I still want Lana
Donovan's POV I took hold of the vodka cup and poured five shots into my glass, the strong scent wafting from my mouth. A gasp escaped me as I continued to consume one shot after another until a pounding headache set in, a consequence of my excessive drinking. I struggled to focus on the surrounding clarity, but it offered little relief. "Donovan, what is driving you to drink?" Sarah queried, her gaze fixed on me as she forcefully snatched the vodka glass from my hands, nearly causing me to feel faint. Anger boiled within me at this action. "I do not require your assistance, woman; I desire solitude," I retorted, reaching for another glass to pour more vodka. However, she swiftly swept her hand across the bar, sending the entire drink shattering to the floor. "Do not feign indifference with me; I know you are pining for her, Donovan. Just admit that her wealth is driving you to distraction," she shouted. “Whose wealth is in question? Were you truly unaware of the humiliation she inflicted upon me during the grand opening?” I let out a sigh, attempting to soothe the pain within me, a pain difficult to suppress when it involves someone who should be a symbol of eternity. I pondered my next steps when Sarah proposed an outrageous notion. “ What if she had murdered her husband to attain such riches?” She inched closer to me, but my eyelids felt too heavy to meet her gaze. “I cannot entertain your absurdity, Sarah. If you are capable of dismantling someone's home by destroying their relationship, then perhaps you are capable of murder as well; however, Lana is not like you,” I remarked, my voice barely rising above a whisper. I attempted to rise but found myself too inebriated to move purposefully. “Are we discussing the purity of Lana at this moment?” She suddenly exclaimed, reaching for my hands, but I withdrew, insisting, "Do not touch me; just allow me to be if you please." I gestured towards the room, leaving her to confront her fears. She is aware of how absurd she appears when claiming that Lana may have murdered her husband. Does she intend to harm me as well? If that is her intention, I possess no valuable assets to offer her, I mused as I continued my way to my room. Upon reaching the door, I paused for a moment to collect myself. I closed my eyes, yet all I could envision was Lana standing confidently before the crowd, of which I was a part, feeling utterly humiliated. How frustrating! I couldn't help but smirk. I opened the door and entered the room, making my way directly to the mattress. I collapsed onto it, unable to suppress a hiss of frustration. In my agitation, I turned towards the floral verse and, with a swift motion, hurled it to the ground, shattering it into fragments. The sound reverberated throughout the space, and soon after, I heard Sarah's persistent knocking. "Donavon, please don't hurt yourself," she implored, her voice filled with genuine concern and resolve, yet I found myself consumed by my anger. “Please give me some space for the moment; I need to gather my thoughts.” I am alright, Sarah, I shouted. The next sound I heard was that of my standing mirror shattering on the floor. "Aaah!" I growled in frustration. With a sense of calm, I made my way to the ground, sitting beside my bed, my hands gently running through my hair as tears flowed down my cheeks like a delicate stream. At that moment, the door swung open, and Sarah entered, gripping the door frame as she looked at me with a weak expression. "What have you done, dear? Why did you allow your foolishness to take over?" she inquired, her tone low and threatening. A rush of adrenaline surged through me as I raised my eyebrows, glaring at her from beneath my lashes. "Did you just call me foolish?" “Indeed, I did. What is your perspective on this, Donavon? A seemingly unremarkable individual has appeared unexpectedly, and now her sudden presence is causing you distress. Goodness!” She exclaimed, sluggishly approaching me while I curled up on the floor like a child overwhelmed by a downpour. "Wait, do not regard me in that manner," she stated, squatting down to collect shards of glass, which I observed absentmindedly. My heart raced when she hurled a sharp fragment in my direction, prompting me to evade it. "What on earth! Are you attempting to harm me?" I inquired, gazing at her in astonishment. "Yes, I wish to harm you if you continue to lament over a woman who has exited your life and subsequently married a man she later murdered." Her words struck me profoundly, compelling me to rise abruptly and confront her, my breath warm against her skin as I grasped her neck firmly. “Do not speak of Lana in that manner,” I sighed, taken aback by her intense gaze. She remained resolute, her feet firmly planted on the ground, as she opened her eyes and rolled them repeatedly. “Do you believe I will be swayed by your current intentions? Go ahead, end my life over Lana and rot in prison, Donovan,” she warned. I felt a sense of weakness; why was I inflicting harm upon her when Lana was merely my ex-wife? It is unjust. I released her, and she swiftly adjusted her dress. Her final look at me filled me with remorse. “I am sorry, Sarah; I should not have treated you this way.” I apologized, retreating gently until I reached the edge of my mattress, shaking my head in regret. It is acceptable, just ensure this place is tidied up, as I will not be responsible for your mess, she remarked, leaving me to confront my disarray. “I love you, Sarah!” I called out as she exited, but her reply left me feeling desolate. “Convey that to Lana; perhaps she will value it more than I do, Donovan. Cease the pretense.”The conference Lana's povAs I settled into my seat, my fingers rhythmically tapping on the table with a sense of urgency, I observed the boardroom filled with intellectual men prepared to negotiate contracts with me. Rising from my chair, I placed my hands on the table to address those present. I scanned the room, searching for the familiar face of my ex-husband, who had expressed interest in collaborating with my company but was notably absent. I scoffed, adjusting my necklace and bracelets. "Mr. Jan, please have the staff bring in the coffee; I believe everyone would appreciate a refreshment before we commence our discussions," I suggested, smiling as they nodded in agreement."Yes, Mrs. Lana, the arrangements have been made and are awaiting your approval," he replied graciously, prompting a smirk from me as I adjusted my bracelet. "Let her serve the coffee, Mr. Jan..." I trailed off as a group of latecomers entered. "Donavon, what on earth is he wearing?" I muttered under my bre
I can't apologize to Lana Sarah pov“Why did you treat Lana that way? You should not have taken it to such extremes,” Donovan stated, his voice filled with resolve, and I could sense the anguish underlying his tone. “Goodness!” “Why are you even bringing her up? She can manage her controversies; the media is more than capable of portraying her as a fragile woman, especially since she aspires to be a lioness,” I remarked, laughing lightly while snacking on my chips. However, Donovan's expression revealed no amusement. “Sarah, what if she jeopardizes all the projects my company has invested so much effort into?”His question struck me, causing my cheerful demeanor to fade and my expression to become serious. “I hadn't considered that!” I exclaimed, my heart racing as I adjusted my seating, trying to suppress my frustration over my oversight. “You will need to apologize to Lana for the harm caused,” he asserted, and my heart skipped a beat at his words. “What? I cannot apologize t
THE MEDIA Lana povCaroline Davon, a prominent journalist known for her critical stance on the media's portrayal of the situation instigated by Sarah, prompted me to create an opportunity for Donavon to halt all agreements intended for my company. I carefully repositioned the table to facilitate a discussion regarding the scandal, as Caroline urged me to address the matters at hand in order to restore my reputation.While I acknowledged her request, I remained unconvinced of the necessity to engage with individuals like Sarah and Donavon, deeming them unworthy of my attention. I scoffed, running my fingers through my hair as I contemplated my next words."Please, take a moment to relax, Lana. It’s merely a twenty-minute conversation; it’s not a significant issue," she remarked, to which I responded with a shake of my head, indicating my disapproval.“The interview is not merely a twenty-minute engagement, Caroline; it is possible that I may become emotional throughout the process. I
Surprise visit Donovan's pov I walked back and forth in my office while Sarah stood with her arms crossed, exhaling forcefully like a distressed animal.Frustrated, I shouted, "Aahhh! Sarah, you are nothing but a witch! How could you possibly deliver such a speech about—" She interrupted me, stating, "About Lana." "Donovan, it is time for you to decide between me and Lana. I am tired of hearing about Lana this and Lana that," she growled, advancing towards me. I felt my anger rising, a feeling I was reluctant to unleash upon her. "I despise this farce of a marriage," I retorted, pushing past her with a dismissive gesture. "Excuse me, Sarah, what are you doing in my office? I left home earlier than necessary to escape your incessant complaints, and you dare to come here and continue your tirade." I motioned myself to the shelf as she also followed behind ranting and chasing me from one side of my office to the other. Hunny you have to listen to me, I am doing everything for your
SEXSarah pov“You assured me of intimacy, so prepare yourself and get in the right mindset. I can overlook your earlier reference to Lana, but the commitment to intimacy remains non-negotiable.” I noted this as I allowed my towel to drop effortlessly. “Please refrain from this behavior! I am exhausted and require some rest. There will be no intimacy tonight; it was an error to have made such a promise.” Donovan's remarks elicited an unexpected fit of laughter and applause, reminiscent of mindless gossip. “What did you just say?” I inquired, looking at him with a blank expression.I observed him as he wrapped himself in the duvet, enveloping his entire body from head to toe. It struck me as rather immature for him to believe he could prevent me from engaging in intimacy with him. "Let us take a shower, Donovan, before we proceed with whatever we are about to do," I suggested, but he merely laughed. “We share nothing in common interests.”In a fit of anger, I gestured towards the wa
TERMINATED CONTRACT WITH LAWSUITLANA POVAs I gazed at the documents being filed under my company, I couldn't help but remind all my employees about the importance of not accepting unauthorized files. Gathering the entire staff in the hall, I was too preoccupied with the turmoil caused by Sarah throughout the week to address them myself. "Mr. Jan, please take the lead," I said calmly, absentmindedly running my hand through my hair and keeping a serene smile on my lips. "Of course, Mrs. Lana," he replied. I observed as he straightened his tie and cleared his throat before confidently discussing the issue of accepting files.“Mrs. Lana, the file belonging to Mr. Donovan has also been included among the documents presented.” Mr. Jan remarked, indicating the file toward me. A wave of anger washed over me as memories began to resurface. A single file had been the catalyst for my divorce from Donovan, and now he seeks to engage in a business arrangement with my company. It is foolish of
Lana povHow could she possibly label me as weak? This thought consumed my mind as I directed a fierce glare at Caroline, who appeared completely unaware of the implications of her words. “Did you just refer to me as a weak woman?” I finally voiced my concern, yet she paid me no mind, engrossed in her chocolate bar. I couldn't help but wonder where she had acquired such a treat while seated here, dismissing me as a weak individual.She leaped out without a moment's pause and faced me directly. “I was not joking, Lana; you tend to take everything lightly, which is why Clara feels compelled to impose her foolishness upon you.” Her voice dripped with malice as she spoke. I cannot afford to be lighthearted when conveying the truth. She persisted, yet I could sense the weight of her sincerity regarding the matters at hand. I understood that she was attempting to transform me into a ruthless and unfeeling individual, but I was not prepared to embrace that change.Can we skip speaking of
Court case Lana povI initiated legal proceedings regarding the matters that have perplexed me for several days. Although it was Caroline's suggestion to take action against Sarah, I am now eager to engage in this pursuit. The situation has become more intriguing since I secured a distinguished and attentive attorney who is diligently handling the case.I dressed in my tailored trousers and a fitted suit jacket, presenting a professional appearance. As I stood before the mirror, I reflected on the transformation I have undergone over the past few years; I had once been engulfed in despair, but now exuded confidence. With a deep sigh, I adjusted my outfit, acknowledging my stunning appearance as I twirled around, my heart racing with anticipation. I slipped into my heels and fastened my necklace, ensuring everything was in place.“It is time to commence the festivities, Lana; I am not to be underestimated.” I reminded myself, but my moment of self-admiration was abruptly interrupted b
