You win.

KRISHe pushes open the door gently, and walks in.My eyes fall on his finger immediately. He's wearing his wedding ring.“Good morning,” he says,As soon as he notices where my attention is at, he places his hand into the pocket of his joggers.“Good morning,” I respond, facing the papers immediately.My heart is steadily drumming against my chest, and I don't even think I can bear seeing his face for one more minute.“How are you?” He asks,This time he isn't the proud, arrogant boss I've grown to know. He is soft, and careful, trying not to cross the line.“I'm fine. How was your wedding night?” He doesn't respond.I look up to find him watching me. “How was it?” I push further,“Let's not talk about that,” he says, taking a seat.He has returned to his original self.“Yes, you're right.” I agree, closing the file. “Let's talk about the pile of work we have left,”“No, not that.”“Okay. Then let's talk about why after I cleared your schedule for two weeks straight, you went ahead

of course

KRISI pick out my hand bag, and by the time I get to the Sergei is already waiting for me with flowers in hand.“What are the flowers for?” I ask, stunned.“I'm sure your father wouldn't want you with a man that doesn't get you flowers for every date.” He says, giving them to me.There's no ounce of romance in what he has done, but it's still nice. I haven't received flowers as a random gesture in months, and while it is a change, but I don't let him know.“Thank you,” I thank him, “I love roses.”“Let's get going, shall we?” I nod.He opens the door, and leads me out of the apartment.As soon as we get into the car, I drop the bouquet on the car seat, creating a spacing between us. He respects it, and the drive is silent.We finally arrive at the restaurant just ten minutes after nine.Sergei, and I are about to step down when he receives a call.“Give me a minute,” he whispers,I remain seated, clacking my fingers on my bag. It is one thing for my father to meet Sergei, but it's

A suspicion.

KRISHe has no right to be angry. Truly, he doesn't. He's sitting across the table with his hands over my sister, and they're both wearing their wedding rings. He's taken. He's not mine, and I will never be his. I have no reason to feel bad for wanting my own person.“Good evening,” Sergei says to my father, and the sound of his voice pulls me from my thoughts.I can see the surprise on my father's face, but it's absolutely impossible to tell if he's surprised I have someone or if it's the Russian accent rolling off Sergei's tongue.Nevertheless, my father grabs his hand, and they hold a tight handshake.“Good evening. Who are you?” He asks,“Pardon my late entry, I am Sergei Rachmaninoff, and I have a current interest in your daughter.” He says with a smile,“Lori?” He asks with a raised brow.I close my eyes, absorbing the embarrassment.Sergei simply laughs it off, “Of course not. She's married to a wonderful man.” He takes my hand, then turns to me, “darling, you've never told y

A new vice

KRISIt's quite embarrassing actually. The way, I'm prepping my best suit just because my brother-in-law will be at the board's meeting. It's nothing special, I know.I have been invited to a number of impromptu board meetings, and from experience, I can say, it's either someone is leaving, or someone is about to be added to fill an empty space on board, or both.I shrug my shoulders. It doesn't involve me. I pick out my navy blue suit jacket, and throw it over my shoulders.In compliance, I equally pick out my black set of Versace shoes.As soon as I'm done dressing up, I pick up my bag, and head to the Uber already waiting for me.It takes less than twenty minutes to maneuver through traffic, and end up at my office.As I walk in, I notice how quiet the environment is. You can easily tell when Callum's presence abodes, it breeds silence.I walk up to my office, drop my bag, and pick up my notebook.Right before walking out, I remain fixed in one position as I inhale a fresh breath

Who to choose

KRIS My heart swells at the sound of applause. Their hands clap and they smile gently. I stare at everyone, unable to believe it. Me. Corporate development manager. Who in the world would have thought it possible?I turn to Callum, and I can already feel the tears at the bottom of my eyes.“Thank you,” I whisper,“You deserve it,” he responds without a twitch of his jaw.I walk to the table, and for the first time, I take a seat.It feels surreal sitting at a table I never thought I'd be qualified for.“Now that we're done with that, I would also like to announce that Ms Kristina will be in charge of the strategies to combat our new opposition. I'd like to believe that no one knows a woman better than her fellow woman, hence the addition to this board.” He explains, then turns to me, “you won't disappoint me, will you?” He asksI shake my head immediately, “not at all. I'll step on it as soon as I can.”He nods in approval.I push the thoughts out of my head as he begins to speak.

dome gala

KRISIt is half an hour to nine pm when I apply the last touch of lipstick on my lips. Through my window, I can see a black SUV parked at the other side of the road. I walk closer towards the curtains. The particular car has been in that spot for over five hours. From its spot, there's a clear angle into my apartment.It doesn't take a genius to note that whoever is in that car is stalking me. The question is who he works for.Callum, or Sergei?A hunch tells me it's Sergei.I close the curtains, and walk back to my dresser. As soon as I pick up my black Chanel bag, my phone rings.It's Lori. I pick up immediately.“Hey, babes.” “Hi, love” she responds almost instantly, “Are you with Callum?” “Um, no. I wasn't really at work today. What's up?”“Nothing much. I wanted to confirm if he's available to attend the gala with me tonight.”“What gala?”“The dome charity gala. It's tonight by nine.”Oh… Could that be what Sergei had planned for us?“Kris?” Lori's voice pulls me from my tr

a dance

KRIS“You should really go over there,” Lori speaks from behind me,Despite the smile tugging at both ends of my lips, I agree.Sergei's face is reddened, and the chick seems not to have gotten the memo that she is not wanted as she presses herself towards him.With a gentle sigh, I walk towards them.“Hey,” I say, forcing a gentle smile.She pauses, then straightens her spine. “Hi,” Our eyes narrow on each other. It's a normal showbiz attitude for women to fight for the newest addition to eligible billionaires. They themselves are millionaires, but every girl needs an upgrade, and a larger wardrobe.With gritting teeth, I call out to Sergei, “babe, is there an issue?” I ask,His eyes slightly widen as he acknowledges my word. I watch as he immediately moves to my side.The chick's eyes darken.“Not a problem at all,” he kisses my forehead.I nod. “You should probably meet my sister again, she can't seem to stop talking about you.”He takes my hand in his, and we both walk towards L
