**Mavin.**

My father angrily looked at me before shifting his gaze back to his father, asking, "Are you asking me to leave, Dad? Fine, what about the company? You can't just continue to lock it up!"

"Go back home, Luke, and wait until I'm ready to open the company, or better still, look for something else to do," Grandpa Charlie replied. My father glared at me once more as I stood there waiting for him to leave. Finally, he turned and exited my living room silently while I looked back at my grandfather, who was now drinking the herbal tea that Angela had served him.

I sighed and asked, "Grandpa, what about the company? I already agreed to marry now, so why not give it to Dad? That way, he can stop hating on me. I don't really need the company, as I’m self-made."

"I know, Mavin, but you see, Luke is my son. Before you were born, he had his own life. Don't listen to him; he's just angry that I accepted you and took you away from him. He knows I can't give him my company, so don’t pay att

    Mavin, I walked into my office and settled into my executive office chair, thinking back to what Thelma and I had done the day before. I tried to push those thoughts aside, but I couldn't shake the desire to see her again. Now, I regretted my actions. As I sat down and booted up my computer, I reached for the phone to check with Henry if he had cleared all the news reports about me. When Henry confirmed it, I hung up and turned my attention to the top clients I needed to meet that day. I was aware that the news might have reached Thelma's father, Mr. Conrad Sabastain, especially since we received the business magazine early in the morning. It seemed likely that the news had spread, and other companies were eager to climb the rankings to become top partners in City B. I didn't feel the need to show off to climb the ladder; I believed in working diligently but not excessively. The attention from our fans, along with the international recognition, had driven both Steven and me to succ

    Thelma, Mrs. Elena Brown informed me that her boss had arrived and instructed me to proceed to the fourth floor to see Mavin. I was nervous to see him as I had been waiting since morning. I know I should have left the company, but I still wanted to speak to him. I intended to tell him face-to-face that we couldn't date and that we should forget about the possibility of being together. I was really nervous when he started asking me questions about why I returned to work at his company. I felt like I was being interviewed all over again. Feeling scared, I tried to leave when he stood up from his seat. He caught me before I could reach the door and turned me around to face him. "Why are you running away when I haven't finished my questions?" Mavin asked, his white eyes adding to my fear. I mentioned that my father had warned me to keep my distance from him. Mavin then asked if I had ever asked my father why he said that. "No, he just warned me to stay away from you," I replied, no

    Steven. Father finally dismissed his guests as they left our living room, and he finally walked up to meet me as I stood beside the dining table, checking the business news gossip magazine that I had gathered from the center table. "Steven, what happened?" Father asked me, as I squinted my eyes and read through the news written on the front pages of the gossip magazine cover. "Steven..." "Father, you know that Thelma told us lies last night," I said calmly, not wanting my father to faint. I still needed some personal explanation from him and to know why he hated LX Groups so much, to the extent that the hatred had to be transferred to MW Group as well. "About what, Steven? And why did you chase your younger sister into the house like that?" Father continued to ask me as he walked past me and sat down in the first dining seat. "Do you know that Thelma actually met with Mavin yesterday in his office, and the worst report that I am seeing trending online now is that she had an affai

    Thelma's Point of View: I knew that my father and Steven would find out the truth about what had happened. I was nervous and couldn't meet their gazes. Father was angry, and he had every right to be. I didn't say anything, and Father left while Steven waited. "Thelma, what happened? You need to calm down and explain to me," Steven spoke in an alluring voice. "There's nothing to explain. Mavin is the man I met with last weekend," I said tearfully, and Steven gasped, "What?" "Could you repeat that?" Steven urged me to speak. "You mean you actually met with Mavin White the previous week? Thelma! How could you?" Steven paced about, and I finally looked up at him. "I didn't know he was Mavin White," I replied between sobs. Steven turned to look back at me, glared at me, and asked, "Then how do you explain all these new marks on your neck?" "I don't know. We just happened to do it again. I think Mavin likes me, but he looks angry about something," I said. "Shut up, Thelma! You're

    Thelma. "What?" I looked at Steven in disbelief as he sat at the dining seat and stated that I had been grounded. "But my mom said that I need to go to the hospital to get Mavin's seed off me," I told Steven, and he only stared at me in silence at first, while Lady Bonnie stepped out from the kitchen and served his tea. "Thelma, I still find it hard to believe that you truly had anything to do with Mavin. Are you sure that you slept with him?" Steven asked me in utmost disbelief, and I shrugged and sat across from him at the dining table. "Mavin is handsome, and he somehow looks like you," I said as I smiled to myself at the thought of Mavin White. But as I looked at Steven's face, he hummed in silence and replied, "You cannot go out today. That's it. Later, I will visit the hospital and let Doctor Amari know about it, in case she has anything to give you to flush out Mavin's seed from your system. But, please, don't speak about Mavin to me again as we don't associate with him." "

    Thelma POV: "Mom! I cannot marry Felix, and that's final! I thought you and Dad said that I'm only meeting with Felix this Saturday. After this meeting on Saturday, I will get to know whether I will marry him or not." "Who told you that lie, Thelma? You are meeting with Felix to marry him. Later, we will fix your wedding date. It's not compulsory for you to wait until the wedding date to become a couple. Get ready for your engagement party with Felix on Saturday. Your father rescheduled the meeting as an engagement ceremony. I need to go back to my room now to rest. See you later, Thelma," Mom said, then she walked out of my room and slammed the door behind her. I sighed and fell back onto my bed, crying. I didn't want to marry Felix, but what could I do? I sat up on my bed, picked up my phone, and quickly searched for Felix Ruben's photos. I gasped as I saw that he is the same man as Richard Ruben. "Is he twins?" I asked in shock, realizing that I may end up marrying the man wh

    Thelma's Point of View: I stayed outside until evening, and Steven finally arrived home from work. He didn't say anything to me. I went back into the living room shortly after Steven walked inside. Dad had already taken his bath, changed into his suit, and sat on the living room couch. He called me over, and I assumed Mom had spoken to him about Felix Ruben being CEO Richard Ruben. "Thelma," Father called out. "Yes, Dad," I answered, pausing in the living room. "Is it true what you told your mother about Felix being CEO Richard Ruben?" Father asked. "Yes, Dad." "Well, if that's the case, I cannot cancel the wedding engagement as Felix already agreed to come and visit us here the day after tomorrow." "But Dad, what if he finds out the truth about me? Won't he go online to gain more recognition by revealing it?" I asked. Father remained silent. After a while, he said, "You caused all this drama, Thelma. But don't worry. Donald is my friend, and if Felix is indeed CEO Richard, h

    Thelma's POV: "So, what do you want me to do for you?" Doctor Amari asked again, and my mother quickly explained to her. "Hmm, Madam, you know that it's not safe to consider operating a fully grown adult who is conscious without the patient's permission. I cannot start the treatment on her unless she agrees to it," Doctor Amari said, her smile not leaving her beautiful brown face. "Why do you need her permission first, when you know she doesn't want to clean herself? She seems to like the man, but her father already has another husband for her. Please, doctor, just give me the treatment, and I will administer it to her at home," Mother said. Doctor Amari replied, "Okay, the risk is on you as you will have to sign and consent to it. Although there are not many dangers in using the treatment, you still have to agree before I can give it to you." Mother wasted no time agreeing to receive the treatment on my behalf, and she signed while my frown deepened. I couldn't believe that Mothe
