~Luther~“Was the bouquet delivered safely to her?” I asked over the phone to the person I had assigned the task to.“Yes, Mr. Luther, it was successfully delivered to her; we ensured that she received it,” the receiver said with confidence.“Then that is all I need to know,” I said and ended the call.Then I sat down to begin the job of the day. Running a growing empire was not a child’s play, and every time I stepped into the company, I could barely wait for it to become mine. My dad was getting really old, and even though I had hoped before now that he would be retired, he still kept showing up and taking his position as the CEO.My desk phone rang, jolting me out of my thoughts, and when I took the call, it was my dad.“Luther, get into my office this very minute!” He barked into the phone and ended the call without even giving me the chance to say a word.I sighed heavily.Mr. Gates was the most ruthless man I had ever seen, in business and even as my dad. A lot of people feared

A Mischievous Mind

~Isabelle~“Who could have sent the other bouquet of flowers?” I asked Sasha.I was more concerned about delivery that I had no clue about than the first one that even arrived. As for Victor’s roses, I instantly trashed them away.“I still think you shouldn’t have trashed the flowers,” Sasha said, referring to Victor’s roses.“Please, don’t tell me that I am supposed to accept it with a smile, or even probably a freaking blush to my cheeks,” I said, rolling my eyes.“I wouldn’t want you to do that either,” Sasha said.“So what would you have me do instead?” I asked, confused.“Trashing the flowers is just going to mean that you accepted it to Victor,” Sasha said.“I don’t care what he thinks anymore, Sasha,” I said without thinking deeply about what she just said.“But you should not also give him the notion that you accepted it. From the short note, he is trying to drag you down memory lane, and he is just going to think that his charms are working,” Sasha analyzed the situation.“So

Caught Red-handed

~Victor~I got into the living room and found my family fawning over Sara. She sat in their midst, and they were all having a conversation that I could not really comprehend; not like I had any interest in knowing anything about women’s conversations. My only problem was getting past them to my room without being seen, but I knew even before I attempted it that I would fail; I wasn’t invincible after all.“Victor, you are back, and right on time” Laura was the first to notice my presence, and as soon as she said those words, the others turned and looked at me.I faked a smile. “It has been a tiring day, and I just want to go in and have a long rest,” I said. Since trying to sneak my way out of their midst didn’t work, I might as well use a valid excuse.I just wanted them to continue with whatever they were talking about and leave me out of it.“How was the divorce readdressing?” Sara asked out of the blue.I was as shocked as my mum, Laura, and sisters, Mona and Phoebe even though t

The Right Woman For The Family

~Victor~“You sent her flowers?!” All the Walters’ women yelled out in shock while Sara was simply saddened.I had never felt so humiliated in my entire existence, and before Mona could go ahead and read the note that I had attached to the flowers and make things worse, I snatched the flowers from her hands.“We are here trying to fix a date for your engagement party with Sara and you are sending that good for nothing Isabelle flowers?” Laura asked angrily.I was too embarrassed to even say another word, and then again, I was also mad at Isabelle for acting this way. After we had left the courtroom, I had just wanted to do something that seemed nice and would remind her of how we had begun. If she hadn’t wanted it, the least she could have done was trash it instead of sending it back to me.“A thief and a poor woman is whom Victor is acting all mushy for,” Mona said with disgust.“Hey, watch your mouth,” I turned to Mona and warned.I was also angry with her as well, because if she ha

A Dangerous Warning

~Isabelle~I stayed alone in Sasha’s apartment after she had left for work, and I soon became lonely.I ate, watched some shows on TV, took a nap, and even washed my hair, but the day seemed to be crawling too slowly, making me almost groan in agony. If I was back home, I would have certainly had something to occupy myself with, especially knowing that I would actually be catching up with my family. Heck, I did not even get to see my father before rushing back to Seagate just to answer to something that had already been signed before now.Thinking about home, I called Jason, and thankfully, he picked up.“Isabelle, how are you doing?” Jason asked, he sounded really tired over the phone.“I am fine,” I said, even though I was tired of just sitting in Sasha’s apartment all day, and the pregnancy was constantly making me want to take a nap. “Are you okay? You sound tired,” I told Jason.It was such a relief that we had gotten back to talking to each other. I could recall how cross he an

Twenty Four Hours

~Victor~It was a new day and a new week, and I decided to push Isabelle away from my mind because I had to work.There was a big business deal that my company had been chasing for quite a while now, and finally, they had reached out for a contract. It was like a victory, because I knew how hard myself and my senior team members had worked tirelessly to be able to achieve this. My mother was right; being with Isabelle, in as much as it broke me to admit it, had limited my company in a lot of ways. Getting deals had been the most difficult thing to do. In fact, over the years, most of my most hardworking and trusted staff members had left my company to secure at job with my adversaries. It had been a real struggle, which was why when the option of getting into a relationship with Sara had popped up, I had taken it without a second thought.I needed to save my company; we had been sinking for way too long.“Are we all ready to go and sign the deal that is going to change the face of th

Stay Away

~Isabelle~I could barely wait for Sasha to arrive as I fumed in anger. Laura had left some hours ago, but the effect of her presence still lingered, and it left a bad taste on my tongue and rage in my heart. What right did she have to find me and talk to me in that manner as though I was still living with her and subjecting myself to her cruelty? I fumed as I paced about, and something that even made me more upset was the fact that I had been too dazed to give her a better response.“And if you are pregnant for Victor, which won’t even stay anyway, you had better keep that thing away from my family…”Those had been her words to me, and I just stood there, looking like a helpless zombie until she glared at me to her satisfaction and left. It was not until she had left that I realized that I should not have acted as though I was still scared of her. She came onto me, and that should be termed as harassment, and I shouldn’t have let her get away from it, just like I had allowed her to

Boundaries Against Monsters

~Isabelle~Instead of me to have stood on my ground and corrected Laura’s impression about me and her attitude towards me, I had sat right in front of her like a drenched pussycat and allowed her to speak to me in a hateful manner, and that was exactly how I acted some hours ago.Four years ago, and I still could not stand up to her!“You shouldn’t have given her the impression that you are still that weak and simple girl she used to know!” I berated myself.“Isabelle, are you okay?” Sasha asked as she dumped her handbag on the couch and stared at me with concern in her eyes.I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn’t even know that she had entered the apartment.“Jeez, Sasha, you are back,” I said with relief.“Yeah, if you were looking at the time you would have realized that it is my closing time,” Sasha said. “I am sorry,” I said, even though I didn’t know why exactly I was apologizing.“Are you okay though? You look like you have seen a ghost and your face is ashen,” Sasha

Over And Beyond

~Victor~I arrived at Mr. Hedger’s mansion with an expensive bouquet of flowers that I just bought on my way to see Sara. Given that Mr. Hedge already said that I had only twenty four hours to make his daughter happy in order to get that important contract, I knew I had to act fast.“Who are you here to see?” One of the bodyguards asked from the security cameras.This was one of the reasons I detested coming to Sara’s house. No matter how many times I showed up here, they would still put me through the rigorous task of introducing myself and stating the exact reason I was there. This time around anyway, I was not angered or disgusted, because I knew that I was here for a crucial purpose. The success of my company and the positive result of the hard work of my dedicated team members rest heavily on my shoulders, and I could not jeopardize this for anything else in the world.“Miss Sara Hedge,” I answered calmly.“We have no information about your expected arrival,” the bodyguard said.

Devil And The Deep Blue Sea

~Victor~“I will do whatever you want,” I said and meant it, even though my heart still skipped fearfully as I said those words to Sara, knowing that she could very well demand something that I might not want to give.“Of course, I know you would,” Sara said with pride and a wide smile on her face.“What do you want me to do to make you happy?” I asked, eager to get this over and done with so that I could get approval from her father, and eventually get the contract that we had been denied of getting simply because I had made Sara unhappy.“First of all, these flowers have to go. They made me sick,” Sara said.“Oh, okay, sure,” I said immediately; that was an even easier task.I turned to find somewhere around the living room to trash them, but Sara stopped me.“There won’t be need for that,” Sara said as she signaled on one of the maids standing by.Their household had so many maids and domestic servants and bodyguards that I could barely make out all of them by looking at them.
