"So the business deal is coming up when actually?" Anna asked me, once I was finally seated."It's Monday." I answered her, while she finally served me some food."What? you are joking right?" She asked, as she pulsed for a while, and fixed her glanced on me. "No, why would I joke about it?" I grabbed hold of my spoon, while staring at her."I was thinking it would be like a week or so." She said, and finally had her seat after serving herself."No, it's Monday, so I really have so much to prepare for, in just two days." I told her, and she sighed softly."This business deal is really good to be something, and honestly I wished it could be postponed, because it's just so close." "I know that, but we are expecting someone from another company, and I guess he will be staying here for a while. Though Monday is actually the meeting, and at the meeting we would finally decide what we are going to work on with that person coming from the other company, so it's not really the main business
I sighed softly, and raised my head up now. I really miss my father right now. If he was still alive I wouldn't be going through this torment right now, because he would never allow me to go ahead with the divorce.Honestly I hate Charlotte so much right now, and I wish I never knew her, because if I haven't really known her before when dad forced me into getting married to Macey. I would have ended up loving her while she was still with me.But now she is gone and it's now that I realised I loved her.I stood up immediately, and started walking around my bedroom. Now it's really not the best time to be thinking of this, I really need to think of how to find her, and not regret it right now.If I keep regretting my actions, I won't think of going in search of her, so I need to keep my mind occupied with how I was going to find her, and not just sit back doing nothing.If I can find Macey then I would be able to make this right between us, and have her back into my life again. So my f
"Where are you?" She asked instead, ignoring my question, so I had to repeat myself again."Carter I want to see you, I have been to your hotel room, and I was told you have moved out, so where are you right now, I really want to see you." She tried to persuade me into telling her where I was, but I know what she was trying to do, and honestly I really don't want to fall for it."Look mum, if you have anything to say to me, just say it right here on the phone, Because I'm really having some peace now away from you at the moment, so I don't think I'm willing to disclose my place of comfort to you right now." I told her off, even though I knew I was a little hard on her.She was part of my problem, and I guess it is high time I face it. "Son, what are you talking about? so you are trying to tell me you don't want me around you or what?" She asked with a low voice, and I sighed softly, finding it hard to repeat myself.I know she must be hurt right now, so I really don't want to increase
I wasn't really pleased that she was talking about Charlotte, but I knew it before I came here so I just had to continue listening to her."Are you by any means avoiding her?" Mum asked me, and I quickly turned over to Charlotte who was focused on me, and swallowed hard.I hate it when my mum behaves this way. Honestly I wished Charlotte wasn't really here so I could tell my mother how I truly feel about her. But I can't think of doing that right now, since she was just here staring at me."Well mum I'm not avoiding her, and why would you think that way?" I spoke up sharply, as I faced my mother straight, so she would think I was serious about it and believe me."I actually thought you were, since you didn't tell us you were moving from your hotel room, and even after you moved you still didn't call her to send her the address." She pointed out, but I won't act like she got me, I have to defend myself in a way that she would accept it."I was actually so busy during that period, I hav
I ordered a soft drink which was brought to me almost immediately. And had time as I tried to relax back in the hotel room.Once it was 11:45 I got ready, and left the hotel. I saw the same car that came to pick me from the airport already outside waiting for me, so without wasting much time, I got in immediately.The car drove into a huge building, and parked in the garage. There were so many cars there already, so it took the driver a while to see a comfortable place to park the car."Sir we are here already, please come with me let me take you in." The driver said, as he opened the door for me, while holding onto it firmly."Okay, do you know the actual hall where the meeting would be taking place?" I asked him, as I slowly stepped out of the car."Yes sir, and I will take you there right away." He said, and I just sighed softly, as I bent over to the chair and took up my cell phone and laptop."Alright then lead the way." I urged him, while he just nodded and signed for me to move
I quickly turned around and started walking out of the office, but I heard Carter's voice saying something, but I didn't bother to listen, as all I wanted right now was nothing more than to just get away from there.I finally arrived at my office, and went to my chair and had my seat, as I quickly buried my head on my palms. "Why does it have to be him that I'm going to be working with?" I asked no one in particular, as I finally rested my head on the desk.I actually thought I was never going to see him again, and never have anything to do with him, the very day I left his house, and right now I was going to be working with him right here in this office.This is really so hard to believe. Just then my office door cracked open and I managed to look up to see who it was. I saw Anna walk into the office, with my things, as I finally relaxed back on the chair."Macey what happened? why did you storm off that way and even forgot to take your stuff with you?" Anna asked as she walked close
While I ate my food, my mind couldn't stop going back to the fact that Carter was here in this city, and from tomorrow we will have to be working together.It's really a hard thing to believe, and I really don't know what to think at the moment. I sighed softly, as I stopped eating. "Macey what's wrong why aren't you eating?" Anna asked me, as I finally turned over to face her."Anna, everything is wrong, I still can't believe that Carter is here, and we will be working together starting tomorrow. It is so hard for me." I finally spoke my mind to her and how much I don't want to work with him."Macey I want to ask you a question, and try to be honest with me." She said, and I focused my glances on her, and also signed her to go ahead with her questions."Macey, I'm your friend and please I really need you to tell me the truth, do you still love Carter?" She asked me, making me gasped, but I quickly composed myself."Hell no, why would I do something like that, I'm already over him, an
I reached for my cell phone reluctantly, and once I took it, quickly answered it, and placed it on my ear."Hello babe, how was your flight? Hope it was good? How was the business meeting?" She asked so many questions without giving me the opportunity to respond to one first before going to another. I frowned immediately, everything about her annoys me so much, and I really don't know why.Was it just because she lied to me, or because she drugged me that night and made me yell at Macey accusing her of drugging me.I really don't understand why I'm so annoying whenever it comes to Charlotte. "Hello, babe are you still there?" She jerked me back to reality with her questions. Honestly I have totally forgotten that I was still on call with her before."Yes, I'm here with you." I finally responded, and she asked me why I wasn't saying anything before."I was actually thinking of which of your questions to answer, because they were just too much at the time." I lied, while taking up my gl
Macey's father was already bleeding so badly, from the place he was shot, and I wished I could help him up the spot, but there was no way, because we were still in a deep battle, and we just started doing that now."Sir, go in, and try to attend to your wound, I will handle them." I finally spoke up, hoping he would listen and just go in."No, there are too many for you to handle, I can't let anything happen to you, I know my daughter cares so much about you, besides you were still injured yesterday, so let me stay here and help you out." He said stubborn, and I sighed softly."You are losing too much blood, please go and attend to your wound, if Macey loses you, she would never be happy again, besides she has been away from here, she just came to see you this morning, after so long. Please sir, listen to me and do this for your daughter." I pleaded, and he took a deep breath, and mouthed 'okay,' casually before leaving me there.I continued shooting at them, until I killed all the gu
We went straight to the table, and I took an excuse before finally leaving the party. At least I have shown myself there already, so I really don't want to stay until the party comes to an end.I walked into my house with Anna behind me. "Come on Macey you really didn't have to leave the party so early, besides I haven't even enjoyed the party yet." She frowned once we were finally in."I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I really needed to be home early, remember I have a flight to catch in the morning." I told her, as I had my seat on the couch, while I bent to take off my shoes."Even at that, we should have stayed there a little longer at least until 11pm before coming home." She said, and I widened my eyes in disbelief."Come on Anna you can't be serious, are you?" I asked her, as I finally tried to compose myself."I'm very serious Macey, you and I know how much I love parties, and we had the opportunity to attend one today, but you didn't even let us stay." I sighed softly
I wasn't too comfortable with the fact that I took the call from an unknown contact, but I just tried to be confident and placed the phone on my ear."Hello ma'am Macey, it's me Peter, your father's guard." He spoke up immediately and I answered the call, and I just sighed in relief realising it was something I knew."Oh Peter, what can I do for you, hope all is well, and daddy is doing just fine?" I asked immediately, still trying to figure out why he was calling me, because from what I know, he has never called me before, since I started using this contact, so why was he called me then."Your father is not fine, he is so sick, and he said he wants to see you, before he dies." He told me, and immediately I couldn't feel my heart spanking."What!!!" I exclaimed, as hot tears clouded my eyes immediately."Yes Miss Macey, you have to consider coming home soon, so you would get to see him one last time before he finally dies." He advised me, and I totally hate the fact that he said that,
I guess I made a horrible mistake for taking the call without checking the caller ID first. "Mum, I told you already, that I don't want her here, because I am too busy to attend to her, and I told you that I won't go to see her even if she decides to come here, so stop bothering me about her." I told her off, and disengaged the call.I know she would be shocked, but I don't care. From now on, I don't really care about her, all I care about is no one else but Macey.So until I get back into my life, nothing else matters, and no one else matters too, so I don't need to get myself all worked up because of my mum.She can get angry at me, but I really don't care. To me it doesn't really matter now.I thought and sighed softly, as I continued walking out, but my phone kept ringing, knowing fully well that it was my mum, I just ignored the call, and proceeded into my car, and drove off immediately.I sat comfortably as I placed my order, but just then my eyes went to Macey and Anna walking
MACEY'S POVIt was another weekend again, and honestly, I was really grateful. Since the incident of Carter kissing me in the office, I had been away from the office.I stayed home for two days, and I only just went to the office yesterday which happened to be on Friday. I really can't believe Carter has the nerve to kiss me, despite what he had done to me before now.But somehow I'm still very surprised that he actually kissed me, Because for the three whole years I was married to him, he never for once kissed me. So why would he just kiss me now out of the blues.Was he really trying to play with my feelings or what? or does he know that I still have feelings for him, and he has plans to take advantage of that fact? So many questions popped into my head, and honestly I wished I could get an answer to them all.I stood up reluctantly from my bed, as I was still laying down. When I woke up this morning, my head was just filled with different thoughts, and I didn't see
Chapter 36"Anna I'm sorry, but I can't sit up, I promise to make it up to you in the morning." I managed to say, as I could feel my eyes slowly closing."You are just so lazy sometimes." She said, and stormed off and honestly I felt really good that she had gone away.Once it was morning, I got dressed, and so was Anna and after breakfast we left for the office. I thought of going over to Anna's office too like the previous day, but I figured out that would make me look weak before him, so I quickly decided against it, and waved at Anna before making my way to my office."So this is it," I took a deep breath, as I made to grab the doorknob and somehow my heart was pounding, and I felt so nervous too, but why?After staying there for a while, I finally decided within myself to step in, which I did without thinking twice."You are finally here today, I'm so happy." He smiled, and I frowned and just ignored him, and went straight to my seat."Here check this out." He stretched out some
Chapter 35Once I was done, I walked back into my Suite, and got dressed, before placing a call across to the attendance placing order for food, which was brought to me almost immediately.After eating, I climbed into my bed, but couldn't sleep as my mind was still very much clouded with the thought of Macey. I really couldn't believe what was happening. Or why I couldn't stand up to her and just tell her what I feel I really needed to tell her.I could still remember how she would always cry like a baby whenever I or mum did something to her. But now she is really a high standards lady, who doesn't give a fuck about me anymore.I really neglected her feelings back then, and it's really so hard for me to stand up to her and tell her mine, because she might want to pay me back for all I have done to her.I thought and sighed softly while I shut my eyes, and turned over to another direction on my bed. "What would she be doing right now?" I asked no one in particular, as I remained on my
I sighed softly, and left the kitchen as I went to have my food. I know Anna must really be upset right now, and it wasn't really right for me to yell at her that way. I thought as I tried to hurry up with my foodI finally stood up afterwards, and got ready to leave, and once I arrived at Anna's house. I knocked while she just came to open the door almost immediately like she has been expecting me."Anna, I'm really so sorry for the way I spoke to you, I really shouldn't have, and I know you were only trying to look out for me, believe me, I really appreciate it." I told her, while placing my hand in my chest."It's okay, I totally understand you, and I shouldn't have made you leave the house anyway before if I haven't we won't have gotten into that kind of a situation." She said, but I told her, she had done the right thing, because I really needed to go out of the house for a while to cool off."Even if you needed to go out of the house, you really don't need to go to a club, besid
Anna walked back into the sitting room all dressed up. "Where are you heading?" I asked her, not being able to stop myself."Like I said, it's a secret, you will find out when I get back, so just relax back here, I will be back soon trust me." She said, and grabbed my car keys."But Anna,do you think it a good idea to Leave me all alone in the house? Don't you think I would be too bored, considering how I am feeling right now?" I asked her, hoping it would do the magic of making her stay back or probably making her allow me tag along, because I really don't want to stay with her all alone. It's really not advisable to me right now. "Oh that's true, I never really thought of that." She sighed softly while biting on her figure."You know what, go ahead and get dressed, let's go out together, maybe you might feel a little better once we are out." She said, and I smiled immediately, as I tried to make my way out of the sitting room."No stop, I won't go out anymore, let's just stay toget
