“Sir…" Blake called out as soon as he entered the office.

“What is it this time, Blake?” Damien questioned with a displeased expression on his face. “You always seem to show up when I'm in the middle of something important.”

“I'm sorry, sir!” He quickly apologized and bowed his head slightly. “I thought it'll be better to tell you this before…"

Blake trailed off, which made Damien furious. “Yes…?” He demanded as he hit his fist on the desk before him. “Go on, before what?”

“Mr. Sebastian has been here for almost half an hour ago and doesn't want to leave.” Blake uttered, breathing out slowly. “He's demanding for an audience with you.”

Damien's face was squeezed in a tight frown, lines visible on his forehead. “Why is he here?” His voice was sharp and stern. “Did I not ask him not to come back to my company ever again —he still has the shell too?”

“We've tried to make him leave quietly, but he's being persistent.” Blake explained, unable to meet his boss gaze. “He seems like someone who

    Blake was taken aback by Damien's words. “A catch…?” He asked, feeling slightly confused. “What do you mean by that, sir?” Damien let out a laugh, shaking his head. “You really are inexperienced, Blake.” He said with a sneer. “I meant a woman, Blake.” He explained, enjoying the look of shock and embarrassment on the other man's face.“I'm going out for lunch with my new… acquisition.” He grinned, winking at Blake. “You should take a page from my book and find yourself a woman, too.”“You mean that Ms. that owns Feller's Firm?” Blake asked, his eyes widened in realization —this reflects how slow he was at grabbing Damien's illustration.“Who else if not her?” Damien asked with a slight shoulder shrug. “There is something I did not tell you which is the most interesting part is that she turned out to be my high school friend. Intriguing, isn't it?”“Your high school friend?” Blake echoed, clearly shocked by this revelation. “I didn't know you had any high school friends, sir. You never

    A pained expression crossed Damien's face, and Lisa felt a twinge of guilt. “You're right, this isn't ethical.” He admitted, running a hand through his hair. “I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought my personal feelings into this. It's just that…you're the only woman I ever loved, and I thought maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for us.”“Us…?” She asked him, wearing an obfuscated look. “Was there ever ‘us’?”Damien looked at her with pleading eyes. “Tell me honestly, Lisa. Is there any chance you might feel the same way?” He replied to her questions with his own question instead. “Look here, Damien.” She started on a simple note. “We just met after a couple of years of being drifted apart from each other —feelings don't grow that easily in a day, Damien.”Damien closed his eyes tightly, breathing in the frustration he's feeling at the moment. Why is she always this way —finding every possibly way to make him and his feeling seem inferior? Why does she never reciprocate his feelings th

    “You aren't doing this, or are you? Don't tell me you are putting your house up for sale, Ryan!” Mrs. Lerman blurted out, wearing a stern look.Ryan appeared unmoved as he folded his shirt and put it in his traveling box alongside other clothes in it. “Why not…?” He requested, paused what he was doing and turned to his mother. “Is there a reason why the house shouldn't be sold out?”Mrs. Lerman breathed in with her eyes partially closed for a few seconds, she felt frustrated arguing out words with her son. He was slowly losing it as the day goes by, but at the moment, she felt like he had lost it completely.She cleared her throat before speaking to prevent her from sounding as angry as she was. “Of course, there is, Ryan.” She told him in response, trying her best to keep her anger in check. “There is a lucid reason why you mustn't have that house sold!”“Please enlighten me, mother.” Ryan said, his face devoid of any emotion, but his mother only stare at him, not saying a word since

    “Are you leaving for somewhere, Ms.?” Gerald asked, even when he's aware of the answer to his question. He tried to hide his emotion from his voice, his hard gaze was fixated on the man opposite him.Lisa smiled warmly before replying. “Yes…" She stated simply. “I'm spending my lunch break with Damien, he wants us to have lunch together.”Her reply hit him hard on his guts, his gaze was still on Damien as he clenched his fist tightly beside him. He's always around her, taking her on business and coffee dates and now, he feels like it better if they have lunch together?Damien seems to notice his unfriendly stare, his brows creased tightly. “Why are you staring at me with such a look in your eyes?” He asked, frowning his face. “Is there something on my face?”Gerald was quick to dissolve his hard stare before Lisa could notice what's going on. He let out a dry chuckle, reducing the supposed growing tension in the air.“Of course not…" Gerald shook his head negatively in response and qui

    “Ah, Dwayne, it's you…” Lisa enounced with a wide smile on her face. “You are here today again.”“Yeah, I can't help it.” He replied with a slight shoulder shrug. “What else can I do when you have an unwanted…”She cuts him off abruptly, interrupting his words. “Don't say, Dwayne. Don't!” She told him, earning a smug grin from him. Lisa sighed, shaking her head lightly. “Come in…”“Eh —thanks.” He said, closing the door behind him. “I thought you were still angry at me and might deny me entrance, but it seems I'm wrong.”“It's not too late, I can still oust you out of my house now within a blink of an eye.” She threatened, her facial expression far from friendly. “—you are just a guest here, you should watch how you talk to the house owner.”Dwayne laughed at her. “You can't do that to your only." He was forced to press his lips into a thin line due to the hard glare he earned from Lisa. “Alright… alright, I promise to be on my best behavior.”Lisa raised an eyebrow, clearly not convin

    Lisa breathed in slowly as she tapped gently on the door for a couple of seconds but got no response. This time, she banged her fist louder on the door. “Dwayne…" She called out in a high-pitched voice. “Are you up already?”Still no response.Lisa was alarmed. “It's better you get up now and open this door before I break it down.” She said as she banged on the door. “I'm not joking, Dwayne!”She placed her hand on the door knob and attempted to open the door but was beaten to it. The door was open from inside, which made Lisa tripped and staggered inside, Dwayne was quick to catch her by wrist, preventing from falling.“Lisa!” Dwayne exclaimed, holding on to her. He looked worried, his brows drawn together. Lisa regained her feet as she jerked off his grip from her wrist, giving him a stern look.“Are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't hear you knocking, I was… I was still in bed.” He trailed off, his cheeks turning pink. “I didn't mean to startle you, I'm truly sorry.”Lisa's cheeks flushe

    Dwayne managed to recover himself from the trance he was in —shaking Elsie's threat from his mind. “I won't be swayed by her threat? I won't let her lay a finger on my family or harm even a strand of their hair!”Dwayne said to himself in determination before he rushed through the stairs, down to the dinning room, startling Ciara who unconsciously dropped her spoon on the floor.Lisa frowned at his behavior, clearly displeased. “What's with the rush?” She demanded, her frowned tightened. “You just scared the daylight out of me.”Dwayne breathed in slowly, raising his left palm in apology. “I'm sorry, I think I forgot something very important.” He told her in reply. “You can go on with your breakfast, I never mean to startle you.”“You should be careful, Dwayne. You should stop getting worried over nothing.” She cautioned him, wiping her shirt due to the crumbles that feel on it. “—you can't caution Herzl if you're being this way.”Dwayne picked the spoon that fell off her hand, placing

She was quick with it, as she did not waste any more time in exiting the room, already assured that no one had seen her.She returned downstairs quickly before she would cause any suspicion.

    As she sat, deep in thought, a sudden buzz broke her concentration. A notification appeared on her phone, with a message from her former fiancé, David."Why is he sending me a message out of the blue?" She muttered within herself as she unlocked her phone to read the message, feeling a mixture of anxiety and curiosity. She read the message, and her breath caught in her throat.Sarah stared at the message sent to her, her curiosity suddenly turned into a mixture of anger and sadness. It reads, 'I can't believe you are such a gold digger, Sarah! This was your plan all along? To ditch me, leave me in disgrace at the altar, and go after the president because he's loaded, isn't he?'Sarah gritted her teeth in fury as she read the message further. 'You are such a cheap slut, but I promise you, Sarah, that I won't go down without a fight! Be on your best guard because tonight, I'm giving you the biggest surprise of your life...!'David's words cut through her like a knife, the fact that he go

    Sarah, a name now acknowledged and recognized in the journal of the nation's political context, stood as the center of an exceptional sight, surrounded by glaring lights, loud and noisy voices, and examining eyes from the press, reflecting a model of the public.Amidst the lights and noisy surroundings, the press that managed to get close to her probed her with questions, their eyes gleaming with excitement. She was their new prey - the fact that she was the first Lady made things more interesting for them.For the first time since her marriage with the president, she had only stepped out for a moment to look around and probably get used to her new environment but things did not turn out as she thought would be.As though the press was keeping a close watch on her and monitoring her movement - maybe someone had tipped them off her whereabouts, they hovered around her like flies, trapping her down in the same spot.Microphones and other instruments used by the press were pointed in her

    As Sarah stood at the altar to exchange marital vows with the president, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. It was as if time had slowed down, and everything around her was moving in slow motion.The guests, the priest, the groom - they all seemed to be moving at a fraction of the speed she was used to. Everything felt surreal as if she was in a dream. But she knew this was real. This was her wedding day - another wedding she was holding in that same week she ditched the first one.The priest's words drifted through the air as if they were carried by the wind. "Do you, Sarah, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?"As the words of the vow hung in the air, Sarah felt her heart skip a beat. It was like everything had stopped, and it was just her and the president in the world. She looked into his eyes, a

    Sarah had never seen him before which made her curiosity piqued, her gaze on the parcel he stretched out to her. Though she was tempted to take the parcel from him, she still hesitated as though she was contemplating taking the parcel from him.His unusual warm smile spread wider, urging her to take it from him. Seeing how much she was hesitating, he squatted down to her height, opened her palms, and placed the parcel on them."For you..." He uttered, still wearing his unusual warm smile. His voice was calm but far from the regular manly voice Sarah had heard."What's in the parcel?" She asked, directing her gaze from the man to the parcel in her palms before raising her gaze to meet the man's. "-and why are you giving it to me?""I can read the curiosity in your eyes, lady." He responded quietly, maintaining his calm tone. "Why don't you feed your curiosity by checking it out yourself?"Sarah said nothing in reply and did as the man had suggested. She opened the parcel and couldn't be

    Alone on the serene and deserted beach, Sarah sat on the sandy shore, the waves crashing against the beach as if echoing her inner turmoil. The sunset on the horizon in its warm hue of orange failed to bring comfort to the despair that hung over her like a chute.Her eyes were red and swollen, heavy with the weight of sorrow and betrayal. Tears painted her face, the hurt as vast as the sea itself and heavy as a lead. Yet underneath the sorrow was an underlying sense of trepidation - a thought that wasn't born out of hope but out of fear of continuing to live.Sarah ought to be grateful that she found out about them before the knot was tied between herself and David - how worse would it be if things started to unfold after her wedding?Sarah stood up abruptly and walked closer to the beach, shutting other thoughts off her head and mind. She stared intensely into the raging waves of the waster as thoughts of suicide attempts swirled in her mind, tempting her to end the painful game she f

    Gerald was pushed aggressively back into the prison, and the warder locked the gate immediately, throwing the keys into his pocket. Gerald hissed in pain as he forcefully hit his knee on the cold floor, bruising it in the process.“I wonder how long you are going to last here with the nonchalant attitude you are putting on, man!” The warder scowled disapprovingly at him, resting lazily on the gaze. “You won't even last three months here —you will be lucky if you do.”Gerald's eyes widened in shock. Three months…? That's a whole lot of time to be detained in a prison, how is he supposed to cope in this kind of surrounding for that long period of time without even knowing his offense? The thought of spending three months locked up in a cell was terrifying as it made his stomach dropped.It was hard to imagine being stuck in such a small space for so long, with nothing to do and no one to talk to. Gerald tried to think of ways to pass the time, but his mind kept returning to the same thou

    Gerald's eyes blazed in fury as he banged his hands dangerously on the table, separating them from each other. “I rather remain in this hole than be at your mercy or listen to your petty orders! You can't make me do your bidding!” He growled at her.“Tsk, tsk!” Aunt Elsie twitched her nose in disappointment, unmoved by his rage or threats. “Then what would happen to Lisa? I told you; that your reaction and obedience will determine Lisa's fate, didn't I?”“What are you going to do to Lisa?” Gerald demanded, his heart beating against his rib cage. He couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her. “Tell me what you want, and I'll do it. Just don't hurt her.”Aunt Elsie's lips stretched into a thin smile, she was loving the desperation in Gerald's eyes —he's the perfect pawn in the game. “I'm glad to see that you're willing to cooperate.” She said, satisfaction evident in her tone. “You're a smart man, Gerald, I think we can work well together.”Gerald hated the way she was talkin

    Aunt Elsie smiled broadly, she was right about him. Only someone like him will be needed —he had managed to read her perfectly without getting close to her. She was impressed, and that will only make her want him more.“I don't bargain, yeah…" She uttered, admitting to his words. “—but I'm ready to do so, if it'll please you.”“What do you mean by that?” he asked, his curiosity piqued. “Why would you change your usual tactics just to please me? What do you want from me?”Aunt Elsie's smile widened, she was glad he didn't bite her head off this time —instead, she loved the curiosity in his eyes; that was what she wanted from him anyway, not otherwise.“I've found myself smitten with you, Gerald.” She replied, her voice taking a different turn. “And I would do anything to get what I want from you —I'm not afraid of bargaining this time because I know what I want, and I want it badly.”Gerald was no in for her twist and turns, he wanted her to say whatever thing she's got for him and let
