Colin POV" Why the rush man?" David asked, as I pulled my coat from the couch, trying to reach out for my phone on the table." The interview would commence in an hour" " An interview?" " Yes, at Steven Global tech " I wore my shoes in a rush. "See ya " I dash out.I ran out into the street and couldn't find any taxi. Without a second to waste, I ran down the street and luckily I found one. I got in and the taxi zoomed off. Soon we drove into the main road and I got the shock of my life, Traffic." Uhmmm" I groaned in anger. I was told the interview will commence at 11pm, only to get my guards now and got the shocking news that the interview has been rescheduled to 9am." Is there anything we can do?" I asked the driver." I don't think so, no other road leads to Steven Global tech except this road" he answered.I sat at the back of the taxi tapping my leg vigorously, I really need this job, I have been broke as hell since my license got revoked.The clock seems to be ticking faste

Colin POV I arrived at Paige's Gallery to see it Empty, " packed?" I asked myself in shock.She never told me she was leaving. I looked around and I couldn't see anyone, I tried calling her but no answer, immediately I recall the building owner lives closeby, I arrived at her door step and rang the doorbell, after minutes she finally opened the door. " What are you doing here?" She asked immediately she saw me." Ma'am I saw Paige's gallery empty, I can't find her and I don't understand why she packed".She stepped out of the door closing the door behind her, "I drove her out, the whole neighborhood knew she is a scammer, so i told her to leave, finally she packed out today with the help of her new man, I thought it was you but looking at him closely he wasn't you, at the same time he looked familiar, I asked my son to check if he knows him and my son screamed saying he is the popular Basketball player who just won a Gold medal at the Olympics, Jack Stones" she replied." A new ma
Paige POV Finally Colin is gone, I took a deep breath in relief, "Babe!" I pulled the Jacket off. Jumping on Jack with no clothes on, completely naked, crossing my leg on his back, Jack placed his hand on my back holding me from falling while we head to the Bedroom. He placed me on the bed, spreading my legs wide as he continued the previous act." Fuck!!!!" I moaned in pleasure, Jack's tongues did magic, as the pleasure in my pussy Intensified.Jack's tongue continues to work its magic, teasing my sensitive spots, driving me wild with pleasure. I threw my head back, my hands gripping the sheets."You're so wet for me," he growls. "I can't wait to feel you wrapped around my cock."He slides up my body, his lips finding mine as we kiss passionately. I could taste myself on his tongue, and it only turns me on more.He reaches for his pants, his eyes never leaving mine as he frees himself. "Ready?" he asks.I nod, my breath coming in quick gasps. "Yes,Jack…," I whisper, my body already
Selena POV" Uhmm" I lay on the couch, scrolling through social media while hearing Lisa's loud laugh from her room talking to Zack on the phone. I scroll through when all of a sudden a post pump up, Staring at the post I saw Paige, dressed up with several accessories on and with the caption wild life. " Wild life?" I exclaimed, immediately I sent Rachel a text message. " Has Paige paid the cash for the artworks and the mobs?" I sent it." Yes she did, I forgot to inform you" she replied." If she has paid her debt, how then is she having a nice life?" My eyes glanced around, why didn't my plan work? At this point she should be Living in the street, why having a wild life?I sat up wondering Why Paige wasn't suffering like I wanted her to? "Does Paige have any other sources of income? She seems to be doing just fine." I sent and waited impatiently for a response, gnawing on my lip as I pondered the possibilities."I don't know," Rachel replies. "Maybe she inherited money or somethi
Selena POV“ We just started dating!” “ That's the more reason you need to bring him home, I need to meet him, bring him home” Dad ended the call.I stared at the telephone in my hand for minutes before placing it back on the cradle.“ I’ll head to my post now” Jane left.I pulled my phone out to call Jasper but it wasn't reachable, I tried for minutes still unreachable.Should I tell him or not? We just started dating, meeting my parents all of a sudden sounds kind of... I poundered.I find myself at a crossroads, torn between the desire to respect the boundaries of my new relationship and my desire to please my parents. After an hour of tossing and turning, I decides to take a chance." I don't know if I'll be back early or not, watch the office" I said to Jane and head out.Entering a taxi, I arrived at ByteForge Technology in no time. I head straight to Jasper's office." Is Mr Santos in his office?" I asked his secretary." No ma, Mr Santos is at a meeting right now, I don't kno
Colin POVI ran through the airport, pushing while getting pushed by people and Luggages carts, while I ran along the crowded path to the Arrival gate.“Flight BA2480 will be arriving now.” The announcement echoes through the bustling airport, my heart race, my breaths coming in short, sharp gasps as I push my way through the crowds. Sweat trickles down the side of my face, my eyes fixed on the arrival gate, where I spot the first passengers coming out.Pushing my way to the front of the gate, I scan the faces of the disembarking travelers, "Where are they?” my eyes darting from one face to another.Just as my hope begins to dwindle, I spot two familiar faces, Mom and Dad staring at the floor while dragging their luggages with them. Mom is looking so slim now, so is dad. I covered my face to wipe the tears on my face before they saw me. Sniffling my tears In." Mom, Dad!" I called out as soon as they walk out. Dad and mom raised their faces to see me, Mom smiled but Dad frowned.I ru
Colin POVOlivia's eyes flash, her hands still gripping the door. "You can't just throw me out like trash, Colin! I thought we had something special. You told me you Love me and now you won't even talk to me?"As Olivia rants, I heard mom's footsteps approaching, "Stray cats? But I thought I heard a woman's voice?"I freeze, glancing over my shoulder at mom, then back to Olivia's angry face.Just as my mom reached the door, I closed the door slightly. " Mom it's nothing, go get some rest" “ But I think I heard….”“Mom please!” I said in anger." Okay, okay!" Mom replied, taking a turn, she kept staring at me over her shoulder till she was out of sight. "Oh, I see. You're too ashamed to admit to your parents that you've something with me? I’m I so unpresentable to you, “ Olivia we had nothing together, all we had was sex on few occasions that's it!” “ On few occasions? Can you hear yourself speak? On those occasions you told me you love me, you told me we were dating, even after Se
Aviva POV “Please, Aviva,” Levi pleaded, “There has to be another way. You don’t have to do this.”I stared at him, “I’m sorry, Levi, But this is the path I’ve chosen. I won’t betray Elara.”, deep down I know fully well I can't place my mom's life in danger. I turned away from Levi, my heart in pain I couldn’t quite place it. I knew I’d hurt him, but I couldn’t back down. I owed Elara too much for that.Elara had promised me so much, a new life, a fresh start. But at what cost? Was it worth sacrificing my relationship with Levi? Was it worth the risk of losing everything I’ve worked for?For days I threw myself into my work at Global Reach, trying to bury my doubts and misgivings beneath paperwork and meetings. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t escape the nagging feeling that I’d made a terrible mistake. But at least, I got to give mom the better life she had given me. my phone rang and i glanced at it to see the caller Id Levi but i avoided the call. for days Levi had been
Levi POVI left the cafe, my mind was racing. I knew that Armstrong was right. I didn't have much time. Global Reach Enterprises was circling like vultures, waiting for ByteForge Technology to fall.But there had to be another way, a way to save my company without giving in to Thier demands.I pulled out my phone and dialed Dad's contact, i had promised myself i would never asked Dad for help but i guess i need to break my promise. “Hello Dad,” I said when he answered. “I need your help." “Levi?” Dad asked in surprise, “What is it, son? What’s going on?”I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I was about to say. “Dad, I’m in trouble. ByteForge is in trouble. I’m about to lose everything.”There was a long pause, and then Dad spoke. “I see. And what can I do to help?”" I want to know the real owner behind Global reach Enterprise, they want ByteForge , like there are desperate and any silly move from me might ruin everything, i want to know who i'm fighting not shadows" “T
Levi POVI sat in my office, replaying all that Aviva had said to me a while ago. For the past months my company ByteForge Technology has been going through a severe rough patch, is the breach thing Aviva talked about the cause? I sat down wondering.I paced around my office. Aviva’s words echoed in my mind, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. The security breach she mentioned could be the work of a disgruntled former employee? Or could it be something more sinister? As the CEO of ByteForge Technology I have to take this seriously. If someone was targeting our company, we needed to be prepared. But was Aviva telling the truth? Or was she part of something more nefarious?My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.“Come in,” I called, returning to my desk and trying to appear composed.My assistant, James, entered,“Sir, we’ve been contacted by Global Reach Enterprises. They want to speak with you about a…potential collaboration.”“Potential collaboration?
Aviva POVElara’s laughter faded away as she walked out, I could practically feel the tension in the room. We all knew what was at stake, what would happen if we failed.“Okay,” Parker said, breaking the silence. “So we get in, find the backup server, and get the info. Sounds simple enough.”I knew it wouldn’t be that simple, not with the high stakes and the security precautions in place. But I also knew that Parker was trying to lighten the mood, trying to keep us focused.The three of us left the conference room, each of us lost in our own thoughts. I could feel my legs getting heavy, making every step feel heavy and slow.“Don’t worry, Aviva,” Armstrong said, putting a hand on my shoulder. “We’ve got this. We’re going to get the information and get out, no problem.” I nodded, trying to smile. But I couldn’t help but feel creeped out. Something about this mission felt…off.Soon it got dark and we made our way towards Byteford Technology headquarters, disguising ourselves as janitors
Aviva POV“A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Rutherford,” I replied, trying to keep my voice from shaking. “I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this position with you.”“Indeed,” Elara said, her gaze assessing me “I’m sure you’re wondering why we’ve reconsidered your application after all this time.”I took a deep breath, gathering my courage. “I am curious, Ms. Rutherford.”“Have a seat,” she gestured for me to sit. I sat down in the chair across from her, feeling as if I were being measured and weighed, Elara leaned back in her chair, her eyes fixed on me. “I’m not going to lie to you, Miss Rogers. We’re desperate. Our recent ventures haven’t been as successful as we’d hoped, and we’re in need of new blood.”A chill ran down my spine at her words. “And you believe I’m the right person for the job?”Elara smiled, a cold, calculating smile. “I believe you have potential, Miss Rogers. You impressed us during the initial interview, and your determination to find employment even after we
Aviva POVThe disciplinary committee was a panel of three stern faced executives, each with a folder of documents in front of them. Bianca took her seat at the head of the table.“Aviva Rogers,” she said, her voice clear and authoritative. “You stand accused of falsifying company records and conspiring with other employees to undermine the authority of your superiors. How do you plead?”I opened my mouth to protest, but the words died on my lips. I knew it was useless. Bianca had made up her mind.“We have compiled a significant amount of evidence,” one of the disciplinary committee interjected, “But we’re willing to offer you a deal. If you confess, we’ll let you leave with a slightly more favorable recommendation.”I glared at him, my hands balled into fists under the table. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” I replied instead of pleading, “I refuse to confess to crimes I didn’t commit. I was set up!”The committee members exchanged glances, “Very well,” Bianca smirked,“We will proceed
Aviva POV" She would not if we all work together, we can cover for you. Divide up the work so it looks like you’re doing it all yourself, but we’re helping behind the scenes. i promise we would do it just like you and no one will notice" Jeff advised.I hesitated. It was a risky plan, and part of me worried about the consequences if we got caught. But the alternative of failing to meet Bianca’s impossible deadline was even worse. I nod at least I'll be able to get a good night's rest. Feeling renewed with hope, I returned to my desk and began sorting through the files, dividing them up among Jeff, Clara, Dana and Sarah who suggested she would help. We’d have to work quickly and discreetly, and we can do it.The hours passed, we passed the files around, each of us working on different sections. We didn’t talk, didn’t even look at each other. Finally, the clock, near midnight, the last file was finished.“Are you sure no one will notice?” I whispered to Jeff as I placed the files ba
Aviva POVSwallowing hard, I got up from my desk and made my way to Bianca’s office, each step feeling heavier than the last.I entered her office, and Bianca was standing by the window, her back to me. She didn’t turn as I approached.“Close the door,” she barked. I obeyed. What have I done wrong now?“You will never humiliate me like that again,” Bianca hissed, finally turning to face me.“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, Bianca’s eyes flashed with rage. “You spoke to James,” she spat. “You thought you could go over my head and complain about your little cleaning assignment, didn’t you?”I blinked, my mind reeling. How did she know? “I…I didn’t…”“Liar!” she shouted.It's obvious she knew about it yesterday. Why bring it up now? Is she trying to drive to something? I wondered, staring at her. I stood there, paralyzed, as Bianca paced back and forth in front of me, her heels hitting the floor hard.“You think you can outsmart me? You think you’re special just
Aviva POVI felt so relieved and I felt like I could breathe again. “Thank you, James, I appreciate your help.”“It’s no problem, Miss, Bianca can be a handful, and I know Levi wouldn’t want you to be treated like that. But if she continues to give you trouble, you need to tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself. Now, why don’t you head back in there and start proving your worth?”. I nodded smiling, I turned and head into the department office when i suddenly heard my name from Bianca's office, "Aviva come over" she said loud and i sighed before heading there, i got into her office and she leaned back into her chair." I saw the strings you pulled, but take this, " she threw a file to work, " work on it and submit it tomorrow." I caught the file mid air, feeling the contents,“What is it?” I asked, curious piqued despite my wariness.“It’s a project for one of our biggest clients,” Bianca said, leaning forward. “I expect you to review the numbers, make sure everything is in order, and hav
