LISTOWEL’S POVThe continuous ringing of my phone’s tone caused my blood boil. Is she f**king dumb? Can't she read the room? Leaving her messages read without a reply should definitely tell her something! Why does she still keep on calling? My eyes darted around, searching around to find the phone I had tossed aside earlier. I closely followed the sound of the ringing tone after failing to spot the exact place it fell. The sound led me under the sofa, moving my palms on the cool tiled floor, I finally found and grabbed it up. The call had hung up when I got off hold of the phone. I was about to call her back when her call came through again. Rolling my eyes, I answered. “Hey Lis!” Wendy’s forced-thin voice called from the other side of the phone. “What’s up?” I asked, my voice cold and distant. “Do you have to ask in such a cold tone? Did I do something wrong? Is it bec—” “Tell me why you called?” I demanded, cutting her off before she could start nagging. “Cool, are you up fo

LISTOWEL’S POV I sat in my office gleaming with smiles. Ever since I resumed my position as the CEO of Gordon Inc. years ago, I must say; It is only today that I feel like my authority has been well utilized. The idea that had flashed in my mind last night was about to be visualized in a few minutes from now. I must have been thinking so low of myself, to have forgotten that I have some aspects of this company under control and at my fingertips. I leaned in my chair, swinging left and right; back and fro, impatiently waiting for the clock to hit 9 AM. Melissa was going to present her proposal in a few minutes and I’m going to prove to her that I’m in charge here. And whether she works in a different department other than mine, she's got to realize that she works directly or indirectly under me and for me. An unconscious grin formed at the sides of my lips as the clock ticked nine. I stood up from my seat and straightened the edges of my sleeve before wiping the very dirt on my sh

LISTOWEL’S POVWithout a flinch, she took the remote, turned to face the screen, and turned on the projector. Momentarily, the screen lit up, displaying the slides that bore her proposal. “Good morning and welcome everyone. I'm Melissa Muggins, the just appointed attorney for Gordon Inc”, she introduced herself to the rest of the board members who were keenly listening to her. Gesturing towards Yaw, who was standing a few metres away from her, she said, “I’m here today with my associate, Consul Yaw Agyei and together we are presenting, The Legal Landscape of Copyright Enhancement and Protection”. She gracefully went through each slide, her sweet voice melodiously filling my ears as she outlined her proposal. She seriously avoided contact with my eyes and always looked past me but that didn't stop me from looking at her. I watched her closely, nodding from time to time as if I wasn't here just so I would feel her presence. From the little I heard, I admitted in my head that she

LISTOWEL’S POVHer blood shot eyes snapped at me as soon as the last word flew out my my mouth. Her eyes were red and it mirrored something in them. Something vulnerable, more like she's been hurt. My chest churned in regret at as I stared at those pitiful eyes. I instantly regretted my actions. “Gosh, I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have embarrassed her like that I front of all those people,” I thought to myself.Oh how stupid I am, I'm supposed to warm her heart but here I am, causing her pain instead. My hands instinctively reached out to touch hers, to console her, to somehow explain that I really didn't mean to hurt her. But her expression instantly turned into disgust as soon my hands felt hers. Her soft pitiful face instantly vanished, replaced with a feist expression. Her brows furrowed in annoyance and before I could utter a word she yanked my hands away from hers. “Is it really fun? Do you despise me that much to the extent of ruining my first presentation here

My surroundings seemed to close in on me as I sat in my office, my gaze intently focused on the laptop before me. I was going over the so-called ‘not impressive enough’ proposal. I wasted almost seven hours of a sleepless night only to be told this? My heart felt heavy as I tried to calm the anger brewing inside me. As my fingers aggressively pressed on the letters on the keyboard before me, the cunning voice of Listowell still echoed in my ears. I didn't miss the deliberate criticisms and coldness he passed on while I was presenting. But I had ignored it all. I thought he was only trying to be silly, only for him to dismiss the whole proposal! And for what? A flimsy excuse that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe. “Miss Muggins?” Yaw spoke for the first time after a long while since we came back from the conference room. Yes?” I replied, not raising my gaze to look at him as it was still focused on the screen.“I don't think it's a good idea to go through the project right

MELISSA’S POVThe low screeching sound the door had made caught me off guard. “Who would enter an office without knocking” I thought to myself as my eyes darted to the doorway, checking who the culprit was. For a couple of minutes, I stood still, expecting the person to enter but there was no one. “It probably opened by itself” inwardly saying to myself, I turned and headed to the door side to close the door. Just when I held the doorknob, twisting it to the left side, someone’s head suddenly peeped in between the door and the wall. “Oh my God!” I screamed as soon as my eyes met that of the head’s. My face turned pale while my heart raced in shock, causing me to stagger backward. It was Yaw!“Miss Muggins! Forgive me, I didn't know you were back there,” rushing inside to hold me firm, Yaw apologized before I could fall. Standing upright, I scolded, “You just scared the hell out of me, Mr. Agyei”So sorry miss, I didn’t want to disturb your slumber so I thought to open it slowly

MELISSA’S POVI couldn't really tell why my heart skipped a beat when I heard his voice. Hoping against hope that the voice I had just heard wasn't that of the person I suspected it was, I turned my head towards the direction from which the voice emerged.And it was indeed him. The CEO, or should I say. My ex-husband? Anyways, it was Listowel Gordon. I felt my muscles tightening as my spine stiffened when our gazes met. "Planning anything cool?" he asked again, an indifferent expression on his face. We all stood still, dumbfounded by his sudden appearance and more so, his question.How is it his business if we are planning anything?As he approached us, I cut him a deadly glare, expecting that he would catch on and leave. But he pretended as if he didn't see. Averting his gaze from me to look at Maxwell, he asked, am I invited?“Mind if I join you guys?”I felt the muscles in my shoulders tightening, and my spine stiffening as I processed his words. He walked past me with an unrea

MELISSA’S POVI knew he was only trying to be silly so I acted like I didn't hear and walked away. ******The ride to the bar was quiet and the tension in it was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. My colleagues, Gloria, Yaw, Max and Collins were acting as if they weren’t the one that had excitedly hopped inside the car earlier. I guess they were intimidated by Listowel’s presence. Meanwhile, I had also experienced my share of the stress. Listowel had sat close to me and our bodies had been brushing against each other whenever the car swerved. In as much as I tried to suppress my discomfort, Listowel was comfortably seated, pressing on his phone, refusing to shift to the side a bit. Soon, the car pulled up in front of the infamous Murphy’s restaurant. From outside, I could hear the classic music and buzz of conversations from the insides as we stepped down from the car. Yaw, noticing my nervousness, was the first to talk. He gestured for me to come closer and said, “Come

Wendy’s povI roamed gracefully around the department store as I checked out outfits for the little life growing inside me. Rubbing my hands on my belly, I turned to the attendant standing beside me and asked, “What do you think my baby is going to be?” She giggled to herself before she whispered, “A girl?”.The smile on my face instantly vanished, replaced with a grimace. “Are you dumb? What do you mean by a girl? Do you seriously think a girl can become CEO to a company as big as Gordon Inc!” I snapped, glaring at her from the head to toe. Terrified by my high tone, she panicked and bowed her head severally as she apologized, “I’m sorry ma’am. I didn’t think that you will be offended by that. Please forgive me. I’m sorry”Before I could even react, she went down on her knees, holding my legs as she cried, “please ma’am don’t let them fire me. I need to pay my mother’s medical expenses.” She let go of my legs and started rubbing her palms against each other so hard that if a spar

LISTOWEL’S POV A deep sense of relief washed over me as I tapped on the send button. A slow grin played at the sides of my lips as my phone started buzzing with notifications again. Yes, they must have been shocked. I doubt any of them expected the ‘high and mighty’ Wendy Macinni will open her legs for a bartender. I mean, it is not bad that she’s with him. But what makes it unbelievable is the fact Wendy thinks highly of herself and looks down on others. It is just unimaginable for her to be with the same people she disrespected. And oh, I don’t even care whether she stays with him or not. What pisses me off is the fact she’s trying all means to trap me. And that’s one thing I will never allow. I’ll rather die than have her carry my child. Even though I still don’t have the proof that she drugged me the other day, I’m certain that the baby she’s conceived is not mine. Now that I’ve got to know she’s not worth my mercies; I’m going to deal with her ruthlessly! She’s alrea

With my hands crossed over my chest I stood still beside the ceiling to floor glass windows in my office, staring at the landscape of Aphrodite. The fact that I was staring at the landscape beneath me didn’t mean I was admiring it but rather was staring plainly at without having any thoughts of it. My mind was currently a mess and it was swirling with thoughts of the unthinkable. My phone which was lying on the desk behind me was ringing incessantly with calls and notifications from the media houses, relative, business partners and bloggers. Apparently there were news circulating throughout the whole city that the next heir to Gordon Inc has been conceived so they were all reaching out to find out if it’s true. A slow smirk, a chuckle, and then a laugh laughter erupted from my lips echoed throughout my office. Even though the laugh was humorless I couldn’t stop myself from producing it. I laughed and laughed until my chest hurt. I mean, wasn’t it ridiculous enough for them

The alluring smell of hibiscus drifted through the garden as I sat in my garden, enjoying the breeze. The fine porcelain mug which contained the bitter leaf tea I was sipping swirled gently in my hands as I sipped on it.Placing down the mug, “That rude little brat!” I cursed under my breath. I couldn't believe I almost fell for her lies and actually shipped her to be the next lady of the Gordon Group.Even the thought of her makes my skin crawl. How could she have stooped so low? She really was going to hit me with the wine bottle? Wow! She wants to my grandson with such rotten manners? Over my dead body!Taking in a deep breath, I stood up and made my way into the mansion. I've baked myself enough; the rest of the sunrays has no vitamins.I reached for my phone from the dining table as I realised its been chiming with notifications for a while now. Assuming it was blog notifications, I ignored it. It is like generation only mind other peoples business for a living. There's always

WENDY’S POVI looked up at Listowel feigning tears, “You can hate me all you want. You can view me as the worst person to ever lived. But don’t forget this Lis. You’re going to be a father, Listowel. You can’t just turn your back on that.” I stated.He glared at me with for a while without uttering a word. His lips were tight, the veins on his forehead popping as if he was going to explode any time soon.He had returned back from downstairs and I could only guess things didn’t go well for him. Melissa must have pushed him away.Good. Now he knows how it feels to be rejected. Feigning pity, I moved my fingers seductively on his chest as I sobbed, “ Come to me. Let’s watch our baby grow together.”The grimace on his face deepened as soon as the words flew out of my lips. “Get your hands off me,” he growled. His low voice sounding more deadly than I anticipated. He looked like he was using all the energy in him to suppress the fury bubbling in his chest but I couldn’t care less. He

LISTOWEL’S POV My heart jumped to my throat as soon as I saw Melissa by the doorway. She was standing still, her face drained of blood as she locked eyes with me. My chest tightened and I could feel my heart aching badly as I saw her beautiful eyes turn red and then teary. No. She wasn’t supposed to hear this. Not now. Not when I was still unsure if what Wendy was saying was true. Pushing aside my desk, I sprang up to my feet and ran towards her. “Lisa….” I whispered, stretching my hands to hold her still. But before I could touch her, she took some steps back, her bloodshot eyes producing more tears than I could imagine. Her lips parted as she tried to talk but only a sorrowful sound came out. Covering her mouth, she shook her head slowly before turning to her heels. I ran after her but the elevator door closed before I could get in. When I managed to meet her downstairs, she had wiped the tears off her face, her expression hard and serious. Slowly, I approached her, prevent

WENDY’S POV Early the next morning, I returned to the mansion, the expression on my face that of anger. I was ready to scold my grandpa for his hypocrisy. But upon my return, he had already left for a meeting. He had given the keys to the maids and instructed them not to give it to me. One of the maids dared to challenge me when I demanded the key, infuriating me the more. And yeah, she was fired from working in our mansion that very day. I hate nobodies who tend to act pompous when they get little authority. With the pretense of delivering coffee, I made my way to the guest room. Luckily, Listowel was asleep so I thought to myself that I still had the chance to execute my plan. Quietly, I sneaked into the bed after undressing. My fingers trailed on the green veins lining up on his big muscles and arms. Oh, how I miss the old days! Doing this would have made him curl me up on his chest. A sudden turn he made jolted me out of my thoughts. Slowly, he sat up on t

WENDY’S POV My heart pounded rapidly in my chest as I made my way out of the restaurant. Luckily, the bodyguards my grandpa had recruited to watch after me were at the scene. They rushed in and seized the phones of the people around, threatening to sue any of them who would post it online. Sitting in my car, I let out a steady breath, trying to calm myself from the embarrassment from earlier. Gazing keenly into thin air, “Madam Gordon, harden your resolve because the next blow that's coming your way could end you paralyzed.” I gritted. Reaching for my phone, I scrolled through my contacts, looking for our family doctor’s contact. I hesitated for a split second before tapping on the green dial sign. This was the only way for me to get the upper hand. The call went through after the ring and Dr. Mensah’s voice came through the line. “Hi…” I breathe out. “It is Wendy…” “Wendy dear, how are you?” he politely asked, even though I hate it when he treats me like we ar

MELISSA’S POV The clock struck five and it was already time to close. I shut off my monitor and started arranging my desk, bringing the day's work to an end. I grabbed my bag and put in it some accessories before I stood up and adjusted my dress. From the glass windows, where I was checking myself, I could see a blue folder with a stack of documents inside. I let out a gentle sigh as I remembered what I told the owner the other day. I remember telling Listowel that I was gonna give it to a dispatch rider to deliver it to him but there here it was, still lying on my desk as if all the riders in town were on holiday. Well, I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to go give it to him in person. Yes. Yes. I know. I know that seeing him often was gonna disrupt my healing journey but….. I forced a chunk down my guts as I inched closer to pick it up. These documents seem to be important and it'll be thoughtless of me to leave them in the hands of a random rider. Wha
