MARK“Mark, do you have a minute?” Mr. Devon said as he walked into my office.I was about closing for the day, and I wondered what he could have wanted to talk about at this time. Plus, his presence was really upsetting.“Right now?” I asked, sounding a little bit harsh.A voice in my head reminded me of Brent’s words. He said that I would need to be calm around Mr. Devon and my secretary. He specifically asked me to be cordial so as not to arouse suspicions and ruin all that he has been trying to do.With that reminder, I sighed deeply and pushed down my rage.“Yes, if you don’t mind,” he said.“Alright then, take a seat,” I told him.As Mr. Devon sat down, I still couldn’t believe that there were things about him that I had no clue about, like how he had attacked Brent and even sent a threat note, and befriended the same Sydney Bowman and even bought a penthouse.I didn’t have a penthouse, and yet, Mr. Devon had purchased one, and it happened to be one of the finest in the city.“I

MARKAs soon as I arrived at my house, I made a quick call.“I need the address of Mona, my former receptionist,” I instructed.As soon as he got what I was asking about, I dropped my phone.“Dinner, Mr. Mark?” My chef asked me.“I am going to pass,” I told her and proceeded upstairs.“It’s not healthy to go to bed without having your dinner, sir,” she said worriedly.I stopped for a second, but it was only to respond to her.“I know you are trying to do the job that I pay you for, but trust me, I am not a child and you are not my babysitter,” I told her.She surrendered by nodding.“Yes, sir,” she responded. “Good night, then,” she said.I went upstairs, showered, and prepared for bed. Vector called me a couple of times, but I didn’t take any of his calls. He was trying so hard to convince me to change my mind, which was something that Mr. Silver had tried to do, and I didn’t want him to continue wasting his breath, or for him to disrupt my evening.I was determined to have a restfu

ALEXA“I can’t believe that my dad would do that to me!” I muttered to myself in annoyance as I got dressed for the day.How could he?!Reminiscing on what happened last night only infuriated me, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.I had gotten a call from him, only to hear the nurse that had been assigned to him say that my dad had collapsed.“I am on my way right now,” I had said frantically, and that was after getting over my shock. “Make sure the doctor starts working on him immediately!” I had added, leaping to my feet.“We are not taking him to the hospital, Miss…” she had been saying when I ended the call.The force with which I had gotten up was so much that I had overturned the fruit basket, sending all the grapes and berries flying around the floor.“I am so sorry,” I had apologized to Donald hastily.The moment I leaped to my feet, Donald also got up, worry etched on his face.“There is no need to apologize for that; they are just fruits,” he had said dismissively. “What

MARKI tried not to let the fact that Mr. Devon was that wealthy to bother me, but I just couldn’t.“What were the things he did for you?” I asked Mona.“He was always giving me lots of money, he took care of the rent of my apartment, and a lot of other expensive gifts,” Mona answered.Even though I was the CEO of the company and I was wealthy, I didn’t spend money recklessly like that. Even my dad didn’t do the same.It was one thing to be financially reckless, but it was another thing to have all that money to spend, and I could swear on my life that it couldn’t be through what he earned working in my company.There had to be something more.Mr. Devon’s wife lived a flamboyant life as well, and I knew this because when Ivy and I were together, twice, she had said something about her.“Why won’t you treat me just the way Mr. Devon treats his wife?” She had asked me, sulking like a child. “She enjoys luxury and expensive treat every week, and she travels out of the country for vacatio

ALEXA“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” Reyna greeted cheerily the moment I arrived at the company.“Good morning, Reyna,” I responded. “My dad isn’t here, is he?” I asked her.I didn’t see his car in the parking lot, and so I had to ask.“No, he isn’t,” Reyna answered, and I became instantly worried.Reyna noticed my countenance.“I was equally surprised, ma’am, because the only time Mr. Silver wasn’t here early was when he was sick and in the hospital,” Reyna added.“I am sure he is just running late,” I said, trying not to blow the situation out of proportion.I was also quick to recall the stunt he pulled last night, and maybe he was just still in his gaming mood. I was still upset about it, but right now, it was all about business, and more than ever before, I just wanted to prove my dad and Mark wrong.I wanted to watch them eat every single word that they had uttered or every action towards me that had demeaned me in one way or another.“Anyway, Matty Farm should be here any minute f
