CARLTON'S POV

“How could you do that?”

The room is as still as ice as my Father paces back and forth. His eyes inflamed as they glared at me.

Apparently, there are already rumours of my collaboration with Tristan Delights. People think I may be framing the company and that is where Marigold's father's speculations came from.

“I am only trying to promote the company,” I quietly reply him.

“Promote? Don't be a joker. You're destroying everything we have worked for. How could you make such a drastic decision, all on your own. You didn't deem it right to inform me, huh?”

I nod my head, recalling our past argument on the company, and the numerous ones before that. When will he ever support my decision. To be frank, I am getting frustrated of all this back and forth.

“Do you know how furious the Campbells are? They are partners and you didn't even inform them. How can you make such a reckless decision, Carlton?”

The Campbells are Marigold's parents. Her Father has been call

As usual, the media arrived at so many conclusions as to why a company like ours would partner with a drowning company.

Since when have you been seeing each other?!” Mari-gold had been ranting the same thing right from when we were in the car driving back to the mansion and as soon as we gets in, she doesn’t waste time to attack me. She didn’t even give me room to breath. I throw my keys to the table collapse on on couch. “Answer me, Carlton,” “Get a grip Mari-gold!” I scoff, getting really irritated. “No, why is she here?,” she asks again, impatiently tapping her feet to the floor. “We are business partners. The man you saw beside her, that's Tristan Martinez, CEO of Tristan delight. Dahlia bought shares in my company through him. This partnership will get the company back on its feet and redeem our reputation.” “At least that's the plan…,” I add. “Terminate it.” I sharply turn to look at her in her akimbo stance.

    DAHLIA'S POVI enter the office and my eyes subconsciously search for Carlton. He is seated at the far end of the office but even with the distance and space between us, I suddenly feel nauseated as anger seeps through me. I clench my fist tightly glaring at him, like if we were left alone in the room, I would kill him immediately. I stare at the face that had brought so much pain and anguish to my life. The face of a betrayer. Left to me, if this was truly a business endeavor, for the purpose of generating income, I would never partner with someone like Carlton. Not only is he a traitor, but he is a manipulator and a self-centered person, who doesn't care if people around him are hurt. I came to the conclusion of this, the day he told me to my face that I should abort my babies. And the rest of the foreplay from then was just icing on the cake.As I glare at him, I remember how much his face had tormented me in prison. How it kept recurring in my dream and I would wake soaked in m

    CARLTON’S POVIt’s been two days since my P.A informed me about the proposal from Tristan Delight. He was able to schedule a meeting date, and that is today. My heart beats rapidly as I put on my shirt. I am having mixed feelings of anxiety and excitement. I open the drawers in the dressing room, and carefully select a tie that says rich and approachable but don’t fuck with me. You can have on a very elegant suit that radiates class, but your tie option is the deal breaker. I’ve been in the business of engaging investors and shareholders for a long time, and I have mastered the art of impressing them. I pick up a thick dark blue tie with little recurrent square boxes designed in the same shade as the tie. It is rich, simple yet assertive. Wearing a fancy tie to a board meeting isn’t exactly ideal, but your tie game differentiates you from others seated at the table. I stare at my reflection, I am putting on a dark blue suit with a light blue shirt. The tie compliments the outfit trem
