JEROME It hasn’t even been ten minutes and her presence already haunts me.The way she felt in my arms, it was as if they were molded just to hold her. It just felt… right.I huffed as I stared at my computer screen, looking at the documents displayed, yet I was not seeing them, my vision and mind was clouded by something else instead… someone else. Why can’t I let her go?I thought to myself as I scrolled through the files, the memory of her in front of the restaurant imprinted in my mind. All the things she’d said. How firm she held on to her belief.Why do I keep going back?It was highly unlike me to be this persistent, to be this… troubled because of a woman. The last time this happened… No. I won’t let it get to that point. Never again. My train of thoughts were put to a halt when the door to my office was opened suddenly, Jasmine barging in with a pout.“Jay what’s happening to you??” She frowned as she began her ranting. “You’ve been avoiding me.”“And yet here you are.”

DIANA It felt like the whole world was crashing down on me and I was buried beneath the rubble. “Oh, my god…” I gasped, my eyes watering as I stared at the figurines. Every single one of them, perfectly designed to highlight this event, days spent working to build this piece - shattered to pieces. I turned to the woman next to me, eyes wide from shock, “How did this happen??” I asked, my voice laced with panic. “I don’t know maam...” The staff shook her head frantically, the alarm clearly worn on her face. “What do you mean you don’t know???” I burst out, unable to contain my frustration, “When the trucks were loaded I checked every single one, and they were all in perfect shape!”“I-I called you the moment I saw it maam” She stammered, her hands clenched to the side.“Who the hell is in charge of offloading the trucks!!?” I yelled, turning to the other workers, as my blood boiled in rage.“I’m the one, maam” One of the staff rushed out, his face paling as he caught sight of th

JEROMEAn ambush awaited me as I reached the hotel. My brows furrowed as the incessant flickers of flashing lights attacked relentlessly. I’ve grown used to this assault, it’s the same every single year, and unfortunately, not in any way less irritable. “Boss, are you ready?” My bodyguard said, from the front seat, his eyes on the rear view mirror. I gave him a nod of approval, and he stepped out of the car and opened the door for me.I immediately squint my eyes, filled with annoyance. I’ve never enjoyed interactions with the press, and I avoid them when I can… like now. I straightened my suit and strode into the hotel, paying deaf ears to the calls of the pests clinging on to their cameras. As I walked into the hall, a small smile grew on my face as I was greeted with nothing short of an air of elegance. The entire hall was bathed in soft golden lights from the crystal chandeliers above, wisps of rainbow light bouncing off the glass as it refracted. The drapes wrapped round t

DIANA I stared at him, my mouth parted slightly as he fumed. The last time I saw him angry was when I was speaking to David. Even then, he wasn’t this furious. His eyes took a darker shade of bluish grey, laced with anger as he stared at me, his fists clenched at his side. Don’t tell me…“What are you talking about?” I asked, as my brows furrowed. He sighed, his eyes closing for a moment before opening once more, like he was trying to calm himself.It wasn’t really working.“What were you doing with him?” He questioned, his grey eyes narrowed at me. So he was angry because I was with that guy? “We were just talking and-” I tried explaining, but he cut me off sharply.He scoffed, “Talking??” There was an edge to his voice as he stared down at me, a dark smirk on his lips. “ So what did he say that was so funny??”“It was just a friendly conversation.” I frowned, staring down hallway with pursed lips. Thankfully it was empty.For now.“And he kissed your hand.” He looked disgust

DIANA Oh my God. The woman stared with parted lips, Jerome glared hard at her, her eyes widened when she realized she’d been looking too long for comfort before averting her eyes. “Oh! Oh My god, I’m sorry sir!” She blurted out turning and slammed the door behind her as she fled. Oh my God. How did I not hear her?? It seemed I was the only one having an internal breakdown. This man went back to kissing my neck like we weren’t just caught. “Just stop.” I pursed my lips, staring to the side in embarrassment. I just needed a hole to fall in right now… “Are you sure?” He smirked at me. “Y-yes.” I responded, my voice quivering. He stepped away from me, a smirk still playing on his face. God, he was handsome. But that wasn’t what was important right now!! “Now she’ll tell everyone that she saw me shoving my tongue down the CEO’s throat!” I huffed as I took a step back, my back leaning on the sink. “Well, She's not wrong.” He chuckled, his hands sliding into his pockets
