Taylor smiled triumphantly, the dress was perfect. It was going to be talked about for a long while and when she finally tied the knot with Nate, the internet was going to go crazy. Her followers would increase, those who mocked her would be embarrassed.She laughed, daydreaming. Life was going to be perfect soon but first , she had to deal with the unnecessary bad press her father was getting. It was embarrassing and people were beginning to ask questions. Her smile quickly turned into a frown. The year had been tough for her and all that started when Ruby showed up at Nate’s office. She hissed, she hated Ruby so much and would rather see her not succeed. She knew Ruby had the biggest crush on Nate since highschool and she tried to separate them from each other. She was scared of the high potential of a chemistry sparking between them.Nate, just like Ruby, was the kind of person who always had his nose in a book. He always loved having intellectual conversations and shari

After a heated argument with the interior decorator, Taylor lay on the couch, enjoying the view of the sunset. She had requested for a baby pink and white decor but the decorator got the wrong shade of color.She huffed as she sipped her champagne. Everything was perfect even though there were slipups here and there. Most of the girls from her clique in highschool were going to be in attendance at the wedding. A devilish smile crept into her face. What if She sends an invite to Ruby and Esme and then they bully her just like when they were in highschool. She felt energy and happiness surge through her at the thought, the only downside to it was that Nate wasn’t going to take things lightly with her. Back in highschool, he never approved of her bullying anyone but he was too occupied by his own problems to fight for other people. She smirked as she ran her fingers on the stem of her champagne flute. How sweet was it to get revenge after being doubted and stepped upon consta

"You need to see this sir" one of Wyatt's workers said, alarmed as he rushed into the office. Wyatt had made the headlines of the newspaper yet again. Wyatt eyed the worker. He had suspected that the publication would be about his scandalous acts. "What is it?"he asked with a frown "Sir, you should see for yourself" the worker said as he pushed the newspaper towards Wyatt.Wyatt sighed as he took the newspaper.It was a picture of him when he was younger. He was accused of underage drinking and beating up his mate. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked, enraged. "Where did you get this from? Who the hell would do this to me?"It was unthinkable that something that had happened when he was eighteen or nineteen years was brought up in the news. He had forgotten about it a long time ago. "I don't know, sir. That was what was published in the newspaper this morning," the worker said with his head bent. Wyatt dismissed the worker immediately. He didn’t think that Dor

There wasn’t anything more hectic than walking in heels across a pavement. She had expected little or no rainfall since it was November but the rain had fallen endlessly.She scratched her back nervously as she walked into the burger palace. Mark had asked that she meet up with him for lunch. At first, she was thrilled at the prospect of having lunch with her boss. Over the past few days, she had had a couple of meetings with members of the project department. They were pleased to have her and they proposed the total amount of money and resources they were going to need. “I’m sorry you got in the rain” Mark frowned as he helped her place her umbrella in a basket. “It’s fine” she smiled wryly as she followed him to the table he reserved She wasn’t nervous, maybe a little bit tense but she was confident in what she had to say. It was a great way to get her mind off the chaos going on. “I didn’t realize you were a fan of tea,” she said, trying to make small talk. Just li

The trio stared at the newspapers, each lost in the contents of the papers. Ever since the exposure of Wyatt started, more things had been revealed about him. Things that no one could believe he ever did. “I guess we aren’t the only one into Wyatt. Who knows, he must have offended and old friend and whoever it is now getting revenge for everything”Katie commented while flipping through papers She had collected all the newspapers from the first day Wyatt started making the news. She noticed a pattern, most of the news published about him weren’t current news, they had happened years ago or in a different country. “I’m so happy he’s in so much trouble. I’d thought for a minute that it was only us that could see through all his acts” Adam repliedHe had now fully recovered from the injuries he sustained and he went back to work. “Have you tried talking to the reporter?” Nate askedTaking down Wyatt was one of the best things he had ever done for himself. He had promise

Nate walked her to her car as usual. He noticed how sad she looked throughout the date. Her eyes held fear and her lips held back words from him.He was scared and so was she. The Italians caused so much damage to everyone, courtesy of Wyatt and his family. He understood how unsafe she was. "Thank you so much, Nate,"she smiled as she unlocked her car.She loved how kind he was, even though they had quarreled most of the time, he didn’t forsake her. He wished he could teleport into her mind and figure out what is wrong with her. Ruby had an ego and won't tell anyone if she had any problem. He shook his head sadly. "Ruby" he began softly, treading carefully. "Is there anything that is troubling you?" He watched her swallow the lump in her throat before she continued. "No, nothing," she said, plastering a fake smile on her face. "I've just been very tired recently, you know,work here and there" He knew she was lying but allowed her to have her way.

Marco paced angrily, a cigarette in hand. Taylor Wyatt wasn't making things easy for him. He had taken her to different islands and thrown the biggest parties for her friends. He sighed as he drew in his smoke,how annoying could the spoiled brat get? So far, her father's campaign was doing just fine and he had a good chance of winning the election. It was crazy that the office for the minister of finance election was more popular than that of the election for the office of president. This was because very influential people were running for the post of Minister of finance. Occupying the office gave them free access to the country's wealth and they could loot money as much as they wanted to. He spent the last week acting all lovey-dovey with Taylor. She made him buy her expensive designer bags. He was comforted by the fact that the new development site was doing just fine and he had a lot of shares in the company.

After a long day, Roberta returned home. The smell of her mother’s freshly baked cakes welcomed her. Her mouth watered immediately. “Mommy!” Lorenzo yelled happily as he played around his mother’s feet. She scooped her little delight into her arms and rained kisses on him. She did a good job masking the sadness she felt. When Carl was eating, she noticed some scars on his hands due to the moving of his shirt. She panicked, fresh tears falling off her eyes the third time. She scolded him for subjecting himself to such harsh punishment. He brushed it off, saying it was nothing important. Her heart shattered into a million pieces when she forced him to take off his shirt. The scars ran all the way from his nape to his lower back. It was obvious that he was attacked because of her and that was the reason he hadn’t contacted for a while.She prayed Lorenzo was nothing like that. She helped him apply ointment even though he assured her that he was doing just fine. When he w
