A Little Like Fate 17~ Annoying Clarence
DELIA I blinked my eyes rapidly as I stared at her. She was the girlfriend he told me about. Wow, she was even prettier than I imagined. He sure has good eyes. "Nice to meet you, I'm Delia." I brought out my hand for a shake and she gladly took it. At least, she wasn't as cold as her boyfriend."Nice to meet you too, Delia." She gleamed. We talked for a while about what we loved doing and our jobs and decided to call it a night. We agreed to meet up during the weekend at my place since her boyfriend wouldn't be comfortable having someone else around. Hell yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable around my crush and his girlfriend in their apartment. That would be the weirdest thing to ever happen to me. I had almost forgotten about the Levi incident but when I neared my apartment, the memories came flashing back one after another. I almost cried when I remembered the choking part but I put my shît together and not embarrass myself in front of the driver. After alighting the car, I thanked
A Little Like Fate 18~ Visiting his family
LEVI I looked through the rear mirror and saw Javan's car parked behind mine. About time. I wonder why women take so much time in dressing up. Gosh! Delia walked out of the car and looked toward my car. Javan must have directed her to me. She walked closer in utter confusion and she kept looking back at Javan. 'Oh, now she wanna be security conscious? After taking a ride from a total stranger?' I scoffed mentally and unlocked the door. She pulled the lever and it opened. She entered inside and got comfortable. "Good evening, sir." She greeted but I gave no reply, not even a nod. She didn't look at me and neither did I. I started the car, aiming for my destination. I knew she had lots of questions running through her mind but I wasn't in the mood to entertain any. I kept an uptight expression as we drove together. A few minutes into the drive, I got a call. I checked the caller and it was my meal for tonight. "Hey." She called out happily. "I told you not to call me," I growled.
A Little Like Fate 19~ First night with Sir Levi
LEVIDelia smirked at the last part in which she pronounced 'whore' and her expression was screaming, 'Hit me if you dare.' Mia looked at me and when she didn't get any reaction, she stormed toward the house. "If you can give me more drama like that, trust me when I say I'll add more thousands to your pay. You handled her pretty well, you've been practicing?" I asked. I threw the cigarette away because the last time I smoked in front of her, she nearly choked. Since when did she stop smoking? "Practicing? Why would I practice how to fight or argue with a lady over a man? That's absurd." She laughed nervously. "Seems like it." She went to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in. I did the same. "I read a lot of possessive novels when I was younger. Plus the movies I've seen and I think I've witnessed one crazy scene before."I ignited the car engine and we were on our way back. Instead of taking her back to her apartment, I took her to my house. "Hey, where are you going?
A Little Like Fate 20~ Sweet talk with secretary Ellie
DELIA "Maybe." I sighed. I went back to my work, hoping Levi wouldn't say any more words. I might actually break down if he did. And luckily, he didn't say anything. "Man, imma shove a shovel down this modafucker's arse," I muttered to myself. "What?" Levi asked. Woah, he heard me? It was just then I realized his eyes had been fixed on me. His fingers drummed rhythmically on the table as his cold gaze hovered around me. "Whoever drafted this contract is insane. They only wrote fifty percent profit. The problem with this statement is that it can be anything ranging from total profit to gross profit, and down to net profit." "It wasn't indicated." "Yeah, it wasn't. And if a contract is to be signed with this, it will incur losses as the company in question might choose to pay net profit rather than total profit." I explained. It was the only way I could express myself freely around him. Not that it was good being alone with him. He sighed and threw his head back. Was he thinking?
A Little Like Fate 21~ His ex-girlfriend?
DELIAWork was going smoothly and I was happy because it was almost payday. But one thing still bothered me; my sisters' debt. There was no way I could give them all my salary and hopefully, they've all been keeping busy at home. Especially my dad. He did nothing to help my family but at least he should try to help out the girls he spoilt. I needed Clarence to sign some papers for a financial loan and I didn't want to go to his office myself. Clarence was the type of person that could do anything to anyone and won't feel any remorse. Instead, you might end up in a pleasurable act and forget it was forced. Yeah, he was that cunning. I remembered Lisa and dialed her office number. She appeared at my desk in no time and I passed the paper to her. "Make sure he signs it immediately and then bring it back. Thank you." I ordered and she left. It felt great to be on top. I could order anybody I wanted, not saying I would abuse my power. I decided to go through some records when Lisa walk
A Little Like Fate 22~ Deja Vu
LEVI "We met during junior year and the relationship ended because I was moving away," Clarence explained, much to my astonishment. "And dude, I want her back. She's the best girl I've ever tasted and I need to get down with her again." He leaned forward with pleading eyes. "Come on, Cousin Levi, you have got to help me. You know, put in some good helpful words for me. Even if it's just once." "Are you crazy or something? Why would I promote sex between my employees?" I asked, glaring daggers at him. He was just asking me to let him have his way with my 'fiancee'."Well, what was her reply when you made advances at her?" I sighed, pinching the flesh between my brows. "She's proving hard to get. I know she's an easy one, but I don't know why she's acting that way towards me. I for reals fucked her on our first date. I wonder why she's acting like a kid." "Mind your language at work, Clarence." I cautioned. "If she doesn't want you, let her be. I heard everything she said in your
A Little Like Fate 23~ Cook for me
DELIA "Rejected? Excuse me, miss, but your man is a nuisance. I advised him to stay away from me because he was bugging the life out of me." I scoffed and looked at the disgusting man. He looked way younger than the woman that had just claimed him. "And you expect me to believe that nonsense?" She charged toward me but was immediately held down by security. The attendant packaged my goods and I left the drama scene, almost embarrassed. Deja Vu. When that mysterious lady from my former workplace accused me of stealing her man. Why was everything happening all over? I sighed heavily. In the end, everybody in this city is mad. I quietly boarded a bus back to the estate where I walked from the estate gates to my apartment. It was a long walk but certainly enjoyable because of the serenity. I noticed not many people stayed outside during the day. People mostly go out at night to get dinner, probably because they're too lazy to cook or they don't cook at all. "Finally!" I yelled as I
A Little Like Fate 24~ Rape
DELIAI stared blankly at sir Levi. He was also staring back and when I noticed I had looked for too long, I turned my face. Cook for him? I felt my cheeks turn bright red so I lowered my gaze. It fell on the floor while my fingers intertwined with each other on my lap. "Not for me only though." He sat up and placed his phone on the transparent table. "My grandfather wants to know how much of a cook you are." "Oh, when?" I asked, lifting my gaze back to him. "I will let you know when it's time. For now, I'm hungry." He groaned and laid back down. "Should I get something from the restaurant nearby? Their food tastes amazing." I offered cheerfully. "You'll love it." I stood up to go out but his voice stopped me. "That'd be too stressful. Serve me anything you have here." I turned to look at him but his eyes were closed. It was hard to understand him. One minute he's talking about cooking for his grandfather and the next minute, he's asking me to serve him some homemade dishes

A Little Like Fate Epilogue
DELIA "Did he tell you anything? Is it a business meeting or what? I don't understand why I have to dress up this pretty to go meet some other person." I groaned. Levi and Javan were always up to something crazy and I was sometimes scared of them. "Stop speaking in my ear, sis. Just wait until we get to the meeting spot. You can ask the client yourself why we're going there." He said. I relaxed back in my seat because arguing with him was pointless. We got to a seven-star restaurant and boarded the elevator. To my surprise, we got to the last floor of the building. Javan told me to go on while he went down back. "Hopefully these guys aren't trying to sell me." I prayed as I clutched myself when a rush of chilly wind hit me. The place seemed empty until someone walked up to me to deliver a card. "Come forward," the card read. I smiled widely as I knew what was going on. He could have just said so in the first place. I walked forward and met a beautifully decorated table filled w

DELIA "I can't, babe. I have to go home and change first. Andrew needs a bath too. He ruined his clothes today and he can't sleep in them." I queried. Finally, he agreed with me. "But make sure you come back, okay?" He said and kissed me. "I will." I pinched his cheek and walked out with Andrew. Nobody had heard from Fallon, not even Levi's mother whom she came with. Hope she didn't kill herself somewhere. Or maybe she had gone home. Javan was still trying to locate her and hadn't reported any news to us yet. As I got down from the cab, my phone rang and it was Levi. "I just left five minutes ago. Missed me much?" "When are you coming back? Now?" "Not at all, in an hour or two." I headed for the apartment, smiling. I looked back and the cabby had driven away. "Come on, babe, don't do this to me," He begged. I laughed and just as I passed through the yard gate, I heard an explosion. My first instinct was to shield my baby. *****LEVII heard an explosion and then a scream foll
A Little Like Fate Chapter 73
DELIA "Javan, you've gotten so lean. Is Levi stressing you out?" Mrs. Elrod exclaimed. She touched Javan all over to his dismay. Levi and I laughed at him while he frowned. "I'll make sure to spank his arse later, okay?" She smiled. "So, Delia," She faced me. I stopped smiling and put on a serious expression. "How did you meet my son?""I met him at College during our first year," I replied. "So, how came about Andrew? You two are not married and he never mentioned you to me." She expressed worriedly. "It's more or less a complicated issue. He will give you the details of everything you want to know. Right, dear?" I touched his shoulder and he nodded. He was still nervous but he should be the one to break everything to her since they were closer than any other person in the room. We were all having a good time when the door was opened harshly. We all turned to the rude intruder and found Fallon standing at the door. Her hair was quite messy and her eyes seemed red and heavy. W
A Little Like Fate Chapter 72
DELIA I had a splendid time at the hospital with Levi over the weekend. He mustered up the courage and asked me out for real this time. The way he did it was funny and I ended up laughing up my energy. Who knew that the almighty Levi could be so nervous around me? I felt sad that I was leaving but I had to go to work. If I had listened to him and stayed throughout the week, the workload would have been too much on him whenever he resumed. I woke up early that Monday morning and prepared food for my boyfriend. He didn't like the hospital meals and he certainly didn't want to eat outside. So, yeah, it came down to making food for him. I also made the one that could last for Andrew till evening and I went to the hospital. "Good morning," I greeted as I stepped in."Good morning babe," He reciprocated. His eyes were on the screen of his laptop, probably trying to do some work while in the hospital. "You shouldn't be doing this," I frowned and laid Andrew beside him. "I can't let you
A Little Like Fate Chapter 71
DELIA I finally knocked on the door and when I heard a reply, I opened the door and walked inside. Levi's head was buried inside a book. I felt like crying. A few weeks back, he was lying almost lifeless but there he was, stronger and healthier. All thanks to the almighty for sparing his life. "Hi," I said. He must have thought I was a nurse or a doctor and that's why he didn't bother to check. But after I made my entrance recognizable by speaking, he looked away from his book. A smile was plastered on my face as I moved toward him. "How are you feeling today?""Better than ever." He replied. "Uhm... Here. I got these for you. Hospital meals are terrible sometimes and so, I got you a meal." I stretched the hug package toward him and he accepted it. "Thanks. You saved me yesterday with the meal you sent through Javan. Thanks again." He said and I smiled. I was definitely planning on toasting Javan after now. I specifically told him not to mention my name and just say the food wa
A Little Like Fate Chapter 70
LEVI "Thank you all so much. I feel so loved." I touched my chest in gratitude. Seeing my employees visiting me when I'm not well was something to be grateful for. It proved that I was a good boss to them and what better than having a good employer-employee relationship at a place of work? "Thank you very much. I really appreciate the gifts." "Get well soon, sir. We miss you a lot." One of them said. I didn't spot two significant in the crowd; Evans and Delia. I knew Evans hated me and was probably sulking somewhere because I was still alive but what I didn't understand was why Delia wouldn't come to see me. To be honest, she was the first person I was expecting to see. Was it that she didn't care if I died or not? Soon after the celebration of my coming back to life, everyone except Javan left. I sighed, I was hurt by her absence. Why was she bent on killing me? Why did I even bother waking up? "Delia made this," Javan stretched a bag toward me. I stared at it for some seconds b
A Little Like Fate Chapter 69
DELIA Every day was busy for me, coupled with the fact that I had to take care of a baby. It wasn't easy at all. At work, I had to do the job of a CEO and also work my position. If not for Javan who was always there to look after Andrew, I would have broken down. The printing of the book was around the corner and Levi was still not up. He was the key part of everything and his condition always kept me up. I had developed insomnia and it was getting worse every day. I don't get sleep and even if I try to sleep, I don't do it enough. I don't sleep more than two hours a day. I was drowning in the pressure. It's in over my head. I don't know why I thought I could do this. But still, I couldn't find myself stopping. I was doing it because of Levi. I didn't want him to think of anything work when he wakes up. All he needed to do was rest, rest, and rest. No stress is allowed in his zone. When Javan walked into the office, I looked at him with hopeful eyes but he gently shook his head.
A Little Like Fate Chapter 68
DELIA "How is he?" I asked, sniffing at the end of my question. Andrew was playing with my dress, chewing the buttons on it but I didn't bother. Javan looked at me and sighed. "Be honest with me, Javan. Don't think about lying because I will still find out." "The doctor said he might not make it out alive." He said with a deadpan expression. "There were lots of alcohol in his system. He is almost as good as dead." I sighed heavily as fresh tears rolled down my cheeks. "He can't do this to me. This is all my fault." I wept bitterly. "No, no, don't think like that. None of this is your fault. He was just reckless. We should just pray a miracle happens and he comes out alive." "I should have just called him after that night. He must have thought I was joking ot trying to play games with him. And you tell me not to blame myself?" I grabbed a tissue and blew into it. "It's not your fault. It's his fault for driving when drunk." He scoffed. "Don't worry about it." "What? I have al
A Little Like Fate Chapter 67
LEVI I didn't know how many days but I hadn't gone to work since the club meeting. I was somehow devastated because I knew I would never come back to see Delia, despite the promise. But there was another thought in my head. What if she was just doing this to pay me back for what happened? What if she knew I really loved her and she wanted me to feel every atom of guilt and probably die of it? What if all those actions were fake and she just wanted to see me suffer? The hot, steamy night was all just a ploy then. But then again, I couldn't just conclude without confronting her. She hadn't called since that day and my assumptions were beginning to seem true. My heart ached a lot and my eyes watered. Why was she doing this? I looked to my side and picked up the half bottle of vodka. I had earlier finished six bottles and it wasn't afternoon yet. I had finished more than a crate in less than a week. I was gradually turning into a shadow of myself and there was no one to pull me out.
