Rachel and Donna went out to a cafe not too far away so that they could speak comfortably.

"Tell me now, what happened?" Donna asked before ordering two cups of hot coffee.

"It's about Elijah. He...sob...he asked for coffee but I tripped and spilled it over him and fell onto his laps," Rachel said.

"Wow, that's so melodramatic," Donna interrupted with a smile.

Rachel rolled her eyes and continued.

"So...I was standing up, but he wrapped his arms around me and told me not to stand up. Within the blink of an eye, he had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I was so shocked back then. He didn't seem sleepy at all, so why did he suddenly fall asleep on me? So many questions rushed through my mind. He woke up after about an hour, and I explained everything to him. He didn't say anything in response, so I was nervous and wondered what he was thinking about. He then took out an ointment from his drawer and asked for my hand. I stretched out my hand to him, and he applied the ointment on my hand.

    Donna returned to her desk and continued working. She caught Ivan stealing glances at her from time to time."What is it?" Donna paused and turned to him."You look so beautiful when you're working. I just can't take my eyes off you," Ivan sighed helplessly at the end of his sentence.Donna blushed at his sweet words, shook her head helplessly, and decided to ignore him. She and Ivan had done so many dirty things in this office for the past few days, she was going to ignore him this time.Almost an hour had passed, but Rachel still hadn't caught sight of Elijah. Could he have left the office because of her?Rachel sighed and buried her face in her palms. Of late, so many things had happened. With such a situation, she found it difficult to focus on her work. Today was her first day as his associate, but their relationship had just turned worse.Meanwhile, Elijah was still in the lobby covered in deep sweat. He had managed to control himself and had not changed.Rachel had just lifted

    Donna and Ivan had done it a lot back in the office, and Ivan didn't want to disturb Donna since she was exhausted.This was Ivan's first time in Donna's apartment. He glanced around curiously at the arrangement of things in the small space.There was a small flat-screen television against the wall, two middle-sized sofas in the center, a center table with a flower vase, and a small kitchen on the other side.Donna was currently in the kitchen preparing some hot coffee for the two of them. While in the kitchen, she stole glances at Ivan, who was busily sizing up her living room.What she was most worried about was the fact that her bedroom and bed were small. She was sure the two of them would not be comfortable sleeping on such a small bed.Donna was soon done; she walked out of the kitchen and handed a cup to Ivan."Hmm, tastes great!" Ivan's lips curled up into a smile after taking a sip of the hot coffee.Donna sat beside him, switched on the television, and rested her head on his

    Donna and Ivan dressed up and prepared for work.Ivan left earlier than Donna, and she followed behind him.Rachel met Donna on the way, and they both headed inside the company together."So, how are things between you and Elijah?" asked Donna."Oh... we didn't talk after whatever happened yesterday. I barely slept the whole night thinking about it," Rachel sighed helplessly. She didn't know exactly what to do."So what are you going to do now? Today is a whole new day. I think you should approach him and talk it out with him," said Donna."Talk it out? I can't. I can't bear it if he kicks me out of his office like he did yesterday," Rachel recollected whatever happened the previous day and sighed.Donna sighed and decided it was best not to talk about Elijah anymore.They both entered, and as usual, they met Emma at the receptionist desk. This time, however, she only glanced at them for a minute and looked away.After Donna and Rachel were gone, Emma lifted her head and glanced in th

    Fortunately, it was Ivan's secretary who informed him that he was busy, and the secretary left.This time, Ivan did not do much with Rachel because they both had a lot of things to take care of.They both washed up, changed, and resumed back to their seats.Emma sat at the receptionist desk when she saw a familiar face walk in.It was Lucy, a popular businesswoman who was the role model of many women in the business industry.Emma had seen Lucy on television so many times and knew that Lucy was the ex-wife of the big boss.Lucy was a partner of SOHI SYSTEMS, so Emma knew her very well."Miss Lucy, how may we help you? Do you have an appointment?" Emma stood up from her seat with a polite smile."Who the hell are you?" Lucy rolled her eyes at Emma and bypassed the receptionist desk. She didn't see why she would need an appointment to meet her ex-husband. That damn Ivan definitely still had feelings for her, which was why he had agreed for them to be partners.Lucy knew the way to Ivan'

    Ivan frowned since he didn't understand why Donna was silent and not responding to him."Are you angry?" asked Ivan, his heart skipped a beat.Donna stared straight into his eyes for a while before she chuckled.She wrapped her arms around his waist and planted a kiss on Ivan's cheek."I... I was just admiring you. You're truly the best."Ivan was stunned; he had thought that she was angry or jealous, but she said she was admiring him?"Tell me, why were you admiring me?" Ivan smiled."You're just so awesome. Your ex-wife even wants you back; my man is just so awesome.""So, you weren't jealous or angry?" Ivan was relieved and planted a kiss on her forehead.Meanwhile, Elijah had found a small house in the woods for him, Ivan, and Donna to move into.Rachel didn't know anything about it, and it worried him a lot that he had to leave her for a week.Was she going to be okay without him and Donna by her side?

    Rachel's eyes widened with confusion. She knew that he knew that she had feelings for him because of what happened way back at the bar.But what she didn't understand was why he was suddenly bringing this up. Did he perhaps want to use it against her and fire her?"Sir..." Rachel's heart missed a beat when she spoke; she was somewhat scared and didn't know what to say."I know that you have feelings for me and... I... I also have feelings for you," Elijah immediately let the cat out of the bag.Rachel staggered back when she heard his words; she suddenly felt hot and wondered if there was something wrong with her.Had it become so serious that now she had begun to hallucinate?"You didn't hear wrong, Rachel. Whatever you heard was the truth; I said I have feelings for you," Elijah strode closer to her and held her in his arms."Sir..." Rachel's eyes fell on his arms around her and they widened. What was happening? What was going on? Did Elijah just say that he had feelings for her?"S

    Ivan turned his head toward Donna when he realized that she was behaving oddly.Donna couldn't speak to Ivan's parents about what was happening to her, so she decided to confide in Elijah.She couldn't go out now because she had already gone out a lot, which was wrong; people might start gossiping.Donna took out her phone to text Rachel, but Rachel had already sent her a message a few minutes ago, informing her to head downstairs.It seemed like it was something urgent, so Donna had no choice but to inform Ivan and head out to meet Rachel.At this moment, Ivan received a phone call from Elijah."The house in the woods is ready; we'll move there together with Donna tomorrow," said Elijah."Right." Ivan rested his face in his palms and sighed. The moment he had been so scared of had arrived. It wouldn't be long before he and Donna had to part ways for almost a year."Also, my people caught two vampires the previous night. They were in our hostage, but they managed to escape.""Vampires

    Donna's eyes rolled back, and she almost fell to the ground, but Ivan was fast enough and caught her in his arms.Ivan carried the unconscious Donna into a ward, and she was immediately surrounded by a group of doctors and nurses.After a while, they were done with the checkup, and the head doctor returned to Ivan with a smile."Mister, there's no need to worry. Your wife is perfectly fine, and I have good news as well. Your wife is pregnant. She's four weeks pregnant," the doctor stretched out his hand for a handshake to congratulate Ivan.Ivan shook the doctor's hand, but his mind still had not processed whatever the doctor had said, probably because he was too excited to process it.Ivan immediately turned around and rushed into Donna's ward; she had just woken up and was trying to sit up."What's going on? Where's my mother?" Donna wanted to get out of the bed and see her mother."Donna, calm down. Don't get too emotional; the doctor said you're pregnant with our baby," Ivan embra

    After they finally found a dress that they would wear for the ball, they sent all the designers packing, and the house seemed empty. Isabel and Rachel were both immensely tired.“I'm stressed; I need to go to a spa.”“Well, you can add that to the list of what we have to do tomorrow,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“I really do not like being stressed out. It messes with my brain,” Isabel complained.“I wonder how your husband is coping. To be very honest, you're lazy. You can't even do any hard work for like three hours straight.”“Now, why would I want to do hard work for three hours? I was not made for stress; it's why I have my very loving husband that understands me,” Isabel said, and Rachel laughed.“Well, that's good because if your husband was not Ivan, I wonder what you'd have shown him. The people around you need to be very patient people,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“That's why I have you, Chelsea, Elijah, and Richard. You all love me so much that it's suffocating,”

That's how you'd have forgotten about it. It's important, you know,” Rachel told her.“I'm sorry, I've just been so stressed out, and now you're putting me through a hardcore workout,” she told him.“You need these every morning, you know, so you'll have a clear mind,” Rachel told her.“Clear mind how? I'm so stressed right now, and I can barely think, so please, there's no way I'm having a clear mind with this torture,” she groaned, and Rachel just laughed.“Now come on, it's important to keep fit. Go and take your bath,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“You don't even have to tell me twice. Can't we just tell the designers to come here?”“Well, my house is too cramped up, right?”“My house?

    “I've done a number on him,” Isabel muttered as she plopped down onto Rachel's bed.“Why do you say that?” Rachel asked as she removed her makeup.“He's now acting like a baby around me, like he's scared what might happen if he does some certain things with me. Ivan used to be so confident; he asked if he could hold me earlier after the panic attack,” she told her, and be nodded.“I understand that bit; you just need to be there for him. He needs you this time; make sure you don't let anything happen to him. It's the time to be there for him,” she told her, and Isabel nodded.“I know, I know. I just hope he gets better soon. The panic attack was so deadly to watch; I've never seen him have one. The way he clawed at his throat, Rachel, I don't think I want to see that again. It seemed like he wanted to die, and it drove me insane. I can't bear to see him die, you know,” Isabel told her, and she nodded.“I understand; don't worry. You guys have each other, and you're strong together, so

    “Where the heck have you been, Isabel?” Elijah screamed at her on her way back to the office. Everybody stared at them due to how loud his voice was.“Don't you ever shout at me like that again,” Isabel warned him, and he still looked panicked.“I'm sorry, but everybody has been looking for you.”“Why? I was in Rachel's office; you know that's where I go most of the time.”“Darn it, it's Ivan,” Elijah said as they both got into the elevator.“What's wrong with him?” She asked hurriedly.“He's having those panic attacks again; it's worse this time around. I'm not comfortable leaving him but I was about to go to the announcement room and call your names through the speakers,” Elijah told her, and her own heart dropped.Why was he having these panic attacks? The elevator was not going fast enough; she kept staring at the numbers. She was burning inside, and when the elevator finally opened, she ran out. The people on the floor looked at her, but she didn't care.The man she loved was in

  • CHAPTER 284: Office Talks

    The moment Rachel got to the office, she was greeted by different people, and they complimented her dress. She smiled and felt happy; she liked dressing nicely and being complimented by people. It made her feel good. She quickly made her way to her office to start her work for the day. She had a lot of things to do, and because she didn't come to work yesterday, she knew she had to catch up on a lot of things today.She remembered her night with Dante and smiled as she entered her office. Maybe things were finally starting to be okay for her and Dante. Maybe they could do this after all, but she still didn't know what would happen. She knew that his father was so against the idea, so even if her own parents agreed, she wasn't sure his own father would allow it. She didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to think about it, so she resumed work immediately. She needed to catch up on things. They had a meeting tomorrow where she would have to give her briefing, so she wanted everythi

    She opened her eyes but quickly closed them again. She didn't want to leave the bed; it was too comfortable for her. So, she closed her eyes, intending to go back to sleep. She didn't want to think about anything; she just wanted to continue being in the arms of the man she loved. She burrowed into his arms, but it felt empty. She immediately opened her eyes and looked beside her, only to find an empty space."Dante?" she called out, met with eerie silence. She sighed in disappointment, realizing that he was gone. She had expected him to still be there, and perhaps they could have talked some more. But she kept forgetting that he was a busy man and didn't always have time for what she wanted to do. Although she knew that if she told him she wanted him to stay, he would do so without hesitation, without thinking twice. And she loved him for that.She finally admitted to herself that she was in love with him. She thought as she plopped back down on the bed. She should probably have toda

    After her conversation with her mom, she plopped down on the bed, contemplating her life and what to do next. She had achieved a lot at her age, and living in a cramped house was simply her choice. She could have easily afforded a penthouse for herself, given her hard work and the trust fund that would set her up for life. However, she wasn't lazy; she wanted to work hard and establish a trust fund for her future children as well. She had already started planning and saving for the children she would have, and the amount of money involved was not insignificant. She had clear goals that she wanted to achieve. For now, she knew that she simply wanted children. She didn't desire much more, just like her parents. Whether they came as twins or individually, she wanted kids. As for a husband, she couldn't envision herself with anyone other than Dante. She thought about it constantly, and he was the only person she could imagine being with. It was a strange feeling, but she just knew it. You

    “Mom, come on, tell me. I'm itching to hear about her,” Rachel urged her mother.“Andrea, I don't want to spill your brother's secrets,” she told her, and she pouted.“But he knows all of mine,” she told her, and her mother glared at her.“Mommy.” She gave her that look that she couldn't resist.“Okay, okay.”“Thanks, mommy.”“I'll tell you, but you don't get to use it against him or I'll kill you personally,” her mother told her, and she knew that she took that threat seriously.“So, after you left, you know how your father changes maids in the house every year, except Nora?”“Yes.”“Serena came in as the next batch of maid for the year. It was only supposed to be a year actually. She was assigned to Andre, your brother's chambers. You know the typical boss falls for the maid, whatever. That was exactly what happened, but Serena didn't like him then. She gave him a hard time and she really messed with your brother's mind. He almost went crazy.
