Two years down the line. The business had significantly picked and become a household name for those intending to have their events. Peter had been of great help. Most of the things he handled. I had to just go to the venue and confirm. Sometimes I didn't even need to go at all. My office was well decorated and designed courtesy of Peter. His full name was Peter Dawn. I asked him many times if he was related to the prominent Dawn family in city D, but he said no. I had a hunch he was hiding something, but I could not tap into it. For the two years that we have worked together, we employed the best team ever. The efficiency of the work done by the team has always been superb. I planned to take my team out for dinner one of the weekends. At least to bod more and show them appreciation. Getting out of work one evening, my dad called me, as he does almost every evening. "Darling d

That scene was one I never would forget in my life. The look on her face. The disappointment. The guilt. I saw it all in her eyes.I called her, trying to explain, but it seemed I was making the whole thing worse.No amount of words could explain what I did. I had no excuse. She totally ignored me. I feared she would leave me. I felt guilty that I couldn't imagine life without her. The past six months have been amazing for me. My life changed, and I saw life from a different angle. I reason to live and work hard. I didn't want to depend on my family's fortune.I had begun working with my dad while building my own connections in the business world. I didn't want to have things that would drag her down. I know my family. They are wealth-driven.She walked to the kitchen, totally ignoring my presence. I tried to speak, but words could not come out of my words.She was such a lively and humble woman that you would not find in the hypocritical world we

I woke in the morning to find Peter had prepared breakfast and was gone. I was surprised but happy about the gesture. Peter has been the best over the two years that we worked together. He cared for me like his sister, but sometimes I find the gesture too suggestive.I didn't feel like going to work that day, but I had to. I got a big client in West City that needed our services on a big event. I read it as an engagement party in the next two weeks. I didn't want to go into too many details and would leave such things to Peter.Peter was good at that. I only needed to sit in my office and attend a part of the preparation, and that was it? Today I just felt like sleeping in. I felt like not working. I had no motivation to work hard. I could not sleep the previous night thinking about James.Peter called me around 10:00am. I had gone back inside to nap and ended up sleeping for the next three hours."Hello""Good morning, boss?" Peter gr

I booked a flight to go home when I received a call from my trusted aid. My mum and Loli had gone to the west city. I knew they found out about my movements in and out of the city right then and there. I didn’t want any of them to know my whereabouts or about Jane. Things were going really fast.My dad was in my neck to marry Loli. I didn’t care about their threats anymore.For God’s sake, I was going to live with the woman, not them. I swore not to marry someone just because someone said so. I called the cab driver I hired to keep an eye on Jane. He was not really a driver but a secret agent and a bodyguard. He was the best when it came to security.He informed me about my mother and Loli making their way to JS Events and knew things were not right. And they wereI got there in time to hear the woman I love to say she didn’t care a

The event was held at one of the largest hotels in the country. The guests were high officials in the government.“How is the preparation coming along?” I asked Peter as soon as we left the airport “Everything is ready, but they insisted that the president of JS Events be there to confirm it.”“What kind of people are these. I thought you had it under control. What do they want?”“I didn’t know who they are before, but they are influential people in city S.”“That unfortunate. I thought I would not return here for a long time.” I said out loud, and Peter curiously looked at me from the side. Of course, I was not going to tell him what had happened in the city beforeI went straight to my booked hotel room and dropped everything in there before going to the event venue. The engagement party would be on the ground floor of the same hotel I booked. Having made lots of money
