Aspen followed Floyd out of the company after telling Mrs. Liza where they were heading to. Mrs. Liza had just smiled when she saw them and told them that everything will be fine even though Aspen had tried to make her do by herself to the business party. It just came sudden but as the time that they spent in the car went on, she realized that Floyd was actually helping. They soon got to the boutique and instead of her going through the racks it was Floyd who took it upon himself to choose the dress she would wear. She just followed him. He picked some gowns and passed it to her do try. Even when she tried to keep her heart from thinking that he was doing because he still loved her, she could not help the heart skip that happened when she came out of the dressing and the way he had stared at her like she was still his wife. He seemed to realize what he was doing so he shook his head and gave a tight nod."It is nice. Not flashy but elegant." He said and they proceeded to getting her s

He pulled her to her feet. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. He smiled faintly. The man speaking long forgotten."I came to represent the company I work for." He said and her eyes flicked to Benny who stood there with his eyes zeroed in on Ace."Hmm, this is Ace. The neighbor I told you about." She said and Benny watched Ace stare back at him. Benny felt like there was something about this Ace. Like he was not who he painted himself to be to his sister. Ace extended his hand with a tight smile and Benny watched it for a second before taking it."Ace Spencer.""Benedict Gerald." They introduced themselves and shook their hands, their eyes not leaving each other."You are a fashion designer. I have heard of you. Your works are top rated even though you keep yourself exclusive to some wealthy people. A pity I won't get to wear your designs." Ace said with a shake of his head while Aspen just chuckled slightly."Since you are here, how about you carry on?" Aspen said and they so

Benny stepped into the toilet, his eyes not leaving Floyd for a second.Aspen moved towards him to hold him back.Benny stopped his sister with a smile and faced Floyd."So you are the mother fucker who hurt and cheated on my sister. And now you blackmailed her to be your secretary?" He asked, slowly. Aspen winced as she tried to hold him back."Benny, you are getting this all wrong." She said and he pushed her behind him."Sister? Huh? You are her brother who she was quite worried about at that time? Nice meeting you." Floyd said, extending his hand out to him. Benny eyed him hard."Do you think I am joking?" Benny questioned him and Floyd raised his brows at the tone he used."Relax, Benedict Gerald. I would rather you don't say anything much for now." Floyd said with a knowing smile on his lips, his eyes slowly directing to Aspen. Benny studied him in the eye before turning to his sister. "You can leave, sister. I would love to speak to your ex-husband, " He said, his voice biting

PART TWO: THE BEGINNING OF THE END.INTRO. Previously On Part One.He caught one by the sleeve as he landed a punch on his cheekbone."Who sent you?" He asked him. Their eyes darted across to each other and they refused to answer him. Just as he was about to raise his hand to punch another one, something heavy landed on his head and he fell down instantly, gripping the place tight. The blurry vision of a man standing with a smirk on his face and handling what seemed like money to the guys he had run after was all he saw before he succumbed to the darkness.***"How could you be so careless to let Nicole Lockhart dress tear like that?" The older woman snapped at him and his eyes hardened in anger. He knew this was going to happen. He just did not know that it was as soon as they arrived from the party. He also knew that they would notice the trick he pulled. That was how they were. Always judging and watching his every move. Making him to be their son, not his parents. The muscle in hi

The door bell rang twice before Nicole rose to her feet to answer it. Just as she opened it, she came face to face with a delivery man who craned his neck to look into the house. "Is this Miss Nicole's house?" He asked. Nicole's brows rose up as she gave him a skeptical gaze."Yes?""Oh, good. This package is for you. The sender deemed himself anonymous." He said and handed the package to her which she reluctantly collected from him."I will need you to sign these papers." He handed the file and a pen to her and she did as told. With one last smile, the delivery man got on his bike and was gone.Checking out the package in a wrapped paper, Nicole stepped back into the house and sat down back on the chair, her eyes still looking at the package.What could anyone want to give her?
