Chapter 44;Turned down

“Why can't he just stop?” Rowan paced in his closet.Everything his grandad had told him replayed like a tape in his head, rewinding occasionally to the parts where he said things of great significance.He ran his hand exasperatedly through his hair as he walked out of his large frabjously illuminated closet and into his bedroom. He paced the area around his bed then sat on his bed.“I like Page. No, I love her and I cannot watch another man sway her off her feet and make her desert me. For days, weeks and months now I have admired and adored her but only lied to myself every single time. I cannot contain my feelings. I cannot keep my feelings hidden anymore lest my heart would explode watching Will profess his undying love for my irresistible wife that has caught the preying eyes of menacing men ready to pounce like predators at any given time,” he reasoned. He fell back on his bed and stared at the ceiling for more than thirty minutes, trying to decide what he thought was right to

Chapter 45;Self exposure

Katherine handed Page her cup of coffee as she got into the car beside her. A waft of its sweet aroma danced around her nostrils, causing her to beam. What would I do without her, she smiled.In her hand was exactly what she needed. A cup of Nitro cold brew. She had made it a venti with sugar-free vanilla syrup, mocha sauce, an extra splash of oat milk, caramel sauce-lined cup, three shots of blonde espresso roast, cinammon powder on top with no whipped cream. Page was stressed and Katherine knew that at that time of the day, the higher Page's stress, the more caffeinated her drinks had to be. Page was headed for her fifth meeting that day. Surprisingly, it was just noon. She sipped from her straw and ordered her chauffeur to continue driving. They were on their way to the corporation Simon wanted to transfer ownership to them, the hotel. An apt tour around his hotel was their sole aim that day as the one for his resort had been carried out the previous week. Finalization of her de

Chapter 46; small world

Page had told Katherine about the arrest of Irene and Frank, the persons that actually stole her file. She wasn't entirely convinced that Simon had something to do with it.“How do we know that they are telling the truth? How do we know that they aren't hiding something?" Katherine had asked.“During the three interrogations, they said they were the only ones involved in it. I had initially suspected Simon but he has nothing to do with this,” Page had said, firmly."I just knew he played a role in all these," Katherine said as they trailed the cops car."That man is beastly and evil. Take me to his island in Greece? Have his ‘ideal fun’ with me?” she scoffed.“Anyway, thank you for making me take an audio and video recorder with me to his office. I never knew it would be of great help,” Page said."I was glad to help ma'am,” Katherine beamed, happy that her boss was relieved.After Katherine had told Page that Simon might actually have something to do with the theft of her property, s

Chapter 47; Spills

Page blinked incredulously, looking from Rowan to Will then, to the ground. “What is this?" She said under her breath, her breathing hitched and erratic.Beads of sweats began to appear on her face as she taciturnly pleaded for the ground to open up and swallow her. The feeling of guilt was overwhelming; it clouded her vision and sense of reasoning. It felt as though her necklace and bra had become uncomfortably tight, making her feel like she couldn't breathe properly.“Why did I do it? I shouldn't have. I knew I shouldn't have. . ." She shook her head in utter guilt of her actions. She took two steps forward and lost her balance, almost falling back. Before Will and Rowan could reach her to hold her, she balanced herself, took one last glimpse at Rowan and walked out of the office in a haste. All that happened like a flash of lightning. She walked as though someone was on her tail in the company, keeping her gaze down until she was outside and had gotten into her car. She threw

Chapter 48; Cheated

“They know themselves?”“Yes, they do," Page was pacing Lina's sitting room with a hand on her forehead and the other on her waist."How could that be?” Lina's eyebrows furrowed as she sat down at the edge of a chair."I am on the verge of going crazy Lina. My head is ticking like an atomic bomb,” Page sat on the chair parallel to Lina's. “How bad do you think this is?"“Beyond measure. Rowan as well as his grandad was there. The look on Rowan's face when I looked at him before walking out of that office made me regret everything I did. Unknowingly making matters worse, I did not properly acknowledge Rowan presence. I called Will's name before his, making it evident that we know ourselves really well. That's exactly how bad it is Lina, beyond measure,” Page cried out, dragging her necklace from her neck, cutting it in the process and throwing it to the floor. She was without a doubt, restless. “You have to calm down Page. Panicking wouldn't solve anything," Lina said.“I’m scared Li

Chapter 49; Dispute

“How could I what?" Page asked, her heart was beating profusely.‘Please Lord, let this not be about what I think it is. Did he find out about my acquittance with Will?’ she cried within. Rowan was getting angrier and impatient. He flung his jacket across the sitting room and got up with a straight face.At this, she was trembled in fear, not liking how mean he looked and acted.“I neither have the time nor the strength to stand here and watch you play dumb with me. I do not like it when people try to take me for a ride. You know too well what I am talking about," Rowan said."Seriously Rowan, I do not have an idea of what you are talking about,” she shook her head slowly with furrowed eyebrows.“Then you would rather I spell it out for you, right? Ok. What relationship do you have with Will? Let's forget he is my best friend as you never knew he was. Let's regard him as another man outside this union. Now, tell me what I need to know," Rowan stony eyes held Page's face."I do not ha

Chapter 50; Suicide

An unhesitated step after the other, she took, not looking back, not stopping to rethink her decision. No one was around that area at that time of the night so sadly, no one could drag her out and scold her for going that deep into the sea. Technically, Page was a lady with many talents and skills but swimming was not one of them. She only knew the techniques in swimming but never practiced them on her own or succumbed to learning how to swim from her sport instructor. Her slight interest to learn how to swim after Lina had persuaded her got incinerated when she once went on a hangout to the beach with her and watched a man who had said he was a professional swimmer go into the sea to save a little girl who had been swept by a strong wave but never came out. His fiancé –he had engaged her the day before– who had tried to dissuade him from doing so swore to drown herself if he did not get out of the water safely with the little kid. She had screamed and cried and writhed when people

Chapter 51;Rebounded

Lina had kissed Derek goodbye and apologized to him for not being able to go home with him that night. Page's door was locked and Lina was on her bed, sitting with her legs folded whilst Page was laying on the bed in her nightdress, listening to Lina talk.Page had asked Lina how they knew she was on the beach and why they had all come together. She laid quietly as Lina began to vividly explain. She told Page that from the time she left her house to her home till the time she decided to go check up on her, she was apprehensive. Derek had paid her a surprise visit with an alluring bouquet of flowers that consisted of Mallows, Nemophila and Red carnations, all having their significant meanings and sending sweet sentimental messages to her. Mallow is considered an aphrodisiac and can inflame the passion of one who smells it. Nemophila says you are my one and only and Red carnations symbolizes appreciation and eternal love. She had donned his face with kisses and they had made some popco

Chapter 52; Heat

“Cancel my morning meetings Katherine, I have something I have to attend to but I would be at the office before noon. Hopefully,” Page said to Katherine over the phone.“Yes ma'am," Katherine replied before the call came to an end.Page wore her intoxicating but soft floral mix and walked out of her room. Rowan was no where to be seen when she got down the stairs so she comfortably left without having to deal with his presence. She had called her youngest chauffeur that morning because she did not feel like driving. He opened the door to the car she felt like going to work in that morning; a flashy red car.“You look extraordinary today Miss Page,” he complemented her."Thank you. New day, new me,” she smiled and got into the car when she took off her sunglasses.Her chauffeur didn't understand her statement fully but brushed it off and closed the door. She rocked an entirely different style that morning. She was on a cream long-sleeved shirt and likewise, a cream loose-fitting high-

Chapter 53; Superfluous error

“I was asking why you told Rowan we have shared a kiss," Page uttered, reminding him the question she had asked before he changed the topic. “It's complicated Page," Will sighed and answered.“What do you mean it's complicated?"“I mean that you would not understand why, obviously."“I am not dense Will. You have not told me anything yet so I do not get why you would assume I would not understand whatever you want to say,” Page said, putting her sunglasses down on the table in front of her. She knew she would be able to understand his reasons as long as he explained them clearly to her. Someone telling her she was not going to understand something without having said anything often irked her. Will was quite as he thought of the best way to explain things to Page.“The thing is…” he trailed off, taking a breath. Page wore a look that urged him to go on. She was starting to get tired of the suspense.“Okay so, I told Rowan that we kissed to punish him emotionally for disrespecting y
