Former Managing director of sabor estavez, Edward Franklin, who is now a Vice president of a company, was in his office going through a few documents when his secretary came in with a package. "Sir? This came in for you." He held a brown box. "Drop it there! I'll see you at the end of the day.""Yes sir."Once he was through, he took a look at the box. When he saw who it was from, he jumped up In shock. "This can't be! There is no way this is possible." He took out his phone and quickly called someone. * * * * Daniel just finished prepping breakfast and was about to eat when his phone rang. "Hello? Vice president Edward? To what do I owe the pleasure?" he said sitting down. The voice that replied wasn't the one he'd expected. The voice he heard gave him chills. "I'm counting on you Mr Edward. I know its not safe and it's only a matter of time before they get to me. Whatever happens, please keep Amelia safe. There is no way they would find out that I have transferred the shar
The three women sat at the end of the restaurant having a good laugh."I can't believe the chairman didn't come on in their wedding anniversary of all days. How pathetic.!" Julia said"I guess she's feeling embarrassed. That's the reason she didn't join us for tea today." Natalia added. "Combined with the little stunt we pulled on her too. I'm sure she's furious and wants to tear us apart . But as usual, I don't think she can do anything to us. She's too stupid to know any better." Julia said.Li-lah was about to say something when her phone rang. It was Maria calling. " Hello ma'am? Oh! Alright, I'll bring her home once she's done with her golf lessons."* * * * The Table was turned upside down, broken furniture littered the ground, flower vases, crystal figurines, cash register, drinks-all thrown to the side in a gigantic mess. The champagne cork had smashed on the floor.Li-lah looked around the house wondering what had happened. "Maria?" she called out. No answer. "Maria, whe
Maria didn't know what to do. Mateo had always been cold to her but these past days were worse. And he even shouted on her. The look in his eyes were filled with anger and contempt. She couldn't understand what had changed between them. Maria tried to talk to him, but he refused to listen. She felt like she was losing him, and it was tearing her apart inside. She decided to give him some space, hoping that he would come around. But as the days went by, the rift between them seemed to grow wider. Maria knew she had to do something, but she didn't know what.Maria could not stop herself from shaking. "did you see his eyes when he yelled at me?" she asked Li-lah who sat by her bed side. "he's never done it before."Maria's voice trembled with fear as she spoke. Li-lah listened carefully, nodding as Maria spoke. "It sounds like something must be bothering him," she said, "but that's no excuse for treating you that way. You deserve to be treated with respect at all times."Maria nodded, t
In a few minutes, they found themselves at her house. Li-lah led him straight to the dining room. "let me fix you something to eat. I know things have been tough lately and you probably haven't been taking good care of yourself," she said, as she went to the kitchen to whip up something delicious. While she cooked, he looked around the room, taking in all the details that he had missed before. The paintings on the wall, the antique clock on the mantel, the elegant chandelier that hung from the ceiling. It was clear that Li-lah had put a lot of thought into every aspect of her home. When she returned with a steaming plate of food, he realized that he was starving. As he ate, he felt a sense of comfort that he hadn't felt in a long time. Maybe things weren't so bad after all.A lump formed in Mateo's throat as he took a bite of the food. He couldn't remember the last time he'd eaten homemade food or being cared for like this. The flavors exploded in his mouth, and he closed his eyes,
Her presence was like a soothing balm to his aching soul. He held tightly to her, never wanting to let go. It was as if his entire body had been filled with light, and the pain in his chest had left.He leaned in, closing his eyes to allow himself to revel in the moment."make love to me" Li-lah's sweet voice coaxed him.He pulled back and looked at her, gazing into her eyes, with all the love he felt for her, he closed the last remaining slits in his remaining sight and kissed her deeply."I love you" He whispered to her, tightening his arms around her. "I love you so very much"The kiss grew more and more intense as they moved together.The rest of the world became a blur as he lost himself in the one woman he'd been wanting to see for so long.The world finally stopped spinning as he became immersed in the woman he loved.Time seemed to stop as the both of them became lost in one another, souls that had been estranged, now bonded together.He could feel her heart beat a rapid stacc
The tiny room was a mess of papers. On the floor, scattered over the table were files and documents. Samantha sat, flipping through them one by one. Her eyes darted back and forth as she read through the pages, her brow furrowed in concentration. She was searching for something, anything that would help her make sense of the chaos surrounding her. Samantha had been busy working on for hours. The room was stuffy, and she was feeling a bit claustrophobic by now. But she knew there was no time to waste. She sat cross-legged on the floor, flipping through the files, trying to make sense of the information they contained. It was a lot to take in, but she was determined to get through it all. She had been working on this project for weeks and knew that there was no room for error. As she reached for another file, her phone buzzed on the table beside her. She glanced at the screen and saw a message from Li-lah saying she was in her way.As she sifted through the papers, Samantha's mind wand
Maria woke up to an empty bed. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, taking in her surroundings. The room was quiet, and the only light that filtered through the curtains was that of the early morning sun. She looked around, trying to make sense of what was happening, but all she saw was the empty space next to her. Her husband, Mateo, wasn't there.As she sat there, the memories of the past few days came flooding back. It had been their wedding anniversary, and they had planned to spend the day together. But Mateo had cancelled their plans, claiming he had a work emergency. Maria had spent the day alone, feeling hurt and neglected. To make matters worse, he had been distant with her for the past few weeks, hardly talking to her and engaging with her the way he used to. And last night, he had yelled at her in front of her friend, making her feel humiliated and small.Maria felt wronged and angry. She got out of bed and walked around the room, trying to calm down. She knew that she had to ta
Maria shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She had no choice but to tell him the truth. "I didn't come up with it entirely on my own, father. A friend suggested the idea to me."As Maria's voice trailed off, her father's expression shifted from curiosity to concern. He leaned forward, his brows furrowing."A friend?" he asked, his voice laced with suspicion. "Maria, who is this friend you're talking about? And what idea are you referring to?"Maria hesitated, realizing the weight of her confession. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "Father, it's someone I met recently," she admitted, her voice trembling slightly. "Her name is Li-lah. We've been spending a lot of time together, and she's been telling me about different ways people make money. She mentioned this particular method, and... I thought it might be worth considering."Her father's eyes narrowed, and he leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Maria. "Li-lah, you say?" he repeated, the name rolling off his tongu
