.âI thought you were not going to comeâ he said while taking slow steps towards herâAnd here I amâLouisa answered, âwe should get straight to businessâAfter talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o
A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.âBossâ he greeted, âyou sent for meââI have a job for you, Augustoâ he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.âI am at your service bossâ Augusto answered, âjust give the orderââLouisa called,â the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible! How did she even get Stefanâs number again?âYou are surprised right?â Stefan inquired, âI can see the look on your faceâ he puffed smoke out of his mouth again.âI have not heard her name for years now bossâ Augusto respo
It was already past seven in the evening when Nathan made his way downstairs from his daughterâs room. After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didnât want to stay in a house full of women.âWhere are you going?â Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, âI cleaned up the guest room for you,â she added.âThank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on herââDid you tell Bianca you were leaving?âHe shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,âShe wouldnât care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I really appreciateââI am doing it for my niece and not you, Nathanâ she told him and he nodded at her.âI will take my leave nowâAunt Aurora didnât bother to stop him, she knew he was going through a lot too. It was not easy for him just as it was not easy for Bianca.âWaitâ a voice called out to him and he halted, Bianca was coming down from the stairs and s
