Rachel’s POV

I was beginning to get better at this job, and even though I have the CEO to thank, I also have to thank myself, because I was the one that believed I could do good at this job and that was what happened.

“Are you ready for us to start heading out?” CEO John asked me, glancing at his watch as he stood beside me.

I nodded in approval. “Yes, I’m ready.”

He led me to a car and opened the door for me. He was such a gentleman, even though he had a lot of money and many women around him, he decided to keep me beside him. But the only thing that left a bitter taste in my mouth was that he only saw me as a business partner, and that was not all I wanted.

He got into the car, and I thanked him for opening the door for me. The driver drove off.

We came to a stop at a luxurious hall, and just as he did when I wanted to get into the car, he opened his door, walked all the way around to my side, opened the door for me, and stretched out his hand.

I took his hand and stepped out.

    In a corner, Noah sat with the glass of champagne in hand, watching Rachel and her ex-husband talking. Then CEO John took her away. He bit his lower lips and wondered what was going on between those two.She ran away from him and now she is with another rich and powerful CEO. There was something that did not settle well in his heart.“You can run but how long can you hide,” he muttered under his breath.After three days, there was another event and Noah saw them again together, with the same CEO John. They were talking, and the CEO John was introducing Rachel to potential clients. Noah stood in the corner, just watching. He didn’t push them because he had nothing to say.He waited until she was alone outside the event.“Why are you with him?” he asked, stepping forward, voice low.“Why are you here?” she shot back, crossing her arms.“I asked you a question first,” he replied, eyes narrowing. “I don’t understand why you wouldn’t leave me alone,” she said, voice rising. “This doesn’t

    Rachel’s POVThere are many things I never thought I would see in my life, but one of them was seeing my ex-husband in my company the next day, sitting in my office, waiting for me. When I stepped in, I paused, staring at him for a moment before walking to my desk and sitting down across from him. I wondered why my secretary let him in without confirming with me first. Maybe because he was a richer and more powerful CEO and of course, we needed wealthy clients. I decided to shrug it off, though I made a mental note to have a word with her later about letting strange men into my office.“Do you know that it is rude to just walk into someone's office and sit down without invitation?” I asked, placing my bag gently on the table. “What exactly did you tell my secretary? Did you threaten her to let you in here?”“I don't need to threaten anyone,” he replied. “She knows who I am, so of course she has to do what I want.”“What exactly do you want from me? Because there's nothing I can do

    Rachel's POVI thought that after seeing him come to my office and being denied entry, he would forget about me. But the next day, as I was coming to work, I saw him standing in front of my company building.“What exactly are you doing here this morning?” I asked, my brows furrowed in irritation.“I came to talk to you because I think that the last time we spoke I was not being that direct,” he said, adjusting the cuffs of his suit.“You know that the police told you not to come here again,” I reminded him.“I am in front of the building. I am nowhere near your company or even among your office, so I don’t think that they can do anything to me here,” he replied with a smug smile.I tried walking past him to enter the building, but he blocked my path, stepping right in front of me.“Just listen to what I have to say and I will leave. I won’t have to see you again,” he pleaded.Even though my mind told me to tell him to go and burn in a fire, I still wanted him to stop bothering me. So

    The door opened and someone walked in. Noah, who was working on his laptop, refused to look up ,he had a clue who it was.“Is it just me, or are you so jobless that you come to my office every single day?” Noah asked his friend who chuckled. “I am not jobless. I just came to visit my dear friend because I am concerned about you. Don’t act so mean.” His friend huffed and flopped onto the chair opposite him.Noah narrowed his eyes. He wondered if his friend could act responsible and mature for once and just head to work instead of disturbing him every morning.“What do you want?” Noah asked, finally looking up.“What do you mean by that? Do I always come to see you when I need help?” His friend raised a brow and leaned back.“Yes. 90% of the time you come to visit me this early in the morning, instead of heading to work, you need help with something. So what do you need?” Noah asked him closed his laptop and fold his arms.“Well, now that you mention it, I might need help with somet

Why are you just peeping inside?” I asked him in, still smiling.“You seem very happy today.” He said ,as he stepped inside and shut the door gently behind him.“Oh, I have heard good news.

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

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

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."

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.

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
