CHERRY'S POVI froze the moment I saw him, how could it be him?He also froze when he saw me. But the next moment he behaved like he didn't know me at all.“You can leave us now”. He said with an aloof tone to Sir Andrew, who whispered in my ears with a smirk “You are doomed for sure”.Mr Grumpy is the CEO of this company. Since it's him, I will surely stop working after today.“Your uniform is cute”. He said with a smirk on his face. “Mr grumpy. …sorry Mr CEO I…. didn't know this was your company, don't worry i will resign immediately.”.“You think you can resign that easily after breaking a flower vase worth millions of dollars?”. He asked with an intimidating look. “I didn't break the flower vase, this is a set up. Someone broke it and he or she is trying to pin the blame on me”. I defended myself with tears threatening to fall down my eyes.“Can you prove that you didn't break the flower vase?”.“You don't believe me?”.“Why should I believe you? If you don't provide evidence th
DANIEL'S POVI was shocked to see Cherry in my office. I didn't know that this branch that I've not visited for years will be where I will meet her.Yes, my mother is the sole owner of this branch. This branch deals with jewelry design and it is the second best in the country.I knew she didn't break the vase but I don't want her to leave my sight again. That was why I challenged her to find out the culprit in one week's time.She is also my mother's target, it will be dangerous for her if my mother finds out that she is working as a cleaner in her company, she will definitely make life miserable for her.Not that I can't protect her though, but she still has some grudge against me, that's why she wanted to resign.I took her back to my mansion to ask her who gave her the inhaler that she brought to me at the bar that night.She looks so beautiful when she's asleep. I sat beside her on the bed and removed the strands of hair that were covering her face.Suddenly she held my wrist and
VERONICA'S POVI can't possibly move in with Simeon, at least not right now that I haven't even achieved anything. I don't know what he is planning but I won't give him that chance to know about my own secrets. Today, I plan to go with my team for the outreach. The site they sent to me is really a rural area, but I don't mind as long as I achieve what I want.The election is fast approaching and I haven't even made any preparation yet for my plan B.I observed my new looks in the mirror, I totally changed, with a different face and different body shape.I got ready with my team and we traveled to the area. The journey was two hours and some minutes.My assistant did a great job, she has already arranged for the doctors and nurses, in fact treatment was already going on by the time I arrived.

SIMEON'S POVEverything is going according to my plans, Veronica doesn't know what awaits her yet.My plans are falling into place.

I said with a mischievous grin.“We went back to being enemies so soon”.It seems the person that I hired promised her something. That's interesting to hear.“I am quite busy right now, what do you want?”. I asked, sounding urgent.“It's nothing, I didn't see you when I woke up this morning, so I wanted to know where you are”. She replied like a good wife.“When did you start caring about my whereabouts? I hope what happened last night didn't make you misunderstand? We are still enemies”.“It's fine, you don't need to tell me, I know that we are not compatibl
CHERRY'S POVI am now like Daniel's nanny, I took sick leave from work and had to take care of him at his house.Though I lied to my mom that there is an event happening in the office and I won't be back for some days.I have been in Daniel's house for five days now, he has fully recovered and the wound is not that fresh anymore.Today, I plan to resume at the office. Daniel insisted that he would also resume today with me.I packed enough food to eat. When we got close to the office, I insisted that Daniel drop me because I don't want anyone to know that I've been with him for the past five days.“Cherry welcome back to work. Are you okay now?”. Zara ran to me as she spotted me at the gate, she welcomed me with flowers, I was really moved by her actions.“I am perfectly fine now, how are you doing?”. I asked her after hugging her.“Very well thank you, let's go in my lady”. She said in a playful manner.We settled in the changing room with other girls.“Look, she's back to break more
EMMA'S POVI walked into Daniel’s office building with excitement bubbling inside me. Today was his birthday, and I had spent weeks planning the perfect surprise for him. I could already picture his face lighting up when he saw the box in my hand—his favorite cake—and the gift I had carefully picked out for him. I couldn’t wait to see his smile, to celebrate the man I loved so much.I stepped off the elevator and walked down the hallway to his office. The closer I got, the more I imagined how the day would unfold. It would be just the two of us, laughing together, sharing a quiet moment. It was supposed to be perfect.But then, I rounded the corner.I froze.Through the glass of the office door, I saw them. Daniel was sitting there, relaxed, smiling at someone. And that someone wasn’t me. It was Veronica—his colleague, someone I’d heard of but never really paid attention to. They were sitting close to each other, their laughter blending together, and Veronica’s hand was resting casuall
EMMA'S POV I tried to make it through the rest of the day at work, but my mind wouldn’t stop replaying what I saw in Daniel’s office. Veronica’s laughter, her hand on his arm, the way he didn’t pull away—it all haunted me. I stared at my computer screen for hours, unable to focus on anything. When the clock struck five, I grabbed my bag and headed home, hoping the familiar comfort of our house would ease my turmoil. As I stepped inside, I noticed the lights were on. Daniel was already home. My heart clenched. Maybe this was my chance to talk to him, to confront him about what I saw and get the truth. I set my bag down and took a deep breath, preparing myself for the conversation. But then, something caught my eye. Clothes were scattered across the floor of the living room—Daniel’s shirt, a pair of pants—and then, there it was. A bra. Not mine. My breath hitched as dread pooled in my stomach. I stood frozen for a moment, trying to convince myself that I was jumping to conclusions,
EMMA'S POV The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed. Simeon was gone, and the sheets beside me were cold. My heart sank for a moment, but I quickly brushed off the feeling. What was I expecting—a good morning kiss and breakfast in bed? I sighed, ran my fingers through my tangled hair, and sat up. The events of the previous day played on a loop in my mind. I couldn’t take it anymore. Today, I had to confront Daniel. It was time to end this nightmare. I left the bar without bothering to grab breakfast, straightened my hair in the rearview mirror, and drove straight home, rehearsing what I’d say. As soon as I stepped into the house, the smell of freshly cooked food greeted me. My stomach churned. The aroma wasn’t welcoming; it felt like mockery. How dare they carry on like nothing happened? From where I stood, I could see Daniel slouched on the couch, staring blankly at the television. His fingers fumbled with the remote control, his expression unreadable. Suddenly, he snapped and

CHERRY'S POVI feel so guilty for lying to big Sis but I know that if I told her that I am working as a cleaner, she would definitely make me resign.As of the new job, I am staying to do the work. I will just stay out of that mean man's trouble.I need to work out the money that I will use for her company's party. I will also buy some clothes for my mother as well.Yesterday, the work was really hectic because of Sir Andrew.But after the advice from my new friend and colleague, I am willing to do this work with diligence. “Mother, I am late for work. I am going now. Make sure you take your medicines as prescribed, do you hear me?”. I said to my mum who was lying on her bed but not sleeping. “I have heard you. I hope you haven't finished all the food at home?”“Mum, how can I finish the food at home? I have eaten my share, your share is waiting for you in the kitchen”.“Alright take care then. And don't come back late, okay?”“Alright. ..Alright”. I pecked her cheeks hurriedly and
EMMA'S POVAs soon as Jason dropped me at home, I had to send a memo to my team about the celebration that will take place next Saturday.I also sent another memo that there will be a meeting tomorrow morning. The agenda is to discuss the occasion.Promotion of best staff will also be held on that day. It's been a long time since I visited Cherry, and her mother. I will visit them tomorrow after the meeting and invite them for the occasion.Jason came back late at night, I was too lazy to stand up and speak to him. When I woke up this morning I didn't see him.I saw a note that he left instead. He has gone for important work.He prepared breakfast before leaving. Jason is really caring. How did I ever doubt his love in the first place? What a foolish girl I was at that time.But since I've known better, I will never doubt him again. I freshened up and prepared for work. I had lots of things to arrange at the office.The team was already settled at the conference hall, waiting for m
SIMEON'S POVThings are not going the way I planned anymore. Veronica is bent on ruining my life.All I wanted was to pay her off after she gives birth to my child and see if Emma will give me a second chance at love.But here I am letting Emma slip away from me. Now she just sent me a text message for me to send $20000 to her.It's not that $20000 is a big deal to me. It's just that she won't stop pestering me in the future about giving her money.I dialed her number in my phone and called her to come over for a serious discussion.I have been waiting for her for the past hour now and she hasn't shown up. And I have something important to do.The child whose mother I used to ruin Emma's wedding has now been tracked down by my men.“Have you been waiting for so long?”. She entered the living room with a smirk.I glared at her but I decided not to let her crawl all over me.“We have a wedding to plan and you need to move in so that we can start planning the wedding”. I announced it to
JASON'S POVWe are on our way to the hospital to confirm the result of the test I did three days ago.I just hope it won't be that I have dementia.“You look worried Jason, what's wrong?”. Emma, who was observing my facial expression, asked.“I am fine”. I replied simply.“But you look worried Jason. I told you that I will always be by your side no matter what the result says”.“I just want to be fine. I don't want to be diagnosed with dementia”. “I don't want that either, but if the result says otherwise, we can't do anything about it”.“I understand. Thank you for your support Emma”.“C'om I thought we've passed the stage of saying thank you?”. I smiled and held her hand while I continued to drive.When we got to the hospital, we saw the doctor and he explained the result to us.My fear came through. I had dementia. The doctor gave me some medication that would help and Emma tried her very best to encourage me to be strong.Emma was my only strength. Since she is not going to leave
