She was surprised that he let her go. The Harrison she knew now would seize every opportunity to frustrate her."What? Do you need anything else?" He asked, creasing his brows, as he stopped typing."N... no, sir. Sorry, thank you." She stuttered and bowed out. She walked out of the office to hers, and sat down, wondering if he had ulterior plans for her."Hey, I brought you lunch."She looked up, her eyes met that of Kimberly. Her face brightened up, as she heard her voice."Hey!" She said, hugging her. "How've you been? You've sort of been occupied lately, and I don't really get to see you anymore. Mr. Fitz even stopped you from coming to the cafeteria, where we usually meet," Kimberly expressed, wearing a sad face.Quinn gave her a reassuring smile, rubbing her shoulder to comfort her. "I'm always here, okay? I'm sure he will lift his restrictions on me, and we'll see again. And yes, I am really busy. I'm taking a two-day leave from work, I have something important to attend to,"

Quinn jumped out of the bed, as though she was poured a bucket of water."Did you have to shout?" She said, feeling annoyed that she had woken up from sleep."Quinn Rodriguez, you are an hour and thirty minutes late for work. Do you know what your boss will do to you?" Vera expressed, worrying for her."Take a chill pill, mother. I took two days off from work; one day to rest, and the other day for the silly banquet," she explained. "Now, please can you not shout anymore? I still need to sleep some more," she added with sleepy eyes.She collapsed back on the bed and dozed off immediately. Vera sighed and walked out. She must have really been tired, she thought.She saw Ivan going towards her room and stopped him in time before he could turn the door knob."Hey, hey. She is still asleep. She will bury you alive if you disturb her," she warned, walking away to the kitchen.At exactly 11 am, Quinn finally woke up. With puffy eyes, she wore her slippers and made her way to the kitchen.
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Houston, Texas.
Quinn knew his schedule. He did not have any invitation, so she didn't think he would show up there. More reason she was carefree."I know you are mad at me. I should have supported both of you, but I let the family business go into the wrong hands. I'm sorry, Quinn, but it's never too late to make a change, is it? He is only there as the acting CEO, there is still a chance for you and your brother. I'll support the right people this time, and that is you and your brother," he stated, causing her to smile."Thank you, grandfather."As of then, the music had ended. He kissed her on the forehead and hugged her, before leaving to meet business people he once worked with.She walked over to Ivan with a broad smile on her face. She wrapped her hands around his neck and hugged him tightly."What's the good news?" Ivan asked, smiling even before she told him what it was about."Grandfather has agreed to support us. He is just an acting CEO, and he acts like he really owns the company. Like a
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Jasmine In Texas.
The lady was not sure who to follow; Quinn or Harrison. She decided to meet Quinn, because she was the one with emotional pain, and needed support.She followed the direction which Quinn had run towards, and found her in the dark, sitting alone. She slowly walked up to her and crouched down."Hi, are you okay?" She asked, and Quinn lifted her head, her face coming into light.She slowly shook her head, trying to make out the face of the person in front of her."What is wrong? You can talk to me," Jasmine pressed on."Who are you?"Jasmine did not say a word. She patted her on the back, which made her cry the more."Why did he have to hurt me? Was it bad that I fell in love with him? I'm starting to regret ever meeting him because my whole life became a mess after meeting him. I was ready to start a new life with him, but all he did was leave me and believe whatever anyone told him about me." She sobbed aloud, covering her face."I totally understand how you feel. How about not telling
FROM STREETS TO SUITES An Agreement.
"Why the hell would be propose that? Did you accept?" Ivan asked after Quinn had narrated what transpired between her and her cousin."I didn't say anything. He asked me to think about it. I don't know what to do, Ivan. If I successfully get The Gerald's Conglomerate to partner with our family company, then, we could prove to Grandfather that we are capable of running the company. This is a huge opportunity for us, Ivan.""No, princess. You will do no such thing. Don't you know who you are dealing with? George Kendrick! He is corny and definitely has something up his sleeves. Don't fall for his games, princess. We will find a way to get the company and prove to Grandfather that we are capable," Ivan stated, trying to make her see his view.She sighed and walked away. She returned to her room and began to think of what to do.George was only acting as the CEO, so that meant that Grandfather was still managing most of the company's affairs. She was convinced that her grandfather knew ab

The gloominess on her face did not escape the visibility of others. They all noticed that she was down, and sad. All efforts to make her speak up or even cheer her up failed."Quinn, you have been like this for the past two days. What is wrong?" Kim asked, bringing her lunch."Nothing, Berley. I'm fine, I just have a lot of work to do," she said, focusing on the screen of the computer.Immediately she was done with work, she picked up her bag and left. Harrison watched her through the window and felt hurt."Hardy, if you have sex with someone, and the lady bleeds, what does it mean?" He asked, looking out of the window."It only means one thing; the lady is a virgin." Hardy replied, and soon he asked, "Wait! Did you have sex with—""Do you think I misunderstood her?" He asked, still staring outside until she took a cab home."Well, I have something for you. It's about Ms. Rodriguez."Quinn reached the house, and walked in, ignoring everyone in the sitting room, including her brother.
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Resignation Letter.
She served him his usual coffee and read out his schedule. She didn't give him a chance to say anything, she walked out of the office.Making sure that there was nothing that would make her come back to the company or get in contact with Harrison, she printed out the resignation letter and put it inside the envelope."Hmm," she sighed and kept the letter aside. She packed up her bag and made sure that the office was cleared, looking like the first day she came, only that memories would be left behind.However, she did not care. There were only bittersweet memories that she did not want to keep in.She walked out of the office to the cafeteria, since it was lunch break. She did not care if she was breaking his rules, after all, in a few minutes, she would no longer be a member of the company anymore."Quinn!" Kimberly yelled, waving at her to join them.She gave her a signal that said that she was coming. She walked to the counter and ordered just a bottle of water."Hey, guys." She sm

They all watched as Quinn took out a carton box, containing her belongings out of the company. They wondered why she had to leave."Miss Ro, are you really leaving us? Who will deal with the CEO? You do very well that no one can tolerate the CEO more than you do," the sales representative said to her, giving her pleading eyes."You all will be fine, okay? My reasons are quite personal, I can't reveal it to any of you. I just hope you understand, but I will be coming over most time to visit you all. Just do your jobs properly, and there will be no problem. I assure you," she said to all of them, bidding them goodbye, as she turned to leave.Kim ran to her, throwing her arms around her neck. She hugged her tightly, her eyes looking watery as she tried not to cry."Won't you at least tell me what is going on?" She asked for the umpteenth time.Quinn sighed, wishing she could disclose it to her, " I wish I could, Kim. The thing is, it is more complicated than you think. One day, you will

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
