“Mr Grey, I am glad your company won my heart”

“Thank you, Mr Winter, I appreciate this”, Adrian said enthusiastically.

“Don't thank me, Sydney insisted you deserve it”

Adrian scoffed inwardly while trying to maintain the pleasant look in his eyes. Sydney has been true to her word, obviously, which made Adrian more sceptical about it all.

Every fibre in his body wishes to warn Mr Winter of the impending danger he is in, but he has people worth protecting. Sitting by Caleb's bedside, watching him sleep peacefully the previous night had given him more reasons to tread carefully.

“I have to leave now; I have a flight to catch; Sydney will stay back and handle the rest”.

Adrian shook Mr Winter's outstretched hand. But his mind kept throbbing endlessly on the fact that Sydney had played her cards right. She had totally fooled her adopted father to the brink.

“It was nice having you around Mr Winter, I will be sure to come to visit when I come over to your country for vacation”

    “Diane! What are you doing here?”Adrian's eyes scanned their surroundings; he wondered how easily penetrative the security of his company was to allow such a wench like Diane in without questioning.“Let us talk in my office”.The two women stared intently at each other, pure hatred dispensed in their lingering gazes. Adrian had learnt the hard way that Rissa was the type to return energies confidently.“Rissa, Miss Donaldson, let us talk in my office”.Adrian said again; this time around, he made his voice more firm and authoritative. To his relief, both women followed without questioning, although they kept their gazes on each other.Diane broke their contact when she walked into Adrian Grey’s gigantic office.

    Diane staggered backwards for a second, and so did Rissa, whose eyeballs got bigger. It was now confirmed that they were truly being watched. The satisfactory look on Sydney's face made Diane really uncomfortable.Had she become a target herself?“We were just talking”, she managed to say after swallowing a lump of saliva.“Really!”Sydney's hand rested on her shoulder and her grip tightened. Diane winced from the pain and she held her lips tightly together in a bid not to yell.Rissa opened her mouth several times but no sound came out. She didn't know how to handle the situation as she couldn't unhear what she had heard from Diane and Sydney's presence just confirmed it all.Adrian rushed up to them, he was panting heavily like he had run all the way from his office.“Sydney, let… them… be, let us talk”, he said between ragged breaths.Sydney looked over at him and she smiled devishly. Her well-manicured fingernails patted Adrian's back, but not even Rissa was bold enough to utter d

    Rissa made her way to the gigantic bed of the hotel suite that her husband, Liam had rented for the whole week.A few minutes later, she felt a hand caressing her body in her dark room; she smiled inwardly as she called out to him seductively, “Babe" he kept touching her, and it felt good; Rissa dragged his face to hers, and their lips met.He kissed her hungrily, and she couldn't help but smile at how good it felt; she felt his hand move upward to her nipples as he sucked them lovingly, making her wet in her core even though she felt dizzy.She felt his hardness bulging out against her stomach; it felt good, and her nostrils were filled with the tantalizing aroma of his exquisite Cologne." I love you, babe”, she whispered into his ears, but he didn't respond with words; instead, he pushed into her wetness, and their bodies moved in sync.Rissa felt pleasure, but she felt too weak; her eyelids were too heavy to open; she tried to look into his charming eyes, but in her sleep-wake, s

    Diane punched the remote control angrily switching off the television as the unfortunate news of Rissa's tragedy was displayed. She rummaged her well-polished fingernails in her hair and bit her quavering lips " It is all over the internet, Rissa”, she said sardonically and sank back on the sofa beside her best friend. Fresh tears streamed out from Rissa's pale face; she had to disguise herself hideously to exit the hotel, where she was apprehended by her husband. " This is the worst that could happen! I have no idea how on earth the reporters captured you in that blanket" Diane screamed in frustration " I…I ran after Liam to stop him," Rissa responded dejectedly, feeling foolish for putting herself in a trap as she did. Diane hugged her lovingly “It is okay baby girl, we will get through this together" Diane consoled her but Rissa disentangled herself from her arms " Be realistic Diane! there is no getting out of it; I just lost my marriage, I lost my job, I lost the man I l

    Diane adjusted her bra straps as she hastily got up to get dressed; she looked at Liam's charming face, even in his sleep.She felt the trickling ache between her legs and smiled satisfactorily to herself. She had finally made love to Liam as she had always desired, and it felt good.Liam adjusted on the bed as his body kept signalling his usual waking hour, but his pounding head protested he stayed longer in bed.In his subconscious, he debated whether it was all a bad dream or his imagination that he just had sex." You are awake”, he heard Diane's voice clearly in his head, but he couldn't bring himself to believe it.He opened his left eye gently and closed it again as Diane's boldface met his.She sensed his uneasiness and drew back. Liam felt silly for his childishness, and he summoned the courage to face heads on whatever might have transpired between them.He opened his eyes widely and sat up on the gigantic bed; he looked over at Diane, who was batting her long lashes with a

    Diane's heart thumped loudly in her chest as she got to Liam's secretary's table, a pretentiously pleasant woman who hated every stunning lady except herself. " Hello, Mrs Evelyn, is Li... the boss in?” she asked with a pleasant smile plastered on her face "Miss Donaldson, how are you today?" Evelyn responded warmly. "Very well, thank you”, Diane responded impatiently. "Do you have a prior appointment with him?" She asked. " I do?" Diane said, faking a painstaking emotion,” But it wasn't timed. I just need to see him urgently as he requested my presence, and I decided to see him over the lunch break," she added pleasantly despite feeling the opposite. " Okay, Miss Donaldson, I know we both work here, but I am sorry, I still need to follow the proper procedures. Give me a minute. Let me put a call through to him", Evelyn responded politely. " All fine, I will wait" She turned and eyed Evelyn maliciously; one day, she will see to her sack, she promised herself. Evelyn made her sh

    Rissa closed her eyes dejectedly, she opened them again to be met with two glaring red lines on the test strip.She held the pregnancy strip with one hand and covered her agape mouth with the other, holding back her tearsShe had just had the worst three weeks of her life, and now, to cap it, she was expecting a stranger's baby." Rissa I am home!" Diane called out from the sitting room, Rissa's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly threw the test strip down the drain of the water closet and flushed it out completely.She hastily dabbed her teary eyes with cold water and dried it on the face towel “Toilet time, baby girl”, she responded, keeping her voice steady to avoid giving herself away.She adjusted her clothes and came out of the toilet smiling pleasantly at Diane " I can bet ten dollars you just had another great night" Rissa smiled pleasantly " You won the bet baby girl" Diane said smiling happily “Last night was great! The date and shopping Oh my God! I had so much fun" she

    “If you keep staring at me like that, the steak will get burnt”, Sydney said nonchalantly.“Oh!” Adrian hastily reduced the heat of the grill and started dicing the steak.“You are not as dumb as the record suggests; I guess you figured it out already; you are different from Edward, your father”.“Is Mr Winter in on this too?” Adrian questioned suspiciously; at that point, he knew showing the fear in his heart would be a great weakness. He had to move along with the flow to save everyone he loved.“Mr Winter is my adopted father. I found my birth father a few years ago, and with this case, I have to prove to him that I am worth carrying his bloodline”, She picked up a fork and grabbed two diced steaks; she munched on them, savouring the taste.“What if he is using you?” Adrian questioned challengingly. Sydney laughed hysterically. “You care about me now? Do you think I am dumb enough not to have considered that? Well, I have proved useful too many times to be discarded”.“Okay, good l

    Adrian outstretched his hand towards Rissa offering her a sparkling clean handkerchief. Her inaction towards collecting it made him draw her into his embrace.“Let us be positive, the doctor assured us that he will be fine”.Adrian's soothing words didn't do much to help Rissa's darkened countenance. Her mind is focused on tearing Mr George and his accomplices into shreds.She hadn't imagined Caleb and her son becoming a victim of their cruelty; she had felt sympathetic towards other victims from the onset, but now the pain runs deeper.Adrian took the television remote and increased the volume hastily, he watched Caleb's face as he slept peacefully. His fatherhood bond tugged at his subconscious mind telling him to make sure the perpetrators pay.They were still focused on the drinks before it was unknown to them that the candies had been copied too.“What! One of the victims died already”, Rissa said jolting out of her sorrowful state. She looked over at Caleb praying desperately fo

    “Mr Grey, you have a package”, Mandy said, handing it over to him.“Who would send a package here for you, aren't you supposed to get them at the mansion?”. Rissa said, handing him a fork. He picked an apple slice and munched on it.“Beats me”, he said nonchalantly while opening the package.A note fell off it and Rissa picked it up.“From your number one fan, I hope you like it, Mr Grey”. She read out.Adrian could feel the heat radiating from Rissa's eyes as she clutched the note tightly as if she were ready to punch its sender in the face.Adrian smiled inwardly; for some reason, this jealous girlfriend version of her intrigues him a lot; he hid his desire to rub it in her face as he knew she would draw back.The package came off, and sunscreen was seen as a gift. They exchanged confused glances and it hit Rissa. She turned the note in her hand to the back.“Seeing how smooth your skin is as a porcelain jar, use this to prevent any blemishes that might try to ruin it”.“Sydney!” Ri

    “We have another problem, Mr Grey,” she said hastily, her side glance thrown in Rissa's direction.“What is it?” Adrian questioned suspiciously, hiding his agitation; what else is about to go wrong? Mr George was just apprehended now just when he had his first breath of fresh air in hours, another problem has surfaced already.“That …that…”, she started.“Stop stammering already; we are all adults”, he said, referring to her walking up to his romantic moment with Rissa; after all, their relationship is public already.“I am sorry, Mr Winter just showed up unannounced”, she said at last.Adrian jumped up instantly with widened eyes, Rissa felt uncomfortable standing there watching them cluelessly.“Who is Mr Winter?” She questioned suspiciously.“A moneybag who could elevate the company but is very vicious and picky before investing, this impromptu visit puts us at a disadvantage”, Adrian rambled on feeling dejected.“Mr Grey, I think you should come now, we cannot keep him waiting and

He was an adult now, such delusion could never solve his problems.But Alas! One has shown up all dressed stunningly turning all heads. He was tempted to rush out of his office as he stared intently at the CCTV footage where Rissa was surrounded by multiple paparazzi.She looked too confident to be calling whatever she was saying a bluff. Was her unexpected presence a solution or going to escalate the problems further?Whatever she was trying to do, he wasn't sure it would be effective except for her stunning look, which obviously had the best effect already.“Mr Grey, Miss Stonebridge has found us a solution”His secretary's words jolted him out of his depressed state. He didn't care about being classy and rushed down the stairs to the front door of Perchy Peach where Rissa was being interviewed.“As I had said earlier, those are the differences, check it o
