AURORA —-As I walked away from Irene, my frustration grew. How could she accuse me of being flirtatious with Miguel? It was just a friendly conversation, nothing more. I know that Irene is always looking out for professionalism in the workplace, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice.Angry tears filled my eyes as I stormed towards the restroom. I needed a moment alone to collect my thoughts and let out my frustration. Once inside, I slammed the door shut and turned on the faucet, trying to drown out the overwhelming emotions that were threatening to consume me.I looked at my reflection in the mirror, my face red with anger and hurt. As the water ran, I grabbed the nearest object, a small hand mirror, and threw it against the wall. It shattered into pieces, mirroring my own broken emotions. I released a scream of frustration, feeling the weight of everything crashing down on me.Suddenly, my phone buzzed, interrupting my angry tirade. I quickly wiped my tears and looked
Irene —Aurora already labels me as a bad sister for taking her fiance from her and now I refuse to give her a job in a company she so badly wants and mostly when I am in charge of everything in the company.I should begin with making Hugh a clerk and Aurora my assistant till Benjamin returns and gives them a perfect job.I called for Miguel after informing Aurora that she should resume tomorrow and also called Hugh with the same news but not informing them of their main position.As I sat in my office, waiting for Miguel to arrive, my mind was filled with worry about Benjamin. He had been gone on this business trip for what felt like an eternity, and I couldn't help but fear for his safety. Miguel was Benjamin's best friend, and he always seemed to have insight into Benjamin's whereabouts, so I hoped he would have good news for me.Miguel finally walked into my office, his confident demeanor evident. "You called for me, Irene?" he asked, taking a seat across from me."Yes, I did," I
Irene —-"Why are you suddenly here, I wasn't expecting you?" " Can't I come here?" I asked Aurora who just chuckled.As I addressed Aurora, I could sense her insecurities and apprehensions. It was clear that she was still unsure of her place in our family, and her guard was up. I didn't want to make her feel more uncomfortable, so I decided to keep my reason for coming to the house a simple one."I came to visit our father," I said, choosing my words carefully. "It has been a while since I last saw him, and I wanted to spend some quality time with him."Aurora's expression softened slightly, and she nodded. "I understand," she replied, her voice laced with a hint of relief. "I'm sure he'll be happy to see you. And Sofia, of course."I smiled at her, grateful for her understanding. "Thank you, Aurora," I said sincerely. "I appreciate your support in this. I want us to be able to have a peaceful coexistence for Sofia's sake."Aurora's eyes met mine, and I could see the genuine desire
Benjamin —-It's been more than two weeks and I still haven't been able to return to Irene, what if she loses hope on my return. Those bastards!!! Barnabas and co, they would all pay for this.I won't forget the attack they planned on me and immediately I got to my warehouse. They blew it up, shooting me three times. They would pay for ever crossing paths with Benjamin Ferrari.I groaned in pain as the memories flooded my mind. It had been a peaceful day at the warehouse, or so I thought. Alex and I were going about our usual business when suddenly, the sound of gunfire erupted, shattering the silence.Bullets flew in every direction, shattering glass and tearing through walls. Alex and I dove for cover, trying to avoid getting hit. The attackers seemed relentless, their aim deadly accurate. I knew we were outnumbered and outgunned.As the chaos ensued, I could hear Alex yelling at me to stay down and take cover. But I couldn't just hide while they tried to take me out. I had to fight
As Alex drove us towards the airport , the tension in the car was palpable. The rain poured heavily, obscuring the road ahead, and thunder rumbled ominously in the distance. The weather seemed to mirror the turmoil in my heart as I desperately tried to reach irene, only to be met with a constant "call failed" message.The worry gnawed at my insides, threatening to consume me. What if something had happened to irene and Sofia? What if Barnabas had already gotten to them? The thought sent a surge of fear through me, making it difficult to breathe."Benjamin, we have to stay calm," Alex said, his voice filled with concern. "We can't jump to conclusions. irene is strong, and she knows how to protect herself and Sofia."I nodded, trying to take comfort in Alex's words. He was right. irene was a force to be reckoned with, and she had shown time and time again that she could handle herself. But that didn't stop the fear from gripping my heart.We continued on our journey, the rain pouring do
I groaned as I opened my eyes, the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains. My body felt heavy with sleep, and I could hear Sofia's voice urging me to wake up. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I sat up and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was later than I usually woke up, but I reminded myself that I didn't have to rush off to work like everyone else.Aurora was already dressed and ready for work, sitting beside me with a teasing smile on her face. "Good morning, sister. Is this how you always sleep in and wake up late, despite having to go to work?" she asked, her tone playfully mocking.I chuckled, ruffling Sofia's hair as she climbed onto the bed with me. "Well, I don't have to adhere to the same schedule as everyone else anymore," I replied, my voice filled with amusement. "Besides, I've handed all your resumes to Miguel. He'll handle it from now on, so you're no longer under my wing."Aurora's eyes widened in surprise, and she let out a breath of relief. "Oh,
Irene——“Welcome Mrs Ferrari.” Few workers said to me as I marched in with a few guards by side and my dad behind me and Hugh opening the elevator for me before I got there.“Thanks Hugh, I hope you are enjoying the company on your first day?” I asked Hugh who nods with a weird smile and for some reasons I can’t point out he avoids my dads gaze…..where could aurora possibly be?“Your office?” Hugh asked about to press the elevator buttons.“Yes .” I replied.I entered my office and quickly settled in, checking my emails and going through my schedule for the day. Just as I was about to start on some paperwork, Miguel, my assistant, knocked on the door."Irene, I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's an urgent meeting with all the staff. It seems important," Miguel informed me.I sighed, realizing that my plans for the day were about to change. "Alright, let's go," I said, grabbing my notebook and pen.As we made our way to the meeting room, I noticed my dad following closely behind. I turn
Irene—-Benjamin's expression softened, and he gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. "I'm sorry, Irene. I never wanted to be away from you for so long," he replied, his voice filled with regret. "But I had to ensure your safety and deal with the threat that was looming over us. I couldn't risk putting you in danger."I nodded, understanding the weight of his words. As much as I had missed him, I knew that Benjamin had made the right decision. Our love was strong, but it couldn't protect us from the dangers that lurked in the shadows.Benjamin took a step closer, his hand caressing my cheek. "I promise, Irene, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe. We'll face this threat together, and we'll come out stronger on the other side," he said, his voice filled with determination.“Where is Sofia?” Benjamin asked, teasing my lips with his hands.“ in school.” I replied, trying my best not to blush.“She needs to stop going to school and attend private school at home to
