At the living room, Although Mr Jones was listening to his friend talk, his mind was not there.
He only wanted to talk to his princess at this time, but he didn’t want to look desperate, unfortunately, Mr Davis noticed and only chuckled. “Can’t wait to chase us out right? Mr Davis teased his friend. “Exactly! Mr Jones said quickly, but immediately came back to his senses when he realized his response . He stared at Mr Davis sheepishly and coughed before saying, “sorry man, I can’t help but be worried”. “I understand “. Mr Davis said, trying to cheer up his friend. “You know, I haven’t seen her this low before, although she said she just misses me, I know it must be a lie”. Mr Jones said as he concluded. “You both really need a long conversation because she needs it”. Mr Davis said as he stared at Harris who was staring at his phone with a frown on his face. “Got any problem son? Mr David asked Harris, who said, “No Dad”. And kept on looking at his phone. Although he pretended to be on his phone, he was actually listening to their conversation that was why he furrowed his brow. Just then, he received a message from his assistant, reminding him of the meeting which was scheduled around 4:30pm. He checked the time and saw that it was 3:20pm, so he decided that it was time to leave first. He doesn’t need to come early, after all he is the CEO of the company. He just wanted to leave first because he was not putting on his business suit but rather a simple comfortable cloth since he was on a visit. He stared at Mr Jones and said, “it was nice meeting you uncle, I need to be in the office now”. “Ok my boy, you have really tried , after all you took out some time to visit this old man”. Mr Jones said as he laughed cheerfully. ‘It was worth it, after all I got to see the love of my life’. He thought but he didn’t dare to say it out loud. He just smiled and nodded at him before facing his father. “Dad, I’m going to send a driver to pick you up whenever you are done”. He said as he remembered that he actually came here with his father. “Go you stinky boy, I don’t need your help, just get me a daughter in law”. Mr Davis said as he waved his hands at him. Harris was speechless as he listened to his father’s tantrum. “Here we go again dad, I’m not interested in getting a wife any soon, so don’t bother me with that”. Harris said with a forced smile. "How can he have the heart to get married when the love of his life was already married to someone else, just the thought of it was killing him, but sadly, he couldn’t do anything to change that fact”. “You see what I’m saying, how I wish I had a lovely daughter like Rachel, I won’t even bother about you”. Mr Davis said as he laments. After that, he stared at Mr Jones with sparkling eyes and asked , “why don’t Rachel adopt me as her second father, wouldn’t that be nice? Mr Jones became speechless as he stared at his friend with a disgusting look. “Hey man, my daughter is only mine, and there will not be two fathers”. He said with a threatening look, making Harris chuckle. “My life sulks”. Mr Davis said as he slapped his thigh. Harris just stared at his father and nodded at him, before walking out of the house. “Look at him, he didn’t even wave me a goodbye, what a stinky brat”. Mr Davis said with a frown, as he remembered his friend who received a peck from his daughter earlier on. “Grow up man, you are no longer a child”. Mr Jones said as he chuckled. Harris heard his father’s words, but he didn’t bother to look back. He went outside the mansion, and saw the chauffeur who was already waiting for him. He quickly entered the SUV which was customized and sat comfortably on it. “Where to sir? The chauffeur asked with a polite voice. “To the office, and send someone to pick up my father”. He said as he rested his head on the arm rest of the car. “Ok boss”. The chauffeur said as he started the engine, and finally drove out of the mansion. Shortly after, they got to a majestic building which was standing tall in a conspicuous area. The words “DAVIS COOPERATION”. Was written boldly at the top of the building which consists of 37 floors with the last floor being the CEO office. Harris adjusted his trouser before stepping out of his car. He wasn’t prepared to be stared at as a species by his employees, so he chose to use his personal lift, which took him directly to his office. When Harris got to his office, he entered his mini apartment and went straight to the bathroom to get a soothing shower. After that, he tied a towel on his waist with water dripping on his body which made him look alluring and hot. Ladies will faint just to see his body, but sadly , he is known to be a cold boss, who only keeps a straight face. He went to his closet and selected a business suit before wearing it. After that, Harris styled his hair and sprayed his perfume for the day before leaving his mini apartment. Harris sat on his chair and decided to do some paperwork before going for the meeting. He was so lost in his work and only stopped when his assistant knocked on his door to inform him that it was done. Daniel, who was the assistant, entered his office and said in a calm voice, “sir it’s time “. “Alright”. Harris said without looking up from his system. Five minutes later, he finally stopped and stretched his hands, before handing his laptop and tab to Daniel who took it carefully from his hand. “Let’s go”. Harris said as he stood up from his chair and headed out with Daniel behind him. …….. Meanwhile, Mr Jones was finally alone as Mr Davis left about 10 minutes ago. He finally had time to go and check on his daughter. Mr Jones sighed as he climbed the stairs, heading to his daughter's room. As he got there, he noticed that her room was silent, so he gently knocked and waited for a response, but when he got no answer after knocking for a while, he became worried. Gently checking the door, he observed that it wasn’t locked, so he opened it gently and entered , that was when he relaxed when he saw her sleeping. Looking at his princess who was so calm in his sleep made him smile softly. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a whimpering sound coming from her which made him scared. He walked to her quickly when he heard her sad voice, “please don’t go…….. you used me……” “Honey, wake up”. He said as he shook her gently. “I hate you….”. She said as she gasped which scared him greatly. Rachel who was unaware of her surroundings was having a mental breakdown in her sleep. She was still in the process of memorizing what happened earlier when she was jolted awake by her father. She looked around with a weak gaze as she tried to familiarize her surroundings. But she quickly remembered that she was home, that was when she saw her father who was staring at her with concerns etched on his face. She quickly regained herself as she threw herself in father’s body with a cry. From her expression and the words she muttered, he already has an idea of what happened to his daughter. He just kept quiet as he pats his daughter while assuring her that she was ok. Meanwhile, his face was already getting cold as he recalled her words.Two hours later, Harris noticed Rachel shifting restlessly again. So he couldn’t help but ask, “Everything okay?” Rachel looked at him and whispered to him softly, “Not really babe. My hormones are doing their thing again.”“Oh,” Harris said with a knowing smile and added with a mischievous smile on his face. “Say no more darling.”He gently helped her up from the couch. “Excuse us,” he told everyone.Freda giggled knowingly while Olivia winked at her.Rachel just blushed and hid her face in Harris’s chest. Seeing their teasing look, she dragged Harris and said. “Let’s go before I melt into the floor.”With that, Harris led his wife upstairs, holding her gently but firmly, as everyone else continued chatting and playing with baby Michael in the living room.Shortly after, Harris smiled dotingly when he saw the tired look on Rachel’s face. Even though she was heavily pregnant, she still looked as beautiful as ever to him and despite her big tummy and swollen feet, her hormones had he
Months passed quickly, and now, seven months later, Rachel was feeling more frustrated than ever. She sat on the soft couch in the Davis mansion’s living room and gently rubbed her round belly with a pout on her face.“Ugh, I feel like a balloon with legs,” she muttered as she adjusted herself for the tenth time in just five minutes.Beside her, Freda whose due date was next week gave her a tired look and also adjusted her position with a small groan. “Tell me about it. I can’t even see my feet anymore, and If I drop something on the floor, it’s gone forever.” She said with a soft sigh.Rachel laughed softly, and touched her stomach with a smile. She just can’t wait to see her baby.Meanwhile, Olivia sat comfortably next to Richard and rested her head on his shoulder with a peaceful smile on her face. She was the most relaxed of them all, having given birth to a healthy baby boy just last month. Mr. Jones was holding little Michael with both hands, as he wore a proud smile that rea
“At first, I didn’t care,” Linda continued with a fake sweet tone. “But then two weeks later, I got a message from an unknown number.”Her smile turned cruel. “Guess what it was?” She said,“What?” Matthew asked slowly, his voice low.“Pictures, videos, oh! and a full sex tape which was uncut,” she said with a smug grin. “You really should be more careful with your choice of mistresses.” She said with a smile on her face.Matthew’s face turned red, thinking she was lying, he shouted, “You lying snake”.But Linda, who was not bothered, leaned forward and rested her elbows on the table. “Lying? Please. You looked real good on top of her”. She said and added a lie, “I even showed it to my neighbor, she rated your performance a 4 out of 10.”“You disgusting..” Matthew growled, but Linda cut him off.“No, you are disgusting,” she snapped angrily and continued, “You think you are a saint? You cheated first, while I sat at home like a fool”. She lied again, unwilling to admit defeat.“You c
Matthew was still locked up in his house the next day and was lying on the couch like a broken man. His eyes were half open as he stared blankly at his ceiling. Bottles of alcohol were still everywhere as the whole living room smelled of liquor.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door which made him drown his face.He blinked his eyes slowly but he didn’t move, instead he grumbled angrily, “Who the hell is knocking?No one had visited him in weeks and honestly, he believed everyone had forgotten he existed. So why now?This time around, the knocking got louder which made him irritated and impatient.“Argh! Can’t a man rot in peace?” he growled and sat up slowly, as he rubbed his face with both hands. His head was pounding from all the alcohol, so when he stood up, he staggered and walked to the door, not even bothering to look through the peephole.With a heavy sigh, he opened the door, but his expression changed instantly when he saw who was knocking.Standing at the door were tw
That night, he began thinking about Rachel.He remembered how he treated her like trash, always shouting at her, giving her most of the company work he can’t do and blaming her for things she knew nothing about. Now, she is the CEO of Helix Conglomerate, the most powerful company in the country, and worse of it all, he just discovered that she is married to Harris Davis.“If I had just treated her right,” he muttered, shaking his head. “I would have been eating and spending money right now without doing anything while she runs the business”Then, as if someone had just punched him in the chest, another bitter memory hit him.What made everything worse for Matthew was that the business trip he had pinned all his hopes on completely failed.When he got the call from Davis Corporation about the collapse, he was in disbelief. He had worked so hard and spent so much. He didn’t waste time and rushed straight to the project site.But what he met there shook him to his core.The building h
Matthew sat in his living room with dull and bloodshot eyes as he stared at the broken bottles scattered across the floor.The stench of alcohol filled the air as his clothes were soaked and drenched with liquor. Staring at this, he wore a mocking look as he lifted another half empty bottle, and kept it back on the floor.Ever since he lost everything, drinking had become his only hobby. The memories of his downfall were a nightmare for him which kept hunting him every now and then.. It felt like just yesterday when he had it all, his company and influence. But now, all he had was nothing.His company was gone, his pride and dignity were shattered. And worst of all, he was now alone.A few months ago, when he traveled out of the country to negotiate directly with his suppliers, Cherry had begged to come along. Foolishly, because of the great sex she gives, he agreed. Linda, who was also feeling down, had pleaded to go with him too. But he looked her in the eye and told her he di
