11: A Warning
Sasha's eyes blazed with fury as she watched Nathaniel walk away. She couldn't believe that Ethan had messed up her carefully laid plans. She had spent weeks trying to get Nathaniel's attention, and finally, she had him right where she wanted him. But then Ethan had to go and ruin everything.How could he appear out of nowhere to spoil what she had planned, what if Avery suddenly popped out of nowhere, how was she going to protect herself? She turned to look at Ethan, her anger inevitable, it took a lot of self-control not to pounce on him. "You idiot!" she screamed, turning to face Ethan. "How could you be so stupid?"Ethan took a step back, looking taken aback by her anger. "Hey, I was just trying to know what you are trying to do, it seems you forget you have a man," he said, his voice defensive."I have a man?" Sasha laughed, a cold, angry sound. "You call yourself a man? You just ruined everything!"Ethan's face reddened with anger. "I'm tired of being treated like dirt, Sasha.

AveryI stared at my phone, my eyes glued to the screen as I watched the news. Montgomery Pharmaceuticals, the company that had almost been the death of me, was launching new drugs to cure mpox infections. A wicked smile spread across my face as I remembered the last time they had tried to launch a new drug. It was the same drug that had almost led to my demise, the same drug that had caused my whole family to betray me.I couldn't believe how long they had lived without any care in the world, oblivious to the pain and suffering they had caused me. My mind began to wander, consumed by thoughts of revenge and betrayal. I tried to shake off the memories, but they lingered, haunting me like a ghost.I took a deep breath and dialed Nathaniel's contact, my fingers moving swiftly over the screen. He answered on the first ring.“Avery? Are you okay?” He asked. "Hey, where are you?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. My emotions were biting me off and it was just too hard to keep calm. "I

NathanielI was exhausted, staring blankly at my computer screen as I tried to finish my work. But my mind kept wandering, and my eyes felt heavy with fatigue. I couldn't wait to go home and collapse onto my bed. I needed to get this done as soon as possible and go back home, I know I could work from home but I will end up falling asleep before I know it. Just as I was starting to focus, my phone rang, shrill in the silence. I groaned, not wanting to answer it, but something compelled me to pick up. I was shocked to see Avery’s name on the screen, I became worried immediately and picked up the call. I heard her voice trembling.I was shocked knowing something was wrong immediately. She never called me unless it was absolutely necessary, and even then, she usually referred to me as Mr. Hart, a reminder of our professional relationship. But today, she called me Nathaniel, and I knew something was wrong.My heart skipped a beat as I listened to her stammering on the phone. I tried to ca

Avery “Oh, Avery! How are you doing?” He asked as if he hadn’t expected me to come to his room, I smiled a bit and moved closer to Nathaniel, my eyes cast downward in embarrassment. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Hart," I whispered. "I'm so sorry for vomiting on you and messing up your clothes. For crying and everything, I shouldn’t have bothered you with my problems.” I laughed awkwardly. Nathaniel noticed how my fingers were crossed, I had never felt so nervous in a while and his expression softened, he stood up took his eyes off my hand, and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "It's okay, Avery," he said, his voice soothing. "Please, don't apologize. You're not well, and I'm just glad I could help. You know I told you, you can always come to me when anything is going wrong with you, okay?” I hated this! Why did I let my emotions get the best of me and I became vulnerable? My eyes were fixed on the floor as I replayed the events of the previous day in my head. I hated how vulnerable I h

Sasha turned to leave, but Ethan caught her arm, his eyes wide with shock. "Wait, what did you just say?" he asked, his voice trembling.Sasha turned back to face him, a sly smile spreading across her face. "I said I intend to seduce Nathaniel," she repeated, her voice dripping with malice.Ethan's eyes widened in horror. "What? Why would you do that?" he demanded, his grip on her arm tightening.Sasha shrugged, her smile never wavering. "I need power, Ethan. And you can't offer me that."Ethan's face fell, his eyes filling with hurt. "Our relationship means nothing to you, does it?" he asked, his voice cracking.Sasha's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure, she didn’t want him to remind her of everything that had happened in the past, Ethan was not just the man she needed anymore. "Don't be dramatic, Ethan," she said, her voice cold. "Our relationship was always about convenience. You needed a partner, and I needed a way to advance my career."Ethan's eyes na

Avery I tapped my finger impatiently on the table, waiting for Nathaniel to join me. I wondered what was going on and why he suddenly walked out of the table, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was something that had to do with me. I tried not to worry or care about what was going on but I couldn’t help it, I knew something was wrong somewhere, I needed to find out what was truly going on but at the same time I felt I was prying into his privacy, perhaps it’s nothing that I have to bother about. Just then while I was getting drowned in my thoughts, Nathaniel walked in, his usual composed demeanor replaced by a troubled expression. His eyes seemed distant, and his jaw was clenched. I confirmed something was wrong immediately, for the little time I have known him, he was always composed and his demeanor never slipped.He sat down on the table looking at his food as if he was avoiding his gaze and I didn’t realize when the words slipped out of my mouth. "Mr. Hart, is everything okay?"

NathanielI excused myself from the dinner table, my phone buzzing in my pocket, I pulled out my phone and noticed it was Emily, my grandma’s caregiver who was calling me, I knew something was up immediately that caused my heart to skip a beat, I rushed out of the dining hall, answering the call."Mr. Hart, it's Emily, your grandma's caregiver," the voice on the other end said, panic evident in her tone.My heart sank immediately. "What's wrong? Tell me what happened Emily.” "It's your madam, Hart, Mr. Hart. Her health has taken a turn for the worse. We've rushed her to the hospital, I decided to let you know immediately, the doctor is already taking care of her.” I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I swallowed hard trying to hide my emotions. "I'll be right there," I promised, trying to stay calm. I instructed Emily to stay with my grandma and assured her I'd arrive soon. “You will see me soon,” with that, I ended the call and placed my phone in my pocket. I took a deep breat

Ethan nursed his drink, the music fading into the background as he struggled to comprehend the chaos in his mind. The dim lights of the bar seemed to mock him, a harsh reminder of his shattered dreams.How could this have happened to him when he thought he had his whole life together when he thought he figured everything and things would surely work the way he wanted? He thought back to Sasha, the girl he'd known his whole life. He'd fallen deeply in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. He'd done everything in his power to make her happy, even marrying Avery when Sasha asked him to. But now, she was discarding him like yesterday's trash, all for Nathaniel.A man who doesn’t care about her, a man who doesn’t know where it all started from and they want him to just give up? On something he had worshiped and hoped for his whole life.The absurdity of it all hit Ethan like a ton of bricks, and he burst into laughter. The sound echoed through the bar, drawing curious glances from

NathanielI smiled warmly at my grandma, concern etched on my face. "Grandma, please rest. We can discuss helping the Montgomerys later." I said slowly massaging her palm but the look in her eyes showed she wasn’t ready to give up just yet. She insisted, her eyes sparkling as she locked her gaze with mine. "Nathaniel, dear, I'm fine. We can't just…"I gently interrupted, my voice firm. "Grandma, please. You need to recover first. Your health comes first before anything and I assure you we will talk about this later but this is not the right time to discuss this.” Just as she relented, the hospital room door swung open, and Sasha Montgomery walked in, her mother beside her. They carried a bouquet of vibrant flowers, their faces bright with smiles.My expression turned icy. How did they know Grandma was here? Our families had never been close, and I couldn't fathom why they were suddenly acting like long-lost friends. What are they doing here? Isn’t Grandma’s health supposed to be con

AveryI paced back and forth in my room, my eyes fixed on my phone. Where was Clara? I needed updates on Nathaniel's whereabouts. The silence was suffocating, and my mind conjured up worst-case scenarios. I know he is not the kind of person to suddenly show emotions, but I could see how worried he was the other time. Just as I was about to give up hope, my phone rang."Clara!" I exclaimed, answering the call."Hey, Avery! I've got news," Clara said, her voice laced with excitement."What is it?" I asked, my heart racing."Nathaniel's grandma fell sick, and he was rushed to the hospital," Clara explained.I exhaled a sigh of relief. "That's all?""No, there's more," Clara continued. "Your stepmother and sister visited Madam Hart too. I was shocked when my source told me about it, I don’t know when both families became that close.” “Sasha and her mom must have a plan if they visit Madam Hart,” I said my curiosity piqued. "Do you know why?"Clara hesitated. "No idea, but I have a bad f
