Vanessa's office.

Shelly, Cole and I had said our goodbyes to Snow who was taking the other car. She was going to be late for school if we didn't let her go. Besides that, we also had to prepare for the office which was supposed to be our most prepared day, because we would be meeting with lots of clients.

We got into the back seat of the car while Shelly decided to sit with the driver. She wanted to keep him company, and according to her, give us some privacy. I was really happy about it, at least, she was not like some nosy friends that Lola had who wanted to know everything about her relationship.

The car drive was long due to traffic, so I placed my head on Cole's shoulders to relax. The driver decided to turn on the radio. However Cole told him to play nice music so we could at least enjoy the car ride.

It took a little while before we were able to get to the office, but when we got there and got out of the car, we were shocked to see the amount of crowd we met there.

    Lola's pov.I had just gotten out of the shower when I saw Sheldon's eyes were so fixed on the TV in the room. It was like he had been in a little trance, and I had to stroll to where he was, taking a seat next to him on the bed."What's going on baby?" I crossed my legs, placing my hands on his chest as I played with it gently. He still didn't give me attention, so I dragged the remote from his hands, and turned off the TV.Hey! I was watching that, what's your problem?" The attitude he gave me caused me to roll my eyes, pouting my lips as I tried to get off his laps. However, he pulled me back, gazing at me with a small smile as his lips grazed my nape.I pushed him aside, still standing up from his laps. I wanted to know what exactly he was watching that took all his attention in such a manner. He was so concentrated on the television which got me worried. I didn't want my man looking at another woman.He moved from where he was dating, coming to hold my waist tightly as he began

    Sheldon's pov I had just gotten out of the hall when a swarm of journalists surrounded me with cameras flashing their light in my face. "Mr Sheldon, Mr Sheldon we want to speak to you about something, please clarify.* I tried to dorge the camera as hard as I could so I was prepared to tell them the story of my life."Mr Sheldon, please…" They blocked the way to my car so I stopped abruptly, staring at them with worry in my eyes."Sir please, we are just here to hear what you know about Vanessa. It was believed that she was your ex, tell us, why did you leave her?" I felt my heart rumbling loudly in my chest, this was in-between my contract and a good status. I didn't know what to do, and no matter how I tried to balance it, Lola's threat was always in my mind. I knew how hard I worked to be where I was today, I wasn't going to risk all that or make it go down the drain, all that was left for me was just to follow lola's orders, then propose to her."Well, Vanessa and I were lovers

    Lola's povI could see the way he wàs shaking like never before, his eyes were staring into mine but his pupils were dilating. I could tell there was something he was keeping away from me."Sheldon? Answer me!" I yelled, veins showing on my head with a clenched jaw. My eyes darted around in panic as well, if he was cheating on me, I was going to leave him. "What is it! Why do you think I'm always cheating on you, hub?!" He yelled back at me, his eyes giving me a warning stare that caused me to shake uncontrollably, why was he yelling at me. Sheldon had never raised his voice at me before, and since this was the first time, I didn't know what to do. I moved backwards, watching how he growled at me like a movie I had never seen before."Common, think what you want! How could I cheat on the woman that satisfies my desires, that knows how to make me hard, that makes me calm out her name in the middle of the night, think about that!" "Any woman can do that to you, Sheldon. Haven't you f

    Vanessa's pov.I couldn't contain the way I cried in my office when I watched the way Sheldon spoke about me. I was such a fool to have trusted him, and now was the time for me to make him pay back for all the things he had down for me. I was so sad that everything had gone like this. I loved Sheldon so much, but look how he repaid me.I knew Lola was the reason why he was doing all this. She was giving him orders, and he was carrying them out because of his love towards her. I was going to make sure I destroyed them. Her father's wealth, and influence was the only reason why he was with her, I was sure of it, and I was going to make all his work go down the drain. I had just logged on the internet so I could begin my work when I saw the news all over social media. I tried to console myself, but how? Why was I the one to suffer like this, all in the name that I love someone? I was trying my best to make sure that things went well, but what was I going to do. The people had made my

The tension was too much, and I was dazed. I didn't believe He would say such a thing to me, hnwas sure it was Zira he was going to leave, but me? What did I ever do to him? Tension filled my mind, and I couldn't help because it felt like there was a lot of pressure on my head."Vanessa, Vanessa?" I could hear my name like I was being called from a dream or trance, and the next thing I knew, I felt a slap on my cheek."Zira!" Cole yelled, grabbing her hands. She was about to hit me again, and that was when he stopped her, he could tell that she was already losing it, like she held a grudge with me before.My eyes turned towards Cole with blurry vision, my throat gulping down the lump that refused to be swallowed. My teeth were gnashed together, and I tightened my jaw so I wouldn't cry , but the moment Cole

    Mary's pov.Clara picked up the remote, and turned off the TV, she didn't want to keep watching what was going on. She had a frown on her face, and then she turned to me like she knew I was the cause of all this."I'm hoping you don't have a hand in this, do you?" My heart made a loud thudding sound when she said those words to me. I had a hand in it, but I couldn't tell her. I couldn't tell her because she might resign, and I don't want that to happen. I was tired of everything, too tired that I just had to shake my head to her unending questions."Look what you've done, you're the reason why all these things are happening right?" I didn't even look at Her, I was so busy planning my next move. Cole's information was what I wanted to hear next. I wanted to see how good that girl could be. She must have been really nice to have been able to do that. She was offered a big sum of money for the job, and a spot in my company if she did what I asked her to do, who wouldn't want such an offe

I asked, rolling my eyes as I jogged through my memory to see if I would recall anyone who was supposed to know me here. The only problem that occurred to my man was that man who I met at the ice-cream shop, but I doubt he would be able to find me. It had been about two days, so why now? Pushing the thought aside, I moved away from Where I was with a thoughtful expression on my face. That was right, I was thinking about who was the person who was looking for me.When I came out of the house, the gatekeeper told me that the person was outside the gate waiting for me, and when I opened the gate, my face turned pale. I couldn't believe my eyes, I screamed, running to hide behind the gatekeeper, my hands were tied around his waist.It was Adrian, and I couldn't understand what he was wearing. He was a police officer. "Leave my house, leave!" I kept yell

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."

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.

    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.

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!
