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,
Clara's pov.I recalled when I saw him playing video games with the lady I thought he was having an affair with, and I instantly turned red. My eyes watched him with anger, and I couldn't believe that, and I instantly went to where the plug was, unplugging it while I glared at him."What is going on here?" My hands were crossed and my chest, my eyes not even blinking because I was too busy analysing the situation."Baby, you ruined the game." My heart sank when I heard that, and played with my lips with my tongue in anger. "So I'm the problem now, right?" I shook my head, holding back the tears that were about to till down my eyes.This wasn't the first time I had seen him smiling with this lady. Sometimes, even when I brought him food to his office, I saw him laughing.There was a day I wanted to go see him in the office, and I had been trying his number, but it wasn't going through. However, when I got to the office, I found out he was having lunch with her, and I wasn't included b
Adrian's pov.I agree I messed up a couple of times, but she left me without a good explanation. How was I supposed to know spending some time with my friend made her feel bad? "Clara, listen to me, I can't leave you. I love you so much that it hurts." The way I said it made her look at me with love, but then it suddenly changed into a death glare. I wished she could understand what I was going through, but the truth was that I couldn't understand it. She was right, I was the one at fault. She had told me a couple of times that I made my best friend look like my girlfriend, but I didn't take her words to heart."Please, don't do what your emotion wants, forgive me baby,please…" I begged because I really wanted to be with her.When she left last night, I didn't come out of my room, and when my friend came in to look for me, I pushed her out of my house in anger. It was a good thing she understood the reason for my anger."Baby, I'm not going to leave here until you are able to forgi
Zira's pov.I woke up to find myself in the hospital, my eyes still feeling dizzy, and when I turned my head to the left, I saw the man from the office earlier. He looked really happy to see me awake, and he rushed out of the hospital to call the doctors I guess.When he returned back, he moved to where I was, and I was forced to start a conversation with him."What's happened?" I asked, and then he paused, his eyes watching me with sad looks. He told me the doctor said I had been stressing myself way too much.I nodded my head slowly, closing my eyes to prevent the loud bang that echoed in my head. It wasn't something I wanted anyone to experience, but at the same time, I was trying my best to make sure that everything I got was food on my table."You're not really rich, are you?" My eyes widened when I heard what he said, and my eyes that looked at him instantly turned dark. I didn't even want to talk to anyone about it, but how did he find out?So many questions buzzed through my m
Sheldon's pov.I packed my luggage with worry in my face. Never have I thought that this would actually come. Cole invited me for a night out with the boys, alongside other young CEOs. It was very strange thinking about the fact that we were enemies. There was no way that I wouldn't suspect a thing. There was something about Cole. We were sworn enemies because I was trying to take over, so I didn't see a reason why he would invite me over to a party. We weren't even friends.Just then, my phone buzzed, and my attention was drawn to it, making me leave what I was doing as I moved to pick it up. It was Lola calling, and she was probably missing me. I clicked my tongue, sighing as I massaged my temples. She was really annoying when it came to making me feel like a child.I cleared my throat, "Hello…" my lips pressed together for a while when I noticed that she was being silent for no reason. My eyes darted around, and I got really scared about what was going on.She was only silent whe
Cole's pov.I smiled when I saw what the day was. It was finally time for Vanessa, and I to get our revenge. She was in my room helping me with my collar. She smiled at me, and I could tell that she was happy about what we were about to do.She agreed to spend the weekend with snow so I would be able to get the plan ready."Baby, isn't this great, we're finally going to get our revenge, I'm happy about it." She called me baby, and it made me feel over the moon. I smiled, trying so I could face her as my hands grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to me.She gasped at the unexpected pull, her eyes staring into mine as our breath fanned each other's faces. "Vanessa, it's been a long time since I touched you." There was a need in my voice, and despite the fact that I had dressed, I still needed to have her before I went on a two day weekend without her."I love you so much." I captured her lips in a romantic kiss, but before I could go any further, I was interrupted by my little angel,
Zira's pov.I had received thousands of calls, and voicemails from Mary, but had refused to talk to her. I was too scared to. Besides, I was just discharged from hospital a day ago, and immediately I was discharged, I was taken away to Cole's manager's house."Are you seriously going to keep calling me Cole's manager?" He asked during our drive back home. I was so nervous, my eyes not daring to be raised. So in order to distract myself I played with my fingers on my laps while I watched them like some kind of entertainment.He laughed out loud, his eyes stealing a glance of me before going back to the road. He told me he had noticed my phone ringing a lot, and when he asked me if it was the person I worked for that was calling, I could only slowly nod my head. There was no way I trusted this man. I had been let down by lots of men, and this was the first man who had not flipped. "Don't be so sure, you don't even know him well yet. Besides, you still have to go stay in his house. Yo
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!
