"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.

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    Secret Past! (1)

    I heard the distant voices of people talking. It seems like an echo, sounding closer to my hearing. Then, I had the dream I haven't dreamed of for more than twenty years now. She is still the same, smiling while covering the wound close to my heart region with a piece of headscarf. “Don't be afraid, it's gonna be okay, I am here for you, before you are being properly attended to!” It sounds so real! Her voice sounded so real to me. “Why did you leave me alone? Why did you break your promise of staying by my side?” I asked her but it seems she wasn't paying attention to me anymore. I was losing control of her, of the dream like always. Her face was becoming blurry, and I started crying. “Chester! Chester! Are you okay?” A distant voice keeps calling out while touching me gently. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see my mother sitting beside me on a bed that didn't feel right on my body. Her eyes were red and puffy. Looking around the strange room, I saw my dad, Daniel, and my sister s

    Alright!” I said, trying to get off the bed. With my mom stubbornly insisting to assist me, we walked towards the private car park built only for VIPs, especially celebrities hiding from paparazzi. While Daniel was trying to open the car door for me to get in, I did a quick survey of the magnificent hospital with my eyes. It’s one of the corporations' hospitals, but this particular one belongs to my mother. “Alright son, do take care of yourself! Thanks Daniel!" My mom said, "It's nothing, mom!” Daniel replied before zooming off immediately. “Take me home, dude!” I said and he smiled. It seems he already knew what was in my mind. Still feeling dizzy and tired, I slept off. “Wake up man, we are at home already” He said, with a gentle tap on my shoulder. “Oh! That was quick!” I said before getting out of the car. Still feeling lightheaded, I lean against the car for a few seconds. “Welcome sir!” My housekeeper hurried out towards us. “Is it ready?” Daniel asked her, and she nodd

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    What Is Wrong With Boss?

    I arrived at the office very early, with red eyes, and dark circles. Quickly, I arranged the documents for today's meeting with the stakeholders. After which I ate what I carried along. “Good morning, sir!” I heard Andrus's voice. Quickly, I walked to his office, knocked twice and entered when I heard his voice. “Good morning, boss!” I said on getting in. “Good morning, Alexandria! Are the documents ready?” He asked calmly, and I wondered what got into his head this morning. Or maybe it's too early to be grumpy. “Yes, Boss! And the meeting is scheduled to be held in about two hours time” I said. “Wonderful! Alright, remind me in one hour thirty minutes!" "Yes, boss!" With that, I walked out. I saw the looks of surprise, and shock on the faces of the stakeholders the moment he stepped into the hall. Only for me to realize some seconds later, that it was because of the mask. Two hours-thirty minutes later, we were done and it was already time for pre-lunch break. “Miss Alexa

    “Come join me!” I said, not bothered by what I did. “Nah! It's for you alone!” “Come on, Murphy!” I insisted, my mouth already filled with rice. “Alright!” With that he sat closer to me. “Alex, ain't you going out for pre-lunch? Oh! Mr Murphy is here?” Andrus smirks on seeing us eating together. I watched Murphy narrowed his eyes at Andrus, who swallowed hard, and then walked away without anymore words. “Why did you do that?” I asked, while taking a bite on the crispy fried chicken. “Did what, Milady?” “You scared him off with your eyes? Ain't you worried he might report you to the CEO? You are kind of breaking the company's rules about visitors. “Not on pre-lunch break hours! besides, he is my cousin and would do nothing!” He replied with a smirk. “Says the cousin to the nasty CEO!" I said without thinking, he paused to stare at me. “What?" "Why do you hate my cousin brother so much?" "Hate is a strong word! Nah! I don't hate it! But I don't like him either!” “And I am

    “Let me get the report!” I said and she left immediately. Breathing out softly, I thought of how I can put an end to the other identity of mine. ******* The rest of the day went smoothly until closing hour, I saw her laughing at what Andrus said, and I suddenly felt like dragging her away from him, or put a slap on Andrus's running mouth. “Why does he like chatting with her? I hope it not what I am thinking?” I saw her suddenly laughing hard at whatever he is saying. Quickly, I entered the restroom in my office, and changed my clothes. After ensuring that they both went into her own office, I came out… “Murphy! You kept to your words!” She said, turning to my direction, while Andrus eyes opens wide in shock. “Why are you looking at him like that? Or, wait a minute! Are you the one that informed boss about his cousin's bost during pre-lunch break” She asked, and I turned to stare hard at Andrus. “Why will you think of a thing like that?" Andrus said, looking shocked at her acc

    “Can you just calm down and listen to me, please!" I said with my icy tone which always works effect on anyone, and it did worked, because he kept quiet immediately. “Thanks, man! Listen, like i was saying earlier on, I am coming with someone. It's my new employee. I just want you to officially know her better. But the problem is, she doesn't know me as CEO Chester…!” And he quickly interrupted again. “What do you mean, man?" I could feel him frowning now. "What I mean is that, i am interacting with her with two identities. One as Murphy who she knows, and the other as Chester who she also knows but as her Boss!" I said, and he yelled out loudly. "What the hell is that, bro? What do you think you are doing?. Wait a minute? Are you in anyway wanting to date her?. Okay, this thought of mine is silly though, but are you in anyway falling for her?” He bombarded me with questions. “Yes…, i meant No..!, I just like her as a person!” I said, getting more confused at my own words. “You

    “Murphy my man! How are you doing bro? Wow! You must be Alexandria? I have heard a lot about you! But Murphy never told me that you are more gorgeous than he described!” Daniel said with a smile while holding her hand. Mouthing my deep appreciation to him, I breathe out, deeply relieved of my anxiety. “He did? And he is just telling me about you!” She said, smiling at him. “Come sit Milady!” Daniel gillies her to one of the couches. “You are dutch too!” She said, already sitting down. “A dutch from my maternal side, and a Spanish from my paternal side!” He replied before pouring juice into a glass cup for her. And I wonder what has gotten into him acting super nice to her now. “Wow! What a great hierarchy you have got there!” She said sipping from the juice. “So how did you met my friend? You know he can act like a pear head sometimes!” He said, and he laughs softly. “Ladies first! So how did you became his bestfriend?” He say, andDaniel smiled widely. “Well.. I happened to re

    “Is it that obvious on my face?" "Why won't he be scared of your cold Aura?" She said, after entering the car. "Why are you not scared of me, then?" I finally asked the question bothering me at the office. “Beyond your cold demeanor lays a kind hearted man! I know you are not heartless, Murphy!” She said softly, touching my chest. Staring into her bewitching sea blue eyes, my emotions went wild while carelesing the strains of her hair lurking out of place. Swallowing hard twice, I look at her naturally red lips, again. Suddenly, I kissed her. And i heard her gasps out in surprise, but that didn't stop me from kissing her soft lips. Those red lips have been driving me crazy ever since we arrived at the club. And I could still taste the sweetness of the juice in her saliva. Titling her head closer to mine, I deepen the kiss while her resistance, broke off. Returning the same gesture, I got full access to her lips, and God! She taste so sweet, so fucking sweet! I murmur inwardly, wh

    “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

    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 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 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.

    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.

    "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

    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 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.
