POV: Laura“What are you doing?” Nathan asked me, startling me. I turned to see him stand at the door, staring at me strangely and I wondered how long he had been standing there and how much of what I said to Lisa that he heard. He would literally kill me if he found out that I was planning to blackmail the other companies with the information he just shared with me. I know he would definitely find out about it later, but I would prefer it if he finds out after the deed has been done already. I don’t want him to stop me from doing it. He can get mad at me later, but that’s okay, I can work with that. At least I would have gotten the contract by then and even if he wants to be mad at me, he wouldn’t try to drop me from moving on with the deal after it has been signed. There is so much money at stake, and I’m sure he wouldn’t want us to lose that much money. I turned to him with a bright smile, walking into his arms as if I wasn’t planning anything stupid just now.“You are not the onl
POV: Laura“W… W… What are you talking about, young lady, are you trying to insult us or what?” someone asked angrily, obviously trying to look tough and unaffected by my accusations. I can see right through him, and I’m so ready to put him in his place.“Really, Kirkman, do you really want me to show everyone in this room what you were doing in your office between the hours of 10:30 am and 12:00pm on Wednesday night?Should I replay a video I got from your office on how you had a deal with some bitch and you promised to give her my fucking contract?Do you want me to show you what I’m capable of?” I asked him, earning a deep scowl as he glared at me with venom in his eyes, sweating profusely as he was just discovering that I had more evidence than he imagined.“You have nothing!There is no way you could get your hands on videos from my office. I have tough security personnel on every corner in that building and I pay them to keep my secret affair secret. There is no way in hell that
POV: Laura“So this is it, huh?This is the big plan that you have been talking about. You decided to be a mean bitch and business bully, huh?” he asked me, hitting the files he is holding on the table and glaring daggers at me.“Hey husband, check this out,” I squeaked, ignoring his question and anger. “I just won that very contract that everyone thinks we have lost. I fucking got it back, love, I got everyone to sign and they fucking did without much hassle.” I told him excitedly, planting a smile on my face and trying to get him to get him to get excited too. “You call this winning a damn contract?You bullied those men, goddammit!These are grown men who have conducted their various businesses without any issues for many years. How can you wake up one day and decide to change the status quo, what the hell is wrong with you?” he yelled in my face, looking as pissed as fuck.“Oh, really?The status quo, huh?That’s what you chose to call this indecent behavior they always display
POV: Laura“You have no idea who you are messing with. Keep taunting me, and I’ll be forced to retaliate and hit you where it really hurts. You don’t know what I’m capable of, and trust me, you don’t want to find out.” The text read. I was on my way to a meeting with some new clients. Nathan refused to let me have the list of all the clients that Hayley was trying to steal. It’s been three fucking weeks since he caught me bullying those guys, but he hasn’t forgotten about it, and he simply won’t forgive me for undermining his authority before my staff. He has not been speaking freely to me since that day, and he has refused to share the room with me too.But I got the list anyway, and so far, I’ve gotten all the contracts that Hayley tried to steal from my company. Yeah, I can call it my company now because I have passed the review of the board of directors and I finally got their approval, including my dad's. As a matter of fact, a date has been fixed for my official takeover of the
POV: Kendrick “Who the fuck do you think you are, Ken, and why would you just show up at Hayley’s house without informing me of your intentions to confront her. Are you trying to ruin the friendship I’ve been building for so long, do you want to destroy my plans?” Vinnie asked me, yelling like the clown that she is. I was going to ignore her and just act like we never had a deal, but she wouldn’t let me be. She kept pestering me every fucking minute, I had no choice but to face her this time.“Have you ever tried to be nice to people, Vin, do you have any friend that you haven’t stabbed in the back or tried to set up before?” I asked her, sounding so calm, acting as nevertheless I wasn’t feeling so tired of her pestering, bratty attitude and totally Ignoring her questions to me. She asked in shock, looking at me as if she had just seen a ghost or something. “You must be insane, Ken. How dare you talk to me that way, do you know that I could destroy your chances of ever being with La
POV: Nathan“Hey, man, how’s it going?We were hoping to get a feedback from you concerning our bet, are you ready to accept defeat, do you now believe that you have lost her for good?” the guys asked me, making fun of my situation when they found out that we were having an issue again. I’m not in the mood to talk about this bet, as a matter of fact, I’ve even forgotten about this damn bet. For fucks sake, how do I think about this stupid bet when Heather is driving me insane with anger. She is just so stubborn, like, who uses threats and bullying to win contracts on business?How can you call drug lords and cartel leaders into your boardroom and try to bully them, what the hell was she thinking?She not only disobeyed my orders, but she put herself and our entire family in danger by threatening these guys. I guess she still doesn’t understand that these guys may be legit businessmen, but they all have a secret life that they don’t want anyone to know about. They will never let this
POV: Nathan I ordered some guards to move Mr Stevens to one of my abandoned warehouses downtown, while I take Laura home myself. She is supposed to be scared, or even shaken up by this. But I discovered she is just pissed off about it, and she just kept on muttering to herself, saying she would teach Hayley a lesson she would never forget. She still has no idea that her friends are all working with Hayley. I wonder what she would do when she finds out that her precious Kendrick had met up with Hayley after she left.The fucking bastard had tried to save the day after putting her in danger this way. He had walked in here a few minutes after me, hoping to save her and be called the hero of the day. He left angrily when he saw me here and I smiled at his misfortune seeing as his plot had been ruined before his eyes. Laura did not see him come in, so it’s safe to say that if she ever finds out that he is involved in this, he has nothing to say to defend himself. So he’s definitely going
POV: LauraThe night was cold and quiet. Everyone was getting ready for the party in honor of the new CEO, which is me by the way. The only difference is that, while everyone is getting ready to support me as I wear my father’s forbidden crown, I am still having serious doubts about this whole shit. Something just doesn’t seem right today, I just don’t know what it is. Yeah, I called it a forbidden crown because he never wanted me to take his place, he never wanted me to be in this damn position. He only agreed to this because I’ve proven myself to the board of directors over and over again. So I guess you could say that he is doing this simply because he has no fucking choice. Maybe that is why I don’t feel too good, or maybe it has something to do with that bitch that has been threatening me all week because I made Nathan kill one of her biggest clients.I keep seeing her in my head, sometimes. She was too scared to make any move initially. She is scared of Nate because she knows th
