Nice idea, and we'll end up paying less for the shares", Andrew said thoughtfully."But will he be willing to sign it", Andrew added worriedly."He'll be willing to sign, he won't even read the paperwork ", Kate said sure of it."You are very right, great idea Kate", Andrew praised making Kate chuckle."Okay I'll send the paperwork to him, what about the contract with Donovan Car Enterprise? "."Well, I think I might sign it with them actually", Kate answered truthfully."Looks like they really gave you a good first impression ", Charles noted."Yh, I'll decide after I have met him"."Sure, good luck and I'll send the paperwork to Mr George"."Sure", Kate nodded and ended the call.Kate was about to leave the terrace when she heard someone cry in pain."Ouch!", A little girl's voice said.Kate turned her head towards the direction and saw a girl with chestnut hair standing beside the Rose bush, holding up her finger."Hey! Are you hurt?", Kate asked worriedly as she ran over to her,
Later that day, at Oriental restaurant.Mr George sat, staring at the door expectantly. He had gotten a reply from Cain Industry saying they were ready to buy the shares.Out of greed, he increased the price. “He had totally hit the jackpot”, he thought, feeling proud of himself.He was becoming impatient, finally a dark skinned guy entered the room. Mr George had made a private reservation so it was just both of them."Mr George", Felix said."Yes", Mr George answered, his eyes bright like a kid who was getting a reward.Felix sat opposite Mr George, "shall we", he added, bringing out a file."Yes yes, where should I sign?",Mr George asked excitedly. Felix pointed where he should sign and the latter signed without reading it."Am done", Mr George announced happily."Remember no one should know about this", Felix warned while the latter just nodded."Here you go", Felix handed Mr George his own copy of the document. The pot bellied man collected it happily."I'll be going", Felix ann
The lady, who was working jumped up in fright, hearing her Boss' voice. "Had she done something wrong", she thought, scared."Did anyone talk to Katie?"Charles asked, his tone deadly."What do... you mean Sir", Stella stammered in fear."Don't let me repeat myself ", Charles warned his aura, deadly. "Who?", His tone, demanding."It was Miss Cosgrove Sir, when I went to call her she was with Katie. They were smiling with each other and the little girl looked very happy with her ", Stella said in a heartbeat, sweating in fear."Hmm", Charles nodded as he turned to walk away."Next time if anyone goes near Katie, tell me", he warned, walking away.Stella breathed out a sign of relief, she thought she was going to be fired. Today she was saved from her Boss' wrath.Charles walked into his office, he felt at ease knowing Taylor was the lady Katie was talking about. "But why did she say her name was Kate, wasn't her name Taylor?", Charles wondered, confused.At the Andino mansion.In the n
Friday, 4:30pm.Kate was taking a stroll, wearing a peach crop top with a white denim bum short pairing with black Adidas sneakers, her hair tied into a messy ponytail.She was bored staying home, stopping in front of an amusement park, it wasn't packed but full.As a memory played in her head. "Mum, dad let's go try the ferris wheel", 6 years Kate said, pulling her parents."No no dear, I can't", Nathaniel protested, stopping in his track "Why not daddy?"Kate asked with a sad pout."You know I’m scared of heights", Nathaniel confessed in a whisper."Hmmm, then let's not do that", Kate concluded. "Instead we'll go on the roller coaster", she said excitedly.Nathaniel turned pale in fear, staring at his daughter horrified."C'mon let's go", Kate urged.Tiffany laughed at her husband's misery. Nathaniel was scared to go on any of the rides."Let's go", Kate urged, dragging her dad."No princess, I can't", Nathaniel pleaded."Why not?", Kate demanded."You see dear...."."Dear, your fa
The spy she hired to follow Taylor just informed her she was at the amusement park, with a little girl and a man."Was Taylor married?", Rose thought confused, well she'll just have to go there and find out.Wearing a hoodie over her top and jeans, she left the house, entered her car and zoomed off.It was a 30 mins drive to the amusement park, the amusement park was on a low ground surrounded by a short fence. Rose stepped out of her car, and looked straight ahead. In no time she spotted Taylor laughing all smiles with a little girl, as they laughed at the man beside them who clutched his stomach."That man, she had seen him before", Rose thought, trying to remember where. "Yes at the airport, he had walked out on her and here he was spending time with Taylor", she hissed annoyed."No, she had to ruin Taylor's fun", Rose thought determined with hate in her eyes, headed for the entrance of the park."Are you alright?", Kate asked in between laughs, she had laughed so hard her stomach
Later that night,Rose gritted her teeth in anger pacing around her room, how can Taylor be lucky all the time. "She was meant to fall with the bench but the handsome god just had to save her", she thought annoyed. Rose was the one who told the controller to make the ride fast, seeing how uneasy Taylor was, and had also told a worker to create a huge dent on one of the legs of the bench. So when Taylor sat on it she'll fall, and hurt herself badly. Things were going as planned until she was saved again!. Rose grabbed a vase, smashing it on the floor, breaking into a million of pieces. Saturday, the next dayKate woke up, standing up from her bed she proceeded to the bathroom, washed her face and brushed her teeth. She walked out still feeling sleepy and sat on her bed. Grabbing her phone on the nightstand, turning it on, she was greeted with 7 missed calls from Andrew. Her eyes cleared, as she sat upright
Ryn chuckled weakly, "you know my grandson so well I’m starting to think he might actually be yours". "You need to rest, Ryn," Gabriel said, worried for his friend. "And so are you", Ryn countered back. "I’m fine my friend you don't have to worry", he assured Gabriel but his voice was weak giving him away. "Okay, I'll let her know. Take it easy on the boy". "You know I am", Ryn said in a matter of fact tone. Then a knock was heard on the door."I'll call you back later", Ryn hung up, and looked at the door already knowing who it was. "Morning Grandpa", Charles greeted, walked over to his grandpa who sat on his rocking chair. "If I remember correctly, I sent for you yesterday not today", Ryn said with a displeased look. "Am sorry grandpa, I was busy but am here now", Charles lied smoothly, Ryn scoffed at his grandson's excuse. "Why did you send for me?". "This", Ryn said
Later that night, at Donovan Enterprise.Charles checked the time on his wristwatch, it was 7:20 pm and he had a date at 8pm. He groaned, running his hand through his hair,annoyed. When his secretary walked in."You're still here", Charles said in a flat tone."Yes, I certainly can't leave you alone", Jack said with a stern expression."Yh, right", Charles nodded with a playful smile, one he gave to those who were close to him. "Grandpa would be happy to hear you are taking good care of me".Jack rolled his eyes at his friend teasing, " he would be happier if you took good care of yourself"."I am", Charles said nonchalantly. "That's why you are here to make sure I’m taking good care of myself", he added with a playful wink.Jack rubbed his forehead with a defeated sign making Charles burst out laughing, he stared at Jack with a genuine smile.He and Jack had a really long history together. Jack had been a
"Accept who? back!” Kate thought with an incredulous look. “Yes, he really loves you can’t you see that”, another supported. “Girl, you're lucky to have him as your boyfriend. Just forgive him and get back together already”, “Who said anything about them ever dating?” Kate thought lost for words. Soon the crowd began to chant. “Take him back!”, howling and clapping in excitement. She turned to face Kyle, his arm holding out the bouquet to her already, a pleading look on his face but she didn't miss the mischievous glint in his eyes and slight smirk on his face. He would surely get an oscar for his acting skills, his plan had work. She took the bouquet from him with her free hand, plastering a fake smile on her face. “Fine I forgive you but don't ever do that again”. “Kyle was so desperate to worm his way into Taylor's life, fine. He won't be the same or look at any other woman by the time she is done with him. Taylor will do the one thing Kate couldn't do, “make Kyle fall in
The lush green leaves on trees were starting to turn yellow, it was autumn already. The chilly air of September replaced the cool breeze of spring, light clothes and sandals were replaced with thick woolen coats and boots to protect themselves from the harsh wind. Kate couldn't believe it. She had spent 2 months in City S, a month working at Donovan’s, and it was almost a week since Rose’s and Kyle’s scandal, things had been quiet since then. Charles had been away from the office since the day of the scandal being released. Jack had informed her that his boss had gone out for a very important work and he wasn't sure when he would be back. How could he leave without saying goodbye, she thought angrily when Jack had told her, but with each passing day her anger had only reduced to worry. She had tried calling him, but it only said the same thing over and over again – the number you're trying to dial is not rechargeable. In the meantime, she buried herself in work, things at the And
"___Infact she was the perfect wife in my parents eyes, my dad even loved her more than he loved me, his own son”, he snarled, anger in his tone.Yes, she could imagine. Kyle's parents loved her very much especially Mr Bruce who praised her anytime FastTech Limited had a profit, saying she would make a good wife and also grow their business – the Bruce’s – once she got married to Kyle.“No father would be proud to have an irresponsible son like Kyle who only spent his money on girls and parties, and didn’t take the family business seriously’.“How the hell had she fallen in love with him. Kyle was definitely not her type”. As black dark orbs flashed in her head, she shook her head, “no Kate you can't be thinking about him now”.“I had to get her back for my parents sake and my sake as well. Once my parents find out I was single again they'll make me go on blind dates with their stupid rich friends' daughters. Kate would continue to be my perfect girlfriend, while I go on with my busin
She looked around the floor, rooms were arranged on both the left and right side, separated with tinted glasses, having 2 booths inside each room. She bet whoever was inside could clearly see outside.She entered the first room on the right, directly facing the dance floor as it looked empty, walking over to the booth on the right side, where she could see the dance floor clearly below her.She had just taken 5 steps towards it when she turned to the left, spotting a familiar figure, lying lazily on the cushioned booth, a wine glass in his hand“Not him”. She hissed annoyed, turning to leave, taking hurried steps towards the exit, when he noticed her.“Beauty!?”.“Shit”, Kate cursed under her breath, stopping in her tracks. “She just had to meet Kyle in the same club! She had decided to celebrate her victory against him”. She slowly turned to face him.A grin formed on his face seeing he guessed right. “I knew it was you. What are you doing here, at a club__”, he paused, to take in he
Charles stared at his grandpa. He hadn't wanted to say anything because the others were there but now that they were alone in his grandpa's room, it took all his willpower to stop the foul words that threatened to come out of his mouth.One of them included a big Fuck!!!.“Do you plan on staring at me all day or will you talk?” Ryn asked his grandson, “We can talk about your upcoming wedding if you want, I know it's still months away, but the earlier the better don't you think”.Now the F word was just inches away from slipping out of his mouth before he forced it back.“Why did you do that?” Charles asked, surpassing his anger.“Do what?” Ryn stared at his grandson, feigning ignorance.“Haha! Very funny Grandpa”, he said sarcastically.“Fine you caught your old man”, Ryn said in surrender.“After what she did, you were meant to call off the engagement but you didn't”, Charles stated, saying what everyone had expected Old Man Donovan to do.“What she did was…”, Ryn paused.“Utterly di
Rose couldn't believe it. She replayed Old Man Donovan words in her head. “I'm not calling off the engagement”. If everyone was stunned by the news, she was shell shocked.She was sure the Donovan's were going to call off the engagement, then afterwards Old Man Andino would throw her out of the house. Her happy life would have ended in the blink of an eye but none of that happened. Looks like the universe was on her side.She was currently back in her room at the Andino's mansion. Of course after what happened there was no way she'd go back to Deluxe.Luckily she had already packed her bags with her when she came to the mansion in the morning, so there was no need for her to go back there anyway.She heaved out a sigh of relief allowing herself to fall freely on her bed. “Gawd she missed her bed”.“They're engaged, soon there will be the wedding bells”.“If there's one thing she found out today. It was that Old Man Donovan was her biggest supporter, and with him on her side no one wo
Charles parked his car in his family parking area, stepping out, locking it, while whistling a tune, clearly happy.He couldn't stop thinking about why his grandpa had wanted to see him. “Could it be__ if it was really what was on his mind then he needed to personally thank whoever leaked the news about Rose and that asshole's affair to the media”.“Sir, they are in the inner living room”, a maid informed him, as he got into the house.“They?” He wondered. He nodded at the maid before walking to the inner living room. The room was only used for family meetings and other important family events.His mood turned sour, seeing a familiar dark haired bob present in the living room when he got there, the other family members of the Andino were also present.“You're here”. Old Man Donovan was the first to notice his presence, the others turned to look at him.“Yes grandpa”, he answered before turning to glance at Rose who gave him a weary smile.“Take a seat”, Ryn gestured to the empty sofa
“You did it!” Catherine cheered, as she glanced at Kate.“Yh I did”, Kate grinned.“You've successfully ruined Rose and Kyle's image. You need to see the comments, the netizens are going wild”, Catherine added. “How did you do it anyway?”.“I've got some tricks up my sleeves”, she smirked. “And she might have had some help from Alex”, she didn't say the other part out loud.“Had she probably gone overboard by getting their s*tape”, she thought, sceptic. "Maybe".“I wonder what your family and the Donovan’s will say once they see the post and video”, Catherine said, bringing Kate out of her thoughts.Catherine was right, what would they say? Her mind had completely skipped that part.Now that she thought about it, would her grandpa kick Rose out of the house which meant she won't be part of the family anymore - she hoped not. She still hadn't gotten her revenge on Rose. And the Donovan’s, will they call off the engagement? Charles won't be engaged to Rose anymore.“And then you can hav
Bryan and Stephanie made their way to the garden, not finding Old Man Donovan in his room. A maid informed them she had seen Old Man Donovan in the garden, and there he was sitting on the rocking chair, drinking his favorite green tea.Taking cautious steps towards him, when the old man spoke, stopping them in their tracks.“I know why you're here”. He had been expecting them after all.Both husband and wife glanced at each other, before taking hurried steps towards him. “Father you need to call off the engagement”, Stephanie was the first to speak.“And why's that?” Ryn asked nonchalantly, not bothering to look at them. His gaze focused on the flower field in front of him.“Dad you won't be pleased if I tell you this but…”, Bryan spoke this time.“I've seen the post son”. Ryn confessed, interrupting his son, rather calmly much to their surprise.“And?” Stephanie asked nervously, feeling uneasy about her father-in-law's composure. “Or was it just the calm before the storm”.“Yes__”.
