Pachi’s face turned pale as Nathan’s words hung in the air. His usual swagger seemed to evaporate, leaving him fumbling for a response. "N-Nathan," he stammered, trying to regain his composure. "Our business - - of course, but - - uh... I didn’t expect you’d come here. I mean, this is… just a small café…"

Nathan raised an eyebrow, his cool demeanour unchanged. "I go where I want, Pachi." His voice was smooth, and authoritative, as though he wasn’t just talking about the café, but about life itself. "Now, let’s not make this complicated."

He gestured toward me, his hand light but commanding on the small of my back, and began guiding me to the VIP section of the café. I followed, a bit dazed, while Pachi stood there, rooted to the spot, still trying to gather himsel

    Nathan leaned back in his chair, calm as ever, a faint smirk playing at the corners of his lips. He glanced at me, waiting for my reaction, his eyes glinting with amusement as if this were all just another game.I slowly lifted the cup to my lips, taking a small, deliberate sip of the coffee, savouring the moment. All eyes were on us now.I could see that. Lisa was still trembling, Pachi was frozen in the corner, Carlos was fuming with rage and I clearly do not understand why, though I loved itMy Nathan, as always, was calm and in control. He looked at Carlos as if he was not there. “Hope you are enjoying yourself? I want you to be comfortable and make sure you are not disturbed in any way.”I loo

    Nathan took me to one of his hotels. As we entered the hotel, it was as if we had stepped into another world, one bathed in luxury and elegance. Marble floors gleamed beneath our feet, reflecting the soft glow of crystal chandeliers that hung like luminous stars from the vaulted ceiling. The air was perfumed with a delicate scent of orchids, adding a touch of nature to the opulent surroundings.Nathan walked beside me, his presence commanding yet reassuring. Every member of the hotel staff seemed to know him by name, bowing slightly as we passed. It was easy to see how each staff showed him reverence, their smiles genuine but mixed with the awe reserved for someone of his stature."Are you okay?" he asked gently for what seemed like the hundredth time. His voice, deep and smooth, cut through the splendour around us, grounding me amid

I could feel his gaze like a physical touch, burning across my skin as I let the moment build, savouring the tension.I looked at him with a sly smile. “ You have not placed your order,” I said.He smiled back. “You’ve already collected payment.”‘Hmm, okay relax and try not to laugh this time,” I replied.“You have my word,” he said.With a subtle touch of my hand, I reached for the theater system and dimmed the ligh

    I looked at Nathan, still processing everything he'd shared about Katrina, and then, almost without thinking, I asked, “Why do you want me to work for you?”Nathan didn’t look up right away. He kept his eyes on his phone, scrolling as if the question didn’t require much thought. After a few moments, he paused, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Then he said, in that smooth, composed way of his, “You can choose, either work for me or keep making love to me.”I blinked, completely taken aback. “What?” I said, more out of disbelief than anything else.He finally looked up, that mischievous glint in his eyes. “You heard me,” he said, his tone playful but with an edge of seriousness. “One or the other

    As we prepared to leave the room, a playful thought crossed my mind, and I couldn’t help but voice it. “So, are you stylishly throwing me out?” I teased, raising an eyebrow as I looked at him.Nathan chuckled, a warm smile spreading across his face. “Not at all. In fact, I think you should check the wardrobes,” he replied, gesturing toward the elegant wooden doors that lined the wall.My curiosity heightened as I walked over to the wardrobes and opened them, my breath catching in my throat. Inside, I found a treasure trove of dresses, very beautiful designers and makes of all types, beckoning me to try them on. But it was the sight of a wristwatch tucked neatly on a shelf that truly captured my attention.I picked it up, my heart racing as I not

Did you see the way he looked at me?”Nathan chuckled, a playful sparkle in his eye. “Oh, he’s not supposed to like you. You took his job, remember?”“What do you mean? Are you actually going to sack him?” I asked, half-expecting a serious response.He shook his head, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Not at all. I just made him the Managing Director of one of my firms.”I blinked in surprise. “Wait, what? You’re serious?”

    I pushed back from his hold and sat down. Nathan stood there, his arms folded across his chest, the tension between us thick enough to cut with a knife. I got up and took a hesitant step closer, searching his eyes for a change of emotion, of vulnerability, anything to bridge the growing tension between us. I tilted my head up and leaned in, intending to kiss him, to remind him of what we had. But before our lips could meet, he turned his head away, leaving me hanging in an awkward limbo.The rejection hit me like a slap. I took a step back, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment and anger. “What’s going on with you, Nathan?” I demanded, my voice sharp. “Why are you pulling away from me?”He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as if trying to stave off a headache. “Mel, it’s not you. It’s... complicated.”“Complicated?” I repeated, incredulous. “What’s complicated about this? About us? You say you care about me, but you won’t even let me get close to you anymore.

    Nathan arrived at my father’s house just after sunset, his presence commanding even in the dimly lit surroundings. I had been pacing the living room, a swirl of emotions gripping me, confusion, frustration, and a growing sense of unease. When he walked in, he gave me a soft smile, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.“You said it was urgent,” he said, shrugging off his coat and laying it across the back of the couch. “What’s going on?”I motioned for him to sit, but he remained standing, his posture rigid. I decided to get straight to the point. “I spoke to Alex today.”That got his attention. His brows furrowed, and his jaw tightened. “Alex?”“Yes,” I confirmed, crossing my arms. “He told me a lot of things, Nathan. About you, about him, about Katrina.”Nathan sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “What did he say this time?”I stepped closer, my voice steady but tinged with urgency. “He said you betrayed him. That you pushed him out of the business and took his shares, he said that’s

    The café was bustling that morning, filled with customers' chatter and cups clinking. I pushed the door open, the little bell above it jingling softly, and immediately scanned the room. There they were, Steve and Lisa, sitting together in a corner booth, heads close as if sharing some secret. My blood boiled at the sight. Steve had no business being here, especially not with Lisa.I walked briskly to their table, my heels clicking sharply against the tiled floor. Steve looked up, a smirk spreading across his face as he saw me approach. Lisa, on the other hand, looked uneasy, her eyes darting between Steve and me.“What are you doing here, Steve?” I asked, my voice low but firm.He leaned back in his chair, feigning nonchalance. “Having a cup of coffee, Mel. Last I checked, this was a public place.”I ignored his sarcasm and turned to Lisa. “You shouldn’t be here with him. Do you know how dangerous this is? If Carlos sees the two of you together, there will be trouble.”Lisa looked awa

    The weight of the day's events bore down on me as I paced in the penthouse, waiting for Nathan to come back from his meeting. My hands were trembling slightly, and my mind raced with thoughts of Katrina’s betrayal. She had set me up in the worst possible way. How could someone stoop so low? The knock on the door snapped me out of my spiralling thoughts.I opened it to find Nathan standing there, his face a mixture of concern and determination. “Mel,” he said softly, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. “What happened?”I took a deep breath and launched into the story, my words tumbling out in a torrent of frustration and fear. “I went to Katrina’s place to try and talk to her, Nathan. I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could reason with her. I begged her to drop the suit, to stop all of this madness. But she wouldn’t listen. She accused me of taking everything from her, her life, her marriage, her dignity.”Nathan’s jaw tightened, and his blue eyes darkened with anger. “G

    As I stepped into the courthouse that morning, a sense of unease prickled at the back of my neck. Nathan and his lawyer had assured me this would be a standard procedural hearing, a step in the long and drawn-out divorce battle Katrina had initiated. Yet, the moment I entered the courtroom and locked eyes with Katrina, I knew something was off. Her expression wasn’t just cold; it was triumphant, a look that sent a chill down my spine.The judge called the session to order, and Katrina’s lawyer wasted no time. His voice was sharp and deliberate as he addressed the court."Your Honour, before we proceed, my client would like to call an additional witness to provide relevant testimony to this case. We call Merylyn—" he paused for effect and then said my full name.I froze. My heart stopped for a moment before racing wildly. A murmur rippled through the courtroom. Nathan turned to look at me, his face etched with shock and anger. His lawyer immediately stood to object.“Your Honour, this

    When I returned from my meeting with Katrina, the weight of her words and the tension between us still lingered in my mind. I walked into Nathan’s office, where he sat at his desk, his brow furrowed in deep concentration. Papers and documents were spread out before him, and his phone was buzzing incessantly with messages and calls. His usually calm charisma was replaced by an intensity that made the air in the room feel charged.He looked up as I entered, and his expression softened slightly, though the edge of his stress remained. "You’re back," he said, his voice low but tinged with curiosity. "How did it go?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to divulge. “It was… enlightening,” I began carefully, placing the divorce papers I’d copied onto his desk. “Katrina didn’t know Alex was in town. She was genuinely shocked when I mentioned him.”Nathan’s eyes narrowed, and he leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled. “Shocked, huh? Or just playing dumb?”“No, Nathan,” I said

    I was silent for a moment, letting her words sink in. I had always known Katrina had a tough exterior, but hearing the raw emotion in her voice made me realize how much she had been holding in. She wasn’t just fighting for herself or Nathan or even the business. She was fighting for her place in a world that had never given her the respect she deserved.But this wasn’t the way.“I get it, Katrina,” I said softly, my voice gentle. “But this isn’t the answer. You’re hurting Nathan, and you’re hurting yourself. Don’t let Alex control you like this. Please, just think about it. Think about what you’re really doing here. Is this really what you want?”Katrina’s face twitched, and for a brief moment, I thought she might break down. But instead, she took a deep breath, straightened her posture, and walked toward the window. She didn’t say anything for a long while, and the silence between us felt heavy, almost suffocating.Finally, she spoke, her voice much quieter than before. “You’re right

    I sat on the couch, the envelope from Katrina trembling slightly in my hands. I had known this moment was coming, the threats, the subtle innuendos, and Alex’s sudden reappearance in our lives, but seeing the court papers made it all too real. The words on the document were cold and clinical, and yet they felt like daggers piercing through my chest.Nathan walked into the room, his shirt slightly unbuttoned, his face betraying the weariness of a man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He took one look at my expression, and his eyes immediately darted to the envelope in my hands. Without a word, he crossed the room, sat down beside me, and gently took the papers from my hands.His jaw tightened as he scanned the document. His face, usually so composed, contorted in a mix of frustration and pain. “She’s actually doing it,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. He placed the papers on the coffee table and leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands clas

    The morning had arrived with a sense of urgency, and the office felt colder than usual. Nathan and I had just arrived, and the moment we stepped inside, I felt the weight of what was to come. There was a tension in the air that was hard to ignore, everyone seemed to sense that something big was on the horizon.I made my way straight to Rose’s desk, my heels clicking against the polished floor with each step. Rose looked up as I approached, her eyes sharp and focused, as if she had been expecting me.“Mel,” she greeted me, her voice calm but with an undertone of alertness. She was always on top of things, and I knew that she’d have something important to share.“Rose, I need to know everything. Have you heard anything about Steve and Jesse’s meetings with Alex?” I asked, my tone low but urgent. I couldn’t afford to waste time. Every second counted.Rose nodded, glancing around the office before leaning in slightly, lowering her voice as she spoke. “I overheard them, Mel. Steve and Jess
