RAEI angrily threw my things into my bag, I was done for the day and needed to go home. It was just so damn annoying that Axel had to show up and ruin my fucking day. His presence alone was all it took to push me into a foul mood.What was he expecting when he showed up?It was how stupid he thought money was the ultimate solution to everything. He is just fucking idiot and I couldn’t stand him at all. I tolerated him for three whole years. Shouldn't that be enough?Why did he have to be the person who wanted the building?I could bet with my life that he only offered money because he was confident that he could throw money in my face and I would let it go. He fucking got it wrong.I slammed my laptop shut and put into my drawer.A knock came on the door and I straightened up looking to see who was going to walk in this time.“It’s me” Rickon snickered as he opened the door“You can never know at this point” I sighed“Already leaving?” He asked looking at my packed bag“Yeah two mi

RICKON Her eyes lit up so brightly whenever she laughed, it warmed my heart in a weird way that I wanted her to keep laughing. She had come a long way and seeing a smile return to her face felt better than I would have imagined it to. I took Jack's advice and took her out for dinner. I made a reservation at the restaurant. I preferred to have dinner alone so I rented it out so it would be just us. Although I panicked and told her we were meeting with a client. There was no one client, it was just her and me.“When is he showing up?” She asked “Who?” I pretended like I didn’t already know what she was asking about“The new artist you wanted to meet me” she recalled “Yeah about that” I dragged my words“I just wanted to come to dinner with you” I hid my smile behind my glass but she wasn’t smiling back“I wanted to apologize about the fundraiser and getting you there against your wish” I quickly said“By bringing me to dinner under a pretense?” She asked, but it didn’t look good at a

“Why are you in my house” I tossed a pillow at Jack who lay on my couch eating a bag of chips.“Where did you go” he jumped with a sheepish smile on his face“None of your business, get out” I walked into the kitchen taking a bottle of water from the fridge and he followed me“You took my idea didn’t you?” He was smiling in my ear“Is that why you are in my house?” I glared at him“Giving me my flowers wouldn’t hurt” he nudged me “And from the smile on your face, it went well” “You say too much and I would be on the phone with your dad to drag you to grad school if you don’t shut up” I threatened him with the words he hated to hear“Come on don’t do that, I only asked a question” he lifted his hands in surrender “Just a little piece of advise” I winked“Did you drop her car at her house?” I asked“Yes, I left the keys with the nanny” he pouted“Aren’t you going to give details of what happened?” He asked“No”“Fine I would ask Rae then” “She got really drunk I doubt she would remem

AXEL“Sir you need to see this” my secretary rushed into the office without knocking“Why the fuck would you just barge in like that” I hissed“It is important sir” The panicked look on his face made me concerned “What is it?” I asked“There is a claim being made” he tried to show me his phone screen“Just read it out! What the hell is it?” “Rae has a child” I believe I heard him say“You say?” I asked, and I pushed the file I was looking at to the side “Rae Knight has a child, it has been posted everywhere” I emphasized “Give me that” I snatched the phone from his grip and tried to read what was on the screen but I couldn’t see anything, everything became blurry all of a sudden.What did he mean by Rae had a child?I blinked repeatedly to clear my eyes and slowly I could read the article on the screen. “Secret Baby Exposed: Ex-wife of CEO and business mogul exposed for having a child” The headline read in all red, a picture of Rae followed and one line caught my eye.“The fath

LIANNAI made them make the post at midnight just for the sake of dramatic effect. By the time everyone wakes up in the morning and goes to their phone the news would be there waiting for them. There were over ten variations of that news that would break the internet back-to-back.She was having an affair while married?!Her supposed fake death was because she was fucking pregnant!Getting a major job role because she was sleeping with the gallery owner!And a whole lot more.She is such a fucking whore and I knew there was no way on earth that she wouldn't have anything that could be used against her and I found the most perfect thing I could ever find. I was about to make her go through hell before I finally ruined her fucking life.I didn't sleep a wink the whole night and it was just out of excitement nothing else, I kept waiting for the sun to rise so the articles could gain traction, multiple blogs posting about it while the public analyzed the situation and tore her down to fuc

RAEI woke up to find myself in my bed.I looked around confused, trying to remember how I even got there in the first place. The last thing I remembered was sitting in a restaurant across from Rickon.I slowly got out of bed to check on Theo and he was sleeping peacefully in his cot. I let out a sigh, trying to replay the whole night in my head.I walked into the living room and found my purse tossed in one corner. My heels were on the floor, but I was still dressed in my work outfit.On the counter sat a bottle of wine.The same wine we had been drinking at the restaurant.“Did he get me a whole bottle?” I gasped softly, staring at it in confusion.What exactly happened last night? I sat still trying to scan my brain for answers but couldn’t find any. I checked the time and my eyes widened, I was going to be late if I did not start getting ready immediately.I rushed into the shower and took the quickest bath possible. The entire time I kept searching around for my phone, but I cou

“What is that about?” I asked when we got into the car“It is nothing” he lied through his teethIt was obviously far from nothing “I just saw a poster calling me an adulterous whore, what do you mean it is nothing?” My eyes widened in confusion“You literally showed up to my house to drag me out in such a hurry and you say it is nothing?” I asked and he didn't respond still, he just looked ahead driving with such urgencyI didn't have my phone to find out what the hell was going on. I just decided to sit still and watch it play out, instead of asking questions only to be met with deaf ears.“Can I at least know where you are taking me?” I asked“Rickon’s” he finally responded to that question, I let out a loud groan that was the last place I wanted to be.I cradled Theo in my arms, and we left in such a hurry that I didn’t get the chance to strap him into his carrier, everything was thrown into the trunk. A lot of things were running through my mind. It was impossible to sit still

“Are you okay?” Jack walked up to me, I sat at a corner in the living room and just stared into the distance not saying a single word to anyone.I didn't know what to do or think about. I still didn't understand how it got out. I read every comment under every post and they all had the worst to say about me. I was called names that sent spears through my chest but that was the least of my worries.Has Axel seen it?What does Axel think about it?And his family? His father? What do they think about it?I yanked my hair like a mad person unable to keep my mind in order.“Theo is playing with Anne you don't have to worry” he said“I think you have had enough of this” he took the tablet from me“Are we not headed to work?” I asked“You are not in the right state to be at work” he told me“I am fine” I combed my fingers through my hair and tried to stand up but he held me back“How long would I keep doing everyone back because my life is a mess” I forced out a laugh“Just sit still and do

AXELIt didn't take long for my father's secretary to show up at my front door to summon me to the presence of my father. I knew I wasn't far off when I switched off my phone.“Go meet daddy, dear father must have a word” Lianna cackled as I picked up my jacket to leaveShe was extremely taunting, laughing in my face and just acting like a fool. I wanted to be as far away from her as possible because I don't know what I might do.I called my secretary as I got into the car“Hello” he answered after one ring “Prepare my vacation home, I will be there this evening” I told him “Okay sir” he said“Also send a car to my parents' house to come get me” I said before abruptly ending the callThere was no way in hell I was spending the night with her. It was just crazy how it had gotten to the point where I strayed away from my own house. She did a lot of bullshit before but was somewhat tolerable. I could avoid the bedroom and stay in a guest room or lock myself up in my study. But this was

RAE I put Theo to sleep and somehow found myself wandering into the large yard behind the house. It was quite late, but the lights outside were bright enough to illuminate the entire garden. I slowly walked along the stone path, running my fingers over the roses as I passed by them. I had one thing in my mind which was to leave Rickon’s house and take care of my mess. I planned to do that the next day, but I just had to stay the night. I told myself. I didn’t want it to stretch past that at all. I was genuinely grateful that he came for me. I mean those people found my address and plastered their posters all over it, which was very scary but I had to push back that fear and return to the house. I was already enough of a burden. It just leaves me to wonder what I did to deserve someone like him. He was the reason I was still standing and he didn’t stop there, he still looked out for me. I owed him so much that I would never be able to pay him back in my lifetime. I walked aroun
