I went back into my office and the phone on my table rang the moment I entered. I sat down and answered it."The next time you walk into my office without an invitation, you are fired," I heard Alex say and I pulled the receiver back, and stared at it briefly before putting it back to my ears."Yes,
After the call with Vera, I became devasted. I felt bad for destroying a relationship. I wondered what my reason was for doing such a thing. Even though I don't recall anything like that happening, Vera confirming Kira and Alex were a couple was forcing me to believe Kira's story. I didn't feel lik
I slowly opened my eyes and felt the softness of a pillow behind my head. I scanned my environment and realized I was in a bedroom. I sat up quickly but was hit with a headache.

"Oliv, think about it. This is for your safety. Mr Williams can't be trusted," Leo said and I could see the effort he was putting into convincing me to spend the night in his apartment."I mean why will he go through all that?" he said and I gave what Leo had said to me a thought.Spending a lot of
"Mr Smith, enough of your silly games. Hand my wife over to me or....." Alex said and the men standing with him pulled their guns out and aimed at Leo. My heart raced in my chest and anxiety drenched me like cold water. I was scared of someone getting shot. I placed my hand on my chest breathing he
Standing in the corridor was Maria, dressed in a long black jacket with her arms folded across her chest. Her bag hung on her right shoulder and she was wearing an up-to ankle boot. "What are you doing here?" I heard Alex question her and he moved to stand in front of me shielding me from Maria.I
"Ouch," I cried as I fell to the floor on my side. "Did you just drop me to the floor?" I questioned when I sat on my butt and tried to get up."No, you slipped out of my hand with all that struggling," he said and walked past me.I stood to my feet and rubbed the left side of my thigh which was th
I was still in my work clothes and my bag was nowhere in sight. I wondered if my bag was still sitting on the table inside my office. I remembered the food I asked Chantel to pack for me. It was also inside my office. I left the office in the afternoon and now it's late. I don't even know what time

Olivia's POVLeo's face turned dark and he quickly got down from the bed freeing me from what felt like an eternal torment for me. He walked angrily towards the door. He opened the door and stood there speaking to someone I could not see. The door was covering the person but I could hear the person
"Alexander didn't drug me. Someone else did. He only saved me from the person. He never took advantage of me technically. I submitted to him," I said. "Okay, in that case. I apologize. Now I will make you submit to me," Leo said and he brought something from his pocket.He tore it open and emptied

"Can I have my things," I said to the guard and he handed me my phone and I quickly turned it on. I got into the car with Austin and left my mum behind. The car soon moved with no destination in mind yet. "Why did you leave your mum behind?" Austin asked while I was dialling one of the member's co

Alexander's/Damien's POVTwo medical officers entered the ward and rushed to my side. They tried to stop me from getting off the bed."My wife is in trouble. I have to go find her," I said as they tried to hold me down."Sir, you need to relax. You just woke up from a coma hours ago," I heard the do
Hearing her, I know she had not changed. She just wanted me to wake up so she humbled herself. I felt disgusted by her cunning behaviour. "Your son, Alexander died because of Olivia and you feel, she would kill me too?" I was surprised by her statement because I am Alexander, she faked my death and
Alexander's/Damien's POVI was in bed relaxing. It felt like a weekend. I heard a familiar female voice crying for help. I could not ignore the cry so I turned in my sleep and eventually opened my eyes. The first thing I saw confused me because I thought I was lying in my bed, inside my mansion. I s
