Sarah's POV“Who is this Ex husband of yours?” He asked again with a wild smile on his face, I just knew he would ask. I just couldn't imagine his face if I told him that Steve, his financial Manager is actually my husband.I looked at him and didn't even know when I bursted into laughter. Justin stood there in confusion, Why am I not supposed to know?” He asked, then we both shared a laugh.“You know him already....” His eyes widened in surprise, then stepped back a bit . “Who's that?”I took a deep breath and then broke the news to him, “It's Steve. “ I said rather sadly, I didn't know Calling his night could trigger something.“Steve? The same Steve from the office?” He asked and I nodded in affirmation. “The one and the only.”Justin stood there in shock, we were already running late and I'm sure everyone in the office would be wondering why we aren't back yet. But I'm yet to see another version of Justin.He had a lot of things to say but I just knew his life must have

JUSTIN'S POVSteve's eyes glared at me as he pursed his gaze directing it to me. His face went pale and I'm sure he didn't see that coming.“What do you mean by you're in love with Sarah? That's against the company's ethics.” He fired back, he was right, Dad made sure I promised that I'd keep my distance from his female staff, but how can I help it after played a trick on me and brought one to my bedroom a day before she applied?Steve worked with my father up until two years ago when I took over the company. If there was anyone my father solely trusted, it would be Steve. According to him he was a wonderful employee and a good husband to his wife, how could I not connect the dots between him and Sarah the first time I saw them together talking suspiciously.“And that is my father, Steve. I have as much right to date anyone I want and that includes Sarah. Nothing is going to take me out of this game. Or maybe you should back out because your messed up situation made a way for me.”

Steve's POVI got out of his office as I banged the door close, scaring all other staff, most of them shocked at the way I banged their precious CEOs office. He does all the work and then Justin's receives all the credit. I adjusted my jacket, trying to cool off,this was just the beginning, I tried to calm myself down with the thought.As I headed back to my office, I met Sarah on her way to his office. She was dressed beautifully, the clothes really glued to her body, accentuating her curves more. I missed her.She walked past me, I immediately stopped grabbing her by the wrist.“Really? Him? Are you that cheap, Sarah?” I blurted out, her eyes twisted with anger as she snapped her hands out of my grip.“The only thing saving you from the slap I am itching to slam on that miserable face of yours is the fact that we're at the office right now, and I do not want to draw unnecessary attention to myself just the way I have with Justin.” She fired out, not waiting for me to counter he

STEVE'S POV“Nicole?” I called again, I wasn't sure I was dreaming, how the hell is she Nk.“Steve.” She called softly, as she took a sip of the wine in her hands, I have to admit, she looked totally different from the last time she was here.I've been with the Louis household for five years and I know everyone and every story connected to each person and Nicole was one of themA small flash back to who She really was in Justin's life, the Kancaid and the Louis household were close friends so apparently you could call Nicole, Justin's best friend and in the long run, she fell in love with Justin who at the time was courting Melissa. If there was any threat posed to their relationship in the past then Nicole was the mastermind behind it. It was sad she had to leave for the United Kingdom, just to get her sanity back, and now she was back.The waiter drew the seat for me, as I sat down. He gave a light nod before handing the menu to me.“What would you like to order, Sir? I fell back t

Sarah's PovThe day was almost over, I cleared my desk, today has been one heck of a day. I picked up my phone as it rang, I left the files I was arranging when Justin called through the intercom.“Are you done?” He asked, I was not sure about my answer,“Uh….mmm… I think so.” I answered, as my eyes laced up, fixing itself to the ceiling. I bit my lips,“Fine, wait for me . I'm coming to get you.” He said, not even waiting for my answer when I hung up.“Rude.”I muttered to myself as I placed it back, picked up my bag, everyone was gone and so was Steve. About Steve, he was gone all afternoon, thank Goodness, Justin didn't need his attention to anything as he was gone all day.I thought about our little discussion, I just couldn't help it but Scoff. Be was unbelievable, I thought he wanted Diana, what's with the drag with Justin?I filtered my mind from every thought as I took my phone, Justin's door opened slightly as he got out, shutting the door.“So let's go?”. He began, I was conf

Sarah's POVI could feel his breath on me, I tried to look away, he leaned forward to kiss me, my eyes widened in shock because I could not believe it.“Your apartment is beautiful.,” He whispered into my ears in the most awesome baritone voice I have ever heard before. Not even Steve's bedroom sounds like this.The butterflies in my stomach were beginning to multiply as I didn't want him to get up but then even if I loved it, I mustn't let him know that I love it.Girl math right?!“Sir?” I called, sounding a bit overwhelmed with everything that was going on.He noticed I was beginning to get awkward with the closeness…he soon stood up as he stretched out his hand, I took his hand, standing up as I avoided his gaze completely.“I'll get these to my bedroom.” I said in a rush, I was beginning to get tensed up, I packed up my closet which was sprawled all over, as I rushed to my bedroom, closing the door behind me as I heaved a deep sigh of relief, I was like a teenage girl who's cru

JUSTIN'S POVI stood there still trying to understand what she meant by she still loves him, it broke my heart into a thousand pieces and more. I watched as she ran out chasing after him leaving me behind.I was still in realization when my phone beeps. I looked up to see it. Was a message from the housekeeper all the way from home.“Sorry Justin, Your parents are back in town.” I read in anger, another way to get upset. I thought they wouldn't be back here until another three months.I wanted to ignore the message when she sent me the message then again,“Your father is asking after you, Mr. Louis.” I read the message then tossed my phone back into my breast pocket, I was about to leave when Sarah walked in. We both shared a gaze, I was disappointed, maybe because I was the one who was too hasty but I didn't care anyways. I walked passed her ignoring her when she called,“Justin?” She called as I was about to turn the door to know if the living room was headed out.I turned sharply

Justin's POVI looked at Nicole. She was wearing a jet black Bob wig. Her bright red lipstick matched her gown and shoes. She looked delighted to be here. Her face was the last thing I had wanted to see but I needed to compose myself.“Hello Nicole” I greet.“Hello Justin” she responded, smiling brightly.I wondered what she was doing here for I had no business with her. My curiosity pushed me to ask.“What are you doing here? I hope there's no problem” I asked.“Won't you let me in?” Nicole asked, staring at me..I realized I was blocking the doorway and she was standing outside. For the purpose of orderliness I pulled the door wide open as I stepped aside for her to walk in.I watched her catwalk inside like she owned the place. Her perfume was strong and dominant as it filled the room.I sneezed a little as the scent irritated my nose.Nicole cat walked to the sofa as she sank into it while she gestured for me to come join her. I was curious and would do anything to find out what

DIANA'S POV I paced the length and breath of the house, waiting for the arrival of Steve. My phone began ringing again. I looked at the caller and it was the man from the one night stand.I do not know how he got to know my number, and since then, he has been bugging me ever since.Then I got a text from him, “you can't hide forever, you know.” the message read.Oh goodness gracious, what have I gotten myself into. What if he told Steve? I would be done for and that is for sure. I wouldn't let Sarah laugh at me. That's not going to happen. In fact she was the cause of all this instead. If she had just signed the papers, then maybe! Maybe I wouldn't have charged her and then gone to the bar to cool off only to end up in another's bed. Steve would never forgive me. We were not together yet but he had proven to me how much he loved Sarah and this would just give him an avenue to kick me out which I wouldn't let happen.Just then I got a message that sent me up on my feet as I headed fo

Sarah's POVThey immediately broke off from their hug, I tried as much as I could to contain the hurt that I was feeling. You are here just for Patty and that's all.“What happened to knocking before you entered my office, Ms. Parker? His voice deepened in his full masculine voice without even batting his eyes as he spoke to me.For a moment it felt like my voice had just vanished into thin air, I quickly cleared my throat as I tried to get rid of the embarrassment.So sorry sir. But I'm here to request you for something “ he gave a slight frown in his face, as he gazed at me, the moment he saw Patty and in together with me, he cooed as he let go of Nicole.“What's the Problem, that it couldn't wait?” He was not interested in what I was planning to say.I took a deep breath then began,“About Patty's request for an upfro_” he didn't wait for my response instead he cut me off.“That had already been decided. She cannot take another upfront in the same month. Ms. Parker.“But?” I tried

Sarah's POVI didn't mean to say those hurtful words to him, I saw his eyes dimmer as she plunged into sadness.“What's with you Sarah?”My subconscious yelled at me, I was happy to see that he was worried about me but on second thought..his worries were dangerous and if Nicole sees that we were close, there was nothing holding him back from firing me and making sure I don't get a job in the entire state.“Did you just look me in the eyes and tell me to leave? In front of him?” He pointed at Steve, who rolled his eyes in return. He seems to be enjoying this drama of mine.“Yes. Because I am not comfortable with what you're trying to do. Steve is still my legal husband till we're divorced. So it's disrespectful to me if you keep bugging me all the damn time?” I finally breathe out as I said. He stood there in uttermost shock as he watched me spill the most hurtful words to him, I quickly avoided his gaze because I did too. I was not ready mentally for him either. I was too broken to g

JUSTIN'S POVI picked up my telephone as I dialed Steve's office number.“Send Sarah to my office right now.” I knew he was going to counter back so I hung up immediately. I do not know what dad and Nicole are planning but taking Sarah away from me was not part of the agreement.I stood up as I paced the length and breadth of my office . I was worried, what could I do now? It's not like we're both on good terms that I could just walk up to her to explain things.Shortly there was a knock on the door, I darted my eyes to the door, as I rushed to have my seat. I adjusted my shirt and tie, as I cleared my throat, using my most deep baritone voice to use.“So come in.” I said softly. I was awaiting her entry, as the doorknob turned but it wasn't Sarah that was sent from the financial department.It was Patricia..or Patty whatsoever.I felt Insulted, I felt displeased. A typical example of what I ordered versus what I got.“Sir?” Patty called as I just stared at her with a few frowns on

Sarah's POV“Sarah.” He called, as he fell back towards his seat. I stood there with no words coming out. Whichever way, I just have to learn to work with him.Oh goodness gracious when has it been heard that two ex-couple worked alongside each other or maybe I should have told Mr. Louis Steve were once married and working with him could be weird but I didn't want to sound unprofessional. Now looks, who's already tired of just staring at his face?Me!I cleared my throat, I hate to say something. He was my boss anyway. For the first time in a long time, I wished Justin was my boss, I could still keep up with the silent treatment and cruel words but this? This is weird and awkward.“Uhmm Sir.” I began switching to honorifics immediately. “I was sent here by the chairman himself. And I'd love it if we are both cordial about it. This is just work and work it would be.” I stayed, gesturing with my hands to state my points better. But instead of giving me an answer, he sat there starin

Sarah's PovI was stunned for a moment, what the hell is his father doing in the company.“Sarah? He is the founder, duhh?” My subconscious says to me, I quickly snapped out of it as I stretched my hands for a handshake.But instead he stood there as he looked at me with contempt, his gaze could literally rip me off the dress I was wearing af for a moment I thought it did. My hand hung in the air for seconds as he continued staring at me like I had dirt in me.“Dad?” Just called for him to take my hand as I was beginning to regret stretching out my hand in the first place. It was an awkward moment. I took back my hand, before greeting.“Good morning sir.” I said halfheartedly, taking a short bow.“So you are Sarah Parker. I thought of you too high but from what I'm seeing, I am disappointed in myself.” He spat out, I felt hurt. Who says something like that to someone. It felt like he had an already reserved hatred for me without even knowing me first.“Dad....stop it! This is an of

Don's PovDeep in the heart of the woods, my car drove into the forest as I just couldn't get my mind off what happened the previous night, and I must say, she knew how well to handle me. Her moans keep ringing in my head as time passes.“Boss?” Joe called for the up tenth time as I was spacing out which was not the usual me.“What?” I frowned, turning my gaze to him, as he looked at me with a hitch of worry written all over his face. “What's with that look on your face, it's not like I'm about to die.” I said I was rather uninterested.“I didn't mean it that way boss, but you acted so differently after this woman.” Joe asked again , we were close and that was why he was my right hand man. You can say that I'm a rich and successful personnel in the city who commands power. As much as I am not the mayor, I had as much influence as the president himself.I was meant to have a business meeting at the bar when my eyes caught the beautiful damsel who was drowning herself in the multipl

Diana's Pov“Someone please wake me up because this is not real.” My subconscious yelled from within.At this point I felt like the ground should just swallow me whole, I felt dirty, I felt filthy. I didn't want to be touched by any other man aside from Steve.“ What the hell is going on?” He looked at me with a smirk on his face as he slowly got up looking at me lustfully, I felt instantly disgusted that I would have gagged any moment. This was all Sarah's fault! If she had just let Steve be then this wouldn't have happened.All I felt was anger and resentment towards Sarah, and now. I feel like a filthy rag.I immediately got out of the bed, wrapping the duvet around me as I headed for the bathroom. As soon as my gaze hit the mirror to see my reflection on the mirror, I was a mess, even if I wanted to hide it..it was clearly visible from outside. A tear slid down my cheeks, I felt like a disgrace, like I had just broken the little trust Steve has for me.“You're going to be fine.”

Diana's pov.I am utterly broken by Sarah's words as I run off in the wind towards my car. I am both angry and sad, it's getting late but I do not want to go home. I felt the urge to burn somethingI turn on my car as I zoom off angrily! The wind seems to be angry too as it blows angrily. From the chaos and dust my eyes catch the lights on a bar. I had no alcohol at home and I needed to drown Sarah's words that kept replaying in my head. It wouldn't hurt to grab a few cups at the bar and head home even if it rained. I had my car with me, so I thought. I pulled over as I parked my car. Grabbing my purse I stormed out of the car into the club.The environment was sensual as clubs never had bright lights but the most colorful dim lights you could think of. Sarah's words kept coming up in my head and I couldn't bear it anymore.I stormed towards the bartender who looked hot. He was shirtless and his torso was attractive, but he wasn't Steve.“Give me the strongest mixture you have, I nee
