KATHERINE One whole week had passed and my boss’s attitude towards me remained the same. If anything, it had worsened, his poker face and chilling Aura had increased tremendously. Scary. Once again, I'm back to the old times; forcing myself to put up with the stressful and draining atmosphere while working. I'm now subjected to pressure, while making sure that I do my job carefully and diligently to avoid getting scolded or reprimanded by my sudden strange and angry boss.I sighed, as I leaned back on my chair, letting my mind wander a little. However, the only memory that came flooding my line of vision was one certain day which I won't forget easily. I shuddered, shutting my thoughts immediately. On that very day, I had been so careless and in haste, that I omitted some vital information in the review which I gave to him and he had given me the scold of my life with so much rage. Although I have been getting all the shouting and scolding in abundance from him lately and it
Rock got to the terrified woman and paused as he slowly knelt before her. His lips curled slightly as he threw her a scary smile, frightening her the more. He knew exactly how he looked at the moment and the effect his appearance had on her. She was afraid of him. He couldn't help but wonder why she never considered this moment when she decided to throw her slutty self into another man's arms."Did you ever love me, for once in the past three years? All those times you professed your love to me, those smiles and kisses, those memories. Was anything from you ever real? Was it all an act to keep deceiving me? " He suddenly asked, pain in his voice as he stared curiously at her. "Yes," Rose nodded firmly. "I did love you. Not all the memories were lies," she said, while Rock just chuckled with a shake of his head. Although Rose was trying hard to make her voice sound as believing as possible, she knew that he didn't buy the lies."I'm really sorry," Rose continued to plead. "I real
Jason's mouth was hanging wide open, eyes filled with confusion and horror like he had seen the scariest thing in his entire life. He didn't even shake when he heard a slight knock from the door. Then he was shocked even more when the door was pushed open and it was unexpectedly his brother, Rock. He just blinked, still speechless, as he stared bewilderedly at Rock, who simply walked into the office with his hands in his pockets."What did my wife say to you?" Rock's voice was calm and chilly, as it echoed in the quiet room. Jason swallowed hard, but couldn't say anything. He just stared at his brother like he'd suddenly developed another head. In his head, he was trying to understand what was going on between the couple. They were really scaring him with their weird behavior. "I d-don't know," he slowly stuttered. He really didn't know what to say. He was still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened in his office seconds ago. It was unimaginable
Stepping into one of the most expensive restaurants in town, Jason was led to a private room. Knowing fully well that his brother was waiting for him, he did not hesitate to follow. Before going in, he had to stop and take a deep breath as he inhaled and exhaled, only pushing the door open when he was good to go. He was deeply stressed and concerned about the situation of his brother's marriage. The new development between Rock and Rose was so shocking and unexpected that he didn't know how to take it in. He couldn't believe that they were really getting a divorce, just like that. They were the sweetest couple he had ever known in his life. But it wasn't a joke anymore. Rose had confessed to him about cheating on his brother, shocking him. It was as if a knife was stabbed into his heart when she'd confessed to him and it only took all of his effort to remain calm and not lash out at her. He could only imagine how his brother was feeling at that moment. Of course, he would
The two men were quiet.While Rock was lost in his world, he was enjoying his drink. Jason was still thinking about what he had just heard. But then, he was startled when Rock suddenly leaned forward, staring into his eyes."What?" Jason blinked confusedly. "I was recently told that I would remain lonely all my life, which I don't mind, by the way. You're my brother after all, and I know you wouldn't betray me like the others", Rock suddenly paused, thinking a little before speaking again. "I just want to tell you that you're lucky for making the right choice because I wouldn't hesitate to cut you off if you had attempted to make the wrong decision,"Jason swallowed hard. However, he couldn't help but smile when he heard the last part of Rock's words. Nevertheless, his heart still ached for the man who was silently dying in pain and he wished he could do anything to ease his suffering." Of course, I would never betray you for anything. Even though we don't share the same father, y
It was a lovely breezy Friday evening.As usual, Katherine was bored to death. After having her dinner and speaking to her family over the phone, there was nothing else to do. Her mother's health was improving and this brought joy to her heart. However, she still felt uneasy. Something was eating her up, making her feel restless. Placing her phone on the nightstand, she sat still for a while before grabbing a book. Not wanting to look at the ceiling while losing herself in guilt, she decided to read. Perhaps it will help her to get her mind off some things. She slowly lied down on the bed, as she flipped through the pages. Minutes later.... "ahhhh..." Katherine sighed in frustration, biting her lower lip as she dropped the book on the nightstand. She thought it would help her to calm down, but she was wrong. She reached for her phone, and quietly left the room. Plunging down on the couch, she looked toward Hannah's room and pouted. She could already guess that she would be sleepi
The sight in the room had Katherine gasping in shock. "Sir, what are you doing here?" She asked Jason, while her confused gaze remained fixed on her boss, who was apparently sleeping. From the empty bottles on the table, she could guess the man had been drinking and was probably drunk. 'Just how long will you continue to do this?' she wondered inwardly, feeling pity for her boss. It was no longer a secret that Rock and Rose had divorced. Their story was already in the tabloids, everyone guessing the reason why they'd split. They were the envy of other people. Katherine's heart had broken when she'd read an article where Rock was blamed for the cause of the divorce. She couldn't even read the awful article to the end as she had gotten so angry and stopped reading. She knew it was Rose's handiwork. But Rock didn't seem to give a damn about the internet and their fake news, instead, he was busy focusing on his work, not hesitating to drown himself in alcohol at any slightest chance.
Jason looked worried and unsettled as he sat alone in the high end restaurant. It'd been over thirty minutes since he promptly arrived at the restaurant, but there was no sign of the beautiful lady, Lana, whom he'd spent a fortune just to make this date happen. He sighed impatiently, checking his watch for the umpteenth time. He'd gone there with full expectation, but watching each unbearable second pass with no sign of Lana, he was getting worried and agitated. Sighing once again, Jason decided to open the expensive bottle of Italian wine on the table, as he poured some for himself, gulping it down in order to calm his nerves. The fear of the mysterious lady not showing up was becoming a reality. Not that he was worried about the money he had to spend to get her to agree to go on a date with him. He was more concerned about getting the lady to accept him. As for what he had sacrificed, Lana was a beautiful damsel, she deserved every dime he'd invested in this course and he
