Andrew's POV “Our projections show that the Eastern market isn’t just an opportunity—it’s a necessity for our continued growth,” I said, looking around the boardroom at the expectant faces of the board members as I continued.“This expansion is crucial if we want to stay ahead of our competitors and secure our position globally.”Mr. Kensington, one of the oldest board members, adjusted his glasses and leaned forward. “Mr. Andrew, your proposal is good and solid, but with the political instability in that region, are we not taking a significant risk? How do you plan to navigate those uncertainties?”I expected this question. “Your concerns are valid, Mr. Kensington,” I responded calmly. “We’ve developed contingency plans to address potential disruptions. Our legal team is coordinating with local partners to ensure compliance and mitigate risks. We’ve also diversified our investments across multiple markets to cushion any potential setbacks.”The board members exchanged glances, noddi
Andrew's POVThe police station felt suffocating, every breath I took feeling heavier than the last. As I entered the interrogation room, my eyes locked onto the young woman sitting at the table. She looked frail, like a ghost of someone who had once been full of life with her pale skin and her hair which was a mess of tangled strands. She looked like a girl in her early twenties, but her eyes—they were dark, hollow, and filled with something I couldn’t name. Something that made me feel like I was staring into an abyss.James was standing in the corner, his gaze fixed on her. I moved toward him, my voice barely a whisper. "How did you find her? Are you sure she's the one we’ve been looking for?""She's the prime suspect. She was caught in Dante’s ward," James replied, his tone grave. "Pretending to be a nurse. She had a syringe and tried to inject Dante before the security guards noticed the abnormality and rushed to stop her—doctors said it was lethal."My stomach churned. I turned
Sheila's POVI slowly walked around the living room, the phone pressed against my ear as Andrew’s grandmother’s warm voice filled the line. I could almost see her sitting in her favorite chair, a gentle smile on her face as she spoke. “Sheila, my dear, I just spoke to a very good friend of mine who happens to be one of the best event planners in the country. She'll be coming with her group of experts to help you plan the company gala so you won't have to stress yourself too much.” she said. “You’ll be in charge of managing them, and they’ll take care of the rest.”I hesitated, my fingers tracing the edge of the couch as I sat on it. “Grandma, I’m not sure I’m the right person for this. It’s such a huge responsibility, and I’ve never done anything like this before. What if I make a mistake? What if I screw things up? I wouldn't want to disappoint you and Grandpa.”Grandma chuckled softly. “You’re worrying too much, Sheila. I have complete faith in you. The experts will handle the tech
Andrew's POVI drove into the house, my head still buzzing from everything that happened at the police station. The stress was just overwhelming, and all I wanted was a moment of peace. But instead, I stepped into a scene filled with chaos.Gwen was in the center of it, her face red with fury as she pointed fingers and shouted at Sheila. My eyes darted to Sheila, who stood a few steps back, looking shocked and confused. Anna was trying to keep Gwen from getting too close, acting as a human shield for Sheila while Alfred looked confused, battling whether to interfere in what seemed to be a women's war zone.“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!!!” I barked, my voice cutting through the air like a knife. The anger in my tone surprised even me, but I couldn’t help it—everything was just too much.The chaos froze. Everyone turned to look at me, the sudden silence thick with anticipation. Gwen’s eyes widened as she noticed my presence, and for a moment, she looked like a charged wild animal. B
Phoebe’s POVI paced around my room, my heart pounding with frustration. The phone rang in my hand, and I anxiously waited for my mother to pick up. When her voice finally came through, I couldn’t hold back my emotions any longer.“Mom, I can’t take it anymore. Please convince Dad to come and get me out of here,” I blurted out, my voice trembling. “Antonio doesn’t care about me. He parades his whores around like I’m nothing. He brags about how they satisfy him well and often compares me to them. I’m tired of being treated this way!”My mother’s voice was calm on the other end, almost too calm. “Phoebe, you need to calm down. Leaving Antonio isn’t an option right now.”“But why not?” I felt my throat tighten. “I can’t live like this anymore! Don’t tell me you can’t convince Dad. He listens to you; talk to him! I can’t believe you would leave me to suffer here all alone. Please, Mom!”Tears stung my eyes as I pleaded with her. At first, I was mad at her for supporting Dad, but now she w
Phoebe’s POV(Warning: Mature content 18+)I watched as Sherry and Allison climbed into bed together, exchanging a knowing glance before Sherry passionately kissed Allison and their moans filled the room.The intensity of their kiss—the way their tongues entwined, battling for dominance—sent a jolt of shock through me. I stood there, frozen in place, unable to move or look away.I'd seen countless p*rn scenes on my phone, but this—watching two women together—was something entirely different. The raw, unfiltered emotion of it stirred something deep within me, something I hadn't expected.No! What was I thinking? I wasn't a lesbian, and the thought had never even crossed my mind. So why was watching them feel so... thrilling? The confusion gnawed at me, but the excitement coursing through my veins was undeniable.I forced myself to turn my head away, my hands trembling as I tried to regain control of my thoughts. This wasn't right."You need to watch, Phoebe," Sherry's voice broke throu
Phoebe’s POV(Warning: Mature content 18+)They gently pushed me onto the bed, Sherry climbing on top of me and positioning her pu**y against mine."I want you to feel and enjoy the pleasure," Allison commanded, her voice firm. "Don't think about anything else—just enjoy it.”Sherry began to move, grinding her pu**y against mine. The sensation was unlike anything I'd ever felt. It was foreign, strange, but undeniably pleasurable. As she moved faster, rubbing against me in a circular motion, I felt heat pooling in my core. I found myself grabbing her waist, instinctively grinding back, lost in the rhythm.Allison joined in, grabbing my breasts and sucking on them, sending waves of pleasure through me. I moaned, the sound surprising me as much as the intensity of what I was feeling.I was so over the moon as I had been sex starved for quite a while now. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more intense, Sherry switched positions, placing me on top of her."I want you to give me maxim
Andrew's POV The office was quiet, almost too quiet. The soft hum of the computer and the distant ticking of the clock were the only sounds as I stared at the papers on my desk. These documents weren’t just random papers—they were contracts, deals I had fought so hard to secure. Now, they were at risk of being taken away from me, and I couldn’t figure out why.The door opened, and I looked up to see Zane walking in. His face looked serious, and I knew whatever he was about to say wasn’t good news.“What do you have for me?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm, though worry was gnawing at me.Zane handed me a stack of papers, his hand steady but his eyes troubled. “It's still the new, strange company in town,” he said. “They’re causing a lot of trouble in the industry. They’ve successfully poached another contract from some of our clients and are moving quickly to establish and assert their dominance.”I flipped through the documents, recognizing the names of clients we had worked
Phoebe’s POVThe men’s taunts and shoves suddenly stopped, replaced by an angry shout. "Turn off those damn bright lights!" one of them yelled.The harsh, blinding beam of a car’s headlights cut through the alley like a spotlight, and I had to squint against the glare. The three men cursed, stumbling back, clearly irritated."Hey, you! Get out of here with that light!" one of them yelled. I didn’t waste a second. With all the desperation I felt in my chest, I screamed, "Help! Please, help me!"The car’s headlights were so bright, I couldn’t see the driver at all—just the silhouette of someone sitting behind the wheel. The men looked at each other, muttering curses before taking a few steps back, clearly annoyed but not ready to give up.I could barely breathe in the tense silence, but I was just so relieved that they were backing off. It was a small victory, but it was enough to make me feel a flicker of hope. I had to get away—get to safety before they changed their minds.Then the c
Phoebe’s POV Carla’s face burned with rage as she stormed toward Rachel, grabbing her by the hair and yanking hard. “You think I wouldn’t find out? You’ve been sneaking around with my husband!” Rachel yelped, struggling to free herself. “You’re crazy! Let go of me, Carla! What the hell is wrong with you?!” The chaos erupted as other staff members tried to intervene. One of them, Lily, Rachael's best friend, stepped forward and slapped Carla hard across the face. “Enough, Carla! Stop acting like this is Rachel’s fault! Your husband doesn’t even love you—he’s only sticking around for the kids!” Carla froze for a moment, her face contorting with fury. “How dare you say that to me? He told you that crap? So, you've also been sleeping with my husband?!” she hissed before lunging at Lily. The room descended into utter chaos as Carla clawed at Rachel and then turned on Lily, who shoved her back. “Get off me, you fat pig!” Rachel shouted, pushing Carla away. The staff scrambled t
Phoebe’s POVI had barely taken a few steps when I slipped on the spilled water on the floor, losing my balance and crashing to the ground. The crash of the glass milkshake I was holding hitting the floor echoed like thunder. I stood frozen, staring at the mess. The thick, sticky liquid spread across the floor, and I could feel my heart sink.Who the hell had spilled water here?!“Phoebe!” My boss’s sharp voice cut through the air like a knife. He was fuming, his face red with frustration. “What the hell is wrong with you? How many times do I have to tell you to be careful?”I opened my mouth to apologize, but he was already shaking his head in disgust.“Get the mop and clean this up, now! I don't want to hear any of your silly excuses,” He ordered. His tone was harsher than usual, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks.These past weeks had been nothing short of a nightmare. It felt like trouble followed me wherever I went. Just last week, I was blamed for serving a customer t
Sheila's POVI was in my room with Mom, carefully organizing the clothes Granny had recently bought for me. There were so many that I wondered when I would have the chance to wear them all. I kept telling her I had enough, but my sweet Granny wouldn't hear of it. "Sheila," Mom began, her voice gentle yet curious, "I've noticed Andrew dropping you off quite often lately. Are you two back together?" A warm blush immediately crept up my cheeks. I paused, folding a shirt, and then replied, "We're just taking things slowly, Mom. One step at a time." She looked at me with a knowing smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "I see," she said, her tone teasing. "Well, if you're really sure about giving Andrew another chance, then I give you my blessings." I felt a surge of happiness and gratitude. I walked over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. "Thank you, Mom. You've always stood by me, and I can't express how much that means to me." She pulled back slightly, holding my hands i
Andrew's POVA few weeks had passed since the chaos surrounding Therese and everything else had settled. Alfred was back to work after being suspended for weeks without pay, and things with Sheila had been going progressively smoothly. I had been buried in work, the weight of the business constantly hanging over my head. As I sat in my office, typing away on my laptop, a sharp knock on the door interrupted my concentration. Before I could respond, the door swung open, and my parents entered. My secretary rushed in after them, looking flustered. It was obvious she had tried to stop them, but they were having none of it. "Andrew," my father called out, his tone already tinged with annoyance. My mother followed behind him, her expression unreadable but no less intense. My secretary stepped into my office and began to explain. "I... I apologize, Mr. Walker. They insisted on seeing you immediately," she said nervously. "They refused to wait for me to inform you before they barged i
Sheila's POVAs the plane touched down in the city, I felt a sense of relief mixed with anxiety. We were finally back, but the weight of everything that had happened still loomed over me. As soon as the plane’s door opened, the cold rush of air hit us, and I could see the flashing lights of police cars waiting on the tarmac. They were already here, prepared for whatever would unfold next. As we began to step off the plane, the sound of raised voices reached us. Turning around, I saw Andrew's guards holding Anna back, their grip firm as she struggled against them. "Please, I just need to talk to her!" Anna cried out desperately, her voice trembling. "I promise I don't mean any harm!"Andrew’s expression darkened as he stepped forward. “Take her away,” he ordered, his tone cold and unyielding. “I don’t want to see her again.” “No! Please, Mistress, just a moment! I need to say something to you,” Anna pleaded, her voice growing louder. Her tear-filled eyes met mine, and the despe
Sheila's POVI didn’t know where Andrew was taking me, but I could see how furious and upset he was. His mood was dark, and I could feel the weight of his emotions without him saying a word to me. I didn’t even ask. There was something about him that made me want to follow quietly, unsure how I was going to calm him down, and not wanting to make his mood worse. He led me to a secluded part of the plane, a small, well-decorated room that looked almost like a personal cabin. Before I could ask any questions, Andrew shut the door behind us. His eyes, filled with a storm of emotions, met mine for a brief moment before he suddenly pulled me into his arms. I froze, caught off guard by the suddenness of his embrace. He pressed his head against my shoulder, holding me tightly as though trying to find some comfort. We stood there for a few seconds, both unsure of what to do. Hesitantly, I began to pat his back, uncertain of how to respond. “They turned against me! I trusted them so muc
Andrew’s POV I was trying so hard to understand what I had just heard. Anna, the woman who had served me so faithfully all these years, had been hiding something this massive from me. How could Therese be Anna's daughter? I stared at her, disbelief flooding my veins. I hadn’t known Anna had a child, let alone one who was working in my mansion under false pretenses. “What’s going on, Anna?” I asked, my voice thick with anger and confusion. “How is it possible that your daughter has been working here without my knowledge?” Anna’s face twisted with a mix of guilt and fear, tears welling up in her eyes. She had never been one to break down easily, but this time, it was different. “She’s not really my daughter, Master,” Anna explained shakily, her voice quivering. “She’s my late twin sister’s child… I raised her as my own after my sister passed away. I’ve done everything I could to give her a good life, everything. I sent money whenever I could, supported her when she needed it. I
Andrew's POV“Double-check everything,” I instructed the housekeeper over the phone. “The villa needs to be ready when we arrive, and I want the staff there briefed. No room for error.” “Yes, Sir. Everything is confirmed,” the voice on the other end said. “Good,” I replied with a nod before hanging up. It had taken a lot of effort to organize this, but I knew it would definitely be worth it. I turned to Alfred. “Are the movement schedules finalized? And the cars we'll be using once we land?” He nodded. “Yes, Master. Everything has been arranged as per your instructions. Everything has been confirmed.” “Excellent,” I replied, leaning slightly against the window frame. I allowed myself a small smile, one of satisfaction. The truth was, I knew Sheila wouldn’t have come willingly if I had asked her outright. She would’ve found an excuse, some way to evade me. That’s why I had to take matters into my own hands. It wasn’t ideal, but it was necessary. Alfred tilted his head, ob
