The Divorce“You good for nothing!” Elena poured and in turn, Sylvia felt the hot palms of Elena connecting with her cheeks – a resounding slap that sent her ears ringing.Sylvia gasped as her hands ran up to hold her cheeks to mellow the impact of the slap. She looked at her mother-in-law with teary eyes.“How could you be so clueless?” Elena barked, her whole body shacking as a result of her raging anger. “Don’t you know how to do anything right? How dare you tell me you want to quit your job? Do you have any idea how much help that particular one has been to us?” she yelled at Sylvia, with reverberating sound echoing through the hallways.Sylvia couldn’t help but stare at her mother-in-law as tears began to roll down her succulent cheeks. She just couldn’t bring herself to utter a word. What had she not done? Sylvia worked four stressful jobs weekly and practically provided for the family. Ever since her husband’s company went bankrupt, Sylvia took over the breadwinner of the house

HomecomingShe took a deep breath, and made her way out of the car as she observed the home she left for a long time now. She quickly made her into the mansion, flipping her eyes around the environment.For four years, she turned her back on them and followed Jasper. She cut off all link and connections with her family because she didn’t want any of them to know her whereabout with Jasper.Sylvia didn’t take the decision of running after Jasper because she despised her family. She did what she did because of her father’s persuasion to marry Douglas – one of the youngest and wealthiest men in all the city of New York and take over the family’s business. She knew this was based on business arrangement but she wanted something else – she wanted to marry for love and that could only be found with Jasper.But now, she realized she’d made the biggest mistake of her life.Maids lined up in their numbers to welcome her as she made her way through the door. She walked past them with her head h

The New CEOThe next day, in the evening, seated on the bed, in her room, Sylvia’s mind wondered in thought to what Douglas said to her yesterday. It was a few hours before the night event. What did he mean by he wants her? At first, thought he could be taking her as a mere commodity but when she began to think deep, she understood what he actually meant, and still left in shock.Could it be that he had been waiting for her for the past four years? Sylvia spent some hours of the night researching his company, and it turned out Douglas was doing pretty well in his real estate business with international recognition. There was no way he could want her because of material gain from her family. So, what could be his motive behind this marriage? These thoughts were clouded in Sylvia’s head.She was quickly jolted out of her reverie by a sudden knock at the door. “Please, come in,” she said, turning to the door. It opened, revealing Allison who held a box in her hand, walking towards Sylvia

Philip's POVI was standing in front of the mirror adjusting my tie. Today, something seemed to be off, but I couldn't quite think of what it was. My phone vibrated breaking me from the train of my thoughts. “Mr. Brooks,” Adrian’s voice came through the speaker, “I think the board is panicking now, the sales are down and they want an emergency meeting, like, now. ” “Christ,” I said aloud, as I raked my fingers through my thinning hair. ”I’ll be there in twenty.“ Taking the keys, I ran out of the house with streams of thoughts in my head. It could not be this bad, could it? We used to dominate the market for quite a number of years. This could only have been a blip, right? Staring off into space, I nearly ran into a kid. I hastily held the brakes and shuddered at the close proximity that nearly claimed th child's life. '‘Bloody hell!’' I cursed as I slammed the car into the park and got out. "Hey, kid! You okay?" The boy then raised his eyes towards me and I could see he was on

Philip’s POVI was at my desk, head resting on my hands, staring at the piles of financial statements that lay before me, wondering how things had got this out of hand. I remember we were on the top and enjoying our success and now... bankruptcy? It didn't seem possible. A knock on the door brought me out of my spin cycle of anxiety. “Come in,” I said as calmly as I could despite the stress building up in me. Lillian, my secretary, leaned in through the door. ”Hello, Mr. Brooks, the conference room is free and available for the meeting. Right. The meeting. I'd almost forgotten. “Thanks, Lil I will be there shortly.” I sighed, adjusted my tie, and left for the conference. When I entered the conference room, it was quite evident that the heads of departments were stressed up. Everyone was looking at me with the expectation to deliver answers I was not certain I had. “Okay, everyone,” I said, attempting to sound much more certain than I actually was. '‘There will be no need to mince
