CORAI parked my car in the parking lot and quickly headed toward the CEO's elevator. Reign had told me to only use it while going up so I would feel at ease.I closed my eyes when I got into the elevator. I found myself shaking and feeling nauseous but I couldn't tell if it was because I was taking the elevator alone or because I was late on my first day in attorney Olsen's department.Nevertheless, I closed my eyes and leaned my back, imagining that Reign was there with me as the elevator took me to the right floor.Once I got out, I hurriedly made my way to my new office. In spite of everything, I felt excited about later sharing my love story with Emily. I could not wait to see the pleasant surprise that would appear on her face when she learned that I unintentionally caught Reign Fletcher's eye.When I entered the office, I saw the same seven faces I had seen the previous day. "Good morning, everyone," I said cheerfully.They all lifted their heads one after the other to look at
AVERY"What are you saying?" I asked Lucas. "It must have been Cora, right? She must have badmouthed me to you. Don't believe anything she says honey, you know how much I love you. I was just trying to upset her, that's all. You know I take pleasure in doing that."Lucas furrowed his brows, "Cora?"I nodded, "Yes, didn't she tell you I said I wanted Reign Fletcher and would give her to you? I was just trying to spite her. You are the only man I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. Please divorce Cora right away and let's get married."He shook his head, "It's already late, Avery. I can't do that anymore. I want Cora now. She is my wife and I will never let her go.""Don't you love me anymore?" I began to cry but he turned his face away. This was the same Lucas I had wrapped around my finger so I believed his anger was speaking because of whatever Cora must have told him.Nevertheless, I knew his weakness and decided to use it to my advantage. While tears fell from my eyes,
CORAI smiled at Reign, "I missed you so much, Reign. While in Olsen's office, I kept thinking about how happy I felt while working in your office. Even though I was doing practically nothing but stare at you, it still gave me so much joy. Didn't think I'd miss all of that so soon.""Come with me," he took me toward his chair and sat down while I sat on his thighs. His arms held me as he said, "I would ask you to come back but that would be utterly selfish of me. I want you to gain as much experience as you can. The good thing about working here is that you can handle cases as much as you want, even if they have nothing to do with the company. I will close my eyes and let Olsen have his way because someday, I want you to own your own law firm. I will make sure it happens. However, do not let anyone bully you because my heart would not bear it if I found out."I laughed, "Thanks for having big dreams for me. Right now, what matters is winning Olsen's over. Once I've done that everyth
CORA"Where are you now?" I asked Emily."Just leaving my house right now," she replied."I'll meet you in the cafe' opposite FLETCHER CONGLOMERATES in a few minutes," I said to her before hanging up.Everyone was staring at me and my hands were shaking. I could guess what Emily must have seen, as well as the culprit, but I needed to meet with her to be sure she wasn't blowing anything out of proportion because I knew she could be dramatic at times.I stared at the mess Olsen had made and quietly began to clean up the floor again. I threw the leftover coffee and all the food I had painstakingly bought inside the trash. Afterward, I tried to wipe my dress clean but the stains only got worse.How I looked at this point was the least of my problems, so I walked over to Olsen's table and said, "I am very sorry that I delayed your lunch and let you down."He looked up at me and seemed somewhat surprised by my apology. After speaking to him, I picked up my bag and walked out of the office.
REIGNI sat in my office staring at Cora's picture. Ever since she left my office, thoughts of her filled my mind and I could not focus on anything else.I was so crazy about her that I could not understand how I had lived without her all these years.Last night, I found myself feeling nervous while in her house. Almost everything she said sounded like there was an underlying meaning attached, but I had a lot of respect for her.My desires, stronger than they had ever been, propelled me to make a move on her and explore the joy and pleasures I could only find in her arms, yet I feared that she would doubt my love for her afterward. I would wait, at least until she didn't have to deal with Lucas anymore. I had also been really impressed last night.I thought she would be in tears or worse, upset because of what happened at my house, afterall, she had told me from the beginning that she didn't want to go. I had been so scared when I got out of my parents' house and learned she had left
CORAI arrived at Lucas' home and met him waiting for me in the living room."Why the hell did you not tell me you were back?" I asked."What happened to you, Cora? Have you looked at your dress?" He asked pointing at the stains on my dress."Forget about that," I replied. "It's good that you are back. Let's get divorced quickly, now as a matter of fact.""No, I can't do that," he replied.I scoffed, "Stop being so petty because I hit you in the past, Lucas. Why can't you go with me now? It's not like you're busy. Besides, how can you spend the rest of your life with Avery if you do not divorce me?"He took a step closer to me, making me uncomfortable. I was about to take a step back when he cupped my face and said, "Cora, I was wrong all this time. I was very wrong.If I had met you first before your sister, things would have turned out differently. You would have been the only one in my eyes and we would have gotten married while being so crazy in love with each other.It's not late
CORAReign dragged me toward my car which was parked inside Lucas' compound. He snatched my bag from me, took out my keys, and opened the door.At this point, Lucas who had been staring at Reign with a dumbfounded expression on his face, began to approach us with the reporters slowly tailing behind him and he also looked angry.Still without saying a word to me, Reign opened the door of my car and I quietly got in. Before Lucas could get to us, Reign had already started the car and was driving out, through the gate which he had left open.I heard Lucas scream my name but my gaze was fixed on Reign whose hands tightly held the steering. I noticed Reign's car which was parked outside Lucas' compound and wondered if he was going to leave it behind.After driving for a while, Reign stopped the car at a quiet spot and stared at me as he asked, "Why, Cora? Aren't we a team? Shouldn't we work together in times like this? Yet what did you do? You first ran to Lucas for help. What do you thin
REIGNAfter saying goodbye to Cora, I hurried into the bathroom to freshen up but not before ordering a delicious meal for both of us.The food arrived just as I got ready to leave the house. I hurried because I did not want to keep her waiting, especially since we had so much to do before the day was over. As I drove one of my cars to her house with the food on my seat, I called my assistant to find out if he had made any progress on finding the culprit who attacked Cora earlier.He said he was still on it and promised to find the criminal before the end of the day. I asked him to set up a press conference for me at eight and invite a lot of reporters. I approached Cora's house and was surprised to see a crowd gathering in front of it. My heart began to race as I feared that the man who attacked her earlier had attacked again. How could I have left her alone?I quickly stopped my car, got down, and began heading toward her door when I spotted a police vehicle driving past me.Insid
MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm
MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the
MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T
MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou
MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

LISAI reached out my hand in the morning to touch Adam but he wasn't on the bed. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone in the room.I sat up and smiled. I knew that Adam would be excited about the news I wanted to give him. From the moment I found out that there was a little life growing inside of me, I had been ecstatic and dying to tell him.However, I decided to give it a month and it was finally time. Since a month ago when Adam and I officially became a couple, he had been nothing short of sweet. He was the best man in the world and the one thing I wanted more than anything else was to spend the rest of my life with him.Our relationship had been drama-free and I couldn't be more grateful for that. At first, I feared that Clay had something up his sleeves, considering how much he used to hate Adam.Surprisingly, he had really made peace and now occasionally called to make light conversations with Adam. It made everyone happy, especially their Granny.I was even more grateful
ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along. I was upset with Clay, but a part of me still tried to forgiv
LISAI sat by the pool, feeling sad as I stared at the water.I was waiting for Clay's Granny, who had told me that she wanted to have a word with me.I was surprised by how Clay suddenly reacted. I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you. I've always been an open-minded person and I've always said that regardless of the girls my grandsons bring, I would give my blessings for them to get married because I want them to be happy.However, I want my grandsons to be at peace with each other, I want them to be happy and united
