Emily's POV “What are you doing here?!” He asked, staring at me. “And who is this?” He looked at Peter who was seated in front of me.“You should sit,” I said, smiling stylishly. He never expected to see me. Well, I already had it in my sleeve before reaching out to him. “What is going on here?” He asked again as he settled next to me. “Mr. Natalie, I am glad you honor my calling.” Peter leaned backward. “Emily here reached out to me concerning your company and how the Wilson family has been behind the loss surrounding it,” he explained. Austin glanced at me. “Really?” He scoffed.“Well, I had to do something. I mean, I can't watch you suffer” I responded.“ I don't need you helping me!” He was still being stubborn.“ I have a juicy offer, Mr Natalie,” Peter interrupted the tense atmosphere.“And who are you? You should introduce yourself” Austin glanced at him.Peter smiled. “There is no need for all of that. It's not important,” he responded and continued. “Myself and Emily
Kylie's POV “Are you Nervous?” Lady Oh asked as she opened the car door. My legs were shaking.I glanced at her, and couldn't say a word. Her face was worn with a worrisome look. “Come here” she cupped me Into her arm, giving me a very comforting hug.I came down from the car, basking in my confidence. Determination was all I felt as I walked into the company conference hall meeting. It would have been a worse situation if any of those shareholders had arrived before me. The conference call we did last night was a mess. More reason why I had organized this emergency meeting. Maybe a physical approach would change the whole thing.Usually, the shareholders arrive before me, but it was the other way around this time. Thirty minutes and none of them had shown up.Panic set into my heart after a whooping two hours, and still, it didn't seem like any one of them would come.I got up from the chair and paced around the room.“Ms Kylie, I don't think any one of them is coming. You should
Kylie POVMy body suddenly went numb at the sight that befell me. Maybe it was a wrong choice, I shouldn't be here, watching Austin take away what I have been working hard to lay my hand on.I felt broken and disappointed in myself. I'm the exact word people saw me as. A failure. Someone who couldn't keep her marriage. I always lose at the end. My mind was clouded with so many thoughts, my eyes burning red, I was like a ticking bomb that would explode in no time. “Ms Kylie Wilson?!” Senator Thompson glanced at me, his eyes holding with surprise but his voice said the opposite. It felt like a mockery tone. “Who would have thought I would see you here?” He added. Sh**t.I promised never to give room for humiliation but right now, I was faced with it, heavily slapped on my face that I wished the ground could open up and have me drown inside. “Oh- yeah-” I smiled awkwardly. The tension increases every second in the air. Not today, not in front of Austin and Emily. I'm not letting m
Kylie POV.My heart sank as I listened to Lady Oh talk from the other side of the phone. I could sense panic in her voice. “Madam Wilson, seek your attention right now! I think you should brace yourself, it doesn't look good at all” The message was properly relayed. More troubles have happened. I gently glanced at my phone, my heart beating faster than I could ever imagine. “Is everything alright?” James questioned, his face harbouring concern. “I.. think I have to go” I dragged my word, not staring at him. I could have imagined myself walking out of the door already. “Okay, can I at least drop you off?” James' voice came again in my head. I quickly snapped myself into reality. I tried as much as possible to put on a smile, a weak one. “No,you don't have to worry” I grabbed my bag on the table. Without taking a glimpse at him, I walked out of the party. I tossed my bag in the back seat. I was going to open the front door when I suddenly saw a strange hand doing the honour.I g
Austin POV My head was filled with the thought of Kylie, the look on her face, she looked disappointed. I'm not the one to steal from others, especially in that corporate world. I hate playing dirty, but Emily left me with no choice with her dirty tricks and now I felt bad, shitty for taking away from her. Maybe I should have interfered, maybe I should have stopped Emily from jealousy. I just couldn't help but feel bad within myself. I rested my head on the headrest with my eyes closed.“Are you okay?” Emily asked.I glanced at her, Ignored and gently glimpsed at the other side of the car, staring at the view of each building. “Zoom” she suddenly pulled the car over. I didn't bother to glance at her as I know her to be the crazy person she was. “Austin” she called out, still didn't give her a glance. “Why are you so uptight? I just help you- “Emily, I never asked you to! Why are you so bent on destroying Ky?” I finally glimpsed at her.“What!” Her face hardened, harbouring d
Kylie POV Talking to James was really comforting. From Emily and his crew down to Madam Wilson lashing on me. I get it, Madam Wilson's action was justified but It breaks my heart that I wasn't able to meet up to her expectations.Over all, James was down to make out a good day out of the bad day. After we spoke last night, I realized he was the Intelligent type, more reasons I would be taking his advice to consideration. He seemed to know more about the corporate world than I do. I woke up, feeling energetic. Yesterday has passed and all that happened in it is gone to me. What next is how to tackle things, how to prevent any more casualties. Now that it isn't just only me anymore, I don't want those angry birds behind the keypad taking it on Fred. I won't take it likely on any one of them if they try to come for my brother.“I want an Emergency board meeting with the press and media” I sent a message across to Lady Oh. It wasn't even up to minutes, until she called through.
Austin POV I finished with Francis on the phone and finally settled to watch the live conference..What does she mean by addressing the scandalous news? she is not trying to Emulate my ways, is she?Would she try to tell the whole world about our marriage? My head was about to blow off with so many unanswered questions. I couldn't find myself concentrating.My eyes glued to the television screen. For some reason, I couldn't take my eyes off her one bit.I grabbed a glass of water, to subdued my dry throat. “I am sorry but you can't just barge into his office like that” “Young woman, it seems you don't know who I am. You must be tired of your job” I could hear voices coming from outside of my office. No doubt I knew it was my secretary but the other feminine voice was what I couldn't get properly. The door swing opened. “Emily,” I called out. Behind her was my secretary Regina, who seemed worked up. I can imagine what Emily might have put her through to finally get up to my
Kylie POV I felt a sense of relief after the success of the live conference. It wasn't in any way easy but I was sure to pull through. I fell into the couch in my office, feeling unsure if things would actually be fine. My response to each question, the way I acted In Front of those angry reporters. Will that even convince the people that I'm not the weak Kylie they thought I was. “You should have this,” Fred interrupted my thoughts. I glanced at him, in his hand was a glass of cold water. “Thank you” a little smile appeared on my face as I collected the glass of water and gulped it down my throat.“You really did well today. I must say, I am proud of the way you handle all of the questions thrown at you” he said. “Ummm- I murmured, not sure if I should really be glad at his compliment.“Lady Oh want to have a word with me” He announced and got up from the chair he was seated in. “See you at home” I responded without glancing at him.I rested on the headrest, gently closed my

Emily's POV The house has been empty since Austin left. I have tried countless times to reach out to him, but he wouldn't pick up my calls, and recently, it seems like he has blocked me. To make matters worse, he banned his secretary from letting me in his company.Well, all of what he has done doesn't bother me one bit. No matter how long it takes him to run, he will come back home to me. I am going nowhere. He belongs to me; the faster he realizes, the better.I decided to have a drink in a quiet bar. Things have been so noisy lately. “As much as I could recall, I'm not in any relationship,” said Austin's voice in my head. I smirked as I recalled the ridiculous mass interview from Austin. He was smart enough to organize such a mass address; that way, Kylie's image could be at the center of it. It became ridiculous the moment he spewed that word out of his gutter mouth. What does he even take me for? “Your drink, ma’am,” the bartender's voice interrupted my thinking. I took a
