Getting a Contract

Sheila’s POVWorking on my online course project had kept me busy for most of the morning. The details were quite stressful, but I enjoyed working on it.Moreover, I needed something to take my mind off everything that had been happening lately. I had just finished drafting my presentation when my phone rang.“Hello, is this Sheila Walker?” a sharp voice on the other end asked.“Yes, speaking,” I replied.“I’m calling from Premier Events. We received a recommendation for you, and we’d love to discuss the possibility of you joining us as an event planner.”I sat up straight. “I’m sorry, who recommended me?”“You came highly recommended by someone who mentioned your work on past events, including a gala. We'd like to meet with you to discuss the terms and see if you'd be interested in joining our team.”The gala? My mind instantly went to Grandpa and Grandma. They had praised me so much for organizing their anniversary event that it had to be them.I smiled, the thought warming me insid

Negotiating Terms

Fiona's POVI took a deep breath and tried to calm myself as I walked into the hospital.“You need to stay calm, Fiona,” I muttered to myself as I kept a confident demeanor and walked to Stevenson’s hospital room, as the nurses at the reception had directed.Stevenson was in there, recovering, but I knew he could ruin things for me and Caspian if I didn’t handle things well. I had planned out everything I wanted to say to him, hoping he would listen to me. I wanted to appeal to the part of him that might still understand.Pushing open the door to his room, I was greeted by the quiet hum of machines and the sterile scent of antiseptic. A nurse stood by his bed, administering an injection into his arm. My eyes fell on Stevenson, and he glanced at me too. He looked a bit weary, but his eyes were clear, sharp, and—unexpectedly—calm.I had braced myself for him to yell, to hurl accusations the moment he saw me. Yet, there was no anger in his expression. Instead, his gaze was cold. “Nurse,

Kidnapped

Andrew's POVI sat at the round table in the private room of one of the city’s upscale restaurants, surrounded by four men, each representing their own companies. We’d come together to discuss the thorn in all of our sides—the Lyons Group. As I took a sip of my coffee, I kept my tone calm but firm.“They’ve been poaching our clients for months,” I began, locking eyes with each of the men. “The Lyons Group has no respect for proper business practices. They’re not just competing fairly; they’re undercutting contracts, making underhanded deals, and smearing our reputations to steal our business.”The men exchanged glances, nodding in agreement. Jackson, the head of The Elite Group, leaned forward. “It’s true. We lost a major deal last week because they spread rumors about our reliability. It's getting out of hand.”Mark, a well-known real estate mogul, chimed in, his voice gruff. “Same here. They’ve been circling my clients like vultures, offering ridiculous incentives just to get them

Celebration Time

Stevenson’s POV“Congratulations, Mr. Grayson. You managed to get Mrs. Grayson to sign her shares over to you. A huge victory,” he said, his voice filled with admiration.I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms with a satisfied smile. “Thank you. But you didn’t need to tell me that—I already know.”His eyes glimmered with curiosity. “I have to ask, how exactly did you manage it? I’ve known Mrs. Grayson for years, and she’s no fool. Yet, you convinced her to hand over her shares?”I chuckled proudly. “Let’s just say I have my ways around women. Fiona may think she’s invincible, but I know exactly how to handle her.”My lawyer raised an eyebrow, looking quite impressed. “So, now that you have her shares, will you challenge your daughter for the CEO position?”I waved off the suggestion instantly. “Not yet. Timing is everything, and it’s not time. Phoebe thinks she’s in control, but she’s just keeping the seat warm for me. When the moment’s right, she and her husband will realize tha

Revealing a bitter truth

Sheila’s POVI stirred awake, blinking against the light flooding into my eyes. My head pounded as I groaned, trying to make sense of where I was. The room felt old, dark and gloomy. Faded wallpaper peeled from the walls, and the wooden floor creaked. A broken chair stood in the corner, and a painting of a wilted flower hung above.Then it hit me. The woman. The restroom. The spray. I jolted upright, my heart racing as the memory slammed into me. I had been sprayed with something, and before I blacked out, I vividly remembered seeing a man. But his face... I knew I saw his face and it was familiar, but I just couldn't remember now no matter how hard I tried.I threw off the blanket that covered me and stumbled toward the door. My hand gripped the handle, twisting it desperately, but the door didn’t budge. It was locked. My chest felt tight, and I started breathing faster. Where was I? And, most importantly, who had brought me here?

Exposed secrets

Stevenson’s POVI turned sharply when I heard the cold voice behind me, and there he was—Caspian.Caspian wore all black—black jacket, black shirt, and dark jeans. His black cap covered the upper part of his face, making him look like a spy or something. Seeing him instantly soured my mood."What the hell are you doing here?" I snapped sharply at him, annoyed by his presence.Shepherd, sitting beside me, looked confused. "What's going on?" he asked, but I didn’t bother answering him. My focus was locked on Caspian, and whatever nonsense he was about to pull."If you know what's good for you," Caspian said calmly, stepping closer, "you'll return those shares Fiona transferred to you."I glared at him and couldn’t help but laugh mockingly. "Oh, Fiona has already told you? That's very good. At least you should know the price she paid for your sorry ass. As for returning those shares," I looked him dead in the eye and declared

Spiraling Out of Control

Stevenson's POVThe world felt like it was closing in around me. Caspian’s words echoed in my head, repeating over and over like a nightmare I couldn’t escape.“You’ve been raising a child that isn’t even yours.”Those words hit me like a thunderstrike. My hands shook as I grabbed my keys, barely noticing Shepherd’s distant voice calling after me. I couldn’t hear him. I couldn’t hear anything.I stormed out of the building, my mind racing. I had to confront Fiona, had to make her explain this madness. There was no way this was true. It couldn’t be. Phoebe was mine.She had to be mine. But Caspian’s smug face wouldn’t leave my mind, that stupid smile when he showed me that picture—him and Fiona locked in a kiss. Fiona appeared younger in that picture, which confirmed that she had indeed known Caspian before she even met me.How come? How was this even possible?I fumbled with the keys as I opened my car door, almost dropp

Revealing a Bitter Truth 2

Sheila's POVI stared at Simeon, my heart pounding in my chest. His words echoed in my mind like a bad dream I couldn’t wake up from."Evelyn is Andrew’s dead wife," I said, as a matter of fact, refusing to believe what Simeon had just told me.Simeon’s expression looked dead serious, his ever-smiling face long gone as he looked me directly in the eye.“Evelyn isn’t dead, Sheila. She’s been in a coma for a long time. Andrew just needed someone to fill the void, someone he could use as a stand-in for his perfect world, and he chose you. It’s just a pity that you look so much like Evelyn, making you the perfect candidate for his schemes.”I froze. My breath caught in my throat as I struggled to process his words. This couldn’t be true. It didn’t make any sense. Andrew had told me—he had told me that Evelyn was dead. She WAS dead.Tears stung my eyes before I even realized a lone tear had escaped my eyes. I wiped them away quickly,

The Clock is Ticking

Andrew's POV I slammed my hand on the table, the loud bang echoing through the room. Glasses rattled, and I felt a sharp sting in my palm. But the pain was nothing compared to how frustrated I felt right now. Simeon had taken Sheila—and Evelyn. How could this be happening? How did he even manage to take both of them? I grabbed my phone again and tried calling Killian. The screen flashed, but the call wasn’t going through. How would I be able to call Killian and confirm all this? I gritted my teeth and forced myself to focus. I had just been given an address to meet Simeon, and he had given me only fifteen minutes to get there. I glanced at the clock. I didn’t have much time left. My mind raced. I wanted to drive to the local charity hospital and confirm if Evelyn was still there. But there wasn’t enough time. If Simeon was really holding her hostage, there was no telling what he might do to her if I didn’t ar

A lone tear

Sheila’s POV I watched the screen in front of me, unable to tear my eyes away from it. It showed Andrew as he ran towards the east wing, where Evelyn supposedly was. My heart stopped for a second, then shattered into a million pieces. He chose her.I tried to convince myself not to feel hurt. Andrew had told me before that he didn’t love me, so why was this affecting me so much? Yet, no matter how hard I tried to hold it back, the tears started welling up in my eyes. He chose to save a comatose woman over me.I blinked rapidly, trying to stop the tears from falling, but it was useless. They slipped down my cheeks, each one a reminder of how much I had allowed myself to hope, despite knowing the truth.Suddenly, I felt a gentle hand wiping my tears away. Startled, I looked up to see Simeon standing beside me. He didn’t say a word, but the look in his eyes…it wasn’t the smirk I had expected. There was pity in them, and somehow, that made
