A Little Like Fate Chapter 62
DELIA Hailey and I became quite distant from that day. I always saw her struggling to talk to Levi but he just wasn't giving her the vibes she wanted. She barely came to my office, I was the only one that visits her and she always gave me some kind of attitude. She stopped talking to me entirely and even stopped playing with Andrew. What sort of jealousy was that?I made it clear times without number that I wasn't trying to take Levi from her but Levi himself made things worse. He would always get gifts for me and Andrew, even though he had never touched him before. One day, I needed to run an errand for Levi and I didn't know anybody to keep Andrew with. Everybody was busy and he wouldn't just sleep. I had to beg her to stay in my office and watch him while I ran the errand. "Why can't I just go on the errand? Are you sure you're trying to help me win him over? All you're doing is standing in my way." She complained. "What more do you want me to do for you? Beg him on your behalf

DELIA "So, Lia, what's your answer? You already have enough time to think about my proposal and I don't care if we're doing it in front of anybody." Evans insisted. Hailey was there to report the situation of a book on Levi's orders and definitely against her will while Evans was asking me something personal at the office. "Can you have a sense of responsibility? This is an office, not a restaurant or a fancy place where people discuss their love interest." "You've been avoiding me for a long time and I need an answer. Stop keeping me waiting." It was as though he was forcing the answer on me. "Alright, fine. I decline. I decline your proposal. Aside from business, I don't want to have anything to do with you." I said firmly, without mincing words. "I won't back out of the fight just yet, Lia." He assured me and left the office. "Aren't you tired of struggling with what can't be yours?" Hailey asked and I was forced to look at her. "And what's that supposed to mean?" I arched
A Little Like Fate Chapter 64
LEVI I couldn't stop thinking about Delia after I left her. She had, once again, successfully wrapped me around her little finger. But she drew me close to her only for her to push me away. Or did I do something wrong? It was hard staying away from Andrew. Or did the father of the baby come back? Maybe I had really lost her to someone else this time. Once I entered my room, I checked my messages and saw her text. I frowned and deleted the message. Last month, my mother had introduced me to the daughter of one of her friends. No doubt the girl was heavily endowed but she wasn't my type. She was rude to those around her and spoke impolitely to her elders. She only respected her parents, my mom, and me, while others were like trash to her. Worst of it all, my mother didn't see her as that as she only put up the nice side. The girl, Fallon, got obsessed with me and began stalking my every move. She confronted every lady I had been with to restaurants to discuss business and she calle

DELIA "Why did you do that?" I hit Devin's shoulder after he told me what had gone down at the office. He was holding Andrew and I sat down beside him. "Ouch!" He rubbed his shoulder while glaring at me. "You complained to me and I did what I could." "Yeah, I know I did but I didn't want you to confront him. Now, he's never going to look at me again. No wonder he was so cold when we met." I clicked my tongue and stood up. I needed to calm myself with a bottle of water. "Wait, don't tell me you still like him. Come on Delia, what is wrong with you? Why do you like getting hurt?" "It's not that I like him or anything. I just wanted to see the kind of person he was and I found out he changed.""Okay, then why did you say he's getting too close to you?" "I don't know. Maybe because I thought he was. He changed a lot over the past year. He's become more responsible and focuses only on work." I said. "So what now? You're going to walk up to him and say, " Hello, Levi Elrod, I escaped

DELIA "Are you seriously going to do this?" Devin asked me as I checked myself out in the mirror. "Do what? I'm going for an official meeting." I shrugged while adding the finishing touches to my makeup. "Besides, I can't let any woman outdo me, especially not that Hailey of a person. I need to remind her who's in charge." I smirked. I looked hot in my red, V-lined neck gown that hug my body, enunciating my heavy features. My red lipstick sparkled and my blonde hair wasn't left out. It was styled beautifully and I couldn't help but gush over myself. "Don't come crying to me," He sighed and walked out with Andrew. Part of me wanted to believe that Levi had changed but with the way Devin was hammering on it, I began to doubt my instincts. What if he was still the same and was just disguising? I shrugged all negative thoughts out of my head and had Devin drive me to the club after I was done. "This is a little bit too much, don't you think? Did you come with a sweater? You might ca
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.
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 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.
