Sunday, the next day.

Morning at the Donovan mansion.

Charles stared at his grandpa, his mind far from what the Old Man was saying.

"Explain yourself?", Ryn demanded angrily, holding out his phone for his grandson to see.

Charles shrugged.

Ryn hissed at his grandson's nonchalant attitude, "what will your fiancee think?".

"Does it matter, moreover she was aware?" Charles answered calmly.

“Excuse me….”, Ryn choked on his grandson's words.

“Don't you have any shame, what will the world think? You were having an affair with our business partner”.

"I never cared about what the world thought, so why should I start now", Charles answered, tapping his foot impatiently.

Ryn shook his head. “Fine, don't care about yourself, what about her, what about her reputation?".

Charles groaned, running his hand through his hair. “His grandpa was right, he was being stupid right now. What about Taylor, she was involved in the scandal too".

Charles whipped his phone out and dialed a number, "Jack, I want y

    About what......wait how did you find out?", Kate asked surprised, as she rubbed her forehead, "just great", she thought.Seriously Kate?, Literally the whole world knows", Andrew groaned trying to stay calm."I don't understand Andrew ", Kate signed confused."You tell me Kate, your affair with the King of business is all over the net", Andrew yelled, jealousy in his tone."Apparently someone took a picture of the both of you making out at the terrace at yesterday's event and made a scandal out of it", Andrew slammed his fist on his desk."Great another gossip", Kate thought sarcastically and she could only think about one person who was behind it, Rose. Rose had already hurt Kate's ego by getting engaged to Charles, and dared to humiliate her by revealing her and Charles' affair, turning it into a scandal."At least the billionaire did one good thing, he took down the post before it could become a disaster", Andrew said relieved."That's good news", Kate shrugged.Kate heard Andrew

"Rose dear you're very smart", she praised, grinning.She had finally gotten back at Taylor, by revealing her and Charles' affair turning it into a scandal, just when the whole world found out she was engaged to Charles."What did Taylor think, that she'll just sit and watch the two of them continue with their silly game - affair. No, Charles was her fiance", Rose thought with a sly smile."Now no one will dare mess with her knowing she is going to be the next Mrs Donovan"."She did it", Rose thought proudly. She was no more the poor and low-class Rose from the past rather a rich and classy woman, getting all the rights the rich enjoy. And was soon going to be the mistress of the most influential family in the city, from rags to riches.Rose always wondered why people like Kate -self-centered, bratty rich kids, were privileg

    Kate hissed, walking into the company, heading to the elevator, she spotted Jack standing right in front of the elevator. “Was he waiting for someone”, she wondered."Morning Jack", she greeted as she got close."Morning Miss Cosgrove", Jack bowed slightly."What are you doing here?"."Boss said I should wait here every morning to escort you to the office, you know due to your phobia", Jack explained."He did!"Kate exclaimed, surprised."Yes ma, I know I'm not meant to be saying this but my boss really cares about you Miss Cosgrove"."Hmmmm", Kate nodded, pressed a button and stepped in the elevator with Jack.The elevator stopped at the 30th floor as both of them stepped out."I'll take your leave", Jack informed and stepped back in the elevator.Kate watched Jack leave before walking towards the office, knowing Charles was already there.

    Lunch time at the cafeteria. Kate sat with Gracie eating while the latter ranted about Saturday's event. "I'm still shocked that Charles is engaged to that witch, that arrogant wanna be heiress", Gracie hissed angrily."And I’m sure she's also the one responsible for that post. It's a good thing you didn't see it Taylor, those netizens are just too much", Gracie shook her head."They were calling you all sorts of names, bad names and that you wanted to snatch Charles away from Rose, can you believe that'', she added with an eye roll."Are you done?", Kate asked with a sign seeing as Gracie stopped talking.Gracie stared at her friend in disbelief "aren't you a little bit angry about it?"."I would be lying if I say I wasn't angry at first but I don't care anymore, it has been removed anyway", Kate answered truthfully."But what about the comments, they were calling you bad names and spreading rumors about you, saying total nonsense, won't you defend yourself.....", Gracie stated angr

    "You saw the state of the car when we got there, there was no way Kate could have survived that crash. No one knew she was going to drive late at night and meet with the accident", Nathaniel explained."So no one could stop her from leaving the house, it was because she had gone to meet him. Kyle Bruce, he's the reason for my daughter's death, why wasn't he punished", Tiffany shouted angrily, sitting up."How could anyone stop her Tiff, Kate's an adult and there was no evidence to prove Kyle was connected to Kate's accident or her death. We can't do anything to him as long as he isn't found guilty of the crime", Nathaniel explained in a gentle tone."She had gone to his house that night, the GPS tracker said so, he was the last person she saw, isn't that enough"."It still doesn't prove he's related to the accident or her death", Nathaniel said, rubbing the back of her hands gently, trying to calm her down."After we conducted some tests on the car, we found out that it was a mechanic

They had agreed he'll come pick her up at the company by 5:00pm, she was doing the finishing touch to her makeup.As much as Kate hates the fact she was going on a date with Kyle, she won't miss the opportunity to doll herself up."You'll just have to survive the night with him Kate", she mentally told herself before stepping out her side of the office, her handbag in her hand.Charles raised his head hearing the clicking of heels, as it meant Taylor was leaving and couldn't help being blown away by her beauty."Where was she going all dolled up", he wondered, his Adam apple bobbed in restraint as he eyed her. "Taylor was a beauty and could make any man go crazy for her", he nodded in his head.Charles suddenly felt a surge of jealousy run through him, as he took long strides towards her."Where are you going?" he asked, trying to sound nonchal

    At Onyx restaurant.Kate stared down at the food, before she was really hungry but now she didn't have the appetite to eat."You sure you're okay Beauty, cos since we got here you've been zoning out", Kyle said forcing Kate to look at him."Excuse me...oh sorry it's just got a lot of things on my mind", Kate said with an apologetic smile."Forget about them, and think about our date, your mind should be on me", Kyle winked, then stood up."Of course", Kate said, giving him a fake smile as she watched him walk away just to come back some minutes after holding two glasses of wine."Here it will help you relax," Kyle said, offering her a glass of wine."No thanks, I don't plan on getting drunk tonight", Kate declined his offer with a cute smile."Oh", Kyle nodded in understanding, "what about juice?"."No thanks, am good", Kate declined again.Kyle let out a chuckle sitting back down, "I am not going to drug you princess, so just relax and enjoy yourself"."Why do I have a hard time beli

    “Charles was going to go against his grandpa for her”. Was he mad? Seemed like it. "And I know you like him too”, Ryn muttered, placing his hand over hers, squeezing it in a supportive manner. “I do!?” Kate uttered, her question coming out as a statement, a blush appearing on her cheek unbeknownst to her, as she stared at their hands. She could feel the fast beating of her heart. “Charles liked her. She liked Charles”. Ryn squeezed her hand one last time, before placing his hand back at his side. “Charles could act tough all he wanted, but he's hurting. He needs you dear, only you can make him feel better”, he said. “How did the Old Man know for sure she could make him feel better, all she had done to Charles was hurt him”, she thought sadly, feeling ashamed. “I'm not meant to tell you this but you aren't the first person Charles had fallen in love with, and she loved him back. We were already planning their wedding, even though they were still in highschool then”. Kate

    A NEW DAY. Kate drove her car into the parking lot of Donovan Car Enterprise. Glancing at Charles' spot, no sign of his black Mercedes. Another day and Charles hadn't arrived. Checking the time on her wristwatch, 7:45. "There was still time", she sighed. “He could just be running late”, she told herself. Letting out a frustrated groan, “Why did she even care!?”. Kate walked to the entrance, about entering the building, when an old man walked up to her. “Miss Cosgrove”, the elderly man said. “Yes”, Kate nodded, raising her eyebrows in a polite manner. “How may I help you?”. “Ryn…Old Man Donovan would like to see you”. “See me”, Kate asked, an unconvinced look on her face. “Why would Charles' grandpa want to see her?”. “Where is he?”. “There”, the man pointed to a black SUV not far from them. Kate gave him a weary look. “She didn't trust him”. “He wants to speak to you, it's important”, he added, a stern expression on his face, not bothering to convince her.

    “How did he become friends with these two idiots?” Charles wondered, as he watched his two best friends talk about the recent happenings in his life, in his presence!. Alexander did the talking while Vincent listened with rapt attention. “Are you guys done?” Charles asked, his forehead creased in annoyance. They both turned to stare at him, a teasing grin forming on their faces. “I always knew we were going to end up becoming family, but I didn't think you'd have to marry Rose”, Vincent said, displeasure laced in his tone. “Katie’s best friend... It was meant to be her”, he murmured, not saying the last part out loud. “But you love Taylor don't you, why not marry her instead”, he said. “I know we won't be family anymore but I'll always support your choice”, he added, giving Charles a supportive nod. Charles shook his head at Vincy's words. “Too bad he won't be able to do that anymore”, Alexander spoke with a sigh. “Why not?” Vincent asked, confused. “Charles is

    Charles glanced at his wristwatch, his back to his car, tapping his foot impatiently on the concrete ground, with his arms crossed. “His flight had landed 15 mins ago, why wasn't he here yet”, he grumbled, staring at the exit door. Glancing at his watch again, it was 1:00 pm now. He had thought about going to the office today but it seemed like he wouldn't make it again. “Sigh!”. He hadn't been able to go to the office because he was preparing for the task his grandfather had given him – he needed to be ready to face them. Replaying his conversation with his grandpa. “You can stop pursuing Miss Cosgrove. I hear she's dating someone now”. And that was how his grandpa decided to start their conversation. “Son of the Bruce family, Kyle. I think he's a nice guy”, he added. Charles worked his jaw, just when he had forgotten about it – not like he did – his grandpa just had to remind him. “Grandpa, you didn't call me here to tell me this, did you?” He asked, an annoy

    “Was there a reason why you jumped on me when you walked in, Miss Cosgrove?” Charles asked, trying to sound indifferent. Kate was focused on her entwined fingers; she didn't notice the hopeful look in his eyes. “It's nothing I was just glad you were__ I meant your hand was alright”, Kate stammered, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Oh I see”, Charles frowned disappointedly, quickly replacing it with a stoic expression. “I'll be on my way then Miss Cosgrove”, he added, walking past her to the door. “Wait!” Kate exclaimed, stopping him in his tracks. “Where are you going, you just got here?” she asked, surprised. “He was leaving already or was he just ignoring her”. She frowned at the thought. “I have a multimillionaire business to take care of. I can't sit in my office all the time”, Charles answered with a cocky grin. “Is there a reason you don't want me to go?”. “No, it's just__”, Kate shuttered, suddenly feeling nervous. “What did Gracie say, sort out your feelings,

    THE NEXT DAY. Kate rolled her eyes at the person on the other end of the phone. Just when she thought yesterday's gossip had ended. Andrew just had to call her to talk about it, on her way to work!. “What are you up to now Kate?” Andrew groaned, questioning, clearly displeased about the post. “Getting back with your ex, really!?”. “Technically Taylor is the one dating Kyle not Kate”, Kate corrected, stopping her car at a red light. She had connected her earbuds to her phone. After her accident she was weary of connecting her phone to her car, and was cautious of the information she stored too, to prevent a virus getting into it. Prevention was better than cure afterall. “I know Kate, still!” Andrew argued. Kate tapped her finger on the steering wheel, waiting for the light to turn green. “I'm just getting my revenge on Kyle, Andrew, nothing to worry about”. The light turned green, she continued driving. “By dating him Kate, is that really necessary”, he tsked. “If

    At Charles penthouse Charles stared at his injured palm now wrapped in a bandage. Fred had come over to help clean it up. Running his hand through his hair. Had he read the signs wrongly? Taylor didn't love him like he thought . “He would have accepted it, if it was any other guy but it had to be Kyle”. The world had to be playing some cruel game with him. First Kate and now Taylor. His phone rang, disrupting his thoughts. He eagerly took his phone, a frown appearing on his face seeing it wasn't her – Taylor – placing his phone at his ear. “What now?” He hissed. “Woah dude! Woke up on the wrong side of the bed I see” the other person chuckled. “I don't have all day Vincy”, he hissed again. He knew he was behaving like an ass, a big jerk, but that's what happens when Taylor makes him mad. “Just wanted to remind you, I'm coming home next week, permanently “, Vincent said, ignoring his friend's cocky attitude. “And!?”. “You're picking me up from the airport.

    Rose eyed Catherine, sitting across from her, making the other weary. “Is there a problem ma?” Catherine asked, seeing as Rose hadn't said a word since she called for her. Rose kept staring at her, her gaze particularly on the two diamond cluster earrings which hung on Catherine's ear. “Why did she lie?” Was the thought on Rose's mind. “Or was she telling the truth?”. “After going through the CCTV footage for the past 2 hours - majorly skipping some parts - she found something interesting”. “Catherine had been to her office last week, when she went out, it was the day Kyle had walked in on her”. She had watched Catherine drop the file, accidentally knocking the stapler over, then bending down to pick it, nothing strange there, except it took her 5 minutes to pick up a stapler - a whole 5 minutes. She didn't miss the way Catherine stood rigid after she stood up, with the stapler in her hand, like someone caught doing something wrong, when Kyle had entered her office. “

    At FastTech Limited, Everyone was seated around a conference table. Old Man Andino sat at the head chair, on his left was his secretary when he was the CEO and beside the man was Nathaniel, while on his right was an empty seat, and beside the seat was Rose, as the shareholders and the heads of departments filled the rest of the seats. It was the seasonal meeting held mid month of the start of a new season between the shareholders, and heads of department. Everyone was present, except one person, the seat beside Rose, at Old Man Andino right was empty. Rose wondered who the person was for the Old Man to wait patiently and make every other person wait as well. She had heard the person was going to be the new CFO, and was once an employer, and someone close to the Old Man – courtesy of her gossiping workers. 30 mins later and still no sign of their newcomer. Rose glanced at the wall clock, an annoyed expression on her face. It was time for the meeting to start but the Old Man wasn't
