Who Is It?

LARAThe next day, the launch began, and I must say, Ria did help me boost it. Because of that, it created multiple streams of income and brought in many new customers.My attention shifted to Gerald, who stood before me reporting on the progress, and I couldn't help but think about Bryan.I wonder what type of dress I should wear to the Gov Ball, I thought, my eyes drifting toward the window. I shook my head to stay focused, and at the same time, Gerald finished talking."Okay then. We can go with that one," I said, then leaned forward and opened my laptop. "You may leave."He didn't move immediately, but I pretended not to notice. He sighed softly before turning and walking away. Right at that moment, my phone buzzed. I picked it up to see a message from Bryan.[I'm outside the company.]Hum?I lowered my phone, stood up, and walked out of the office. Gerald quickly stood up."Is there something—"I ignored him and hurried toward the elevator. I pressed the button and watched as the

I'd Love To.

LARABryan stared at me, and my eyes slowly widened as realization dawned on me. Now everything made sense. I held my head, looking back at the company before letting out a shaky breath.“What should I do?” I whispered, turning to Bryan. “What if he attacks me—”“He wouldn't do that. Have a little faith in me.” Bryan chuckled, pushing himself off the car and holding my waist. “I'll make sure that man gets caught and find out if Gerkad is truly behind everything or if it's Ria.” He lifted my jaw so I could look at him. “But I don't want you worrying anymore. It makes you frown too much, and I don't want that. Remember, tomorrow's the Gov Ball, and I want you to attend it without any worries.”Hearing his words made my heart melt warmly. If I wasn't in public and standing in front of him, a tear would have slipped from my eyes. He's an angel and… I looked down, heat rushing to my face.My eyes widened in shock, and I pressed my fingers to my face. What the hell was that? He's my friend!

Blackmailing (2)

RIA“This will be your ward. The nurse will attend to you and also make sure you attend every session for monitoring.” The Head Nurse kept talking, pointing at different places around the ward I had been thrown into at the psychiatric hospital.My lips trembled violently, and my body shook uncontrollably as one name kept replaying in my head.Gerald! He fucking deceived me!“Ahhhhhhh!!!!” I screamed, stomping my feet on the floor and cutting the Head Nurse off.She looked at me with concern.“I don't want to hear a damn thing! I'll be out of here. I won't fucking stay here!”She took several steps back, raising her hands cautiously. The moment she walked out, she locked the door.I slumped to the floor, gripping my scarf so tightly that it hurt.How could he do this to me?Gerald loves me. He's shown me countless times that he loves me and would always choose me over Lara.Tears blurred my vision, dripping onto the floor.“What fucking changed him?” I hit the back of my head against t

Please... FORGIVE RIA

GERALDFEW HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT“Are you sure this is going to be another big scoop?” the reporter asked, lowering his coffee and looking at me uncertainly.I groaned, taking out my phone and opening an image. It was a picture of Lara hugging Bryan that I had taken yesterday.“This is the image, and you can see the invitation letter in her hand.” I showed him the picture, and he leaned forward, squinting. “I want your company to focus on her throughout today. I'll give you the perfect juice, as you call it, and you'll thank God you didn't reject this offer.”“Hmm... okay then.” He sighed, leaning back. “I'll talk to my boss and see how it goes. He's more interested in Kendall Jenner's scandal right now, so this had better be worth it. We received a tip she'll be visiting today, but let's see how this one goes.”I shrugged. It wasn't like I cared about some celebrity. All I wanted was to force Lara into a corner and make her depend on me even more.I grabbed my coffee cup and took

Dealt With (1)

RIAI paced to and fro, biting my nails as I stared at the door.He should be here by now.I lifted my wrist to check my watch and saw that it was already past 10 p.m. Gerald had called me a few hours ago to tell me the good news—that I was coming home and wouldn't be staying in that psychiatric hospital anymore.Even staying there for only two days felt as though I'd been there for a very long time. The mere thought of that place sent dread crawling down my spine.“I'll be a good wife to him from now on. I'll make sure I never direct my anger toward him again. Instead, I'll direct it toward... Lara.” I clenched my fists tightly. “Gerald must have suffered so much humiliation working for her every day. I can't believe that instead of making him feel safe at home, I kept adding more problems for him.”Even I wouldn't tolerate my own behavior.A soft sigh left my lips. Suddenly, the sound of a car engine entering the compound broke the silence, and I ran toward the door. Looking through

I Like The New Change.

GERALD“No, I won't be accepting any interview from you. Good day.”I lowered my phone and hung up on the unknown number from a news company whose name I didn't even remember. It had been days, and all I'd been getting were calls from them. They were starting to frustrate me. The only person I wanted a call from was Lara. Over the past few days, her company had suffered a lot, and she hadn't shown herself in public anymore.I gripped my hair tightly, feeling the grease on my palm. I'd locked myself indoors, pretending to be working, while in truth, all I'd done was neglect myself so I'd look terrible if anyone saw me in public.Also... it was to make Ria stay away from me. I didn't think I'd be able to stop myself from yelling at her if she ever showed her face to me.‘You should feel guilty for deceiving her,’ my inner conscience poked at me, and my eyes flew open, staring at the half-empty bottle of water lying between my legs on the floor.“Guilt?” I whispered, a sickening smile st

So Cute!

LARAHow is this happening?I gripped my hair tightly, staring at the drop in sales shown in my company's report.Gerald played me. I got fooled by him. But how did he get into the Govball? Even Bryan wasn't invited and was instead asked by Claire to go in her place."This is so humiliating."I covered my face, my body shaking profusely with shame.How did I end up this way? God!A knock came at the door, and I lifted my head to see Bryan standing by the open doorway with a tray of food in his hands. My stomach growled as the aroma reached my nose.I had been inside this place for days and hadn't taken a single bite, my mind constantly replaying how and why all of this happened.This was the worst week ever."How is it going?" Bryan smiled, but his eyes accidentally landed on the tablet in my hand, and his smile faded into a frown. "I told you to stay off the internet, didn't I?"He placed the tray on the bed beside me before grabbing the tablet."Why are you torturing yourself?""It

I Promise

LARAThe ride home was quiet.Bryan drove with one hand on the steering wheel while the other rested casually on the center console. The silence between us wasn't awkward. If anything, it was comforting.I leaned my head against the window, watching the city lights blur past.For the first time in days, I had managed to forget everything.The cheers from the arena. Bryan's ridiculous victory pose. The way he had looked so proud after winning.A small smile found its way onto my lips."You're smiling."I turned toward him."What?""I caught you smiling." Bryan grinned without taking his eyes off the road. "I'm counting that as proof my match was worth watching."I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself.""Ouch." He placed a hand over his chest dramatically. "I fought for my life in there, and this is the appreciation I get?"I couldn't help laughing."You spent more time getting punched than actually fighting."He gasped. "I won!""Barely." I chuckled."I still won."His childish resp

It Can't Be Her

GERALDIt had been fun ever since the new article came out. I sipped my juice through the straw, the cold liquid filling my mouth as I stared at the video of Lara being hounded by the paparazzi over the fraud allegations against her company.I couldn't help the satisfaction that spread through my heart as I watched the terror on her face."Just a little longer, and you'll finally realize your husband's influence is useless." I chuckled, crossing my legs. "You'll come back to me yourself."I continued watching as she went inside. Moments later, the bastard Bryan came out with several security guards, and the crowd was driven away. I grabbed the remote, turned off the TV, and leaned back while sipping my juice."Come to think of it, I haven't heard from him."I slipped my hand into my pocket, took out my phone, scrolled through my contacts, and tapped his number as I stood up."Hello?" His tired voice came through, accompanied by the sound of seagulls. "I told you not to contact me with

Fix It (1)

GERALD“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, raising a brow.I slowly lowered my phone, staring at her as my breathing turned uneven.It can't be her... The thought echoed in my head as I continued looking at her.“Nothing.” I inhaled sharply and turned away. “I have something to take care of.”I headed for the door, and just as my hand wrapped around the doorknob, her carefree voice stopped me.“Don't forget the milk.”I glanced back over my shoulder before walking out of the building. As soon as I got outside, I quickly dialed the reporter's number, but it went straight to voicemail.“Damn it!”I slammed the car door shut and sped out of the compound toward his house. He wouldn't have published that article without telling me. I'd given him all the necessary tips, but I specifically told him not to mention my name.Damn it!I slammed my fist against the steering wheel, blaring the horn at the car in front of me. It finally swerved to the left, allowing me to speed past i
