ELENA'S POVThe day was yet to start and It was already agonizing. It seemed like I should get used to this fast, for as long as I remained here. Looking around cautiously, I took the stairs back to the office. I climbed slowly as no one took this route except for the cleaners. It gave me enough time to process my thoughts clearly. I had barely gone far when my name was yelled harshly, breaking me out of my reverie. I was not in the least surprised to see Mr. Alvin behind me.His face was now a bit brighter, but the black lines across were still noticeable, at least to me who was guilty on every side.“What is the meaning of this, miss Elena? How did you go from this to this?”He demonstrated with his hands, putting them up and bringing it down afterwards. He had every right to be mad. I had failed them from the start.“I am sorry, Mr Alvin. Please help me extend my apologies to the rest of the board members. You all will be hugely compensated”I hated that I used his words, tryin

ELENA'S POVThere was no choice without consequence!My tightly shut eyes groggily opened at the sound of my non-stop ringing doorbell. The golden sunrays that proudly flowed through my slightly open windows pissed me off even more. Aggressively putting on my indoor footwear by the side of my bed, I hissed at the sky which was clearing up bit by bit.“Go to sleep you fucker”, I shut my windows hatefully as I slammed the door behind me, going into the living room to answer whoever that was.“How may I help….you?”, my tongue which had been hanging loosely on the roof of my teeth, ready to lash out at the person, suddenly got tied as Ria's face came into view.The sight made me hold back a loud laughter as I creaked the door widely for her to enter.The grocery- filled bags covered her entire face, with her struggling figure trying to hold them up in both her arms.“Give me a hand here first before you can laugh your ass off”She leaned backwards, the weight of the bags pressing onto h

LUCAS’ POVIt had been weeks since I settled into my newly acquired company. The original plan to teach Elena a lesson was the only thing keeping my focus here as I could have been like any other investor.Now that I had laid my clutches on her and this company, influencing all of its policies to my own desires, my sentiments between the both of us did not have any effect on my intentions regarding the company.It was not meant to be a wasted investment afterall, which is why I constantly made appointments with other renowned investors across the city, including other countries as well, to revive the company her beloved lover, had destroyed.It was hard for me. Not in torturing her, but to know exactly what I felt towards her. Was it anger? Complete hatred? No, it was not. If it were, I would have really fired all her employees without a care in the world.Up until now, I did not have an answer to why I did not let them go.Whatever mixture of emotions I felt, it did not change one th

ELENA'S POVMuch to my disappointment, the day had come, and there was nothing I could do about it. It made me wonder for the hundredth time today, what worse could happen if I actually stood on my ground.Fortunately, Lucas had granted me the day off, to go prepare for the event that evening. It was a relief knowing that I would not be seeing his face for more than half of the day. Looking at the line of shops around me, I suddenly missed being at work. At least the faces there were consistent and familiar. Urrgh! Everyone knows the hardest task for a girl is shopping. Pushing the door to my first random choice of shop, I casually glanced at the dresses I could set my eyes on. Gosh! They look expensive. Taking in a deep breath, I kept walking down the aisle of clothes, taking in all the details I could barely spot. To think I did not even know what I wanted. Lucas made it more difficult with the details he had sent.Picking up the first dress that caught my interest, my eyes insta

LUCAS' POVThe hall was full of loud mutterings, which I could clearly hear. It was extremely hard restraining myself from not marching off to give Ray a punch on that hypocritical face of his. From where I stood, I was just as shocked as Elena, when I spotted Ray with her. Her reactions were clearly expected, even if he had returned a few years later. But there was something more to her expression that left me with an uneasy feeling. I knew he saw it too, and it only increased my hatred towards him. There was hurt, written all over her. The way her body trembled. I was certain that even the onlookers saw how desperate she tried to hold her sobs in. “Mr. Lucas, isn't that your plus one?”, One of the men pointed out as Elena's figure stormed out of the hall.“It seems she has a desperate admirer”, another teased, raising his eyebrows playfully.“It could be her lover. They suddenly remind me of my wife and I when we were still in love”, “Does that mean you are both no longer in lo
