BE THE BOSS

Alvara “Mr Henson, you have a visitor wait—“ The lady at the reception begins to inform him but her words were caught off once she noticed the look of shock on Henson's face when he saw me. “Miss Alvara, I wasn't aware we had a pre-arranged meeting“ Henson stutters as if he'd just gotten caught in an act. “I came by because I was informed that our collaboration wouldn't be happening again. I thought to visit personal and check on you“ My gaze darts off to my father-in-law. “But, it seems like you are doing better than I thought. You even got yourself a new deal sealed“ Mr Quinn, Kai's father chuckles. “You speak as if he betrayed you, Alvara. It's not his fault the robot sensors turned out to be not functional anymore“ “And may I ask how you know the source problem, Mr Quinn?“ I asked. “Because Henson told me, Alvara“ Another chuckle escaped Quinn's lips. “You're not thinking I have something to do with the reason why your deal with Henson fell through, are you?““Did you, Mr Fo

A LOUD REJECTION

AlvaraI stared at Kai dumbfounded. “Are you aware of what you're saying right now?“ He nods, “Yes“ Chuckling nervously, I added. “I don't think you are. You're literally talking about handing over everything you've built to me““That's not such a bad thing, Alvara. Is it?“ He inquires. “You're my wife and partner. I'm not "handing over anything" to you. I'm simply sharing it“Still, the idea was too sudden. If it was too much for me to accept, how much more would his team members?I shook my head slowly. “Your board won't agree to that. Investors don't just wake up one morning and agree to a change in leadership“ Especially if the leader placed in charge is a woman. “They will if I say so“ He replies. “Don't stress yourself out over what hasn't happened yet, Alvara and seize this opportunity. It's only going to be for a little while“ “No matter how hard I think about this, Kai. Don't you think if your father finds out that I became the interim CEO of your company, it would only

TEST

Alvara There was a sudden tension in the air. Even Kai stiffened beside me. I bet he wasn't expecting Mr Vale's abrupt disapproval. “Mr Vale,“ Kai says carefully. “You haven't even heard—“ “I've heard enough, Kai and I don't like surprises“ He responds. “Especially one that involves leadership““Mr Vale, I don't intend to change your mind but may I have a word with you?“ I asked. “You may““Kai, please kindly dismiss your secretary“ Kai signals his secretary to leave. The secretary exits the main door sealing the door closed behind him.“I understand your concerns, Mr Vale“ I began. “This decision looks impulsive and from your point of view, you might find it absurd. The whole idea of Kai transferring his company's authority to me““The decision doesn't look impulsive“ Roman cuts in. “It is impulsive“ “Then allow me to clarify a few things to you, Mr Vale. This decision wasn't made by my husband in a whim of emotions because I'm in his“ I say. “It's because he thought I was comp

AURORA GRID PROJECT

AlvaraAs soon as the door closed faintly behind Roman, Kai spoke up. “You didn't tell me you were going to say that“ I blinked, “Say what?““That you'd step aside if you failed“ His voice tightened. I could sense that he was really displeased with the turn out of events. “You didn't even hesitate“ Moving towards Kai, I placed my hands on his cheeks gently. “There are going to be other ways to brush your father off my back. This can't be the only way“ “Honestly, I even feel bad that your father might want to attack your company because of m—“ “Let him try“ Kai cuts in. “But I don't think he would do that given how well he doesn't want to ruin his 'perfect' image as a father who loves his two sons“ Letting out a huge sigh, he asks. “Regardless, could you let me know next time before you do something like that?“I nod, “I will“ The conference room door opens as senior executives, legal advisors and financial analyst strolls in alongside Kai's secretary, Jamie. “What's going on,

SEVERED FAMILY TIES

Alvara“I'll be right there“ I said, already moving. “Give me thirty minutes“I hung up immediately. Then, turned to face Darren. “Sorry, Darren but there's a family emergency“ I explained. “I need to leave. Can we pick up where we left off when I get back?“He nods, “Of course“Hurrying down the hallway, by the time I reached the elevator and pressed the ascending button, my hands were shaking. As soon as the elevator door opened, I climbed on and pressed the descending button that led to the ground floor. Kayden was just 18. What on earth was he doing at the central station at his age? Moreover what were my parents doing that they couldn't keep an eye on him?I was too tensed to drive so I hailed for a taxi off the street. “Central station“ I said as I slid into the back seat. “Please get there as fast as you can“My phone buzzed. It was Kai. I couldn't answer his call in my state or else I might completely fall apart if I heard his voice so rather, I sent him a text that I'd c

MOLE

AlvaraMother's words felt like a blow to my chest. A reminder that I wasn't the victim but rather the cause of my failed marriage. “You're right, Mother“ I admit. “I married Williams despite you and father's disapproval so I had to make the marriage work like you said““And I tried to do that“ I added, “Until the plagiarism issue with my company happened and I caught him in bed with my best friend. If the tables had turned, you can deceive yourself and stay in that marriage so as to avoid embarrassment but I couldn't““It wasn't easy—walking away from Williams. Just as it wasn't easy marrying him despite you and father's disapproval“ I continued. “But, I always put myself first before anyone. That's what I've always done and intend to keep doing“ Tears threatened to roll down my cheeks but I held them back. “People learn everyday from their mistakes, Mother“ I continued. “So, one thing I wouldn't do to myself is stay in a marriage where I'm not happy. I'd rather learn from that ex

UNTIL THE END OF TODAY

AlvaraI laughed, “Nice try, Williams. If you think I'm going to believe you, you're going to have to think harder““You're currently cloning the aurora and using its model to run sandbox trials to be able to observe possible flaws that might encounter when the project is launched. Isn't that so?“I stilled. Someone was indeed leaking out information to Williams. But who could possibly do such a thing?Even if they weren't satisfied with me being the lead of this project. They should have at least considered Kai's feelings. This was a huge project. Was it worth screwing over because of me?“So what?“ I asked. “Are you going to give this information to a rival company or something and screw it over just like you did with my company?““Not yet“ He admits. “I have bigger and better plans to ruin both you and my brother“I groaned. “Both you and your father should find yourselves other things to do rather than making Kai and I your biggest priorities. Don't you ever worry about Freya?““

TAKING THE HEAT

Alvara“Until the end of today? That's not possible, Mr Vale““Then make it possible, Miss Alvara“ He fired back. “Or you—and the rest of your employees should get packing“ I remained silent. I trusted my employees. Aside from that fact, given their recent experience with the plagiarism issue my company faced; they wouldn't do something like this. Especially since they have no knowledge about AGP. The conference room where the briefing was held only consisted a few number of persons. None of my employees were inclusive.“What you need is a person to take the blame for the information leak, correct?“ I asked. “Then, I'll do it. I'll take the blame, Mr Vale. Should I drop out of AGP now?“ He stared at me, taken aback. “What did you just say?““I understand where you're coming from, Mr Vale“ I admit. “To you, my employees are a bunch of people whom you can't trust but I can't let them take the blame for something they didn't do. Especially since you and I are both aware that none of m

DON'T MAKE A SOUND

AlvaraThe camera flashed. Reporters fired their questions—which I answered honestly. After that, the official statement about AGP was delivered as prepared. “Good work, everyone. Let's call it a night“ Kai says, dismissing his employees. I couldn't argue with that notion. It had been a long day. It was half past 10 in the evening now. Even I couldn't function any longer today. “Come on, let's go home“ Kai nudges, pulling me away with him as he walks out the company's main entrance door. I chuckled lightly as a thought hit me, “As the CEO and interim CEO of the company, aren't we supposed to be the last to leave?““Not today. You've been through a lot. Let's just get you home and rest“ When we got home, a sleepy Klein had been waiting for us at the front porch. “Honey, what are you doing out here?“ I asked, picking him up into my arms. “It's freezing out here“He was already sick. What if this cold makes him worse? What if it triggers his fever once again?Burying his face into

FIRST NIGHT

Alvara“I won't make a sound if—“ Kai cuts me off with a kiss. This kiss was different from the one we shared on our wedding day. It was a kiss that held no restraint. Kai's hands slide up into my hair, tilting my head back as his lips moved against mine with a hunger that sent heat coursing through my body. My hands reached down, searching the open edges of his nightgown shirt. Tightening my grip around it, I pushed the shirt over his head and tossed it randomly aside without a care. “Kai“ I moaned as he trailed kisses down my neck. “It tickles“ “Does it? I don't really know much about sex as it's my first time“ My jaw dropped, visibly. “It's YOUR first time?“He nods, looking away. “Does that surprise you?“ “Yes, it does“ I admit, honestly. Placing a soft kiss on my forehead, he whispers. “All my life Alvara, I've only always wanted you“ His hands found the button of my nightwear and slowly began to unbuckle it. The fabric shirt and pants slips down the length of my arms an
