Jake's head was in a spin as he waited with a beating heart for Dorin's response. "Well, yes, I was. But we are divorced already. It was a secret one. I'm now engaged to Brent." she responded and Jake scoffed. They assumed he had signed the document, good for him because he was going to use it against them sometime."See my handsome boy on TV" He jerked when he heard Mandy murmur. He had not noticed she was back with his wine."What?" He asked his attention, snapping to her."The news guy is my son". Mandy said, smiling widely."Which of them?" He asked his eyes, turning back to the TV."The one on the orange shirt who just asked the couple some questions". Mandy responded smiling."Mmmm. That's nice. I should have a job for him. Do you mind giving me his number?" Jake asked Mandy, smiling."Of course sir. Thank you so much. I'll write it down for you before I go" she replied, all giddy."Sure. Thank you, Mandy" Jake said and smirked as his eyes went back to the TV. The beautiful fe

Earl Mayor had heard of a new shipping company while he was still out of the country doing business. He wondered why the sole entrepreneur had not reached out to him but had made plans to open his business. He had kept wondering if he didn't know the procedures which included talking to the top models of a particular business one wanted to do to get advice that would help build theirs. It was the young owner's loss not his after all. Why would that bother him? He had determined not to grace the occasion with his presence as he wasn't given an invite and that on its own was not business-like for the city of Los Angeles.Not until two days before the opening ceremony did he finally get an invite packaged with an apology which was a relief to him as his proof was already getting hurt. Unlike other companies, he wouldn't have gone for the opening but this company held a future for him. He would nurture REBIRTH to his taste and use it to benefit himself as well. Surprisingly, he found o

Jake knocked at Seff's door and waited patiently for it to be opened."You again!" He heard the familiar voice scoff at him. "Good evening ma'am, it's me again but I came in the evening so I won't disrupt your plans". He asked, making her stifle a laugh. "Come on in, we were about to have dinner and now you'll take Seff away from the table right? ""Gracious me! I seem to always come at the wrong time" Jake said, faking a frown and putting his hands on his chest. "You are so cheesy. Remain at the door if you so wish" She said and left the door open for him to make his choice to either come in or not. "Who is that? " Jake overheard Seff's voice and walked in after Sanaya. "It's your friend who doesn't have a happy home, looks like his wife finally sent him packing" She smirked glancing back at Jake and Jake felt a little pang of pain at the comment. "She did that four months ago." He responded by trying to get her hurt. Sanaya stopped in her tracks and turned back to him slowly

"Let's talk in the study before someone finds out that her most admired model is her enemy," Seff said laughing and Jake laughed alongside him."Funny thing is that she'll still find out sooner or later," Jake said and Seff nodded affirmatively."I hope I'll be there to see the look on her face, it will be precious," Seff said laughing as they walked into his study room together."You've done well, Jake. I should apologize for missing your opening ceremony but trust me I watched every single detail of it on the News. " Seff told Jake. "Well, I missed it too. So… " And they both burst out laughing. "I think I should be secretive too about our partnership because I can't say for real who is the enemy and who is not. So, let's have each other's back without the public's knowledge, trust me, it'll go a long way. " Seff said, stretching out his hands for a handshake. "I'm all in, boss," Seff replied, shaking the outstretched hands."So, how has business been? Any contact from the Mayors

"Good morning boss." The head of the workers said into the phone."Yeah. How was the trip? What's the report?" Jake asked the worker."It was successful, sir. We arrived with the ship this morning and the goods are being transported into the delivery vans.""That's good news. Every financial record is sent to me directly and not through the manager. Okay?" He ordered."Yes sir. I'll send them immediately when we are done with delivery.""Good. I'll be waiting for your call and report." Jake said and hung up before sitting on his chair.He missed his children as it has been months. He just wanted to see their faces again and encourage them that he didn't leave them.For the first time, Jake thought of spying on his children as they were taken to school.

Jake stood at the gate of Samara's house and pressed his car horn to alert her of his arrival first before he walked up to the gate to escort her to his car.The sight of Samara in a simple lilac gown stunned him and brought him out of the disturbing thoughts he had been having since the day before when he read that text message.He watched her walk gracefully, down the steps to meet him and he smiled widely."What have my eyes done to deserve beholding the sight of such beauty." He commented and Samara smiled."You are always complimenting me. Even when I'm in a simple gown like this, don't you ever give up?" Samara was blushing."It is a simple gown indeed as I can't take my eyes off you because of how simple it is. You look stunning ma'am. You are bound to destroy the hearts of many and give sleepless night stop the poor in heart." He said stretching his hands to her and she laughed heartily before putting her own hands in them."Please, let's go. You never lack lines to impress a

"Their house is so beautiful, look at those beautiful flowers. They have good taste. " Samara kept admiring Seff Newton's house as she stepped down from the car after laughing at Jake's lost stares at Sanaya. "Yes, it is indeed one beautiful place. I have not yet gotten used to the beauty that hits me each time I step into this compound. " Jake responded agreeing with her and she smiled back at him as the beautiful lady approached them. "That's the popular Sanaya Newton, right?" Smart asked as she watched her approach them with a beautiful and genuine smile that brightened up her face in the illuminated lights. "Hello Mr. Jake." Sanaya greeted Jake with this sudden sly intonation that made Jake wonder what he had done right that day to deserve her politeness and good words. "Hello Sanaya. I bet you are in a good mood today and that's the only reason you've not reminded me that I don't have a happy home." Jake said trying to bring her out of her polite nature and reveal her to Sama

"That was my convocation ceremony. Seff was the most overactive and overprotective family member present. He didn't allow me out of his sight and greeted all my colleagues with me. I felt like I was in primary school graduation and not a convocation." Sanaya told her and they both laughed."That's sweet, you know. Having a brother who looks out for you." Samara said recalling that hers was nothing to write him about when it came to family members. Michael wasn't at all interested in her endeavors since the day she had left him."You have a brother too?" Sanaya asked her and she smiled."Yes, but I'm the elder and he isn't as lovey dovey as your brother." Samara told her."Have you tried acting the bigger sister?" Sanaya asked her again and she smiled. "We had our disagreements when we were younger but he never forgave me no matter how I pleaded later on. So, he hasn't given me a Chance to act like one as he always acts that he was fine and capable of taking care of himself." Samara s

In the quiet solitude of her room, Dorin's thoughts and feelings swirled within her like a storm. She felt the weight of her mistakes and the consequences of her actions pressing down on her, and the regret seemed almost suffocating. Her heart ached with the knowledge that Jake had moved on, that he had found someone else to share his life with, and that she had missed her chance to make amends.Throughout the nights that followed, Dorin found herself plagued by a deep sense of longing and the bitter sting of regret.

"Looks like you're finally taking a break from your virtual world, huh?" he teased as he launched himself at her with a pillow.Samara laughed and dodged his attack, playfully swatting him back with another pillow. They had been best friends since childhood, and their playful banter had only grown more lighthearted and flirtatious as they grew older together. But Samara had always seen Seff as just a friend, and she was content to keep it that way.Or so she thought.As they continued to playfully spar, Samara found herself getting lost in Seff's eyes. They were a deep, warm brown, framed by thick lashes she had always envied. She felt a flutter in her chest, and she quickly looked away, feeling self-conscious.Seff see

Oh my god, it's so good to see you!" exclaimed her friend, Rachel.Sanaya returned the embrace warmly before pulling back slightly to take in her friend's appearance - Rachel looked just as she remembered her from college; her curly brown hair framing her face perfectly as she wore a bright red dress that hugged her curves in all the right places - but there was something different about her too; something Sanaya couldn't quite put her finger on at first."What's going on, guys? Why are you all dressed up like this?" Sanaya asked, looking around at the other women in the group.They all smiled at her, their eyes shining with excitement as they pulled out their phones one by one - Sanaya's heart sank as she realized what
