KEIA

I did not have the slightest idea why he was acting this way and for some reason I was made to think that he was possessed overnight. I tried to think of anything that would have made him act this way but nothing came to my mind, but none of it was my fault because she was just acting so strange and it was nothing I had ever experienced before.

One moment he was screaming at me and picking apart my work like it was garbage and the next second, he was asking me out for lunch and smiling at me smugly. God... he had no idea how that smile irritated me so much even though I tried my best to hide it behind my expression. I always did my best to make sure he did not truly see what I felt but I could swear that did not know meant I nearly allowed my emotions to take over me.

Most certainly I would have done something I surely would have regretted it but thankfully, I didn't do anything. I had no idea why he kept acting like some kind of knight in shining armor. It was so confusing and

    KEIAI was already feeling so bad before I went into work because the day had started out terribly and I was not in the mood for anybody's nonsense at all because of what had happened the night before. Even till morning, I will still unable to snap out of the anger that had taken hold of me because of the things he had done. I was so angry about his childish behavior and the fact that I did not get enough sleep was not even helping matters at all. The moment I stepped my feet into the company building, I could already feel the tension bubbling under the surface and I hoped there was nobody who was going to make it worse for me, somebody who was going to make the tension that I was trying to hold in to explode. I just hoped that was going to be the case because I would not hold back if anything like that happened. I was tired of not telling people to go to hell with their taunts and not putting them in their place. I was making my way to my desk when one of my colleagues decided that

    KEIAI did not need a seer to tell me that I had annoyed her when I finished work that evening. I had gone to her office in the afternoon so we could get lunch but she was fast asleep and I did not want to make her anger any worse. And when I finished work late that evening, I expected to go back home with her but she was already out of her office and nowhere around when I got down. I knew what was going on and it was all my fault. I had been too hard on her late today and if anything, I had to apologize. That was because she did not deserve the way I had acted, not one one it. She was doing all she could to avoid me and as much as I hated it, I knew I deserved it. Before heading home, I stopped by a gift store but as soon as I got out of the car, I was confused because I did not know what she liked so I bought a little bit of everything. I got a bouquet of fresh Roses, a box of her favorite chocolate and even a small plush Teddy that seemed childish for sure but then I thought she m

    Theodore:The cold evening breeze kissed my skin and I gently inhaled. It had been so fucking long since I had experienced this.The evening view was magnificent. The darkened sky and the twinkling stars, the cool breeze and the sight of the amber lights of the street lamps.Five years felt like forever and I felt tears pricking my eyes at the sight and feeling of freedom. I made a mental note to thank Pedro, the lawyer that had handled my case, for being able to negotiate my sentence and gain me my freedom.I had expected to see my husband's car and when I didn't see his familiar red Porsche, the pang of disappointment that weighed on my heart had my hands quivering but it didn't quell the happiness inside me. Perhaps Fred had gotten so busy that he had forgotten to pick me up. After all, it was his lawyer that had gotten me free from the shackles of hell.I dug into my purse and fished out my phone, groaning in frustration because my phone was dead. Sighing, I took off the stilettos

    A week since I started my job hunt and seven companies down, all I had to show for it were rejection emails and a stack of coffee cups. It was beginning to become frustrating because their reason for not accepting me was the fact that I have been to prison.“Urgh!” I banged my head on the table as I just finished reading yet another rejection email and it said basically the same thing as the others but in different words.Life had been rather difficult for me since I had moved out of Fred's place on a whim and dropped an impromptu arrival at my beloved best-friend's place. Serena had been rather welcoming despite the surprise etched on her face, I figured the broken look on my face had told her everything without me having to speak.Serena has been by my side, encouraging me to keep pushing and I did. I was grateful to her because she has been nothing but my support since my messy divorce with Fred. She had connected me with a lawyer who was willing to prepare the divorce papers and p

    I woke up to a terrible headache that threatened to blow my brain off. My hands flew to my head, afraid that it might fall off if I moved too much. I hissed at the aches that attacked my body as I tried to move, freezing at the spot at the restriction around my waist.I gulped with a racing heart and looked down. My heart lept out of my chest the moment I was met with the sight of a man with his arm around my waist. He had long curly black hair that was sitting in wild messy waves and long lashes that framed his lids. My breaths were knocked out of my chest when I leaned closer to get a better view of his face.He had high cheekbones and a pointed nose that led to slightly thick pale red lips. His thick brows held a natural arch. I could only stare in awe and surprise. How could such a handsome creature exist? He looked adorable as he slept, with his hair grazing his cheeks. I was tempted to reach down and tuck away the invasive strands but withheld myself. Something about him struck

    KEIAI was a throbbing mess of excitement and nerves when I walked through the glass office doors. I'd landed the job even though a lot of people still asked why. From the foregoing, almost everyone had a relative and friend they wanted in this position. That was why they kept whispering and glancing at me when I was walking through the hallways. I had no idea what they were saying, but I knew for a fact that rumours were already going about. Letting out a heavy sigh, I gently closed the door behind me, murmuring under my breath while clutching the bag tightly. "Here goes nothing."I headed to my desk, and began to vet everything in order so I could start work. It all felt strange, sitting in a new environment and trying to settle in. I was prepared to take on it while hoping that this Job was going to help bring me some stability, and the revenge on Artemis after everything he had done to me. My heart twisted with a pang of hatred each time the thoughts sauntered back into my head. I

    KEIAThe urge to say no to him was almost overpowering, but then I was struck by the thought. I remembered instantly why I was here, why I was doing this job. If this was going to work out, I needed him. Getting close to Sawyer was not just a job perk but it was also a vital part of my plan to make sure I got back to Artemis so I could show him that I wasn't the kind of person he could just use and throw away.He was going to learn this the hard way, and I would be there to look him in the face once everything began planting out for me. Taking a deep breath, I forced out a smile and nodded."Alright. Thank you so much. I'll take the ride." I climbed into the car before settling in the posh seat. He stayed silent, and kept staring ahead at the road. He didn't talk to me, unless. He was quiet most of the time, and that had me wondering why he had offered me the ride in the first place.I realised another problem as the drive went on. If we both stayed quiet this way, then there was no w

    KEIAI did not stop watching his car until it finally disappeared around the corner. I was very confused about what he had just told me and no matter how much I tried to push the word out of my mind, it only kept coming back. It was impossible. "Welcome back." Why did you tell me that? What do you mean? Was it just a polite gesture or was he just for the years that I had lost? I thought about talking to him about it tomorrow when I would go to work but he really spoke to me so I knew he wouldn't even say a single word in a response.Thinking about it made me so angry for a moment but I finally forced myself to calm down because you're could be many explanations. There was a possibility it did not mean anything and even if it meant something, I was not going to let his words get to me in any way because right now, I had bigger things to worry about and not two words that probably meant nothing.After all, the reason I was here was not to win him over but to get back at his step brother

    SAWYER I had no idea why I was acting all bossy all of a sudden. I found it very hard to admit it, even to myself but I had been very much aware of it all day and it worried me. I was only worried about it because it was unlike me. However, it had only begun when I heard Keia talking with her friend. Their discussion wasn't just about anything. It was about her saying that she was going to use me as bait for Artemis. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear from someone like her and it made me question everything I knew about her. It made me question if she was the same person that I had always known, if everything she had been doing so far was just a way of getting closer to me and getting what she wanted. Heard that had stung in a way I didn't expect. And despite the fact that I didn't like my brother and everything he had done to her and to me, I still didn't fancy what she was trying to do. Nobody would fancy being used. The idea of being used by her was just so hurtful.

    KEIAI wasn't happy about moving in with him, not in the slightest. And that was because of the circumstances that had brought about the situation. I wished the circumstances had been better and none of this had to happen like this. In fact, I hated it. The thought alone mare mare chest tighten every now and then and I'd find myself hoping for things that would never happen, things like turning back the hands of time and doing something about the subtle fuck ups that had compounded to this terrible moment. I remembered what my friend said when I came home yesterday from work and told her everything. I needed to trust myself, and I was happy that she at least saw and said I was moving in the right direction. There was no bigger motivation than that, bit anyways, this was just jeering. The change was just so sudden and so big I'd find it hard keeping up. I didn't have any other choice however. And there wasn't a doubt that my pride, now, was bruised and it hurt even more to know that I

    KEIAMy mind was racing with so much disbelief and anger when I stormed out of his office, trying to comprehend and assimilate what he had just told me. How the hell could he suggest something so ridiculous? I mean did he even get to hear himself before saying that to me? Live with him? Stay in his house because I was late a few times? It made no sense at all. It felt like a punishment, call it a personal invasion that I couldn't accept. Something had to be done about that. Clenching my my as I walked back to the desk, It was hard seeing the other employees who I passed by on the way back there. But I noticed how they all stared and how some of them whispered to themselves. Of course they were watching. They always watched to know what I was doing so they could judge me and make Sawyer second guess this decision of making me his secretary. It was just so annoying being in the presence of this kind of people but this was the only shot I had at making sure he got what he deserved for e

    SAWYERI was already in a bad mood when I walked into the office that morning. Closing the door behind me, I rolled up my sleeves to check my watch. It was already 9:00 am and Keia wasn't here yet. Oh Lord, I ran a hand through my hair as another heavy sigh left me, all in an attempt to keep my anger in check. The last thing I wanted to do was to vent my spleen on anybody right now. I just wanted to make sure I got through with work and go back home without stirring up any drama, especially because of Keia.This was becoming a pattern, and there was no way I was going to ignore her anymore despite whatever reasons she might have. I needed to say something to her but I didn't want to give away my mysterious nature soon, even though what happened at the bar had done a bad deal of it already. Thirty minutes later, I couldn't control myself anymore. The anger was rising and it wasn't wasn't before I was pacing up and down the office floor like some kind of caged beast. Where the hell was

    SAWYERWhen I got to work that morning, I couldn't bring myself to face her. Thinking about it alone made my stomach churn, and this was not because I'd never been drunk before. I had been drunk before, on several occasions even but this time around it was different. It was Keia, her.She had seen me at my worst for the second time and the shame was just unbearable. I wondered what she thought of me, how she was going to see me now that she had seen that part of me. Would she think that her boss was a drunkard who couldn't even control himself? The thoughts kept coming and piling up. The image replayed in my head like a bad movie, over and over again.And I hated it. All of it. Because of that, I stayed home and told myself that I couldn't deal with work today, I could not just deal with her. But everything changed when that email came in. That was the proposal that I'd been waiting for this whole time. Work always found a way to pull me back, and even worse in a situation like this w

I couldn't help the tiny sliver of relief that ran through me as I pressed ny my against the the and placed a palm on my chest as I took in a deep breath. There was nothing better than this, especially after the odds had been stacked against me all morning- first it was waking up late and then meeting the heavy traffic outside.I couldn't imagine how awful I would have felt if I came in here only to see that he was at work already. This meant a lot of things and one of them was that I had a little more time to prepare myself. Grabbing my bag, I quickly stuffed my papers inside it and made my way out of the office before hurrying downstairs. I didn't want to keep him waiting.I needed to make sure that he didn't have any suspicions that I'd been late today. Even though he had said nothing about it this whole time, I was doing my best to make sure he avoided saying that because it wou
