It was a surprise considering she wasn't expecting him to ever smile at her. The others looked between them and had all had crease brows "What's going on here? What do you mean by it's all thanks to him? Did he help you with this?" Tristan asked and Adalyn was the one who replied."How else do you think this was put in place. Reggie did it all" Everyone were astonished, considering how Regan had been avoiding her for years. "That's quite unexpecte--" Sebastian's word was cut off by the voice of the MC. The show had began. "This event is the celebration of the collaboration between FW, headed by President Talisa Wauter and PHANTOM, headed by President Regan Keyvan. So, before this event starts, we would call the president of FW, Mrs Wauter, to give us her speech" The guests cheered as Talisa hurriedly left her family to go to the stage. She wasn't nervous since there was nothing to be nervous about. She smiled confidently as she climbed up the stage. "Thank you everyone for gran
The screen turned on and it showed footage of FW design department as they made the designs that had been given to them. It showed how hard they had been working to keep up with the deadline...then suddenly, the screen showed black and white like it was cracking, then it shifted to a video of a man and woman in an office, heavily making out. Loud moans and groans filled the hall and everyone's eyes widened."Are you sure the door is properly locked?" The woman whom every employees of FW immediately recognised as the new PA of the VP asked. "Don't worry, even if it's not locked, no one would dare enter the Vice president's office without my permission" The Vice president's urgent voice followed."The 'no one' doesn't include your bitch of a wife, right? Since she's the owner of the company, she can come in anytime" Isabella's voice sounded aggrieved and they saw as Steve gave a smacking kiss on her lips. "Don't worry about her, she still thinks you are my cousin so there's no reason
"Regan" She called again, her voice soft and very seductive. He didn't attempt to push her away but simply watched."Do you hate me?" "'No" his response held no hesitation. "Why? You hated me, right? It's that why you said those hurtful things to me? Isn't that why you started calling me Tally? Isn't that why you are being cold to me?" She sobbed as she let out her aggrievement. He gave an helpless look as he replied "I don't hate you, how could I possibly do that?" He lifted his hand to caress her face. He had missed being able to touch her at will. Talisa didn't seem to believe him as she continued "You told me to stay away and ignored me anytime you see me. Isn't that because you hated me?" She then wailed as she wrapped her hands around his neck. The drug was making her audacious but who was she to complain. It was actually making talking to Regan easier. "You hated me because I killed our Ilyse, you treated me like stranger" She hiccuped with her eyes now totally red. "Regan
What the actual fuck! To say she was shocked was an understatement after hearing what he had said. She looked at him and saw the nonchalant look he was giving her. "Wh..why are you telling me this?" She couldn't understand the reason he had decided to tell her instead of leaving her to be ignorant of it. He only looked up from his cup of copy then he grinned. He didn't seem to hold any grievance against her anymore and his expression had told her that. "Is there a reason you shouldn't know? Even if we've broken up, what's yours is yours. I just didn't have the opportunity to tell you before now" "Why are you being carefree with me?" She couldn't help but ask. She had to know to know how she was going to relate to him going forward. He stood up from his sit and started walking towards her. She stood up as if it was the most natural thing to do and now she was standing in front of him. "Why aren't you afraid of me?" He asked her just the same way she had questioned him. 'Why w
*Warning: This scene might be uncomfortable for some people, so you are free to skip*Steve opened his eyes, albeit painfully,. and checked his surroundings. Even with his eyes opened, it was no different from when it was closed as the place he was was utterly dark. He could hear the continuous tapping of something, like water was dropping and that was what made him realise he was standing inside water. He froze then tried to move his body, only to notice it had been tied to a pole-like structure. He grunted as he moved around relentlessly.Where the hell was he? "You are finally awake" He heard voice which sounded like the angels from hell were beckoning him to come. He flinched."Who are you? Why are you keeping me here?!" He bellowed as he struggled to get freed from whatever was typing him down but he only heard the clanking of metals around him.He could hear footsteps advancing towards him, then suddenly it stopped and blinding light shone. He was finally able to see where he
It's been two weeks since FW's exhibition and the company's status has risen higher as it was everywhere on news and Magazines that even big companies were seeking to collaborate with them. Another news that had spread like wildfire was the the fact that the ex vice president of FW, who was also the ex husband of the President of FW had been cheating on her with someone he had introduced to her as his cousin.The public had sympathize with her and immediately Talisa had presented the divorce papers and now she has been single for the past two weeks.The company had became busy than ever and no one even complained when Talisa brought in a new Vice president, who apparently was a woman this time. And they had no reason to complain because their new VP was extremely nice and friendly to everyone. In the President's office, four girls were occupying the couch that were facing one another. Two on each couch.Elina had came to visit Talisa today and the other two girls had left their offic
Adalyn heard what her friend had said and she glared at her."What do you mean by me spending company money on shopping? Women like me shouldn't appear in an event, looking out of place" "I sincerely pity Carlos for his future appears bleak at this moment" Talisa replied as she stood up in order to go continue her work. Adalyn only stuck out her tongue as she uttered "He isn't complaining" "When you go back home, remember to text me when the engagement party would be so I can clear my schedule" Talisa ignored her friend to reply to Tiana."No problem" *** It was some minutes past nine in the evening. Tiana had left earlier because she went home to prepare for her journey which was going to happen the next day. Adalyn had also went home when it was the usual time for everyone to finish work for the day.Talisa turned off the light in her office as she walked out. The floor she was was quiet like there was no living being in it but she could see the lights in some office on, which
Regan looked into her determined eyes with his scorching ones and suddenly, he bursted into laughter. His deep throaty laughter did something in her stomach and her eyes widened as she wasn't expecting him to laugh at all. The guy she had loved all her life was weird, like really weird and now she was actually seeing the side of him he had never allowed her to see in the past. "Bambina, why are you being so serious, hmm? You came barging into my house and doing all sort of things and now you are threatening me?" He then started moving and now she was the one trapped between him. Talisa didn't listen to anything else he had said after she heard him call her 'Bambina'. 'Doesn't that mean I'm on the lover stage?' 'If he calls me that then it means we are fine, right?' She wondered and Regan actually noticed her distracted look. He sighed before releasing her and started walking away. The moment Regan began walking away, she immediately came back to her senses and held him back. "Do
