All Chapters of A Little Like Fate : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

DELIA "Hey, Charlotte Daniels, how are you?" I asked, sipping my drink and taking peeps at her protruding stomach. It would feel nice to have life growing inside of me, that is if I ever get married. "I'm fine. What about you?" "I'm good. What brings you to my table? Last I checked, you and I never crossed paths without sneering at each other but here we are, talking calmly like we were such great friends in the past. "You're such a killjoy, you know that? Why did you bring that up now? I knew this was a waste of time." She sighed. "Fine, I'm sorry. It just seemed suspicious. I see you got married and from the looks of it, you are doing well for yourself. Congratulations." I smiled. "Thank you, I guess. Yeah, I got married to the one person I couldn't stand in school." She shrugged and smiled. "Don't tell me. Weston?! You married Weston? What happened to the hot ladies you used to hang out with?" "The sexuality stuff was all in my head. I realized I just wanted to feel among a

DELIA I gulped down nothing as I stared at her sparkling eyes. This lady still has a thing for me and the more I think about it, the creepier it becomes. How does she expect me to kiss my fellow gender? Did I ever mention to her that I wasn't straight? Still standing stunned, Laurah walked slowly to me and before I could say Jack, she had planted her lips on mine. I was horrified but I couldn't do anything. My body was glued to the spot, no part of my body was moving. My eyes dilated at the thought of her kissing me like that fateful day in high school. The only difference was that we were alone. As soon as I got back to my senses, I clenched my fist and moved away from her. I cleaned my mouth in disgust as I stared daggers at her. "What gives you the right to do this? Shouldn't this be consensual?" I yelled. "What? Not like you didn't enjoy it. Come on, babe, I've missed you so much. Why are you acting like a kid?" She tried to touch me but I pushed her hand away. She gasped an

DELIA That week at work was normal, as usual. I had short talks with secretary Ellie and I hardly saw Javan and Levi. None of them even texted me even after I dropped countless messages for Javan. Seriously, what were those men up to? I couldn't deny the fact that I was worried. I even had to ask Ellie about their movement but all she could was, "Don't worry, wherever they are or whatever they're doing, I'm pretty sure they're okay. They might be up to a little mischief and probably don't want any disturbance." Though I didn't understand what she meant by mischief, I just had to take her advice. During the lunch break, I had my lunch and spoke to a few people before going back up to my office. I was tired because nothing interesting was happening. Just me replying to necessary emails, signing shipment papers, and going through shady-looking contract terms. I decided to get off work quickly. I wasn't feeling too well either. I gave Ellie my reason for leaving early but she explained

DELIA My fever had reduced a bit and I was ready to resume work during the middle of the week. I had supposedly fixed dates with the three men and I waited for the worst. I wonder what Levi was thinking when he said that. I had already carried my bag and had gone outside when I saw Javan driving in. "About time." I placed my hands on my waist as I waited for him to approach me, just the scenario of a wife waiting for her cheating husband. The only difference was that I didn't have any weapons with me. "Where were you?" I asked, frowning the whole time. "Chill, I was in isolation." He said wearily. "I wanna go inside and yeah, the boss said you should stay home and not bother about work. At least, not after your big dates." He walked past me into the house. "In isolation? What's that about? Are you sick or did you catch some kind of deadly disease? And what's all this about me not working? I am perfectly fine, thank you." I ranted as I followed behind him. He plonked on the couch

LEVI I arrived at my grandfather's manor quite late in the afternoon. He said he wanted to speak to me when he called last night. He mentioned me going over in the morning but I didn't have enough time on my hands so I arrived late instead. Better late than never. I met him in his lounge, sipping some wine and nodding his head slowly to the beat of the jamming country music. I met my brother seated there with a boring look. "You can go back, the time has elapsed." He said on noticing my presence. Grandpa could be a very hard man sometimes but he should also be able to understand that I was busy with my already fixed schedule. There was no way Ellie nor Delia could cancel. "Good evening, grandpa." I sat opposite him, my eyes never leaving his face. He didn't seem annoyed or anything. He just had an indifferent look on his face. "I'm sorry, meetings were already piling up for me and I couldn't cancel them on time. Please, pardon me." I begged, hoping he'd change his mind. He only
