“The venue of the wedding is set” the event planner announced happily Every worker employed was in high spirits. Following the cancellation of the first wedding, most of the workers were skeptical about the second one coming true. When they started seeing Nate around more, they were certain the marriage was going to take place. Nate took his seat beside his terrified looking mother. The whole plan was terrifying and unreasonable to her. At this point, she didn’t care if Wyatt released fake documents about her husband, she was ready to do anything to save her son from the mess he was about to go into.Wyatt himself had been receiving so much heat from the press. An unknown person kept feeding a particular reporter with some of his secrets. She was pleased by that but there wasn’t enough evidence to take him out finally. “It’s a pleasure to see you my dear in-law” Mrs Wyatt said in a singsong voice as she joined them in the living room.“It’s a blessing that we watch our ch

Doris smiled, quite satisfied by all she had done so far. She had Wyatt on the edge and he went about holding interviews and doing charity work to cover up all that she had revealed about him.Her niece on the other hand was doing alright, her career was flourishing and the newspaper provided her with adequate security just in case Wyatt decided to try anything funny. She exhaled as she ensured her scarf was secured tightly around her chin. She couldn’t risk anyone seeing her in public. Someone had told her that Wyatt was offering a huge amount of money to whoever was able to find her, dead or alive.Living most of her life in Oregon had given her an advantage. She could easily find her way around places without being seen.She sighed as she squinted around, her eyes skirting the vicinity to ensure she wasn’t followed.She wasn’t scared of anything and was very rigid but she instantly became a gooey mess when things about her family were brought up. She clutched the documents in

Betrayal. One of the worst feelings Ruby had ever felt. Rage. A feeling she couldn’t control. Most people translated their rage into yelling or some get physical but that wasn’t Ruby’s case. Her feelings were translated into bitterness, a burn in her chest and inevitable tears. “What did you just say?” She whisperedShe had so much to say but her voice failed her. She felt her throat go dry as she stared at the food in disgust. “Ruby, just give me a chance to explain” Nate pleaded as he leaned forward and tried to take her hands in his. He had messed up big time but he needed to assure her that he wanted her. It was still a mystery that after how he had treated her badly when she started working for him, she still stayed with him. How he stood her up on their first date and bombarded her with unnecessary work. “When were you going to tell me this?” Her voice croaked“You treated me like trash but I still stayed with you, I tried to understand that you had so many things

Afternoon rush hour wasn’t Ruby’s favorite. It felt like everyone had left their homes at that moment. There seemed to be endless traffic so Ruby decided to take a walk to the nearest restaurant. Her stomach grumbled as she had nothing to eat throughout the day. She had almost forgotten how refreshing and draining presentations could be. It was refreshing because she got to share her ideas with people and show the world her capabilities but it was draining because she had to put in so much effort and as a perfectionist, she demanded the best of the best.Her conversation with Nate had left them in a more awkward situation, she didn’t let it bother her as she reminded herself that she needed Mark and his team members to approve of her.The job seemed to be her only means of survival when she moved to California, starting up a florist shop didn’t exactly promise to boom with income in the first few weeks. She sighed as she pushed the door of the restaurant. The cold air welcome

The silence in Wyatt’s office was stonier than that of a graveyard. The workers trembled in fear and didn’t dare as much to let out a cough. When Wyatt was angry, he was even more dangerous but now, it was t just anger, it was frustration and humiliation. Those feelings, Wyatt couldn’t stand or control. “Why did Doris have to be this much of a pain?” He had asked himself several times He wished he had ‘taken care’ of her when he had the chance. When wonder had died, he decided to leave Doris alone when he heard she fled the country with her son. He didn’t see her as a threat because he assumed she was a powerless woman. Without her lover by her side, he assumed there wasn’t much she could do, she had no money or assistance, she had lost it all. The part he didn’t see coming at all was her getting revenge for her husband. It had been over ten years and Doris was ready to tear his life apart. “What do you mean you can find her?” Wyatt’s voice was surprisingly low, low but
