The soft leather of the sofa pressed against my back as I sat upright, my eyes scanning the document spread across my lap. My fingers absently traced the edges of the crisp paper, a subconscious attempt to anchor myself to the words on the page. Every clause, every stipulation, demanded my full attention, but my mind churned with unease. After leaving the headquarters this morning, I could not go back to the hell hole of a cottage Sebastian had me sleep in last night, so I came straight to Jane's apartment. That was the only place I could stay for now. I could tell Sebastian was very upset when I left the office, and I expected him to call me to give his usual orders but I was ready for him this time. He did not get to order me around like his servant, but fortunately for him, he didn't call me. And I wondered what could be going on in his mind. Jane's footsteps were barely audible against the carpet, but the subtle aroma of freshly brewed coffee announced her prese

I lifted the phone to my ear, my fingers tightening around the device as a familiar voice slithered through the speaker. Courtney. Her laughter was light, airy, dripping with condescension, but it was the words that followed that sent a cold chill racing down my spine. "Why are you calling my husband at this hour, Davina?" she asked, her tone deceptively sweet. For a moment, I was stunned into silence. I swallowed back the sharp retort perched on my tongue and steadied my voice before responding. "Is Sebastian there or not? It is him I want to speak with, so hand over the phone to him," I said, keeping my tone as composed as possible. There was no need to show her how much her words rattled me. Courtney laughed again, but this time it was edged with cruelty. "How can you be so shameless and desperate, Davina? Chasing after my husband with calls? Haven't you humiliated yourself enough? Sebastian isn’t willing to talk to you. Fucking move on. There is no way

“Tell me you have signed the contract?” No greeting. No acknowledgment of the fact that I had nearly crashed into him. Just that one question, his eyes boring into mine. My fingers tightened around the folder as I glanced around the hallway. Too many ears. This wasn’t the place for what I had to say. “Can we speak somewhere private?” I asked, keeping my voice steady. Sebastian exhaled slowly, his patience already wearing thin. For a moment, I thought he might refuse. But then, with a tilt of his head, he gestured for me to follow him. I trailed behind him through the corridors. By the time we reached his office, my nerves were wound so tight I could hardly breathe. I didn't know why I always felt this way around him, but there was something about his aura that just made me feel... broken. Aside Jane, Sebastian was the only person I used to spend time with and discuss things that bothered me because my parents didn't give a fuck about me. I do

It had been three days since I signed the partnership deal, three days of trying to convince myself that I was ready to leave this city behind. And yet, as I stood in front of my bedroom mirror on, dressed in a simple navy-blue blouse and a pair of fitted jeans, I could feel the weight of hesitation pressing against my chest. My fingers trembled as I reached for my necklace, fastening it with a quiet click. I chose to go on a Saturday because I knew that Courtney and my ex mother-in-law won't be home. Courtney always visited our parents every Saturday and Sebastian's mother never missed he'd Saturday pilates class. This way, I could avoid the drama and keep my sanity. Today was the day. The day I would finally pack up my things from Sebastian’s house and leave—leave the memories, the pain, and everything that tied me to the Campbells. I took a deep breath and turned, only to see Jane stepping out of her room, she was fully dressed. I frowned, my brows pullin

The room fell into a suffocating silence as all eyes turned to me. Forks hovered mid-air, wine glasses paused at lips, and the gravity of their stares pressed against my soul like a slow-burning fire. Sebastian was the first to break the silence. "Davina?" His voice carried a note of disbelief. His brows knitted together as his gaze darted toward her mother sitting beside him. "What are you doing here?" I swallowed, forcing the lump in my throat down. I don't like reacting like this, but I couldn't help it. I was sweating. Lifting my chin slightly, I met his gaze head-on. "I didn’t realize there was an occasion. I’m just here to pack my things." My voice was steadier than I felt. Dean, one of Sebastian’s longtime friends, leaned back in his chair, a smirk curling at the corner of his lips. "Well, since you're here, you might as well join us. We're celebrating our partnership with Carpel Myles." Before I could even respond, a sharp, synchr

The moment the blade sliced through Courtney’s skin, a sharp gasp tore from my throat. My body froze, my mind struggling to comprehend what I had just witnessed. How can someone be so... uncouth. Blood beaded along the fresh wound, then dripped down her wrist, staining her dress. Courtney’s scream shattered the tense silence. She crumpled to the floor, clutching her wrist, her cries filling the room. Tears coursed down her pale cheeks, her breathing uneven as if she was drowning in her own distress. I took a hesitant step forward, my heart pounding. I didn't know how I was supposed to react. “Courtney—” Before I could get another word out, the door burst open. Sebastian stormed in first, followed by his mother, and my mother. His eyes darted to the trembling woman on the floor, and then—just as quickly—they snapped to me. “What did you do to my wife?” His voice was a low growl, brimming with barely contained fury. "What did you do to m

Davina The dim glow of the bar lights flickered over the polished counter, reflecting off half-empty glasses and the swirling haze of cigarette smoke. A low hum of music vibrated through the walls, blending with the murmur of conversation and occasional bursts of laughter. I traced the rim of my glass with my finger, watching the amber liquid slosh against the ice. It had been nearly two weeks since the divorce, and I had successfully severed all ties with Sebastian. No more biting remarks from my mother-in-law, no more suffocating expectations, no more pretending. I should have felt liberated, but the weight in my chest told me otherwise. The memories still clung to me, stubborn shadows that refused to fade. It'd take a while, Jane told me. She had practically shoved me out of her apartment tonight, insisting I needed a distraction. And so, here I was, sitting in a bar I hadn't stepped foot in since before my marriage. The atmosphere was strangely famili

Sebastian stood at the head of the grand conference hall as the room buzzed with hushed murmurs, employees exchanging glances, speculation thick in the air. Not that they didn't know what was happening, but did not expect it to be happening so fast. It had been just over two weeks since Davina was no longer a part of Campbell Enterprises—both as a wife and as the Managing Director. The void she left behind was undeniable, but now, a new chapter was unfolding. Courtney stood beside Sebastian, her posture poised, an air of silent confidence wrapped around her like an elegant shawl. She was striking—a deep emerald dress tailored to perfection, accentuating her slender frame. Sebastian lifted a hand, and the murmurs ceased instantly. "I want to thank you all for gathering here on such short notice," he began, his deep voice reverberating off the walls, filling every crevice of the vast room. "Change is never easy, but it is often necessary. As you all know,

Davina.My dad, or rather Mr. William, as he would love me to address him for now till the test results get released, told the driver to take a detour to one of the hotels owned by him close by. It took us fifteen minutes to get to the one closest to us. Unable to contain my curiosity, I was pushed to ask a question, “Is it really all your property that you own, put on the internet?” He let out a low chuckle before he answered me, “No, there are still quite a few that are not noticed by the public, and I don't think that is going to change any time soon.”“That was partially expected, so it isn't that surprising,” I replied. “Where are you?” My dad asked someone else over the phone immediately after we parked in front of the hotel.

DavinaImmediately we made our way into the hospital; we were treated as extremely important people. I would have said it was quite similar to what I enjoyed as the adopted daughter of the Stewarts family and the wife of the Campbells eldest son. But I can’t. The way I watched the doctors and even everyone here treat Mr. Charez and Alexander, along with me—obviously for following them—it was like we were demigods. They wasted no time in taking what they needed from both me and… my dad. Immediately after they were done, the doctor placed in charge took us to his office after we were done in the lab. “You can have your seat, sir,” the man said, gesturing to one of the couches in his huge office with a bright, wide smile plastered on his face. “Thank you, Sam,” my dad said and had his seat. “As much as I would love to give you the result immediately, I am sorry to inform you that it would take quite a while,” the man said with a slightly apologetic tone. “You don’t have to apolog

Davina“Alex, if this is a joke, no matter how harmless you might think it is to you. Let me just let you know this: it is a rather expensive one,” Mr. William warned. My father warned. I couldn't stare at his face, so instead, I moved my gaze to the name tag on his table. The name written there was Mr. William Charez, with the position he occupied written under his name. “Fortunately, it isn't a joke, sir,” Alex replied. Silence slowly enveloped the whole office; no one said a single thing. I raised my head off the tag on the table to look at Mr. Wi… my father to see why he is yet to say anything. He was staring at me with a stern but calm expression on his face. Studying me. “So, you are my daughter, my little baby girl, Stasha,” he said with a slightly emotional tone, but there was still a hint of disbelief there.Like he was struggling to believe that I am actually his daughter. I won't really blame him; if I were in his shoes, I would have failed to believe also if someo

Davina. Ga-dump That right there was the sound of my heart as I took my first step into the gigantic building owned by the family occupying the top spot in the business world and have been unrivaled for years. Alexander slipped both of his hands and took steady, easy steps filled with confidence, compared to my steps that might look elegant from the outside, but on a closer look, someone who pays attention to details would notice that it's all an act. “This is my parents that I am on my way to see; they are the least people I should be nervous around,”Those are the exact words I keep telling myself to feel more at home as I pass through the people occupying the lobby. Different heads bowed in greeting as we walked past. I am pretty sure that the greetings weren't directed to me but to the person walking confidently beside me. He was used to being bowed to by people of the high caliber that occupied the lobby. “I thought your legs would be shaky when you stepped into the lobby,

Davina.We both got ready in less than thirty minutes and got on the way immediately. My briefcase sat in the boot of the car while I occupied the front passenger seat, with Alex behind the wheel. Alex. If you had asked me last night if I would have ever addressed him as Alex after he told me his name, the answer I would have given would have been a negative one.I had no intention of addressing him by a short form of his name or if I would ever see him again casually. The only thing that was in my mind that would have brought us together again would have to be nothing other than business. “So, now that you know about how most of my life had played out, don't you think it would be fair for me to know how most of yours, or at least a little of it, had played out?” I asked, breaking the silence that had enveloped the car and had made the journey to my real parent's home boring as fuck. Maybe it wasn't their house we were headed to at the moment, but anywhere that is.“You have to

Davina I couldn’t help but think about how differently my life would have played out if I hadn’t gotten lost that fateful day. I wouldn’t have had to meet with the Stewarts family, wouldn’t have had to endure the hell I went through at the hands of the person who I had called mother throughout my childhood. I wouldn’t have had to endure getting bossed around by someone who I had seen as my younger sister. The pains I had to go through the past few years were crazy. I wouldn’t have met with the Campbell family, not to talk of falling in love with their first son; I would have been so out of reach for him. Someone Sebastian can only admire from a distance but doesn’t have any chance of bonding with at all. I could have had a better life where I would be treated like I should be, like the daughter of a wealthy family that I am. I could have had to bond with actual friends and fallen in love with a wonderful gentleman, not the shitty hell I had been put through and had to endure for

Davina“The same Charez family that I know of?” I questioned. “Yes, the popular Charez family,” he answered with a tone filled with sincerity. But no matter how sincere he sounded. I still found it hard to believe what he was saying; there is no way I am the daughter of such a wealthy, heavily influential, and powerful family. I shook my head in disbelief. “You are wrong; you got the wrong person.”The Charez family is so great that even my family and my ex-husband’s family pale in comparison and have been looking up to them. To them the Charez family was out of reach and in a position that even if they remained stagnant and stopped increasing their wealth for decades, the Stewarts and my ex-husband’s family would still be unable to reach them no matter how hard they worked. But to other families, the Stewarts family was out of reach for them and in a position they would only dream of for decades, and yet the Charez family was exactly that way to the Stewarts family. That just goe

Davina“Which family are you from again?” Alexander asked while assisting me with setting up my stuff. I had decided to lodge in the hotel temporarily while still looking for a house to rent or buy in the city. I had plans to meet up with who was supposed to help me with that later today and let her know the kind of houses I prefer. “The Stewarts,” I answered with a sigh. I really do not have any intention of answering the questions he was asking, but it was not like I had any other choice. Since I wanted to be done with setting it up as quickly as possible, I needed Alexander’s help, and he said the only way he would help me with that is if I answer at least seventy of the questions he has to satisfy his curiosity.“I can swear that I’ve never heard of them before,” Alexander replied with a blank expression. “That is quite surprising; they are quite an influential family also,” I replied and stretched my hand forward, pointing at a particular thing. “Can you help me pass that?”
