Ding dong.The doorbell rang, and even when I didn't want to stand up, Shelly made me go there."Whose that?" My jaw dropped at the number of bouquets he yelled in his hands and some of them that were arranged on the ground."Cole!" I yelled in surprise as I gazed around to make sure no one was outside before pulling him inside the house."What's wrong with you?" I inquired as I dragged him to the sofa."I love you. You didn't give me a response, and you didn't say anything about you coming back to the job, so I decided to follow you back home." I frowned at his words, but that didn't mean the butterflies in my stomach weren't flying around."Come back to the job even if you don't love me, at least return because I can't live without seeing your face." I was taken aback by his words, and what shocked me the most was when he gripped my hand and raised it to his lips, leaving a faint kiss on it."Umm, I will be going out now." Shelly cleared her throat to get both our attention.I can'

Vanessa's povI laid down on the bed, my eyes faced the ceiling as I thought about what Shelly said. She was right, I was playing hard to get with Cole when I couldn't stop thinking about him."Hmmm," I heaved a sigh of frustration before turning to the side. I was finding it hard to sleep because he was wandering through my mind like a lost adventurer wanting to be found."Get out of my head Cole!" I spoke in between gritted teeths, trying to catch some sleep."I love you," his words sounded in my head, causing me to sign in love. I didn't know why I fell head over heels despite his wicked acts towards me. He did lots of things to warrant me not falling for him but I couldn't just forget about that one night."I wish you could understand how I'm feeling but I can't tell you I love you because you might end up hurting me just like Sheldon did," I wasn't ready for that right now, I needed to take my revenge on Sheldon for everything he had ever done to me and to Cole. I wasn't going to

I swiftly turned back to meet his playful smirk. He was gazing at me with one brow raised. I didn't know what else to do so I decided to tease him back. I wasn't going to back down from the challenge."Yeah, I'm a clown but you're actually my bodyguard," I walked three steps and our face almost touched."Bodyguard?" He raised his brow, pulling me closer so our lips almost touched."Don't you think that's unfair? I dressed more professionally than you," he said, eyeing me from head to toe."Of course, you were unfair to me too," I replied, trying to escape his hold but I couldn't because of how firm he held me."Are you scared of me touching you?" He asked, his breath fanning my face causing me to smile."I'm not scared of you touching me," I responded with my eyebrows fused into a frown. I didn't want him thinking he got me wrapped around his fingers."Don't you know that we shouldn't be doing this in the office?" I raised my brow, allowing my hands to play with the buttons on his che

I peeked out through the window all through the journey so I could focus on something else. I tried to remove my hand from Cole's, but he held it tightly like he wanted us to hold hands till the journey ended.I sighed, not knowing what to do. Being close to him was making me uncomfortable. He was trying to make me fall in love with him, something I didn't want to happen."Vanessa," he called, pulling my mind back to reality. I had drifted into different thoughts in such a small period of time."Sir," one glare from him, and I was forced to answer him by saying his name."Yes, Cole," I responded, still not feeling comfortable."Why are you absent minded, I thought you were glad to see her. Why did you change your mind," "I didn't change my mind, I just couldn't um…" I ran out of words. I couldn't say the reason why I was scared was because he was holding hands with me, so I made up something else."I'm just thinking about work," "Is that how much you miss your work or it's me who's

I got into the car, my heart pounding. I had already fallen in love with Cole, but I didn't know why he got me that cute white lamb. What was he trying to tell me? "Why did you get me that white lamb?" I asked the moment he got into the car."Why did you get me that leopard?" He asked back with a smirk on his face."The same reason you got me the white lamb," I replied, staring into his eyes like we were in a staring contest."Good, you got your answer," "Huh?" My brows furrowed, trying to understand what he meant. He had succeeded in confusing me. "Don't worry, I'm sure we wouldn't need them," he replied with a grin on his face."Are you sure about that?" A teasing smile rested on my lips."We'll find out." The conversation was fun even when it was pointless. Cole was a man who knew how to reach my interest and knew how to make me smile with less effort."So what do you have planned out for Snow?" Hw tilted his head, looking at me with a creased line appearing on his forehead, s

"Panic attack," I muttered back, staring blankly into his eyes like I didn't understand what he was saying, "What did he mean by panic attack?" I questioned myself inwardly, squeezing the pillow I had picked up from the bed."Do you get nervous around me? What are your thoughts when you're with me?" He asked. I gulped loudly when I heard him ask that question, and my heart totally stopped beating when he held my chin, raising my head so I could look at him."Are you afraid of me?" I was shaking inside of me, my lips parted, but there were no words from me. I leaked my dried up lips, not knowing what to do at this moment, I didn't know if I could tell him the truth."I'm–" "Daddy, I'm back!" His daughter snow barged into the room, catching it in a very awkward situation. "Oh, yes dear," he quickly left my chin, and I was finally able to breathe properly again."Daddy, why were you holding butterfly?" He turned her head sideways before coming to join us on the bed. "Is butterfly si

Cole looked like he was feeling on top of the world. I guessed that it was because he was in the middle of the two women he loved the most."What movie are we watching, Daddy?" Snow inquired, munching on the popcorn she had picked up from the tray beside her.Yes, there were two food trains in the room. One was beside me and the other beside Snow."Yes, what are we watching?" I asked, picking up a lollipop from the tray."How about you guys find out by yourselves. I'm not telling you what we're watching," he replied, using the remote to operate the flat screen TV."Daddy, be quick," Snow said, urging him to be fast because she couldn't wait to watch the movie.Cole chuckled, pressing the okay button, which enabled the movie to start."Yey!" Snow inched closer to her father, who in turn, inched closer to me. His hands moved, causing my eyes to widen when they caught mine."Cole," I called in a whisper without moving my lips, and even when he knew why I called, he paid deaf ears to me a

Lola's pov."Where is the fuck is she?" I questioned myself, looking through the files on my desk. I had a date with Sheldon in ten minutes at his place, and she was the reason I hadn't gone yet."Shelly!" I screamed, veins showing on my neck. She was beginning to step on my toes. "Shelly!" "Yes, ma'am." She rushed into my office, breathing like a pig."Where are the files I asked for? Do you want to lose your job like that pathetic Vanessa?" "No, ma'am," she replied, and even when she tried to be professional, I noticed she was frowning."Be sure to be here until the closing hours, okay?" "Yes, ma'am." I pulled the file off her hands and placed it on the desk. "I'm going for a date with my love. Please, do not come into my office and also find something reasonable to do. Our clients shouldn't complain about our services. Is that clear?""Yes, ma'am." She was obedient because she had no choice. She knew I wouldn't waste time firing her just by snapping my fingers."Good, I'm off

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."

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?"

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?"

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.

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!
