11“Actually, I do. And Anna is my new assistant!” Xavier smiled. Her eyes widened in shock, mouth agape as the breath caught in her throat, unable to comprehend what she just heard.“Excuse me!?” Those were the only words she muttered.***Anna was in the kitchen preparing dinner of fried rice and grilled chicken laps for herself and Xavier. She decided to call Jessica so that she can have company and someone to talk to.“Hey Jessie!” Anna said happily. She flavored the chicken laps with a spicy sauce and placed it into the oven.“Girl, how have you been? What the fuck is going on with your life? Everything seems like a super story to me.” Jessica said on the phone.“How is it confusing, I told you that I'm now living with him. Like, c'mon girl…I have nowhere else to go to and I don't want to stress you up you know.” Anna responded in a playful tone.“What? First you ran into your Ex-husband's Brother along the road, he saved you and now you're living with him? And he's a billionaire

12“Everyone loves a munchkin with chef Anna!” Jessica added happily. “What?” Anna said and scrolled through her followers. She saw a strange follower without a name but just a letter. “N”“Who the hell is this? Trying to be anonymous. Could it be….” Anna thought she was confused.***MorningIt was morning in the office and all the employees gathered around the table with assorted foods with some other two popular chefs as they tasted the food on the table which was prepared by Anna.“Hmmm…it's really delicious.” They are hummed as they taste different delicacies on the table. “She is really a good cook!” The two famous chefs complimented. Maureen stood by the corner, her eyes narrowing as she watched her colleagues gather around the food and eat from it, praising her homemade dish with enthusiasm. Each compliment felt like a personal attack, igniting a fiery rage within her chest. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she forced a tight smile."Can you believe

13“Yeah, but you seem to be her number one fan. That's why you're letting her live with you right?” Maureen asked, everyone stared at them surprised.“Live with him?” They all asked, looking at each other.“Well, you're right! We are living together. He dropped the bombshell. Mara covered her mouth with her palms and smiled sheepishly. “Oh, they are so cute!” She whined.“I knew it!” Maureen said nonchalantly, she walked to him seductively and arranged his tie in a seductive manner. “You know what, it's really not good luck , Xavier. Shacking up with your little assistant. You should go accordingly to work policies as the leader.” Maureen said with a smirk.“Really? That's right, but now …was my assistant!” Xavier responded, he drew back from her and Anna's eyes widened. “What?” Anna was devastated and lost about his response.“Wow! Firing her already. I see.” Maureen giggled happily and laughed at Anna.“No, I'm not firing her. She's not being fired and I don't really know where yo

14Anna straightened her posture, her chin held high, and without a word, she turned on her heel and walked away. Each step was confident and deliberate, her head held high as she moved through the crowd, leaving Michael to stew in his own humiliation. The room remained silent as she exited, her presence commanding respect, the strength of her actions speaking louder than any words could have.Michael burned with anger, he brought out his phone and dialed a number. “ hello, find out who's funding Anna's businesses. Now!” He said on the phone and hung up the call. He stormed off.****Anna re-entered the winery, her heart still racing from the confrontation with Michael.

15“Xavier, I... I don’t know what to say,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. A single tear slipped down her cheek, and she quickly brushed it away, a radiant smile breaking through the shock. “Thank you. I can’t believe this... it’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of.”She looked around the restaurant with new eyes, realizing that it was no longer just a beautiful space—it was now a reflection of her passion, her hard work, and the faith Xavier had in her.*****On the morning of her first day at work in her very own restaurant, Anna awoke with a mixture of excitement and nerves buzzing through her. The sunlight streamed through her bedroom window, casting a warm glow over the room, but her mind was already focused on the tasks ahead.

16“Come here!” Maureen said and Sophie walked to her, Maureen whispered something into her ears and Sophie smiled mischievously.“It's surely going to work out!” Sophie smiled.“I won’t let this go, Sophie. I won’t let her win.” Maureen smirked. Sophie gave her a supportive smile.Maureen nodded again, feeling slightly more in control as she leaned back in her chair. With Sophie by her side, she knew she wasn’t alone in this fight.***Anna walked Jessica to the door, her friend's face creased with worry after receiving an urgent call from work. "Are you sure everything’s okay?" Anna asked, concern lacing her voice as she placed a reassuring hand on Jessica's arm.Jessica nodded, though her expression remained tense. "I think so, but I have to get back right away. I'm sorry I can't stay longer.""Don't worry about it," Anna said with a comforting smile. "We’ll catch up later. Just take care of whatever you need to."They exchanged a quick hug before Jessica hurried out the door. Anna

17The silence stretched on, unbearably thick, until Sophie, now visibly uncomfortable, hastily pushed the plate away. “I think we’ll be going,” she muttered, her voice trembling slightly. Maureen nodded quickly, the two of them scrambling to gather their things, eager to escape the charged atmosphere.“No one is going anywhere. I said, what's going on here?” He insisted. And Maureen faked a smile immediately.“Oh Xavier! I invited the famous food critic, Sophie. She's so in demand. But I thought she'd be perfect for a munchkin with chef Anna.” Maureen whined flirtatiously. “Okay, Sophie…you don't like the food here?” Xavier asked and Sophie smiled. “It just doesn't say anything, there's no pizzazz!” Sophie mocked cracking up with Maureen.“Well, food critic, I think it says a lot…” Xavier tried to say but Anna cut him off. “Xavier.” Anna called, holding him closer.“I'm sorry. But the high culinary world has its own set of definitions and rules.” Sophie chuckled.“Nah, I've been to l

18"Hey, babydoll," Michael said, a smile curving his lips. It was the first time he’d ever smiled at her like that—genuine, warm, and completely out of character.Anna stared at him, shocked. She didn’t know what to make of his sudden change in demeanor, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what he was up to.Anna felt a knot of unease tightening in her stomach as she stared at Michael, his unexpected smile making her more wary than reassured. She straightened up, crossing her arms defensively."What are you doing here, Michael?" she asked, her voice firm but with an edge of uncertainty.Michael’s smile widened, a mocking glint in his eyes. He sauntered closer to her, his tone taking on a seductive, almost taunting lilt. "Nice place you got here. I was just curious, Anna. How does someone like you afford a place like this? Must’ve cost a pretty penny."“Get out! Your present is not…” Before Anna could respond, Michael reached out and tried to pull her closer, his hand gripping

His fists slammed onto the table, rattling the objects on it. “It’s *not possible!*” His voice exploded, raw and full of venom. His breathing quickened, each intake of air sharp and strained, the very idea of betrayal igniting something fierce in him.Greg stepped back, eyes wide with fear as he instinctively raised his hands in a defensive gesture. “S-sorry, sir,” he stammered, bowing his head to avoid Leo’s searing gaze.

Her hand gripped the door knob tightly, fingers lingering as if savoring Talia’s agony. "Shut up, Talia!" she hissed, her voice dripping with malice. "Stay inside and let the matter settle.

A cold shiver ran down her spine as she turned slowly toward Leo, her heartbeat quickening with a mix of fear and frustration. “Let me finish this conversation with my mother tonight, Leo,” she said, her voice barely concealing the exhaustion that weighed heavily in her chest. Her eyes flitted away from his, avoiding the intensity in his gaze. “We’ll talk about this later.”She ran a hand through her hair, trying to soothe the tension pounding in her head. “And I think we both need time to calm down, to think clearly before we take any action.”Leo’s hand lingered on her arm, his touch soft yet filled with restraint.

THIRTY ONE Malia sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze fixated on the floor, as her mother gently combed through her hair. The rhythmic strokes of the brush were meant to soothe, but the tension in Malia’s clenched fists betrayed her frustration. “You look absolutely stunning, Malia,” her mother, Mrs. Lyra, said, a smile playing on her lips. “I’m telling you, no man will be able to walk past without turning his head.” She admired her daughter’s reflection in the mirror, her voice dripping with pride. Malia’s lips tightened into a thin line, her eyes dark with jealousy as she met her mother’s gaze in the mirror. “That’s only if my idiotic stepsister doesn’t decide to crash the night and ruin everything, like she always does,” she muttered bitterly, venom seeping into her tone. Mrs. Lyra’s fingers paused for a second, her face twisting with a knowing smirk before she resumed brushing. “Oh, that’s right, Talia. The ever-perfect golden child.

THIRTY Talia glared at Marco, the heat of her anger burning in her chest as she avoided eye contact. She clenched her fists, every muscle in her body screaming with frustration. She didn’t want to be near him, let alone listen to whatever nonsense he had to say. “What do you want?” she snapped, her voice sharp and cold. Her expression remained hardened as she shifted her weight uncomfortably, wishing he would just disappear. Marco’s face tightened, his jaw clenching as he took a step forward, his hand reaching for hers. “Let’s go,” he demanded, his voice devoid of emotion as though he had the right to still control her. Talia flung his hand off her wrist as if his touch burned her skin, her heart pounding with irritation. “Just tell me what you want, Marco!” Her voice rose, shaking slightly from the mixture of hurt and anger coursing through her veins. “Stop touching me!” Marco’s eyes flashed with a hint of frustration, the calm facade slipping for a brief second before he compos

TWENTY NINE Talia’s face was a mask of forced calm as she walked over to Leo's table. Inside, however, her stomach churned with discomfort. She sat down across from him, plastering on a fake smile, hoping this encounter would be quick."Mr. Leo, what a coincidence seeing you here!" she said, her voice bright, but her eyes carried a glimmer of frustration she struggled to hide.Leo leaned back in his chair, a sly smile curling on his lips as he met her gaze. “Yes, Miss Talia. Funny thing though, my wife cooked for me today, so I didn’t even need to come here.”Talia froze mid-bite, her throat tightening as she swallowed her food a bit too forcefully. She quickly reached for her water, taking a sip to mask her growing irritation. *Oh please, stop talking nonsense,* she thought, resisting the urge to roll her eyes."Then why aren't you eating what your wife cooked?" she asked, her voice filled with false curiosity a

TWENTY EIGHT Lisa's face flushed with anger, her lips pressed into a thin line as she stormed toward Malia, her eyes blazing with indignation. She moved so quickly and forcefully that the tension in the air crackled around her, completely ignoring Marco who stood nearby, his gaze shifting between the two women with a quiet intensity.“Malia, I thought you were fired?” Lisa spat, her voice sharp and accusatory, her eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. Her fists clenched at her sides as she squared off with Malia, her anger palpable.Malia let out a slow, sarcastic laugh, her lips curling into a smug smirk. She stood tall, shoulders back, exuding a cocky confidence that only made Lisa’s blood boil more. “Fired?” she repeated, her voice dripping with mockery as she raised an eyebrow. “No, darling. I wasn’t fired. I was *demoted,* yes, but I’m still your supervisor.” Her smirk widened as her eyes flicked over to Marco, who gave her a small nod of approval, his expression unreadable but approv

Lisa finished talking, letting out a long sigh as her head drooped back onto the desk. The exhaustion in her eyes was evident, dark circles framing them. Her shoulders sagged, and within seconds, she dozed off.“Lisa, don’t sleep!” Talia’s voice broke through the silence as she barged into the office, her hand dramatically placed on her growling stomach. “Let’s go eat. I’m *famished*,” she added with a playful groan. Her eyes scanned Lisa’s sleeping form before she walked over, lightly tapping her on the shoulder.Lisa jolted awake, her eyes fluttering open, squinting in confusion before she realized where she was. She groaned, stretching her arms above her head as a tired smile curled on her lips. “Ugh, Talia, I was in the middle of such a good dream,” she mumbled, but the moment she caught sight of her phone, her grogginess faded. Excitement sparkled in her eyes as she reached for it. “Girl! I have some juicy gossip for you!” she exclaimed dramatically,
