DavinaI was scrolling through my contact list after I was done with dinner.It didn't take long for me to locate the contact that I was looking for.Written boldly on my screen was the name of my secretary and my personal assistant while I was still working with Campbell Enterprises. Jane. I dialed her contact and watched my screen silently; the only sound that could be heard was that of the beeping sound of the phone, indicating the phone of whoever I am calling is ringing. Just when I gave up that she wasn't going to pick the call, which made me slightly worried, the call connected.“What took you so long to pick up the call?” I questioned, tapping the speaker button to place the phone on speaker. “I am so sorry, ma'am, I wasn't with my phone. In fact, I had no idea where the phone was until you called,” she answered amidst pants, which was wildly suspicious. But what can I say?Everyone has their own personal lives to live. Her own is none of my business, unless she wants to

Davina “Come sit with us, Stasha,” my mother said and broke the hug after what had seemed like an eternity. I followed her and occupied one of the empty chairs.Stasha. That is a name I am not sure I am used to being called any longer. How many years has it been since I last heard that name? Around two decades ago. My father cleared his throat to get my attention. “First of all, let me start with, I am so sorry for not believing you when Alex brought you to me,” he said with an apologetic tone. “There is no reason for you to apologize; you already have a valid enough reason for that. It isn't a bad thing to be that cautious,” I replied to him. “It isn't valid enough; let him apologize,” my mother replied to me, slight anger underlying in her tone. Of course, the anger wasn't directed to me, but to who her gaze was locked on, which was her husband, my dad. “I am not pissed, so there is no reason to apologize… Mum,” The hesitancy before addressing her as my mum was obvious.

Alexander sat in the office that belonged to him in the headquarters of his family’s empire, completely lost in thought.He rose to his feet and slipped his hands into his pockets, moving to and fro, trying to come up with an answer to what troubled him. He had never been this troubled before in his entire life. No, it wasn't like he was really troubled… It was just that there was something on his mind that he had been trying hard to get the perfect solution to since the Charez family informed him of the event they were planning to hold at night. A knock landed on his door, but Alexander was too lost in thoughts to even notice that someone was knocking.The knock turned into a couple more. Seeing that there wasn't any response from Alexander, who was obviously in the office, the person who was knocking pushed the door to see whether it would budge. Surprisingly, the door pushed open, and the person knocking staggered inside, obviously shocked that the door was open all the while

Davina After successfully dragging me to go shopping for myself along with the card that arrived not long after my dad went out. My mother, Rose Charez, was grinning from ear to ear on our way back. “You know, as much as I would have loved for the shopping to be just between both of us, I had no other choice than to drag the driver with us,” she said, breaking the one-second silence between the both of us. I moved my gaze from her to stare at the driver and returned the gaze to her after a couple of seconds. “What do you mean you had no other choice? Can't you drive?” I questioned and tilted my head slightly to the side with a teasing smile. “It's not that I can't drive,” she replied and relaxed her back. “Then what's wrong?” I questioned, out of curiosity, my brows furrowed, coming closer to each other. She exhaled slowly first and closed her eyes for a while. It felt like she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. “After you went missing, I was so devastated and broke

Davina“You will know everything you need to know once you get inside,” Those were the exact words my mum had said to me when I had asked her what was going on.Coming close to the house, I couldn't hear a single thing, but it was quite obvious that there were a lot of people in this place; the cars parked outside were proof enough of that. It wasn't just any type of car that was parked outside. Well, that was to be expected; the friends of the Charez family would definitely have to be people who are so rich also. Rich enough to afford any car they feel like affording without breaking a sweat. Just as I was about to press the doorbell, my mom held my hands. “There is no need for that, just knock,” she said to me and let go of my hands, which was quite a suspicious act. Why shouldn't I use the doorbell? I didn't even give it much of a thought, even though it was quite obvious that something was bound to happen, judging from the way my mum was.“Tell me what's going to happen onc

Davina. Just like Alex had said, my parents really went all out in the welcome-back party they hosted for me. Both faces that felt vaguely familiar and the ones that I couldn't recall ever seeing before in my whole entire life filled the party. I couldn't help but think that some of them that visited only came because they had something else in mind other than to visit me to welcome me back.It was quite obvious; I am not a newcomer in this world, which is quite contradictory to what most of them would think. I know how it rolls in the business world.One of the reasons why people act all kind is because they need something or just want to be on the good side of whoever it is they are acting kind to. I had been on the sidelines and watched people act that way to my stepsister, all because of what they wanted to gain from her, so it wasn't hard to notice it when it was being done to me. The party lasted for a long while; after almost everyone had departed from our house, I moved u

Davina.This time I heard the sound of his footsteps approaching me before he even said a thing. Maybe that was because he had no intention of being silent at all, because I am pretty sure that if he had tiptoed towards me, I wouldn't have been able to tell that he was close. Only a little of my attention was directed towards the side he was obviously going to come out from; I had been too focused on the beautiful night sky, the garden, and also the change my life will take now. It is obviously going to be a bigger change. “Don't expect anything much from me, though; I had a hard time trying to get this one,” he said and stretched my glass, which was now filled to me. I couldn't see what he held in his left hand; I could only see the bottle of wine he held in his right hand. “Ok, I am not expecting much; be rest assured, and just show me what you got for me before curiosity becomes the end of me,” I urged with a slightly impatient tone. Maybe not slightly at all, I guess. He s

Sitting opposite his dad, who was the CEO of a well-known company also, Alexander let out a sigh. The atmosphere of the office was quite intense. Although they don't have as much influence and popularity as the Charez empire, they are still a well-known company and not one to be toyed with.“So, the Charez’s girl is back?” Alexander's dad asked, despite knowing the answer to his question himself. Alexander answered nevertheless, “Yes, she is.” “And I heard you are the one that brought her back to her family after meeting with her randomly in one of your hotels,” the older version of Alexander pointed out.Anyone who saw Alexander and his father outside would see the obvious resemblance shared by the two of them. The only difference was that Alexander's dad had an older look, while Alexander still had his peak appearance. “Yes,” Alexander replied to him. His father, who had been sitting with his back facing him, turned the swivel chair he was seated on around slowly till he was f

DavinaI woke up very early the next morning. It was the D-day. Today, I become Stasha Charez fully. No more hidden identities, just who I actually am. I took my bath and went into the walk-in closet.I went to the row of clothes mom had gotten for me when I first arrived, all seemed off then but now I understand why she got me corporate outfits. She was preparing for the day I finally stepped into my position as the heir to the Charez empire. I blindly picked a suit but returned it immediately. I can't wear fitted outfits, my baby bump will be noticed. After much deliberation, I settled for a pantsuit and a blazer to match. Using light make-up, I hid my stressed face behind the look of a polished lady boss. My mind conflicted on what to expect. Will they be soft on me or throw challenges my way or be outrightly mean. Well I had no way of knowing unless I got there. Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of my room. It was time to be Stasha. Break went by smoothly, not as w

Davina The table was filled with laughter and the air was celebratory.A celebration. Of me.The thought made something tighten in my chest. I had spent so long fighting, proving, maneuvering in shadows where warmth did not exist. I was being acknowledged as a daughter, as a family not as a pawn. I chewed slowly thinking of how to bring up the discussion. How to tell them the life as I lived as Davina Stewart. How I was a plaything for the people I called family, how I was discarded by my husband when he got tired of me. I wished to rid myself of the burden inmy chest. But looking at them now—at my mother feeding my father a bite of his food, at the way his usually stern face softened with amusement—I faltered.I had never seen my father laugh before.The sound was warm to the ears. I watched my mother teased, and watched respond with a smile. Since I came I have never seen them like this. It felt as if the wound they carried was healing up. Perhaps I completed them. They must ha

DavinaA knock pulled from the depth of sleep. Still dazed, I refused to open my eyes but the knock came again. “Who is it?” I screamed without getting up. “Martha ma'am”It was a maid. “What do you want?” I called out again. “It's past dinner time ma'am and the sir and madam have been waiting” I sprang up from the bed and checked the clock for the time. It really was past dinner time. “Tell them I'll be there” The footsteps retreated and I forced myself to get up from the bed. Still sleepy, I dragged my feets across the room and caught my reflection in the mirror. God I look disheveled. I decided to take a quick shower to keep clean and wash the remaining sleep from my eyes. I sharply took a shower and entered the walk-in closet to pick out an outfit. Settling for a loose chiffon gown, I wore it immediately. As I buttoned up, my eyes wandered around the room. I met my own gaze in the floor to ceiling mirror. I paused.I look different than I had been months ago. My eyes c

DavinaThe ride home was quiet but pleasant. My eyes followed the trail of the city as I breathed the fresh clean air. My first task was done-with a bang. Father sat beside, his eyes on his phone,but the atmosphere was less tense that other times I've been around him. I folded my hand neatly in my palms as my memory replayed what just happened. I took care of King and got rid of Christine and Smith.Father exhaled, his voice breaking the silence. “You handled today well.”The words were simple, but coming from him, they carried weight.I turned my head slightly, studying his profile. His face was unreadable but softer. “Thanks Father ” I said, dropping my gaze to my hands. “I had to do it” He hummed in approval. “But now, things will get even more serious and complicated. People now know you're a Charez and your first line of action was getting rid of a director that has seethed his roots deep in the company. Some people will like you, most won't” He added slowly. The car stoppe

DavinaThe weekend passed in a blur of quiet moments and restless anticipation.With Mom and Dad away on a trip and Alex absent- to my relief, the house had been eerily silent. I welcomed the solitude, using it to sharpen my thoughts, to plan every step of what was to come.Monday arrived with an unshakable energy buzzing beneath my skin. Today was the day. Today, Lawrence King would finally get what was coming to him.I arrived at the office before dawn, stepping into the stillness of the empty building. The fluorescent lights overhead flickered to life, humming softly as I made my way to my desk. The scent of freshly brewed coffee from the break room lingered in the air, mingling with the crispness of the morning.I sat, fingers drumming against the polished wood, my mind whirring as I waited. The anticipation curled around me, coiling tighter with every passing minute.Slowly, the office began to stir. Employees trickled in, their footsteps echoing in the quiet space, their murmure

Davina The warmth of my mother’s embrace still lingered as I made my way downstairs, my steps lighter than they had been in days. Something had shifted—something I couldn't quite name yet. A quiet sense of belonging, perhaps. Or maybe just the comfort of knowing that for once, I hadn’t been the only one reaching across the distance.I trailed my fingers along the polished mahogany banister, the coolness grounding me as I descended. The house was quieter now, save for the distant ticking of a grandfather clock and the faint hum of the evening breeze slipping through the corridors.As I approached my father’s study, the air changed. The hallway, once warmed by the golden glow of sconces, seemed to narrow, pressing in with a weight I had long grown accustomed to. The heavy double doors loomed before me, their carved patterns intricate, precise—much like the man waiting on the other side.I inhaled, steadying myself.A part of me still carried the warmth of my mother’s words, the scent o

DavinaI reached home much earlier than usual, the drive back smooth, almost too smooth, as if the universe was nudging me toward something inevitable. The grand iron gates of the Charez estate parted soundlessly at my arrival, and I pulled into the driveway, cutting the engine with a soft exhale.Stepping out, I was greeted by the familiar scent of night-blooming jasmine, the fragrance mingling with the faint hint of rain still lingering in the air. The house loomed before me, its warm golden lights spilling through the towering windows, making the space feel welcoming yet oddly distant—much like my place within it.As I walked in, the quietness struck me first. The usual hum of conversation or the occasional clatter of activity was missing. The heels of my shoes clicked against the marble floor, each step feeling heavier than necessary. A maid, petite and composed, emerged from the hallway and dipped her head slightly in greeting."Miss, welcome back. Your parents are in a dinner me

Chapter 62DavinaI knocked twice before stepping inside.The scent of cigarettes clung to the air—sharp, lingering. As always.“You called, sir?” I kept my voice even, my posture firm.King met my gaze, a slow smirk playing on his lips. “Have a seat, darling.”“I prefer standing, sir.”His expression didn’t change, but something in his gaze darkened. “I insist.” This time, there was no room for negotiation.I could have refused. Could have stood my ground.But I sat.It wasn’t time to blow my cover yet. I’d obey—for now.“Good girl” A chill crept up my spine. “I won't waste your time. I'm sure you already know how things work around here”My stomach churned. “8pm. Nandas hotel. Be there if you don't want to lose your job” My stomach churned again. He has finally made his move on me. He waved his hand signifying I should leave. I stood up and left. It was time. The moment I got to my desk, I picked up my phone to text the PI but he beat me to it. “We need to talk” his message

DavinaI went back to my desk, forcing my frustration down like a bitter pill.The audacity of those men.My fingers twitched with the urge to break something—preferably their faces—but I curled them into fists beneath my desk, pressing my nails into my palms.Lunchtime was approaching.I pulled out my phone and sent a text."Hey. It’s lunch soon."A few seconds later, my screen lit up with a reply—a photo. The PI lounged in the backseat of his car, a burger in one hand, the office building visible through the window.Perfect.Enjoy your last day as an idiot, King.I made a mental note: take Mr. Smith down with him.What better way to prove myself to my father than to eliminate two corrupt directors at once?And maybe a few others while I was at it. My gaze flicked to Christine. She wasn’t innocent either.The soft click of an opening door made me shift my focus.King stepped out of his office, Mr. Smith beside him. Their voices—low and smug—drifted across the room as they strolled to
