George's Point of ViewIt was a bittersweet feeling for me returning home after months away. I had spent much time longing for home and imagining the city and the familiar street, I miss being in the comfort of my home, however as my car moved down the street to my home, something didn't feel okay with me. The air became thick and the sight that welcomed me as I drove through the driveway was nothing but a nightmare. My house, my home, Reed Enterprise was looking different, the paint wasn't as fresh as it used to be and the garden was overgrown with weeds and there were quite unfamiliar cars parked at the driveway.I stepped out of the car and my heart started ringing hard in my chest, strangers were carrying boxes out of the front door and laughing and chatting like it was their home. I quickly approached the gate and beacon to a man who seemed like he was supervising them. "Hey! What exactly is going on here in my home? This is my house." The man's face was contorted with confusi
George Point of View I then started heading towards my car. Immediately I got into my car. I dialed Trent's line, I have gotten several of his mails and messages as well for the past months, the last time I got mail from both Trent and Lenore was months ago. It was like everyone had forgotten about my existence. “Mr. George?” Trent asked immediately as he picked up my call, his voice was filled with surprise. “am I really hearing from Mr. George?” I could feel the astonishment from his voice.“Yes, Trent, it is me,” I said and tried to keep my voice steady. “I need to see you right away. It is very important I said. “Oh! Sure! We need to see and discuss,” he said. “Where should we meet?” I asked immediately, I was ready to go anywhere he wanted us to see. Immediately, I quickly drove to the location he sent to me. It was at a quiet café. Trent looked very different—more serious, more burdened. He greeted me with a firm handshake, but his expression was guarded.“What’s going on,
It's been months now that I have heard from Lenore. Ever since she came to my house and I presented her with the divorce papers, and I watched her signed it without any hesitation or argument and leaving my house without any words was the last time I had heard from her. I knew I had used her to my advantage and I treated her like she was nothing, however, her absence hit me harder than I had thought and I really do miss Lenore. I miss her presence especially in my life, the way she organized things flawlessly, her strength and how she always got my back even when I knew I didn't deserve it. I missed her as my secretary and in all I missed protecting her. My relationship with Yvonne hasn't been smooth as I thought, it had been on and off especially since she had informed me that she had a miscarriage, after I was looking forward to a child with her, reason I divorced Lenore within a short time after the marriage contract. I wasn't myself ever since and it was as if my life was crumb
Trent Point of viewAfter I ended the call, I couldn't even check my mail, it was as if the pressure of everything was crumbling down on me. Mr George's revelation about who Lenore was and now it appears that Knight Industries has just been scammed. I quickly took some permission to leave from Mr. George and I promised him to catch up late in the day. I walked straight to my car and drove to my office. My mind was filled with everything that I needed to handle. The EverTop Multinational Company issue was now my priority to deal with. Stepping into the office building, I walked straight up to Janet's desk and I could see that nervousness was written all over her face immediately she saw me, and it didn't in any way help my growing frustration."Janet" I called her name sharply. "Tell me what you told me about over the phone, I want to listen again. "Janet fumbled with the papers on her desk before finally pulling up a mail."Sir. The EverTop Multinational Company sent this mail, they
Yvonne Point of ViewThe Mall buzzed with life when I walked towards the aisles of the jewellery section as I admired the shimmering necklaces and sparkling earrings displayed in the glass cases. The sales assistants were nearby and they were eager to assist with whatever I wanted, however, I waved on it then that approached me off for a moment. My phone suddenly vibrated in my handbag and I pulled it out to answer the call, seeing that it was Janet's name that was displayed on the screen, I quickly answered with a casual tone. "Yes, Janet?" Her voice came through filled with fears. "Miss Yvonne, I just got a termination mail from Knight industries. My appointment has been terminated. Mr Trent has instructed the HR to issue me a termination mail" she said, her voice quite trembling. I smirked with her amused distress. "Just calm down, Janet. You have already done enough. You were there for a purpose and I guess the purpose has been achieved. At least I was glad our aim has been ach
The air was quite tense as my heart rang heavily in my chest as the men surrounded me. They faces were fully covered behind the masks and I couldn't recognize any one if them as they pointed gun directly to my head. I clenched my fist and wanted to fight them back, however the metal barrels that they pointed at me didn't provide any room for my bravery. "Hand those files and laptop to over to me" one of them screamed at me. My teeth immediately gritted as I reluctantly handed them my files and other necessary documents related to EverTop Multinational Company. They were the crucial files, the only evidence and chance I got in fighting out their behind the scam, however, the plan was well orchestrated by those scammers and everything was gone in a blink of an eye.One of the patted my pocket, I didn't know what he was looking for, probably my phone and he missed it. Maybe they were in a hurry or they were careless, but my phone was the only thing that they left with me. As quickly as
Yvonne’s Point of ViewThe room light was quite low, and the scent of the expensive cologne filled in the air of the room as I lay in the silk sheet. My body was still filled with Mr. Donovan's body; we just enjoyed ourselves sexually, and I could still hear his breathe deeply. He really enjoyed it. However, I didn't enjoy him as much as I used to, especially since I began my sexual escapade with my secret lover. I despised the choice that I have made with Mr. Donovan; however, it's not yet time to stop; I have to still keep on playing games with him. Mr. Donovan had transferred a sum of $20 million to my account just after our sexual fun. It was for a job well done on Knights Industries. I quicker checked through my phone as there was it a message stating the deposit of the sum of 20 million dollars.“Go treat yourself,” he said with a smug grin, his hand lazily resting on my thigh.“Thank you, Donovan,” I said, forcing a smile. Inside, I felt sick. The idea of thanking a man who ha
George Point of ViewAfter Trent left, I was frozen right in my seat. His quick departure left me unsettled; however, I didn't ask him what was wrong; I have enough on me to deal with already; my world has obviously fallen apart, and I needed everyone's bit of focus to get it fixed. I took a quick glance at the half-empty glass of wine on the table. The dark liquid swirled in the glass as if mirroring the disaster in my head. I took a deep breath, picked up the glass, and gulped it down my throat, letting the bitterness burn my throat. it still didn't help. Nothing was helpful anymore. I trapped my keys from the table and tossed them right in my hand as I stood up and walked to my car. The street was blurred as I drove back to the hotel where I had lodged. My once lavish estate wasn't mine any longer, and my company had been taken away from me. The pressure of everything pressed down heavily on my chest. The hotel loomed into view; it's towing offered a little comfort. As I parked
YVONNE POINT OF VIEWWhen I woke up. I didn't meet Mr. Donovan on the bed; the sun was streaming through the curtains. Mr. Donovan had woken up before me. As I stretched up. I pushed off the covers and headed straight to the bathroom. I quickly took a long, hot shower, which helped me to shake off the remaining sleep and the heaviness that had engrossed my chest since yesterday.I quickly got dressed and back my outfit. As I walked back into the living room, I found Mr. Donovan sitting on one of the couches, and his eyes were glued to the news right on the massive flats television screen. "Good morning, sir," I greeted as I tried to sound quite cheerful and then he turned to me briefly."Are you leaving already?" he asked. "Yes," I responded and grabbed my pause. "I have many things to do today." He quickly nodded without bothering to press further."It's Alright! We will talk later. Don't forget to call me if anything comes up," he said and I responded with a smile as I walked out
DONOVAN POINT OF VIEW After my meeting with Mr. Oliver, I was filled with a mixture of pride and disbelief as I walked out of the incredible mansion. It sounded unreal to me that I would be earning 500 million dollars per month and unbelievable that I already got the job. I quickly informed James, my driver, to take me back to my office. As I sat in the car, I couldn't help but replay everything in my mind. How Mr. George had warned me that I shouldn't have given half of my company's shares to Mr. Donovan. I felt I had no choice; Knight Industries was in critical scandals and Donovan was my life now and now I began to wonder if I had truly made a mistake.However, it was not anything to regret. Mr. Donovan had helped me to clear Knight Industries' name from the Internet and had helped me open the way for the opportunity I just had with Oliver Group. If Knight Industries was still buzzing with scandals, there was no way I would have gotten this job offer from Oliver Group.James was
TRENT POINT OF VIEWI drove around the city street, and the quiet hum of the engine filled in the silence in my car. The night was still, which was unusual, with a soft glow of the street lights that cast a long shadow across the pavement. As I moved closer to Yvonne's house, I felt some unusual feelings settling hard in my chest; something wasn't just right, and I felt like probably she was deliberating avoiding me. I pulled up through her driveway and I parked and stepped out of the car as I felt the cool night air brush against my skin. Her hours were quite dark and there was no light inside, and I felt quite lifeless and abandoned even as I approached her door and pressed her doorbell as I waited for the familiar sound of her footsteps. However, I got nothing.I rang the doorbell again, and this time, I leaned closer to the door if I would somehow call her out, but there was still no response. I felt quite frustrated and I pulled out my phone and immediately dialled her number.
YVONNE POINT OF VIEW After the intense, deep, and draining sex with Mr. Donovan, I felt quite trapped in a villa like a caged bird with clipped wings. Everything in my body wanted to leave; I wanted to have breathing space to clear my head. The air with Mr. Donovan was quite suffocating; it was heavy and the weight of his presence and all the evil things he did kept on pressing against me. I really wanted to meet Pete tonight. I wanted to use him to clear off my head; at least with Pete by my side, I could forget all my sorry and pains for the night. I didn't want it to linger till tomorrow. "You are staying right here with me tonight, Yvonne," he said firmly as he dark eyes were fixed on mine; they were stable and unmoving."You are quite not in your right state of mind to leave." I look back deeply at him, I wanted to argue, wanted to tell him that I have more important things to attend to, however, his tone didn't allow any room for any opposition, he wasn't asking me. He was co
DONOVAN'S POINT OF VIEWI rested my back against the marble countertop in my bathroom as I watched Yvonne stand staring blankly at the tile. The air was quite thick with the smell of lavender; however, I could see that her mind was far away, and her hands trembled faintly as it betrayed the fears she was trying so hard to hide. I had requested she pull the trigger on Janet, which she did, but the fears in her eyes at that moment were the ones mixed with innocence and shock. I wasn't surprised; Yvonne was still far from the hard person I was training her to become. She was indeed a work in progress, and I was shaping her; little by little, I was breaking her innocence; it would be one task at a time. "Let us go," I said. My voice was calm now but firm. "You really need to stop thinking about it. Janet was absolutely nothing. You did what was needed to be done; you did what was necessary." She nodded slightly to me and her lips pressed into a thin line. "I'm sorry! It is just that; i
TRENT'S POINT OF VIEWI slammed my hand hard in the steering wheel, frustration bubbling hard inside of me with each second passing. I was chasing after the cars—the fleeting expensive cars that Lenore entered one of it from the mall. I had to get to see Lenore; it's more than a mission to find her. I needed to see her. Make things up with her, I had messed up, I had hurt her, and I couldn't let her go anymore. Lenore wasn't just someone I had hurt in the past. She was the little young child that I hit with my car years ago. I thought she was dead, and for years, I had carried out the guilt, blaming myself for what had happened, and now that I knew she was still the same Lenore I knew, I couldn't ignore the way I felt anymore; I had to get her and make it right with her by all means possible. It wasn't just about me trying to make it right with her for my past mistakes only. But I knew she was capable more than I could ever imagine; back when she was my secretary in Knight Industrie
YVONNE POINT OF VIEWI didn't know that Janet's judgement came very quickly. It has happened way faster than I had thought. I realised that Mr. Donovan was more colder and more dangerous than I had imagined. As I stood in the middle of the room, my heart raced; however, I quickly braced it up with bravery; there was no turning back now. I needed to act brave because I couldn't show bravery in front of him, not when we were about to deal with that bastard called Janet. Seeing her being tied up, helpless and struggling, I felt quite happy. She was just an ordinary coward; she was nothing more than a little rate. A rate who dared to have threatened me threatened us over the phone. For what exactly? Money, power? She was absolutely nothing!. I had pulled her out of the gutter and given her a chance for her life to be changed, but what did she do instead? She got greedy and wanted more; she thought she could threaten me and go away with it; she didn't know those that she was dealing with
DONOVAN POINT OF VIEWWhen I was informed by Yvonne that she had seen Lenore, my mind went crazy, and I immediately knew what to do. I couldn't allow someone like her to interfere with my plans anymore. She wasn't even at all in any way a threat to me. The truth was that she was nobody's child, and I had known her since George adopted her, and it was well known to me that George wasn't her biological father. I had known that George, the woman who died, she wasn't even able to conceive before her death, and because of that, I had no iota of emotional investments whatsoever in Lenore. However, Yvonne's words sent a chill down my spine; she has said the lady she found wasn't Lenore and that the lady had insisted that her name was Ella and was living with her parents in the same house that happened to belong to George. The same house that I sold to a very wealthy zillionaire. "Ella?" I repeated quite confused. "Are you sure it wasn't Lenore?" I asked, my voice filled with curiosity and
TRENT POINT OF VIEWI kept staring at the mail on the screen of my phone. The mail was so hard to believe. It stated that if I was interested in managing their company as the director, I could come in for an interview. The address and every other necessary detail were already stated in the mail. The offer seemed almost too good to be true. After everything I had been through recently, I wasn't sure if I could trust this. The last thing I wanted now was to be scammed again. However, I kept reading the mail over and over again. Looking for any traps or hidden red flash, but there was none. Unlike the previous deal that I had. I wouldn't invest anything, so there was no way I could get robbed—no upfront payment, no fees, no hidden requirements. It was just an offer to manage the company with a substantial monthly salary.I couldn't deny the joy that kept bubbling up inside of me. A steady paycheck that could change everything; if I could save up some substantial amount, it might just he
