Crossroads

As Rhett's Mercedes bumped roughly along the road, the car nearly skidded into a ditch due to the rough handling. Rhett seethed with anger as the article replayed in his head, fueling his frustration. Wearing his Earbuds, he began making calls to track down the source of the online news. After ending the call with Derek, an incoming call from Optimist made him tap his earbuds to answer."I'm not sure if you're prepared for this news, buddy," Optimist's voice hesitated."Give me the name, Optimist!" Rhett shouted, tightening his grip on the wheel."You're driving, Rhett. You need to calm down first," Optimist advised out of concern, but Rhett was too agitated to listen.He abruptly veered the car off the highway, pulling out his phone and tossing the Earbud away. "GIVE ME A NAME!" he demanded firmly and authoritatively."It traces back to your grandfather. He owns 'Fact Talkers,' the platform that first released the article before others reposted it. I'm sorry, I should have handled th

It runs in the family

“Mommy, are you okay?” Kristian’s soft voice finally invaded Ashley’s deep thoughts and she gasped at the realization that her son had been calling her for a while but she wasn’t responding.“Oh sweetheart, I’m sorry… yes I’m fine” she stuttered with hitched breath, battling her lashes anxiously.“How was school today? did anybody tell you something strange?” Ashley turned to face her son seriously. She knows that it’s only a matter of days before people find out her real identity now that the reports didn’t bother to hide her name.Also because she’s a person of interest in the city, many people would have been on her tail already so it’s only a matter of time until Kristian starts having issues at school as well.“Nothing strange happened Mommy” Kristian responded as he grabbed his ice cream pack, his eyes glistening so brightly that it made Ashley feel motivated and energized.Ashley’s lips turned sideways with a smile and she ruffled her son’s hair playfully before stepping out to

Welcome to the party

THE NEXT DAY *Afternoon*“What a perfect fit!” An amused smile crossed the designer’s face as she stared at her work of art that perfectly fitted a goddess’s body.“You’re looking so gorgeous Miss Ashley” she commented once again.Ashley was beyond stunned as well when she glanced over her dress to the tall mirror. From the perfect not-so-tight or loose bodice to the elegant slit and the seductive lower curve at the back.“You’re so good at this Gaureen, I’m glad my assistant found you sooner,” Ashley said, with sparkling blue eyes and a big smile fixed on her reflection.“You flatter me, ma’am. It’s a pleasure to make your dress, you made it worth the pressure and time”Amidst their discussion, a knock came on the door and after a permissive response, Mr.Fred made his entrance.“It’s time to go pick up the young master” he informed.“Oh right! I’ll be right outside soon.” Ashley assured with her hands up. Her face squeezed in the urgency of the information.The designer Gaureen

Trapped

It was as if the whole world had come to an end as all activities in the room became subtly affected, including the slow music but Ashley didn’t flinch.The situation was strange for a while considering how she’d been left alone with no one trying to bother her for a business talk unlike before in all parties.And then, an unfamiliar man came up to her table.Ashley Gu raised her glass of wine with a smirk and took a quick sip as a good chance to glance around without her desperation being widely spread across the room.“Good evening Miss Ashley…” A man appeared, his sparkling brown eyes dousing all other dubi

Ex-Wife Ashley

“She’s not just another woman… She’s my wife!” These are the words that Rhett would love to say but unfortunately got caught in his throat.Not out of fear of his grandfather or Rachel but because he had spotted an unusual face in the crowd. If their big project becomes successful then it would be easier to impress to expand their business all over the world. Impressing this important individual is the biggest step after the Gu family business.The fact that he came to the party personally and under disguise made Rhett rethink in space of a few seconds. Being involved in controversial issues wouldn’t help the company and most especially if he shows himself to be irresponsible. And yet the last question replayed in his head “Why are you defending another woman when you’ve just announced your wedding with your fiancée?”Rhett cleared his throat and raised his mic to address his concerns.“Firstly, this is a happy occasion for everyone present here and it’s very uncalled for to start t

I should have been careful” he muttered with a groan.He waited for a few seconds before he composed himself and strode off to the large gate of a gigantic building that was once his home.Even as a strong man that he is, he could not stop himself from feeling nervous and uneasy. Multiple thoughts play in his head as he stares at the doorbell and back to his car that’s parked right in front of the gate.Finally, he made up his mind and pressed the doorbell but a text came through instead.“The car will be safer inside” When he read the text, his heartbeat picked up race because he had no idea what this woman wa
