Driving from the bar to Sandra's apartment takes more than half an hour. As I tried to get rid of my thoughts about Anna, I recalled my memory about how me and Sandra met for the first time. Back then, when I was an undergraduate, I met Sonia Johansson, who dated my roommate. We quickly became friends until we graduated, but I lost contact with her because she moved to Moscow and started to work there. In Moscow, Sonia met Sandra Illinov and became best friends. Sonia and Sandra were working in the same company, a big famous oil company in Russia as marketing staff. After spending years in Moscow, both of them resigned and got a job in one of the gas companies in the UK, and got stationed in London.
One night, I went to the bar and there was a wom
I walked to the hotel with a big smile. It wasn’t hard to get close to Fai. I am happy and I can’t wait to execute my plan for Fai and Damian. Actually, about Fai, he is an easy going person, I think I can get along with him easily in the future. I can’t wait to tell Isla about my first meeting with Fai and discuss my plan for him and Damian.The next day, Fai and I met in the meeting and we spent the whole week on the same meetings. Well, don’t be shocked, it was actually on my plan. Since I accidentally saw him with Damian that night at the bar, I hired people to find out about Fai and I asked Isla to slip in Fai’s company profile on the list for the project and Mr Muller picked them as one of our partners. When he saw me, he was surprised and how silly Fai thought that this was a coincidence.During a week-long meeti
“What are you doing?” Laura pulled me from Olivia and landed a hard slap on her right cheek“Olivia! Are you okay?” I asked since I saw her cheek became red instantly“Fai! Why are you on her side? You’re my boyfriend!” Laura went mad“Laura, behave! You’re overacting…..” I snapped her and turned to Olivia who kept silent“Olivia, I am sorry, she is…..” I hadn't finished speaking when she cut me and said, “You date someone like her? She behaves like a barbaric one! You deserve better!”“What did you say?” Laura said loudly and Olivia ignored her, she took a money from her purse and left us 
I drove my car faster since I want to meet Anna, particularly because I want to talk with her about Sandra. I think she is the right person I should talk with since I can’t do it with Sonia who will be on Sandra’s side.I arrived around 9.15 am at Hyde Park. Soon, Anna and Ben arrived and we headed to the park, settled near the pond.“Ben, play here first! Mommy and uncle Damian will arrange the carpet,” Anna told her son“Okay, mommy!”We put the carpet on the grass and as we finished with it, I saw Fai came. It surprised me that he brought a woman with him and I knew who she was.“Hey, sorry I am late!” Fai greeted us
It surprised me that the woman and the boy who was previously with Fai in Harry's picture were there. Her name is Anna. She is more beautiful than in the picture, I admit. I previously thought she is Fai’s ex and Ben, her son, is his son but then I heard Ben called Fai ‘uncle’ so it means they’re just friends.Damian’s face when he saw me walk in with Fai, was priceless. I secretly happy seeing his surprised face and worse, I went further by pretending I didn’t know him. Actually, that’s not on the plan, but I want to test his reaction, especially after he saw me with Fai. I secretly hope he will get jealous but then what I got isn’t what I expected. Instead of Damian, I am the one who got jealous. The way he looked at Anna, somehow I feel he has feelings for her. I remembered, from the picture, the way Fai looked at Anna is similar to the way Damian lo
Working on the same project with Olivia made it inevitable for not spending time more with her and I realized that I spent more time with her, both in the office and outside, just for coffee or drink at the bar.Unlike other girls with social status like her who are usually into expensive things and high maintenance, I consider her as an easy-going person who likes simplicity. She is different and I like that.I don’t know if I started to grow feelings toward her, after all I spent more time with her than with my girlfriend, Laura. But so far, we're friends, nothing more. This week, both of us need to fly to New York for the Annual Consortium Meeting. I offered to fly with me instead of using a separate jet and she agreed. Jack, Olivia, Isla and I departed from London on Friday. We will spend the weekend for leisure and attend the meeting on M
I went to the bar to see Fai, wanting to get an update on my mom. It was around 10 minutes, Fai came in. “Sorry I’m late!” Fai said as he sat next to me “How’s mom?” I asked directly “She fainted and luckily Daniel found her when he visited her, so he brought her to the hospital. The doctor said she has low blood pressure.” “What? Low blood pressure?” I was panicking “Don’t worry! I hired a new maid to accompany mom. I think she needs someone next to her, not only to help her but also to watch her, because you know, we’re here!” “I haven’t ……” I was about to discuss about moving back to SF but then a woman interrupted us
I spent the whole weekend in New York drinking alone. I was surprised, depressed and lost, after knowing Fai and Damian are brothers. I feel like there's no way to turn back and start from the beginning again. All my plans fell apart. I can say Damian is a good man and I am sure he won’t go back to me when he knows I am with his brother, Fai. Now, I don’t know what I should do? End my game with Fai and pursue Damian or continue the plan since I need more information about Damian, Anna and others.I remembered that I will be here the whole week, in New York, with Fai and I definitely couldn’t abandon him. Things got worse when I was drunk and went too far with him. I might not liking him but I wouldn’t lie that sex with him was great. It’s been a while, I haven’t felt like this, since my last one was with Damian.&
I was about to meet up with Olivia but then I drove my car to Anna’s penthouse. I don’t know what’s going on, but she begged me to come over soon and told me to keep it a secret from Olivia. It was around 10 minutes later, I knocked Anna’s door and saw Mary who quickly informed me that Anna was waiting for me in the garden. I went to the garden and was surprised that Damian was there with Anna and Ben.“You’re here!” Anna sighed“Baby, go find Mary and play with her, okay?” Anna turned to Ben“But mommy, why are uncle Damian and Fai here? Aren’t we going to play or something?”“Baby, later! Mommy has something to discuss with uncle!” Anna told Ben and with sad face
I saw Damian from far away, touching Olivia’s headstone. I took a deep breath and released it. ‘It’s over, Fai!’ I told myself. My eyes stared blankly at the open space of the cemetery. ‘Olivia, I won’t forget you!’ I whispered to the wind I got into my car and waited for Damian inside. When I saw Damian walking toward me, I got a text. It is Brian. ‘Endgame?’ ‘Yeah!’ I replied Damian opened the door and sat on the passenger seat. We left the cemetery, heading to the southeast. I drove the car for like an hour and we arrived at a vineyard. Both of us took off our suit and put it in the car. “It’s so quiet here,” I said as I sipped my wine
I dropped the tray in my hands and screamed, “Olivia…..”I saw Olivia was confused and I quickly ran to call the servants. Two servants came and were shocked to find Olivia laid on the floor full of blood.“Tell the driver to meet me in the lobby. One of you will go with me to the hospital. We need to bring her there,” I told the servantsOlivia’s condition is too weak, she wants to speak up but she has no energy to do it. I left her for an hour and that’s enough to make her lose some blood. I brought her to the ER and it was like half an hour later, the doctor who examined her walked out.“How’s she?” I put a fake panicked expression“
Going for a check up alone, again. I really hate doing it, especially this is Fai's child, not Damian’s. I need to wait and be patient, I will get rid of this baby later after I make Damian marry me. I already planned it, after we married, I will pretended I experience miscariage and I’ll have our own child for real, not this fake child. As usual, it didn’t take long for me to check up, I went to the office and was surprised when Isla wasn’t there. I was about to get my phone to call her, but then I got a text from her. She said she suddenly needed to go back to her hometown, her dad was sick. I quickly replied to her, telling it is okay, I can carry things alone here during her absence. A week later, I got a text from Damian, telling me he has come back. I was overjoyed, especially because he t
I stood near the window, my eyes looking at the river in front of the office building blankly. I noticed Anna walked in and she hugged me from behind. She didn’t say anything, we stayed silent for a while. Anna’s arms warm me inside. I didn’t turn around to face her, but then I said, “Don’t ask me to forgive Damian.” Anna released her arms, she sighed, then said, “You can't walk around telling people what to do with their feelings. You can’t control others, you know that!” “One thing, Damian is like my own family. If you ask me to cut my ties with him, you’ll be disappointed!” She walked out, leaving me alone “You!!!” I turned around seeing her walking out “Go ahead! Want to pick a fight with me? That’s what you want, right? Mad at Damian clearly isn’t en
Spending time with Ben and Brian really helped me to heal from the previous incident. It was our last day in Davos and I suddenly got a text from Damian. He wants to meet me alone and I agreed to have lunch with him soon after I arrive. However, I was surprised when in the next text, he told me to keep it away from Brian.‘What’s going on?’ I was wonderingBrian paid bodyguards to watch me and Ben and I was thinking it a little bit disturbing and I believe Damian won’t like it. Then I texted him to meet up in the office instead, easier for us to talk in my room. Earlier, Brian against the idea that I went to the office but I successfully persuaded him. We’re going to the office together and he said goodbye to me by giving a quick kiss when the elevator’s door opened.A
I just got up from my bed, about to go to the toilet when my phone suddenly rang. I grabbed my phone from the table and saw Damian's name on the screen.“Morning, Damian!” I said lazily“What? Why?” He asked me to come to an address, I was confused“Alright! In half an hour I’ll be there,” I told him and he cut the callI was wondering what’s happening. During my drive, my thoughts wandered, thinking about why Damian asked me to go to an apartment complex. As I parked my car, I got a text from him informing the apartment unit. In less than 10 minutes, I knocked on the door and heard someone walking to open the door, it was Damian. When I walked inside, it surprised me when I found Isla was there, tied in the cha
I can’t wait around and just wait to get an update from Fai about people he paid to watch Olivia. I need to do something! I whispered to myself. I strongly thought that it was her, who was behind all of this. Maybe it is silly if we thought she did it because she was mad Anna knew her plan, but I guess it is beyond it and surely has to do with my love toward Anna.On my balcony, I spent my afternoon watching the sunset while my thoughts wandered. Why is it hard to catch them? To catch Olivia? I asked myself and suddenly I found the answer. She or the robbers were well prepared, they knew earlier that we would catch them. I think she will try to show her alibi and with that it is hard for us to get her. Yes! Except……..I smiled, ‘Except we made her reveal it!’Fai asked people to watch her and I bet she is well prepared for i
Hearing the full story of the incident really crushed my heart into pieces. The most important person in this life, my precious one, is experiencing such a tragic and awful incident like that, it really hurts my heart the most. I promised to myself that I will find them and make them pay. No, I won’t forgive them! I will make them beg until they don’t want to live anymore.It’s been a week and today, Anna is allowed to leave the hospital. We went back to the penthouse and I can see how happy Ben was seeing his mommy finally at home.“Mommy….” He shouted happily“My baby!” Anna quickly hugged himI smiled when I saw that both of them were hugging each other. Suddenly I got an idea, I left them and ma
“What did you say? They lost her?” I was angry after Harry updated me about the plan messed up“How come you ask me to stay calm if the men you had paid can’t do the job properly?” I snapped him“What? They stabbed and beat her?” I smiled immediately“Good! Tell them to leave the country soon!” I reminded Harry“One more thing, Harry! You better leave for a while, go on vacation or something at least a week or more, then you can continue with new plan on Sandra,” I told him“Okay! Good job! Bye…” I pressed end button on my phoneI smiled widely, even though they failed to kill her, at least they s
