James' POV“Jane, why are you joking with your life? You know what would happen if you mess up with me, right?” I threatened her in anger.“What more can you do, James? If you could cheat on Leena with me, then there is nothing you can do to me.” She said flirtatiously, curling her lips.“I warned you never to speak of her with disrespect again, didn't I?” I asked in annoyance, grabbing her arm.“It doesn't matter any longer. She is as good as useless.” She spilled bluntly.“I'm not here for your rant. Hand the flash drive to me.” I seriously requested for the drive.“I know this is what you want and you would get rid of me when you have your hand in it. Why will I cast it to you?” She asked, raising an anxious brow.I didn't know why I couldn't put her in her place. Was it because I was too sentimental when it comes to women or I had respect for the female gender?She was annoying and deserved every action from me but I was reluctant.“You are part of Leena's memory, whether good or
James' POV“Boss, you just agreed to marry Hannah, daughter to the Chairman of Lush Hair group.” Harry reminded me as we got out of the car.“I know. I know what I did and what I'm doing.” I informed him coldly.“Does this mean you have gotten over your feelings for Miss. Leena?” I stopped in my tracks and faced him.“Do you have to ruin the mood by calling that name?” I asked him curtly.“I'm sorry sir.” He lowered his head to the ground.“Which room is she in?” I asked almost immediately.“Room 180.” He paused.“Boss, can I go in with you?” He made a comeback as we entered the elevator.“No. You will stay outside and wait for my command.” I instructed him calmly.“Sure. Have you seen her full report that I sent to your email last night?” He asked courteously, staring at me.“Yes, I did and that's why I'm confident about this meeting.” I informed him in relief.“I will be outside then.” He said neutrally.Thick silence erupted in the elevator as I roughly rubbed my forehead. The elev
James' POV“How does it feel to become the Chairman and heir of the Wellson Empire?” Madam Charity asked me as we walked into the elevator.She wasn't looking happy about it one bit.“It feels great especially since it's something I have been struggling to achieve for the past seven years.” I said bluntly and from my corner eye, I saw how she fumed and clenched her fist in anger.“But you should know that delay is not denial.” She quoted, staring at me.I smirked.“Yeah, I know. But that implies to those who don't know how to protect what they own.” I said curtly as the elevator door dinged open.“This is not the end, James. My sons are still alive and I guess you know what that means.” She warned me coldly.“Of course, I will have my eyes on them and make sure they settle for what they deserve.” I paused and faced her.“Just like you stole my mother's spot, I will make sure they never see the spotlight again. This is the end of your tyranny and threat over me.” I said seriously and s
Leena's POVThe trending Nina Simone music played through the stereo record.The smooth rhythm filtered in the air, I thought all these were dreams and I struggled not to wake up but it was futile since something delicious was lingering in my nose.My eyes slowly opened and I found myself lying on the king-size bed. I wandered my hand in the bed but it was empty.“Where is he?” I asked as my eyes opened immediately.I remembered coming to his house last night after our short business trip.I was expecting him to wake me up or something. Did he leave to work without notifying me?“Oh my boo.” I grumbled as I took up my phone.I walked to the living room as I dialed his number, and surprisingly, his phone started ringing.I looked in the direction and saw his phone lying on the center table.“He is at home?” I muttered rhetorically as the sound coming from the kitchen drew my attention.“Babe?” I rushed to the kitchen and found him frying something with the pan.“Babe.” I couldn't hold
Leena's POVHe placed me on his desk and I wrapped him quickly, we continued kissing passionately.Soft moans escaped from me as our kiss became wild and deep. He kissed me roughly and was so hot.Inwardly, I wanted something more.This wasn't the first time we have kissed but I didn't know why none of us had spoken about sex.Maybe because we weren't married yet. His stout arms grabbed my waist and pulled me to himself but our lips remained unbreakable.I felt his erection on my stomach and concluded that it was his dick because there was no way his trouser would be so strong.He also wanted me as his hormones had risen to its peak.Soon, there was a knock on the door and I quickly hid under his desk since the person didn't wait for his command.“What do you want?” He fired at the person almost immediately as he nervously took his seat.I was under him, staring at him and I saw how he controlled himself not to laugh.“Sorry for disturbing you. I have been waiting for your signature a
Leena's POVI strolled into my boyfriend's and found him watching the news, and immediately he saw me, he jumped from the armchair and rushed to my side.“Babe, what took you so long?” He looked worried and anxious.“Nothing much. I walked down here from the hospital.” I said as he assisted me to sit on the armchair.He sat down beside me.“Why? You could have booked a ride or called me.” He said with a big frown.“No, I wanted to catch a breath.” I assured him with a warm smile and he exhaled heavily.“So, what did the doctor say about your health?” He asked, staring at me anxiously.“He said I should come back to the hospital and run some tests.” I couldn't tell him the exact discussion I had with the doctor.“Does that mean it's a normal symptom and you are fine?” He asked, pushing my hair away from my face and tucking it behind my ear.“Yes babe. I'm fine.” I nodded, flashing him a smile.“You don't know how much I'm worried about you, sweetie. As much as I want to spend the rest
Leena's POVI washed my face in the sink and walked out of the restroom.“Hey Leena, you are still here?” Lily, my co-worker, asked me, looking surprised.“Is there somewhere else I should be?” I asked anxiously, staring at her.“Yes.” She paused.“The CEO approved our field trip. Though you weren't here yesterday, you were part of the staff coming for the field trip.” She meticulously explained to me and I sighed.“Really? I got no memo.” I shrugged.“Everyone didn't. Just grab your bag and let's go.” She urged me with a smile.“Sure. I will settle things and meet you all.” I informed her calmly.“The bus leaves by ten.” She paused and gave a quick look at her wristwatch.“We have seven minutes left so hurry up.” She said in excitement and rushed out of the workspace.I walked to my desk and crashed on the seat. If it was in the past, I wouldn't have known what was wrong with me. But right now, I felt weak, which was a normal symptom for pregnant women.I felt reluctant to attend the
James' POV“Who is it?” I asked angrily as I headed to the entrance and opened the door, and to my surprise, my stepmother and my father entered the hallway and walked into the living room.Why were they here?This was the second time since I relocated that my father had visited me.I exhaled heavily before following them behind.“Father, good morning.” As I spoke cautiously, I pointed at a comfortable armchair for him to sit on which he sat grumpily.“I'm surprised to see you…” I trailed off as my gaze fell on my obnoxious stepmother.“What do you mean? Are you not happy to see us?” Madam Charity fired at me.“No, that's not what I mean.” I rattled out immediately.“Then, what do you mean? Before I came here, you should know the reason.” My father cleared his throat.“Is it about the stock? Because the last time I checked, our company is still floating.” I said as a warm smile engulfed my lips and he clicked his tongue.“We are here because of your married life, James. It's not what
“[BREAKING NEWS: Mr. and Mrs. Sean were the victims of an explosion around the isolated part of the city, the cause of the explosion is yet…]” Almost all the television, radios, and phones were announcing the same news. “How did this happen?” Leena's mother rushed into the emergency ward. “How come? How did something like this happen to both of them?” Leena's father asked anxiously as anxiety lingered in his eyes. “That shouldn't be our problem now.” Sean's father cried out. “What do you mean?” Leena's mother stared at him intently. “Only Sean's body was found at the explosion scene.” He paused. “Leena…. Leena…” He continued stuttering. “What are you implying?” Leena's father's lips started trembling. “Leena's body wasn't found.” Sean's mother spilled bluntly and the latter gasped in shock. It felt like they were electrocuted as they didn't speak or move for minutes. “Leena!!! How? Why?” Leena's mother wailed as she rambled with several questions. “We don't know. Sean barely
Leena's POV “Lawrence, I mean it when I said my children are under your care.” I began. “My parents and Sean's parents or someone else might come to make things difficult for you but as long as I'm not reachable, you've all the right to my children,” I said seriously. “You are confusing and serious, Leena. Is something going on?” He asked anxiously, raising a brow. “Everything is fine.” I placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for everything. From beginning till the end, I truly appreciate it.” I said, forcing out a smile. “Thanks for trusting me.” He said courteously with a short bow. “Did you bring the car and prepare all that I told you to?” I asked him impatiently and he sighed. “I can't believe I did something like this.” He paused. “I trust you are sending this over to someone else, if not, I will blame myself forever if something happens to you.” He said sadly and I smirked. “I'm just trying to set things the way they were in the past. It's never your fault.” I assur
Leena's POV “Who are you?” And when he came out fully, I gave him a scornful look. “Who am I?” I smirked. “Has it gotten to the time when you can't recognize me?” I questioned him in disgust. “My apologies, I didn't see you clearly,” Harry said courteously. “Where is your boss? Where is James?” I fired at him anxiously. “He is not around at the moment.” He said, lowering his face to the ground and I knew he was lying. “I know that brat is in there. James! James! James!” I started banging at the gate again in anger. “Open this gate and let me in!” I barked at his face. “I'm sorry but I was asked not to open the gate for you.” He said randomly. “Harry, your boss is doing something evil! He is ruining my family. Will you still try to protect him till the end?” I asked him, raising a brow and he shook his head. “Please, leave Mrs. Sean.” He said coldly. “I can't believe you. All of you are evil. I won't let any of you go scout-free.” I cried bitterly. “Mrs. Sean, please leave n
Leena's POV “James! James, you bastard! Come out here and atone for your sins!” I screamed while banging the gate. This had been going on for more than two hours yet he wasn't in sight. Was he ignoring me? He ruined Sean. He ruined my family and gave us sleepless nights. Why was he so wicked? “How did we get here?” I cried out with all my veins showing through my neck as I collapsed to the ground. As my eyes closed, old memories rushed through like adrenaline. I couldn't control or help it as I cried profusely. Sharp Flashback - “You're here.” He walked confidently to my corner and handed me a bunch of roses. I smiled. “Wow, thank you.” I gushed. “Come with me.” I took his hand as he walked me up to the round table. My eyes met with the plate on the table, a small cupcake was in the center and the chef designed a love shape around it. At the sides of the shape, there was a short note. “Be Mine Forever.” I was taken aback, flustered, and shocked. “James…’’ I trailed of
Leena's POV “Officer, I can't believe you fell for those words he stated. He is lying!” I couldn't control my emotions as I yelled at the police officer in anger. “What do you mean?” He scoffed. “I know the man I married. James would and will never have any twins!” I said seriously. “But he showed us evidence and everything. He also had an alibi that made it hard for us to point him as the victim.” He rashly explained to me. “Am I blind or something? How come for so many years when I was married to him, I never heard of or seen his so-called twin brother? Why are you falling for these lies? I mean, you can even ask around to know if this is true!” I rambled with words in annoyance, firing several questions at them. “We are sorry, Mrs. Sean. We have to follow this case slowly. Besides, he has good connections and I'm afraid of losing my job.” He said skeptically and I smirked. “What? So, you are trying to save your head rather than bringing justice to me? Where is my detective? W
James' POV “I knew from the start that both of you are good-for-nothing pigs!” I yelled at their faces in anger as they buried their faces on the ground. “We… we are sorry boss.” They stuttered. “I warned you, didn't I? I told you not to insert bullets in the guns as we are only going to scare them!” I reminded them in disgust. “We are sorry boss but…” they trailed off when the door of the warehouse made a loud noise. My father approached us with a deep mischievous laugh. “I told them to do so.” He spilled bluntly and my jaw dropped. “What?” It was too hard to believe and the only way to protect my emotion was to act clueless. “I told them to pull the trigger if Leena or her so-called husband refused to hand over my grandchildren.” He informed me seriously and I scoffed in disbelief. “Father!” I cried out sadly as a big frown took residence on my face. “What?” He gave me a scornful look. “We can't afford to hurt anyone or play dirty.” I reminded him seriously. “This is my g
Sean's POV “How is my daughter?”“How is he? What's going on?”Leena's parents rushed into the emergency ward, looking anxious and worried.“She…” I held my head with my palm, feeling devasted.“She is still in the operating room,” I informed them sadly.“Why? Isn't it taking too long?” Her mother panicked.“It is. It is but I can't barge in, can I?” I raised an anxious brow.“How did this happen? You were impatient over the phone so we didn't get the full details.” Her father's voice came up, staring at me.“We were at home, thinking about how to tighten our safety since I wasn't comfortable with the kidnap case.” I began.“I was shocked when I heard he had broken the mansion gate with his men.” I sighed heavily.“Everything happened so fast and it was only the sound of the gun that brought me back to earth,” I explained meticulously and they shook their heads in disbelief.“That brat has grown so bold!” Her mother gnashed her teeth.“He pushed my daughter to this state, does he thin
Jane's POV“Father! Father!” I screamed in anger as I stormed into my father's office, holding a newspaper.I just received the worst news of my life and he was at fault.My father seemed to be busy as a brunette sat on his desk while they engaged in a steamy lustful affair.My eyes blazed in anger as I watched my father passionately kissing another lady who wasn't my mother and moaning, the lady's legs were wrapped around his waist.“Go get a room if you don't know what they call dignity!” I yelled at him in anger and they flinched.“Where are your manners? Can't you knock?” He quickly arranged his trousers and shirt as he took his seat.The brunette picked up her clothes lying on the floor and rushed out of his office.I turned my gaze back at my father.“Why should I knock? Does this place look like a hotel to you?” I questioned him in disgust.“Why are you here? You always like interrupting my peaceful moments!” He yelled at my face but I rolled my eyes.“You can screw all the wome
James' POV“Arghh!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I charged over the guards.“You bastard!” I grabbed the first one by his collar and punched him in anger.“I told you to fucking keep watch and make sure you don't escape! Are you deaf!” As I spoke, I grabbed the other one and pushed him to the ground.“We… we are sorry, boss.” They trembled on the floor.“How dare you! You should have been careful!” I was so enraged that their apology did nothing more than irritate me.“I paid you enough and fed you for these few days! You grew stupid because I failed to tame you!” I picked up hard wood on the floor and spanked them in anger.They winced in pain, falling to the ground.“You have less than one hour to atone for your sin, otherwise I can't assure you of keeping your life,” I informed them curtly before storming out of the warehouse.I was angry because this was the first task my father had given me since the time my mother died.He wanted to fight with me until I got what was mi
