“You didn't tell me you have a sister, not even a sibling,” Karen stated as they walked away from the door.“I guess we didn't hang on long enough to find out.” Jack shrugged in response.“Yeah. Right.” She responded as he opened the door for her.“That is Alexa. Alexa Ellyn Antonio. My younger sister. She's 20, studying law at texas.” he explained. “Nice. I guess that explains why she isn't aware of, you know… ” Karen stated, gesturing with her hands to make a point and Jack was quick to grab it. She was referring to their entire relationship fiasco that had gone down. After He had realized his mistakes, he paid all the blogs and media houses that carried the news to take them down.“I'll see you soon. Take care.” He pulled her into a quick hug and released her a few seconds later. They were now standing in front of her car in the parking lot. She waved at him as she got into her car before driving off.~~~“Hello,” The deep gruff voice said into the phone. “What news do you have abo

“You've got a beautiful office.” Ciara complimented, having a feel of his table. It was made of refined wood with silver coating.“Thanks. Spent a little fortune on making this my little heaven.” he replied, leaning on the table. He pulled her closer by the waist and they stood few feet apart, staring at each other. “Wanna grab lunch with me?”She looked at her watch, checking the time before raising her head to reply to him. “This is few minutes past noon, I think I have a few minutes to spare.”“Alright then, my treat.” he took her hands in his as they walked out of the office. ___Karen's phone rang on the table as she paused her work and picked it up. She stared at the contact for a second and shrugged before picking it. The number was unsaved, and most times, it was often from prospective clients.“Good afternoon. This is Karen Smith. How may I help you.” she stated politely with a very professional tone as she picked the call. She placed the phone on her ears and waited for her

Jack and Ciara spent the next two days in Chicago in each other's company before they took a flight back to Los Angeles. After a successful business campaign, they had been given a two week break period and Jack was bent on enjoying every time he had to spend with Ciara.They walked hand in hand through the arrival area of the airport to where taxis parked, waiting for their next passenger. Ciara had convinced him against using a private taxi stating that sometimes, it was better to live life from another perspective. He frowned as she dragged him towards a taxi, opening the door as they both stepped in.After informing the taxi of their proposed destination, he took off, driving out of the airport. She leaned on the window of the car as she watched buildings go past them in a blur. She sniffled the hair, smiling in satisfaction as she recalled the office sex they had at Jack's office . After giving her her first orgasm of the night, he had placed her on the make-shift bed where they h

Jack's phone rang continuously as he tried to take it out of his bag. The ringing stopped as he pulled it out. “Multiple calls from the hospital. Strange” He muttered as he called back. The phone rang for a few seconds before the calm voice of the doctor cut in.“Good morning, Mr Antonio.” the doctor and from the tone of his voice, he could tell something was wrong. His heart raced as he thought back to his father. “Did something come up?”“Good morning doctor. Is everything okay?” He asked, trying to remain calm.“Your presence is required immediately at the hospital. Can you make it down here within an hour?” The doctor's voice was once again calm, making him even more anxious.“I will be there in twenty minutes.” he replied and dropped the call.“The doctor, I guess?” Harry asked, seeing the tensed look on his face.“Yes, and I don't have a good feeling about it.” he replied. He had made his sister go home the previous night. She had spent almost all the days of her break in the hos

He watched as the man said a few things to her and she offered a tight-lipped smile before walking away to her car and driving away. Now standing alone, he could easily see the man, and he looked oddly familiar. He tried to recall where they might have met, but his process was interrupted by his sister who slammed the door loudly as she got inside the car.“I've gotten everything I need. Let's go.” his sister spoke and he peeled his gaze away from the male figure before driving away. By morning, the news of the death of Jack's father was starting to spread. Jack had authorized the hospital to include his dad's name in the death register and had issued an official statement on his social media platforms. His phone rang continuously as different friends and business partners called to show their sympathy. He ignored all the calls and when they were getting too much, he switched off his phone.“Cancel all my meetings for this week, I won't be available.” he had informed his secretary tha
