Chapter 45 'You love her, Knox' He tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time as the words echoed in his head, and he scoffed as he sat up on the bed, running his fingers through his hair crazily. How the fuck was this even possible? He asked himself, but didn't even bother to tell himself that it was all lies. He couldn't deny what his friend said, at least, not after how angry he was back there when he saw her with another man. "What should I do now?" He mumbled and sighed briefly. "Let's get her," He replied to himself before he made up his mind to do whatever it took him to get back now. He was going to fall in love with her, and make things right again. Waking up in the middle of the night and surfing the internet was really crazy, especially when he kept searching nonstop, how to treat a woman. 'How to get your ex-wife back' 'How to be a better man' 'How to treat a woman you have feelings for' 'I feel angry when I see her with another man. Wha
Chapter 46 "Shit!" He cursed under his breath before he stormed out of his office. "Sir, the..." Aliyah was saying, but he was already out of sight before she could finish her statement, so she pulled a puzzled look, wondering what has come over him. "What is wrong with him?" She didn't want to take even a nanosecond of her time to ask that question, but the way he took off was ridiculously strange, and she found everything funny. "Maybe he has something to take care of, who knows," She concluded and shrugged as she sat back on the chair, resuming her work. Knox walked briskly along the hallway, taking the possible route where he could bump into Nina, and fortunately, he saw her step out of the elevator just when he was about to take the other one. "Oh, you are here? Did you come to see me?" Nina stopped on her track and crossed her arms on her chest as a smirk laced up her lips, and he scoffed angrily. "What are you doing here?" He asked, trying hard n
Chapter 47 It was a Monday morning, the day that the shooting of the Orange entertainment project was scheduled to start, and Aliyah was supposed to be there early enough so the preparation could start. The sound of her blaring alarm pulled her out of her deep slumber, and she tossed on the bed tiredly before she forced her eyes open, after which she glanced at the wall clock. It was 6am, and since she had to go to the location early enough, she stood up from the bed and dragged herself into the bathroom to have her bathe, which lasted for fifteen minutes before she walked back into her room to get dressed. She got dressed in less than thirty minutes, leaving her room afterward. As she descended down the staircase minutes later, she rolled her eyes when she saw Tate in the living room. Of course, she knew he was going to be on about how gorgeous she was, and that was the last thing she wanted at the moment since she was nervous. "You are so..." "Don't even go t
Chapter 48 "Knox?" She called surprisingly after she glanced around to be sure she was in the right place. If she was really in the right place, the what was Knox doing here? "I learned you are going to be starting your shoot today, so I came to watch you..." He paused and glanced at Tate, as he clenched his fingers tightly into a fist, the urge to punch him hard on the face spurred through him, but he knew that would be a disaster if he dared raise his hand on him. "To watch me?" She scoffed unbelievably as she crossed her arms on her chest. "Uhm... Yes. I got this for you," He said as he held out the chrysanthemums bunch of flowers he has been holding since, while having a smile lingering on his face. "Oh, wow! That is so sweet of you," She squeaked excitedly as she carefully took the flowers from him, while Tate watched her in surprise, wondering what came over her. How could she get so excited over a flower that hee ex-husband got for her? He asked himself
Chapter 49 The film crew were all set in the enclosed beautiful and large office, ready for the shooting. Tate and Knox were also present. "Camera rolling?... Sound rolling? Speed? And action!" The director said, and the door suddenly flung open, and Emily Donald (Aliyah) walked in majestically. She was graced in a black suit and white inner shirt. She had light makeup on her, her thick black lengthy hair was falling freely down her shoulders, and she smelt nice. "Wow! Seriously? Ugh! What is the meaning of this?" She mumbled as she rubbed her fingers on the table as clouds of dust accompanied them. Slowly, she rubbed her fingers together and scoffed as she fumed in anger. "Who is there? Who is there?" She yelled as she slammed her hands on the table. "Shit! I forgot I don't have a secretary anymore. Ugh! Why is everyone quitting their job? Am I that bad?" She huffed angrily as she ran her fingers through her hair. "I think I must be going crazy, because wh
Chapter 50 "Ugh! I was so nervous," Aliyah whined as she walked back to the dressing room with Tate walking beside him, and he scoffed. "I have always known you to be someone dedicated. You did a good job back there," He uttered, and she stopped walking, tilting her head to look at him with a smile on her face. "Thank you for believing in me, Tate," She smiled at him, and he scoffed. "Now, you are acknowledging me. Aww! I'm so excited. Do you want to buy me food if you are grateful enough?" He smirked at her, and she nodded her head affirmatively. "Of course, I will," She uttered before she started working. "I'll wait for you here to change your dress," Tate said to her before she walked into the dressing room. Standing in front of the mirror as soon as she walked inside, she couldn't help the feeling of satisfaction that filled her heart. 'That was a great acting, Emily' As the director's words echoed in her head, the thought of everyone clapping for
Chapter 51 It was Saturday morning, and Aliyah woke up quite late and got ready for her morning shoot since she had one today. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror once she was done dressing, she took a deep breath as she rubbed her hand on her stomach, a small smile laced up her lips. "How are you doing, my darling baby?" She mutters and chuckles softly as she felt so excited. This baby has been her company since, and she couldn't help but look forward to having him of her in her arms soon, but sadly, they still have about seven months to go before she'll finally be able to see her child. 'Don't you think you should go see her? He just wants to speak to you' It has been three days since Tate told those words, and she has been thinking about it. Should she agree to see him or should she just keep to her words? She asked herself and sighed briefly as she pulled out the chair and sat on it, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Just when she was still thin
Chapter 52 "Ready?" The director asked once everything was ready for the shooting. Still on the shooting of the orange company project. They were going to shoot a scene where Emily came to the beach with her best friend, Lilian to have some fun, and they bumped into Connor there. "Scene two, Emily and Lilian. Camera rolling? Speed? Action!" The director finally gave the command, and the camera turned to Emily, who was laying on the beach chair while staring into space, her best friend, Lilian was also laying on the beach bench beside her. "I honestly don't like that punk, Lilian. What am I going to do?" Emily (Aliyah) asked angrily and scoffed. "I don't see anything wrong with that guy. To me, he is cool..." "Are you kidding me? This is why I don't like telling you things. What the fuck! I didn't say something is wrong with him. The thing is, I don't like him!" She huffed angrily, and Lilian rolled her eyes. "I can only say one thing. You must have st
