Third-person Pov

Monique couldn't help but shudder in disgust as she remembered how Cole had just tried to kiss her. She couldn't even imagine how she would have reacted if he had successfully had his way in kissing her.

She was sure she would have slapped him senselessly if he had, thereby ruining her plan to play along with him and make him think that she could ever be interested in him again.

Thankfully she had managed to avoid such a disaster, but now she was worried about Gavin and how he was going to react to the fact that she was coming home much later than she assured him she would.

Unfortunately, she had to turn her phone off when Gavin was calling her repeatedly because she didn't want Cole to suspect that anything was wrong. Now that she was in the car by herself, she turned her phone on again, expecting to see several missed calls and messages from Gavin.

Just like she expected, there were several messages from him, and in most of the messages, he sounded worried ab

    Third-person Pov “He did what?” Gavin asked, his expression shocked and furious at the same time. Monique burst into a loud laugh on seeing his reaction, finding it funny how his facial expression had completely changed. “There's no need to be so upset, Gavin. It didn't happen the way you think,” she said, trying to let him know that it wasn't as bad as it sounded. Gavin scoffed, clearly not buying it. “You just said he tried to kiss you, Monique. That idiot tried to put his lips on you, and you had to tell him you wanted to take things slow to get him to back off? What if he didn't and he tried to forcefully kiss you?” he asked, already seeing how the situation could have gone wrong. Monique rolled her eyes. “We were in public when this happened, and I was about to get into the car, Gavin. There was no way he would have tried to force himself on me while you were in public because he knows how that could go horribly wrong for him,” she responded, wondering why Gavin was being d

    THIRD PERSON POVCole looked at the divorce letter over and over again in satisfaction that he was done with Whitney and close to getting Monique back. He decided to call Monique’s phone to tell her of the good news. She was the first person that came to his mind. He dialed her number waiting for her to answer.She didn’t answer the phone on the first ring. He tried again and did the same thing. Usually, if he was someone he would have given up but it was Monique, and the fact she told him that she’d give him another chance made him believe that indeed he had a chance with her hence the reason he called and called into she finally answered.“Hey baby girl,” he said as soon as Monique answered the call. Monique cringed hard hearing him use an endearment on her.“I already told you not to use an endearment on me, didn’t I?” She reminded him.“Oh pardon me. I’m just used to it. You know you can’t blame me, right? I can’t just call you by your name and won’t cringe and you won’t allow me

    Third-person Pov The tension in the meeting room was almost unbearable as everyone waited for Gavin to arrive. They had all been so surprised when Gavin suddenly called for an emergency board meeting, stating that the purpose of the meeting would only be disclosed during the meeting. Cole had been the most nervous because he didn't understand why Gavin would organize a meeting without at least informing him, the CEO, of why a meeting needed to be held. He already knew that Gavin wasn't just going to sit back and watch him enjoy the position of CEO and majority shareholder, but because he was confident that Gavin would never get anything on him that could possibly remove him from this position, he had decided to just ignore whatever games Gavin would try to play. After waiting for almost half an hour, Gavin would finally arrive at the meeting room, and to everyone's surprise, Monique would be right behind him. Cole would stare back at Monique with a confused look on his face,

    Third-person Pov There was a perfect silence in the room for about ten seconds before everyone erupted and started murmuring to themselves. Cole was completely shocked by what Gavin just said, to the point where he could only stare at Gavin for about thirty long seconds before finally getting himself together. “You do realize that you just made a very serious accusation, right? You're accusing me of being a criminal and of endangering the company's reputation when everyone here knows how hard I have worked to keep this company running,” he said, his anger evident. “That is precisely why it is such a disappointment that you've allowed your greediness to cloud your love for the company, Cole. I may not be your biggest fan, and you and I constantly have disagreements, but I used to always acknowledge that you did a good job with the company,” Gavin said, trying to seem disappointed so it wouldn't be too obvious that he had targeted Cole. “But the fact that you no longer care about

    THIRD PERSON POVWhitney arrived just in time as they took Cole out of the boardroom. She didn’t plan to miss the show but something came up and she had to prioritize it over this as it had to do with getting rid of the evidence that would lead to her foster father's death back to her. Cole glared at her the moment he saw her. Whitney had a proud smile on her face. She was glad to have come in time to see him as he was taken away.“Well, well, well,” Whitney uttered as she walked closer to him.“I’m guessing you have been dismissed isn’t that it?” Whitney clicked her tongue.Cole furrowed his eyebrows as he glared at her. “How the fuck did you know and what the fuck are you doing here?”“Oh darling Cole. You probably know nothing at all. I mean how do I expect you to know anything?”She placed her palm on his shoulder and he shrugged it off. “What did you do?”“What did I do? I did what I had to do and that was making sure that you learned the hard way. What did you take me for anyw

    THIRD PERSON POV“Do you want to join Monique and me for dinner tonight?” Gavin suggested.“What?” Whitney sounded surprised to hear what Gavin said. She didn’t expect him to ask her to join him and Monique for dinner. She didn’t expect him to accept to celebrate with her either. “Yes. You heard me right. I want you to join Monique and me for dinner this evening. We are planning to celebrate after all we took Cole down and it was all because of you?” He said to her.Whitney tried to digest all that he had just said and it was only after then that she snapped out of it. “Wow. I didn’t expect you to accept that though but it’s nice,” she said.“Alright then. We shall see later tonight. 8 pm and my place,” he said.The skin between Whitney’s brows creased. She found it suspicious that he would accept to celebrate with her and now she found it more suspicious that he invited her over at his place.She tried to think positively about his invitation but she just couldn’t because why was h

    Third-person Pov Whitney knew that this was her biggest chance to date, and she wasn't about to let go of such an opportunity with Gavin. He had dropped her off in her hotel room, even going as far as carrying her on his back and taking her to the room directly. "Are you okay?” he asked, wearing a concerned look on his face that pleased Whitney.She liked how he seemed genuinely concerned about her, and she also liked the fact that she was getting closer to what she wanted. “Yeah, I'm alright. My ankle still hurts a lot, but thanks to your kindness, I won't have to deal with that much pain when I wake up tomorrow,” she responded.Gavin nodded. “That's good to hear. Now that you're feeling better, I guess it's time for me to leave. I wouldn't want Monique to feel uncomfortable, so it's best that I leave now and you and I can talk later,” he said, preparing to escape from here. It wasn't until they arrived at the hotel that he realized how much of a bad idea it was for him to bri

    Third-person Pov “Con artist Jennifer Cabello has finally been caught after years of escaping the authorities. She has a record of drugging, manipulating, and stealing from men, as well as marrying them, and faking abuse in order to get divorce settlements. She was also discovered to be the murderer of her foster father, Robin Owen, as well as being involved in a drug-related business,” the newscaster went on, and Monique watched with a satisfied smile on her face. It's been a few days since Whitney was arrested, and as soon as she heard the news of her arrest, she hasn't stopped smiling. She couldn't believe that the person who almost ruined her life, as well as the lives of many other people, had finally been brought to justice, and she couldn't wait to hear what sentence Whitney was going to be given.

    Third-person POV Whitney was nervous, but she tried not to show how nervous she was, especially since she was going to be dealing with gang members, and she couldn't afford to let them know she was a novice. She wasn't about to give them the privilege of walking all over her, so she maintained a bold look on her face, and was very much ready to meet with them, close the deal and be on her way. She had been waiting for about half an hour now, and it was already late into the night.“Why the hell are they not coming?” she wondered out loud as her impatience grew. She typically wasn't a very patient person, and because of how dangerous what she was about to do was, she needed them to get here as soon as possible so that she can get this over with. After waiting for another five minutes, she would spot a thug like man walking toward her, and immediately think to herself that it had to be one of the gang members. “Whitney?” he asked when he finally approached her, and she couldn't h

    THIRD PERSON POV“Are you certain that if you see the face of the person you can tell?” The police officer asked the elderly man who claims to have seen someone visit the late Mr. Robin before he died.“Yes, I am certain. That day a lady came by the house. I was taking a stroll around that street. The street is usually quiet because nobody lives there. That cottage is the only cottage there and each time I took a stroll there, I never saw anyone so I was surprised to see a young pretty lady.” The man revealed. He continued with his statements, “I didn’t see her face at first until she turned to look around before entering the house.”“It was during the day that she entered the cottage but at midnight, I saw that lady leaving the cottage and you might be wondering what I was doing there so I will tell you,” he said to the officers before they questioned him any further.“As an old man, I take a stroll a lot of the time because of my legs.

    Whitney's Pov I was seriously running out of money, and it was making me anxious. I had spent way too long at the hotel, as well as spending a lot of money there, but after the stunt I pulled in Gavin's house, I really checked out of the hotel and came to a much cheaper one. I couldn't remember the last time I stayed in such a cheap hotel, but because I didn't have any more money to spluuch and I also needed to remain low-key for a while, I had no other choice but to forcefully enjoy my stay here. I still hadn't heard any news on what happened in the house, but I was desperately hoping that I would hear about Monique's death because that was the only thing that could make me happy. I desperately needed to hear that she was paying for mocking me and that Gavin was whiling away in his misery for daring to make a fool of me. I had a television on for that reason, and I also kept scrolling and scrolling on the internet to see if the news would come up. It had been almost a da

    Third-person Pov Despite everything, Monique still could not believe what she had just experienced. It all still felt like a dream to her, and she was waiting for someone to wake her up from this horrible nightmare that she just had. If there was one thing she had avoided all her life, it was getting involved in any situation that could lead to a fire. She was always extra careful when it came to anything that could cause a fire, so the fact that she experienced being in a fire again after trying so hard to avoid it all her life made her feel like she was losing her mind. It also reminded her of everything that she had gone through in her childhood, starting from how she would have died in the fire that her father started if her mother hadn't protected her and how a fire was what ended her mother's life. It had all come rushing back to her in that moment, and now that she was out of danger, she couldn't remember the fear she had felt while it was happening and how it had resur

She had six hours before the said time but she had something else going on in her mind.“I think it’s best I do this now before going over there,” she said to herself.As much as she wanted to relax and wait for some other time, for some reason, she felt now was the perfect time for her to do what she wanted. “Do it. Don’t do it. Do it. Don’t do it.” She chanted until she decided to do what it was that she had in mind because she knew that she wouldn’t be able to get it off her mind if she didn't do it.She changed into an entirely different outfit that consisted of a short and white polo shirt. She put some kerosene in a small container. She put on a blackface cap before leaving the hotel room.She didn’t have any makeup on as she wanted her disguise to be so perfect.

I am not one to lose and Gavin chose the wrong person to mess with.” Whitney muttered to herself as she watched Gavin and Monique walk away look so happyShe clenched her fist with a frown on her face as knots in her stomach tightened. It hurts so much that she feels this way. She didn’t expect any of this to happen. When she did what she did for him, she expected to have a but it seems Gavin wouldn’t give her that and she refused to lose.She had lost everything as it was and even if she had to do the worst of it all to get what she wanted then she’d do it and if she could not get what she wanted then nobody would get what they wanted.With that thought in her, she walked away with so much in her mind.

    Whitney's Pov I was in my car, waiting outside Gavin Jones's estate to see if at any point he would come out of the house.I had tried calling him a few more times, but it seemed like he had completely blocked my number, which made absolutely no sense, and it annoyed me in ways that I couldn't even begin to describe. I wanted to see if I would run into him by chance, so I was waiting for him and hoping that he would come out of the house so that I would pretentiously run into him and ask him why he was avoiding me after I helped him. After waiting for almost two hours and wondering if I should give up or not, I finally spotted a car driving out of the estate. I couldn't see who was behind the car, but seeing how one of the security guards bowed, I concluded that it had to be Gavin and no one else. My curiosity getting the better of me, I followed behind the car and drove behind it for about an hour until the car finally stopped in front of a spa that I recognized. When I realize

He could immediately tell that his mother had gotten uncomfortable seeing that his father had suddenly shown up, and the last thing he wanted was for his mother to be uncomfortable. “What is it, Gavin? Can't I come here to see my ex-wife after she finally recovered from her stroke? Am I in the wrong for coming to pay her a visit?” Gabriel Jones questioned, wearing an amused look on his face that only pissed Gavin off even more.He turned to look at his mother and Monique, who were both staring back and forth at them with confused looks on their faces as well. “Mon, could you please escort my mother to her bedroom and keep her there until I'm done escorting this man out of the house?” he requested.Gabriel scoffed. “I didn't come here to see you, and I'm definitely not going to be escorted out of here without speak
