~Isabelle~“Who could have sent the other bouquet of flowers?” I asked Sasha.I was more concerned about delivery that I had no clue about than the first one that even arrived. As for Victor’s roses, I instantly trashed them away.“I still think you shouldn’t have trashed the flowers,” Sasha said, referring to Victor’s roses.“Please, don’t tell me that I am supposed to accept it with a smile, or even probably a freaking blush to my cheeks,” I said, rolling my eyes.“I wouldn’t want you to do that either,” Sasha said.“So what would you have me do instead?” I asked, confused.“Trashing the flowers is just going to mean that you accepted it to Victor,” Sasha said.“I don’t care what he thinks anymore, Sasha,” I said without thinking deeply about what she just said.“But you should not also give him the notion that you accepted it. From the short note, he is trying to drag you down memory lane, and he is just going to think that his charms are working,” Sasha analyzed the situation.“So

~Victor~“You sent her flowers?!” All the Walters’ women yelled out in shock while Sara was simply saddened.I had never felt so humiliated in my entire existence, and before Mona could go ahead and read the note that I had attached to the flowers and make things worse, I snatched the flowers from her hands.“We are here trying to fix a date for your engagement party with Sara and you are sending that good for nothing Isabelle flowers?” Laura asked angrily.I was too embarrassed to even say another word, and then again, I was also mad at Isabelle for acting this way. After we had left the courtroom, I had just wanted to do something that seemed nice and would remind her of how we had begun. If she hadn’t wanted it, the least she could have done was trash it instead of sending it back to me.“A thief and a poor woman is whom Victor is acting all mushy for,” Mona said with disgust.“Hey, watch your mouth,” I turned to Mona and warned.I was also angry with her as well, because if she ha

~Victor~It was a new day and a new week, and I decided to push Isabelle away from my mind because I had to work.There was a big business deal that my company had been chasing for quite a while now, and finally, they had reached out for a contract. It was like a victory, because I knew how hard myself and my senior team members had worked tirelessly to be able to achieve this. My mother was right; being with Isabelle, in as much as it broke me to admit it, had limited my company in a lot of ways. Getting deals had been the most difficult thing to do. In fact, over the years, most of my most hardworking and trusted staff members had left my company to secure at job with my adversaries. It had been a real struggle, which was why when the option of getting into a relationship with Sara had popped up, I had taken it without a second thought.I needed to save my company; we had been sinking for way too long.“Are we all ready to go and sign the deal that is going to change the face of th

~Isabelle~Instead of me to have stood on my ground and corrected Laura’s impression about me and her attitude towards me, I had sat right in front of her like a drenched pussycat and allowed her to speak to me in a hateful manner, and that was exactly how I acted some hours ago.Four years ago, and I still could not stand up to her!“You shouldn’t have given her the impression that you are still that weak and simple girl she used to know!” I berated myself.“Isabelle, are you okay?” Sasha asked as she dumped her handbag on the couch and stared at me with concern in her eyes.I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn’t even know that she had entered the apartment.“Jeez, Sasha, you are back,” I said with relief.“Yeah, if you were looking at the time you would have realized that it is my closing time,” Sasha said. “I am sorry,” I said, even though I didn’t know why exactly I was apologizing.“Are you okay though? You look like you have seen a ghost and your face is ashen,” Sasha

~Victor~“I will do whatever you want,” I said and meant it, even though my heart still skipped fearfully as I said those words to Sara, knowing that she could very well demand something that I might not want to give.“Of course, I know you would,” Sara said with pride and a wide smile on her face.“What do you want me to do to make you happy?” I asked, eager to get this over and done with so that I could get approval from her father, and eventually get the contract that we had been denied of getting simply because I had made Sara unhappy.“First of all, these flowers have to go. They made me sick,” Sara said.“Oh, okay, sure,” I said immediately; that was an even easier task.I turned to find somewhere around the living room to trash them, but Sara stopped me.“There won’t be need for that,” Sara said as she signaled on one of the maids standing by.Their household had so many maids and domestic servants and bodyguards that I could barely make out all of them by looking at them.
