MALCOLMRhonda cleared her throat and continued up the stairs. “I’ll head to my room.”Embarrassment traveling through me, I quickly followed her. But I barely made it past them when Martha called.“Malcolm!” she exclaimed. “Where do you think you are going?”“I was...” I gestured towards Rhonda but quickly realized they were traditionalists and were against sex before marriage.Her gaze lingered on the mark on my neck, utter disgust written all over her face. Having each other’s marks on our necks indicated that we had clearly had sex, and that disgusted them.She cleared her throat. “I am making dinner myself, and I need help in the kitchen.”The maids could clearly do that. But anything to prevent me from making love with my woman, I guess.“Sure,” I nodded without hesitation.“Cock blockers,” I told Rhonda through the mind-link, and she laughed out loud.Martha and Zack darted their gazes between us, knowing we had clearly communicated through the mind-link.But without saying any

132| Little Lion.

RHONDAThere’s an expression I couldn’t quite read on Malcolm’s face. But I could tell something wasn’t right. Malcolm and Grandma left the kitchen after me, following me to the dining room.Grandpa was seated at the head of the rectangular table, while Grandma settled on the right beside him. Leo was next to Grandma, while Malcolm and I sat next to each other on the opposite side of the table.On the table before us was Grandma’s infamous lemon and garlic roasted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans almondine, buttery dinner rolls, honey glazed carrots, and homemade gravy. The room smelled heavenly, and I could see the light in Leo’s eyes as he devoured the food in front of him.I glanced at Malcolm and our eyes met.Before I could say anything, his mind-link came through. “Is there anything you want to tell me?” he asked.I paused, a fork hovering over my lips. “That’s a strange thing to ask over dinner. What did you and Grandma discuss in the kitchen?”“Answer my question p

133| Global Pulse.

RHONDAThe following day, Malcolm was back here as promised. I was dressed in a white knee-length dress to signify peace and purity. And a sharply tailored navy blue blazer over it. My hair was packed up in a tight bun and I had contact lenses on instead of my glasses.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Malcolm asked as he opened his arms to receive me. He was leaning against his car while I walked towards him, my heels clinking against the floor.A smile touched my lips and I nodded. He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my temple as he pulled away from the hug.The ride to the Global Pulse was a long and anxious one. I kept reiterating the interview questions Ivy had sent to me, answering those questions in my head. This interview might determine the fate of SkyTech and I dared not fuck it up.“Are you sure you don’t want me to go in there with you?” Malcolm asked as he pulled in front of the tower.Before arriving at my grandparents’ manor, he had asked to follow me inside for th

134| The Truth.

RHONDA“We are going on break. When we come back, we are going to look at those logs live,” Ivy announced.As the lights flicked off, Ivy flicked her gaze at me, shock in her eyes. “Girl. You didn’t tell me you had such evidence against that fucker.”“I do,” I nodded, “and I don’t mind ruining him with it.”“Now that’s what we are talking about. He deserves it. But...” she paused, concern flickering in her eyes, “are you sure you want to do this? The legal battle that might follow may be brutal.”“I am ready for it,” I muttered.Victor, who had been standing in a corner with Kane, suddenly approached.“Your phone has been ringing non-stop. Do you want to take it?” he asked.I nodded and extended my hand for it.He handed it to me and stepped aside. A hard frown masked my face when I glanced at the screen and realized that it was Theodore calling. I hesitated, but I eventually picked it.“What do you want?” I groaned into the phone.“Rhonda, what did I just watch?” Theodore groaned fro

135| Weird.

RHONDAMy eyes lit up with excitement as I leapt to my feet and slowly approached him.“What is this beauty?” I beamed.Malcolm chuckled, and the next thing I knew, he held up a car key tied with a pink ribbon and flashed it at me.I stopped in my tracks, my eyes widening in perplexity.“No, no.” I shook my head in disbelief as I processed his intention before he even spelt it out.“No.” I shook my head again in shock.“I have always wanted to give you this. But I guess this is the perfect time. This is to appreciate you for helping the company skyrocket again,” he muttered with a smile on his face. “Thank you, Rhonda.”“No.” I shook my head, tears streaming down my face as I continued to approach him. “This is too much. This is too huge.”“Nothing is too much for you, my love.” He closed the distance between us and handed me the flowers in his hands. “Here’s to forever. I love you so much.”“I love you too.” I took the flowers with one hand and wrapped the other hand around him. “Are

136| Front Seat.

RHONDA“Uhm...” Malcolm pinched the bridge of his nose as he continued, “would you like to go with me? At least this would serve as an opportunity for you to finally meet her. I’m sure you’ll like her.”“Are you sure?” I asked and he nodded.“Yes, I am sure.”The ride to the pack house was silent. When we arrived, Emma was waiting for him in the foyer. She was dressed in a deep blue maxi dress, her red hair falling over her shoulder. She plastered a wide smile on her face when she sighted Malcolm, but that smile dropped the moment she saw me.“You must be Rhonda,” Emma muttered, her eyes sweeping from my head to toe as she approached us.Something felt weird about her tone, but I ignored it.“And you are Emma,” I extended my hand for a handshake, “nice to meet you.”She gazed at my hand for longer than a few seconds before hesitantly taking it.“Malcolm has said so much about you,” a small smirk touched her lips.Withdrawing her hand, she flicked her gaze at Malcolm.“Shall we please?

137| Inevitable.

RHONDA“You are so beautiful,” Rosaline said as she led me to the dining area, making me blush so hard.“You are even more gorgeous,” I returned the compliment to her.A blush crept up her cheeks. “Oh please.”“For real. You are aging beautifully. Grey hair had never looked better on anyone,” I continued with the compliment as I sat on one of the chairs.I remembered she used to have a beautiful shade of strawberry blonde hair. But now it was completely grey. She was still as beautiful as ever.“Don’t flatter me, daughter,” she chuckled.She sat opposite me, while Malcolm sat just beside me. His hand reached my thigh and he squeezed it gently.“Are you okay?” he asked.I glanced at him and nodded.“Gossiping without me?” Rosaline muttered, and we flicked our gazes at her.“I know you just used the mind-link to communicate. Come on. Give me the tea,” she said, making me laugh so hard.“I can tell you use social media a lot,” I said with a smile spreading across my lips. “There’s no TE

138| War.

RHONDAThe name Evergreen Textile Company was displayed across the wall of the grand lobby. Instead of ordinary lettering, the word Evergreen had been crafted entirely from textiles of different textures and vibrant colours. Braided silks, raw wool, and shimmering synthetic fibers in every shade of the spectrum blended seamlessly into one another to form a logo. It was the largest textile company, generating the highest revenue year after year.It’s been years since I last came here and everywhere looked even more beautiful. I was so proud of my grandparents’ achievements so far. A pang of pain hit my chest at the thought of taking over the company. If my mom was here, she would have been the CEO. But I had to replace her.“Impressive, isn’t it?” a voice said behind me as I stood in front of the company’s name, inscribed on the wall with layers of fabric.I turned to see a man in a charcoal suit with a straight posture.“I am Julian Vane, the chief of operations,” he introduced himsel

139| Audi A6.

RHONDAThat man was nothing short of pathetic. He kept showing how dumb he was in every way. Did he think Malcolm would give out my location just because he asked? The only thing he would end up getting was a whooping ass kick.“Malcolm,” I called, hoping he would hear me, but he seemed to have dropped his phone inside his pocket while he faced Theodore. I couldn’t hear clearly, just muffled sounds as the mouthpiece had been blocked by his pocket.I let out an exasperated sigh and ended the call. If I knew where he was, I would’ve gone there right now. Since I didn’t, I just had to wait until he finished with Theodore.“Is everything alright? You suddenly turned pale,” Sloane muttered with concern as she stared at me.“Everything is fine,” I plastered a smile on my face. I couldn’t be sharing my personal issues with people I just met....MALCOLM“Trailing me now, huh? Are you that obsessed with me?” I asked as I rolled my sleeves up. “Or do you need me to beat you the fuck up?”“I am

140| Weird.

RHONDAWhen Malcolm arrived at the underground parking lot of the tower, I gathered my things inside my bag and left. I met up with Victor and Kane in the lobby downstairs where they had hung around all day waiting for me.“That’s my baby. My beautiful CEO,” Malcolm grinned as I approached his car.A wide smile formed on my face as I wrapped my arms around him.“How was your day at work?” I asked.“Well...” he shrugged, “definitely not the same without you in it. I miss having you around.”“I also miss having you around.” The smile on my face faded into a frown when I noticed the words scratched into his car.“Theodore,” I groaned as rage simmered within me. I flicked my gaze at Malcolm. “I am really sorry.”“Stop apologizing. Please,” he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer, “it wasn’t you who did it.”“But it’s my fault and...”“Shhh...” he placed his index finger over my lips to shut me up.I sighed heavily and pressed my lips together in defeat.“I wish to see Leo today.
