Richard's POVBeing in the room with so many influential people, who seemed more interested in networking than genuinely celebrating, left me feeling disenchanted. As the party wore on, my enthusiasm waned, until a familiar figure caught my eye across the room. She stood out effortlessly, exuding elegance and grace. I couldn't help but smile as I noticed she was wearing the dress I had carefully chosen for her. Its subtle yet alluring design perfectly complemented her figure and enhanced her natural beauty.Caught in a moment of admiration, I barely noticed her gaze searching the room until it finally settled on me. Her eyes sparkled with recognition, and a hint of something more as she made her way through the crowd towards me. However, my heart sank as I realized she had seen me with Sarah, our arms entwined in casual conversation. “Welcome. I thought you weren't going to come again," I said, ignoring how my body was reacting towards her."Well, here I am, Wouldn't want to disappoi

As I hailed a cab and headed home, the evening's events replayed in my mind. Arriving home, I took a long, hot bath, attempting to wash away the lingering feelings of anger and frustration. Climbing into bed, I checked my phone, half expecting to find a message from Richard asking if I had arrived safely. But there was nothing. Then I remembered we hadn't exchanged numbers. He really is something, I thought bitterly, before exhaustion finally claimed me and I drifted off to sleep, feeling both hurt and angry The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, the events of the previous night fading into the background as I checked my phone. To my surprise, there was a message from Richard. How did he get my contact? I wondered briefly before eagerly opening the message, hoping he had reached out to ask how I got home yesterday. But instead, I read, 'Party at 8pm today. Don't be late.’ I rolled my eyes at his presumptuousness and went to start my day. Arriving at my father's company, I de

Helen's POVAs we stood in the registry, surrounded by the buzz of newlyweds, my mind raced with memories I thought long buried. I never imagined myself back in this situation after swearing off marriage five years ago. But here I stood, about to commit to it once more.Finally, it was our turn, and we were ushered into the room. The reality of the moment hit me like a ton of bricks. I exchanged vows, signed papers, and as we exited the registry, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease, and besides I've been emotionally drained since I came out of the police station."I think I'd like to go my own way from here. Thank you for today," I said after we came out the registry. "But I brought you here; it's only right I take you back home," he replied, a hint of confusion in his voice.“It's fine. No need for such formalities” I replied feeling drained and just wanted to lie down somewhere and rest""I have a place I want to go. Will you come with me?" Richard's unexpected invitation caught

Helen's POV As I sat amidst the shareholders, my hands betrayed my composure with nervous sweat, and my heart pounded as I awaited their response to my proposal for the presidency. Murmurs filled the air yet I remained composed. “How could you propose this? We gave you an ultimatum to find investors or sell the company. And here you are, vying for the president's position,” Mr. Steve, one of the biggest shareholders, questioned with an accusing tone. “It's true I was given an ultimatum, and I'm still working on convincing the investors. You guys should give me time” “Time? Time is not on our side, Ms. Helen. The company is no longer what it used to be. If you had signed when you were told to, five years ago, for the company to be sold, then all these problems wouldn't have surfaced. We need funds, and we need them ASAP. If you can't provide it, then you have no choice but to sign for the company to be sold," Mrs Johnson declared, her words hanging heavily in the air. “I'm very su

“What did you just say?” I inquired, arching my brows."I understand it's overwhelming, and it may seem absurd, but we're mutually beneficial. Your company needs a revival, and my family is relentless about me finding a wife. No strings attached." He said“Now, that's just crazy"“Maybe I'm crazy for you. Your attempt to deter my interest with that 'ugly' attire failed, Ms. Helen. I must admit, I find myself intrigued."I sighed, feeling a bit embarrassed that he caught up with the attempts to hide behind the unflattering jacket I had put on.He grinned and leaned closer "Come on, don't be so hard on yourself. If anything, that jacket can't hide the fact that there's something intriguing about you, Ms. Helen.""What! You must be crazy!" I exclaimed.He grinned mischievously and leaned closer, his breath lingering in the air. "What are you doing?" I asked, suddenly feeling a warmth creeping up."Doing what craziness means—showing you how crazy people behave," he replied, smirking wit

I stood there, utterly bewildered.“What do you mean, murder of Williams? She woke up yesterday, So tell me how someone like that could have killed someone three days ago ” Rose vehemently argued with the detectives.“Three days ago, were you with her the entire time? If you are not, then I would advise you not to say anything else,” one of the detectives sternly warned.Initially, Rose managed to convey that she was with me until they inquired about the period I left her house, but she didn't follow me. Strangely, I wasn't shaken by the accusations. Instead, I grappled with the incomprehensible reality of Williams' death. Who could have taken away my Williams?Sure, he may have caused me pain, but he was still the love of my life—the only man I've ever loved. Speech eluded me. Williams is gone. I couldn't wrap my mind around it. Why didn't I hear about his death in the hospital? Oh, Rose! She shielded me from the news since yesterday. Rose must have known. No wonder she's been acting
