All Chapters of In My Godfather’s Bed : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Enzo:The Patterson project file lay in front of me. I didn’t have to be at work today but I couldn’t be at home either. I needed to get my mind off everything that had happened: The agreement, the slap. I dropped the pen that I was holding and it booted the table slightly. It was the same one I had used to sign the agreement. The look of contempt as I looked at it could have made anyone think that it had betrayed me. I sat there, hand on my chin, staring at the ‘P’ on the project in front of me as thoughts flew in and out of my head. My copy of the signed agreement was still in my car. I had the overwhelming urge to hurry there and get it, but I remained glued in my seat. There was no need to. I had read every word and clause almost fifty times before I finally brought myself to sign it. It was heartbreaking but if it was what she wanted, then I would do that. I would do anything to keep her safe and happy. I owed it to her and her father. I opened the Patterson project and bega

Enzo:I sent everyone home for the day. The letter couldn't wait, and if it was what I thought it was, then Tabitha was in bigger trouble than I realized. I clutched the letter tightly as I headed to my car, my heart racing even though I tried to keep a straight face. "Good evening, Mr....." "Hamilton Avenue. Now." My driver's perky smile faded, and he did a double-take at me in the mirror. "Hamilton?""You heard me," I replied, glaring at him in the driving mirror. He said nothing and started the car, a sigh escaping his lips. His reaction was expected. Hamilton Avenue was unsafe and unneighborly. It was dreaded, and everyone did whatever they could to avoid that area. Even the police had gotten tired of getting calls from that area, and an advisory for people to stay away from there was put out. I was about to break that warning. The ride was quiet. The tension in the car was thick, and every few minutes, my driver would look at me in the mirror, probably hoping that I was

Enzo:The silence yesterday was unbearable. Walking in and seeing Tabitha on the couch stirred something inside of me. She was safe, and all I wanted to do was hold her and tell her how sorry I was for everything. On the car ride home, I had been seeing the trending pictures of Natasha and me on social media. Honestly, it was all anyone could really talk about, and then, I saw Tabby’s picture. She had taken so much time and effort to do her makeup, but it was ruined because of me. I should have been more punctual. I could understand why she was so heartbroken. It was probably late, but I still wanted to talk to her; I still wanted to tell her that what happened at the launch between Natasha and me was just a facade. It was probably too late, because I had already signed the document, but I wanted to tell her nonetheless. She opened the door, her face scared. Her eyes occasionally left mine, and she fiddled with her feet. “May I come in?” I asked, my hands clenching slightly by my

Tabitha:I stormed into my office and nearly slammed the door in Nora's face as she came in. That bastard! I can't believe that he went that far! I sat down at my desk and, without thinking, I reached for my phone. As soon as I opened my social media, notifications came buzzing in like a swarm of flies. Everywhere I looked, everyone was using my picture as that meme. How much had Ryan really made off of this? What did he even get for making me become an internet trend, an internet laughing stock?“Tabitha, I think you should calm down,” Nora said gently, patting my shoulder. “It is just a meme. Give it a few days, and it'll all die down. It's not like things like this stay forever.”I already knew that things like this didn't stay forever. I was already hoping that the hype around Enzo and Natasha would simmer down things on my own end, but Ryan just had to go and stir things up again, making me the centre of attention, and all for what? We had broken up, and that was the end of it.

Tabitha:"I think that we should increase the amount slightly. It is already on record that the general public seems very intrigued by the RL350. 3. A significant increase in price will very much increase profits for us in the long run... ""The price is why we are selling out in the first place. People love it because they can afford it. We just need to find a new sales pitch. The buzz during the Launch is surely going to die down soon enough..."I hated going to meetings with the sales department. There was always so much being said. I could feel my fingers cramping from how fast I was typing. Any more of this and I was definitely going to have a carpal tunnel. Enzo listened quietly as the members debated. He barely said anything during meetings like this, but his presence was enough to make sure that things didn't get out of hand, and with the way things were going, it was a good thing that he was here. "We need to put the needs of the company first, Chloe. We need profits. Peop
