His anger

RYAN "I want to see the President," I told the secretary I met at Lexi's office, but she was reluctant to let me in. "I... Sorry, sir. But the president warned to never let you in. Please, kindly take your leave," Sarah let out with full professionalism, intertwining her hands while keeping a straight countenance. I wasn't shocked either. I expected that after the nuisance I had caused in Lexi's office. However, it was important that I meet her today. I really needed to explain things to her. Isabelle's, our daughter's life is in trouble, and we needed to act smart and fast on it to avoid stories that could hurt us. Darting my eyes over Sarah, I smirked, "Do you know who I am? I'm sure you are mistaken. Lexi will never order you not to grant me entrance to her office." She swayed a suspicious gaze over me and bobbed her head negatively. "I'm sorry, Mr. Middleton, but I cannot let you in. I would have called her on the phone to ask for her permission, but I doubt she will pick up.

My Property

LEXII think I am going crazy. How the hell would I find Ryan's cologne relaxing and aromatic? And why was I bothered that he met Donald and me the way he met us?As soon as he slammed the door behind him, I exhaled sharply and shook my head. "You need to get your act together, Lexi."I guessed he was lurking around me because I had become the CEO of his company, which was the reason I proposed to him to be my driver. Ryan Middleton is egoistic, and I doubted that he would find my offer fair. I was certain that he would get angry and forfeit the position to me. At least he would stop stalking me and leave me the hell alone. I hated that I kept seeing his face.*Ryan strolled straight to Donald's office as he left Lexi's. Donald was deep in thought when he footed in.The creaking sound of the door propelled him to look in the direction of the entrance, and he huffed as he saw Ryan. There was something suspicious about Ryan, but he couldn't place a finger on it, and it made him extreme

My Friend

JASMINE"Pick up! Pick up!! Fucking pick up your call," I gritted, hitting my phone on my hand aggressively. It had been two weeks since I had been calling Ryan, but he wasn't picking up my phone. I had gone to his company many times, but I wasn't allowed in. I was told the CEO had changed and they were strictly ordered never to allow the Middleton or anyone close to the family to step into the company. That was still a mystery yet to be solved. What was happening? How did the CEO change with nobody knowing about it?I had gone to his house. He wasn't home, but I met Emily and his mother. Unlike in the past, they were cold to me as though we were enemies. In fact, Emily warned me never to come to their house.I missed my man. I missed Ryan so much, yet he hadn't been granting me an audience ever since Lexi returned to the country. Without being told, I knew he had been busy following her around. That bitch! She returned to the country and ruined all I had worked hard for. Ryan had fuc

First Day At Work

GENERAL"Good morning!" A familiar voice echoed in Lexi's voice as soon as she stepped out of her car that morning, causing her to tilt her head. For a few seconds, she was dumbfounded when she saw Ryan inches away from her, smiling and waving his hands. She cringed at his laughter and didn't hide it with the smug on her face.She rolled her eyes and huffed. It was a new day and a new week. It was too early to get a wonderful drama from him."Please, leave. It's too early for your drama," Lexi let out, taking her bag from the backseat and locking the door."Leave? Are you sacking me already?" Ryan asked nonchalantly, tucking his hands in his pockets with arms akimbo. Lexi's body froze; she turned and raised a part of her brows in a questioning manner. "Sack you? Does this look like your place of work? Were you ever employed?" Ryan smirked and closed the gap between them. His hands were still tucked in the pocket. Briefly, Lexi was drooled over his majestic and sexy demeanor, but she

A stain on his ego

GENERALLexi twirled her wrist to skim at her watch, and she heaved when she realized that it was time for lunch. She hadn't even exhaled when the door opened and Donald tucked his head in. "Time for lunch!" He announced with a smile, waving.Lexi's lips curled into a grin, and she snickered, "You never missed the time." She joked, getting up from her seat.Donald walked up to her, snaked his arms around her waist, and pulled her closer to his body. He made an attempt to kiss her, but she smartly tilted her face, which made Donald kiss her cheeks. He obviously noticed what just happened, but he chuckled. He presumed that she wasn't comfortable yet."Should we go for lunch now?" He asked."Of course. I'm freaking famished right now. I have been waiting for the lunch hour like it's an hour of redemption," she let out."Okay. Let's go," he muttered, and the duo stepped out of Lexi's office.On getting out, Donald sighted Ryan, getting his food from the delivery guy. "I guessed Mr. Ryan d

His Punishment

GENERAL"Welcome, ma'am. Welcome, sir," Sarah greeted Lexi and Ryan as they returned from lunch. Lexi responded with a smile and said, "Get me a cup of coffee." Darting her gaze over Donald, she asked, "Do you care for?" "Uhm... Yes. A cup of coffee for me too," he replied, and Sarah left to carry out the task she was given.Donald and Lexi sauntered into Lexi's office and went to settle in the visitor's corner, where there were two couches facing each other and a small table in between. Five minutes later, Sarah returned with two cups of coffee and placed them carefully on the table."Thank you, Sarah," Donald muttered smilingly, and Sarah's face flushed. She lowered her head and nodded before she walked out.Lexi picked up a cup of coffee, placed one leg on the other, and folded one of her arms as she took the cup to her lips. However, as she sipped the coffee, the door flew open.The banging sound of the door made Lexi and Donald glance at each other, and they hurriedly stood up

Fool

LEXII was satisfied with what I did. The look on Ryan's face when I was pouring the coffee on his head cannot be forgotten in a while. I have it engraved in my head. I had the urge to laugh at him when I suspected him battling with his emotions, especially his temperament, but I held back. With what I did, I knew he would not come back to work for me henceforth, and I couldn't be happier.As I pretended to work, I felt Donald's gaze over me, and it made me uncomfortable. How could I have forgotten that I still have a lot to explain and it isn't over yet? Gosh! Can't he just let things be and pretend like nothing happened?"Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" My greatest worry happened. He finally broke the silence and demanded an explanation.I shut my eyes, gritted my teeth dejectedly, and shook my head unhurriedly. With a smile, I opened my eyes and raised my head."An explanation? What explanation?" I questioned, feigning ignorance, and I hoped he wouldn't drag up the issu

OVERTHINKING

GENERALDonald stepped out of his car and walked straight into his flat. He was staying on the first floor of a two storey-building. Getting into his apartment, he tossed his bag, flinging it on the couch, removed his suit, undid his tie, and collapsed onto the couch, flopping his hands and leaning his head backward. He had been exhausted from the day's activities. It was evident in his eyes and the way he breathed.He took his phone and grimaced at the screen, which revealed Lexi's picture as the wallpaper, and he sighed. They didn't talk to each other since the argument. Lexi was too stubborn to apologize to him and he was also standing on his manly ego. He missed her.Swiping the phone, he went to the recent calls and stared at Lexi's number, contemplating whether to reach out to her or not. The urge to give in and call her first was strong but he overcame it, turned the phone off, hissed, and tossed the phone to the side.Sitting up, he thought about the whole thing. From the orig

Can’t Be Lexi

GENERALJasmine stretched her neck from time to time, peeking through the gate and waiting for Ryan to come out of the mansion. She nibbled on her lips as she anticipated him. Last night, she made the decision to go to his house before his waking up hour and wait for him outside.Even though she knew the truth, she refused to conclude they had broken up since Ryan hadn't asked her for it. Until it is official, they are still couples, which was the reason she decided to get everything over and done with.As soon as Ryan stepped out of his house, his gateman rushed to open the gate since he would be driving his car out. The moment the gateman opened the gate, Jasmine jumped into the compound and sped toward Ryan's moving car.He scoffed when he saw Jasmine. "It is too early to deal with her," He let out, swirling his tongue over his lips as he halted a few inches away from her. He sighed, throwing his head backward and shutting his eyes. He already knew that he was going to have a bad

A Stalker

GENERALJasmine's blood boiled. She thought Emily was about to act the way she acted the last time she was there to look for Ryan, so she had mentally prepared herself to return the same energy without being at the losing end.However, Emily surprised her when she got to where she was standing. She halted in front of Jasmine, folded her arms, and said, "You must not let go of Ryan. You will be a fool to lose this battle to Lexi," Emily spurted out, venom in her voice. The last thing she wanted was to have Lexi as her sister-in-law again.Deep down, she was a bit scared of her. Not after her last encounter with her. Lexi had become fearless and independent, which was her fear that she wouldn't be able to order her around the way she did in the past.Jasmine's guards crumbled immediately. She blinked and sniffed back the snots, threatening to fall out of her nostrils. "How, Emily? He clearly doesn't want me anymore. That wench has blinded his vision with her father's wealth," Jasmine le
