CAEL’S POVI turned to him sternly, “I hate threats, Oliver. If you have chosen to take my side, you need to remain there. I don’t like people who shift their allegiance very much.”Oliver sighed and bowed his head curtly, “I don’t mean to be rude, I only wish to confirm that our deal is still in place.”I nodded, “Oh yes, it is. Your task is protecting me and my interests while my duty is to get revenge for you. I will have a permanent place for you at my mansion so you can stay there. As for special orders, you will get them in time. Do you understand?”Oliver hesitated for a while before saying, “Yes, I understand.”“Good. You may take your leave,” I replied dryly. He bowed and walked out of the room, leaving me alone. The moment he left, I dropped everything in my hands and clenched my fists. Oliver might have come with me all the way here but gaining his trust was a separate issue that must be resolved for me to have no issues down the road. While I thought of the best way possib

CAEL’S POVI slept comfortably that night and Zara did too, right by my side on the bed. She did start from the couch last night but she must have changed her mind when it got too uncomfortable. Maybe I needed to buy a big couch for her moody days.She was still sleeping when I woke up and I entered the bathroom to freshen up for the day. Ten minutes to seven, I had finished dressing and Zara was just waking up. The moment our eyes met, she pretended as if she was still sleeping.I chuckled, “I know you’re up. Say good morning at least.”She didn’t respond.“It’s 6:50. Continue to lie down there and you’ll be late for work,” I told her gently. I got no response from her at first and then she sat up, stretching and yawning. She was putting in a good work with her pretension. I walked out of the room so she could have breathing space and I met Kate in the living room.“I see you are up already…” Kate muttered. “You are even ready for work.”“Of course, I am,” I replied lightly.“How abo

ZARA’S POV“We have to talk,” he told me earnestly.I looked around before replying, “Do you want to do that here?”He let go of my hand, “Let’s talk in the bedroom, that would be better for privacy.”I didn’t let him finish before I walked away. He came after me but took a healthy distance. Naturally, I entered the bedroom first and waited until I heard him close the door before I turned to him.“I wanted to talk about what happened earlier,” he started saying.“Anyone would be able to tell,” I said clearly. “Before you start wasting your time, I need you to know that I don’t want any explanation from you. There is no excuse for cheating so just own up to it.”“I should have done better,” he said calmly. Then he switched up, “But why are you so pissed off? I am sorry to say but our relationship is fake.”I bit my lower lip, regretting being vulnerable to him, “No, you are not sorry at all. Drop the gentleman act cause you don’t have a percent of gentlemanly blood flowing in your vein

NADIA’S POV“It has been a long time, sister,” I said excitedly. Zara looked so shocked, you would think she had seen a ghost. Later, she started to glare at me with those creepy eyes of hers. I crossed my arms, “I know you are not excited to see me but you can do a better job at hiding it.”“I have no reason to hide it,” she replied confidently.“There are other people here,” I pointed out. “Our family issues should stay among ourselves.”Zara gritted her teeth in anger while I flashed mine to annoy her the more.“Come to think of it, this place is a little crowded, isn’t it?” I said. “Go outside, Roberts. What is your name, Zara’s little secretary?”“You don’t get to talk to her like that,” Zara interrupted.“Are you angry?” I asked, laughing. “Why? Is it because I’m playing with your little toy?”“I told you I would pull out your hair if you keep at it, didn’t I?” Zara asked threateningly.I started to laugh mockingly, “Oh really? I’m so scared.”“Err…” Zara’s secretary coughed ner

CAEL’S POVAll hell was about to break loose or so I thought. You can imagine my shock when Oliver stepped aside and muttered, “Sorry.”Gerald walked outside and Oliver entered, closing the door. I kept my eyes on him, wondering what just happened here.“Who is he?” Oliver asked.That was when it clicked that Oliver didn’t know Gerald’s face. I found that really fortunate as something really bad would have happened if he had known his face. The door opened and Charles ran inside, panting.“Is there a problem?” Oliver asked worryingly. “The building isn’t under attack, is it?”“Err… Everything’s fine. I just thought it had been a while since I last ran. I just wanted to exercise,” Charles said, laughing nervously. “Everything is very okay.”“Why are you here, Oliver?” I asked.“Ah, right. I was called by the receptionist. She said you had a guest who was looking a bit threatening. She said you might need protection,” Oliver replied.“She did a useless thing. I am fine, the person wasn’
