Kiara pov"I have to talk with you now…"Three weeks after I started working as Bryant's official secretary this was the conversation that I had with his former fiancee Anna I knew that like his grandmother she also heated me intensely and she despised me not only because of the accident but she was infuriated about the fact that Bryant will remember me but completely forget about her but that's never my fault.The first conversation we were having since I got appointed as a secretary I could see that she was trying her best to avoid me, which was why I was surprised when I heard return back.I realized that she had called me, so urgently I came in and felt like the air was divided and I was supposed to know where I stood in front of her. She had her legs crossed wearing a thick rope and glaring at me if looks could kill then I would have probably been six feet under by now."So I've been asking around about your work and apparently you managed to not drive the company to bankruptcy y
Kiara Pov He just laughed showing off his nasty smirk. "Well, I didn't ask you if you could do it because I don't care," The oxygen inside of the elevator was becoming so uncomfortable and I was struggling to even breathe and all this man was making me feel suffocated by his presence and just by his words I was seeing the predatory looks in his eyes made me wish that I could just run over the elevator and find my way to whatever floor but he was not allowing me to escape blocking every attempt towards the door. "Why do you always keep trying to run away from me? Do you think that you are even good enough for me in the first place?" I was so fed up with this. "Oscar please this is enough if I am not up to your standards why do you keep on bothering me? Why can't you just let me live?" He was suddenly as stiff as a statue not moving an inch at all, he looked like he was on the verge of either bursting into laughter or raging in anger and he did the more expected. Bursting out in
Kiara povI was glad that the occasion that was giving me many sleepless nights was finally here and now I could rest easily after tonight.The awareness that messing up tonight would make a permanent dent in my image had left me with a lump in my throat for quite some time now but I was glad to be breathing okay again."I'm sorry gorgeous, I hope your date doesn't mind me talking to you?"I looked at the third man that had approached me that night, and I was just blinking my eyes in disbelief. I had picked the dress I was wearing last minute after realizing the big night was almost here and I still wasn't ready yet and not only that but my makeup was not as phenomenal as some ladies here.You could tell that they already looked good and the makeup they had on was just a cherry on top. With my ten-minute makeup routine I felt extremely plain and I was trying not to get too close to them to avoid looking even plainer.Because of this, I was not expecting to get any attention, not like
Kiara pov I took a general scope of wondering why I had to deal with this man at all. It was already bad enough what he had done to me in the past. Somebody with a little bit of decency will give me some space now but he had his hand on my waist?So I made an attempt to pull away from him and he abruptly brought me back to his side making me sick down to my stomach then he whispered in my ear."I know that you love attention but I hope you are not really trying to cause a scene at such an important event?" I was feeling cold on the spot where his fingers made contact with my body but I was trying to brush it off. It got even worse when he started making small circular motions with his fingers.I was almost tempted to move away again and then he held on. "Don't try to act smart with me. I have nothing to lose if I make a scene in this place but I'm guessing it won't look too good on you I love…."My eyes swept across the whole hall that had been beautifully arranged for the night an
Bryant pov"Let me get this right, you want me to leave?" I had not expected that our conversation was going to take this long and all I wanted was to get to my wife.She was now sitting on my mahogany table that she had put herself on the moment we stepped into the office. From the look on her face, I could tell that our conversation was going far from where she had expected it to."You need to understand.." I tried to explain to her calmly."This event is strictly for people that are working in this company or their close invite-" I was barely done speaking before she got into my words."I don't understand, I am your girlfriend, why do I need an invitation to come to this then?"I felt like I had aged 10 years with this conversation even though it had probably just been a couple of minutes. I wanted to return to my wife as soon as possible and to the occasion in general since it could not move onto the next stage without me.And here this woman was fighting all sorts of nonsense a
Kiara povI have never been happier to see my husband until that very moment. His cousin Oscar had already succeeded in tearing off the pics of my dress and was attempting to do much worse when his voice vibrated through the entire office and I could have jumped into his arms at this very moment."It's not what it looks like!" He suddenly healed as loudly as early demented manhood and I just passed him using the shock to throw him off balance running over to my husband. I'm clinging onto his arm. He leaned closer to me and told me not to worry."Oscar you have exactly one minute to explain yourself and not a second more…"Standing with his back against the desk Oscar seems to have quite a casual expression on his face, smoothing out his features that have been a rock for a moment ago due to the intense struggle that we had one from me trying to stop him and him desperately trying to overwhelm me."Look cousin this is what really happened…"I didn't want to look at him but as my face w
Kiara's povThe moment I heard that he was going to be acknowledging his cousin I wanted to shrink into something small and dismissible and then crawl into the nearest hole I could find.What really made me think that he was going to take my side over his own family just because he couldn't remember him yet it didn't change the fact that the same blood run through their veins it's my foolishness that made me want to disappear it made me wish that the earth will just open up conveniently and swallow me.I held onto the side of my dress remembering how the previous one that I had admired so badly was torn right in front of me despite all the money that I put into it my husband had insisted on buying it for me but I told him that I wanted to buy it with my own hard-earned money after all I wasn't working for free and I wanted to spoil myself a little bit.We were able to come to some kind of compromise when he said he was going to give me a big bonus if the party went smoothly and that s
Bryant's pov"I have tolerated this nonsense for far too long… "I sat down cross-legged as I looked at the older woman that had introduced herself to me several weeks ago as my grandmother waking up without my memories had been so unnerving but I could feel the warmth that had come from this woman the moment she landed her eyes on me how it had been so painted with such sincere worry it was almost impossible to believe that we didn't have the same blood flowing through our veins.But as she loved me I guess she also had similar affection for the man that I had just thrown behind bars. How unfortunate.I had moved back into the house that she had been inviting me to for so long mostly to spend more time with my wife and also to be seen as a peace offering but she only saw this as a chance to plug my life complaining viciously that I should release Oscar.Now in the early hours of dawn, she had marched into my bedroom without pushing the door open and demanding to speak with me. I shou
