Michael's POV

All through the evening I couldn't keep my eyes off her.

The last time I saw Marietta dressed this way was four years ago.

The last party we threw at Grandma’s place, where Katty and myself had successfully disgraced–

“What’s up, man?” A familiar voice resounded from behind.

Looking behind me, it was no one else than my competitor.

“What do you want?” I asked, looking away.

“You know,” he started.

“I don’t want you going near Marietta.” he stiffened.

“As what? Her man? Her fiance? Her bodyguard?” I seethed.

“The last time I checked, you made her suffer!” Jackson bellowed.

“And you watched her suffer! What does that make you?” I flinched.

“Do you think you are any better than me?” I snarled.

“I’m here to win back her heart. So back off,” I spat.

“You’ve been there with her once, Michael. You lost your chances,” Jackson lashed.

“And I’m back to correct my wrongs. So back out!” I replied.

Just as the conversation was getting tense, Jackson’s phone rang.

“Hello,” he stared a

    Michael’s POVLast night was close. Bella had ruined the moment.“Oh shit!” I jumped out of bed.“I think it’s high time I got another personal assistance.” I heaved a sigh.With the hot water washing down my whole body I shut my eyes closed. FLASHBACK“Are you scared of falling for me?” I walked slowly towards her.“Stay back, Michael. Please,” “Why?” My voice was barely above a whisper.“It’s because…”“Because what?” I asked, finally standing in front of her.She was already in her nightdress. But even with the night dress, she still looked hot.I must have been a fool to throw all this away for Katty.“Michael, we don’t need you in our lives,” she said, taking a step back.“Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t want me back?” I whispered.My gaze lingered on her lips and my eyes scrutinized her body.“I…” I watched her stuttered. And I can agree that she still loves me.I moved closer to her, my right hand placed on the wall close to her face.Her lips trembled, and her eyes

If you will excuse me,” I said.Standing up to take my leave, my gaze lingered on Jackson.“Can we talk?” He asked with pleading eyes.“I don’t want to have anything to do with any of you. Can you please leave me alone?” I yelled.Forgetting that I was in an office setting. I stormed out in anger.“Clara, annul every meeting for today,” I commanded.“Ma’am, this is going to affect some of the contracts we are to sign with the Hollywood’s best–”“Since when did you start questioning my order?” I barked.“I-I’m sorry ma’am.” she bowed. “You have a call ma’am,” Clara chimed. “I’m not in the mood for calls.” I rebuked.Making my way towards the car, Clara called.“It’s Valerie, ma’am.” Just as she mentioned Valerie I quickly took a pause. “Valerie says she wants to see her father,” Clara relayed her message.Yesterday was her birthday and now she’s asking to see her father?“Listen, Va

    Marietta’s POVThe rays of the sun shine brighter.Reflecting through the white curtains which were tossed by the gentle breeze. I yawned and was about to stretch when I realized I wasn't the only one on the bed. “What the–” I covered my mouth in shock.Raising the bed sheet quickly. I realized I was still intact. “Thank God,” I said.Shoving off the bed sheet, I gently picked up my heels and my handbag. “Headache…” I muttered. Placing a head on my head. Last night's memories came crashing back. FLASHBACK “Let her go!” He ordered. Quickly, the hoodlums turned their attention away from me. “You are a fine young man.” Their leader scoffed. Reaching for one of the iron rods on the floor. A fight ensued.“We are sorry!” Was the next word they chroused.“Scram!” The man yelled. Dropping their weapons they all scurried off. My eyes were already dimming when this stranger helped me. But how I ended up in his bed was what I couldn't remember. FLASHBACK FADES “Bella, I'm scared,

    Michael's POVI had closed for the day's work. I was heading home when my phone suddenly rang in my pocket. I was about to pick up the call when one of the staff called out to me. “Mr. Whitmore,” she ran towards me. No doubt, Gloria was the best lady I've ever worked with. She is a good woman as far as I know. A genius when it comes to Artificial intelligence and Machine learning. And yes, I admire her for that. Gloria is smart, intelligent, independent and to top it all–she’s beautiful.Ever since I employed her, she has always been admiring me. And yes, I’d be lying if I were to say I didn’t notice that.“Yes,” I answered. Adjusting my glasses to look at her. She seemed a bit shy, but I looked past her shyness and just kept my calm.Is everything okay?” I questioned.“Y-Yes.” She stuttered.“Since we won the contract. I was thinking you’d be interested in the night party,” she proposed.“Not at all. I’ll pass. Enjoy,” I responded coldly.Just as I was about to leave, her

And the only person my daughter wants to see is her father?“Are you a joke?”“You have to calm down, Marietta.” Bella cautioned.“She’s just a child,” she added.“A child?” I repeated.Turning towards Clara. “Search Valerie’s room,” I said.Wiping off my tears, “Search it thoroughly, and take off anything that can serve as a means of communication!” “Yes ma’am.” Clara bowed.Taking my jacket, I headed downstairs.“Where are you going?” Bella asked.I could still hear Valerie’s cries from her room. But it was the least of my worries.“I’m going to find Michael,” “Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?” Bella questioned.“No, I’ll be fine,” I replied.“Get me my car keys,” I commanded one of the guards.Quickly, I took over the driver’s seat. Ordering the guards to stay back. I made my way down to Michael’s house.My heart raced faster as tears trickled down my face.For the first t

All I knew was that he was the one who had rescued me that day.What isn’t clear to me is why he was always there to prevent me from harm.Am I starting to feel something for him? I’m not sure, what it was.I mean, it’s only normal for anyone to fall for their superheroes. Just like in novels.“The Blumhouse productions–”“What about them?” I asked, aiming towards my office.“They said they will only partner with us. If only we can join hands with the Sterlings and Whitmore for the ongoing AI movie production,” Clara replied.“What do you think?” I stared at Clara.“At this stage, if we refused to join hands with them, the company might crumble,” Clara answered.She is right.

How come I overlooked that?” “Bella, I’m sorry,” I stuttered.“When did you find out?” She asked. “Last week,” I answered. “Seriously Marietta. What were you thinking? I’m your best friend.” she said, wiping off my tears.“I don’t want to scare you. And I don’t want to die now, Bella.” I burst into laughter. “What are your chances?” Bella asked, swallowing hard.“The doctor said it's fifty-fifty chance,” I stuttered.“Oh, Etta my dear,” Bella patted my back.“You will undergo the surgery. In my hospital, very soon.” Bella picked up her bag and aimed towards the door.“Bella, the doctor said I might not survive it,” I cried out.“So you want us to sit and do nothing?” Bella questioned.“Bella I can die,” I repeated.“Get a grip on yourself, girl!” Bella lashed out.Motioning to

With my clothes on, actually. “Work with me. And I promise to pay double of whatever it is my father has promised,” he said.Pushing the documents to me.
