REINAI held the design. I told Ravenna to sketch out away from my face. I stared at it, still trying to understand what she just sketched.Now, I knew that I wanted to deal with her and put her in her place with everything I had in me.But, looking at this nonsense she called a sketch made me want to humiliate her more than ever before.“Raveena,” I called her out.I noticed that she grumbled, stamping her feet on the floor before answering me. I decided to let this slide because that was not my main focus. We had a lot of work to do and this was what she was able to come up with. Quite shameful.“How did you find your way into this company? It was all through Ethan right?” I asked her, in my most calm state.“Excuse me?” she asked , raising her eyebrow.I found that very disrespecting to my office and my person. Raveena knew that I was in for her this time around and she can't escape me. Neither can she use Ethan to help her out of my hands.“I asked a question because, clearly you

REINAI saw the whole world of Raveena coming to an end as she heard that. Her break was when she went to see the love of her life, Ethan.Following him everywhere like a fly who would not leave a corpse alone. The thought of her doing that alone made my mouth bitter. I was going to do everything possible to stop them.Tears were gathering beneath her eyes and I saw as she fought them back.“What have I done to deserve this cruel treatment?” she asked as she watched her colleagues go out for a break.In her presence, I brought out my plate of chicken soup and white rice. Beside it was a fruit juice that I wanted to use to rush it down.“A lot.” I said within me, wearing a wide smile that she saw rather offensive.But, did I care? Never. I was the last person to care about what he did.“Go back to your desk and work. Remember, If those twenty sketches are not finished today, then you will sleep in the office,” I reminded her and she hit her leg on the floor like a little child.She he

ETHANIf I said I was not very impressed by what Reina showed me then it would be nothing but a lie.While I focused on the designs, my mind still drifted back to her beautiful skin and face.Why on earth did I lose this lady? She was so much invested in explaining the concept of the design to me and did not seem to give a fuck about me.But, I did give a whole lot about her. I loved her. My feelings were real and I knew that I had committed various atrocities in the past but was she going to forget about all of that?“So, that's all,” she said as she finished explaining the design that she had drafted out.I was already lost in her that I could not respond immediately. All I saw apart from the designs was her.“Ethan,” I heard my name countless times before I jolted out of my thoughts.I shook my head countless times and jerked.“I'm sorry. I'm sorry,” I apologized. She just stared at me with frustration written all over face.I knew how it felt for you to talk to a person for severa

REINA“Thank you. You guys did a great job. We will continue tomorrow,” I said,appreciating everyone's effort here with me.The whole team was doing a great job and I was very glad that we are pulling it off slowly.“But, I really wish we could work two times harder than how we are working now. This project needs to be done in no time,” I expressed my thoughts to the rest of the team standing in the same room with me.I was standing in between two mannequins that I wanted to be dressed up in this latest design. “We can. If you don't mind. We will finish these two dresses and dress the mannequins tonight so that we can show the exhibition in the fashion world before it is put up for sale,” one of the seamstresses suggested.I would have agreed to her decision but she looked tired already. They have been working all day since I brought this completed design.They all tried to get the perfect color of the materials, the gems, precious stones and everything needed for the dress all today

Ethan“Fire, fire.”I jerked the moment I heard the people in the building screaming from where I was. It all felt like a film in my eyes.The whole event flashed in my very eyes and I became so disorganized. At this time, I was in my office, going through a lot of documents that were placed on my table.The dresses that were ready were almost put out for display. We needed pictures. Not just anyhow pictures, professional pictures that would show the worth of the dress.I was still working on that when this whole shout shook me, disorganising whole thoughts.“Fire, where?” I blurted out, trying to look out of the window before taking any step. “The building. It's being razed down my fire,” one of my staff answered and without thinking twice, I dashed out of my room.The smoke coming from the fire hit my nostrils and my stomach rumbled. This was not a prank. A fire outbreak it really was.“Emergency. Call them. Tell them we have a fire in here,” I yelled at my staff who were running a

REINAI was confused the moment I saw smoke coming out of the office where I was working.I checked every corner of the room and could not find any trace of Ravenna. Before I knew it, Ravenna bounced into the room looking so unbothered when everyone was running from one corner to the other looking for ways to put off the fire.Now, seeing her in front of me just angered me. I already knew why she was doing this. Little did she know that she just unlocked a mini version of hell in her life.“Did you just say you tolerated a lot of nonsense from me? Come over again so that I can hear you well,” I said to her but she just sighed.This lady just disrespected me and I was here standing like a fool? Really? Wow. That was quite a lot for me to swallow in. I knew she was doing all of that because Ethan was here.When he was not here, she almost melted in my presence. I nodded slowly as I plotted my next plan in my head.She has no idea what is coming. This thing she has caused now was going

EthanI made sure that Ravenna did everything that I asked her to do while still involving my lawyer in the whole process.Still, everything was more or less like the prank a little child would pay. Ravenna had refused to come back to the house for some days after the incident and I also heard from Reina that she had refused to come to work.Shaking my head in front of my work desk at home, I knew that Raveena was up to no good. She had long been forgotten by me but as usual, I only kept her by my side. I only needed Reina. Now everything that was happening was not enough to get Reina close to me.She was still on her guard and didn't want to have anything to do with me. According to her, she only wanted business.Something clicked within me and I remembered a trick that I could play to bring Reina to me.I dialed her number immediately and she answered.“You called, Ethan. Is anything the problem?” she asked me, quite unserious.“No, no. Nothing is the problem. It's just business. I

REINA “He thinks he's smart.” I blurted out, throwing my phone on my couch. I had decided not to go to work today because I needed a break. And, I didn't do that alone.I have the whole team involved in this process a long damn break because they needed it.Only for Ethan to call me over to his house, hiding under the cover that he wanted me to get some design files.What does he take me for? A fool or a desperate woman who would just give in to something.I have never felt disrespected in the coming days that I have felt before. Ethan thinks he can use me as he likes but I am not that desperate.He should get the fuck away from me. My God! I buried my head, covering it with my palm.Where have I gone wrong to deserve all of these? It was a question that needed to be answered.I wish God could come in here and answer me but he didn't. I wish I could hear him speak or comfort me but I don't.Instead, what I keep seeing is Ethan making his stupid moves at me. I almost burst out into

EthanThe music made me feel alive and I had my head moving to every beat and insistent rhythm that I was hearing. My glass was empty again, though I could not remember finishing my drink. The red-haired woman that I saw at the club leaned against the bar beside me with her eyes sparkling in the flashing lights.I don't know why she looked at it like she was plotting something.“I'm sorry but I don't think I'm comfortable with you,” I said plainly to her. That was the truth. I was becoming so uncomfortable and my friend who brought me here was long gone. What have I gotten myself into? I asked myself but I had no answer to the question.I shrugged and decided to go with the floor, perhaps she would let me be after some time. That's the way some ladies are. I guess. “I think you are fun, young man,” she said and her voice was so soft and smooth as she teased me. She then signaled the bartender for another round of drinks for the both of us and I could not decline. The drink was

ReinaThe air still felt heavy, even in the quiet of my bedroom. The phone call with Ethan had ended hours ago and it didn't end well. I could still hear his voice echoing in my mind.I had been too harsh with him even as we were this distant. There was this exhaustion and frustration in his tone that he did not try to hide. I had pushed it all aside because of my own emotions.But now, in the silence of the night, guilt crept in on me. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone. Should I call him back? Apologize? And explain to him that I had nothing to do with Leonard. Maybe he just needed reassurance. Oh, why did I talk so rudely to him. Leonard’s name alone made my skin crawl. What he had said that time still rang in my head.“You think this is just about me flirting with you?” he had asked, leaning in too close. “It’s bigger than that. Someone sent me to you. Someone who wants to ruin Ethan. And you are the key. So, I have to get it first.”I knew that this was a very

EthanThe room was dimly lit and the heavy curtains blocked out the harsh sun that dared remind me of how far I had fallen. I was lying straight on the hotel bed, staring at the ceiling with an empty whiskey glass on the nightstand.My phone buzzed, breaking through the thick haze of self-pity that had settled over me.I was tired of living. I was feeling depressed and I didn't know how to handle myself. I ignored it at first, letting it vibrate into the mattress. Probably just work. Another email about something I could not bring myself to care about right now. But the buzzing of my phone didn’t stop. Reluctantly, I reached over and grabbed the phone, squinting at the screen.It was Carl.The name flashed brightly and I remembered the man I had met a few days after arriving in this foreign city. Carl did good to me. He was everything I was not at the moment. He was charismatic, carefree, and far too persuasive for his own good.With a groan, I swiped to answer. “What do you want

Ethan I was at the other airport where I will take a plane straight to Japan. The airport was still so loud and bustling, but I felt completely disconnected from it. People hurried past me and they all looked like they had no worries in their life. My life felt like it was stuck in an impossible loop. I sat with my suitcase at my feet, staring at the boarding pass in my hand. My flight straight to Japan was in an hour. Everything I had worked for was finally coming together, yet it still felt wrong. I picked up my phone, scrolling through the messages Reina and I had exchanged. There was nothing special about it. They were very brief, distant, and polite. Nothing like what we used to be. I stared at the screen, debating whether to text her again. I had said I would call, but I could not. Not yet. I didn’t have the words to fix this. Was I really leaving my family behind? It all felt like a dream but it was a decision I had made. My thoughts were interrupted by the

Reina I had gone back to my workaholic side as I was patiently waiting for Bruce to come up with any information about Helen. In a week's time, I was going to show her the updated design that she wanted. And for her dinner? I changed my mind from attending her dinner. I just was not feeling it. I didn't get anything from her, no text and no call. She was either cool with it or not. The day passed slowly and I was at home, working endlessly on the design. The house was very quiet without Ethan and Andrew was at school. I tried to wrap up my work for the day earlier than usual. Yet, I felt restless, like something was crawling under my skin. I stood by the kitchen sink, staring out the window. The sunlight shone aggressively on the leaves outside the house but it didn’t make me feel cheerful or any better. I thought of Ethan who had long boarded the plane to his destination, now he was flying somewhere far away. Why didn’t I stop him? My phone buzzed on the counter, pulling

EthanI have decided to leave for Japan without telling my wife and son. It would sound crazy to you, but I don’t think I can allow a woman to control me anymore. It is like I have been walking on eggshells in my own house, trying to be the perfect husband, the perfect father. I can’t breathe.I stood in the living room last night, staring at the photo of us on the wall. Reina, my forever beautiful wife, with her perfect smile, and Andrew, our son, laughing on my shoulders. A picture-perfect family, people would say. But pictures lie."Where are you going at this hour?" Reina’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, her arms crossed, suspicion dripping from her voice. We have not talked for days and now suddenly she's saying all these. Sigh a joke. "Just… clearing my head," I said, avoiding her gaze."Again?" she snapped. "You have been distant for weeks and have been refusing to speak to me just because I refused not to buy your idea about going to Japan.

I was yet to believe that all that Leonard told me was true. But, I had another thing ahead of me. I woke up early and the housekeeper dressed Andrew for school. I had to go drop him off and I didn't leave him without planting a kiss on his cheek. Ethan was out of the picture in my life now. We have refused to speak to each other and I had decided not to dwell on it. Instead, I threw myself into work. Today was about to get interesting for me. I had an important presentation for a potential client. I was nervous but as usual, I trusted myself. We started work immediately at the fashion house, preparing designs and work. “Reina, over here!” Kayla called, motioning me to her office. I hurried over, clutching my portfolio tightly. “Good morning, Kayla.” “Morning. Are you ready for the pitch?” “As ready as I will ever be.” I tried to sound confident, but my hands were clammy. Kayla placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “You have got this. The client is very picky and

Ethan It was morning so quickly and it was funny how fast the week went by. I stared blankly at the suitcase open on the bed, half-packed with clothes I was not even sure I needed. Leaving for Japan was a step I could not take lightly, and yet, I was packing. As I folded another shirt and placed it in the suitcase, my mind raced. I knew I was being selfish. I knew this decision would wreck her. But I needed this deal. For once, I had to think about the future, about what could be better for us, for Andrew. The kind of money they were offering, it wasn’t just a job; it was a chance for us to never worry again. But deep down, I knew it was not just about the money. Things had shifted between Reina and me, and I could not pretend otherwise. Japan was not just an escape for making more money. It was an escape from her, from everything that had become complicated, messy, and suffocating. She was not the same, and neither was I. I heard soft footsteps behind me. I didn’t have

Reina I stayed on the couch for what felt like hours, replaying Ethan’s words in my head. He was leaving. For Japan. For money. For his dream. And there was nothing I could do to stop him.My thoughts were a tangled mess of anger, sadness, and confusion. Part of me wanted to scream at him, to demand he choose us over that job. But another part of me was too tired, too broken. I was exhausted from trying to hold us together.I heard Ethan moving around upstairs again, the sound of him zipping up his suitcase making my heart clench. It was really happening. He was leaving and that was it. Just as I was about to get up and confront him again, my phone buzzed on the coffee table.I wiped my face with the sleeve of my sweater and reached for it, hoping it was not some random notification that would only make things worse.When I saw Leonard’s name flash on the screen, my stomach dropped.I had not spoken to Leonard since our last encounter at the mall. Ethan had been so adamant about
