Chapter 32 A few days later... "Aliyah... Aliyah... Guess what?" That was Tate as he rushed into the living room holding his phone with a surprised expression on his face. Ariel was sitting in the living room and rehearsing for her next class in school the next day, being Monday. "What's with the fuss, Tate? Did you win a lottery?" She rolled her eyes as she raised her gaze, but he was already sitting beside her. "Guess what, Aliyah?" He said excitedly one more time, and she scoffed. "I'm not good at guessing. What's that?" She asked as she rolled her eyes. "The auditions you went for. You were picked to act the leading role for the two," Tate squeaked excitedly, and she knotted her eyebrows together. For the next minute, she tried to comprehend what he just said since it came as a shock to her "What do you mean?" She asked as she stared at him blankly. It wasn't that she didn't hear him when he said that, but this was too good to be called a reality.

Chapter 34 "The days I gave you are almost over, Knox. Are you testing my patience?" Chairman Daniel snapped at Knox angrily, and he sighed briefly. This was why he had been avoiding this man for the last few days, but turned out that he could never avoid him forever. "Grandpa... Can you give me some more time, please? I promise to bring her back. Just give me some more time," Again, Knoxville pleaded with the man who was already losing his patience. "How long am I going to give you again? How long do you want me to give you before you bring her back? What the hell is going on?" Chairman snapped again, and he sighed deeply. "Three weeks, Grandpa... Give me another three weeks, and I promise to bring her back then. I will bring her back, I promise you," He replied to the old man. "Three weeks it is then. If by then you don't bring her to see me, consider yourself not my grandson again," Chairman uttered before he finally turned and walked out of his office, and

Chapter 36 "Why are you standing there? Is everything alright?" Tate asked once he was able to catch up with her, but she only smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm fine. We should go in," She replied to him before she walked ahead of him and headed to the entrance door. The lobby welcomed them as they walked inside, and they were directed to the elevator by one of the suit men. "The guard on the fourth floor will lead you to the CEO's office when you get there. You are welcome once again," The suit man said before he walked away. The elevator door opened, and her heart sank into her stomach when she found Knox in the elevator alone. Her heart froze for seconds as she stared at him. She tried to move her legs, but they were stuck to the spot and unable to move. She felt her heart beating fast this time, her blood pressure suddenly rising, and soon, her body started trembling slightly. What was the meaning of this reaction? She asked herself. As much as she wanted to be c

Chapter 38 "Are you ok?" Tate asked her as he drove back home later in the day. After the meeting at the MegaHitz company, Aliyah had been moody. The thought of working with Knoxville wasn't something that sat well with her. She wanted to hide the baby from him, but working with him for five months? That was as good as telling him about the baby, because there was no way he won't ever find out about it. There was no way he won't bother her later. "Yes, I'm fine," She replied to him casually even though it was written all over that she was not fine. "Do you want us to go to the restaurant and..." "No, just let's go home. I don't feel like it," She cuts him off, and he slowly nodded his head. The rest of the drive to her house was filled with silence, and they finally arrived after a long drive. "You should get as much rest as you can. Let's go to the hospital tomorrow morning to get you checked," He said to her before she took the staircase up to her room. She

Chapter 40 Knox couldn't help but admire how beautiful his ex-wife has become. Having her around felt like heaven, as he couldn't remember the last time he had felt this way. "Your office is over there. You should let me know if you need anything," He said to her, trying as much as he could to sound formal like her boss. "Thank you. Uhm... I would like to be put through things and how they are done here since it's my first time. Do I need a coach for that, or are you going to do it yourself, Sir?" She asked him, avoiding his gaze. Although she was nervous and maybe scared of looking him in the eyes, it was also one of the things she should do as an employee in the company. "Uhm... Sure... I will put you through them myself," He replied to her, and she nodded her head. "Come with me," He further said before he led her out of the office, and headed to her office. "The computer has been programmed to help you deal with some things, and here is a manual to fol
