Page Uncle's chauffeur had dropped off her car in her house early that morning at around seven. Page didn't feel like driving so Rowan offered to drop her off at work. Her eyes remained focused on California's beautiful road while Rowan retreated into the comfort of his mind.

He had seen the word ‘CEO’ in front of Page's name on her file and was shocked beyond repair. She is the sole heir of her father's company? He thought. He had always thought that Page was a spoilt lady that enjoyed the benefits of having an overly wealthy grandad and also wanted to rip off him and his grandad despite being born into a rich family. He had thought she had a brother that was her grandad's heir but it turned out that she was her grandad's sole heir and had enough riches to last her a thousand years without her having to depend on any man or anyone else. She was an independent lady with amazing skills and talents. She was an embodiment of fascination.

Rowan instructed Page to stay in the car when he

    Rowan walked into Page's room after she invited him in. They had just finished having an Italian sausage soup and an Italian chopped salad with salami crisps, croutons, buttery and mild Castelvetrano olives and additional romano cheese that five of their chefs had prepared, their head chef inclusive. The salad was crisp, tangy, crunchy and beautifully bright with an exceptionally appetizing appearance. “That Italian salad and soup tasted heavenly. I have been craving Italian salad for two days now but the time to make some or tell the chefs to never came. I feel good!” she fell on her king sized bed standing firm in her master bedroom and sighed, her lips stretching into a fulfilling smile.Rowan beamed brightly as he sat beside her and gazed at her.Little things make her extremely happy, his subconsciousness rang.Truly, they matter. He reached for her face and lazily ran the pad of his thumb over her soft smooth cheek. He raised her up by her hand so that she was facing him. His

    Wanting to meet up with Lina so that she could tell her about the late night call she had with Will, physically replying her text, Page got to her house by nine in the morning. Stopping by at a sweetshop before taking a taxi, they got some chocolate eclair, jelly rolls, chocolate chip muffins and danishes with fruit fillings in some and cheese in the others. They both got a carton of cold sweetened strawberry flavored yoghurt for themselves. “Hmmm. This is really nice but we have to hit the gym this weekend Page," Lina hummed as her teeth sank into a fruit filled danish.“Tastes so good," she hummed again, picking a chocolate chip muffins and taking a hearty bite.Page eyed her from the corner of her eyes, popping a halved chocolate eclair into her mouth.“Don't you dare say that," Lina giggled."You pig. Is this how you eat around Derek?"“At times. I am myself around him okay? After all, he is my boyfriend," she playfully batted her lashes and leaned against Page."Get lost you pig

    “Why can't he just stop?” Rowan paced in his closet.Everything his grandad had told him replayed like a tape in his head, rewinding occasionally to the parts where he said things of great significance.He ran his hand exasperatedly through his hair as he walked out of his large frabjously illuminated closet and into his bedroom. He paced the area around his bed then sat on his bed.“I like Page. No, I love her and I cannot watch another man sway her off her feet and make her desert me. For days, weeks and months now I have admired and adored her but only lied to myself every single time. I cannot contain my feelings. I cannot keep my feelings hidden anymore lest my heart would explode watching Will profess his undying love for my irresistible wife that has caught the preying eyes of menacing men ready to pounce like predators at any given time,” he reasoned. He fell back on his bed and stared at the ceiling for more than thirty minutes, trying to decide what he thought was right to

    Katherine handed Page her cup of coffee as she got into the car beside her. A waft of its sweet aroma danced around her nostrils, causing her to beam. What would I do without her, she smiled.In her hand was exactly what she needed. A cup of Nitro cold brew. She had made it a venti with sugar-free vanilla syrup, mocha sauce, an extra splash of oat milk, caramel sauce-lined cup, three shots of blonde espresso roast, cinammon powder on top with no whipped cream. Page was stressed and Katherine knew that at that time of the day, the higher Page's stress, the more caffeinated her drinks had to be. Page was headed for her fifth meeting that day. Surprisingly, it was just noon. She sipped from her straw and ordered her chauffeur to continue driving. They were on their way to the corporation Simon wanted to transfer ownership to them, the hotel. An apt tour around his hotel was their sole aim that day as the one for his resort had been carried out the previous week. Finalization of her de

    Page had told Katherine about the arrest of Irene and Frank, the persons that actually stole her file. She wasn't entirely convinced that Simon had something to do with it.“How do we know that they are telling the truth? How do we know that they aren't hiding something?" Katherine had asked.“During the three interrogations, they said they were the only ones involved in it. I had initially suspected Simon but he has nothing to do with this,” Page had said, firmly."I just knew he played a role in all these," Katherine said as they trailed the cops car."That man is beastly and evil. Take me to his island in Greece? Have his ‘ideal fun’ with me?” she scoffed.“Anyway, thank you for making me take an audio and video recorder with me to his office. I never knew it would be of great help,” Page said."I was glad to help ma'am,” Katherine beamed, happy that her boss was relieved.After Katherine had told Page that Simon might actually have something to do with the theft of her property, s

    Page blinked incredulously, looking from Rowan to Will then, to the ground. “What is this?" She said under her breath, her breathing hitched and erratic.Beads of sweats began to appear on her face as she taciturnly pleaded for the ground to open up and swallow her. The feeling of guilt was overwhelming; it clouded her vision and sense of reasoning. It felt as though her necklace and bra had become uncomfortably tight, making her feel like she couldn't breathe properly.“Why did I do it? I shouldn't have. I knew I shouldn't have. . ." She shook her head in utter guilt of her actions. She took two steps forward and lost her balance, almost falling back. Before Will and Rowan could reach her to hold her, she balanced herself, took one last glimpse at Rowan and walked out of the office in a haste. All that happened like a flash of lightning. She walked as though someone was on her tail in the company, keeping her gaze down until she was outside and had gotten into her car. She threw

    “They know themselves?”“Yes, they do," Page was pacing Lina's sitting room with a hand on her forehead and the other on her waist."How could that be?” Lina's eyebrows furrowed as she sat down at the edge of a chair."I am on the verge of going crazy Lina. My head is ticking like an atomic bomb,” Page sat on the chair parallel to Lina's. “How bad do you think this is?"“Beyond measure. Rowan as well as his grandad was there. The look on Rowan's face when I looked at him before walking out of that office made me regret everything I did. Unknowingly making matters worse, I did not properly acknowledge Rowan presence. I called Will's name before his, making it evident that we know ourselves really well. That's exactly how bad it is Lina, beyond measure,” Page cried out, dragging her necklace from her neck, cutting it in the process and throwing it to the floor. She was without a doubt, restless. “You have to calm down Page. Panicking wouldn't solve anything," Lina said.“I’m scared Li

    “How could I what?" Page asked, her heart was beating profusely.‘Please Lord, let this not be about what I think it is. Did he find out about my acquittance with Will?’ she cried within. Rowan was getting angrier and impatient. He flung his jacket across the sitting room and got up with a straight face.At this, she was trembled in fear, not liking how mean he looked and acted.“I neither have the time nor the strength to stand here and watch you play dumb with me. I do not like it when people try to take me for a ride. You know too well what I am talking about," Rowan said."Seriously Rowan, I do not have an idea of what you are talking about,” she shook her head slowly with furrowed eyebrows.“Then you would rather I spell it out for you, right? Ok. What relationship do you have with Will? Let's forget he is my best friend as you never knew he was. Let's regard him as another man outside this union. Now, tell me what I need to know," Rowan stony eyes held Page's face."I do not ha

    “So? How did he take the news?" Lina asked over the phone whilst Page listened but kept her eyes on straight, not wanting to loose Rowan. She was worried that he was driving himself at that time and prayed that nothing would go wrong.“Not well. He was discombobulated and did not want a divorce,” she replied."But you are getting it despite whatever he said, right?" Lina asked.“I do not know Lina. I cannot give you a definite answer right now but all I can say is that I think Will has been playing us both," Page revealed.“What? Tell me you are joking."“I would if I were. He lied to Rowan and he lied to me. Rowan never cheated on me. I do not know what his motives are but based on what Rowan said, he lied to us both to manipulate us against each other then make us get a divorce when we cannot bear each other's presence anymore. Then, he would take it as his chance to be with me, playing ‘the saint’ in the process,” Page uttered."If that is not just an assumption but what is really

    Page felt a pain in her heart at his words but her mind was made up. She had called her grandad and Lina prior to the time Rowan got back and told them she was getting a divorce.“I have given this marriage my all but it seems my efforts to make things work between Rowan and I have been futile. A loveless marriage is not what I wish for myself so therefore, this is where this union between the both of us ends," she had said to her grandad when he tried to tell her to wait some more time to see if he would change from his cold ways. She had chuckled painfully when he said that.“You know not the lengths I have gone for him in the name of love and the number of times he has thrown my hope for us to the ground and crushed it severally with his strong feet by stepping vigorously on it without mercy,” she had said to him when he was standing on his opinion of her giving him a second chance. Rowan sat beside her and dropped his head onto her shoulder."My Cupcake, my beautiful addiction,"

    “It is not my fault nor was it within my power that I fell in love with that beautiful, irresistible woman. I never knew she was Rowan's wife. What do you expect me to do? Unlove her? Just like that? Fortunately, it does not work that way dad. I liked her, I fell for her! I want that woman and I would go for her. In fact, I am going for her. The rest of the world and those against it can drown themselves, they can go to hell for all I care!” He screamed, hitting his hand on the table.‘The audacity to yell. . .’ everyone at the table thought but remained still and quiet.Although, Rowan felt the urge to talk. “Mind you Will, I am seated right here," Rowan did well to remind Will, not appreciating the manner in which he spoke about his wife."So what? So what Rowan? Damn your presence, I am tired of being too cool about my feelings. I am tired of all this shit!” he said loudly with gestures.“Can you calm down son? Do you not see this is all shades of wrong?" His mum uttered softly as

    In a sleek ultra-luxurious La Voiture Noire, Rowan drove, in a neatly ironed checked shirt with various shades of blue, a pair of black trouser and a pair of shiny black shoes to Will's parents house. His grandad had called to inform him that Thomas Garrett, Will's dad had returned to California after his three weeks trip to seal off some business deals and his wife, Eleanor Garrett, a sweet easygoing woman had suggested they get together, eat, laugh and catch up. She had informed Mr. Matthew Cannon about it as soon as she took the decision the day before and he had taken it upon himself to pass across the information to Rowan. Calling his grandson earlier to acquaint him slipped his mind so he had called an hour and thirty minutes before the get-together, right after he remembered. Though Rowan was not upset that he was apprised at that time, his grandad apologized. He took with him a bottle of expensive champagne, Mr. Garrett's favorite and a big bouquet of flowers, concretely peo

    “Home sweet home," Page said in a song-like manner as she walked into her house after a long day of going through reports, signing documents and attending extremely important meetings.“Welcome Madam,” her head chef beamed and said when she walked to her. “Thank you dear. What I really need right now is a long dip in my jacuzzi bathtub a tasty meal,” she stated to her head chef that stood beside her in a long green gown covered by a white apron.“What would you like to have for dinner ma'am?” she asked. "Hmmm…" Page tapped her cheek with her index finger as she thought of what she wanted.“Make me some potato waffles for hors d'oeuvre, pasta and some beef sauce to be accompanied with sausages and a glass of white crisp wine for main course then, strawberry tarts for dessert” Page answered with an already watering mouth.“Preparation of your meals would start right away ma'am," her chef said and went to call the rest of the cooks so that the preparation of their mistress's meals woul

    “You had sex Will?" Lina asked with her eyes widened and her head propelled forward, a voluntary reaction to what she thought had happened.“No Lina, relax. I didn't," Page uttered when Lina spoke."A good explanation of whatever happened is what's most needed here Page,” Lina said, itching to know what had happened.“He sat by me to confort me as I cried after the things he had told me Rowan did and told me to use him to get rid of my pains. He said other sweet things that made me want to kiss him not because he offered himself freely and spontaneously to me as an object of pain disintegration but because I wanted to know how I truly felt about him,” Page said and went silent. "Before I ask how you really feel about Will, tell me what occured before the kiss ensued,” Lina fielded, waiting to hear the most essential part of Page's story, so she deemed it.“Everything basically boiled down to the things he said and did. My heart and head were fighting in accordance against leaning int

    Page concealed her hickeys behind a handful of her hair which fell over her shoulder as soon as she got into the elevator that led to the building's grand floor. She leaned against the wall of the elevator and breathed shakily, her bag clutched by her both hands. She ran her hand over her hair gently to make sure it was still neat and not sticking out in different places –she did not want to give his employees a hint of what had happened between her and their boss in his office. Outside, she got into her car and dropped her bag on the passenger's seat beside her. She waited for her erratic breathing to become stable before turning on a really nice dance-tempting music and heading to work. The thought of what had happened in Will's office filled her mind so she was neither focused on the music nor danced. She brought her car to a stop in front of her company and got down. With her hand stretched, she handed her key to her chauffeur –the one always at the front of the company. She had

    “I was asking why you told Rowan we have shared a kiss," Page uttered, reminding him the question she had asked before he changed the topic. “It's complicated Page," Will sighed and answered.“What do you mean it's complicated?"“I mean that you would not understand why, obviously."“I am not dense Will. You have not told me anything yet so I do not get why you would assume I would not understand whatever you want to say,” Page said, putting her sunglasses down on the table in front of her. She knew she would be able to understand his reasons as long as he explained them clearly to her. Someone telling her she was not going to understand something without having said anything often irked her. Will was quite as he thought of the best way to explain things to Page.“The thing is…” he trailed off, taking a breath. Page wore a look that urged him to go on. She was starting to get tired of the suspense.“Okay so, I told Rowan that we kissed to punish him emotionally for disrespecting y

    “Cancel my morning meetings Katherine, I have something I have to attend to but I would be at the office before noon. Hopefully,” Page said to Katherine over the phone.“Yes ma'am," Katherine replied before the call came to an end.Page wore her intoxicating but soft floral mix and walked out of her room. Rowan was no where to be seen when she got down the stairs so she comfortably left without having to deal with his presence. She had called her youngest chauffeur that morning because she did not feel like driving. He opened the door to the car she felt like going to work in that morning; a flashy red car.“You look extraordinary today Miss Page,” he complemented her."Thank you. New day, new me,” she smiled and got into the car when she took off her sunglasses.Her chauffeur didn't understand her statement fully but brushed it off and closed the door.
