Harry’s pov"What's the occasion for?" I inquired upon sighting the well-structured décor on the walls of the living room and everything neatly in place, starting from the entrance all the way to the large dining area, which was meters away from the living room.I mean, I wasn't expecting something as massive as this; I just thought it was a regular dinner with Lily and Derick. But from what I could see, there was more to it than I ever anticipated.I tilted my head to the right where a huge decoration was glaring at me. The inscription on it earned a grin from me as I admired the craft and dedication of a purposeful career. My heart quickened at the sight of a portrait of myself standing right in front of me."Ahh!" I whispered, my eyes widening at the image. I never knew I was this gorgeous, let alone remember the last time I even glanced at the mirror. All I ever knew was work and caring for my beloved family, never sparing any time for myself. I cursed inwardly, but my feelings we

Leonard AndersonJack’s POV“Schedule the flight to Italy for tomorrow morning,” I instructed Sam, adjusting the knot of my tie.Sam nodded and immediately started the booking process, burying his gaze in the iPad in his hands. I turned my gaze to the entrance and took note of the guards on duty.Leonard Anderson had scheduled the meeting for tomorrow morning in Italy. My heart grew intense; the deal was finally sealed, and I couldn’t wait to start exploring the details and lay down a guide for it.I alighted from the car and sauntered into the mansion. It had been a long day at work, and my body was completely drained as a result. Hurling my briefcase onto the sofa, I collapsed on the couch, reaching for the knot of my tie and pulling it off—it was strangling the life out of me and I doubted if I could survive a second still leaving it on my neck. I became pissed off when my heart recalled the earlier event of today.To think that the secretary was too inconsistent to finish a single

Jack’s povA wide grin spread across my face as the content popped up. A sudden rush of satisfaction crept into my entire being; I hadn’t felt this way in a long time. My heart swelled at the unexpected turn of events, and it was almost certain that everything was working as planned. My endless efforts were gradually bringing something gigantic, though it had taken longer than expected.My hopes and patience in Lily were growing thin, and I could hardly bear to realize that she was the reason behind our fruitless efforts all these years. My heart boiled, my brows furrowed, and I remembered sending her a threatening text two days ago. She seemed to have quickly forgotten the reason she married Harry in the first place. It was never meant to be for love, and she was forbidden from developing feelings for him. It was just business, and that was how it should stay—producing results. She shouldn’t forget that she has my child in that house, and the sooner she comes up with a plan, the bett

Meeting EmmaCeline’s povThe sliding glass doors of the terminal buzzed open, releasing a gust of cool, processed air that carried the distinct scent of coal and coffee. As I stepped inside, my grip on my suitcase loosened, and my heart quickened. I couldn’t believe I was leaving the country so soon. There was nothing left for me here. Evelyn had come along to bid me farewell as I journeyed to Italy, away from the chaos and struggles, to start a new life and career.It had been a difficult decision at first. I couldn’t fully comprehend everything Sharon was saying, but the urgency couldn't be denied. I couldn’t stand the thought of endangering my life and that of my child, so I persuaded myself to leave. It had always been my intention, but little did I know it would be sooner than expected.I glanced around, slightly fazed by the bustle of passengers, the hovering sounds of conversations, and the crackling announcements from overhead speakers. It was hard to believe that in just a f

ImpossibleWhat was she doing coming towards us? Something about her sent shivers down my spine, and the urgency to get out of her presence piqued. I had harbored resentment towards her ever since high school, and it only resurfaced today when I realized who she was. I became apprehensive."Why's she coming towards us?" I pouted, a frown displayed on my face as I waited for her to approach."Evelyn, right?" she threw the question at Evelyn, who was also surprised. It had been a long time, though, and I could affirm there weren't many changes in her appearance. Long curly blonde hair with highlights, a pointed nose, flushed cheeks, and an elegant structure. She was as beautiful as always. I couldn't match up to her, which kept me deep in thought as to why Davis had chosen me over her. The mention of Davis and the sight of Emma only brought back feelings of nostalgia and made my body tense up."Of course, yes, I’m Evelyn. What brought you back? It's been about six, seven years?" Evelyn

ItalyThe flight took about eight to nine hours, and during those hours, Emma and I never stopped having a pleasant conversation, ranging from her personal life to her career.“I would like to help you start up your career here. Please don't say no to my proposals. That's the only way I can make up for all the pain I caused you in the past,” she asserted, giving me a pleading look I couldn’t resist. Even though I initially rejected the offer, I wondered, how do I start a career here? I didn’t know Sharon’s plans with her friend Emily, who she arranged for me to stay with until I’m fit to get my own apartment. Taking the offer seemed like the best choice, I thought to myself, and finally gave in.“Alright, I accept,” I said, a gasp escaping my lips.“Thanks for accepting. Now, are you ready to meet my Mr. Right?”“If you insist, I’d be pleased to meet him. I have a lot to thank him for,” I replied, noticing her eyes widen in disbelief.“You haven’t changed, have you?” She glanced at me

Her SuccessSeated in the soft, luxurious office chair, I tilted it left and right in satisfaction. The cool air from the air conditioner sent a chill down my spine. My skin glowed in full display of its effect.My gaze was fixed on the system before me, and I chuckled at the content on full display. My heart quickened, and a flush of joy spread across my face. I couldn’t believe we had completed the project in such a short period—no complaints, excellently executed. My team and I had worked overtime to ensure we delivered according to the standard, and I was satisfied with the results.My eyes strayed to the file sitting on the glass-framed table just before me. I reached for it and took a glance at its contents. My hand reached for the intercom.“Meet me in my office,” I said, then set it down and tilted my seat sideways to face the glass wall. The beautifully structured city stretched out before me. The twilight view was overwhelming and unimaginably stunning. My office was situate

What’s with Harry?A quick switch in her expression as she pointed upstairs. I couldn’t spare any more time as I made my way upstairs to his room.When I reached the room, the door was slightly open, and I heaved a sigh of relief, clutching my hands to my chest. I should have known he was there.“Cutie,” I called out, sneaking my head in to see what he was up to this time. I knew he’d be rolling his eyes by now, probably with a disapproving look. He was just too active for his age.Pushing the door open, my eyes landed on my cute son, who sat on the bed. I noticed he was on the phone with someone, smiles plastered all over his face. The moment his gaze met mine, he quickly excused himself, rolling off the bed and peeling off the headphones. He hopped into my arms for an embrace. I crouched to his level and planted a loving kiss on his forehead, skimming my fingers through his curly hair.Releasing him from my grip, I giggled, and he grinned, reciprocating the affection.“Mum, why did

TurnsHarry's POV“No, this can’t be happening to me. How did I get into this mess?” I rubbed the back of my neck hard, each thought flickering in my heart as my patience grew thinner. My gaze rolled around the room, one hand placed below my jaw, a flicker of annoyance creasing my entire being like a tidal wave. Nothing was making sense anymore. The news speculations, the company investors' threats—everything and everyone wasn’t making sense anymore.I never anticipated being in such a tight situation where I lacked support or backbone. The situation at hand was just too critical and needed urgent intervention or I would lose everything I have ever worked for all these years. This realization only clouded my mind and weakened my limbs. A surge of tension swarmed my being, and I felt a sudden drive that was more than I could comprehend or imagine. To worsen the whole situation, the media was all over this news. Bloggers were carrying and circulating it, adding sensational details for

Blood donor “Not again, not again… Why was all this happening at the same time, just in the nick of time?” I banged my hands hard on the steering wheel, speeding faster than expected in the bustling city. I stumbled upon a truck parked along the side of the road.“Gosh,” I cursed inwardly. I wasn't used to driving at all, let alone driving this fast. To think I had instructed Louis to sit beside me while I drove only weakened my heart. I couldn't anticipate this from the start.I stormed out of the car, instructing Louis to fix whatever damage was done while I took a cab to the hospital. There was no time to wait for another one of my cars to arrive or for him to fix the damage. Besides, the media were already out to get every single detail about my dealings and life to add to the headlines. I couldn’t let them do that. I narrowly escaped the office while trying to get to the hospital. I never expected everything to be happening so fast, and I strongly believed I would pull through n
