11. Vera Or Melinda?
"Good morning, Vera. I trust you had a good night's sleep last night, huh?" Mr. Powell greeted his housekeeper the next moment he showed himself into the kitchen."Yes, Mr. Powell. Thank you for asking," Vera commented with a smile on her face as she turned to hand him his glass of morning coffee. She noticed his pleasant mood and commented on it."You look excited this morning, Mr. Powell," Vera said as she stepped away from him and went on with her chores of getting breakfast ready. " Yes. You can say that again. Has my grandson or wife awakened already?" Mr. Powell asked her as he let his eyes take in the activity in the room. He stared at everyone who was busy running around the kitchen trying to attend to their needs. Apart from Vera, who had been with them since she was young, Liam's grandfather had hired four other extra helpers to assist her in the kitchen, especially now that she was way past fifty."Not yet, Mr. Powell." Vera paused as she grinned in excitement, suddenly rem

12. Pregnancy Or Not?
Liam donned his tie and stood in front of his mirror, checking to see if anything was wrong with his appearance. He caught a stray curl with his hands and straightened it back. Today, unlike any other day, he decided to go with his dark blue Armani suit and white pristine shirt. He had always been told how the blue suit does fantasy to his eyes and makes women swoon over him. Not that he wanted any woman to swoon over him. He wanted his wife. And he wanted her like he had never wanted any woman before. Picking up his briefcase, Liam strolled to the door and paused to glance around the room once again. He couldn’t believe his wife was now sharing his bedroom with him. He had never been able to sleep with a woman in the same room but he had last night. And it was such a surprise to him that he couldn’t help thinking about it even at the breakfast table. Turning away from the room, Liam walked to the door and opened it, stepping out into the foyer as he took the stairs down. He was surp

Maya sat rigidly in the car, watching Liam’s back disappear into the building with Noah scrambling behind him ”So much for being such a couple,” Maya mumbled to herself as she scoffed at them. A loyal dog and his masterShe didn’t know what to do. She was scared of going into the building; what would everyone think of her? She had been scared ever since Liam’s grandfather announced that she was going to the company with Liam that morning. She had thought she would spend the day working in the garden or reading books she had glimpsed in the library as she walked to the guest room that morning to shower.If only Liam wasn’t an egoistical, narcissistic bastard. He could have helped her into the office by himself, but instead, he let her handle it by herself.“Ma’am” Maya was jolted from her thoughts as she turned to stare at the driver, who was still holding the car door open with his head bowed. Maya smiled as she apologised to the man before stepping out of the car. She took a slow s

14. Family Confession
“ I can't believe you just did that” Belinda fumes as she glared at her husband who made no move to pacify her. Instead, he stood with his head bowed inside the elevator.“ You could have said something, anything to keep him from kicking us out of the company_____”“ Or you could have informed me before taking out such a huge sum of money from the company's account. Five million? What's in God's name did you even use the money for?” Mr. Clinton turned to snap at his wife who pulled her face up in a frown and adjusted her handbag.“ I meant to replace it sooner. I didn't know he would notice it” She replied just as the elevator's door dinged, ushering them into the reception.They both strode out with anger in their stride. Just before Mr. Clinton got into his car, he stood gazing at the company he had spent almost all his years building from scratch with his brother.

Liam smiled as soon as he saw his uncle and wife exiting the company“Good riddance,” He mustered to himself before turning back to his meeting.His eyes met Maya's; he winked at her and watched as she quickly averted her eyes from him, but not before he saw the longing in them. That made him so happy. “Now, Sancho.” Sancho stood up immediately when he heard his name. A frown settled on his sad face as he wondered why the boss was calling him.“From now on, all bills must pass my inspection before they are dispatched. Is that clear?” Yes, sir,” Sancho replied with a smile as he made to sit back down. He was so happy to see that the boss wasn't going to fire him. A minute there, he thought he was doomed.“You are suspended for a month. Mr. Bennett will handle your job until you return; is that okay with you, Bennett?” Liam asked Mr. Bennett. He was Maya's former boss.“Yes, sir,” Mr. Bennett replied with a frown on his face. He had a lot of work to catch up with, and now the boss was

17. In A Meeting With Clarissa
Liam sat in the car, looking out of the window, staring at the restaurant where he was supposed to meet Frank and Clarissa. Even though the car pulled over some thirty minutes ago. He dreaded seeing him. What news will he have for him now? Has he found a new lead? Things didn't add up. Liam couldn't believe it had been five years since the death of his parents. And every time a new lead comes up, it looks like they've just died.“Are you not going in?” Liam came out of his thoughts to look at Noah, who was seated across from him in the limousine.Liam ignored his words but rather asked him instead, “How's Maya? Has she left the office?”Noah snorted at him; he knew what Liam was doing, and he wasn't going to allow it. “You are stalling my question, and you know it,” He told him, already opening the door.Come, let's go in and have it done already.” He waved Liam over, who reluctantly got out of the car. He heaves a loud sigh. “That's right, let's get this done so I can go home to b

18. Liam Is Sick
Liam staggered to the elevator and pressed the key to the penthouse. He didn't want to risk being seen by anyone, especially not in this state.The door opened and he walked into it, he pressed it close and watched Noah running over. Liam stopped the elevator with his foot and called to him“ Go home, Noah. I don't need you here to babysit me” Noah looked at the boss, a feeling of sadness enveloping him. He hated to see the boss like this. He didn't know what to say, which was why he nodded and turned back towards the parking lot where his car was parked. He got into it and drove off, hoping the boss would be okay. Maybe being alone will finally help him to sort out his problems.Liam sighs as he lets go of the elevator door and rests his head on the wall, letting his bag drop to the floor with a loud thud.He held his head as he thought back to that night. He would give anything to change everything. To make everything right. If only he didn't make that phone call.“What do you mean

19. Another Clarissa Encounter
The sunlight pouring through the glass window caused Liam to shield his eyes with his hands as he turned to stretch his body.He opened his eyes slowly, and turned to take in his surroundings. He was disoriented for a few seconds before the memories of yesterday came flooding through his memory lane.He made to stand up, but froze as soon as he noticed the hairs. Mass and mass of thick hair overflowed his duvet. He freezes. He slowly rises and stares at the lady in shock.“Maya?” He frowned as he paced to and fro the room lost for words.“What is she doing here?” He wondered. No matter how hard he searched his mind, he couldn't remember seeing her yesterday.Just as he made to wake her up, the elevator dinged as Noah stepped into the floor, he opened the door and shouted his boss's name since he knew his boss would still be in bed.But he didn't envision his boss running to meet him, almost naked, with a brief on, as he put his hand on his mouth signalling him to shut up.Noah nodded

“And what's wrong with my favourite daughter-in-law, today?” Maya turned toward Mr. Powell with a smile on her face. She saw him descend the stairs from the other side of the room. She stood up and went toward him, wiping the frown from her face.“Why Grandpa, I'm your only daughter-in-law?” Maya told Liam's grandfather as he chuckled and put his arms around her shoulder, letting her guide him to the couch.“Of course, and you are my favourite”“So, what's wrong with you? You've been moody since she came back from the office ” Mr. Mason asked his daughter-in-law as he turned to watch her frown before taking her eyes off him.“It's nothing, grandfather,” Maya replied with a shrug.
