The alarm rang again and this time it was way louder. Zen pushed her off a bit and dashed out of the House. Stella picked her bag and followed behind him She was a little disappointed but she knew the urgency that was requested. "What's the next line of action?" She asked as soon as they were in the car.Zen took out his phone and glanced over it for a few seconds."we are to assemble in from of the inventory," he said, started the car's ignition and then drove off as quickly as he could.The speed was one that would have sent chills down the spine of those who happened to ear. He didn't have a single worry at that time except getting to the spot where they were to assemble.Soon, he arrived there without sweats all over his hands and face. He parked in the garage and alighted as quickly as he could with Stella beside him.His gaze locked in hers for a few seconds and then it moved towards Stella who was a few paces away from Zen."You arrived just in time," she began with her lips pu

Zen got to work just in time for the first appointment he had that morning. To think he had completely forgotten about it and only remembered later..He got dressed, got into his car and drove off in his car as quickly as he could, the memories of Stella still fresh in his head.He remembered the ultimatum that was given to him by Ariel and it only made him sad. He had just a week left to be with Stella before he got rid of her and yes, he was going to enjoy every minute of it.Getting rid of Stella was going to be the most painful thing he would ever have to do but he didn't have a choice especially if he wanted to remain alive himself.He had heard tales of Stefan and it became evident how cruel he was and could be to anyone who defiles him.A frustrated sigh escaped from his lips as he fixed his gaze on the road before him. He sighed again, the weight of it resting immensely on his shoulders. A quarter of an hour after, he drove into the parking lot that belonged to his company an

Stella stood behind her desk, her eyes lingering on Nelson, the new intern in the tech department. He was tall, with dark hair that fell neatly over his forehead, and his eyes held a certain spark whenever they met hers. It was a spark that made her heart flutter, a glint that made her blush.As Stella addressed all the interns, welcoming them to the company and wishing them success in their internship program, she couldn't help but notice Nelson's attentive gaze. It seemed as though he was hanging on to her every word, his eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine.Once her speech was over, Stella dismissed the interns, watching as they filed out of the room, chatting excitedly amongst themselves. But Nelson lingered for a moment, his gaze still fixed on her."Is there anything else, Nelson?" Stella asked, trying to keep her voice steady despite the fluttering in her chest.Nelson's lips curled into a shy smile. "No, nothing. Thank you, Stella," he repl

"How could you even think of something like that? We should get rid of Sir Stefan?" Her eyes expanded as she asked that question.Zen shrugged his shoulders with complete indifference. "And what does it matter? If he wants to get rid of my Stella, then I shall as well get rid of him.""You would try no such thing, Zen!" She said in a loud and firm voice that would have been heard by Zen's secretary where she was."You really think I wouldn't? Let's watch and see!" Zen said to her with high confidence. Ariel was pissed beyond she could take anymore. She slammed her hands against the table and walked briskly out of the office.The moment she was gone, Zen rose to his feet and began to pace around the office. At this point, he knew he had to come up with a plan and as fast as possible.He was sure Ariel was going to go relate all he said to her boss Stefan and he wouldn't take likely to his threat. "What should I do now?" He muttered under his breath.An idea struck within him within the

Stella was kind enough to drop Zen at his office before driving off. She said no words and though, he tried to strike a conversation with her as they pressed on, it just wasn't working. She didn't budge and neither did she give as little as q glance in his direction.As she pulled up in front of the premise that belonged to Zen's compound, she pressed the button by the side of the door and then it came open. Zen glared hard cat jer with a sigh escaping from his lips."Aren't you going to say anything to me? I'm extremely sorry, Stella!' he said, sounding genuine.She shot him a demeaning look end he took his hand off at once. He was in for almost a minute and only came out when he realized she wasn't going to yield to him.Zeb exhaled again and went into the building, a sullen look all over him. He had a firm hope at the back of his mind that she would come around soon enough. If he was in her shoes, he would have been upset as well.His secretary whose head was buried in her head sm
