Mr. Berkeley

Patrick's POVSebastian had been absent for days, leaving me with no one to confide in regarding Rose's mysterious death. I couldn't accept the police ruling it as a suicide; something definitely didn't add up.I sat in my office, wondering about what Rose had said to me before I found her dead. Was she actually telling the truth or did she make things up just to extort money from me?I was just confused on the next action to take as I wanted to really find out what happened five years ago but the death of Rose led me to a dead end. "Sir, the board of directors is waiting for you in the boardroom," Trisha announced as she entered my office.I sighed in frustration, wondering what the board wanted now. Their continuous attempts to undermine my position as CEO and seize my shares were getting absurd.When will they ever give up on their numerous plots?"What about Sebastian? Any word from him?" I asked, hoping for a message or some indication from Sebastian."No, Sir. After taking some

Unexpected pregnancy

Susan's POV At the hospital…"Susan, what are you doing here by this time of the day?" Georgina emerged from her office and saw me coming to her office. She looked baffled to see me at the hospital on a weekday which was unlike me.Concerned, she asked, " Are you fine? Is something wrong? How's Isabella? I hope she's doing well?"I reassured her, "Calm down, Georgina. Isabella and I are fine. I just came to see you and talk to you."She looked skeptical, saying, "There must be a crucial reason you came to see me at the hospital. What could that be? Because I am certain you just didn't come for a casual chat."Feeling the weight of my concern, I sighed and said, "Can we go to your office?""Pardon me; I got too worried. Come, let's go," she responded, leading me to her office.As we sat down, she asked, "Now, can you tell me what's wrong? You are really getting me worried. I thought we were supposed to meet by the weekend.""Georgina, I am scared," I finally confessed."Scared? Scare

Alex's reappearance

Patrick's POV To say I was shocked to see Alex on a zoom call was an understatement. But there she was, seated on a chair, staring at me with her familiar nonchalant gaze.Anger consumed me as I yelled, "You! You hurt Suzy and ran off, didn't you? I saw the CCTV. You knew Suzy was coming to my office, right? Is that why you did what you did?"She cleared her throat and said formally, "Mr. Gale, I don't owe you an explanation. I joined this zoom meeting to clarify that I willingly gave my shares to Mr. Berkeley.""You owe me no explanation? Suzy's life was at risk because of you! I swear, I will find you and when I do, you will definitely pay for what you did.""Mr. Gale, we all are present today when you just uttered these words. Does that mean you are threatening Miss. Johnson?" That buffoon, Mr. Berkeley interrupted.I glared at him, and Mr. Stephen whispered, "Watch what you say, Patrick," tapping my shoulder.I didn't care because I was determined to hold Alex accountable for her

Letting the cat out of the bag

George’s POV“Darling, there is something I need to discuss with you,” Susan said, sitting close to me as I was texting Julius on the phone.I didn’t hesitate to quickly close our chat in case she decided to peer over my phone. I dropped my phone and turned towards her, “What is it, honey?”She began to fumble with her dress and avoided eye contact with me. Within the few years I have stayed married to Susan, I figured that she must have thought about whatever she wanted to tell me, but wasn’t sure how I was going to react to it.Encouraging her, I asked, “You know you can talk to me, dear. What troubles you?”She took a deep breath and then asked me, “Darling, I want you to really tell me the truth, how do you really feel about having another child?”What was this whole new issue about having another child? This is the second time Susan had brought up this topic and I could tell that she had already begun to consider it.“My love, having a child isn’t bad, but why are we still talkin

Relationship tips

Patrick's POV"I can't believe all this happened, and you didn't care to inform me all this while?"Sebastian and I sat in my office as I listened to him narrate all that had happened with his brother and mother."It's hard to believe that someone as cheerful as you went through such an ordeal with your own mother," I said in disbelief."Patrick, it honestly hasn't been easy. Louisa has proven to be nothing but an opportunist over and over again. When I first heard what she did to Mason, I couldn't help but remember the pains I went through in her hands. How could a mother do this to her own child?""How's Mason now? Is he adjusting to the city?" I inquired."He's doing well. Alice has been a great help, coming most weekends to cook and spend time with us.""Considering how wonderful Alice has been, have you thought about keeping her by your side?""Keeping her by my side? I don't understand.""Why not marry her?" I suggested."Marriage isn't as simple as it seems, Patrick. I know Ali

A man like George

Susan's POV"And that's how he specially made me dinner because I told him I missed his homemade meals.""Wow, Susan, you have got George wrapped around your finger with this pregnancy. He's really stepping up as a great husband and father."I smiled as Georgina praised George after I shared about him taking extra care of me. George had been incredibly sweet since I told him I was pregnant.Initially, I thought he might harbor some resentment after I gave him no choice but to accept the pregnancy, but he surprised me and treated me very well."Guess what? The other day, he caught me mopping the floor. He nearly lost it and scolded me for wanting to harm his baby."Georgina burst out laughing and said, "He doesn't realize that a pregnant woman can do much more than just mopping the floor. Hasn't he seen pregnant women at the gym?""George would flip if I ever suggested going to the gym in my condition.""Or he might just lock you up in the house, and you will be his Rapunzel trapped in

Black Knight

Patrick's POV"Care to explain to me what exactly is going on?" I asked angrily, tossing some documents at Mr. Stephen's table immediately I stepped into his office."Good day to you too, Patrick," he said, briefly looking at the documents. His face remained unfazed even after going through the documents."I know you are currently upset, but we cannot speak here. Come with me," Mr. Stephen said, picking up his jacket and leaving his office.What exactly was he up to? And why couldn't we talk at his office?I was still angry with him, but decided to follow him. We went to the parking lot and headed towards his car."What's going on? And why couldn't we just discuss at your office?" I inquired."I will explain everything to you soon enough, just be patient." That was all he said before he told me to get in and took us to a restaurant.The restaurant was located just a few blocks away from the company. Although not extravagant, the restaurant looked appealing. Mr. Stephen, upon being re

Susan's pain

Susan's POV"Mommy, Mommy, where are you!"Where was that voice coming from?"Mommy!"It sounded just like my baby's voice... Isabella's voice!"Sweetie, I am right here, where are you?" I yelled.I looked around, trying to pinpoint where the voice was coming from. Where was I?Everything was pitch black, and I couldn't even see myself, but I felt submerged in water. What was I doing here? And where was my daughter?Everywhere had this eerie silence, and after Isabella's voice faded, the only sound I heard was my own breathing."Where am I?" I wondered again.Soon, Isabella's voice echoed loudly as she yelled, "Mommy!"My motherly instincts kicked in, and I knew I needed to find my daughter! Where was George, and why wasn't he with Isabella?As I tried to swim and reach a shore, something pulled me down. The more I struggled, the heavier I felt.I heard the sound of someone walking briskly towards me. The loud tapping footsteps were approaching, so I yelled, "Who's there? Please help

Dangerous task

Patrick's POV I was done with my preparations, it was finally time to travel down to Alex's city and confront her. Mr. Stephen was still apprehensive and showed his concerns but I assured him I would handle the situation well.I had also requested for his men watching Alex and he obliged. I tried to reach out to Susan on several occasions but her number just wasn't reachable.The last attempt I tried, George was the one who picked the call and warned me never to call or disturb his wife ever again.What was wrong with them? I only wanted to see Isabella before I left. I didn't want to stir up trouble, so I decided to wait till I got back from my trip before I request to see my daughter again."I sincerely hope you know what you are doing?" Sebastian asked as he watched me going through the documents he brought to my office."Why does everyone behave as if I would mess things up? Can't you all have a little faith in my capabilities?" I questioned, tired of the incessant questions and

Scapegoat

"You have done a great job; I'm pleased," Mistress said, satisfied.It was late at night, I was at Mistress's private estate after making sure Susan was asleep in the hospital. My biggest relief was knowing Mistress was satisfied with my work."Stand up and come sit beside me," Mistress instructed. I rose and sat close to her."What reward do you want for your hard work?" she asked cheerfully.Pausing, unsure of her reaction, I voiced my request."I have one request, Mistress. Please stay away from Susan, my wife. I will do whatever you want, but keep her out of it."Her smile froze, but after a moment, she chuckled."If you had made this request before carrying out the assignment, I might have believed you preferred your petite, ignorant wife to me. But your recent actions have proven otherwise.”I waited patiently, hoping she would promise to fulfill my request. Finally, she agreed, saying, "Alright, since this is the only request you have asked of me, I will grant it. However, you
