Vanessa's pov.I was at the back of the car, my lips squeezed to the side as the car moved. Zira made today the worst day of my life, and I hated the fact that Cole was actually not listening to me at this point."Cole, you should drop me here, my driver would come pick me up right now. He had been trailing you." Zira, who had been checking her phone, spoke to Cole. It was good that she was going to leave sooner because Cole, and I had something important to talk about."Are you sure about that?" Cole asked, making my heart thud loudly in my chest. Why was he caring about what she wanted? She had just told him that she wanted to drop down here."Um Cole, I think you should listen to Zira, she's a very busy woman." "Yeah, Vanessa is right." She surprisingly supported me, and I couldn't help but think this was one of her tricks. I had faced enough for one day. I had tried my best to be able to understand what was doing, but right now, he was acting crazy. He was supposed to care for me
Cole's pov."What?" My ears couldn't believe what they had just heard, she must be bluffing about what she said because I knew that she would never say such to me."You're in love with Zira, admit it already!" She yelled at my face when I showed her no signs of leaving her house.I could only use my hands to massage my temples, not believing what she had just said to me. If only she knew that I loved her so much, just her."I'm also leaving the company, I can't stand her anymore!" My eyes widened, raising up to meet her gaze as I moved closer to her. She couldn't do that, she was supposed to be my love, and was supposed to stand by me."What are you saying?" "What should have been said from the day I got slapped, Cole, can't you see?" That was when I had gotten enough. She was jealous, and I hated the fact that she was saying all these in my face. I was trying my best to get along with her, and she was…"Are you jealous?" I grabbed both their shoulders, planting kisses as I turned
Lola's pov.I sat down with Sheldon by my side, watching a romantic movie when we heard a knock on the door.His eyes turned towards me, wondering if I was expecting anyone, but the truth was I wasn't expecting anyone.Maybe it's the maids?" He asked me, causing me to frown. I wasn't really happy about it, and I was going to make anyone who interrupted my time with the love of my life will pay dearly."What are you planning to do?" He asked with a raised brow, watching as I rushed down from the bed with a serious look on my face.My forehead was filled with Creased lines, and my teeth were clenched together when I moved towards the door.When I got to the door, my hands grabbed the knob, and when I pulled it open, and I was about to scream, I stopped when I saw the person that was standing there in front of me, and I could only rush to hug him."Dad!" I yelled, gasping in excitement. I was really happy, but then, I had to look at the watch on my hand to check the time."Darling, I cam
Mary's pov.I sat down on the workdesk in my room, doing some work on my computer with smiles embedded on my face. With Cole's support, my company had grown so well, and I couldn't help, but celebrate. It was nice that using Zira gave me many opportunities including, making Vanessa's life a mess.Speaking of messes, i was expecting a call from her to at tell me how the day went. It was really boring to work all at, and the nights as well, that's why I didn't hesitate to catch up on the details. Clara was too busy with Adrian, and they were now in a relationship, so she spent most of her time at his place, and we hardly even speak."Ring, ring." My phone buzzed, making me leave the work I was doing as I glanced at the phone to see who it was. When I saw it was Zira, I totally abandoned my work, moving away from the desk to my comfortable bed that I had missed so much."Good evening boss," she greeted, and from the way she spoke, I had a feeling it was good news. My grin widened, sprea
Mary's povMy eyes were red with anger, my lips pressed against each other when he told her that he was the one who owned a larger share of the company, and so, my friend could sit with him.I felt stabbed, and she turned to look at me, begging me with her eyes if she could sit with him.I turned my head away like I didn't see her, and just then, she said something that made me leap for joy."Can Mary sit with us?" Cole remained jn thought for a little while, and when he saw that she wasn't going to sit until I was going to be there, he nodded his head."Okay, I'll get us a little something. Mary stays here. Give me a moment, okay?" Cole nodded with a smile, and just when I thought this was my time to have a moment with him, I saw his eyes trailing her. I knew that look, he was mesmerised with my friend at the first glance."Um, Mr Cole, would you come here often?" I was really excited that I finally got his attention because as soon as I called his name, his line of sight returned to
Mary's pov.Recalling all those times caused tears to form in my eyes, and no matter how I blinked them away, I just couldn't hold myself back from crying. It's been so long that I wished to have Cole to myself. I've been wishing for his love, wanting his love every moment, and everyday, but it seemed like nothing was working at this point.He pushed fms out of his house that day, throwing out my luggages as well while the servants helped me pack them to the car, and to my face he told everyone that I was no longer welcome to the house.I felt the pain of being rejected, not just to myself, but in front of everyone. How could he do this to me? I glared at him one more time, and with tears in my eyes, I moved closer to where he stood."She's dead! And you know what, she knew I loved you that's why she sent you to come ask for my forgiveness!"Our breath fanned each other's faces, yet the cold gaze he gave me was something I could never recover from. Up till now, I could still feel h
Zira's povI went to Cole's company with my assistant, only to meet with Cole's secretary. "How are you doing,ma'am?" She managed to smile, causing me to smile as well. It was good to know that they are still sane people in the world. She was Vanessa's friend, yet she gave me the respect I deserved. "I'm fine, and you. How's the boss, is he in?" My eyes were fixed on her, and I couldn't help but smile at the way things were going. The respect I was given was everything I would ever need. This was something I had always wanted, and this game job gave it to me."Yes, he's in," she replied, and I grabbed my bag from off her tab, gesturing for my assistant to come along with me when all of a sudden, she called out to me."What is it!" I spat back, getting annoyed, but I was able to keep my cool again, forming a smile on my lips.She was stopping me from getting his mission done. Besides, I wanted to hear that he fought with Vanessa, that would be the greatest news I'll ever hear today.
Clara's pov.I giggled, my arms on Adrian's neck as I smiled, biting my lips in a seductive manner. Little did I know that things were going to end up like this. The one I once hated is now the love of my life.He was making me feel like a princess. His arms wrapped around my waist while I stared into his eyes that got me mesmerised. Why was he not going to be the one for me?"I love you so much Clara." He whispered into my ears, forcing me to press my legs together. I was really really in love with him, but then, I also needed for him to be able to understand that I need him now.I've been craving him lately, giving him all the body language, and he ignores me like he had never seen me there before."What is it?" He noticed my change of mood, so he carried me in a bridal style, his face staring at mine with love inside of it. I was glad that he loved me, but I wanted him to touch me."I want us to do it, I want you to touch me like never before " "What?!" His eyes widened in shock,
Cole's POVMy head was banging hard, my eyes were filled with tears, my hand were tight on the steering wheel and my foot couldn't lift off the accelerator as I drove to work thinking about the atrocity that had happened between Lola and I. Vanessa wouldn't even pick my calls and she's not even home.How I explain that when she saw I and Lola kissing it wasn't my intention but Lola who kissed me. How is Vanessa ever going to understand and forgive me? Come to think of the fact that she's carrying my unborn child is giving me the chills because she isn't in her right state of mind and this could cause her to try to do something which could affect me herself and the baby.Lola that devil had succeeded in evening out her grudge against Vanessa and now I'm going to deal with this the right way by deleting and canceling out all proposals she's brought to me. I'm not going work or have anything to do with Lola.She's really gonna pay for this dearly , and I'm going to get Vanessa back, all
Vanessa's pov.I had been trying to get my phone plugged in all day, but it seemed like everything was just off. I plugged my phone, and then I was hocked at the number of voice mails I got when I turned it on."Vanessa, it's Cole. Please... I nees you, I just lost my mom, your the only one I can be able to count on, please..." Hearing it, my phone dropped from my hands, and I instantly felt like the whole world was about to crumble."No, no!" I was having a serious headache, but Cole needed me the most now. With that I grab my purse and rushed out of the house halting a cab which was used to get to Cole's house.I never thought I was going to come here anytime soon, but here I was, standing with my eyes watching the gate as I hoped he was going to be fine.When I knocked on the door, the gate keeper opened up, and when so that it was me, he rushed to my side I'm pulling into the house, telling me Cole wasn't all right."I know that, that's why I'm here." I gulped, feeling nervous. I
Cole's pov.The driver questions me about what was happening, but I kept short, instructioning him to drive. Tried calling the only person I knew I could reach out to, but then things didn't go as planned. Her phone was switched off, and I dropped a couple of voice messages just to tell her how I was feeling."Hey Vanessa, I feel really terrible, please come over, please..." I begged with everything that in me, my eyes burning as I dropped the phone in the car after sending the last voice message.My heart was beating hard in my chest, and I saw how she was acting. If only she was by my side, she would know the right words to say to me just to calm me down.Getting home, I rushed to my room, avoiding my daughter who was probably back from school. I didn't even know how to tell her the news, but I knew that I couldn't tell her now. She was. It in the right state of mind now."Please... Mom, don't leave me.." I placed my head on my pillow, and I wept for a little while. My eyes was fil
Cole's pov.It has been days mother had been staying with us, but she was acting very mysterious. At first I thought you was tired from The journey, but after a while, I realise that it was becoming too constant for how to catch a nap. It was unlike mother for her to lay In her room all-day, but I was going to try my best to make sure I found out what was going on no matter what it took.I was in my room, pondering about the whole situation when I decided to go see what was happening. I strolled down the stairs, tired as I moved. It has been a long day since I returned fodm the office, and the fact that Vanessa didn't even speak to me expect in times where she came to hand me files broke my heart deeply."Mom?" I called, and immediately saw something fall out from her hand. She was shocked, and tried to pick it up, but rushed there to meet her.I stared at her suspiciously asking her about what was in her hands when she tried to hide them even more."Mom, what are those?" I tried to a
Vanessa's POVIn order to just clear up my head, I went to the bar to get some shots. It's always gladdens me to drink them because It makes feel that I'm better off on my own, that I don't need any stupid boyfriend like Cole to take me for grantedThe bar wasn't the kind that had so much room or so much drinks because it just a local Bar but it my taste and that was all I needed. Another shot! I yelled to the bartender for another pint of beer. That was my tenth shot if I was really counting right because at this time I was getting a little lightheaded.But, thank Goodness my dear bestie Shelly was there to guide me home in case I pass out. She wasn't quite the kind of person I was but she could tolerate me and my bad habits at least and that's why I cling to her."Vanessa this is too much drink you are taking, you can't kill yourself over estimations you don't really have a base fact to prove, besides he's pleading for your apology-""Who says I wanna kill myself, huh?" I interrupt
Mary's pov.I was in my room, scrolling some videos on my phone when she came out of nowhere. She was looking angry, but then she hid it before getting to where I was.It was Clara. She was sitting there, her eyes darting around in anger, yet she couldn't tell me what the problem was to my face directly. I kept quiet, acting like she was not in the room, and then she finally spoke."You said you've gotten over Cole, why then did you do that to them, huh?" My brows furrowed trying to understand what she was talking about, but then it want just possible, it seemed like there was something wrong with her. What the hell was she talking about?I knew that she didn't know anything about the whole matter, but then she was acting like she did which finally caught my attention."Clara, go straight to the point, what the fuck are you talking about, huh?" I asked, and she was unable to say anything because it all came as a shock to her. She was surprised that I was denying ever having anything
Cole's pov.I had to send Snow to her bedroom. I was meant to go into the bathroom to freshen up before I would go down for breakfast. It was obvious I wasn't going to the office today because I was really tired, and I also needed to find a way to get Vanessa back.Speaking of Vanessa, could it be that mother came back because of her? My eyes widened when I came out of the bathroom. She was here to ruin my relationship with Vanessa just like she did with my first woman.Anger flooded my mind, and I instantly felt like tearing her apart. As a mother she was supposed to support me, not to ruin my relationships with the woman I loved.Thinking of that alone made me really furious, and I felt like storming to her room to ask her questions, but then, what could I possibly ask her.I moved out of my room, and immediately bumped into one of the maids. She was sorry, apologizing almost immediately, but I didn't have time for that. I wasn't to know why she was here."Why are you here?" I stro
Cole's pov.I came back from the engagement looking really tired, my eyes heavy, just like my heart as I moved up the stairs. I was going to see the only person who could make me smile at this moment, my little daughter, Snow, and looking at the time, it was obvious that the servants put her asleep.When I got to the front of her door, I sighed, pushing the door open I was greeted by a sad look on her face. Her window wasn't covered by the cutton, and her lights were still on. I knew the maids weren't the ones who did this. She was just too smart, and might have pretended to sleep just to get the maids out of the place.Pushing that aside, I moved to where she laid in the bed like sleeping beauty, her eyes were closed, and her hands were placed togther under her pillow. She was just so cute.Sitting at the corner of the bed, I exhaled, starting a conversation with her just to tell he how rough my night had been."What's wrong snow, I'm doing all I can to make the relationship work. W
Sheldon's POVI could barely sleep that night, Lola caught me cheating on her. I couldn't believe I was a pawn in Vanessa's chess.How would I have fallen for that trap with Evelyn? I should have known it was sabotaged, and now Lola wants absolutely nothing from me. The disappointment in her eyes were the last and most horrible look I can never forget. The love I have for her hasn't even reduced a bit. I thought about a new apology strategy to get Lola back as I walked to my office. Just as I got to the door to my office, I saw two muscular guys in black coats who stood side by side.“May I help you guys?”They gave me a strong stare with no words as they restricted me from getting into the office. I was beginning to get scared of them because they didn't seem pleasant at all as I tried to get passed them again.“I got some work to do, so if you don't-”The man on the left showed me the left area of his jacket, which revealed a pistol slotted at the waist of his trousers.“God!
