She watched his muscles flex as he moved about preparing the meals for brunch. He flipped the bacon in the pan and started preparing to bake cookies. He would refer to his phone for the recipe once in a while and she didn't find it odd. He was supposed to take care of her meals but clearly didn't even know the simplest recipes. Yet for some reason, she didn't have the slightest urge to reprimand or fire him. She could get used to this kind of view. It was amazing that while he didn't know how to cook, he was doing his best to learn just so he would cook for her. It was a job that helped him pay the bills but his effort still made her smile. That woman he loved must have been blinded by the douche if she still couldn't tell what an amazing man Livian was. Well, her loss. If she had any idea that she was the very woman she had just cursed and scolded for being a fool, she might want to eat her words. "I'll help you with that." She walked over and to

She smiled and sent the pictures that they had selected back to Asher. She then looked up at him. "Do you want to keep the rest for your personal use? You can use them as your phone or laptop wallpaper as long as you don't post them on social media." "I'll take one." He chose one that had a clearer shot of his side profile from the lot that they had not selected for the ads. She sent it to him. The meeting was about to start so he left to deal with his own company matters. By the time he was done, it was already evening and he was yet to see a sign of her leaving her room. She was probably busy so he made her dinner and took it to her room. "Come in." She said when she heard a knock and looked up to see him carry a tray in. He uncovered the lid. "I brought your dinner. Figured you'd be too busy to come downstairs but you shouldn't miss your meals." His thoughtfulness melted her heart. "Thank you. Though you should know that you don't have to conti

The following morning, Gemma was about to eat the French toast that Livian had brought for her breakfast when Cora delivered an awful piece of news. The detective had asked for her to call him back. Again. She almost groaned in frustration. The last time he had her return his call, he had called her over and asked a series of questions she didn't know had anything to do with the case. Despite her displeasure, she knew that he would make a living hell out of her life so she had no choice but to give him a call. Just as she guessed, he called her over to the police station to assist with investigation as he termed it, but she knew he must have just found more excuses to try and pin the crime on her. They sat opposite each other at the table. He stared at her as though he was trying to make sense of something but didn't look like he was about to say anything. "Did you call me over just so you could look at me? You do know that there are photographs for

Although she had decided not to investigate the mysterious shareholder since he so badly wanted to remain a mystery, it still bugged her. What if he really was after her life or something and he was baiting her? But then again, if it was a bait, he would want to deliver it in person so she knew who she was dealing with, right? She couldn't seem to come up with a reasonable explanation even after several hours so she sighed in exhaustion. The reason was not certain but she knew for a fact that there was no such thing as free lunch. ___"How did it go?" Livian asked Darrell when they met up at the company. It had been two days since he had him send the share transfer document to Gemma. Ever since then, she constantly had reasons why she could speak to him and he knew they were not excuses. When he took a  look at her this morning as she spoke to Cora, he noticed the dark shadows under her eyes even though it was just a glimpse from a safe distance. 

Why under the sun would Noah turn himself in? The news was an unexpected shock. She paced her room as Cora watched her from her bed. "Why is it a shock?" Cora asked. "If he did it, then it's only right that he turns himself in. Besides, doesn't this relieve you of the pressure of that stinky detective hovering around you and trying to uncover nonexistent evidence of you committing a crime you have nothing to do with?" "Cora, he…" She stopped what she was going to say, frustration clear on her face. "What is wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy?" Cora couldn't make sense of this kind of reaction. While it was shocking, Gemma would be on the benefitting side no matter how one thought about it. "This is Noah we are talking about Cora. Why would he do that without a reason? There has to be something that forced him to do so, something less tragic than him having to rot in prison for murder." Her worries were unfounded. Cora
