THE HEAT BETWEEN US Trouble With Office Bullies!
"Let the new personal secretary come in!” The voice spoke out from within the office again, and I swallowed hard before approaching his office. I have never been this tensed because of anybody before, so why now?. “Good for her! Boss, is definitely giving her the sack very soon!” Gabriela said and I turned to look at her, wondering what her problem is with me?”. “How long is it going to take for you to open the door and fucking come in?" The voice sounded and I tremble slightly. Damned, his stern, cold voice, is deeply intimidating to the ears. “Good morning sir!” I said on entering the spacious office with beautiful interior designs. He was standing facing the wall. He is the same height with Murphy, and as for the mask…. “What is fucking good about the morning? Miss Alexandria!" He said calmly but coldy that I tried not to show my fear. “Why are you just coming now? Are you aware that this is your first day of resumption? Didn't my friend inform you about the rules? That is if

“Yes, sir!” Andrus, quickly hurry into his own office to make a call. “So, easily?” I questioned myself inwardly, wondering why he is acting like the devil itself. This man is heartless! How could Murphy be friends with such a cold, hearted man?” I resolved to ask him, the next time I see him. “But…sir! Please, sir! It won't repeat itself again! Oh my goodness! What have I done wrong? It must be this witch, here! She is evil, and brings bad luck! She needs to be sacked too!” She said loudly pointing fingers towards my direction, almost running wild. "Oh! really? A witch? That sounds just great!" i said with a grin, and she rushed towards me like someone fully possessed by demon's. She was about getting closer to me, her eyes glimmering with hate, when two strong hands suddenly grabbed by the waist and pulled her roughly along with them. "Mr president! please give me another chance at my job! bitch! this isn't the end of it yet!" She screamed loudly while being dragged away.

“First, I was only trying to respect your boundaries, sir! And secondly, I can work with minimum supervision, sir?” I said with a blank face.“Alright! Let's see about that! I have sent some mail to you concerning tomorrow's meeting with some stakeholders and a business transaction with Sung’s corporation. Go through it, and send it to the various appropriate company's departments!” He said, then resumed working on his laptop.“Yes, sir” I said, and then walked out immediately.“He thinks he can easily scare me off? Nah, I need this job more than ever now!” I said to myself before going through the new mails, and I printed them out for easier proofreading. Thirty minutes later, I was done. Quickly, I started writing mails for the appropriate departments it concerns. I was almost through when Sande's call came in. Thinking that it might be an emergency back at home, I picked the call. I quickly dismissed her when I confirmed that everyone including my sick dad are responding to treatme

“Hush! Did she hear us? I told you to be careful! Alright, I am out of here!” She said, and then stood up immediately. The others did the same.“But I won't mind getting married to my boss! He is so handsome!” One of them said in a low tone.“In your dreams, right?" Another said with a sneer, and they laughed at the said dreamer!.“What a world! I can't imagine being gossiped about this way!” I said, and Andrus grins at me.“This is the corporate world, Alexandria! And in the world of business, gossip moves faster than lightning! Hence, you need to be very careful with what you say or do!” He said, and I paused to reflect on what he said.“Is that why he is this way? Because he doesn't trust anyone?" I said deeply in thought."Alexandria, it's time to go back!” he said, and I stood up, deeply, grateful for the brief meal.“What were you thinking about?” He suddenly asked me on our way back to the office.“Why in the world would anyone think of getting married to a man like that?” I sa

“Have you prepared the report concerning the inspection of the site?” he asked without taking his eyes off the laptop.“It will be ready in a minute sir!” I replied, almost in whimpers. The hunger was seriously telling on me, now.“What is wrong?” he asked, looking at me, and I was confused.“How, sir?”“You don't sound, or look okay!” He asked and I became more confused at his sudden show of care.“I'm alright, sir” I said, swallowing hard.“Alright!” Please let the report be ready quickly!" He said, and I turned to walk out of the office only for him to call my name.“Yes, sir?” I said, turning back to look at him.“Take this! It's past lunch break already, and I care for the welfare of all my staffs” He handed over a fancy designed bag to me.“Thank…thank you sir” I stutter, deeply shocked by his gesture. With that, I walked out of the office when he did not say anymore words.On opening the packed foods, I was surprised to see my favorite Chinese dishes, carefully packed with ca

“Why did you say so?” He asked before opening the car door for me to enter when we got to where he parked at the front of the company. “Well, he acted like an asshole today!” I said while strapping on my seatbelt and he turned to look at me. “You know, it isn't right to talk bad about your boss?” He asked with a grin. “Not when I am saying the damned truth!" I said and he drove off immediately, still smiling. “So what made him an asshole, today?" "Promise you wouldn't tell on me?" I said with a stern tone, and he glanced at my face briefly. “I wouldn't!" "Alright! But first, tell me why you are friends with him?” I asked, and he smiled again. “I'm not just friends with him. We are actually distant cousins. Maternal distance cousins! Remember what I said about being like-minded with the CEO?” He asked and I remembered it. “You are actually cousins! And he had the nerve to assume we are fucking each other?” I asked and he laughs out softly. “He actually told me a little of

"Bro! You remembered me today? I thought you have found someone else to give your love to!" He said obviously grinning, and I smiled faintly, unable to laugh out loud. “Dude! Are you alright? He asked after a brief pause. “Where are you right now?” I asked instead. “At our usual place, bro!” “Alright, I am coming! Just give me five minutes!” I said, before driving off immediately. Seven minutes later, I arrived at our favourite bar. “Chester, my man! You are looking dashing as always, bro!” He said, giving me a handshake. “Thanks, man! So how have you been surviving?" I said with a smile, not wanting him to suspect anything. “I'm good, man! Just that you left me out of the fun" "Fun? What fun are you talking about? Not when I am working my ass off!” I said, and he laughed out loudly. “Sorry, man! Sometimes, I feel for ya!? So how is your new gorgeous employee doing?” He said and I suddenly felt a sharp jolt of pain in my heart.“Are you alright?” He asked to see me closing

THE HEAT BETWEEN US Losing Control
“Sell your shares.” “No.” I exhaled sharply, my pulse spiking. “Then I’ll buy you out.” He smirked. “You don’t have the money for that.” His arrogance made me want to slap him. “I’ll find the money.” He tilted his head, amusement flickering in his gaze. “I’ll match any offer you make. And then I’ll raise it.” I clenched my fists. “You’re a bastard.” He stood slowly, walking around the desk until he was right in front of me. “I’m a businessman.” I refused to step back, even as my body betrayed me with the memory of how close we used to be.He studied me for a long moment. Then, his voice dropped to a low, almost dangerous murmur. “You can fight me all you want, Alex. But I’m not going anywhere.” I swallowed, willing myself not to show weakness. His gaze flickered to my stomach. “Especially now.” I stiffened. That was the moment I realized—This wasn’t just a game to him. For a second, the entire world seemed to freeze. I forced my expression to remain blank, but he saw righ
THE HEAT BETWEEN US This Is War
I should have walked away. I should have ignored the way his words sent a shiver down my spine. But he never let me take the easy way out. I met his gaze, steady and unrelenting. “I don’t have time for your games.”He smirked. “Who said I’m playing?” I scoffed. “That’s all you ever do, isn’t it? You push, you manipulate, you trap people into your world, and you think I’ll just—” He cut me off, his voice lowering. “I think you’re scared.” And I froze. He took a step closer, his scent—expensive cologne and whiskey—invading my senses. “You’re afraid because you know the moment you let me in, you’ll never be able to push me out again.” Anger flared inside me, drowning out the weakness he was trying to pry open. “You’re just so delusional.” He chuckled. “Maybe. But I’m also a man who always gets what he wants.” I clenched my jaw. “Not this time.” His smirk didn’t waver. If anything, it deepened. “Then tell me, Alex—why are you still standing here?” I opened my mouth to ar
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Last Line
The Next Morning, I woke up to my phone blowing up. Calls. Texts. News alerts. My stomach dropped. I clicked the first headline I saw: “Breaking: The Blackwood's Cooperation Acquires Montgomery Tech in Multi-Billion Dollar Deal” No. No, no, no— I scrolled further. “Ethan Montgomery Steps Down Amidst Sudden Buyout—President Chester Blackwood Takes Full Control” I couldn’t breathe. And then—A text from the bastard. Chester: You still think you can push me away? Chester: Checkmate, sweetheart. I threw my phone across the room. He wasn’t just playing to win anymore. He was playing to own me. I stared at my shattered phone on the floor. Chester had done it. Again. He had outmaneuvered me, blindsided me, and backed me into a corner. I couldn’t breathe. I threw open my closet, yanked on a coat, and grabbed my keys. I needed to confront him. Now. ****Blackwood's Cooperation – Manhattan Office I stormed past the receptionist, ignoring her startled protests. "Ma’am, you can’t
THE HEAT BETWEEN US Hell, No! I Am Doing That!
The night of my business launch, I stood at the center of the event, surrounded by flashing cameras, luxury-clad investors, and Manhattan’s elite. This was my night. My future. And nothing—nothing—was going to ruin it. Until I saw him. Chester Blackwood. Tall. Unbothered. Infuriatingly confident. Dressed in a midnight-black suit, he strode in like he belonged there—like he owned the damn room. My heart slammed against my ribs.Oh, hell no. I stormed toward him, ignoring the whispers and the press who were already snapping photos..I forced a smile—because I would not make a scene. Not here. Not tonight. "What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed under my breath. He smiled. Smug. Relaxed. Completely in control."I’m here to support my wife," he said smoothly. I stiffened. "I’m not your wife anymore." His gaze dropped deliberately to my stomach. "Are you sure about that?" My breath hitched. He wouldn’t—he couldn’t— "Chester," I warned. He leaned in, voice dropping. "Re
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The First Move
ALEXANDRIA POV The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I regretted everything. The cameras were already flashing outside. Dozens of reporters, onlookers, and paparazzi had gathered to watch my first public appearance with Chester Blackwood And he? He looked like he was born for this. Seated at a private table, dressed in a tailored black suit, exuding power, he gave me a slow, deliberate once-over as I approached. "You’re late," he murmured. I forced a smile, sliding into my seat. "Traffic." His eyes gleamed with amusement. "You mean you almost didn’t show up." I ignored that. A waiter appeared immediately, offering an expensive bottle of wine. Chester dismissed it with a flick of his wrist. "Water," he said. My heart stopped. He seems to be catching up with things about pregnant women. I kept my face neutral. "No wine for you?" His gaze flickered to my stomach. Barely noticeable, but I saw it. I gripped my napkin under the table. If he knew, he wasn’t saying it yet.
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Offer That Changes Everything
"You can tell yourself that all you want," he murmured. "But we both know the truth." I turned on my heel. "We’re done here." "Alex." His voice stopped me. For a second, I hesitated. For a second, I almost turned back. But I didn’t. Instead, I forced my feet to move, stepping into my car, and slamming the door shut. I had to shut him out. Because if I didn’t—he’d find a way in. ******* CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV She was running. Again!. I clenched my fists, watching her car disappear down the street. For weeks, I’d played by her rules. Let her shut me out. Let her build her defenses. But tonight? I changed the rules. And I wasn’t stopping. I pulled out my phone and dialed Andrus. "Boss?" "Prepare a press release," I said. "I want a statement out first thing in the morning." He hesitated. "What kind of statement?" I smirked. "The kind that makes it impossible for Alex to ignore me." ****** ALEXANDRIA POV By the time I got home, my phone was blowing up. Ava had sent ove
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Walls Start Cracking!
I pointed to the door, my body shaking. He hesitated. Just for a moment. Then he nodded once, stepping back. But before he walked out, he turned to face me one last time. "This isn’t over." His voice was calm, certain. "You can keep shutting me out. Keep pretending you don’t feel anything. But I’m not leaving." His gaze flickered to my stomach. "Not when I have two hearts to fight for." Then, without another word, he walked out. Leaving me standing in the middle of my apartment, breathless, trembling, and utterly, completely lost. I didn’t sleep that night. His’s words haunted me. "Not when I have two hearts to fight for." Damn him. I should have been relieved that he left. That I had thrown him out before he could sink his claws deeper into my life. But instead, I lay awake, staring at the ceiling, my hands resting over my stomach. Because no matter how much I hated him, no matter how much I wanted to erase him from my life… He was still the father of my child. And he wasn’
THE HEAT BETWEEN US I Love You, Alex!
The color drained from her face for a split second before she recovered. "Oh, Alex. Always so dramatic." I watch Chester’s gaze snapped to her. Sharp. Furious. Good. Let him see exactly who she was. I tilted my head. "You’re right. Almost dying in a staircase accident orchestrated by my husband’s mistress is such a trivial thing." Gasps rippled through the nearby guests. Natasha’s smirk faltered. Chester s jaw tightened. "Alex—" But I didn’t give him a chance. I turned to the crowd. "Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a charity to support. Unlike some, I actually care about something other than my ego." Then, without another glance, I walked away. And for the first time in a long time… I felt like I won. ******* CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV Natasha barely had time to process her humiliation before I grabbed her wrist and yanked her aside. She gasped. "Chester—" "Enough." My voice was lethal. "You shouldn’t have come." She recovered quickly, her eyes flashing with fake innocenc
