FROM STREETS TO SUITES The New CEO.
The Butler led Harrison in. They took the private elevator, to the restricted floor, accessed by only CEO only, and a few other executives that were given permission to enter."Where are we?" Harrison could not help, but ask.He stared at the interior decor of the floor. It was covered with expensive marbles, and was painted in white. It gave off this exquisite taste of richness and wealth."This is the top floor meant for only the CEO. It is one of the restricted areas in the company," the butler explained.Harrison nodded, and kept on following him, observing the whole area of the floor. Soon, they arrived at a door made of glass.The butler took out a card from his pocket, and slid it into the hole. He dragged the card down, and the door clicked open."Wow," Harrison whispered. They went inside, revealing a grand and luxurious office. The office was painted with royal blue and charcoal gray, exuding elegance and masculine glamour.Moving in, Harrison could sight the king-size high
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Wharton School Of Business.
Everything was set. Harrison was enrolled in a business school in Los Angeles. He had yet to meet his parents, but the butler assured him that he would surely meet them after he returned from business school. It was time for him to leave the state for Los Angeles. He was in his room, dressing up when the butler came in. "I see you are already done packing up," he said, helping him arrange his tie. "Yes, I'm done." He confirmed, putting on his black suit. He was about to take his suitcase when the butler asked him not to worry. "No, no. You don't have to do that anymore. You need to get used to this new lifestyle. You are a CEO now," he told him, beckoning one of the men outside to take his suitcase to the car. Harrison nodded, and stepped out of the room, going to the garage. "Young master—" "Call me Harrison, please. You are old enough to be my father, so, please..." The butler smiled, "Harrison, this is Hardy. He will be your personal driver from now on." "Hello,

Harrison had returned to Florida to resume his duty as the CEO of The Gerald's Enterprises. He completely changed from the person he was.This time, he was ruthless and stoic. He never even spared the female gender a glance, because he felt like all they needed was materialistic things.The butler noticed the change in his personality, but could not make him talk about the sudden change in him."Young master, your parents will be back in the country, soon. You will meet with them," the butler announced to him.Harrison nodded his head, and the butler exited the room. In less than two hours, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald were back in the country.Everything was prepared, and they were welcomed by all the servants of Gerald's home.Harrison was clothed in a black two-piece suit, coupled with a white shirt, and a black Italian shoe. His hair was brushed to the back, giving room for his perfect face to show.He stood by the door, waiting for his parents, who smiled and waved at the maids and guards
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Gerald's Mall.
He took a cab to one of the automobile companies. It was a big company known by almost everyone in the country, only that the rich were qualified to buy from them, because of how expensive their automobiles were.Harrison looked up at the building. He took a deep breath and walked in. He met two sales ladies, who rushed to him immediately."Buy from me, sir." They chorused almost at the same time.It happened that the manager of the place wanted to promote one of the sales representatives, but he did not know who to choose.So, to be fair, he placed a bet with them. Whoever sold off two luxurious cars would get promoted, and anyone who sold the most expensive car would get a double promotion.The blonde lady who rushed to Harrison had already sold one and was left with just one more. She sneered at the dark girl and led Harrison to the available cars."Which would you like to buy, sir?" She said, trying to seduce Harrison by giving him seductive glances.Before Harrison could say anyt

Harrison was calm, he didn't say much. He turned away from the counter, beckoning on another worker, whom he saw arranging some new stock in the shelf."Hello, where can I find the men's collection?" He asked.She turned around, smiling at him. She pointed at the other end, "over there, sir."When Harris moved away, she called him back. "Do you need help?"Harrison nodded, and she asked for a couple of minutes. She put the last box on the shelf, and followed Harrison to the men's collection."What would you like to try out first? The suits, shoes, accessories..."Harrison did not answer her, he just walked down to the suits line. He began to pick a few tuxedos and two-piece suits that were his size.On them, were written the size and the price. He did not care about how much it cost, he picked the ones that he wanted; a few black suits, and other colors, like brown and royal blue.He walked to the shoe line, and tried out a few shoes that would be size him. He took about ten of them,
FROM STREETS TO SUITES The Best Applicant.
It was the dream of many to work in the Gerald's Conglomerate.Quinn was not an exception. Right from business school, she had always wished to work in the company, and now was the opportunity for her to showcase her prowess.She filled the applicant form, and clicked ok submit."An email will be sent to you within 24 hours." Was the reply she got after submitting the form.She turned to Veronica, "are you sure they will accept me? You know this application is open to a whole lot of people, and I—""Shush," Vera shut her up. "If you were able to qualify for the scholarship program for the business school is Los Angeles out of all the other applicants, what makes you think you won't qualify for this one? I trust you, Quinn. Believe in yourself."She sighed, and hugged her best friend. What could she have done without Vera as her support? Soon, the application portal was closed, and out of hundreds of people that applied for the position, only fifteen people were picked for the next pr
FROM STREETS TO SUITES First Day At Work.
Quinn kept wondering if the CEO of The Gerald's Conglomerate was the same person as the one she met in the business school. Her mind was far away. She recalled the HR manager's words. "You must have been fortunate to meet the CEO in the business school." She looked at the name of the sender again. Harrison Fitzgerald. Could it be that it was him? She knew his name was Harrison Fitz, but what if it was just the short form of his full name? Harrison Fitzgerald? "Earth to Quinn!" Vera yelled in her ear, startling her, and drawing her out of her thoughts. "What are you thinking about? Aren't you happy?" She asked, looking worried. "What is wrong?" She asked again. "No, no... It's not like that. I'm so happy, I mean, this means a lot to me. It has always been my dream to work there, and now my dream has bee fulfilled, but..." She paused, slowly taking a seat on the couch. "But what, Quinn?" Vera asked, sitting beside her. "The sender... His name," she said, showing Vera th

Quinn did her work perfectly well, and was welcomed by the staff in the company. She was yet to see the CEO, but she had no choice than to be patient. She had just a week more to spend without physically seeing the CEO."Heck, I cannot wait to meet the CEO." Nat squealed, startling poor Quinn, who was so focused with work."What?" She asked, still trying to focus on her work."Have you not heard the news yet?" She asked her, but Quinn shook her head."What news?" Quinn questioned, a little frown appearing on her face."Ugh, what planet do you reside in?" Nat said, slapping her forehead, "the news about the CEO. Mr. Gerald will be introducing his son to the public, and then, he would resume his duty as the CEO of the conglomerate. Goodness, I cannot wait to see him!" Natasha squealed, twirling around."Whatever, you should better get back to work." Although she pretended not to be interested in the news, she was intrigued and curious. She could not wait for the day to come when she wo

Yours, Forever.
Harrison stood outside the hospital. The air was filled with the scent of freedom and relief, at last.It had been some depressing and stressful months. But tonight was different. Tonight, he felt lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.The glass doors of the hospital slid open, and Harrison walked out, his tall frame silhouetted against the bright lights of the lobby. Harrison took a deep breath and stepped forward to Ivan. For a moment, neither of them spoke, the silence was eerie. Then, Harrison broke it."Ivan," he began, his voice steady, "I know I hurt Quinn. I know I messed up in ways I can't even begin to describe. But... I’m truly sorry."Ivan’s gaze was hard as he studied Harrison, his eyes searching for sincerity. Then, with a slow, deliberate nod, he replied, "I believe you, Harrison. And I can see how much you love my sister. Just... don’t make me regret this."Relief flooded through Harrison, and without thinking, he extended his hand. After a b
Death.
The night air was thick with tension. Harrison stood firm, his gaze locked with Jacob’s as they faced off under the dim glow of the moonlight. Jacob’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint, a crazed smile twitching at the corners of his lips.“So, you want one of us to die, huh?” Harrison’s voice was steady, though his heart raced wildly in his chest. “You think that’s the only way this ends?”Jacob nodded slowly, his smile widening. “Oh, I know it is. One must die for the other to live, Harrison. No way out of that. And you, Harrison, will die.”Quinn stood behind Harrison, her entire body shaking as she watched the two men. The man she loved and the man who had traumatized her in the past.Tears streamed down her cheeks as fear coiled in her stomach like a venomous snake.“Please, stop this,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Both of you, just—”Jacob laughed, a hollow, chilling sound that cut through her plea like a blade. “No more running, no more hiding. Let’s settle this once and
Back Door And Race.
The aftermath of the explosion left a thick cloud of smoke and dust settling in the air just outside the house. Harrison grabbed Quinn's hand, pulling her close as they stumbled backwards, away from the shattered window. He looked at Quinn, panic etched into his face as the sound of the phone ringing pierced through the chaos. It was Jacob again.Quinn’s eyes widened with fear as she realized how serious Jacob was. Her body trembled, and she screamed, covering her ears, trying to block out the shackles collapsing around her. Harrison watched her, his heart aching at her terror. He pulled her close, whispering reassurances, but his own fear was evident.Jacob’s voice on the other end was disturbingly calm, a contrast to the chaos he had just unleashed. “I’m warning you. Involve the police, and you’ll face more than just an explosion.”Harrison’s jaw tightened as he gripped the phone. “What do you want, Jacob?” he demanded.“I only want Quinn,” Jacob replied coolly. “And I’m giving y
Truth And Explosion.
Harrison’s voice was calm, yet filled with remorse as he recounted the painful memories that had tormented him for years. He hesitated before speaking again, his gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding Quinn’s eyes.“I’ve been carrying this guilt for a long time,” he began quietly, “ever since Stella… I wasn’t ready to be a father. I didn’t know how to deal with the situation or how to support her the way she deserved. I was reckless, neglectful even, and I regret every moment of it.”Quinn remained silent, her expression unreadable. Despite her efforts to maintain her composure, her heart tightened with sympathy and confusion.Harrison took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if releasing a burden that had been suffocating him. “I remember that day like it was yesterday,” he continued, his voice trembling slightly. “Stella and I had an argument that morning. It wasn’t anything serious, just about trivial things and then she left the house. I didn’t think much of it. I saw her hurry up, head
Tell Me.
The drive to Quinn’s secluded apartment was silent. Ivan’s eyes stayed locked on the road, his knuckles white against the steering wheel. Beside him, Eva cradled baby Eric, her gaze drifting between the passing scenery and her husband’s hardened profile. Harrison, unbeknownst to Ivan, had followed secretly from a distance. He trailed their car cautiously, never letting it out of his sight.Quinn’s apartment was a small cottage, nestled in a deserted outskirt of the city. It was the perfect hideaway, but the isolation only made her feel more hurt. It had been almost a week since she had spoken to anyone other than her doctor and Ivan.See was not ready to see anyone, especially not her brother, but she knew they would come sooner or later.When she saw Ivan’s car pull up outside, she took a deep breath, bracing herself for what was sure to be an emotional encounter.“Quinn,” Eva greeted softly as she stepped inside, carrying baby Eric in her arms. She smiled gently, trying to mask h
Only Hope.
Harrison paced back and forth in his apartment, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had tried calling Quinn multiple times, only to be met with silence. Each unanswered call, each unread message fueled his frustration. He couldn’t get through to Ivan either. Everyone seemed to have locked him out. The only person he could think of now, the only one who might listen was Eva.His finger moved over her number. He knew calling her was risky. She was, after all, Ivan’s wife. But he was desperate. He needed someone to hear him out before everything goes out of control.Taking a deep breath, he pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before he heard her soft voice on the other end.“Harrison?” Eva sounded surprised. “Is everything okay?”“Eva, please—I need to see you,” he blurted out, his voice laced with desperation. “Just for a few minutes. It’s important.”She hesitated, her silence making him worried. “I don’t know, Harrison. Ivan wouldn’t like it if he found out we met.”
My Turn.
Harrison sat in the dark, his hands buried in his hair as he stared at the blinking phone screen. Quinn’s voice replayed in his mind, cold and distant.“Never call me again.”The four words had shattered him, and now he felt the pang of every secret he had kept from her. Jasmine stood beside him, her expression torn between anger and pity.“It’s not the end of the world, Harrison,” Jasmine murmured, reaching out to place a hand on his shoulder. “Quinn is angry, but if you explain—”“Explain?” Harrison cut her off, his voice laced with a bitterness that surprised even himself. “Explain what, Jasmine? That I’m a coward who let Jacob control me? That I was too scared to tell the woman I love about something that could destroy her trust in me forever?”Jasmine’s gaze softened. “It wasn’t your fault, Harrison. What happened to Stella and the baby was an accident. You know that. She knows that.”“But she doesn’t know!” Harrison exclaimed, his frustration spilling over. He stood abruptly, kn

Running Away.
Quinn’s heart felt like it had been shattered into a thousand pieces as she sped away from Harrison’s office. The images, the recordings, Jacob’s smug grin...everything played on repeat in her mind. Harrison’s face as she confronted him was burned into her memory, and it only deepened her pain. How could he have kept something like this from her? How could he have betrayed her trust so completely?When she finally pulled into Ivan’s house, she barely had the strength to get out of the car. She didn’t even need to knock before the door flew open, revealing Ivan’s concerned face. He must have known something was wrong the moment she locked herself up all night.“Princess,” he mouthed, his eyes scanning her tear-streaked face. “What happened?”Quinn’s composure broke as she launched herself into his arms, sobs racking her body. Ivan held her tight, his jaw clenched in silent fury. Whatever had caused this, he knew it had something to do with Harrison. His mind raced, imagining a hund
