The first step

Chapter 91Melissa Within the confines of my car, I let it all out. The hot tears, the sobs that clogged my throat tightly and waited for me to be alone before erupting. I fought back the tears, angry that I was doing little in obliterating the emotional part of me. I disliked the fact that little things could still affect me when I was supposed to just shove it off and move on. Maybe it was because I had high expectations which Dexter had successfully shattered. I dug into my bag in search of my phone so I'd call the only one who genuinely cared about me. Simultaneously my phone rang with his name popping on the screen. "Dad?" My lips trembled as I held back a sob. "Melissa, are you alright? You sound broken. Didn't the meeting go well?" He asked worriedly. He stayed back in Mexico, where his headquarters was situated, then made sure that everything I needed to have a successful stay here in California was provided for. I didn't want to attract attention to myself by living e

An accidental meeting

Chapter 92Melissa By the time I finished discussing with him, I was drained and furious. Leonardo had no idea of how to run a business well. All he knew how to do was spend money on frivolities, including the numerous women he partied with every weekend. I kept track of his lifestyle and from what I'd seen it was very appalling. I could say without a single doubt that every dime he spent was from the company's purse. That was the money made from the jewelry sold and it was to be used to run the company. Apparently, he was busy running his life as he pleased. Having confirmed my suspicions, I stopped by his secretary's office to pass a brief information to her. She was one of my numerous informants I employed to watch Leonardo and since I was already at the office, I just felt that it would be more efficient to tell her what I wanted in person rather than sending a text. Before I returned to California, I called his previous secretary and paid her to quit her job. The tip off was

My heart accepts you

Chapter 93Melissa My palms became clammy with sweat as I avoided his unsettling gaze. It didn't waver, instead he fixed it on like I was the only one who mattered. The only woman in the bar. I cleared my throat since I was becoming more jittery by each passing second. "What would you like to have?" His stoic gaze turned puzzled. "You want to get me something? I think I should be the one doing that since I barged into your privacy." "Well, you did." I chimed in and we both laughed at my snide remark. Then I signaled the waiter to come over. "Why are you in a bar? You should be with your family right now." I forced the difficult question out of my mouth, while gauging his reaction. The atmosphere was already tense even though we didn't act like it, and I didn't want to further heighten it. "Lilly is my only family." He spat coldly. I cocked my head to the side, maintaining a straight look and ignoring the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. "Just Lilly? What about the woman th

A bombshell

Chapter 94Melissa It was three days after I walked out from Dexter at the bar and I was overwhelmed with guilt. The urge to call him and apologize for being rude gnawed in my chest, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I consoled myself with the fact that I'd see him again to sign the contract. Then I'd use a stone to kill two birds by apologizing once we were done. Wearing an Armani dark blue skirt suit added to my confidence as I traipsed out of my condo and headed for his company. My heart beat with anticipation, knowing that Emilia would be present. It was time for the head to become the tail. I got to the building in no time and I stopped by his secretary's office. Since it was a decision that affected the reputation and finances of the company, the board of directors had to be available for the meeting. The boardroom was on the third floor so I headed for the elevator in the hallway. I pressed one of the floor buttons and it dinged

A small win

Chapter 95Melissa Silence reigned in the boardroom but I already knew what the answer was going to be. Resignation glared in their faces and I reveled in it. It was nice being the reason for everyone's silence. Till now, I never believed such a day would come when everyone would try to please me. Whispers went around, while Emilia looked to Dexter whose expression was unreadable for help. I kept a passive look, then began scrolling through my phone to bid time. "We've made a decision." Dexter announced while I dropped my phone aside. "But we'll also like to know why you want Emilia to be your assistant." Great. It was time to employ my philanthropic mode. One that would make me look like the helper and Emilia the true bitch she really was. "My reason is simple. As you all know, I like to offer help in any way I can and I've observed that Emilia is in true need of it. Her career is dying and by taking her to shows and having her work with me, I believe that it will have a great

Boyfriend?

Chapter 96Melissa We had almost gotten to the passenger's seat when I decided to intervene. "I'm not sure Emilia will like this. She might be hurting." I uttered softly, knowing that I was stirring up his emotions. "As if," He scoffed and dropped me on the ground then opened the car door. "First of all, she hurt you first and I'd have to talk to her about it later. Secondly, I don't really care about her, alright? So stop worrying about trivialities and allow me to take care of you." He grumbled, my heart racing faster. "Yes, sir." I replied sarcastically, my body giddy with suppressed excitement and went in. No lies, I was hurting. She'd pulled my hair too hard and if not for the trap I'd set for her, I would have faced her squarely. But this wasn't the time to go physical on her. Using my emotions and acting weak would get more reactions. I silenced my phone intentionally because of the notifications that threatened to cause a malfunction in my device. I'd take care of revenge

An undeniable attraction

Chapter 97Dexter Primal possessiveness stirred up within me while I patiently waited for her response. "What if I said I have one?" A flirtatious smile crept to the crook of her lips as she batted her lashes at me. "I don't think I'll like that." I stated as a matter of fact. Her eyes widened as she wiped her lips with a paper towel. "Why won't you like that? You are not even my friend, yet." She dragged on which only fueled my jealousy—no, not jealousy, maybe it was something else. I couldn't harbor such feelings that could make any man unreasonable. But I definitely didn't want any man around her and I certainly didn't want to be just her friend. I wanted to be much more than that. "Because I don't want you having one." I growled and a spark flickered in her eyes, her sensuous lips parting slightly as she averted her gaze from me. Her tongue ran over her lower lip while I took note of every action. One thing was sure, I'd made her uncomfortable in a good way. "You're very

Rain! Rain!

Chapter 98Melissa "Hi, dad," I greeted as soon as he responded to the call. I was leaning over the window, my eyes trained on the high rising buildings that stretched out of Beverly hills. This was one of the few times I had to admire the city. "Good morning, Melissa. How have you been?" He replied enthusiastically, his warmth creating a sense of relaxation around me. Just by speaking with him, I felt better already, but today, I wasn't on the phone with him just to find solace. I needed a huge favor from him; one that I'd never asked for before. "I'm alright, dad. Well, I called because I need a favor from you." "Tell me what you want." I took in a deep breath with my eyes shut, then spewed out the words. "I want you to buy up the majority of the shares from Hill's Jewelry." I requested. Silence ensued, increasing my anticipation. "If you can't do it, I won't bother you, dad." I said in a rush and he chuckled. "You don't have to say that, Mel, I was just going through the c

Do you know your father?

Chapter 99Melissa Being at Hills Jewelry once again filled me with a sickening surge of resentment. Any time I remembered that Leonardo was still presiding as CEO, a strange kind of anger burned within me. After taking some deep breaths and calming myself, I walked straight into his office. Erica told me beforehand that he was free, but even before she told me, I already knew he would be. He was just a mistake of a CEO and soon, I'd have to speak with the directors that voted him in. He rose to his feet as soon as I walked in, a wry smile plastered on his annoying face. "You're welcome, Miss Rogers. It's such a pleasure to have you here once again." I did an invisible eye roll and shook his outstretched hand, my attention slightly fixed on his seat. Soon, I'd take over his position. Soon. "I decided to stop by because I have a business proposal for you. Trust me, it will bring more benefits for both of us." I informed him a bit enthusiastically. At the mention of busines

A kind heart

Chapter 100Melissa The room suddenly became too hot for me to stay in, but the desire to hear about my father overwhelmed the need for me to get some air. "No, I don't know anything about him." I admitted, my heart racing faster than normal. "Can you tell me his name?" I wasn't sure about what I'd do with his information. I couldn't even begin a journey of finding a man that didn't care to reach out to me, and there were other important things begging for my attention, but at least I'd get to know his name since my late mother never told me about him. She sighed and held my hands. "I'm going to tell you a story. It will be lengthy but you'll get all the answers to your questions if you are ready to listen to me." "Just go on, ma'am, I have all the time." I encouraged her and prepared myself for what she was about to say. "Your late mother was my friend and we ran this business together. She was loving and caring, and knowing that I didn't have much money, she gave me a job when
