[ Claire ]It took me time but I helped myself to converse efficiently with all the guests, I made sure that as a host, I give them equal attention. I answered their questions carefully, yet most of them see me as an incapable leader and believe that my father should take over the charge of the company since I had no experience of running a business which made me question my abilities.“Mrs. Pierce, I see how you’re glowing tonight.” I heard the familiar voice and I turned only to come face to face with Ryan Bale, standing a feet away from me holding a his drink. There was a smug look on his face.“Mr. Bale, I wonder why my husband invited you because it’s not a business party and he wasn’t obliged to keep a cordial relationship with you.” I approached him confidently.It wasn’t my father’s house where he’d have leverage over me.“So feisty? I fall more for you when you try to bite back, kitten.” He smirked and I wanted to puke how dirtily he commented on me like I was a piece of meat

[ Claire ]We talked very less since our last encounter at the party. He announced our collaboration without my permission or even discussing it with me but I could see visible change in the attitude of the senior officers in my company who used to express their dislike for me, now treats me with respect and seem eager to be a part of every decision making.Three days passed. I spent most of the time at office since my workload doubled with the responsibilities. I don’t even get chance to eat properly, let alone dwelling in my personal life’s turmoil. But I know, I can’t avoid a conversation with him for long, sooner or later, I have to face him.A soft knock on the door diverted my attention from the computer screen to Miss Kim, who was standing at the door.“Miss Kim, please come in, sorry I was totally engrossed in the new products’ quality check and various levels of testing, all the results look good. Let’s do the tasting tomorrow.” I smiled tiredly at her and yawned.“Ma’am, are

[ Claire ]“The food is really delicious. I have never come to such place before and it’s my bad luck that I have been deprived from such heavenly tastes and flavours.” Tristan, who was eating like a whale, commented as we proceeded on a dessert stall.“I told you. These street food stalls are my stress buster but be careful, everyone is looking at you. It’s not everyday when a billionaire walks among them.” I pointed at groups of people who were gawking at him, mostly girls which didn’t set well with me.“Why? Are you jealous, Mrs. Pierce?” He smirked as he noticed those females“Me and jealous? Dream on, Mr. Pierce.” I rolled my eyes but I literally choked on my dessert when a passing by woman winked at him.“Hey! Can’t you see that he’s married?” I yelled at her from behind.“Someone was saying that they’re weren’t jealous a moment ago.” He cleared his throat and I felt like the earth should swallow me alive.“I am not jealous but she was indecent. How can she flirt openly with a m

[ Tristan ]Numbness is what I felt at the bottom of my heart. My father was gone in a blink. I had left him fine, reading newspaper in the garden and talking with the maids, and now, his coffin was being lowered in the ground right in front of my eyes.Reality dawned upon me.I am officially an orphan. The man who guided me in every step of life, gave love of both parents while dealing with his own loneliness, he is no more. I won’t be able to seek his guidance or share my problems over a glass of bourbon.I didn’t realise when tears rolled from my eyes when they began to fill the grave.“Tristan.” Claire’s soft voice and her gentle tap on my shoulder forced me to tear my gaze from the grave to her.She was also crying silently. There were many people, they came to say their last goodbye to a great man but I felt all alone.After the final prayer. Everyone passed their condolences to me before leaving one by one, the sky began to turn dark as evening grew into night. We buried Dad. I

[ Claire ]It’s been a week since we buried Thomas. We slowly moved on with our work and lives. Tristan talks very less, I gave him space to overcome his loss but it worried me how he shelled himself. Thomas advised me to stay close to Tristan because he might lose himself in his self agony.My work also took a toll over me. My father was making it difficult for me to work smoothly, he turned the senior staff against me who create hurdle in ongoing projects by putting their objections and I am running thin with my patience. I have to obtain a milestone to shut them and have an upper hand over them.“Ma’am, can we go for lunch, you skipped the breakfast today.” Miss Kim said as we buried ourselves in reading the reports submitted by the marketing team which didn’t look promising.I rubbed my throbbing temple and stretched my arms. My stomach growled with hunger.“I think you’re right. We need a break from this nerve wrecking study. We’re definitely sailing on a sinking ship, Miss Kim.

[ Claire ]I couldn’t shake my mind off from what I heard from Caleb. It was disturbing because nobody had ever mentioned to me about someone whom I loved. Who was the man? Where is he now> And most importantly, why he never bothered to contact me if he loved me?“No, Claire, you can’t trust Caleb. Perhaps, he is trying to play mind games with you.” I chanted this mantra to myself to convince me that he was lying but deep down I knew that he didn’t.How many undiscovered secrets of my past is being hidden from me and why nobody wants me to remember my past?“Mom, why are you staring at the wall for last fifteen minutes? Can you see ghosts?” Travis pulled me out of my trance and I realised that my gaze was zeroed on the wall in front of me. He was giggling.“No, I was stressed about the work, nothing to worry about and I definitely don’t see the ghosts.” I masked my stress and inner dilemma by a smile.“Can we play chess or video games if you are free?” He asked me with hope and I had

[ Tristan ]I blinked my eyes at my wife to process what she had just requested me. Caleb told her about her past’s love. I told him many times to not mention it in front of Claire because then, she’ll be chasing the blurred chapter of her life and according to her doctors, stress might have a reverse effect on her. I don’t want her to cost her life for her memories and right now, by the way her eyes hopefully looking at me, I knew she won’t sit quiet until she finds her answers.“It’s okay if you don’t want to help. I can understand that you’re dealing with a lot nowadays. Just forget it.” She said when she didn’t receive any respond from me.“Will you leave me if you find your true love?” I asked her because I wanted to know how she feels for me as a new person, for her I am still a stranger.“What kind of a question is this, Tristan? How can I answer you when I haven’t seen him yet?” She seemed speechless and unprepared to answer this.“It’s important for me to know, Claire. I am n

[ Claire ]Tristan promised to help me in finding my past’s love. I saw insecurity in his eyes and a certain fear danced in his eyes.“Why do I feel that Tristan likes me?” I asked myself, I was zoned out since our last night’s moments kept replaying in my mind. I couldn’t face him in the morning due to shyness. I initiated a kiss between us, I didn’t intend to but once we started, it ended in a passionate make out.“What’s happening to me?” I touched my cheeks, they were heated.A knock on the door forced me to shake my wild and unstable thoughts aside.“Ma’am, you won’t believe who is here?” Miss Kim, with an astonished face entered in my office.“Who is here? The president of the country?” I joked since I knew about Tristan’s plan.“No, your husband’s company’s CEO and his team of five. Did you have any knowledge about their arrival?” She asked me.“No, we don’t discuss business at home. Where are they currently? Are they meeting my father or the company has welcomed them properly
