*****It had been a week since my public apology to Victor Adams. As part of the company’s effort to ‘clear the air,’ I was temporarily suspended from my duties. With nothing much to do, aside from scrolling mindlessly on social media and watching reels, I decided it was high time I paid my best friend a visit at her father’s company. Lexi had very free time for girls hangout and social activities, she was a typical busy woman. She was in every way the opposite of me. While I had recently been involved in scandal, Lexi was a paragon of success. She consistently secured major deals for her company, had received numerous awards at buisness conferences, and had maintained a spotless reputation over the years.Before the scandal, Lexi and I were inseperable, two best friend making waves in the business world. However, our paths had diverged since the betrayal by Leonard.One of Lexi’s unique qualities was her captivating presence. Her bright smile, perfect teeth and effortless charm mad

Her secretary knocked on the door briefly before entering.“Miss Alexandra, your father will like to see you now” she saidLexi smiled at me and rose from her seat” “I’ll be back in a jiffy” Michael’s POVI was growing impatient with the scene unfolding before me. The girl was hesitating to enter the elevator, was she afraid of me and my men?I tried to sound as friendly as possible, to put her at ease. “Aren’t you coming in?” She mumbled a few words and reluctantly stepped into the elevator. Her fear was palpable, which was not unusual, although most women I encountered would prefer I noticed them or give them attention, but this girl seemed desperate to avoid me. what’s with the whole face cap?I studied her briefly, taking in the way she stood rigidly, facing the door, her shoes tapping nervously on the floor. Her discomfort was almost… intriguing.As I continued to observe her I wondered why she would intentionally make herself uncomfortable, I couldn’t stop looking at her. Ther

Michael's POV I settled into my lounge, dressed in a white robe and stared directly at the serene mini beach beyond my window. The sounds of gentle waves crashing against the shore was perfect for my afternoon relaxation. I was passively sipping a cold juice as I tried to relax my mind.I had cancelled all my appointments and meetings for the day, they could wait. I needed to get my acts together, coupled with the fact that I was running out of time. I needed to clear my head.After a 30-minute respite, I retreated to my bathroom for a refreshing afternoon bath, after which I headed downstairs for lunch. I was going to wait for Alex to join me for lunch. He had called an hour ago. It's been an hour, 30 minutes already and no sign of him. I realized he was running late, annoyed, so I decided to dine alone. Hours passed, and Alex finally showed up armed with all kinds of excuses. I waved at him to indicate I was not ready to hear them, all I wanted to hear was the information he had

Michael's POV *****I woke up with a slight headache on the couch in my living room wondering how I ended up there. I yawned loudly and stood up to stretch, still wearing my outfit from the previous night.My gaze fell on Alex who was snoring peacefully at the far end of the couch, he must have overslept. I tried to recall the time we had left the bar the night before, but my memory was hazy.Shrugging it off, I focused on getting to work on time. Punctuality was my top priority.With my headache intensifying with each passing moment, I slowly made my way to where Alex was sleeping and shook him awake, he sprang up immediately as if he had only been resting his head.“Good morning sir” He said standing up to stretch. “I'll go get ready for work.” He said and proceeded to the door. I yawned again, trying to shake off the feelings of fatigue. How much had I drunk the night before?While getting dressed for work, I felt tired and exhausted at the same time, it was odd that I had a fuzz

Nora's POV ******I let out a slow agonized groan as I struggled to clean up my room. “This is harder than I thought” I muttered as I lazily tried to organize my closet. After 20 slow minutes, I gave up again, the strength just wasn't there. I laid on my bed with different thoughts taking turns in my head, I was a shadow of my past self.Not that I wanted to be sad, I just didn't know the best way to deal with the situation, the shame? The disappointment, mockery and of course the betrayal. I had tried to shut myself up from the world by deactivating all my social media accounts but I can't survive without Instagram, how on earth will I be able to keep tabs on my favorite celebrities? My thoughts drifted to Lexi, my best friend who hasn't contacted me in the past weeks. Last time we spoke, she was on about how busy her job keeps her and how much she needed to do for her father. But I'm no fool, she's avoiding me because of her family's reputation. The news must've gone round th
