The humiliation

Claire’s POVAfter a particularly rough and sleepless night, during which I tossed and turned, haunted by the memory of my humiliation at Jeff's hands, I had no choice but to go pick up my things at the office.One thing I knew for sure was that Jeff was going to regret choosing that nitwit of a woman over me.Also, as I told him last night, the two of them sure hadn’t heard the last from me. They would feel a hundredfold of the pain that they had caused me, and that’s a fact.Before going over to pick up my stuff, I had told myself I would be dignified today. I won't give any of them in that goddamned office the satisfaction of seeing how hurt I was by my sudden dismissal.So I dressed carefully, ensuring that I looked perfect, regal, and unbothered. If I were going to pick up my personal stuff, then I would look dignified doing it.That brilliant decision cracked the moment I stepped into the building, and fully shattered when I entered my now former office.For starters, everyone,

The plea and refusal

Claire’s POVIn fact, several of them had the unmitigated gall to boldly lift their phones and record me being escorted away.I immediately stopped struggling and desperately tried to hold on to whatever remaining dignity I had left as the security guards led me insistently away.I could feel my reputation disintegrating into ashes right before me. The press was going to, without a doubt, have a field day circulating whatever videos and pictures would get out there today.By the time I got outside, my hands and, in fact, my whole body, were shaking. I drove straight to my father’s house, tears of pain and disgrace burning my eyes and blurring my vision.I needed him to harangue me about my poor choices, so my mind could get hardened about Jeff. My mom took one look at me and immediately knew that I was hurting badly.“Oh, honey. Come here.” She said, stretching out her arms to me.I went into her outstretched arms and cried my heart out. Maybe if it had been someone else who was the c

The sordid past

Claire’s POVSilence wallowed in the room for several moments, and then I spoke again, my tone bitter, even to my ears.“You know they’ll never allow me to come back. You know that better than anyone else. They frustrated me a lot when I was working there before. They were always finding fault in every single thing I did. They clearly didn't want me there, so of course, when a better offer came, I had to take it. That was one of the reasons I was happy to work at Jeff’s company, among others. That mother of theirs is such a wicked woman.”“Well, I’m sorry, honey, but I don’t have a say in this. You know their mother is the major owner of the company. I helped her run it because she wasn’t interested in doing that, and I built it into what it is today, but she did inherit it from her parents and has the final say. I did hurt and betray her, and it’s actually a miracle that she didn’t boot me out after she found out about your mother and me. I can't blame both her and your siblings for

The scandal

Jeff’s POVThe last thing Wilson Global Fashions needed right now was more publicity, especially not negative one, but that was all we had been getting for days now, courtesy of a disgruntled Claire. After the fiasco that took place on the day she came to get her things from the office, she began to spoil my name to every gossip channel that cared to listen … of which there were a lot of them.She told them that she had sacrificed her family for me and turned her back on them, only for me to use and dump her like a sack of hot potatoes.In no time, the blogs did what they did best. They immediately dug out the confrontation I had with Ashley during the business trip the other day, when she couldn't present because of a fault with her tablet.I had gotten some bad publicity with that event too, and now that this one added to it, they promptly labelled me a mean tyrant and misogynist, who took delight in demeaning and torturing women.In all fairness, though, I had to admit that my bod

Acceptance

Jeff’s POV“Jeff, please. Stop apologizing. You’re beginning to sound like me when Claire was after my life. I was always apologizing for everything. You don’t have to apologize. It’s okay. We’re good.”I stared at her in shock for several moments, unable to believe my eyes. Was Ashley actually laughing with me and cracking jokes? It was unbelievable, but it was also a refreshing change.I smiled at her. “Oh, well. That’s good then. I just wanted to get that cleared and out of the way."“No worries, it’s all in the past. Besides, I would be an ingrate to stay mad at you after the promotion and compensation I was given. Anyway, that was why I came here. I wanted to thank you, and also let you know that I’ve accepted your apology. I’m happy to continue working here. I understand the responsibility that comes with Claire’s former position, and I’ll do my best to fill it properly.”I heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear, Ashley. I don’t doubt it at all. Thank you.”I studied her

Mixed feelings

Jeff’s POVThe drive down from the hospital to my family’s house felt longer than it actually was. The streets we drove past looked strange, yet at the same time familiar.This was a quiet, sleepy, rich neighborhood, so there wasn’t much to see other than sprawling mansions. Several years had passed since I last came to this area, even though I was living in the same city.The men manning the gate were shocked to see me, and they quickly opened the gates to let my driver and me in.When the car finally slowed in front of the house that I remembered so well … the house in which I spent a very happy childhood, before it all went to shit later on, my chest tightened.The main house still looked the same, large and imposing, and surrounded by well-manicured lawns. This was the place where my mother had spent her last weeks in utter agony, while my father was nowhere to be found.This was where she cried every day in agony as her illness worsened, begging my sister and me to plead with our

The look of death

Jeff’s POV“Hi …” The little boy, my father's son, said, climbing my right foot with both his legs, and slipping a few times until he finally found his footing.Staring down at that small face caused a lump to form in my throat, and I quickly looked away from him. Eliza must have noticed my reaction, because she quickly pulled the child away, just as an unfamiliar woman, a nanny, I presumed, came to take the boy away.He waved happily at me as he was carried away, and despite myself, I couldn’t help but give him a small smile. He was an innocent child in all of this, after all.He didn't ask to be involved in this whole mess. I had only seen him once before, which was when he was still a toddler.Eliza had taken it upon herself to act as his surrogate mother. I had no idea where his birth mother was, and knew nothing about her. I didn't want to know either.Eliza cleared her throat. “I’m sorry about that. We rarely get visitors, so he's always very happy to meet new people. I'm glad y

Pleasantries

Jeff’s POVI handed him the small present that I brought for him, and he took it from me gratefully with a shaking, bony hand. His voice was weak, but unmistakably warm when he spoke. “Thank you, son. Jeff ... you came ... I’m so glad you did. I didn’t think that I would see you again until I passed.”“Don’t talk about such morbid things as death. Of course, I came. I told you that I would, didn’t I?” I said, forcing a smile as I moved closer.He dropped the present beside him on the sofa and extended his shaking hand to me for a handshake. I shook it, hating that despite how strong and hardhearted I thought I was, it was impossible to stay mad at him once I set my eyes on him.Only an unfeeling ogre would have the heart to stay mad at a man in his condition, who looked the way he did.“Thank you, son.” He said, his voice conveying just how much he meant those two words.The lump in my throat grew larger. Damn, I knew that this visit would be emotional, but i had no idea it would

A busy man

Tom’s POVI was in another country when my entire world shifted on its axis and literally ended, never to remain the same again.I once had it all ... a booming business that made me well on my way to being among some of the richest men in the county, and even better, a family that I adored and loved to bits. I had always been big on family time and always being there for my wife and children.Then one day, I decided to expand my company and open a new branch in another country, something that was no mean feat, and came with a lot of challenges.Opening and overseeing this new branch took a lot of my time, and then some, but I wasn't one to back down from challenges.My companies were going global, and the feeling was a heady one. I wanted it to continue that way until we were known worldwide. Unfortunately, however, luck wasn't on my side. The new branch started well, I suppose, as did my other branches, and I thought everything was fine, but all of a sudden, the company started to

Adverse conditions

Tom’s POVThose had to be some of the scariest words that I had ever heard in my entire life. Jeff was such a tough young man, and to hear him talk with such fear immediately scared the crap out of me, because it told me just how bad the situation was.“What?! Oh, my goodness. What's wrong with her? Where are you now? Are you with her?” I asked frantically, already imagining the worst.I should have taken Elaine's frequent illnesses more seriously than I did, but I had been so busy that I allowed myself to believe her when she told me that it was the flu or just a mild illness.I should have known that couldn't be the case, because Elaine had always been a strong woman who rarely ever fell sick, and for her to keep falling ill over and over again was very suspicious.“The doctor hasn't come to give us any news yet, so we don’t know what’s wrong with her. We’re still waiting. Dad, you need to come immediately. I’m sure she’s going to start asking for you as soon as she wakes up.”“You
