Rachel’s POVI could feel the cold breeze brush against my face as soon as I stepped off the plane. A kind of familiar feeling, the one that brought back to me, the memories I’d long buried within me. But I wasn’t the same Rachel in the past, who had left this country in tears, pain, and humiliation. I had returned different, with a purpose, and nothing could sway me now.It's already been five long years since I ran away from everything that tore me apart, but now I was back, to return to every one of them, the things they had done to ruin me, even if it was just the weight of an atom, I am here to reclaim the honor I had always deserved.The airport was alive, with various people, I remained focused as I walked past them, heading straight for the car that was waiting to pick me up outside. It was a sleek black SUV. Sophia stood there with a bright smile plastered on her face. "Welcome Rachel, how was the trip" she left the door open to let me in. My fashion company had taken off in

Kim's POV.I chose to take today off from work; I have been having some difficulty in running the company with the old fools that were still there, even when I tried to relieve them of the stress that has probably won their thinking over Dad wouldn't allow that.Gulping the whole bottle down my withering throat after some early jogging is the only activity that has kept me alive since a few years back.I thought my marriage with Kim was going to be a castle on air, never have I imagined it could turn to hell just in the blinking of an eye.My wedding with Kim was the talk of the city, such a waste of money and my precious time; Our mom wouldn't stop bluffing, seemed they were a perfect match though.Kim and I had a misunderstanding and she has been avoiding well a blessing in disguise." huff" I sighed in relief as the water did justice to my throat burning of thirst.Footsteps echoed through the revealing Kim to the sight, as usual, she passed by me expecting me to say some things th

RACHEAL'S POV.After what seemed like an hour, Juliet's call came through, informing me what HR had done so far regarding the pre-conference call.It was at the last bit when I asked Juliet to change the physical mode of the meeting to digital.I was planning on letting Arielle, Sarah, and Rayna come over; it should be easier anyway now that Rayna's school is on vacation."I should suggest this to Sarah later".....I muttered under my breath giving myself a mental note to do just that.Elegantly my wide-leg pants hugged perfectly to my hips doing justice to my hourglass body.Exuding confidence and admiration, I marched forward straight to my office. Immediately, I reached my store, arranging my things as usual, in order.As Juliet came in to announce the start of the meeting any moment from now, I felt some waves of panic crashing into me;"you can do this, Racheal; this is just purely business, no attraction, and no lust for revenge right now... it's just a conference call, remember!

NOAH'S POV.Mike's voice disrupted my thoughts, reporting the current issue with Houston since it was the top news now." Can you give it a trier if they tried to put it on sale?"Screwing my eyes in confusion, something is just off......why would Houston be reaching the bottom when they have a multimillionaire like Kelvin as a son-in-law? I don't know if it is worth the risk.Kelvin has stopped funding us, and that caught us off guard; he stopped mine, and now Houston?Lost in my thoughts before Mike's dry cough brought me out of my reverie." You haven't been listening, have you?" He asked why, staring at me, waiting for my reply." Mike, Do you have any idea why Kelvin could have let the Houston sink like that.....don't you find something fishy? I mean, he has caught off our funding, and now he isn't doing anything to help Houston." I knitted my brow in worry as my curiosity got the best of me." Are you trying to say, he is using the company instead of helping them......?"" Does

Kelvin's POV.I was in a meeting when Noah called, it took me every bit of my sanity not to slide it aside to hang it up the moment the call came in.Kim might be a bad bitch sometimes but I wouldn't deny the knot forming in my bowel the moment I got the news.I stared at Kim as she lay down on our bed, snoring peacefully. I have been acting like a jerk these past few years. I wouldn't deny that, but no man in his sanity would love the idea of his wife talking seductively about another man.....I think it is high time I let go of the ill feeling I have long harbored. Maybe Noah was right; she might be innocent in every state I was in.How would I explain to her that Houston's plantation right now is totally out of my capabilities? There is more to it than what people could imagine.I was in the middle of talking to no one in particular, though, with the sleeping Kim, before Noah called again; keeping the guy at arm's length would do me more harm than good.We had some conversations nei
