He sat there for a while, occasionally driving his fists into his dashboard. “Why are you so fucking stubborn?” he groaned. After a moment of contemplation, he got out of the car walking into the building to pay for parking. When he was out, he scanned the road for any sign of Catherine. When he saw none, he tailed the huge ball of steam following her. She was practically speed walking with her fists clung by her side. “Catherine,” he said when he had gotten directly behind her. She ignored him. “Wait,” he pulled her arm. “I will create a scene right her, right now!” she threatened. “I know, and I don’t care. Please hear me out.” She turned away, walking even faster. He pulled her arm again. “Wait up,” he pleaded. “Wait for you to throw another insult at me? No thank you,” she continued walking. “Can you not be impossible for once?” She stopped walking for a second. Donovan was scared. “Please hear me out,” he continued. “You’ve got thirty seconds, I’m listening”. “Look,

Donovan drove home with the worst look on his face. “I insisted on driving,” Kenny said. “Yeah, then your bestie called me out for being lazy. Why’d you come, anyway?” “I don’t know why you’re getting so upset. It’s not like I kissed the girl” “Who knows whether you have, you snake” “Wait, wait, wait. Where is all this coming from?” “You know that she compared my cooking to yours” “Wait, you cooked?” Kenny chuckled. “Yes, I did, and it was delicious. I don’t know what’s so funny about that” “Donovan Smith, the proper misogynist, cooked for a woman” “Yeah, I can be a lover boy too” “Watch the road lover boy,” Kenny pointed towards the truck in front of them” “Weren’t you the bastard that said women should never have been given the right to vote?” “That was a long time ago” “Barely three months ago, at Davis park when we were playing pool” “Three months, Kenny. A lot has happened since then. I’m a changed man now” “Dony, you can never change. Leave the girl before you hurt

“Sir, I’d like to give you the latest report on the senatorial race,” Catherine said, squaring her shoulders. Work was still as it was, highly professional. She didn’t as much as bat an eyelash in his presence. “Speak,” Donovan instructed without moving his eyes from his computer. “I just got off the phone with the borough president. The mayor is now endorsing Nigel’s campaign,” she explained. “What does he want?” he questioned. “He’s hoping to have more hold in the state legislature, since Nigel belongs to his party he’s more than happy to help,” she said. “Sounds like a fair exchange, given the main reason we wanted this position was to make Nigel mayor,” he remarked. “Mayor?” her eyes widened. “Yes, Mayor. You think we’d be going through all this trouble for a mere senator’s position? Pay close attention, Catherine. This is how the rich operate. Consolidate your power while you have it,” he explained. “I see,” she stretched. “Anything else?” “No sir” “Sit down, I

“Dony, what’s this about Catherine moving away?” Kenny said walking behind Donovan. “She moved away, that’s it. Where have you been anyway?”“I needed to clear my head, why’d you fire her?” Kenny asked. Donovan’s eyes bulged out, “I didn’t,” he lied. “Donovan, stop lying,” he said. Donovan gave him an apprehensive look. “Look Kenny I really don’t the to talk about it,” he cupped his face in his palms.“It can not be that bad”“ She found out about Nigel,” his expression had suddenly changed. Kenny was stunned, “How?”.Donovan shifted his laptop, scrolling through the endless receipts, screenshots of texts, security footages and even pictures Nigel had taken of his victims. “I didn’t think it was this extreme”“Neither did I”“Have you heard from Catherine?”“Not even a peep. Immediately I fired her, she sent me a screenshot of her conversation with Dubel”“What?”“I’m surprised she hasn’t sold us out yet”“You think so?”“Look,” Donovan turned on the TV in his office. “I’ve bee

“What a relief,” Kenny sighed, “I thought you had killed him.” He walked out of the elevator and into the living area. “Me too,” Donovan said dropping his watch onto the kitchen island. “This house feels so empty these days, no one’s ever at home.“Yeah, they’ve been enjoying vacation time while the rest of us are out here working,” he said. “Let me guess, they said they would get swarmed with work after Nigel wins?”“Yeah, something along that line,” Donovan said, taking a pause. He suddenly remembered the election and all the weight pulling him down. How was Catherine doing? He had gone a straight week without seeing or talking to her.“I’d like to go to bed Kenny,” he announced. “What’s you problem?”“Nothing,” he said, grabbing an apple from the tray and walking in the direction of the elevator. “Goodnight you wet blanket,” Kenny said. ***Donovan couldn’t sleep the whole night. He huffed, running his fingers through his hair. “What do I do?” he asked himself. “Do about what

“Cathy, we haven’t seen you in a minute. Where have you been?” Teresa asked, as Catherine pushed the door of café nexco in and the bell chimed. She had to be careful about her answer. Whether or not she liked it, she was still tied to the Smiths, and her NDA was very much valid. Donovan never gave her a dissolution of an agreement document. “Tessa!” she walked in with a smile on her face. Teresa moved from behind the counter, giving Catherine an enormous hug. Her curly hair shun in the dim light of the coffee shop. Tessa was a real beauty. “You look pretty, baby,” she spun Catherine around like a doll. “Thank you,” she blushed. “When’d you buy a pencil skirt?” she said, as they both laughed. Her faced turned serious suddenly. “No, boo, where have you been?” Catherine was surprised. She tried her best to evade the question. “I’ve been…at work,” she stuttered. “What? You made me lose mine, and you scored one for yourself?” Tessa taped her shoulder. Catherine laughed, to think a

“You girls ready?” Rose was putting the finishing touches on Teresa’s make up.“Yeah, we’re about to get lit,” Teresa shouted.“Hold up, nobody said anything about drinking”“Do we have to say it, Cathy? We’re getting lit”“Woah,” Teresa and Rose shouted. “Stop all your hooting and hollering. The neighbors are gonna complain.”“Who’s paying for the Uber?” Teresa asked with concern.“Abby,” she answered. Teresa sighed with relief.“Are you guys sure about this? I mean, we still have ten seasons of that Telenovela to go.”“Yeah, the same way we have ten years to thirty,” Rose sneered.“Cathy, we’re not going to be twenty forever! Live a little,” Tessa conquered. The same words her mother had once told her in the past when she was working her ass off to get the best grades and fit in with her friends at her new school.It usually started with, “Cat cake, like, isn’t hard, so don’t make it be.”Her mother was an okay one, but made her own fair share of poor decisions. In fact, she never s

Ruby straightened out her clothes and headed back inside, trying her best to maintain a neutral demeanor. “How was the talk?” Rose asked. Catherine was about to explode. She wanted to ask who gave her the right to interfere and act like she’s known her her entire life. She was so mad. Destroying another friendship with horrible words wouldn’t be a problem, but she didn’t. She cleaned her tears and put on her big girl pants. “It was fine,” she said plainly. “How do you know Ruby, by the way?” Abby asked. “We used to be friends in high school,” she explained. “Used to?” Rose whispered. “How about you Rose? How do you and Ruby know each other?” “She was Ruby’s roommate” “Oh, so that’s how you two know each other. I thought you worked together,” Abby said. “No, we don’t. Catherine is only helping out for me” “Really, that’s nice” “Yeah, my company just cut down on staff, so I’m jobless,” she said recklessly. “Really, my friend that manages the exclusive lounge of a popular hot

Thomas had helped them a great deal. After the words “I have it,” that he spoke to Lily over the phone, no one had heard a peep from her in months.Her baby was found on his doorstep alongside a note that he didn’t bother to read.Donovan was certain it was a confession of her lover for him. He beat himself up for a long time for not being able to recognize that she was obsessed with him. Life had been good, quiet. It didn’t take Catherine very long to get acquainted with his niece. Her father was, indisposed.They became more open with other people, family, friends, business partners, they learnt to forgive right after buying up all Zenith shares with the help of the ghost partner and replacing the entire board. It was a sigh of new beginnings for everyone.Lily was discovered later at a rehabilitation center in a foreign country. Now it was clear where she had gotten her evidence to plant. Kenny was released from prison almost immediately. He and Teresa finally became official. They

After everything, the meeting ended in a deadlock. There was no amount of money Donovan offered them that picked their interest. Lily’s goal was to get him locked up as revenge for what he did. The dimly lit room didn’t quite help. Shadows danced on the walls as they were cast of a horror movie. There were series of questioning which was the interrogator practically putting words into Kenny’s mouth. It was such a horrible sight. Donovan tried his best to keep his calm but some part of the interrogation became unbearable. He slammed his hand on the steel table when it got to unbearable. He was escorted out afterwards. “We’ll get through this. Stick to the legal advice, and we’ll do our best to protect Kenny.” His legal representative tried to pacify him. He had tried his best but they so resolute. Donovan was clueless as to how to get through his current situation. Donovan nodded in acknowledgment knowing fully well that the only person who could solve this issue was Lily. He had t

The Donovan woke up with a splitting headache. He had to make Lily pay one way or another. After all the time she had lied to him, it was the least she deserved. Just a little social buzz had made her quiet. Public exposure was the least he could do. This was the worst betrayal he had ever experienced. With all this he couldn’t bring himself to look at the girl he called his daughter differently. She was his niece anyway and he still had a responsibility towards her. Donovan was struggling and in deep thought when he was alerted by Janet that he had a visitor. He wondered whether Lily had come to back the rest of her things. She made an entire soap opera, rolling in the floor and begging him. She claimed it was the first time and she did it because she felt lonely. That was understandable, but Donovan had to confirm for himself. Not surprisingly, the CCTV footage said otherwise. His punishment for Lily came with a bit of backlash anyway as the online attention was quite excessive.

Thomas sat down glancing at his watch from time to time. He held his iced latte sipping on it slowly. If Lily didn’t show up he was going to leave. The ambiance of the place was nice, and the coffee, even if it was expensive still hit the spot.He spotted her from afar. There was no way to miss her. Even with her elaborate disguise, you could sense her elitist spirit from afar. The Gucci scarf and Versace glasses gave her away. Social media has been buzzing with the news of her infidelity.The backlash on Nigel wasn’t easy either, he was now the official black sheep. Failed career, no steady relationship. The pair did a number on themselves. Cause of injury- self-inflicted. She walked in sweating and panting like she had run a marathon, and failed.“Are you okay?” he asked examining her demeanor, “Should I get you something to drink?”“No, I’m fine. I just need your help, it’s not going to be a long one.”“What do you need?” he furrowed his brows.“You know what I need,” she was getti

Donovan was burdened by guilt and wrestling with his thoughts. He just had to go home. He was in a daze. Multiple scenarios and reflections play out in his mind, amplifying the weight of his past assumptions and the impact on Catherine.“I messed up. I can’t believe I thought she betrayed me,” he said muttering to himself. Lost in his thoughts, he barely registered his surroundings. “Mr. Donovan! Are you alright? You’ve been standing there for ages.” Donovan was pulled out of his reverie, looks around, realizing the passage of time.“I… I’m fine. Just lost in my thoughts.”Janet was concerned. She observed Donovan’s troubled demeanor , “Is everything okay, sir? You seem really upset.”Donovan managed to force a smile, “I’ll be alright. Just a lot on my mind.”Janet was unconvinced but just had to respect his privacy. She left Donovan to his thoughts. There was a strange atmosphere that followed. He was burdened by Catherine’s revelations, it took an emotional toll on him. He handed

Thomas battled a fever throughout the night, Catherine couldn’t bring herself to leave him in his state. Conflicting emotions added another layer of discomfort. She wanted to be compassionate and supportive, but everything that had happened so far made it challenging to offer solace without judgment. “I’m sorry Catherine.” Thomas tossed and turned. “I know you are, but you’re not well. Let me take care of you.” Underneath her caring gestures, is an unconscious judgment that she had already passed on him. There was a struggle to reconcile the person she thought Thomas was with the actions. Catherine tried her possible best to navigate between empathy and her own feelings of hurt. It was morning, Catherine faced Thomas who was lying on the bed. There was definitely a need for a conversation about what happened. Even though he was unwell, the situation called for immediate concern. The atmosphere was fragile. She just couldn’t trust him again, not after all the lies and secrets. Who

The way Thomas had been on the phone recently was unnerving. He obviously was discussing things related to work but the intensity of the conversation caused even Damien to be unsettled. The baby would turn in his sleep, causing Catherine to worry. It was morning. Thomas was on his regular routine. Catherine, feigned interest in a magazine, subtly adjusting herself in the soft cushion. She needed a compostable position if she was really ready to eavesdrop on Thomas’s increasingly intense work conversation. These days, he was too immersed in work and put in extra hours. She wondered whether he was doing it to stay away from her. The distance was good, at least he wasn’t breathing down her neck anymore, it helped her think but now, the house started to feel a bit empty even with all the helps around. The hushed tones and cryptic discussions fueled her curiousity, leaving her unable to shake the nagging feeling that he might be involved in something off. She was very interested in whate
Loved by the billionaire “What was it?”
Why did he do that? The overwhelming jealousy and need to control had caused him to blurt out something so stupid, ‘I’ll call you?’ really. Donovan brushed his hand across his face as he best himself up. That was on of the most foolish things he had done in a long time. All because of Catherine. He wondered what people might think of him and how many people heard him. The car ride seemed to have become longer than he recalled it was when they departed. The car took an abrupt turn barging into his concentration. He faced the driver sternly, “I thought you do this for a living, how do you make money when you cannot do your job properly?” The driver stared back at him with pursed lips and an apologetic look on his face. “Hey, what’s gotten into you?” Lily asked. Immediately, he collected himself, “I’m sorry,” he apologized. The driver gave an assertive look and continued his journey. He couldn’t wait to go and wash all the shame off his body. He was upset, why did Catherine run off l
Loved by the billionaire “Huh?”
“Shit!” he punched into the sofa. Anger and sadness took a hold of him in that moment. Even though his meeting Catherine outside was extremely coincidental, Thomas emerging from his hotel room in that exact moment wasn’t something he expected.The only thing his presence did was create unnecessary tension and angst.“Donovan,” Lily said rubbing eyes with both hands. “What’s wrong?” she whispered. He didn’t put his sleeping child into consideration before his tantrum.“I’m fine, I’m fine,” he said slumping into the sofa.“You’re upsetting Lily,” she protested.He sighed, “I’m sorry, I’m-” Donovan shot out of his chair and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.He walked to the sink and opened the faucet, throwing water aggressively across his face. He wasn’t still satisfied with the result. Donovan let the later run in his palm till it flowed over. He vigorously washed his face again. Why did Thomas have to come?In that moment, Donovan thought about a number of ways t
