THE HEAT BETWEEN US Taking A New Step
Sighing softly, I rub my tired neck. Sipping from the glass of juice, my phone started ringing. Seeing the ID of my lawyer, I sighs out again before picking it up. “Hello!” “President Chester, she beat us too!” He said and frowned, totally confused at his words. “Beat us to what?” “She has filed some charges against you and we have been invited by her lawyer probably for negotiations” “What are the charges!" "Defamation of character, Threat To Life, and Attempting Murder!” He said and I clench fist in anger. “Hmm… I can see she is smart! Alright, set up a meeting with her attorney for tomorrow afternoon, let's hear what she has to say” I said coldly before hanging up. “Sofia! Alright, let's see how far you can go about this!” I said, before standing up from the couch, leaving the glass of juice behind. My appetite for drinking has completely been ruined. It was exactly nine am when the arrival of her plane was announced at the airport. Completely dressed up in a casual

“You are welcome!” He said, while taking my luggage away from me and we all started walking towards a parked car. “So, tell me Mr Andrus…” I wanted to say more. “Sorry to interrupt you, but can you quit with Mr? Just call me Andrus!” He said, and Murphy coughs slightly again. “Are you alright? You look tired!” I said, looking concerned. This CEO is a piece of trash! Does it mean he doesn't value friendship very much? Murphy looked tired, and he still sent him to come and pick me up. Well..he definitely meets his match, because I'm not going to condone any trashy attitudes from him!. Strange enough, I haven't seen the face of the heartless CEO as described by bloggers! Going through few of his pictures online only showed his back view, and never his face! How he does it is something I was puzzled about, until more research about him online shows that he controls over eighty percent of the media sector! Damned! The man is powerful! I was still saying inwardly to myself until Andrus,

But what, pretty boy?” I said, and Andrus laughed out again. He seems to enjoy hearing me tease Murphy. “The CEO wears a half-cover mask on his face!” Murphy said, the sudden sharp screening of the car's brake, almost gave me a heart attack. “I am deeply sorry, Sir Murphy!” Andrus quickly apologized to him. “What is wrong?” Are you alright? Let me drive, if you are not feeling too well!” I said before turning to look at Murphy who was not perplexed at the sudden event. He seems to look calm for something like this. Or perhaps, he already knew about Andrus driving style? I thought inwardly. “I'm fine, miss! I am deeply sorry for that. It's just that ... .it's just that I heard something….!” “Please drive the car, Andrus!” Murphy, sharply but calmly interrupts him. “Yes, sir!” Andrus replied before starting the car. Leaning back on the seat, I watched him close his eyes before I did the same. There is something about Murphy that screams mystery! There seems to be this deep conne

“No, sir!” He said after a pause.“Good! Head to Lawson's firm at once!” I said on entering the car.“Yes, sir!” He said and then zoomed off. Ten minutes later, we arrived at my lawyer's firm and passed through the backdoor. It was a famous law firm with wealthy clients seeking his legal advice. Entering the private elevator used solely by me, I head straight for his private office. I have the largest share of the private law firm. “President Chester, welcome sir!” Lawson's mild tone voice spoke up immediately and Andrus opened the door.I entered the room to see Sofia seated at the right side of a single black color couch, looking pale from god's knows what. A stout man with a bald head I presumed was her lawyer, is sitting in the single couch close to her while Lawson's was sitting in a double couch. Well…he was gracious enough to have served them coffee except for Sofia who had a bottle of water close to her.“Welcome president Chester, this is an honor to meet with you sir! The

“Thank you sir, for honoring our invitation!” Her lawyer said. “The pleasure is mine!” With that, I walk out of the room with Andrus behind me. About entering the elevator, I heard yelling voices. “And you call yourself a lawyer? For Christ sake, you messed up everything! Literally, everything, Mr Smithwiggles!” An angry female voice sounding like Sofia, said. “I did not mess anything up, Miss Vergara! The lawyer was right in seeking proof of your claims…!” The lawyer was still trying to say something when she angrily interrupt him. “How can you let yourself feel intimidated by his mere presence? Gush! You made me feel like a foot before him!” Her voice became faint when the elevator door closed. “You can take a cab home, Andrus. I want to drive home, myself!” I said and he turned to stare at me. “Is there something else you want to say?” I asked without looking at him. “No, sir!” “Good!" I said,while coming out of the elevator and headed straight to the parked car. “Good da

It's me, Murphy!” “Of course I know it's you, Murphy!” She said, sounding like someone who is trying not to laugh out. “How did you know it was me?” I pressed on, wanting to hear more. I want to hear her calm voice. It feels soothing to the ears. “Are you drunk or something? Of course I saved your contact on my phone! And your voice…” “My voice? What about my voice?" I quickly interrupted her, eager to hear what she had to say. “You have this kind of voice that sounds not too loud to the ears, but at the same manly. Like, It's in between. Gush! I really don't know how to describe it!” “Are you saying I sound feminine to the ears?” I tease her. “No…come on Murphy, you definitely know what I am talking about!” She said, and I laughed out hard, and loud. Wow! It has been a long time since someone has made me feel free, free with my real self!. “Alexis! Umm…can I call you that?” I asked not wanting to sound too informal or disrespectful to her. “Alexis? Wow! That sounds

“So quickly? I thought he said thirty minutes?” Taking my purse, I head straight for the elevator. “Wow! You look stunning!” He said, on sighting me walking towards him. “Thank you! I hope I didn't overdo it?” I said, feeling shy from his hard stare. And I wonder why! I am the one always in control, not the other way around! So what's up with this new attitude around men? Or perhaps, just around Murphy?. “Nah! It's simple dressing but stunning!” He said, still staring at me. “Okay! Shall we?” I said, and he quickly opened the car door with a gentle smile. “Thank you!” I said on entering the same sporty car earlier on. “You are welcome, ma'am!”. With that, he drove off. “So, where are we going to?” I asked him after a brief silent between us. “To somewhere simple, quiet, but amazing!” He said with a smile. I noticed his tight grip on the steering wheel and wondering what he is nervous or anxious about!. “Alright!” I said and then turn to look at the bright, busy street. He d

“What is it?” She turns to look at me, the moment I unconsciously sighs out loudly. “Nothing, Alexis! Alright, we are there!” I said quickly changing the topic. Looking for a good place to park the car, I came out and open the car door for her. “Wow! It quiet, and looks simple too!” She said, looking around the Chinese restaurant. “You like it here? We can go elsewhere if you want to!” “No…I love it here. Actually, I hate crowdy places!” She replied and i smiled, while we both walked towards the restaurant with few customers. “Hello, Murphy! Long time, no see!” a slim build man, who is the husband of the owner of the restaurant, said with his English-Chinese accent. “Hello, Mr Liu! How are you doing?” I replied with hug. “Fine, fine! Welcome, miss!” He said to her with a handshake. “Thank you sir!” She replied, blushing. “Murphy! How are you doing, pretty boy?" Mrs Lui, a beautiful middle aged woman, who is the owner of the restaurant, said on seeing me. “Am fine

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

Claire I was in the middle of a meeting when my phone blew up with notifications. Adrienne’s urgent text popped up first: "Claire. Turn on the news. NOW." Dread coiled in my stomach as I grabbed the remote and flipped to the business channel. Leon’s face filled the screen, standing behind a podium at a press conference. His expression was calm, composed. But his next words sent shockwaves through my entire body. "I’m moving Sinclair Industries’ headquarters to Manhattan—permanently." The reporters exploded with questions. "Does this have anything to do with your ex-wife, Claire Sinclair?" Leon’s lips quirked slightly. "Claire isn’t just my ex-wife. She’s the woman I love.
