"Christ!" Carla yelled as she was almost thrown over the seat but her seat belt held her back.she pushed her scattered hair out of her face and her pants increased when she saw the reason for the accident she was about to have."Ma'm? Are you okay? It was not my fault, they came out of nowhere" the driver explained as he tried to regain his composure and check on Carla's well being."I told you to drive fast you dumb fuck, you almost killed me so shut the fuck up. I will fire you after this" she yelled at her driver as she unhooked her seatbelt.As soon as she raises her head up, her eyes caught the reason for her mishap coming out of his car, his security holding the door open."That fool, he is going to get it from me" she huffed in grave anger as she unlocked her door and went outside the car, slamming the door shut as hard as she could, her driver flinched and Everest braced himself for what was about to happen."Carla, I..." Everest did not get to finish his apology before Carla

TWO YEARS LATER"I want the mistletoe to be placed at the top of the stairs, a little bit higher and behind the chandelier there. It is to be well hidden and very conspicuous. Couples who will end up there won't see it but we will. And when we do, they kiss. Case closed. what's my schedule for today?" Alphonse asked Peter as he arranged his tie.He was getting ready for work and as usual Peter was there to fill him in on his schedule for the day and right now they were making plans for the Christmas party Alphonse was expected to host.He has started to hate plenty of gatherings of late and they tire him out quickly, mostly because he saw too much of affection and romance between couples and every single time it reminded him of what he had two years ago.Two years ago she left without a trace and he called off his search for her, two years since he had moved on.It was winter now and everyone wanted an invite to the Christmas party the senator was hosting. He had chosen the Christmas

"Everest Clinton, the son of disgraced ex-president John Clinton '' the vote counting was ongoing and the news reporter said that in the news. "I will always have him as a stain on my name," Everest said, chuckling. "You should hear the stories about me being a gold digging pauper, they never stop" Alphonse said and the two men laughed. It's been three months since John was impeached and his Vice assumed power as acting president but the parliament decided on hosting the elections sooner than supposed. John's Vice, Terry Simmons, was blinded with anger when his best friend was stowed away in an asylum and vowed to take over seat to punish Everest since he was also contesting. Everest had wanted to opt out of the race but Carla had sat him down and let him rethink the decision. Everest chose to run the race not for his father but to show him he could do whatever he wanted without his help. So there they were with Olivia as the assistant in charge of the election campaigns and wh

"Hello everyone" Alphonse greeted his board of directors as he sat down. "Good morning sir" they said to him and the whole room stopped their gossip and went quiet "Let's get to business" Alphonse said and some of the group members who had new business ideas stood up and gave a PowerPoint presentation of what their ideas had to offer. Alphonse took time in criticizing the ideas they all brought up, and making the necessary changes and corrections they needed after that, he gave them a second chance and left them with a warning of turning the next innovations down if they don't appeal to him. But in all he was not happy with what they had to offer. The finance market had a blow last night and he had been hit a little bit, now his investors were worried. "Any more questions? I have another meeting to attend to and I believe I have nothing more to discuss here" Alphonse said, signing off some papers Elena had come in earlier with. The board members looked at each other skeptically

"Remember you have to be on the lookout, red hair,slender legs. It's why you are here today, the three of you. That's why you are all here, I won't be going home without knowing who Colette D'amelio is tonight" Alphonse gave out instructions. Someone grumbled. "But you said you didn't want to come. I wanted to be a free elf here tonight and you never wanted to come, all of a sudden you are here giving us tasks when we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves?" Peter asked him with a very bored look. "That's not the point Peter, Denver control your husband before I get angry" Alphonse said and Tina laughed from beside them. "He's all good," Denver said and put an arm around a scowling Peter. "I'm here to party not to be a watchdog" Peter complained and walked away "Besides I brought him here, I accepted the invitation. Not the other way round, cunt!" Peter complained to Denver as they both walked away. "I heard that!" Alphonse said after their retreating figures "I bet you did!" Pe
