“What do you know?”. I asked him behind gritted teeth. “I have heard enough of this”. The white haired shareholder said, and she rose up to her feet, before she added, “If I had known that it was because of dismissing our current chairman that this meeting was meant for, I would never have shown up in the first place”. “How humiliating, CEO Nathan. You divorced your wife, and it was you and your current partner who made matters worse for Glems' company. Instead of owning up to your mistakes, you had the audacity to want to dismiss your father, the chairman. This younger generation has no single shame”. She said to me and then fixed her attention on the shareholders. “And all you, don't you have any shame? We should have left after he uttered the first words about dismissing our chairman”. She added, and every word she spoke was enough to send fire into my veins. I clenched my fists and bit my lower lips because her words seemed to be getting into the heads of the shareholders, and

Valentina's pov, I lay on the soft white sofa and waited patiently for Nathan inside his office. It had been over an hour since I was there alone in his office, and he had yet to return to me. Bored and stressed out because of my messed up and so called family, I decided to make use of my newly bought cell phone to check for places where Nathan and I could go for our honeymoon. You may be wondering. Yes, that's right. I was smart enough to set aside some money for my cell phone before my money ran out. But my predicament is not going to last for long, because I have Nathan now. He was now my husband and within no time, my bank account was going to be swimming with a lot of money. I just had to ask him, and he was going to give it to me. By the way, I feel less stressed out after knowing fully well that those two useless brothers of mine were no longer going to pester my life asking me for more money. Money that I had completely run out of. And my mother, she still depended on

“I like you, Adira”. Franklin repeated the words he had said to me, and hearing them, I understood that the words I heard him say earlier didn't just appear inside my head out of the blue. It was Franklin. He was the one who had actually said those words to me. Wait. Did this mean that the thought I had previously about him being interested in me was not just a guess but turned out to be real? “I am sorry for confessing my feelings to you in this way. I really thought about telling you about my feelings after you returned to Delfinda city. But, I can not withhold my feelings for you any longer”. He said to me, who hadn't yet recovered from the shock of his earlier words. He likes me? He?I didn't even know what to feel. “I will call you back later”. I said to him and hung up the call, not giving him the chance to say any other thing to me. Though he called me like a second later, I did not answer his call, because what could I possibly say to him when my mind was still in shock

Joanne’s pov, I have searched every inch of my apartment, but my ID card was nowhere to be found. It was as if it disappeared into thin air. But how was that possible? One thing that I could be certain about myself was that I am not careless when it comes to safekeeping my stuff. So, where the heck did my ID card disappear to? I left my apartment and headed for the elevator quickly. Because even as I searched for my ID card, time was being ironic and did not wait for me. I said so because it felt like time went by quickly, and I had to stop searching for the ID card and was heading for the hospital to meet my Daddy. He must be hungry. I decided that after giving him his breakfast, I would continue to search for my ID card, or at least, think about the last place I saw it before it went missing in a blink of an eye. But what was there to think about when I knew exactly where I last kept it and also saw it? It was inside my handbag, and I was the one who put it in there myself

After Michael left the ward, my Dad returned like a second later, and I turned away from him immediately because I did not want him to see my face. Both my eyes were filled with tears and were blurry and could not see things clearly, and my cheeks were soaking wet from the tears which had escaped from my eyes. I really did not want him to see how miserable I was.“What happened, sweetie? I saw Michael leaving. Joanne, are you alright? Look at me, dear”. My Daddy said to me, and I felt that he was standing behind me because of his strong presence which I sensed. “Dad, Michael does not want anything to do with me anymore. He does not want us to get back together”. I said to him, and the more I heard these words, reality continued to strike me and tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably. I whimpered and covered my face using my palms. In all my life of being on earth, I have never felt this weak and helpless before. My Dad came and stood in front of me right away. I think the
