Nathan stopped mid-sentence as he held his head for a while. Jordan observed him and was about going to help out, but Nathan stopped him. The sharp ache that held him in that position had already left and he didn't want his staff worried about him. "Make sure all the goods are delivered and have a word with... With Marcus" he stopped and held his head once more.. "tell him... tell him that... I" he stopped as the pain in his head was already excruciating. "Whichever way it is make sure..." He broke off. This time he didn't hold his head in pain. He fell to the floor and hit himself hard against it before Jordan could even get to where he was. When Jordan rushed to his side and was sure he was unconscious. He brought the phone to his ear and let it ring for a while. He kept stealing glances at Nathan to make sure, he was indeed not moving. The phone was answered. "Jordan," the voice said. "Job done," he smirked and immediately ended his call. He made sure he deleted the call log an

*****Lucas was scribbling something on a paper in his office when the door opened. At first, he thought it was his secretary; Alice, but it wasn't.When he looked up, he immediately became alarmed. It was the devil himself; Martin."What do you want?" Lucas watched him take a seat on the chair opposite him. "How did you get in here?""I had a quarrel with your brother, not you, right? I don't understand the look on your face""Are you going to tell me what you want, or do you want me to call the security?""No need for that" Martin waved it off. "I am not indulging in any violence, am I""What do you want?" Lucas was already getting impatient."Woah easy".he paused. "I came to give you an offer""I'm not interested""You haven't even heard what I have to say""Taking an offer from you is like taking an offer from the devil""I will take that as a compliment. That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me""Leave this minute," Lucas glared hard at him, but Martin only chuckled. I

Amelia woke up. She had cried herself to sleep the previous night. Her head banged and her mouth felt parch. She slipped off the bed to go and check on Xavier. Losing someone he once loved must be hard for him.When she got to Xavier's room, she knocked, but there was no response. She opened the door to confirm, but he wasn't there. Amelia couldn't understand why she made it a priority to check on him, especially after what he did to her. No one had ever hurt her the way he did yesterday, but she didn't care."Xavier?" She called out as she went downstairs. She found him already dressed, walking towards the door. It was too early for him to leave. Since he was the boss of his work, she didn't see any need for him to leave so early. "You are leaving so early?""Yeah. I have some things to do at the office" while he said those words, he didn't for once lock eyes with her. He didn't look nervous, he just didn't see the need to look at her, which hurt Amelia."You are not going to eat fi

Amelia felt exhilarated beyond words. The words "I love kept ringing in her head and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep her cool. She danced around the sitting room, muching on the cereal in her mouth. Cereal had never tasted so good before.Her phone which rang cut her happiness short. Sighing in frustration, she ran to the table where she had kept it. The moment she saw it was the unknown number she was reluctant. She watched it until it stopped ringing. Then it started ringing again.Amelia has no other choice than to answer the call "Who is this?" she was pissed because the caller distracted her from her happy thoughts."Amelia," The caller said and she immediately recognized the voice.After looking at the screen and placing the phone back on her ear, she spoke. "Shaun? How did you get this number?""You dropped your card. Probably it fell from your bag. I thought you left it intentionally""No, I didn't. I uh" she pinched the bridge of his nose. "Shaun, what we had

Amelia hadn't said a word as they ate breakfast and that was so unlike her. She wasn't the type to remain quiet, especially during breakfast. Amelia in her nature wouldn't let him hear the end of it about how her day went."Why are you staring at me?" she asked, dropping her spoon on her plate."You are not talking""You want me to talk while eating?""Not really," he shrugged. "It's just unlike you to care about manners""Well," she hit her fork on her plate continuously. "I just feel bored lately. I'm tired of going to only Wendy's place""You don't have any other friends?""Peter," she said and watched the way his face changed. It was obvious he didn't have any form of likeness for Peter. Probably because she kissed him or it was something else entirely."I don't have any other friends""How did you meet both of them?""At the orphanage" There was silence for a while before Xavier finally spoke. "Tell me about yourself"Amelia was taken aback by that statement. This was the first t
