I was done with my client and headed to pick up Zara from her apartment. Seated in the car, I was still waiting for her to come out so we could leave for school. It was a two-hour drive to get there, and we needed to start before it got late.The creaking of the door caught my attention. As I looked in that direction, I saw Jasper helping her carry her bag out of the apartment, with Zara following behind.They dropped the bag into the car before settling into their seats."Why didn’t you get ready earlier?" I asked as she tightened her seatbelt.She glanced at me briefly, letting out a small sigh. "I’m sorry; I don’t feel like going. You said I would have to stay there until the weekend." She pouted her lips. This was her way of trying to back out, but it wouldn’t work. I had paid for her fees, accommodations, and everything she needed; there was no way she was getting out of this now."Are you happy being a dropout? Going back to school, isn’t that what your brother wanted?" I asked

"I think he's protecting someone from harm. He knows something he's not saying. He obviously ran into me that day, before I marched the brake." Jasper said.There’s no way he isn’t sure of what he’s saying. He was the one driving the car, while I was deep in thought, even though my gaze was on the road. He knows something he’s not revealing."Let’s starve him and see if he opens up. Somehow, I feel those gunshots were meant to harm me. Anderson hasn’t even come out to say a word to the media; he’s been invited but is avoiding them.""Nothing makes sense, the way the car broke down, the wait, how Anderson showed up and delayed you by the road. Nothing makes sense." Jasper replied. I believed him; this must be his instinct talking, and I have never doubted him when it comes to serious matters.I just hope Anderson has nothing to do with the gunshots. If he does, I won’t just cause him pain; I will make sure to ruin his company.I got into the car while Jasper drove me back to the office

I pulled up in the parking lot, stepped out of the car, and made my way to the entrance with deliberate calm. I couldn’t afford to draw any unnecessary attention. I moved straight toward Alex’s office. Reaching the door, I knocked gently and waited.Before I could get a response, the door swung open, and there was Alex, grinning at me.“I got your message. Where is she?” I asked immediately, but he only laughed, strolling back to his desk.I stared at him, feeling a surge of irritation. Was this some sort of joke? I had left my work and driven here, putting everything on hold. I drove at a high speed, risking my life.Stepping inside, I closed the door. “Tell me this isn’t a joke. What was that message about?” I wanted to believe he was just testing my patience, that she was here, and he was just waiting to get a rise out of me.“You had her for four years, and you signed the damn papers. Why are you still looking for her?”I felt a flare of anger. Did he really think I would linger o

"What are you talking about? Warned by whom?" She asked, but my eyes were drawn to her pink succulent lips. I so wanted to ravage and devour those lips, I was nearing my moral limits.Heat filled my groin. Fvck! This girl is driving me nuts."I have been having messages to stay… I'm sorry I have to do this." I said, and next thing, I crushed my lips into hers, with our tongues interlocking. She stiffened momentarily and melted in my kiss. I got so deeply engrossed that I closed my eyes to savor the moment while it lasted."Stop." She then recoiled like she realized something and pushed me away. The sparkle in her eyes said otherwise, so I attempted to near her again, but she took a step back."Is this why you have been wanting to see me? Why would you do that? You claim you are getting threat messages, but this is what you have in mind?"I didn’t know what had come over me; I wanted to stop, but I couldn’t. Seeing her now felt dangerously intoxicating. I wanted her in every way imagin

EmilyWhat just happened? Did he really dash out of the room without a word? What is going on? How long has he been getting calls like that? That didn’t sound like a business call, he said he would kill whoever he was on the phone with. Coming to the hospital wasn’t what I had planned. Luckily, Biggy managed to find the room number, and I snuck inside.The plan was just to see her briefly. I never expected Ryan to show up at this hour. I need to find out what’s going on, even if I’m not sure whether to believe him. That call alone proves he has more to tell me.Seeing him again filled my heart with so much joy. Being in the same room as him, I wanted him to hold me and tell me everything would be alright. The kiss, that was the last thing I expected. We never even held hands while we were married.The only time we touched was when I handed him something or served him dinner. It’s been six months since we divorced, and now, today, I end up kissing him like this.It felt surreal; I enjo

The drive ended as we pulled up to the company, where a crowd of reporters had already gathered. I let out a small laugh, they were really here, waiting to make me talk. Did they think they could force words out of me? They had to be joking. Whatever they publish about me won’t change my mind. I will deal with Adam until he regrets ever working for this company.As I stepped out of the car, the reporters rushed forward in a blur, bombarding me with questions. Thankfully, Biggy was there, clearing a path for me toward the entrance."Ms. Emily, don’t you think you are taking things too far?" One male reporter with tinted glasses called, as if it was any of his business."Is this some sort of publicity stunt? Are you just trying to trend on social media?" A female reporter added. She must think everyone’s like her, making money off fake news. I don't think she knows her worth, she wouldn't have to spew such statement."You are coming between two friends. Don’t you think you are overreact

It was getting late, so I decided to call it a day and packed a few documents I needed to work on into my bag. I placed my Samsung tablet inside and made my way out.I walked out of the office, heading toward the parking lot. Most of the employees had gone home, leaving the place a bit deserted. My secretary had left a few minutes earlier after waiting for me to finish up.As I reached my car, I settled into the driver’s seat, but then noticed an old man standing behind the car, motioning for me to wait. It was getting darker with each passing second, what would an old man be doing outside at this hour?"Don't get out of the car; I will send him away, " Biggy said, as he stepped out and walked toward him.I watched them exchange words back and forth. Biggy tried to move him along, but the old man wouldn’t budge. Seeing how it was getting even darker, I opened the door and strode over to join them. I don't expect someone as old as him to still be out here.To my surprise, the old man a

It was a beautiful morning. I had a good time with Lisa last night. We both skipped dinner, munching on the snacks she had brought while chatting randomly about guys. She couldn’t stop talking about the man she met at the banquet dinner last time, even though they hadn’t exchanged contact information. Talking about guys made me remember the kiss I had shared with Ryan. It had been wonderful, almost surreal, but I was unable to bring myself to tell her about it. If I told her I had met him, she would just bombard me with questions. Better to keep it to me. I had truly enjoyed our time together, and she ended up spending the night in my room. I woke up just as she was about to leave to get ready for school. I thought it was a bit early and asked her about it, but she said they had new freshmen arriving, and it would be fun to meet them. I still don’t comprehend why she comes home when she could just stay on campus. Driving two hours each way every day is crazy. I got ready for work a

In a few minutes, we arrived at the company, and I made my way into the reception area. A few employees greeted me as they walked past. I reached my office and entered, with my secretary following behind."Good morning, ma'am! Here’s your schedule for today; it’s going to be quite a busy day." She said, setting it on my desk.I set my bag aside and picked up the schedule. So, I would be busy from 10 a.m. until the end of the day—and Biggy wasn’t even at the office."These are the company’s most honored clients, and you will be meeting them in various restaurants and a few at the hotel." She added."It’s going to be a long day. I should grab my coffee before I leave the office." I responded. She nodded and made her way out.I set the schedule down and reached for my laptop when my phone began to ring. It was my father calling. I had just left home a few minutes ago—why was he calling?"Hello, Father. Everything okay?" I asked."Of course! I just heard from Mr. Lincoln that most of the

EthanI drove to the hospital as quickly as I could. When I arrived, the doctors were already attending to him. According to them, he was brought in just in time, any delay, and things could have been much worse. It's a relief few of the security guards were with him.I was in the doctor’s office, waiting for him to return from my father’s room when my phone chirped. Glancing at the screen, I saw Emily’s name."Hey, I just left a few minutes ago. Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting?" I asked. It hadn’t been long since I left the office, and I knew she had a full schedule."I handled my client quickly; we were on the same page, so it didn’t even take ten minutes. But that’s not why I’m calling. How’s Father? Has he woken up?""Not yet." I replied. "He was brought to the hospital just in time. The doctors and nurses are with him now, and I’m waiting here for an update.""Don’t you think you should be by his bedside?" She asked, sounding worried."Relax, sweetheart. Your father is fin
