CHAPTER 41JAME'S POVI didn't know what happened at all panic rose within me as I picked up my suit and rushed out of my office without a second thought about what I was doing at all."Sir everything okay?" I didn't even see who asked me as I rushed towards the elevator looking at my watch."Cancel all my meetings for this afternoon. I have something very urgent and important to deal with." I called out as the elevator door opened and I stepped in.I drove out of the company's car park like a mad dog and I tapped my y fingers against the steering wheel as I drove off."Sir James, there's a traffic delay on this route you've decided to go back to the mansion." A voice said from the car speaker and I put in my earbuds immediately. I needed to get to Irene as fast as I could. I don't know if something bad happened to her but I don't know why I am acting like this."Tell the road security to clear the path for me immediately. I want to be in my mansion in less than five minutes." I ordere

CHAPTER 43JAMES POVTrying to love her was like getting your heart into a merry-go-round.I watched her as she swayed, walking away from where I was, it was obvious she was hiding something.A part of me wanted to believe it was just a part of her mind playing tricks on what looked to her conscience.Or what else could explain the fact that she couldn't just stand in here and defend herself?In annoyance at the entire situation, my eyes had narrowed slightly looking out of the window to the night.I couldn't help but imagine the fact that I had left in the middle of dinner to race down here.It showed a lot of things I wouldn't want to admit to myself, it showed vulnerability.In the state I was still fighting within myself to love her, it showed that at the end of it all, I could as well have a bit of feeling for her.That was what glaringly occurred— You see it must have looked like an accident everything that happened but still, at the same time there was one question at the back

CHAPTER 45IRENE POVIs love vanity?That was the exact question on my mind and there was no way I could answer it, as it was soiling it at the moment filling it with more questions I couldn't quite answer.I was trying all I could to show this aspect of myself to him but still, it was coming back to me as not being reciprocated.I couldn't quite understand why it was that way with men like him—Or rather, let me rephrase and say proud men like himself.I had met with them all my life and just when I was thinking I was done facing those men he popped in at that moment, and how he did this was quite confusing.One moment he was all loving, giving me the best sex I ever had and the next moment he was all acting as though he was a different man.In spiteDespiteing, and despite the voice of the woman that was still filling my mind I couldn't bring myself to despise him.Maybe it was for selfish reasons, but my heart still decided to grow twice its size despite how fast I could feel it grow

CHAPTER 47JAMES POVWarm air brushed my skin as the door opened, I was still trying to process every bit of everything that was happening as Irene stomped away, for a moment I stood fixed to the spot I had been unable to move or even say a word as her held a dark storm that was looking to fall and make a torrent if I as little as muttered a word.I stared at her attire—she wore the same clothes she had worn out as she was covered with alcohol.Was that because she had become…a drunkard?I could by no way forget the look she had on her face when she had spoken to me, her expression was equal parts fury, equal parts despair and I felt every bit of it.I opened my mouth, closed it, then waltzed to the bar and pulled out a stool while still running my hands through my hair.I could hear her throwing up and for a minute I thought about going up to check on her but stopped the thought right before it got out of my mind and instead I thought about doing something totally different.She w

CHAPTER 49JAMES POVA state of insanity… In a way that was what I felt at that moment.I was trying so hard to keep my mind straight and not say anything mean to hear as I was totally pissed for so many reasons I wouldn't get tired of counting.Who the hell did she think she was?The thought kept flickering through my mind threatening to burst out with a force of unwanted energy if I didn't find a way to stop it.She made me vulnerable, in a way it felt like I was messing up a whole historical principle I had always abided with.At this moment I was done doing that…I thought to myself.I would rip the thought of her out of my heart before she ruins me.I got the keys and walked to the door.The fresh breeze that hit me as I stepped out of the house felt different. The house was filled with a choky air that kept on wafting through every room. Tension between I and Irene was high and I wasn't even sure who was supposed to be mad at anymore.At a point I felt I was to blame for all of t
