Friendly reminder.Zara’s heart bubbled with hatred for Asher. She watched him walk away from the conference room, and as the sound of his footsteps faded into the distance, her heart grew colder and angrier. He should be in here with her, trying to come up with ways, strategies, anything to save the company. But he had walked away? He saw her in here and decided to walk the fuck away? The nerve of that man. The magnitude of what Asher had left her to do was almost overwhelming, and a small part of Zara wanted to just break down in tears and cry out all of the suffocating feeling in her chest. But she did not. Instead, she took a deep breath, steadied herself mentally and physically, before she started the meeting. “Ladies and gentlemen. I would like to start this meeting with an apology. My husband and I seemed to have lost control of our senses for a moment, and we made a terrible mistake. We allowed our per

Nicole was crazily nervous about going back to work once the weekend ended. Her heart continued to palpitate in her chest despite all of her efforts to remain calm.What if news had somehow spread and Marcus had managed to tell horrible lies about her? What if, once she got to work, everything turned into the familiar nightmare of whispers and harsh, undeserving glares just like it happened back in the main company?Worse, what if Marcus had somehow managed to sweet talk or charm his way out of the police station? Even if she fires him, which was within her jurisdiction to do, Nicole knew that she would not be able to avoid him.As if William could hear her thoughts, he stopped buttoning his shirt and gently grabbed her shoulders instead.“Look at me, baby,” he said softly. Nicole met his gaze with a sigh. “Good girl. Now repeat after me. I have nothing to worry about.”Nicole rolled her eyes at his instructi

Do you love me?

Do you love me?Trisha didn't tell Asher about the call she got from Zara.She had intentionally picked the call in order to make Zara a little bit jealous and maybe make her anxious about her husband being with another woman, but Zara had sounded so completely chill. Like it didn't matter to her anymore. Like she had a plan. And from her last words about the friendly reminder or whatnot, Trisha was sure that Zara was planning something. She ought to be. From the way she was so calm on the call last night, that was the only logical explanation. Zara had a plan, and the thought made Trisha’s blood hot. Resolve tightened in her chest, and as dawn broke through the sky, as the first rays of the sun filtered into the bedroom, Trisha made up her mind. If Zara had a plan to take Asher back, then Trisha had to stop her. It was only rational for Asher to remain with the woman who made him feel at peace the most, t

Emergency!

“Did you do it?” William asked his brother as soon as Wilson walked in. Wilson raised his eyebrows at his tense twin, but said nothing. Instead, he sat down and took a long sip of his coffee before he responded. “William, you do realise that I have been running around all weekend because of you, right? The least you can do is let me have my coffee in peace before asking me any question.”William ran a hand through his hair sheepishly. “You are right. I am so sorry. I don’t know why I am this tense. I just… Nicole was so scared this morning on her way to work. She was so anxious and I hated it. So I just need to know that that bastard has been put away. My baby needs some good news to cheer her up.”Wilson shook his head. “People in love are so annoying,” he muttered, audible enough for his brother to hear, before he leaned back on his chair. “Sit down, take a sip of my coffee and calm down. Then I will talk.” William was high strung wi

The drive

Nicole waited for William to call her. He didn't. The day at work passed uneventfully, and there was no issue at all. Nobody seemed to know what happened with Marcus and all that unpleasant stuff, and Nicole was glad. Her nerves finally calmed, and her racing heart eased back into its normal rhythm as she worked. William had called her when he got back to the main company that he was no longer on the road, and that he was going to call her later. But it was already the end of work hours, and he still had not called her. It was not entirely unusual, because Nicole knew that things might be busy for him at work. So she refused to panic or stress about it. Instead, she sent him a short text before she left her office, telling him to call her or let her know when she can call. By the time Nicole got home, William still hadn't called her or responded to her text. She took a bath and prepared dinner, glancing at her pho

Backstabbed

Zara looked up with surprise when Asher knocked on the bedroom door and walked in. She hadn't heard him come in, and had no idea how long he had been in the house. He had been gone for about two weeks since the company incident, and Asher had not made even the tiniest effort to reach out to her. Zara said nothing as he walked towards her, his face clean shaven and betraying nothing of his thoughts. He looked well rested, and there was no sign that anything had been wrong with him for the past few days. “Hi, love,” he started as he stopped at the edge of the bed. Zara cocked her head to the side and refused to speak. What the hell was she supposed to say? What the hell was he expecting her to say?That she was mad at him for leaving her high and dry? That she hated him for consistently cheating on her with a woman she knew? That she…Before she could finish her train of thought though, Asher moved. To Zara
