***Chris Kingston’s POV***

My heart is beating so fast and my breath has quickened as I move closer to Linda. Damn, she looks so good.

Her lips are slightly parted and I can only imagine how soft they must feel.

It is like I am being drawn to her, and the way she is looking straight in my eyes ignites the heat in my blood even more.

I move closer and closer to her until I am inches away from kissing her. I can even feel her hot breath on my face and I know she can feel mine. She is not making any attempt to stop me and that turns me on even more.

It has been months since I have felt this way, since I lost my wife and child, I have not romantically or sexually pursued anyone. It was like my emotions got turned off with remote control.

Just as I am about to allow my wild emotions to have full reign on me and kiss her, a very vivid image of my wife appears in my mind and I flinch away instantly.

“No, this can not happen. I am so sorry,” I apologize to Linda as guilt washes over me enti

    “I am not in the mood for your jokes this morning, Zara,” I keep my eyes on the work I am doing on the laptop and she scoffs in response.I know my best friend, Eric has…problems but I don’t think he would go that far. “Does it look like I’m joking?” She asks me, and I look up at her. I try my best to avoid glancing at her breasts.“Um, yeah it does,” I reply to her and she rolls her eyes.She and I have worked together from the day that this company was a start-up, so we have a very casual and calm dynamic. She is more like a friend to me than an employee, a friend that I pay every month of course.“I knew you wouldn’t believe me, you trust Eric too much even though has failed you over and over,” She argues.“Don’t talk that way about him, Zara. And if you don’t have any proof of what you are claiming happened, then I would like to be left alone,” I say to her.She sighs and then she leaves my office. In two minutes, she returns with a digital tablet and a folder in her hands. She w

    What is he doing here? I have planned over and over in my mind on what I would do when I finally see Mitch, but I never thought I would get to so early, and it is like I am mute. My heart is beating so fast and it feels like I am losing my breath as I stare at him. My hands are literally shaking and I feel an incredible wave of sadness wash over me.“Can I come in?” He asks in a soft tone as he walks closer to me, but I push the door so I can shut it in his face. I do not want to talk to this monster! I am not ready!“Hey, hey!” He says as he stops the door from closing by using his leg to hold it back.“Please just let me talk to you,” He begs as I keep trying to push the door shut but he is too strong.“Go away!” I yell as tears fall freely from my eyes.“Please just go away!” I cry out again, and he finally lets go of the door. I close it and instantly lock it as if he is a serial killer seeking to kill me.“Linda, I know I messed up, which is why I am here. To give you the closu

    “Oh, no. I don’t believe I can help you,” I reply to the lady as the waiter returns. He has the food that I ordered to take home. It is decently wrapped and in a fancy plastic bag. I take it from him and I put it on the table.“Thank you,” I say to the waiter, and he smiles in response as I reach for the glass of water on the table and place it in my mouth to drink.“So this is the lovely lady you have been waiting for,” He says, and I almost choke on the water.“Oh, no,” Victoria replies to him.“Gosh, no,” I add after a few uncomfortable coughs.The waiter looks slightly embarrassed by his assumption, he apologizes and then excuses himself as quickly as he can.“I would be on my way now, it was nice to meet you,” I smile as I excuse myself while taking the food with me.“I said that I needed your help, but I didn’t say that it was a request,” She says in a cold tone as she smirks. “You want your debts to be forgiven and to be free from our hold on you and your precious companies,

    ***Linda Wells’ POV***“She has been this way since a guy with a ponytail left,” The cleaning lady tries to explain to Chris. He looks beyond confused as to what is happening.I feel so sad but also so angry! I feel like breaking everything that I can, I have already smashed three vases.“I was so stupid,” I say to myself as I cry, tears blur my vision for a second, and then I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around me. When my vision clears, I realize that it is Chris, he is trying to comfort me.“It’s okay, you’re alright,” He whispers comforting words to me as I lay my head on his chest and cry my eyes out.“I really wish it was,” I sob.“Do you know who this guy is?” Chris asks the cleaning lady.“Me? I don’t, but she explained to me that he was the man she was supposed to marry,” She replies to him, reminding me of it all.“Crap. How did he even know she was here?” His voice raises a bit, and although he should not be yelling at the cleaning lady, she knows nothing, but I know he

    ***Linda Wells’ POV***IT is morning and I am getting ready for a jog. Yesterday was a very emotional day for me; Mitch visited, Chris caught meanwhile I was having a mental breakdown, I missed my date with him at the restaurant he picked out, and he and I ended up shouting in the living room like crazy people.It was like a rollercoaster, I was feeling really depressed and then Chris made me feel alive again; he reminded me that I mattered and that I deserved to be happy.After our fooling around in the living room, we binge-watched a show until 2 am. I can’t remember when last I did that, even when I was with Mitch. I can still remember how I laid my head on Chris’ shoulder and he told me that my hair smelled like roses. He can be so carefree and yet so responsible at the same time, I’m afraid that I may be falling for his charm.When I am all ready for my jog, I head out of the room after I have cleaned it and down the stairs.

    Is Ben joking? He has to, right? “Tell me you’re joking,” I scoff as I say this to him, but he looks dead serious.“I wish I was. Mitch is on his way back to America as we speak. He says that he is going to explain it all to our parents; him cheating on you with me, absolutely everything,” He replies to me as he sips his hot coffee.He keeps adjusting his hoodie to cover his face as if he is hiding from someone or hiding a part of his face.“We fought about it last night at the hotel, it is where we have been staying since we found out that you were here in China. We came here to try to make things right with you, but something changed in Mitch when he came back from seeing you yesterday,” Ben continues to explain, and I listen to him attentively.“He was distant, and when I told him that I wanted him to be mature enough to choose between you and me, he went ballistic,” Ben says as he sniffles.“And that’s how you got that bruise on your face,” I guess, and he nods.“Yeah, he was so

    “He seems…very masculine,” Ben comments once Chris has left, and I chuckle.“That’s a distinct way of describing a person,” I reply to him as I sit next to him on the couch.“I guess he does,” I say after I take a few seconds to think about it. That adjective fits Chris perfectly for some reason.“I didn’t know you were gay,” I look at Ben as I say this in a soft understanding tone.“Neither did I,” He replies to me in a similar soft tone.“You and I know that I dated only girls in high school, and at some point, I was even very homophobic,” He reminds me, and I nod slowly.I remember that Ben used to bully this one kid in his class who was homosexual. I told him to stop over and over but he never did. The kid had to transfer schools because it got too much, his name was Kelvin.“Yup,” I say in response to him.“I bet Kelvin would laugh his a** off when he finds out that I actually like men too,” He mumbles.“Maybe,” I put a rogue strand of hair back behind my ear as I say this.“You

    “Shame? When have I ever brought shame to this family?”I ask him in annoyance. I feel triggered by what my dad just said. I am pissed, and I am also hurt.“I have done everything that you people have wanted me to do, I have been the most perfect child. Why else do you people want from me?!” I raise my voice.“You don’t have to keep talking to them, you could end the call right now,” Ben whispers to me, but I ignore him.“You? Done everything that we told you? Did you do medicine in college as we advised you to?” My dad laughs as he asks.“You know what? I am done with you people trying to control my life, I am sick of it. You two call yourselves parents, but is that true? Do you know the amount of time I felt like I was a stranger in my own family?” I reply to him, we are literally having a full-blown argument.“I don’t like that you’re painting us to be bad parents,” My mom joins the conversation again.“Where’s Ben? Is he hearing all the crap that his sister is saying?” She adds as

Maybe beautiful…but also, maybe awfully like hell.I began to hum a tone when I reached down the stairs. I’m someone who likes to be alone but recently I have been home alone during the day most of the time.I don’t work anymore because Chris makes a whole lot of money and I graduated from university last month.I should be working, my parents wanted it to be like that, but oh Chris, he said that that was never going to happ

    I inhale sharply at the mention of the name of the man that my wife had an affair with. This man happens to be the same man that she had a baby for and tricked me into believing that the child was mine. This man is the goddamn same person that started this takeover battle so he and Violet could kick me out of my own company that I worked endlessly to build. Why the hell is he here to see me? “Is he alone?” I ask Zara, and she studies my facial expression for a few seconds before answering slowly,” Yeah.” “Good,” I say in a breathy way as I walk away from her desk and head towards the conference room. I receive a few more congratulations from some of the associates that I walk by before I reach the glass door of the conference room. I push the door open and I walk confidently into the room. Zackery is sitting in one of the chairs at the large table and he stares at me as I approach him. “How are you, Mr. Kingston?” He says as he stands to his feet to greet me. He extends his

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***It is the next day and I am getting ready to go to the company for the first time since the takeover battle. My best friend, Eric is supposed to meet me there in an hour. Yesterday was very eventful, and I can still remember vividly how pissed Sue was. Despite her attitude, I still took Linda to see the small garden of flowers behind the house.It is one of the things in this compound that I am very proud of. The flowers there are lovely and of many kinds. The garden is well taken off by Sergio, I assigned him personally to it years ago.Linda was impressed by the beauty of the garden. She kept stopping every minute to get a whiff of how the flowers’ scent.“Good morning,” I greet Linda as I approach her. She is sitting on the couch watching the Channel 6 News as she sips on some hot tea. Her hair is held in a messy bun, and she is wearing a blue bedroom robe.“Oh,” She says when she sees that I am already dressed formally. I am wearing a gray suit, with a

    Zackery’s eyes go crazy when he sees me running towards him with the shard of glass in my hand. He jumps out of the way and he cusses loudly as he falls to the ground with force.I stop myself when I reach the desk as my chest heaves up and down in a fast motion.“What the hell?!” He asks loudly, and I take his place by standing in front of his desk. “I am walking out of here with those papers,” I inform him firmly as I keep my eyes on him. I use the shard as a way to keep him a distance from me.He stands to his feet, and then he runs his hand through his hair.“F*ck!” He yells in frustration, and I tighten my grip on the shard of glass. As I do this, the sharp edges tear more at my skin but I ignore it. With the amount of adrenaline running through me right now, I barely feel the pain.“Just let me walk out of here with the papers,” I beg him, and he thins his lips.“Violet, if you want the papers so bad, I don’t care, you can have them,” Zackery says to me as he walks toward the f

    ***Violet Kingston’s POV***Zackery soon returns with two wine glasses and a bottle of the expensive liquor in his other hand. He has a grand smile on his face and his eyes are full of excitement.“Did he put up a fight?” He asks me as he places the wine glasses on his desk. He then opens the bottle of liquor and pours some of its content into both of the glasses.“Who are you talking about?” I inquire, though I have a feeling that he is referring to Chris.“Who else would I be talking about? Chris of course!” Zackery exclaims and I force a small laugh.He hands me one of the wine glasses and I take it from him gently. He then takes his own and places his other hand in his pocket.“Yeah, I guess he did,” I reply to him in a dull tone. He raises his glass up for a toast and I instinctively do the same. Our glasses make a distinct sound when they hit each other and Zackery cheers happily.“Hey, wait,” He says after he has sipped some of the liquor.“Why the attitude?” He asks, and then

    Violet bends low and opens the folder. She then takes out a neat stack of documents from the orange folder and places them on the coffee table. I sit on the couch and I begin to review the legal documents. They are legit divorce papers, and all that is missing is my signature.“You could take a few days to think about this if you would like,” Linda suggests and I look at her. She gives me a reassuring smile, silently letting me know that she would be here for me no matter what choice I make.“I’m good,” I reply to her, and she sighs while whispering, “Okay then.”I look back at the papers, and I feel a churning in the pit of my stomach. This could be one of the biggest mistakes of my life, or this could turn out good. I don’t know for sure, but I won’t till I try.“Here,” Violet hands me a pen and I take it from her tentatively.Sue is going to be pissed as hell when she finds out about what I am about to do. I sign the documents, and when I am done, I hand them to Violet. She place

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***As I head from the kitchen and back into the living room, I hear the front door close. I am also hearing a voice that does not belong to Linda. “Who was at the door?” I ask loudly when I enter the living room. My eyes land on the guest and I am flabbergasted.It’s Violet. “What the hell are you doing here?” I ask her harshly. My voice is slightly raised and by the surprised and very uncomfortable look on Linda’s face, I can tell that she has no idea how to act or what to do.“Chris, I think you should lower your voice,” Linda advises me, and Violet agrees in a daring tone.“Yeah, she’s right, I think you should,” She says as she sits down on the couch.“You have no right to be here,” I say in between my teeth as I try my very best to control my temper.“Oh, I have no right to be here, but you have the right to replace me when we have not even divorced,” She argues, and her tone is tinted with jealousy.She’s jealous of Linda? “I am not your replacement,”

    “So you don’t trust me?” Chris asks Sue, and I try to intervene.“Of course, she does,” I reply at the same time that Sue disagrees by saying “No,” firmly.“The f*ck?” Chris scoffs.“Look, Mr. Kingston, I am just being honest. I trust you in other matters, but not when it comes to the divorce papers that your wife might have probably already mailed you,” She replies to him smoothly.She then leads us to a very magnificent jet plane. The stairs are already out, giving us a way to board the impressive aircraft.Once we have all boarded and fastened our seatbelts, the jet moves out of the hanger and down the runway before finally taking off. “Your wife would try all she can to get you to sign those papers, she would taunt you, and push you to the edge. So having Linda with you to remind you of the reasons you can’t sign them seems smart to me,” Sue explains to Chris when we are at cruising altitude.“Besides you representing your shady association in this matter, what do you gain person

    “Good, you’re already dressed,” Sue’s voice gets louder as she walks toward the living room.Chris closes the door and follows her until they both approach me. Sue is wearing a different outfit, this one is more casual than the last one she was wearing last night.A frown sits on her lips as she eyes me from head to toe.“Linda, Linda, Linda,” She says in a frustrating tone.I stand upright and I wait to hear what she has to say. “Chris is in a war and should be in China before the end of the day. If you are going to be coming along, at least you should have had the courtesy to be showered and dressed already,” She scolds me.“It was my fault, I turned off the alarm because I wanted her to get more sleep, she has been through a lot,” Chris defends me. I don’t even remember there being an alarm clock in any of the bedrooms, he is just trying to take the blame.“Yeah, you got a point. Sorry, Linda,” Sue apologizes easily as she pushes to the side the bags and boxes of things Chris ord
