“Oh, hmm…I am still interested in the job offer!” She said and I couldn't hold back my smile anymore. Andrus was still looking at me.

“Please, give me a minute, I will get back to you!” I said and then hung up.

“Sir, is anything the matter?" Andrus said, with curiosity in his eyes.

“Is there something else you want to inform me about?” I glare at him and he quickly composes him.

“Yes, sir! This is the file of legal team B, concerning the industrial park project” He said, before placing it on my desk.

“I will go through it” I said and he walked away murmuring to himself but I heard it.

“Boss, act strange all the time. A minute he is happy, another minute he is angry! Who can understand him better?" He mumbled and I was not surprised to hear him describe me like that. In this world, especially the cruel business world, you must not show any weaknesses because it will be used against you!.

Picking up my phone, I dialed the number back, the moment Andrus closed the door behind hi

    Resisting the urge to throw down the phone, I quickly stood up, untied, and tied my necktie back, before slipping both of my hands into my trouser pocket. “This lady seems to be smarter than I thought! I need to be fast about it!” I said to myself, gnashing my teeth. Suddenly I picked up my phone and headed straight for my private elevator. “Boss, where are you going?” Andrus asked on seeing me and did the same. “Stay behind, Andrus, I want to be left alone!” I said in an icing tone, and he withdrew immediately. He went back to his office as the elevator door closed. I shouldn't have told him off in that tone, after all, he wasn't the one that got me pissed off!. Soon, I arrived at my private parking spot, and paused on opening the car door. “Wait a minute! Where the hell am I going?” I questioned myself, before gazing at my reflection on the car. Suddenly I turned back absurdly and headed for the office. “Welcome back, boss!” Andrus said, shocked to see me after a minute. Wi

    “Hi, Alexandria!” he said, smiling. “Hello, Drake! How are you doing? It's been a while!” I said, and he smiled again before shrugging his shoulders. “You told me off, remember? Hum, can I sit down beside you?" He asked, staring at me, and I nodded my response. “So, how are you doing?” I spoke up first. “Am doing fine, just feeling down lately!” He said after taking a sip from his red wine. “Really? What happened?” I asked, feeling a little bit concerned for him. “You broke my damned heart, remember? And ever since then, I haven't been myself” He said, and he suddenly stopped drinking. Pushing his glass of wine aside, he turned to fully look at me. “What?” I asked when he silently stared at me. “Why wouldn't you at least give me a chance? I'm hot, young, and not bad looking, and I have got money as well! So, why won't you let me spoil you with money at least since you rejected my offer of love?” He said slowly and I kept quiet at first. Seeing my silence, he stood up and tried

I want you, Fred!” “Alex, we both know what will happen tomorrow morning after doing this now! Just relax, okay!” “Are you rejecting me now? I thought you loved me!". My need for sex was intense now. "Please don't, Alex! Don't try to use my weakness against me” “You liar! You never loved me!” I said, and suddenly started crying. “Please don't cry, Alex! For goodness sake, you know how much I love you! How much I want you as mine! You know too well, Alex!" He pulled me closer to himself, and held onto me, and I quickly kissed him. Slowly, he responded to my kiss and soon his tongue fought with mine for dominance. Deeply the kiss, I had a better taste of the champagne wine in his mouth. Raking his hands through my hair, his hot breath fanned my face while he held me tightly to himself. “My goodness! I fu

    “Yeah, Alex! I love you! You are so fucking sweet, and I love the way you you make me dream about you every fucking seconds of the day! Ahh… Haah… Yeah…come on baby, you are my baby…” He continue moaning, with his eyes closed. Feeling my sensation soaring high, I grasp my leg tighter around his waistline, bend lower on his body, and immediately increased my bouncing speed again, i felt him shivering out of pleasure beneath me, while loud moans from both of us filled the room. “Aaah…Fucking Goodness! Am… I'm getting closer, Alex…!” He moans out. And I felt it becoming more intense. Quickly, I pull out before he will hold me back like he did before, and his seed splashes on my stomach. Standing up, I walked to the bathroom adjacent to the room, no longer feeling tipsy. By the time I came out of the bathroom, he was sound asleep. Sighing softly, I checked the wall clock. “Shit! It really late! I won't be able to get a cab back home” I murmur, turning to look at his cute face whi

    Are you trying to shift the blame on me now?” I asked, looking shocked at his Words. “Why should i?” “What kind of a question is that, you ass, prickled, dude! Ain't you supposed to protect me from such a messy situation? And you claimed to love me! You worthless piece of trash!" I said, my chest swaying up and down in anger. Actually, I wasn't angry with him. I am just angry with something unknown, something I have securely locked up in my enclosed wall of self-defense or rather, self-control. “Alex! I did that! But you insisted! You insisted, and practically bullied me into it!" He said loudly, while trying to demonstrate with his hands. “I bullied you into it? Hahaha… can you listen to yourself?” I said, totally pissed off now. “Yes, you did! You questioned my love for you, and succeeded in using it against me! You are my only weakness, Alex!” He said, equally yelling now. “Are you yelling at me, now?" I said, coldly. Raking his hands through his hair, he breathes out loudly

    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!

    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

  • 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.

    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. "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. And I’m not leaving New York without a fight." Gasps filled the room. I felt my entire world tilt. This wasn’t just a private battle anymore. Leon had just turned our war into a public spectacle.

This couldn’t be happening."The deal’s off," my business partner, Adrienne, had said over the phone. "We just got word—the company we were finalizing the contract with has been fully acquired by the Blackwood's Industrial Sector."I squeezed my eyes shut, willing myself to stay calm. "What does that have to do with us?"Adrienne hesitated. "Ms. Alex… hmm...it means , President Chester owns it now. Which means he owns our deal, too. And word is—he’s pulling out."My stomach twisted into knots. This wasn’t a coincidence.

    He poured us both a glass of wine, studying me carefully before speaking. "How have you been?" I let out a dry laugh. "You don’t get to ask me that." His jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. "I’ve been looking into obstetricians in Manhattan. The best of the best—whatever you need." My heart lurched, but I forced my face to remain blank. "I don’t need your help." "You’re carrying my child, Alex. That makes it my responsibility too." "Funny, because you didn’t care about responsibilities when you were busy chasing Natasha." His entire body tensed. "I told you—I made mistakes." "Yeah? Well, some mistakes cost too much to fix." Silence. He took a slow sip of wine, his gaze never leaving mine. "What will it take?" I frowned. "What?" "For you to believe me. To give me a chance." I exhaled sharply, gripping my glass tighter. "That’s just it, Chester. I don’t want to give you a chance. I don’t need to believe you.
