KEIAI'd noticed something the whole time since we'd come here. He'd been staring at me. I noticed it the moment we sat down to it but I tried to ignore it. I thought that was because of my being late. But I had apologised, right? I asked myself, but there still wasn't an answer about it yet. Maybe he was still mad about everything, I thought. I kept my eyes on the plate and focused instead on every bite of food as though it were the most interesting thing in the world. I had nowhere else to look and nothing else to do other than eat. His eyes didn't leave me. They didn't waver, and it felt like he was studying me. Each time I looked up at him, my heart jumped just a tiny bit because they were still focused on me. He was just there... watching. It made me uncomfortable because my mind soon began to go over everything that had happened. Why was he staring at me so hard like I was doing something wrong? My mind went back to me coning Kate today. Maybe he hadn't accepted my apology and

KEIAWhen he told me that he expected me to have lunch with him there, I was too shocked to day anything at first. Was that impulsive? Or was there really something behind it? I was forced to think he'd been impulsive because of the awkward drama that had happened back there but something in his eyes told me that it was more than that. It couldn't just be an awkward drama. I had opened my mouth to say something and maybe ask why he had even though I was going to agree to that but he cut me off before I could say anything. "If you're not going to listen to me, then maybe you should quit." I was so shocked by his words even though he sounded so calm, so matter-of-fact, as if he had all the power here. It was very clear from the foregoing that he was trying to make this command and not a request. And it was making me angry, but I had to clench my teeth and hold back my anger because I didn't want to do anything rash and destroy the way we had been relating. It was tense, to say the lea

KEIAMy whole body was buzzing with frustration when I walked into the house. I didn't know how I was going to call myself down because of how angry I felt. I was so angry that the moment I walked through the door, Liana looked up with her eyebrows raised. I could tell she was already worried about me but I didn't need anybody to do that for me. She was sitting on a couch, scrolling through her phone but the moment she saw my face and how agitated my movement was, she quickly set the phone down. "Good evening," I muttered before quickly throwing my purse on the couch and walking into the bedroom, still shaking with anger. I collapsed on the bed and let out a heavy sigh. I had no idea if I was going to be able to continue this way, I said to myself before pushing the thought away quickly. I was just angry and sometime in the future, probably very soon, I would get my things in order and hope things worked out for the best. The door opened and Liana walked in

KEIAHis voice on the phone was calm and collected as always. "Keia, I need you to pause that report you're working on. There is a new project on ground and it requires immediate attention." My brows arched immediately. I was confused. "A new project? But I'm just your secretary. Isn’t that more for your personal assistant?" I didn't hide the emotions as I spoke to him now. He needed to know that I wasn't just going to be quiet and take in everything he told me without questioning it. There was a pause and I imagined him giving me that same cold and unamused look that I saw often. I thought he was going to ask me not to worry about it but then he said. "Just save your work and come to my office." Those were his words before he hung up. He didn't even allow me to reply. Was that his way of coercing me into doing something he needed me to. He couldn't accept that this was his fault. I didn't have any other option so I just got up and saved my file and stood up. When I was done smoot

SAWYER Sitting in my office, I glanced over at Keia's desk through the glass wall. Even after what she had told me last time, she was still late today again. She was giving me reasons to suspect that she was lying, and that her lateness was habitual. She had rushed in and apologised to everyone she passed. I could tell from the look on her face that she was clearly stressed. But I didn't care much about her being late, I was irritated for another reason altogether. And that was wanting to see her. I was mad at myself for feeling like that but there was nothing I could do about it. The first time we met, it was nothing but a fleeting moment. And from the look of things, it was clear she didn't know I was the man from that night. It was just a night anyway, no names and no faces to remember, maybe for her, but not for me. She never mentioned it and I wasn't about to ask her. But the thought kept nagging at me. Did she ever think about it or was she just pretending it never happened?

KEIAArtemis turned to me sharply with that glint of madness in his eyes. "You and I need to talk, right now..." he turned to Sawyer. "I know I am in your office but I would like some privacy please." I didn't let Sawyer reply before thundering back. "I am not discussing anything with you. You better get out of here." I said, hoping he wasn't going to prove stubborn, as he always has. "I am afraid I can't go if she's this uncomfortable with you. I need to be around if anything happens." Artemis’s brows rose, he was in shock. "What are you implying, Sawyer. That I am going to beat her up?" He asked. Sawyer crossed his arms and returned his glare. "Who knows? Might be the same reason you both aren't together anymore." The look on his face told me he was fighting the urge to punch Sawyer. But I was surprised Sawyer had stood up for me. Artemis turned towards me and continued. "You should not be here. You shouldn't be working for him. Is this your own way of getting back at me?" H

SAWYER I still found it very hard to believe what I had just heard. Keia and Artemis were not together anymore. She had actually said it herself- that they were not married anymore. I was shocked because I hadn't heard about it, Artemis had said nothing about it this whole time and if the confrontation had never happened, I was never going to know. When Keia admitted that, it hit me like a shock and it made me stumble a bit. I covered it with a laugh in an effort not to show how surprised I was. "Divorced, huh?" I said to myself while making my way out of the office. I wondered what he had done to her. Their conversation was so heated and nothing about it seemed pleasant at all. She was so angry with him, and he wasn't about to back out either, if I hadn't asked him to leave. God knows what he would have done to her if I wasn't there. I was glad I hadn't listened to him when he had asked me to leave."This was certainly interesting." I mused to myself as I made my way down the hall

SAWYERA couple seconds of silence followed before I nodded at my dad. "Good evening, Dad, mom." My voice was flat but this was not the time to care about that. I just wanted to know what it was they wanted. He looked up and smiled warmly, repositioning his glasses at the bridge of his slightly crooked nose. His brows were already greying. "Sawyer, it seems you had a long day at work. You're here." Not wanting to ruin the mood, I decided to just go with the flow and not do anything negative unless they came up with a problem. "Very busy." I replied, trying to sound cheerful but all I could get out was a clipped response. As usual, my stepmother's gaze lingered, expecting some kind of acknowledgement but I didn't know what to say. My father's voice came next. It was low but firm. "Sawyer, don't you think it's time you greeted her properly?" His smile faltered a bit, just as his demeanour thawed. I just did, I said in my head, as my eyes flashed towards her for a split second. But

KEIAThe moment I was behind the door that evening, I slammed the door behind me with more force than necessary. My frustration hadn't gone down one bit since I left office. Everything that had happened during the day was still fresh in my mind. It swirled like an annoying storm that I couldn't escape. As soon as I kicked off my heels and got out of the bath, I made my way to the couch where my best friend was already waiting for me. She was scrolling through her phone, devouring a bucket of chicken. She looked up from her phone, raising an eyebrow. "Was today a rough one too?" I plopped down beside her and let out a loud groan. "It was quite eventful, you won't believe what happened." I said, almost laughing as I remembered everything that had happened back there, how he had been kicked out like a little bitch. It was just so exciting. "You have no idea what happened." She put her phone aside and gave me her full attention. "What happened? Did Artemis call you again? You know, I f

KEIAIt seemed we had come to the bar at the right time because it wasn't long before the bar came alive with laughter and music. And the conversation began to blend into the background. As I was returning from the counter with two bottles of wine in my hand, my hands felt shaky. I couldn't tell if it was because of the memories that were still doing a great job at tormenting me or if it was because of that feeling of foreboding that wouldn't just let me be. It had been disturbing me for a while now and I hoped we could just be finished here so we could leave. Leila had teased me into bringing them back myself, saying it was good practice for what was coming up. My eyes were fixed on the two bottles and my mind concentrated on moving one foot after the other. I was too lost to pay much attention to where I was working. I remembered what Leila had said to me again. The whole time she was laughing to herself inwardly and I saw that in the smirk she carried as she spoke to me. "If you
