“Someone is here to see you” the secretary said as she sauntered into Bruno’s office.

The man who was busy with work turned his attention from the work he was doing and focused on her.

“I don’t have any appointments, remember?”

“It is Vanessa ma’am, she is in the lounge”

At the mention of Vanessa, his face creased into a frown and he gestured for her to come in.

In a few seconds, the lady dressed in a blue maxi skirt and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into it entered the office with her hair pulled back in a tight bun, the smile on her lips was annoying and Bruno found himself rolling his eyes.

“Why didn’t you call?”

“Why should I? I literally know everything about this company, I am only following protocol or I would have come into the office myself”

Shrugging his shoulder, he dropped his ball pen and gave her his whole attention.

“Why are you here? Mrs Hernandez is not in the office”

“I am not here for her, I am here to see you and discuss a few things with you before I finally l

    The car came to halt in front of the house and Vanessa alighted as her mouth hung open in awe. She was aware of the fact that Nathan had a knack for good things but seeing the magnificent building in front of her, she couldn’t help but marvel at the elegance of the building in front of her.“I will take your luggage into the house” Bunny announced and made his way into the house, this was when he came face to face with Audrey who was just coming down the stairs and her forehead creased into a frown when she saw bunny bringing in some weird luggage.“Do we have a visitor?” She asked with an uncertain expression on her face, “Nathan didn’t mention that”Bunny was skeptical for a moment, he didn’t know if he should tell her or not. “Who is it?” She inquired again.“It is Vanessa ma’am” he replied after a while and the look on her face changed slightly, she had a “Vanessa is here?” kind of look on her face.“What did you say?”“Mrs Hernandez asked me to pick her up from the airport” Bun

    “What nonsense are you saying now?” Audrey jumped from the bed while cleaning her eyes, “why would I be in love with him?” An expressionless look was hovering over her face while trying to bite back a tear, “you just got back and you are already feeling insecure about the fact that I love him?”“Do you love him, yes or no?” Vanessa retorted, “it is as simple as A B and C”“I don’t love him” Audrey forced herself to say, “are you satisfied now? Why are you even in my room? Just leave already”“You amaze me every single time Audrey, you killed mum and as if that was not enough for you, you also fell in love with Nathan. What kind of a girl are you?”“The type that will bash your head into a thousand pieces if you don’t get the hell out of the room right now, Vanessa”At first she was happy to see her sister, she was glad Vanessa was around but after seeing the way she acted, Audrey didn’t even want to breathe the same air as her. Everyone in her life had to show her how unimportant she

    With a shoulder shrug, Audrey stomped out of the room and came back a few minutes later with the sandwich sitting beautifully on the tray and pushed it towards Vanessa.“Here”“Thank you” Vanessa collected the tray from her, “what could I have done without you?”“Can I leave now?”“Why don’t you arrange the books on the table?” Nathan added, “that shouldn’t be too stressful for you” he further explained and Audrey rolled her eyes.“Of course”The time was already past eleven when she finished and by the time she was done, her eyes were all puffy and she badly wanted to sleep.“Can I go now?”“Of course” Vanessa answered as she shoved the empty tray into her hands, “i didn’t know you were fit for a waitress”Not bothering to answer the couple, she hurried away out of the room. Her sleep was more important to her now more than ever.“Baby” Vanessa whined, “I want to discuss something with you”“Tell me” Nathan cajoled, his hand caressing the small of her back, “what is it?”“Must Audre

    Bruno hastily picked up the phone when he realized who was calling, seeing the boss calling him at this time meant something was wrong and he was already thinking what could have possibly gone wrong.“Boss,” he said after pressing the phone against his ears.“Jack Salvador, I want you to find everything you can about him”On hearing the name, Bruno heaved a sigh. It didn’t even take long for the boss to find out.“I already have all the information we need about him, boss”This made Nathan to crease his forehead into a frown, now he was not expecting this.“Why?”if I may ask.Bruno heaved another sigh, guess he was going to spill.“I was the one who saved madam Vanessa from him the other day, he wanted to take advantage of her and I was there just in the Knick of time to save her”“What!!!!” Nathan was taken aback and angry, “how dare that bastard and why didn’t you tell me?”“Madam Vanessa was scared on how to go about it, boss”Ace heaved a sigh while massaging the space behind his e

    Jack was taken aback for a split second, this was not what he was expecting his lawyer to say. Stealing the evidence could be possible but killing Vanessa? Was that even a thing? Not like he was scared of killing her but there was more to this than what meets the eye.“Stealing the evidence could be possible but killing her? I don’t even know where she is at the moment”“Then we will have to find her” The attorney added while Salvador cleared his throat.“Can we find another way to do this? I can’t let things go haywire and ruin my reputation, killing that girl now is not right. Everyone is on this case and if anything happens to her, Jack will be blamed”“Dad is absolutely right” Jack chipped in and his father sent him a deadly glare.“Very well then, I will look into this case more and think of a more possible solution. We are not appearing in court until next week so I will have enough time to prepare for it”“Very well then, I will be waiting for you then”“Sure”After exchanging h

    “What wrong did I possibly commit that is not worth your forgiveness, sir? '' Audrey cried out, “I only did what your mum asked me to do and why will I dare to lie to the almighty Nathan Hernandez on my own? I am not that fearless to come to your territory on my own?”“That’s the more reason why you should stay away from me, the more I see you the more I get pissed” after talking, he made to move again.“Nathan” she called almost in a whisper, “I am sorry please” by now the tears she was struggling so hard go contain came bursting out of her eyes, “I know no amount of words will satiate your anger right now but I am telling you the whole truth Nathan, I swear I didn’t mean to hurt you in the way that I did”“But you did and that’s your biggest truth so why am I the bad person if I want to punish you?”“Nat….” The words hung in her throat when Vanessa appeared by the door and she didn’t look happy in the slightest.“Really Audrey?” She sneered, “I just left the room for one minute and y

    Audrey held the pillow to her forehead for a while, she didn’t want to listen to what her sister had to say. Accusing her of killing their mother has been a trauma she had to go through since she was fifteen and up to this very moment, Vanessa and her father always used that to torture her and it was the only way they could get through her thick skin.“Why are you shying away from the truth?” Vanessa yelled as she yanked the pillow away from her hand, “you really don’t want to hear the truth? You don’t want to hear the fact that you are a murderer and nothing more”“Stop calling me a murderer!!!” She bellowed and that was when the door pushed open again and this time, Bunny entered.The look on his face changed when he saw the two sisters fighting and his heart broke into a thousand pieces when he saw the tears that were falling out of Audrey’s eyes.

This was big news, he couldn’t keep it to himself.The person from the other end of the line answered the phone on the second ring and muttered a deep husky, “hello”“Good morning boss” Bruno greeted immediately.“Yes, tell me” Nathan ordered, “why have you called so early?

He didn’t flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.“Hey, you”“Aren’t you excited to see me?” Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.“You are finally here” Xavier forced himself to say, “i actually thought you might not come back but here you are”“Are you upset?” Bianca couldn’t help but ask him as he came face to face with her, “why…“Why?” Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, “how can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v

    Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.“I can see you are all ready to leave?” She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.“Yes aunt” she replied, “fashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to things”“Well” aunt Aurora shrugged, “your flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, child”A small frown appeared on Bianca’s forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.“Of course aunt” she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, “I am all ears”Aunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.“My dear” she began almost immediately, “don’t you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?”The frown on Bianca’s face intensified and s

    The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the

It was already an hour to his flight, he didn’t want to miss it. As much as he wanted to stay with Paige, he knew Esperanza also needed him.So with that at the back of his head, he heaved a sigh before walking up to Paige who looked like she was about to cry.“Are you really leaving?” Even if she was just a child, Paige had come to love Nathan more than anything in the world. She was not aware of her relationship with him yet but despite that, she loved him more than the world,“I thought you said you wanted to stay with me”Nathan gently cupped her tiny hands in his own hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead, he felt like a groom leaving his wife behind at the wedding alter,“I have to leave, princess” he said after a while, “something urgent came up and I have to go okay?”“But can I come with you?” Tea

    It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasn’t he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, “it is already so late and you are here?”“Can we talk?” The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, “I can not sleep and I think we should talk”Bianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didn’t want to wake her up.“What exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?” She akdes again, “we have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to you”“We can either talk here in our daughter’s presence or away from her hearin

    Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.“What are you saying, Bianca?” He was completely lost for words.“You like me, don’t you?” She asked from the other end, “I think we should get married, what do you think?“Why are you suddenly saying all this, B?” He couldn’t help but ask, “did Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?” She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.“You know what?” Bianca began to talk again, “it was a mistake” not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a

Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.“I thought you were not going to come” he said while taking slow steps towards her“And here I am”Louisa answered, “we should get straight to business”After talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o

    A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.“Boss” he greeted, “you sent for me”“I have a job for you, Augusto” he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.“I am at your service boss” Augusto answered, “just give the order”“Louisa called,” the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible! How did she even get Stefan’s number again?“You are surprised right?” Stefan inquired, “I can see the look on your face” he puffed smoke out of his mouth again.“I have not heard her name for years now boss” Augusto respo

    It was already past seven in the evening when Nathan made his way downstairs from his daughter’s room. After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didn’t want to stay in a house full of women.“Where are you going?” Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, “I cleaned up the guest room for you,” she added.“Thank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on her”“Did you tell Bianca you were leaving?”He shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,“She wouldn’t care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I really appreciate”“I am doing it for my niece and not you, Nathan” she told him and he nodded at her.“I will take my leave now”Aunt Aurora didn’t bother to stop him, she knew he was going through a lot too.
