Alexander Reins “What's that for?” My eyes darkened with my eyebrows tightly furrowed as I glared at the woman sitting at the opposite side of my car, her red lipstick was vibrantly painting her lips just as i used to like them, heart diamond earrings were in place and her ever shining blond hair was still there, she looked immaculate but there was nothing perfect about this moment. “You think it’s uncalled for?” She shot back, raising her eyebrows, “That woman was practically shoving her cleavage in your face, and you expect me to just walk away?” “She was delivering documents, Zoey.” I said exasperatedly, sighing with frustration. “Delivering a document in a skirt that barely covered her knees? Come on Alex, I'm no fool!” “So you think pouring a hot coffee on my secretary who's happily married with a kid was justified?” my patience snapped as I slammed my foot on the break, screeching the car to an abrupt stop, “What is wrong with you Zoey, can you stop acting like a jeal

Sophia De Santos I stopped on my steps seeing the black car parked on front of the skating center, this isn't here when I had went inside, and the surprising part wasn't due to the fact that it wasn't here before, but the fact that it looked familiar, but even though it does, I must be overthinking things thinking this belonged to that man, given that I'd ran far enough for him to locate me, he wouldn't ever tried it anyway. Not that I cared anyway.“You're going already?” he raised his eyebrows and mumbled, “Thought you'll be staying longer though.” I looked up to the security guard who'd allowed me an entrance earlier.“Mmn.. yeah, I won't be staying longer, I have some things to attend to. And thank you for letting me in.” I replied smiling slightly.“It's okay ma'am, have a nice day.” I bobbed my head up and down and made for the road walking past the car which took that moment to open and a woman stepped out of it. I guessed right, the car wasn't Alexander's.I hailed a cab ba

Leonardo Marquez “You have a date with Miss Hayes today boss.” Said max as I'm about to get into the car. I turned back swiftly and shot him a glare, “Cancel it, I'll not be available.” I said, finally entering the car and shutting the door, he turned to the other side and opened the door sitting beside me. The driver will be taking us back today. After the dealings with the FG corps, I'm beyond exhausted. I never knew Mr Smith would decide to withdraw their proposed collaboration from my company at the very last moment. “Then what about dinner with Miss Annabelle tonight?” “Cancel it,” I muttered, leaning my head against the car seat. “But… Mrs. Marquez specifically arranged this one for you.” “And you're just now bringing this up?” I snapped, opening my eyes to glare at him.

Sophia De Santos I left the hospital feeling like my soul had flown out of my body after seeing Ryan in the incubator, his small eyes tightly shut together, his small body curled up in the glass, he looked so fragile, so sickly it's killing me, If only I hadn't met Alexander, he wouldn't be here suffering because of me. No it wasn't Alexander's fault, it was no one's fault but mine contrary that if only I hadn't hoped and waited for him that night, maybe, just maybe I would have him healthy. He wouldn't have to suffer any bit of this because of me. My shift that morning was in a grocery store. I was responsible for unloading the materials from the truck. I had begged the store owner before she allowed me to do it because she'd insisted it was no work for a woman. Even though both my mental and emotional state required me to do all but work this morning, but my financial state says otherwise. I covered the rest of my shifts till evening, before heading to the last one for th

Sophia De SantosWhat the heck have I just done? I stood frozen, staring at the empty road where Mr. Marquez’s car had just disappeared into the night, the sound of his engine fading into silence. Although the cold air bit at my skin, it couldn’t compare to the chill in my chest, knowing I’d just agreed to something that could change everything. Something I wasn’t even sure I fully understood. Considering the facts that I'd promised myself to Ryan. My life was supposed to be dedicated to him, a single parent, focused solely on my child, the only treasure life had given me. But now, I’d said yes to the contract meaning I'm entangling myself in several thick webs. Earlier inside the car, his reaction had caught me off guard, almost as much as my own decision. His eyes had narrowed so much that I could tell he hadn't expected it, “You’re serious?” he asked, killing the engine as he turned to face me with his eyes searching, as if waiting for me to retract my words. However , n

Sophia De Santos “What is it?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “Concerning your skating career,” he began, leaning back. “I’ve been thinking about you working with A&D as my wife and a skater. I don’t want things getting complicated at least for you since the public usually has an opinion or another so you’ll start training as soon as possible. That means dropping everything else. And of course, you won’t be signing with my agency, but a friend’s. He’s in town now and wants to interview and test you to know what you're capable of.” I froze, the pen hovering over the paper. What exactly had I just agreed to? Not only do I have to hide my son's existence in the eyes of the public, I also have to drop everything that serves as a means of sustainability. “Can I not…?” “No, miss Sophia, I will be looking forward to seeing you on the weekend.” He said with a little smile. “What for?” I raised my eyebrows. I almost thought he looked so handsome until he began to speak. “Regist

Sophia De Santos I spotted Mr He Bai, sitting near the window of the restaurant. Even though I had stayed late at the clubhouse last night, I made sure to get up early and prepare because I wouldn’t risk being late. I'm among the people whose first impression matters a lot to.Taking a deep breath, I walked over to his table, my steps steady despite the nerves in my stomach. I pulled out the chair across from him and sat down, offering a polite smile. “Good morning, Mr He Bai,” I greeted, keeping my voice calm and respectful. “Miss Sophia, if I'm not mistaken?” He raised his eyebrows with a little smile on his lips.“Yes sir.” I answered with a nod, clutching the bag sitting on my lap closer to my chest. I had expected a young man when Mr Marquez said I'll be meeting his friend, so I didn't expect him to be a middle aged man whose eyes squint at the corners whenever he smiles. “Umm sir, I was…” “You don't have to explain much daughter, I saw the video and of course, it was such

Alexander Reins “Come on Zoey, we're going to a restaurant in this resort, not a night party.” I groaned, closing the newspaper and placed it on a cupboard, as I glanced at my wristwatch. “I have to look good, waiting for just a few more minutes is not going to do any harm. You've been doing it all along anyway, moreover, I've got to do this eyeshadow right.” She rambled from the inside and I huffed in response, leaning back against the chair, We could've just had dinner in our room, just as we've been doing since we came here. However, she insisted on going to the restaurant to have a meal for a reason best known to her, and she has been sitting before the dressing table for over an hour, smearing God's knows what on her face. I can't say I'm starting to regret agreeing to this holiday, it was all her idea to begin with. In contrast to the fact that she always has her way, whether I like it or not.“Why are you all shouting?” She rolled her eyes, grabbing her pause on the table a

Leonardo Marquez “Apparently, Miss Sophia's ex husband, Alexander and his current wife Zoey were in the same resort where miss Sophia is meeting Mr He Bai as I speak.” Max whispered in my ear in the conference room making my eyes widened in surprise.Why is he just telling me this? A frown like a storm covered my face as I motioned to my secretary, “I won't be available till the end of this presentation, see to the end of this and take note of the promising ones. I'll review them tomorrow.” I announced standing up and excused myself from the room.As soon as I got to the garage, Max tried to enter into the driver's seat but I ushered him back after asking for the resort information.I zoomed there so as to prevent Sophia from meeting with that asshole, after all, it'll be traumatizing for her to meet with the man who ruined her,Those types of encounters were not meant to happen, at least not now that she's yet to get to her feet. But who could have thought I wouldn't be entering th

Sophia De Santos My heart skipped a beat when I saw them, Meeting them is inevitable, I know that. But I just hadn't expected it to be so soon, not when I've done all within my power to make sure it never happened. Seeing Alexander again invoked something within me, and that's Anger… and another word, ‘distate’ hatred so deep I could sink my teeth in him where he stood. If not for him, I wouldn't have turned a mess, get myself involved in a marriage of convenience, Neither will Ryan be in the incubator, he would've been healthy. And to see the man responsible for it with his snake, her eyes withholding that same prejudice and mockery she has in them that night. I hold my bag firmly in my hand, my hand clenching hard against the handle as though it's going to be ripped off. Then I walked past him out of the restaurant, even though I could feel his burning gaze on me, but damn him, I don't give any shits about his stare, or the fact that in his eyes was a glimpse of the man
