Chapter 17 Sebastian’s point of view “Yes it’s all in the presentation that was emailed to you. I’m quite the perfectionist, so I’ve drafted the answers to all the questions you might have, no single details left unraveled, it’s all in the file. Kindly go through it and let me know your feedback,” I spoke into my phone. “Alright then, pleasure doing business with you.” “The pleasure is mine.” The call ended afterwards and a smile drew onto my lips. I’ve finally landed The Aces into a deal with me, and our partnership is promised to be all over the air tomorrow. It was worth the smile on my face. If only Xavier hadn’t been a pain to the neck, and managed to become an investor as well then I would have become over-joyous. Now I need to hunt harder for another multi-billionaire tycoon to either invest with me or partner with my work. Both of which will always benefit me. A knock rain down on my door, that halted my moment of glory abruptly. Who could be knocking? Donna has a lan
Chapter 18 Ryan’s point of view “So you mean to say it was I who invited you over to LA? Via a letter?” I didn’t wait for her to respond before I continued, “If we’ve been in contact through letters in 2026 that there is no use for mobile phones or media services, how come I wasn’t enthusiastic about your arrival? I wonder why I’d prioritize my work over spending some time with you?” I wanted her to see the shade in this whole situation, how she’s a victim of a plot. She’d nodded alongside my words that I believed she has seen what I wanted her to see. “I didn’t even know. I thought it was because I refused your invitation because I wanted to surprise you with my presence instead, so I thought you were pissed that I refused and showed up unannounced. And I still think you prioritized your work over me because you’re still pissed at me?” She answered my rhetorical questions and proceed to prove to me that there is absolutely nothing useful inside that pretty head of hers. Useless.
Chapter 19 Sebastian’s point of view I read through the article Donna shoved in my face and force me to go through to believe that Vivian was a liar and that she’s here with a motive. She badly wanted me to sack her, but all I’ve seen or read in here weren’t implicating enough. If anything, they just proved more truths to her words. That she was indeed rich and has everything until she go broke. I’m sure her family wouldn’t publish the decision they took to disown her so the family wouldn’t have a bad stain on them, and she on the other hand wouldn’t like the story out in the happen because of her shame. It’s pretty understandable to why it’s not known that she’s disown or broke. I’ll need more than articles to believe Donna over Vivian’s story. My phone buzzed, and a text came in. I dropped Donna’s phone for her so I could check out the text I received, it was the perfect distraction to be done with Donna’s trouble. Xavier has texted me the address of where he wanted us to mee
Chapter 20 Ryan’s point of view When I got Donna’s text regarding the task I gave her to set a meeting up between Seb and I, she’d told me about Seb’s date with a client of his, namely Xavier Rodriguez. The weird guy we both met at the governor’s party. Why were they going on a date? Donna didn’t include the details. I’ve gotten only the location, and when Marcelene texted me hi that she just collected my contact from my mother. I knew exactly how I’m going to see Seb tonight. I decided to invite Marcelene out to a night out at the city and she was delighted to accompany me. And so was my mother when I arrived with a car to pick Marcelene up, she has no idea what I’ve done or had in store for her. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when tomorrow comes and she meets with the fate of her schemes. “Where exactly are we going though? I never asked?” Marcelene asked as she fastened her seatbelt around her. Since I wouldn’t like myself a driver, and prefer to drive myself aroun
Chapter 21 Sebastian’s point of view “Seb! Seb! Seb wait!” The recognizable voice chanted from my behind as I walked into the restroom. I turned around with the aim to bang the door on his face when his body pushed through and his scent flexed straight for my nostrils. He kept himself close to me as he grabbed me by my shoulder and pushed me into the nearest wall. His face a view of desperation as he scoured me in a longing gaze. “Why are you doing this to me?” His jaw tightened as he quizzed in distress. I looked away from his eyes and down to the hands that were on my shoulder. “Get your hands off me!” I warned in a gentle tone. He dropped the hands, but circled his left one around my neck as he gently nudged his forehead into mine. His hot passionate breaths fanning into my face. “Haven’t you done enough?” His eyes closed as he sniffed in a long breath. “Fuck, I’m gonna go crazy.” His lips edged onto mine as he worked his way into my mouth.I stood there, dumbfounded like a
Chapter 22 Ryan’s point of view I dusted off the dirt on my pants while I kept my gaze glued to Seb’s trail of disappearance. I’d finally gotten to him, and he refused me still. What I’d give right now to be able to go into his mind and check out the mystery he is at the moment. To know just what currently clashes inside that fine space of his mind. His thoughts about me, about us, and about what’s next. I stood there, rooted to a spot for more than a minute even after he was gone just thinking out loud to myself on how the night has to end like this. I’d gamble my life for the chance of the night ending with me naked in bed with him, or us cuddled up together and getting over our past. Any ending so long as it doesn’t involve him running away from me. I blew out a frustrated sigh before I pushed into motion and went back into the lounge. As soon as I showed up back at the lounge alone, the smile on Donna’s face suddenly became a frown as her brows raised suspiciously. Her mo

Chapter 25 Sebastian’s point of view Donna and I arrived at the office in the morning, but she had to go away with the excuse of changing her outfit. I was now left in care of my new secretary, Ryan’s sister and it looks like Donna hasn’t shared with her the rules around here. She knocked on my door and brought a coffee for me. Number one, I do not take coffees anywhere or any types so long as it’s not prepared by myself. Number two which is really very important is, unless I’m unreachable and urgently needs to be reached, you’re not allowed to knock on my door or disturb me, instead make use of the landline attached to your desk. I’m sure Donna didn’t tell her all of this because she wanted her to get on my nerves. “You’re not allowed to knock on my door unless you’ve tried to reach me through the landline provided at your desk multiple times and I was unreachable, only then should you come to my office and knock on my door. I hate disturbance,” I began to address her. “If I tak
