Letting Go

Andrew's POVAs soon as I got home, I saw my mother waiting for me at the door. She didn’t even wait for me to say anything before she threw her arms around me.“Andrew, my son, welcome back! I was just thinking about you! Look at how stressed you look!”But I wasn’t in the mood for her cheerful small talk. I had come back for one reason. “Where’s Sheila?” I asked, cutting her off mid-sentence.She looked at me, surprised, then put on a sweet but innocent face. “Sheila? I don’t know what you mean,” she replied indifferently. But I knew better. Something in her eyes already told me she was just trying to evade the question.I took a deep breath, fighting the frustration gradually building up inside me. “Mother,” I said firmly, my voice growing harder, “where is my wife?”She sighed, her cheerful expression fading. “Alright, fine. I sent her away,” she finally admitted.I froze. So it was actually true… Alfred indeed didn't mince words when he told me Mom had forced Sheila out.“You… se

Winning the Power Tussle

Antonio’s POVI took my time and leisurely walked down the hall toward the conference room. I wasn’t in a hurry; I knew they’d wait for me. The board was as eager as ever for change, and today, I’d make sure they saw me as the key to that change.As I reached the door, I wasn’t surprised to see a few of the directors already inside, waiting. They stood and greeted me as soon as I entered, all nodding respectfully.They offered me the CEO's seat at the head of the table, a gesture that hinted at their intentions. I sat down, settling in with a calm confidence. I had done my homework. The path to the top was well within my reach.Just as the meeting was about to begin, the door burst open, and Phoebe walked in, looking angrier than ever. Beside her was a woman I didn’t recognize, a slight but determined-looking figure who clung closely to Phoebe's side.“Good afternoon, gentlemen,” Phoebe began, her voice sharp and tense. “Would anyone care to explain to me why this meeting is being hel

The Clause

Phoebe’s POVI stood there, staring at Ryan, my family’s lawyer, unable to believe what I was seeing. This man had worked for my father, had stood by his side during some of the most difficult battles in business.And now he was here, seated next to Antonio, wearing a calm, calculating expression as if this betrayal was nothing to him.“How could you do this, Ryan?” I spat, my voice shaking with anger. “How could you betray my family like this? You were my father's lawyer, for crying out loud! You helped build this company with him, and now you’re just handing it over to—him?” I jerked my chin in Antonio’s direction, feeling so disgusted and betrayed.Ryan looked at me, cold and unfazed. “My services were to Mr. Grayson, Phoebe. Now that he’s no longer here, my loyalty goes where it’s rewarded. And right now, that’s with someone who values my skills and compensates me accordingly.”I felt my hands clench, fury building inside me. “You’re disgusting,” I snapped, struggling to keep my v

Devil's incarnate

Phoebe’s POVI watched as the directors’ faces twisted in shock and disbelief, and for a moment, I felt utterly alone, stripped of everything.Ryan’s words echoed in my mind, tearing through every ounce of dignity I had left. I was indeed no longer a Grayson, at least not in the eyes of these men. Antonio had managed to take away my last shred of security, and he was enjoying every second of it.I glanced over at him, catching the faint smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. That smug expression, the one that seemed to say he had been waiting for this moment all along, only fueled the fire inside me. I couldn’t hold back anymore.“You think this is over?” I lashed out angrily. “I will do everything in my power to make sure I take half of what you own in the divorce. You can count on that, Antonio!” I yelled furiously at him.Antonio’s smirk deepened, and with a casual wave of his hand, he signaled to Ryan. My stomach dropped, and dread flooded me as I watched Ryan reach into his br

Divorce Agreement 2

Phoebe’s POVAs I hurried down the hallway, my mind filled with rage and bitterness, I heard someone calling after me.“Phoebe! Wait!” Vivian’s voice echoed through the corridor.I ignored her, quickening my pace, but her footsteps followed, growing louder until she caught up to me.“Phoebe, please, just listen—”I stopped abruptly, turning to face her, my face tight with anger. “Listen? To what, Vivian? To more excuses? I trusted you, and look where that got me.”Vivian’s expression softened, her eyes pleading. “I know things didn’t go as planned, but we can still—”“No!” I snapped, cutting her off. “There’s nothing left. It’s over. Antonio has everything now. No matter what I do, he will always be one step ahead of me and I'm tired of it!”She reached out as if to console me, but I took a step back, folding my arms tightly. “Don’t. I can’t… I just can’t do this right now.”Vivian sighed, her hand dropping to her side, looking helpless. “Phoebe, I know you’re angry, but we’ll find a

Longing Her Presence

Andrew's POV“Here’s to a job well done!” Jackson raised his glass, his voice booming loud. The other CEOs joined in, clinking their glasses and nodding in agreement.“To Andrew!” Mark added, giving me a pointed look. “None of this would’ve been possible without his plan.”“Ah, don’t give me all the credit,” I replied, lifting my glass. “It took all of us pulling together to make this happen.”“But it was your idea,” Jackson insisted, leaning back with a satisfied grin. “The moment you suggested we join forces, I knew we had Lyons cornered.”“Let’s be honest,” Leo chimed in, looking around the table, “the Lyons Group has been a thorn in all of our sides for far too long. They’ve monopolized the market for years. PThey were overdue for a fall.”“And what a fall it’s been,” Cameron added, laughing. “They’re laying off employees by the dozens just to stay afloat. Their stock price plummeted yesterday. It was a wonderful sight to behold as I read the news.”Everyone nodded, happy and sati

James' Visit

Andrew's POVI was deep into the financial reports on my laptop, clicking through pages of data. I leaned back, rolling my shoulders, trying to shake off the tiredness after my long morning meeting with some investors. Just as I was about to dive back in, my phone rang.“Sir, Mr. James is here to see you,” my secretary’s voice came through the phone.“Alright, send him in,” I replied, still half-focused on the screen in front of me. I adjusted my tie absentmindedly and set the laptop aside, waiting.“Andrew,” James called out as he walked in, extending his hand. I shook it firmly, offering a quick nod. "Good to see you, James," I said.“Likewise, man,” he replied, taking a seat across from me.“Everything alright?” I asked.He sat down and nodded. “Of course. I was just passing by and decided to come check up on you. Ever since we settled that criminal’s case, Caspian, at the police station about two weeks ago, I haven't heard from you.”Ah, Caspian. The very name was enough to almost

Apology Gone Wrong

Phoebe's POVI gently pushed my lunch plate aside, my appetite nowhere to be found. I was too tangled in my own thoughts to care about food.Vivian sat across from me, eyes expectant, like she knew I was about to say something, but was waiting for me to start.I was the one who invited her for lunch to apologize, yet I found it difficult to say anything. I cleared my throat, finally breaking the silence."Vivian, I… I want to apologize." The words felt strange on my tongue. They were meant to be sincere, but they came out stiff, like I was forcing myself to say them.Vivian blinked, clearly taken aback, but after a moment, she smiled softly. "Phoebe, it's alright," she said. "I understand. You were just acting out of emotion. It's okay."Her response was not what I expected. I thought she'd be upset with me, that she'd hold a grudge for the way I'd treated her at the company. But she wasn’t. She was understanding, calm, almost too calm. I wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or more f

The Unexpected Return

Andrew’s POVA few weeks later…The day had finally arrived—the one everyone in the family had been anticipating: Grandma’s birthday.It had been a long time since we’d celebrated together, and with everything that had happened recently, I wanted to make sure things went smoothly.This morning, Grandma had called and asked me specifically to pick up some flowers Sheila had been tending to in the garden before she left.Grandma and Grandpa had been asking about Sheila, and I had been telling them for weeks that Sheila was busy with work and had traveled for a job contract.I had hoped to keep the peace for a little longer, but then my mother, whom I had to convince to leave my house later, had let it slip and told them what happened.They were so furious with me when they found out the truth, especially Grandma, who wouldn't talk to me for a while until recently.They’d wanted me to fix things, to convince Sheila to come back, to be part of the family again, but I knew that this wasn’t

Unexpected Reunion

Andrew's POVMy breath hitched as I spotted her, standing there in the doorway, the last person I’d expected to see tonight.Sheila. And beside her—Simeon.The two of them together was something I couldn’t quite process. What the hell was going on? And what was Sheila doing with Simeon?I quickly walked toward them, but before I could reach them, Grandma had already swept over, wrapping Sheila in a warm hug.Her voice was light and excited. “Sheila, my dear! You have no idea how happy I am that you came,” she said, holding Sheila’s hands warmly as if she were her long-lost granddaughter. “It means so much that you accepted my invitation.”I halted just in time to hear her words. Invitation? My jaw tightened, and I closed the gap between us, turning to Grandma.“Grandma, you’ve been communicating with Sheila? And you even invited her here? Without telling me?”Grandma looked at me, a hint of guilt flickering in her eyes. She gave a small, apologetic smile.“I... may have reached out to
