BACK AT DONOVAN CAR ENTERPRISE,

“The end”. The slide stopped playing, and the room became bright once again. Kate took the seat at the end of the table, opposite Charles.

“Excellent”, thought the heads of departments, as they all had approving smiles on their faces.

“What do you think Mr Donovan?” Kate asked, turning to Charles. Since she had started the presentation, he hadn't said a word, just occasional nods.

“Wasn't he satisfied with her design?” she thought, getting nervous. Everyone else turned to Charles, patiently waiting for him to speak.

Charles relaxed in the chair. “I must say Miss Cosgrove, I'm impressed”.

Kate felt butterflies in her tummy from Charles' praise as a proud smile formed on her face but soon turned to a frown hearing his next word.

“But…”.

“He just had to add a but…”, she grumbled, in a low tone.

“But what Mr Donovan?” Kate asked, trying to maintain a calm expression.

“The cost and materials to make the car…..”, Charles pointed out in his

    At Jade resort, “Don't tell me you're still annoyed at my cousin because of what he did”, Gracie said, laughing. Kate rolled her eyes at Gracie, crossing her arms over her chest. Charles had canceled her date with Kyle for the day, not allowing her to speak before dragging her away. Yeah! she didn't like going on dates with Kyle, but she certainly didn't need Charles' help to deal with Kyle either. “D*ckhead”, she muttered, as eyes searched for him in the room and they found him, sitting lazily, away from everyone else, a tumbler in his hand, casually swirling it. The sleeves of his shirt rolled to his elbow, showing off his muscular arms, his hair slightly disheveled with some strands at the side. His chest hair could be seen due to the first three buttons of his shirt left undone. He had a carefree aura around him, sexy and yet powerful. “My cousin is hot, isn't he? A fine species of men”, Gracie whispered in Kate's ear. Kate turned red in embarrassment, caught red-handed by

    “Where are we going?” Kate mumbled, as they got into the elevator. Charles pressed the button to the underground parking lot where his car was parked. “Home”, He answered, sternly, as he watched Kate nod before nestling her head on his shoulder. The ride down was quiet, as none of them spoke. Until Kate started humming a tune while stroking the side of his neck. “Stop”, Charles groaned in a warning tone. Her humming didn't annoy him. It was her touch leaving a trail of fire on his skin, making him more hard than he already was."He needed to get her home fast". The elevator came to a stop. He walked over to his car. Opening the front passenger door, placing Kate in carefully. “Lie down”, he instructed, strapping her in before walking over to the driver's seat, buckling his own seat belt. “I missed you….”, he heard her say. Charles halted what he was doing, turning to Kate, her big sapphire eyes already staring at him. “I missed you”, Kate repeated, longing in her tone. “I w

    Kate watched Charles walk towards her, crouching to her level. “Better?” He asked, concerned, stroking her back gently. Kate nodded weakly in response. “She shouldn't have drank so much wine”, she hissed, rubbing her forehead, feeling a headache. “C'mon let's get you sober”, Charles spoke softly, a teasing smile on his face. Kate nodded, allowing Charles to pick her up bridal style out of the bathroom. She didn't have the energy to protest anyway. He placed her gently on the bed in a sitting manner, placing the duvet over her legs, then gave her a glass of water from the night stand. “Thank you”, Kate muttered, handing Charles the cup back. “What time is it?” she asked, her voice coming out as a whisper. “It's 11 in the morning”, Charles answered. “The next day already! ”, Kate thought, shocked. “Work!?”. Charles could already guess what she was thinking, seeing the expression on her face. “Focus on resting today. Come to work tomorrow, okay”. “And you? Aren't

    Charles gently nudged Kate to lie down, without breaking their kiss, his upper body hovered above hers. He moved his mouth to her neck, sucking on it. He heard her whimper, causing his cock to jerk in his pants, straining against the zipper. Charles groaned before capturing her lips in his again. His hand went under the duvet, finding its way between her legs. He rubbed on her inner thighs. Kate moaned, clamping her thighs on his hand. She heard Charles chuckle, before forcing her legs open again, teasing her. She arched her back towards him, wanting his hand to go deeper. Charles couldn't help grinning, his mouth trailing kisses down her neck, as his hand went deeper, brushing the wetness soaking her underwear. She moaned underneath him, her toes curling in delight, digging her fingernails into his back. “She was wet for him”. “Charles”, Kate moaned breathlessly, moving her hand down his chest, stopping at the band of his pants, when she suddenly felt her hands pinned

    “For you”. Charles handed her the plastic bag. “Thank you”, Kate nodded, collecting it. Charles wrapped his arm around Kate's waist, pulling her in for a kiss. “Make sure to take the medicine and eat afterwards”. “I will”, she nodded, blushing. “See you tomorrow darling”. Kate watched Charles walk down the stairs to a Ferrari Roma where Jack stood, before closing the door. She placed her hand on her chest, feeling the fast drumming of her heart, threatening to burst out of its cage. She checked the contents in the bag, a tint of pink appearing on her cheeks, taking small steps towards the kitchen. “Looks like someone has been shot by cupid's arrow”. Kate turned to Catherine, who sat on one of the kitchen islands, munching an apple - the second one, momentarily forgetting she was here too. “No I'm not”, Kate denied, vehemently. “Yh right”, Catherine grinned, making a heart sign with her hand. Kate rolled her eyes, placing the plastic bag on the kitchen counter

    “Did you find out what you needed?” Jack asked his Boss, as Charles walked out of Rose's office. Charles shook his head disappointed, heading to the elevator, with Jack following closely behind. “Taylor mentioned Rose having something to do with her past, but Rose clearly had no idea who Taylor was. What was he missing?”. The elevator came to a stop at the reception floor, as the doors slid open revealing a familiar face, waiting outside. Charles stepped out of the elevator not breaking eye contact with the person. “Mr Donovan”. “Mr Bruce”. Charles eyed Kyle, who gave him a smug smile. “I see you came to visit your ‘fiancée’ ”, Kyle said, stressing on the last word, reminding Charles he was engaged. “No wonder Rose was in a bad mood when she had called a few minutes ago”. Charles' eyes turned dark, maintaining a calm expression. “Stay away from Taylor. She will be mine and just focus on making your fiancée happy before someone else does”, Kyle grinned, before turning to the

    “Rose doesn't have the connection to get the list of owners by Monday. It will take at least 5 business days before she gets them”, Kate explained. “And I'm guessing Rose found the earring on either Wednesday or the Thursday you had seen it. So we've still got time to execute our plan”. She turned to Catherine with an affirmative look. “Leave it all to me”. “Good”, Kate nodded. “Now get out of my car”. “Hey! No kiss goodbye”. Catherine crossed her arms, pouting. Kate gave her an are you serious look, arching her eyebrow. “C'mon I was just joking”, Catherine smiled sheepishly, getting out of the car, grabbing her handbag. Kate watched her walk into the building, a worried expression on her face. “Oh God please take care of Catherine”, she prayed. She trusted Catherine and her capabilities, but was scared of what Rose would do to her, if she got caught. Kate let out a sign, about making a U-turn to leave, when she heard a knock on her car window. “Grandpa”, she uttered surpri

    Kate stared at Charles, lying weakly on his bed, looking pale. They were at Jade's resort at Charles' penthouse, as the latter had refused vehemently to go to the hospital, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him. Kate shook her head, “for someone ill, he knew how to put up a fight”. With Jack's help, they brought him to the penthouse, while the latter had left to get Charles' doctor. Kate walked over to sit by his side, taking his hand in hers. It was the first time she saw Charles weak and vulnerable. It made her scared. “Was he gonna be alright?” She thought, forcing back tears. The thought of Charles' condition getting worse made her sick to her stomach. “It was her fault”, Kate muttered, her head hung low, staring at their hands. “Don't be silly. I'm human, and I get sick too”. Kate raised her head to see Charles wide-eyed, “You're awake”. “I had to, cause it seemed someone thought I was dead already”, he groaned. Kate helped him sit up, she chuckled, sniffli

    “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
