Alex’s POV“Ouch”Punch“Ouch”Punch“Ouchh”Punch“Fucking take it easy man!!” The thud of my gloves hitting against Levi’s sparing pads and skin echoed in my private gym. Well the sounds of his insistent whining also contributed. Sweat dripped down my back, dampening the collar of my shirt as I threw another hook, maybe harder than necessary. My fist connected brutally to Levi’s Jaw and he staggered back.“I always knew you had it out for me, that could’ve killed me straight up.” Levi gasped in disbelief, the side of his lip already shedding blood.“You’re being dramatic, that can’t kill you. Now stop being a pussy and come back here, I’m not done.” I said gruffly, wiping a sweat drop from the bridge of my nose.Levi’s eyes widened. “Hell no! If you need a motherfucking punching bag to vent out all that anger, you have just enough in this damn gymnasium.” He said while dramatically flailing his hands towards the numerous boxing bags in the room.“No. I want you,” I said flatly.“A

Today’s the day. The day I finally fight for what I deserve for the first time in my life. My black work heels clicked loudly against the floor as I strode into the large conference hall, this wasn't the usual meeting room. The vibe this hall gave was sharp and cold.My outfit was deliberately picked to depict a power look. Tailored straight grey pants with a matching fitted blazer, paired with a few loose button down black shirt. I stood to my full length proudly in the middle of the room to address the audience of people who’d decide my fate in the next few minutes.They sat on two steps of tables on either side of me, stretching to the length of the room. There were exactly 210 shareholders in Jones enterprise. My eyes carefully did a round of sweeping their faces, just to find one absent, replaced by his female assistant.Everyone was here, except him — our top holder, Alexander De Luca.My gaze flickered to the empty seat at the front, right beside my step brother, marked with hi

PingA notification caught my attention from my phone. And it wasn't just any notification — it was from Jacob Chester himself.“Fre…” I trailed off, my mouth hanging open in shock.“What's it now? “She inquired, trying to peer at my phoneI pushed the screen to her face to get a clearer view. Jacob was offering me a contract. If I were to leave my father's company right now, with today's humiliation as a deciding factor, Jacob is more than willing to strike a life changing deal with meFreya snapped up to look at me, searching for an affirmation in my expression. “Are you…”“I mean…” I inhaled sharply through my nose “this is a lot to take in.”“Yes yes, don't rush into this, I'll support whatever decision you make.” She rushed out, shot me a tight lipped smile and a curt nod.I sighed “I'll think— ow! Motherfu— hm”“Hae! Hazel, what's wrong?!” Freya hovered over me unsure of where to touch or not to touch, as my body folded up against itself in pain. I bit the inside of my cheek t

Kali? What the hell is she doing here?My lips parted in shock, I wanted to say something but no words left my mouth. I turned to Kali who was now smirking deviously at me.Remaining calm was the least I could do to not appear stupid. “His ex wife? What could you possibly be looking for here?”Her smirk widened and her red lips curved into something more malicious. “That's right sweetie,” she cooed, her voice dripping with honey.“The original Mrs. De Luca, not some… replacement.” Kali finished, eying me up and down like a filthy rag doll.My stomach twisted and Nora, who’s still behind me, tugs at my sleeve as if telling me not to engage in a word war with her, but I can’t just let a stranger talk to me anyhow and get away with it.“You’re trespassing, I’d appreciate it if you take your gibberish with you to a mental ward. Seems like you need your head checked.” I said.“What?” she screeched. Well, ouch. This bitch.“Whatever… history you had with Alexander doesn’t give you the right

“There's a mandatory cooling off period before finalization, as per procedure.” The divorce clerk with the thin rimmed glasses said with a straight face.Come again. “What?” I asked the clerk behind the desk.“What do you mean by cooling off period? Alex, what does she mean by cooling off period?” I turned to Alex frantically, only to meet with a cool expression.After going over the tedious details like division of assets, mutual property, yada yada yada, all the legal jargon, she drops this bomb now?How the hell am I just finding out about a clause like this?“Yes ma'am,” she nodded her head, matter of factly. “It's mandatory for couples. It gives them the opportunity to reconcile or reconsider their decision before it's legally irreversible.”“You'll be notified once your final hearing is set.”I blinked “I'm sorry but six months is too far, we've made up our minds.”“It's the law Mrs. De Luca. We can't do anything about it.”“That's absurd!” I turned back to Alex and I swear, I c
