Stirring Of Jealousy 2

Stunned by Greg's uncharacteristic display of anger, Lily's eyes welled up with tears, her lower lip trembling as she fought to maintain her composure. Never before had she been on the receiving end of such vitriol, particularly from someone she held in such high regard.With a deep, shuddering breath, Lily found her voice once more. "Mr. Davis," she began, her tone equal parts hurt and bewildered, "I'm sorry if my actions have upset you. However, I believe your reaction is unwarranted. I was merely being polite to Jake earlier, as any professional would be."Greg seemed to waver, his anger dissipating as he took in Lily's wounded expression. He ran a hand through his hair, the weight of his words settling heavily on his shoulders. "You're right, Lily," he admitted, his voice subdued. "I shouldn't have snapped at you like that."A strained silence enveloped the room as Greg struggled to navigate the turbulent emotions roiling within him. Lily, her heart aching from the unexpected con

She lounged on the couch, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she commended him, "You've proven your worth, so it's time to move on to Plan B. Lily and Greg will be departing tomorrow, and I want you to follow suit the day after. Should my plan come to fruition, I assure you that your loyalty will be richly rewarded.

I'll be there." Jake, filled with excitement, responded, "We have so much catching up to do, beautiful!" Lily couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

Two Faced

Greg walked in with Megan following closely behind him. They found Lily and Louis engrossed in their show. Greg cleared his throat, and the butler arrived to assist with the luggage. The butler felt nervous upon seeing Megan, and Greg took note of this."Prepare a guest room for her upstairs," Greg instructed, wanting to monitor Megan during her stay. He aimed to avoid any drama, as Megan was a spoiled rich princess who didn't care about anyone's feelings. In the past, she had hurt Mrs. Owen with her harsh words and humiliated her, which ultimately led to Greg breaking up with her. If it were possible, Greg would have Megan move into his room, but he didn't want any misunderstandings or drama, so he prepared a guest room closer to his own.Megan noticed Lily and made her way to the living area. "Aren't you his personal assistant?" she asked.Lily stood, nodding a polite greeting, and replied, "Yes, ma'am."Louis greeted Megan, as he was familiar with her face, and said, "Hi, Meg."Meg

I Won't Forgive Her!

Cherry, now annoyed, confessed, "Yes, I said those things to her. But do you know why? Because you don't value me! Greg, I stood by your side during your lowest moments, but you always treat me like trash. Why?"Greg, visibly annoyed, retorted, "I made it clear to you that I never loved you. I just tolerated you because of our friendship. But you just don't listen. Now look what you've done! You tried to kill an innocent person under my roof when she never did anything wrong to you. Why are you so evil, Cherry?"Cherry denied the poisoning accusation vehemently. "I didn't poison her! I swear I didn't! I said those words, but I didn't poison her!"Cherry stamped her heels in frustration, pleading, "Why won't you believe me? I didn't try to hurt her, Greg! Ask Megan how she knew I poisoned her, unless she did it herself."Megan scoffed, "How can I poison someone I don't even know?"Cherry questioned, "Then how did you know about all of this?"Megan explained, "Because I still have a mai

Danger Lurks

The next morning, Cherry awoke to find her maids diligently cleaning and replacing items in her room. She grabbed her cellphone and made her way to the living room. She attempted to call Jake, but he didn't answer. Frustrated, she sent him a text message, "I told you to come see me yesterday. Why didn't you come?" However, Jake read the message and didn't reply.Growing more agitated, Cherry added, "Don't do anything funny. Stick to my plans." To her shock, Jake blocked her number.Enraged, Cherry immediately called the man who had connected her with Jake. "What's going on with the guy you linked me with?" she demanded. "The bastard blocked me. I've been trying to reach him for a few days now!"The man on the other end of the line sounded just as bewildered. "I've been trying to contact him too, but it seems he's blocked me as well."Now on high alert, Cherry asked, "Do you know anyone we can contact to reach him? Or where he lives?"The man confessed, "I don't know him personally. I

The Search Continues

Greg had spent the night poring over any information he could find that might help locate Lily, his eyes bloodshot and his face etched with worry.Megan entered the study, carrying a tray with coffee and a light breakfast. Setting it down in front of Greg, she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You need to keep your strength up, Greg. Lily needs us to stay strong for her."Greg nodded, taking a sip of the hot coffee and grimacing as the bitter taste hit his tongue. "I just feel so helpless.
