Chapter 1. Sabotage

Josh Morgan Sterling“Sorry. I hope you did not wait long.” I slid on a booth of our favorite restaurant where Daisy, my girlfriend, had been waiting for me.Then, I grabbed her hand and held it tight. I was in another boring meeting when she called and asked to meet. Her voice sounded urgent. Daisy nodded. She shook my hand off and reached for the glass of sparkling water in front of her.The distraction prompted me to reach for the folder I had placed on the table when I sat down. I brought it as an afterthought. I initially wanted it to be a surprise, but when I heard Daisy’s sad voice on the phone, I took it and hoped it would brighten her mood.Daisy’s voice, filled with an odd mix of resignation and urgency, interrupted me.“I don’t think this is working, Josh. Let’s break up.” My hand stilled. The smile painted on my face disappeared. Time froze for a moment as expectation plummeted, and then a wave of disappointment followed as Daisy’s words sank in. I could feel someth

Chapter 2. Fired

Olivia Barnett POV“You are fired!”I instinctively shut my eyes after my boss, Josh Morgan Sterling, CEO of Sterling Enterprises and the sole heir to the vast Sterling wealth, delivered his heart-stopping verdict that would change my life.I bent my head. This is not the first time he has scolded me in front of everyone in the six months that I have worked for him. I should have been prepared, except that the anger I saw in his eyes, in the wide set of his jaw and the rage that shook his entire body made me pause. I bit my lip hard, feeling a wave of shame rush through me, horrified at the look of pity my co-workers directed at me. The same people who had become a witness to how I ate Mr. Sterling’s reproach for breakfast. How his yelling, even the tick of his jaw leaves me shaken. Today was no better. Mr. Sterling showed no remorse. He stomped his way toward his office, banging the door after he got inside.The echo it created around my heart made me want to cry right there and t

Chapter 3. The Only One

Olivia BarnettI was speechless.It took me a few moments before the shock wore off and I reacted belatedly. I cried out Todd’s name, but Todd’s assaulter disregarded my struggles. He disregarded my concerns and, with little effort, pulled me away.“It’s useless. He’s unconscious.” He rasped in a familiar voice.My eyes widened in shock. I shook my head to dismiss the notion that I knew this man, but the hard pounding of my heart says otherwise.The intruder, who does not feel like an intruder anymore, dragged me out of the dimly lit bar to a well-lit hallway, and that’s when I recognized him.“You!” I snatched my arm to wrap it protectively around my body and stepped back. Fear roiled within me. Now that we are alone, I am afraid of what he will do to me. He was the same man. The same Josh Morgan Sterling that I had known since I was thirteen, but he looked different.His jaw was set, and his eyes blazed with fire. His face was flushed, too.“Yes. Me.” The acknowledgment did not ease

Chapter 4. About Last Night

Olivia Barnett POV“You’re back!” Lucy cried when I walked back to the office the next day. She ran to me and hugged me excitedly as if it was the first time we met again in a long while, and not just last night.“I knew it! The boss did not mean to fire you! Yey!” Her hands grasped my upper arms and shook me, my head and body bouncing at the impact and it made the dull ache in my temple intensify. I winced.“I need to know the deets!” She told me, voice filled with excitement. I shook my head to ward her off. Her enthusiasm this early is killing me. “There are no deets!” Her enthusiasm crashed and her voice dropped low. “At least tell me, did you have a hot wild night with Todd?” I hate to tell her that though my night was wild, Todd was never a part of it. Todd right now was safe on his bed when I called to check on him this morning. But Lucy was on a roll. She waited for my response so I stabbed her with a disgruntled look that failed to stop the wide grin appearing on her fac

Chapter 5. Fix This

Olivia Barnett POVMorning seemed to pass by in a blur. The office was quite busy, but Josh’s door remained closed with no hint of activity inside. Lunch soon arrived and everyone had gone on their breaks except me. I was not hungry. I was more tired, actually. My body feels like a bus ran over it, but I couldn't tell that to Lucy when she invited me for lunch. Instead, I just told her that I was waiting for a delivery. It’s the truth anyway. My one million dollar purchase is arriving anytime today. Lucy did not argue. When she got back from lunch, she had some very juicy information for me. I did not realize that the grapevine had been working full time during the lull hours. “Did you hear?” Lucy asked when she sidled up to my table right after lunch break to place a wrapped sandwich on the corner and a bottle of milk. I smiled inwardly. Lucy had a way of looking out for me without being obvious.I pretended not to hear her, and continued typing. Lucy went right ahead in inform

Chapter 6. Silent Truce?

Olivia BarnettIt was half past two in the afternoon when I finally finished with half of my work for the day. After the delivery crew left, I began to tidy Josh’s desk, and that’s when I saw the folder that contains a blueprint for a house. It says on the title Daisy’s dream house. So, this is what made him angry yesterday. Or maybe it was more than that?I felt a pang of regret, seeing how Josh had been making future plans with Daisy in his mind, and now, they had broken up.The grapevine gossip also mentioned that Daisy left for abroad yesterday.While I don’t personally like Daisy, I do not want to see Josh hurting.
