"Who approved the starting of this meeting?", Kaiden ask leaving all of us in shock including the COS."I did Sir. You said I should because you were in Italy for a meeting", the COS said raising his hand, still confused."Who said I will not attend this meeting?", Kaiden asked giving each and every one of us his stern look. His eyes went across the room, and we could see him grinding his teeth from inside. All our eyes hit the floor as no one wanted to say anything or even look straight at him."I said it, because you asked me to Sir", the COS said and took a bow trying not to offend."I can't recall. Or are you insisting I am lying?" "No Sir""Well, You are fired", Kaiden said to the COS, looking straight to his face and still grinding his teeth."But Sir...I am very sorry I said it. Please I have a family to feed", the COS pleaded. We could all see the sincerity in his eyes.We all knew that the COS was right but we wouldn't dare to question Kaiden Kross."Get out!! Now!!!", Kaid
"I can't believe that all these happened in just one meeting", Stacey said."I just thank goodness that you are fine", she continued."Thank you girl", I sighed."Girl don't you think that he cares about you more than you think? I mean dismissing the meeting for your sake wasn't just Kaiden's doing", Stacey said."That is how he is with all his other mistresses out there", I replied rolling my eyes."Which do you know of?" She asked leaving me in silence. There was ultimate silence in the room as Stacey looked straight up at me but I avoided her eyes."Girl you're taking this too far. We should be talking about these stuff", I said breaking the silence and waving off the conversation because it was becoming a little too awkward."Ok, if you say so", Stacey replied."So what is this plan of snicking into Kingston Mansion to get your stuff. Can't you just go and ask him for them instead. I mean, he is your husband, is he not?", Stacey said still trying to fold all the clothes we bought
The whole Media press in the city flooded the entrance of Kingston Inc., leaving me to wonder what the big occasion was. We have never experienced such crowd."Excuse me! Excuse!", I said as I squeezed little self through the crowd of hungry Media press. I still wondered what the big new was that brought all the popular news channels in the city to the Kingston firm.Even Kaiden himself didn't get this much attention upon his arrival, why now? Or has Kaiden finally put on a scene to get the press flooding him like flies?I finally got into the the firm pushing through the glass entrance with the Securities doing their possible best to keep the door shut. I walked into a hall full of employees mounted at different ends, looking outside and whispered words to one another like we are all having a day off."Trisha!", Stacey said calling out to me, squeezing herself through a group of arguing employees."Did you hear?", she asked leaping in excitement."Hear what?", I asked still curious of
A lot ran through my mind on the reason Kaiden wanted to see me in his office all of a sudden. I mean his mother, the Chairwoman is around at the moment, so why?What does he want from me this time? Does he want to introduce me to his mother? I smiled when that thought came to my mind, then I remembered that I didn't like him.I got to the front of his office but Lucian, his secretary was not on seat as always. I wonder what was happening because Lucian never left Kaiden's side. Whatever happens is non of my business anyways.I took a deep breath before opening the door to his office but then I paused. "Why did you come here?", I heard Kaiden yell, slamming his fist on the desk. That alone startled me. I really need to know what is going on."Kaiden dear, don't you want to see your mother?", I heard a lady's voice. I know that it was Mrs Kingston because I recognize her voice from the two general meetings that were held last two weeks ago. "Don't you think this firm should grow more t
"Go, take your shot", I said pushing Stacey to where Lucian was standing. She didn't even hesitate because she is not shy with approaching men like I am. Trisha was off to chase her dream man, and I was left alone on the refreshments table looking for another delicacy to stuff my face with because the food was nice."There is Mrs Trisha Kross", Kaiden said walking up to me at the refreshments table still looking for what to eat next. I rolled my eyes and continued with what I was doing."Are you not Mrs Trisha? You look spicy tonight", he said putting his hands on my waist gently from behind but I resisted his touch."Happy founder's day to you Mr Kross", I said raising my glass of wine to clink with his and took a sip. I know very well that I just got on his second nerve.Kaiden took my drink from me and pulled me from the table to an isolated corner. "I need you to avail yourself whenever I want or else", he said putting his hands on my neck and pinned me to the wall. I struggled so
"What am I doing here?", I asked struggling with the drip that was attached to my arm. The nurse there came to help me sit up."Ma please you need to get some rest, you don't need to stress yourself at this point", the nurse said tucking my pillow well for me to be comfortable."Please don't move, the doctor will be here soon", she said as I still struggled to get up from the hospital bed. I got hit by a headache and I tried to massage my head.Before I could move further, the doctor came into the room. I am very thankful that it was a female doctor that came in, I am not too good with male doctors."Thank goodness you woke up at the right time dear. How do you feel?", She said feeling my forehead with the back of her hands."I just have a slight headache", I replied."But....what happened to me doctor? I was at the founder's night and I woke up here, what is wrong with me? I have never felt like this before", I said confused, still trying to get off the bed."You had a little episode
"You are packing your things back to the Kingston Mansion today. No questions, no complaints, no refusal", Kaiden said looking deep into my eyes.There is no doubt now that Kaiden knows that I am pregnant. Why is he trying to torture me by pretending that he doesn't know anything? What is he trying to gain?"I am not repeating myself", Kaiden said pulling my chin up slightly, bringing me back from my thoughts."Why are you doing this to me? Are you not engaged to Chantel? What will your mum say when she sees me there? Do you really think I will be comfortable staying there?", I asked all at once."Which one do you want me to answer first, Mrs Kross?", he said pushing me to the table and gripping me tight. "Like I said, what my mum does is not my business. You are my wife, I mean, are you not? At least before the law you are, even if you don't wear your ring or you don't want to admit it at all", he continued."I will be at your place by 7 PM to get you, so get yourself ready", I watch
"Some people just don't know their place in this Mansion", Chantel said staring at me with disgust as she took her seat across the dining table. I rolled my eyes. I also pitied her because she thinks I am her enemy. Ever since I came to the Mansion, she has always been on my neck.Mrs Kingston called for a 'compulsory family breakfast', as she would call it. She said that every resident in the Kingston Mansion should come together and have breakfast like a family, except the butlers. The only residents in the Kingston Mansion include: Mrs Kingston, Chantel, Kaiden and I. One can never know what Mrs Kingston has up her sleeves every time she speaks these days."Mr Gil, do you perhaps have any space on your little corner of the Mansion? You might need an inmate", Chantel chuckled as she spoke to the senior butler still glaring at me.Shortly after, Mrs Kingston was seen in the dining room. She had her stick as always. As she walked slowly to the dining table, the air became suffocating
Today was a good day for me and it was like everything was falling into place for my favour. This was the perfect time to snick out.Mrs Kingston took Chantel with her for an important meeting with our new client at Double K group, while Trisha decided to lock hersef inside her room all day. I knocked on her room couple of times and she refused to open for me. But then I knew that if I had snuck out to the elevator, she will definitely come to check who that was and I will be caught. So I had to involve Gil in my plan to snick out to the company. It turned out that Gil was always praying for me to return to the company. He was always on my side the whole time. I told Gil to come up to my side of the mansion. While he opened the elevator and came out, I would enter inside immediately. Before Trisha would come out to check who it was, I was already gone and Gil would be standing there with a lie in his tongue to tell Trisha.I made sure to dressed my best for my return to the company.
Kaiden's POV I looked at Lucian closely as he explained everything in details. Is it me or is it that Lucian is beginning to become hard working all of a sudden. I have known him for years, and even if he thinks he can fool everybody else, he cannot fool me. This is the fourth time that Lucian is making bringing reports to the Kingston Mansion, and I don't buy all the being nice attitude. Does anyone not see this or is it only me?"The advertising department has actually come up with another strategy to keep the clients coming. This draft has all the informations about the upcoming strategy", Lucian explain, point at a paper that reads 'product advertisement'. He was still looking very serious and focused. Maybe he has changed for the better after all."Are you seeing this?", Lucian paused and caught me staring at him mysteriously. "What? You have to stop this shit. People might start thinking that you are in love with me", Lucian said snapping his fingers and I snapped out of my th
"I don't think I can go on with this", I said pacing back and forth at the middle of Mrs Kingston's office. Stacey and Mrs Kingston both looked at me in disappointment as I ranted."What do you mean you cannot go on with it?", Mrs Kingston asked angrily. "I mean, it was yours and Stacey's idea, was it not?", she continued with her eyes fixed on me as I paced, and her eye followed my every movement."Yes it was our idea and Lucian agreed to go on with this", Stacey grind in-between her teeth. She was pissed as well."I just cannot take the insults anymore. He is way to much of himself and perfection", I continued."Oh please stop this whining", Mrs Kingston ordered and I came to a halt. "Just one attempt and you are giving up already? You are forgetting that it will take a multiple effort to convince Kaiden without leaving a trail of suspicion", she continued."To take over the company, you will have to do all it takes for it. Even if it means enduring Kaiden's bull shits for a while",
Lucian's POVYou know Stacey cannot just seem to amaze me. One moment she is telling me not to take the offer of being the CEO, and the next moment she is helping me plot a scheme to keep Kaiden inside the mansion just so that I can remain the CEO. I don't really care though, I am so grateful that I am in a relationship with a two-faced bitch like I am. I won't have to hide when I am with her, she is my partner in crime.I think I will keep her for a very long time. I mean, she is smart enough to come up with a plan like she has been on it for a long time. But she is right though, If Kaiden would have to warm up to me more, I would need to give him a reason to.Kaiden trusts me because he thinks he knows me well. Well, at least a bigger side to me. But what he doesn't know is that he has been getting under my skin for as long as I can remember. Now is my time to peel him off. "Hey Lucian, my man", Kaiden said giving me a strong hand shake, accompanied with a smile.Kaiden has changed
Stacey's POV "I saw his live video last night babe. I just wish everything goes as planned", I said sympathetically to Trisha who was crying at the other end of the phone. "How are you holding up?", I asked her. "You know people's comments are brutal. Only a few sympathized with him", I continued before Trisha could answer my question."Not too good", she said blowing her nose. "I felt bad that I didn't tell him anything about Lucian. Here he is thinking that he will go back to the company anytime soon, meanwhile Lucian is trying to take his position", she said still sobbing badly. She still refused to give her thoughts about the comments on the live video."Reasons why I had to give him a break. Like I said, I will take care of him, you take care of Kaiden okay", I said. I didn't even want to talk about the comments either."You will have to be very fast, I will not be able to keep Kaiden for long. He will have to come back to the company sooner or later", she sounded more terrifie
Kaiden's POV Chantel doesn't still know who I am. She doesn't know that I get what I want whenever I want it and where ever I want it. She is so unfortunate. That night was just a payback for taking advantage of me and getting pregnant, which I knew that she deserved. Now she will think twice before taking advantage of me. I don't let people get away after doing something wrong to me, she should bare that in mind.I am fine now and doing great, all thanks to Trisha. I have come to like her more than usual but I don't want to let it get to me. Mrs Kingston just keeps ruining our moments together, which she will pay for sooner or later.Mrs Kingston suggested that I do a live video to convince people that I am fine, and that the allegations placed on me were false. Trisha suggested to stay by my side through the whole process, at least she won't join the live video but she will be next to me. She was the only one who convinced me to go on with it."Good evening everyone. It's Kaiden K
Chantel's POV This is the fifth time that the nurse is here to treat the injury that Kaiden gave me and Mrs Kingston is still telling me that everything is going to be fine. Everyday I feel like Mrs Kingston doesn't care about what Kaiden does to me anymore, she allows things to happen because I want them to. At the end, I am the one left to face all the consequences on my own. I just wish I could escape, but I can't.I am constantly haunted by the torture I went through that night in Kaiden's hands, and I just wish I could sleep. Mrs Kingston literally left me in Kaiden's room that night thinking that everything was okay. And I hate the fact that Trisha of all people was the one who came to rescue me that night. It appeared that she came to check up on Kaiden in his room, and she saw me. Kaiden succumbed to her voice and pardoned my life, if not I would not be breathing today. Trisha saved my life once again. Now she will go bragging it to her friend and she will use it against me
Stacey's POVI could not believe that with all my possible efforts to make Lucian change his mind on taking up the CEOposition, he still went ahead to do what ever he thought was right. I mean, what was he thinking? Did he even think of how I would feel or how Kaiden will feel after hearing about what is best friend is up to?The worst thing is that Kaiden doesn't know, and if this gets out on the internet, Kaiden will surely find out. I wonder how Kaiden will feel once he reads it in the papers or on the internet. Mrs Kingston on the other hand knows how long it took for Kaiden to come back shape, she will trigger him back to his ill state.Lucian will have to answer me on this one."Lucian!", I yelled, barging into the CEO's office. Lucian did not even waste anymore time in taking Kaiden's position and even his office. He just has to do it immediately.Lucian looked up at me boiling in anger. "You know this is not your office Miss Stacey, this is the office of the CEO, so treat it l
Lucian's POV Everything was finally falling into place in the company and I felt it was time to take up the responsibility. Today was going to be a good day and nothing was going to take that joy away from me.I walked with pride to Mrs Kingston's office with that mindset of going to accept Mrs Kingston's offer, not minding what Stacey was going to say.Knock knock "Come in", Mrs Kingston commanded. As I walked in, she was arranging her desk to leave and I took a bow."Whatever you want to say, say it fast, I have a meeting to attend", she said piling one file above the other."I would like to stand in for you in the meeting, as the CEO Ma", I replied boldly. She immediately dropped the files on the table and pulled her chair closer in amazement."What did you just say?", she asked as though she didn't hear me the first time."I considered your offer and I am going to stand in as the CEO for the meantime, till Kaiden recovers fully", I said, adjusting my jacket."You are supposed to
