Riley. “It is either we go 70-30, or there will be no deal.” My boss, Charles, gave it the final say.If I were asked, I would say that he had already decided when he came here. When I started working, he made it clear that he had nothing to do with Johnson, but I am sure that the emails I forwarded to him managed to change his mind and get him here.The man I assumed was Mr. Johnson’s representative scoffed and dropped his pen on the desk. “That is ridiculous, Mr. Charles, " he pointed out.Was that ridiculous, as he had said? I didn’t go to business school, but I sure as hell understand why Mr. Charles wants the offer to favor him.If it goes down the hill, he has nothing to lose unless he has invested that much in it, but the bastard sitting here wouldn’t dare to make that mistake. “If you think my offer is ridiculous, you can stop trying to get me onto the team.” “I have already said it before. I had only come here because I believed Mr. Johnson had something that might interest

Charles.A month has passed, exactly two months since Riley had made her way into my life. Well, technically, I had forced her to be here.It is safe to say that she is beginning to lessen the walls she had built around her. Her tone changed whenever she spoke to me. It is a good thing; it keeps giving me hope that I could someday convince her to be a surrogate for Zelia."Should I cancel the meeting?" Riley's voice hit. It was soft, reminding me why I wanted her by my side.I shook my head no. I have already canceled a lot of meetings lately. The sudden tariff war is taking a toll on our businesses.My partners overseas threaten to cancel all our partnerships; thinking about it every time is tiring. "Set up the system and the projector.

Riley.My stomach sank at the thought of it alone. I have never imagined what it would be like coming face to face with Zelia after those painful years I went through.If only it wasn't for her and that cheat, then I would have still been happy. Now, I am stuck with kids who wouldn't just stop asking about the father, who probably wants to take them away from me when he finds out about their existence.“I can never let that happen,” I mumbled under my breath, no matter what, they are my kids.I went through all for them, so we will stick together until the end of the story. I checked my wristwatch; it was most of the time for when the perfect and beloved daughter would be touching down.What I am not sure is if she would be coming here straight to see her daddy, and oh, that was sarcasm. Or she would be going straight to the penthouse she owns with her beloved husband.I might be called bitter and wicked, but I took comfort in knowing that Zelia and Noah were lacking something in thei

Riley “I’m clocking out!” I called to my partner as I pulled off the apron that I was wearing. My back and head aches so much that I couldn’t help but groan as I collapsed on the chair at the back. It was still raining so heavily and there was no way I could get inside the rain. Sighing, I picked up my phone and went through it for a while before deciding to leave the cafe. The cafe is part of the only thing keeping me sane, aside from my boyfriend and knowing that I needed a place to crash before going back to the house my father left for me, I picked up my bag as I made my way out and stayed under the shade for a while. My life has always been boring since I was little and after the death of my father, I’d thought that I was going to find my mother but nothing I did was right. I was fifteen when my father died and that was when I started looking for my mother too but all of my efforts proved futile. Nothing led me to the person whose pictures and name was given to me and

Riley Walking into the club, the loud sound of the music booming pierced through my ears and it was so loud that I thought I was going to go deaf. It wasn’t my first time in a club so I knew what to expect but because of everything that had happened, it felt like I was hearing these sounds for the first time. I could feel the men’s hungry gazes on me as I walked but I ignored them all and usually, my reason for ignoring was always because I had a boyfriend but now, it was different. I didn’t only lose my boyfriend, I lost my best friend too. My world has completely fallen apart and even though I had the insane urge to go home with a stranger to make me feel better, I had no intention of entertaining anyone. After all, I'm only going to get drunk and then go back home to rid myself of all this pain. I went directly to the bar and sat on one of the chairs as I gestured for the bar attendant. He looked hot with his neatly cut hair, the slit on his left eyebrow and

Riley Things were rocky for a while but it didn’t take too long for me to adjust to life in the countryside. The first few months were difficult but I’ve adjusted and even grown more than I expected to. I now run a local coffee shop during the day with my mother and our neighbor, everything was going on well but one thing I wasn’t expecting that hit me like a cannonball was the fact that I wound up pregnant. Five months ago, all I was hell bent on doing was to make my life perfect, I wanted to finish college and be everything that my father would want me to be. I wanted to get a job and make my life better but things changed that day. I’d fallen sick and it was so serious that I had to go to the hospital for a few blood tests. I'd thought that maybe being in the countryside was taking a toll on me but that wasn’t it. “Congratulations, Riley, you’re pregnant.” The doctor had said and I could swear with my life that there was no difference between the news and ge

Charles It’s been four years, four whole years and I still couldn’t get her face out of my head or the thought of her out of my mind. She had successfully succeeded in making herself the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and the last thought that bugs me before I go to bed at night. I’d managed to find out what her name is and since then, her name wouldn’t stop ringing in my head no matter how hard I tried. Riley Benedict, the girl I’d thought of dismissing as a one night stand but ends up eating me alive. I tried my hardest to find her, did everything I could but the last time I saw her she was heavily pregnant and happily married and with no other choice, I had to let everything go no matter how hard it was. I didn’t even get to say hello to her. I didn’t get to talk to her because I didn’t want to bring up the past even though it was everything I wanted to bring up. I wanted to let her know that I still think about her, to let her know that there

“Do you have to go, Riley?” Nana asked as I pushed the last box into the truck.Her face has been down since the day I told her that I had made up my mind to leave the countryside. “I can help you set up another business here, and we will make it together.” She added.It isn’t just that, and she knows it. There is more to what we say. I opened my arms widely, letting her fall into my embrace. “I wish I could stay back, Nana. I wish.” I uttered, my eyes tearing up.Staying here when I had nowhere to go or someone to turn to was a good thing. I learned a lot of things, but life doesn’t come as easy as we always thought it would. “I will make sure to call you every day after work and then come and see you every month,” I promised.If it was up to me, Nana should be in the car with me. It feels heavy leaving her behind. Before the twins came, our life was better, and Brian was there to shoulder all my needs and help me around the cafe.But after that, everything changed.

Riley.I groaned out softly, wondering how the day went so badly, yet I held up to it. The twins were badly down with fever when I had left this morning.There wasn’t anything that I could expect to have grabbed them some antibiotics before I left the house. “Did you say you are in New York?” I asked Brian over the phone.It was just a minute to my lunch break and I couldn’t hold back the moment I had seen his message telling him that he was in town. “The twins, I need you to help me get them to the health center.” I requested after he had affirmed to me that he was indeed in New York.“Miss Riley, come to my office now.” The telephone on the desk beeped and I let out a low hiss.I promised Brian to call him back the moment that I am out for my lunch before straightening my skirt as I stood up. Last week, after the faithful event that made me shove my words down his throat and that had really helped me, because since then, he had been acting professional.Knocking on the huge door, I

Charles.It was a lie when I had told her that I had gotten those gift for someone else. When I had sighted my eyes on it, she was the only one that came to mind so I couldn’t help but get it. And it truly hurts my soul that she had to reject it that way.The least she could have done was take it from me and show her appreciation for it. “You have a meeting in twenty with Mr. Johnson.” Riley informed as she walked through the door.She is making her motive strong, that she really did came here to work, and not for anything else. “push it back.” I ordered. There have been some changes in the system, which she should have been notified by Sam, but I guess he filled her up on other things, not this.“Mr. Johnson has no business with us for now, so there is nothing left to be said. Instead, I want you to find a penthouse for me.” I added.Doesn’t this make me look weird as of my age? I am an adult, with a daughter that had started her own life and is looking forward to building a future w

Riley.It is a new day, a new week and the day that my boss is going to resume work. Before the old assistant left, Sam had shown me everything that I needed to know, every single thing about what my job requires me to do.Actually, I had thought that he was going to tell me that I needed to grab coffee for Mr. Charles every morning and how he hates it when it gets cold, but he didn’t. I had even asked, just to be on the safer side. “Mr. Charles doesn’t take coffee and even if he does, we have a cafeteria that serves all kind of food so you don’t have to buy it elsewhere.” Was Sam’s respond.At least, I have one issue taken off my back and much more to my shock, I was paid advance to cover up for whatever I needed. Sam said that it was something that the finance department had introduced when they noticed that most of their staffs finds in to adjust to the change of work and mode of transport.That was enough for me to hire a nanny for a month, even though Sandy had thrown a fit about

Charles.After adjusting my tie, I took a sip of the water that was kept in front of me. It is draining me out that I have to stay back in D.C to try and enclose a business deal that seems so much impossible. “Are you with us, Mr. Charles?” Someone called my name from the meeting room and I looked up.“Sorry, what did you say?” I asked, sounding as polite as I could be.By now, they must have noticed that I have only little interest in what they are presenting right now. I have already gone through the slides which they had provided me with last night, it was good and nothing to be changed about yet so I don’t get why we still have to spend hours trying to reach a conclusion about. “I was saying the signed documents would be sent to you tomorrow morning.” The represented informed.Standing up, I gulped down the rest of the water in the cup before responding to him. “the documents should be submitted today, as I will be flying back to New York as early as possible tomorrow.” I ordered.

Riley.“Don’t you think you would be missing out on this?” Brian questioned after I had managed to put the boys to sleep. It was a havoc coming back to miss the house scattered and I had to swear on myself for giving birth this early.Acting as if I didn’t hear what he had just said now, I began to pick up the toys that was flying around the house. I truly need to do something about the way these kids act when they are with Brian. “The pay is good and if you play the card good, he won’t do anything stupid.” He added.Putting away the toys, I looked at Brian. “I might have never said this, but those twins might belong to my ex and there is a very high chance that I would run into him. They would find out one way or the other.” I uttered in a single breath.The only way out and keeping the twins safe is staying out of their sides and lives. I have taken enough risk by coming back here, so I won’t take another. “That doesn’t even count or matter. You can always tell everyone that the kid

Charles.Depressed and pathetic, the two perfect words to explain how I am truly feeling right now. But I can’t help it. Sending that text to Riley, which was to serve as a threat was all I could do. The only game that I have up my sleeve to get her to meet me.Convincing her to be a surrogate might have to come later, maybe after I have gotten her to agree to work under me. Then everything would be perfect for me and my angel. Heaving out a sigh, I took a sip of the cocktail served to me.Luckily, I don’t easily get knocked out so I will late until I am done with Riley. It is late but I don’t care, I will be returning to D.C tomorrow and I will be taking Zelia with me to join Noah there, so it would be a long day for me, especially that I didn’t get to retire for the day early. “Do you need anything sir?” the waitress asked.“No, when the lady is here, send her up.” I repeated, just as I had told her ten minutes ago.I am sure that Riley would honor my invitation, since she wouldn’t
