“My darling! You are a very beautiful girl! Do you mind me asking how old you are?" She said, looking at me."Ma'am, I am twenty five years old, today!" I said, shyly. Yes, today is actually my birthday but I can't remember when I last i celebrated my birthday. Sometimes, I even forget totally about it.“Oh my goodness! You mean, it's your birthday today? Wow! Happy birthday, dear!”“Thank you ma'am!" I said, looking at the glass of juice in my hand.“So, what do you care for? Oh..oh… I know exactly what to do! Marvin!” She suddenly called someone, and a tall guy with a muscled chest, hurried into the exquisite sitting room arranged with exotic pieces of furniture I have only seen in high rated movies.“Go and prepare the car, we are going out immediately!” She instructed the guy who seemed to be her personal driver.“Yes ma'am!” Marvin said, and hurried off.“Come on, dear! Don't behave like a stranger in my house!” She said while standing up, and I did the same.“You know, today is

“Take this,.... this,... this one,”She kept removing, and throwing clothes from the line, at the Manager's who had been silent walking behind us.“Come this way!" She said, almost dragging me to the next clothes line.The price tag on these ones were simply outrageous for just luxurious dresses. “Take this, this…..we will take this one,...”she kept on saying, and picking them.“Ma'am, I think I am okay with this!” I said, getting alarmed at the bulk of clothes in the Manager's arm. What if I offend her in the future, and she asks me to pay back the things she bought for me? I need to be extra careful and not get carried away by her acts of kindness now!.“Are you sure?” She asked, while staring at my face.“Yes, ma'am!" "Alright, these will do for now. Now, let us to the latest brands of bags” “Yes, ma'am!” the manager said, while handling over the bulk of clothes to two sales rep, and then he leads the way to the bags section. My goodness!

“This is ... .this is” I stutter. “Beautiful? You are already beautiful dear, I only brought out the shine in you!” She said, and I jolted up to hug her. She wanted to resist at first probably out of fear for Mrs Ave, but then allowed me to. “Thank you ma'am!” I said, avoiding tearing up and then ruining my makeover with suppressed emotions. “You are welcome!” “Is she done? Oh my goodness! She is hot!" Mrs Maribel said on seeing me. "Of course she is hot! A Blackwood can't be looking unkempt!” Mrs Ave said, and I tried to remember where I had heard of the name Blackwood. it keeps resounding in my brain. “Of course I know about that Merida, you don't need to remind me about your fashion sense!” She said, and they both laughed out loud. “Alright, Maribel! See you some other time!” We walked back to the car, patiently waiting for us. Thirty minutes later we stopped again at the front of an eatery. “Come on, darling! Let's go in!” She said already out of the car. “Ookay!” I repl

“Are you cold?” she asked, still patting my back, gently. “No ma'am! I am just overwhelmed by joy! Thank you so much ma'am!” I said, release her from the hug, cleaned my eyes, made a wish, and then blow off the candle lights. “Wow, that is my baby girl!” She said, and I smiled, while we started eating. Soon my phone started ringing, at first I did not want to pick the call but on sighting the caller's ID, I quickly picked it up after a polite excuse. “Hello! How is it going?” Sande asked me, sounding distressed. “I'm still working on it, just give me a minute!” I said, while stroking my forehead with the tip of my fingers. “Are you sure, help is forthcoming?” She asked again, while trying hard not to cry. “Yes, Sande…” I wanted to say more when I heard someone else screamed loudly at the background. “Hello! What is going on?” I said, already pacing around now. “Grandma is no longer breathing, Alex! She is all I have now! I don't know what to do anymore!” She said, al

She screamed with excitement, the moment the call connected. “How do you mean?” I said, puzzled, and wanting to hear more from her. “Do you know how rich that lady is? She is so powerful that, my grandma was picked right at home and straight to the most famous private hospital in the world! Isn't that wonderful?” She said giggling, still excited. “Meaning?” “Meaning, grandma is receiving a better medical treatment in Lady Ave Merida Blackwood's hospital!” She said in a high pitched voice. “I am sure you know who owns the hospital? How did you get in contact with your boss’s mother, so quickly? Girl, you are deeply connected,now!” She said obviously happy for me, but my head was already spinning around with this information. “Wait a minute! You meant it is the same Blackwood's? I mean, the Blackwood's I am currently working with?” I said, swallowing hard. “Don't tell me you are this dumb? Girl, of course it's the same Blackwood's! There

“Now, this is just the right opportunity for me!” I said on sighting him walking towards me. “Please don't tell me I came around at the wrong time?” he said smiling, and I grinned at him. “What! Why will you say such a thing, Chester?” I asked him. “Because that signature smile of yours, literally means something I might not want to hear right now!” He said, peck me on my cheeks before sitting down on the couch opposite me. “Nah! It's nothing, Chester! You hardly come home!” “Mom! I am deeply sorry about that!. I am just so busy these days. But, I will surely make it up to you!” He said with the smile that has earned him the abominable name on social media. “Alright! I just want you to be okay!

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.

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 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

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.

"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.

"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.
