For the upteempth time, Wesley Sterling shredded another set of papers. He groaned in frustration, staring at his chaotic desk. The open google docs page on his laptop screen glared back at him. For hours, he had written and backspaced till the screen remained blank. Thinking the natural feeling of a paper and pen would spark his creativity, he had abandoned the laptop. The ruined pieces of papers proved otherwise. He was Stuck! Frustrated, he jumped out of his chair and paced around the room. He was running out of time and everything was at stake– his career, reputation and more. He needed a manuscript at whatever cost. Without a second thought, he dashed for his phone. His hands shook with nervousness while the other end rang repeatedly until a voice boomed through. “Wesley Sterling, the writing genius.” the masculine voice said with a hearty laughter. Wesley cringed at the title he used to revel in. “Hey Jeff, how are you doing?”he spoke in the most cheerf

Emily's POV“Who’s got you all red like a tomato?” Ava asked from nowhere.. Startled, I jerked and immediately kept my phone face down.“No one.” I answered, a little too hurried. She chuckled. “Really?” Her eyebrows rose dramatically and lips held a mocking smirk. Giving in, I let out a sigh “Fine, it's Jace.” She smiled in triumph. “Jace…Our hero guy?” “Yup” “Do you like him?”she asked with a teasing smile. Before I could respond, she immediately added, “Of course you do. Look at you, you're all red. You should go out with him.Has he asked you out yet.” Trust Ava to say so many things at once! “No, I don't like him.” She gave me a glare “Alright, maybe a little.” Her face settled into satisfaction. “And yes, he's asked me out. Quite a number of times to be frank. I said no.” She spat out the drink she was sipping. “Say what?” When I didn't respond quickly enough, she added, “Why?” I wasn't sure of the answer myself. Shrugging, I said

Emily's POV“Emily Byrce, you're needed in Mr Hasting’s office. Now.” A cold shudder engulfed me, causing me to freeze with the telephone still on my ear, even as the other line went dead. My legs felt heavy as I tried to drag them from my desk. Numerous thoughts egged my mind. Was he going to fire me? What would he do? The questions replayed in my head till I found myself standing before his secretary. The young lady placed the telephone on her ear while silently tapping her polished desk. I could tell Alex had picked up when her body suddenly went tense. “Mr Hasting, Emily Byrce is here.” Her tone was calm and careful. The next second she put down the phone and returned her stare to me. “You can go in.” she murmured with a pitiful gaze. It sounded like an invitation to hell and for one minute, I considered running in the opposite direction. Yet my wobbly legs took me to the door of his office. With great hesitation, I made a tap that sounded as silent as a

EMILY’S POVI shot him a look. “You're injured. You need to go get that checked out.” He glanced at his hand. “It's nothing.” “What do you mean by nothing? There's blood everywhere.” When he didn't respond I said; “Fine! Keep ignoring me. I guess I'm just going to call Ava and let her know what's going on.” The words had barely left my lips when he immediately snatched my phone. He dumped it on his side. “Alex, give me back my phone.” He ignored me, quietly loosening his tie. “Will you at least go to the ER?” He sighed,“I've got a fucking first aid kit at home. Now, shut up or I'll throw you out and then your phone a mile from here.” the words flew out in an exhausted and angry tone. If he meant every single word of his threat, I didn't want to find out. The rest of the ride was uneventful. Apart from a few minutes of being on his phone, his eyes remained fixed ahead while I continued to stare at his bloodied hand. I hated the sight of blood yet I c

Emily was awakened by the continuous buzzing of her phone. She blindly grabbed the phone to kill the alarm but was quickly snapped out of her drowsy state when her eyes widened at the time. In a panicked frenzy, she jumped out of bed. It was 9 a.m. She couldn't believe it. How did she manage to sleep over three hours of buzzing alarms? And why the hell didn't Ava wake her? Her last thoughts seemed to spark the memories of the previous night and they immediately came flooding. Her cheeks burned bright pink. He kissed her. Her boss and best-friend's brother kissed her and she enjoyed every second of it. Every second of it until her phone buzzed with a text message, bringing the moment to an end. Alex had scurried off after a quick apology and she had spent the most of her night tossing and replaying the moment in her head. For more times than she could count, she had whispered “It was nothing. Alex is a man of principle and probably felt he had to fulfill t
