Rachel decided not to give up even though her worker colleagues were making things tough for her, so she went to the engineers and told them about what the head of construction was doing and they just laughed at her.

“Are you a kid or what? The only thing you do is go around complaining about what other people are doing? can't you concentrate on your own job?” He asked her with a smug smile.

“That is what I'm trying to do and they are not listening to me.I was given a job to do and I did it perfectly, but they want to ruin it. Why are you laughing instead of telling me a way to solve this?” Rachel asked him in annoyance.

“There's no way to solve this ,because you are the only one who has a problem with it , they are doing a good job,” The engineer told her.

“Are you sure you are qualified to call yourself an engineer ,because if you see no problem with that design hanging on a small thread, then there must be something wrong with your head,” Rachel hissed at him as her patience was r

    The next day, which was Friday, she hurried off to work very early.

    Rachel’s POVI was worried about how I would pay my son's school fees, because it was another worry that I have that I don't know what to do about it.I was sitting on the bed when a phone began to ring.I looked at the phone beside me on the bed and I was surprised to see that it was not my phone that was ringing.I furrowed my brows, confused, then stood up from the bed and began locating where the sound was coming from. It led me to Jake’s bag. I was shocked when I opened the luggage and found a ringing phone inside ,it was an unknown number.I hesitated, then picked up the phone from the bag and answered the call, curiosity tugging at me.“Who is this? You have been calling my number for a while now telling me to meet up with you. Where do you want us to meet up?” the voice asked, and I recognized it immediately ,it was Simon, my ex-husband.My breath caught in my throat. I was shocked. I didn’t want to say anything; I didn’t want him thinking I was stalking him.“Did you hear wha

But when I was sleeping at night, he sneakily ate some snacks and only ate properly this morning when he was about to go to school.I got some clothes ready for school, and I decided to talk to him about what happened yesterday because I know I can’t just leave things this way. He might think I don’t want to tell him who his father is.“Mommy wants to talk to you,” I said gently, kneeling by his side.“I don’t want to talk to you. Mommy was shouting at me yesterday,” he muttered, crossing his arms and avoiding my gaze.“But baby, I didn’t even raise my voice. I was just telling you that you shouldn’t call Simon again. He is my ex-husband and he won’t help us no matter how much you beg him,” I explained.“But you were scolding me,”

Let me tell you something, if your words are wrong, you will regret lying to me,” he warned me. His voice was sharp, his eyes locked onto mine as he pointed a stern finger in my direction.The security guards took me closer to the CEO. Their hands gripped my arms tightly as they led me to him.He was still annoyed with me, but he was willing to give me a listening ear since I had something important to tell him about his company building. “Tell me what it is that you know about my company. If it is something important, I might let you go. But if it is not, then we’ll have a lot of problems.”He leaned slightly forward, his tone unyielding.“There’s a project they’re working on. I am an interior designer that was hired. I drew up some drafts and designs of how the building will be, and the construction workers are not following my design. The hanging desig

Ceo John informed me and I nodded in understanding. "Thank you, sir, for listening to me," I said.The CEO got up from his seat and then headed toward the elevator. I followed behind him, as did his secretary and two of his security guards who had been waiting outside his office.When we got outside the company building, he got into his car, and I got into the second car with one of the security guards. The car drove off to the construction site.We stopped in front of the construction site, and we got out of the car.

    Rachel stayed there for one more hour and was about to leave when she saw the CEO's car in front of her. She wanted to leave. The horn was pressed, and she walked towards his car. One of the bodyguards standing outside opened the back door, and the CEO was sitting inside. “He told you to come in and sit down,” the bodyguard said.She hesitated for a moment but decided to sit down. The door was closed behind her, and she noticed that the CEO was making a call. When he saw that she had sat down, he smiled at her and nodded, acknowledging her presence before continuing his call. She wondered if he had been there the whole time making the call, as his car hadn't moved an inch and all his bodyguards were still in the car. She waited for ten more minutes before he ended the call with a sigh of relief.“I thought that being the CEO would be an easy job, but it’s harder than I thought,” he said, with a smile.“Well, all jobs are hard no matter how you think about it,” she replied softly.J

I appreciate the help,” she said with a smile.He might not realize it but he has helped her a lot.“It’s fine. You can head inside or let’s go inside together,” he replied.They both walked into the company building, and many employees turned their heads and whispered.“Why is that new employee working with the CEO?” one whispered.“She must be one of his mistresses that he decided to give a job to,” another muttered.The CEO stopped in his tracks when he heard the comment, a frown appearing on his face. He turned to look at the woman who had said it.“Get out of here. You’re fired, and make sure she doesn’t come back here again,” he said, his voice cold.The bodyguards quickly approached her, snatching her ID badge and dragging her toward the exit.“I am very sorry! I didn’t mean to say anything wrong! Please forgive me just this once,” she pleaded, but they didn’t stop.“Sir ple

To top it off ,it is not only that he is a cross dresser ,I also have pictures of him wearing ladies dress going on dates with men and he always comes to the news to insult crossdresser and call them evil and sent from hell and that made people get angry and go to his company page and his profile page and begin insulting him.

    Noah pov I could not believe that the children were actually my own. I know that women hide a lot of things, but I did not believe that she would go as far as hiding my own children from me. I didn't know the reason, so I decided I would talk to her about it ,but I would help her.After spending some time with my children, I felt a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in years. When they finally fell asleep, Rachel and I sat on the living room couch to talk about what was happening. I couldn’t keep the question inside anymore ,I had to know why she didn’t tell me.“Can you tell me why you didn’t bother to tell me that you had my children?” I asked, looking straight at her, the one question echoing in my mind. It was the only thing I could focus on. The children had also told me about how James was sick, and she had to come back just to get him treatment at a good hospital. So why didn’t she contact me when she knew my son might have died?“You told me that you will help me. That is the

    Rachel povI walked closer to him.“If I told you that I need help with my company, would you kick me out?” I asked, my voice trembling as I stood in front of him.“I should shoot you first before kicking you out, or maybe dump you by the side of the road. That is the type of man you think I am. I should act like it, shouldn’t I?” he said, narrowing his eyes.“If I tell you something that makes you happy, can you help me get back my company?” I asked.“Depending on what you tell me,” he said, folding his arms, his face unreadable.“You know that I used to like you when I used to work for you. But because of what you told me, you told me that I was just a plaything to you that was one of the reasons that I left. And the other one is that you are a very dangerous man,” I said and he sighed.“I told you to get straight to the point. Don’t tell me things that are already known,” he snapped.“I got pregnant after we slept together. And when I got to the destination where I was staying, I

    Rachel povWhen I returned back home, I was actually glad that the house was empty because the children were in school. I didn’t know how to contain myself. I began searching for the documents of my company in my house, and they were all there. Then I began making some calls to see if I could actually get a lawyer that would represent me and sue him to court. But I called about three different lawyers that I knew, and they told me that they could not help me, because my CEO ex boyfriend John was a very dangerous man and he would hurt anybody that tried to take him to court ,so no lawyer would represent me.“I am very sorry, ma’am. I wish I could help you, but fighting against him is like putting myself and my whole family into a problem. I don’t want anyone kidnapping my family or actually killing them, so I think I can’t help you.” The lawyer’s voice was filled with fear, and then he ended the call without waiting for my response.“I am very sorry, but you can hire someone else.

I wondered why she was calling me ,because I told her not to disturb me during this time. But I knew this must be important, so I answered her call.“Hello, how are you doing? Is there something I can do for you? I know I told you not to disturb me this time.” I said. I sat up, rubbing my forehead as I tried to sound calm.“I’m very sorry, Miss Rachel. I would have not called you if this was not important,” she said, her voice shaky. “But I think you should come to the company building immediately. And if you have not returned, please book the next flight and start coming back home.” She said I was in a haste. “Is there something wrong?” I asked, frowning.I knew my secretary was not someone who overreacted, so I knew something serious must have happened. My stomach sank with worry.“Your business partner ceo John has sold the company and we're expecting the new CEO

    Rachel povI cannot believe that something like this would happen, because this was the last thing I expected. I expected her to live a long and healthy life.When I was with her, she was never sick, so I wonder why all the sickness was happening now that I left. I just wonder what could make her have a heart attack when she was thinking about nothing.I sat there, unable to stop the tears that were flowing down my eyes. I clutched my chest, as the pain in my heart grew heavier.This was the last news I expected to hear. This was something I didn’t want to hear today of all days. I would miss her no matter what she was the only family I had left. Why would something like this happen to such a good woman who only minded her business?After crying for a while, I picked up my phone and called the number that had just contacted me. When the man answered, I asked him what happened to my aunt. He told me he had no information and that I needed to come and speak to the doctor myself, saying

After today’s incident, I decided to sit them down on the living room couch and talk to them about opening doors for strangers. James was doing better now. He was at home with us, and I didn’t want to stress him out. I just wanted to make sure he was all right. "Jake, I have told you many times never never to open any door for anybody when I am at home? And when I’m not at home? We’re not in that small village anymore where you know everybody. You know that, right?" I asked him.Jake lowered his eyes, looking guilty. "I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to open the door. I just wanted to eat pizza, and I was so happy about that. I thought it was the pizza delivery guy, so I just opened the door. It won’t happen again. I’m really sorry, Mum."

So how come, after the divorce, she now has a child for another man? I couldn’t even doubt what she said ,because that boy doesn’t look like me one bit, and I have very strong genes. I was so upset when I walked out of the apartment building and got into my car. My driver noticed the sour look on my face. "Is something wrong?" he asked, glancing at me through the rearview mirror."Take me to work. I don’t think I want to come here again." I told him in a low voice.Even though I was remarried and my wife was a good wife, I don’t know why I had this bitter taste in my mouth.

    Rachel POVI was sitting on the couch talking to my CEO friend John, when I heard Jake shout. I knew something was wrong, so I stood up quickly and walked toward the door. I froze for a second when I saw Simon standing there, holding the door as Jake tried to push it closed but was having a hard time doing so.Simon’s grip on the door was strong, and Jake’s tiny hands were no match for him. I could feel my heart race as I watched the struggle between them.Simon looked up at me and smiled. “Well, I’ve been coming to your office to visit you, but you’ve not been there. I decided to pay your visit here.” He said,his voice was too calm.If I was home alone, I would have been scared for my life, because the door was open, and he could easily come and overpower both of us. And another thing, I was very sure that I did not tell Simon where I live, so he must have sent someone to follow me and found out where I live. That’s the most creepy thing he has done. “What are you doing here
