"To us…" Richard Langston said as he raised his glass up for a toast.With a smile etched on Catherine's face, she said in return, "To us." Then they clinked their glasses together before drinking from each other's glass of wine.That was a sweet moment between them as they were celebrating their one-year anniversary. And to them, it was the best thing ever.But as they did their thing, there was someone watching them not too far away but right inside the restaurant they were having their anniversary date.It was Edna, Richard's legal wife, in a disguise that could as well prevent anyone from recognizing it was her except on a closer inspection.She followed the couple all the way to the restaurant, contempt brewing in her as she monitored their discreet activities. And yeah, she was able to get a decent picture of the two of them."I'm glad we're doing this," Richard told Catherine as he reached out for her hand on the table."Me too," Catherine muttered."It's crazy how it has been

Gina took a deep breath before knocking on the door that she believed led into the office of Mr. Benson Uriel of the New Age Holdings."Come in," the husky voice of the man behind the door ushered her in and she reluctantly pushed the door open to get into the man's office.The man was seated right behind his desk in the large office that could easily accomdate two smaller ones needed to get the job done for other workers.There was this mischievous smile mounted on Mr. Uriel's face that gave her the creeps as she approached his desk.The man stood up to acknowledge her immediately with an outstretched hand that Gina had a hard time taking. But she had to if she wanted things to go smoothly."Have a seat, please," he offered her."Thank you," she said.She put the documents she had with her on the table."These are the necessary things you requested for from my company. Everything needed to seal this deal is right there," she told the man who looked more interested in staring at her f

The restaurant which Mr. Uriel chose for their lunch was a fancy one. Certainly one that fit his class as a businessman.Despite the restaurant being in kind of an open environment, it wasn't enough to make Gina less calm.She has been tense since they first got in and the whole time she kept looking around, her eyes lingering about to find something she didn't list."You haven't touched your meal," Mr. Uriel said, forcing her attention back to him.She looked down at her plate of food and then looked back up at him. "I'm actually not hungry," she stated."I see," Mr. Uriel hummed as he picked up a piece of tissue which he used to clean his mouth. "You're not hungry or you just refuse to eat because it's with me?""Why am I here, Mr. Uriel?" Gina had to ask. Her tone clearly stated that she wasn't pleased with the whole setting."To have lunch with me, Miss Gina.""And…?""Discuss the contents of the contract that the New Age Holdings is supposed to sign.""Then let's get to the most

Derek already received a text from Gina earlier on which described her present location. And when he checked through the location via the map, it turned out to be a restaurant close to the Kingston's Hotel.Everything looked to be intertwining for Derek. But at the same time it made his activities less comfortable.It would have been a great thing if one of them wasn't less important than the other. Still it didn't change the fact that he had to look through one first before checking the other out.However, when he looked at the time, henoticed how time had gone since he received the text from Edna that indicated where his wife was.The fortunate part now was that the location of the two destinations were close by so he could at least kill two birds with one stone.He could tell that he was close to the Kingston's Hotel already. The closer he got, the more he worried about the scene he was going to meet when he eventually arrived at the venue.Derek found a space in the parking lot o

It took Derek a while to process the sight. And by that time, he was more than ready to do something that he shouldn't normally do.His face went in the direction of the naked Mr. Uriel who was in a dilemma. Anger and hatred consumed Derek as he looked at the man."You bastard!" he screamed at the man as he took out his phone and began taking multiple pictures of the scene."Stop that. What do you think you're doing?" The man asked as he tried to move away from the unconscious woman on the bed."What did you do to her, you bastard? What did you do?" Derek barked at the man as he pocketed his phone and began approaching him."I didn't do anything to her…""You didn't do anything yet she's lying on the bed unconscious?""Don't come near me. Stay back!"But Derek wasn't listening. Once he was right in front of the man, he balled his hand into a fist and punched the living day out of him.The punch sent the man down to the floor but Derek picked him up through the neck and then dished ano

Derek finally summoned the courage to reach out to Edna. This was hours after he was sure Gina was stable."Why the hell didn't you pick up my calls?" Edna sort of screamed into his ear immediately she picked up his call.He had to shift the device away from his ear a bit before speaking. "There was an emergency that I had to tend to," he said as brief as possible."What sort of emergency would prevent you from just sending a text at least?""An emergency that involved someone's life.""I see," her voice went lower than before. "Did you get through with the plan? Please tell me you did."He sighed. "I couldn't—"Edna didn't let him finish his statement before she barked at him. "Are you crazy? You missed out on this opportunity after everything I went through to make this work?""Calm down first," Derek tried to pacify her."Don't tell me to calm down! Don't fucking tell me to calm down! Why on earth would you not go through with the plan when you were just right there?""Will you lis

"So, how did you find out about the scene you witnessed?" the first officer asked Derek."I received a call from my colleague, Gina," Derek started to say, accompanied by scribbling from the other officer into a note. "She wanted me to meet up with her at a restaurant where she was supposed to have a meal with Mr. Uriel but I decided to check in at a nearby hotel first before heading to the restaurant…""That hotel is the hotel you found them, isn't it?""Yes," Derek affirms with a nod."And who is Mr. Benson Uriel to you and her?""A business partner. He's an administrative head in the New Age Holdings and my company, the Cora Limited, is in the middle of a contract deal with his company.""I see," the officer stated, a neutral look mounted up on his face. "If I may ask, why did you choose to check in at the hotel first? Were you already informed by your colleague about her being there with him?""Not at all. I chose to check in first because I wasn't planning on heading back to the

'Where are you?'Derek received that text some minutes after he arrived at the coffee shop not too far from his office.It was a text from Catherine. And for a few seconds, he didn't know what response to give to it.He was drained. Pretty muvh exhausted from having to use all of his energy throughout the day. All he needed was a break.It was the reason he went to the coffee shop at first. He was supposed to get to the company after recalling his left his house keys there but a hot drink was what he needed first.He finally texted back.'At the coffee chop beside the company.''Good. Cause I'm close to your office now,' was the text he received from Catherine in return.He was going to be having company when all what he wanted was time alone to himself. He really didn't want to be with someone right now, especially if that someone was the reason for his stress in the first place.'Okay. I'll be here,' he texted back reluctantly and hit the 'send' button before dropping his phone on t

"What are you talking about?" Marcus asked, his expression a mixture of confusion and surprise."You know what I'm talking about. Stop acting like you don't," Derek said."Well, I don't. And I'll be leaving now before you consume me with your bullshit.""The past two weeks made me realize something, Marcus. And it's the fact that your enemies are actually the ones closer to you. You have been my enemy for but u didn't know all these while.""Did you drink something? Why are you speaking nonsense? And since when did I become your enemy?"Derek stood up, facing the man directly. "That's a good question… When?""Can you two sit your asses down and explain to me what is going on here?" Catherine said to them, almost screaming at them.Derek looked at the woman. "I haven't said you should talk," he told her."And since when did you get to give me how and when I should talk?""Since I found out that my allegation against you has always been true."Catherine wasn't getting a hang of what was

As Marcus was reluctantly finding a way to get in between the couple, Catherine, who still had a frown etched on her face, whispered to Derek."What is he doing here? I thought it's supposed to be just you and me," she said with a stern tone."I know I said that. But Marcus is just here to join us briefly. I can promise that his stay here won't be for long then we can have the time to ourselves," Derek told his wife.Catherine wasn't buying that. And she was this close to telling him to send Marcus away when the man eventually came back with an empty chair which he placed in the middle of the couple.Marcus took a seat but was still confused about what was going on because this wasn't what he had in mind when he got the invitation from Derek to show up at Kingston Hotel."What's going on here, Derek? Why is there a cake on your table? Is it someone's birthday?" Marcus directed the question to Derek while trying to make a guess.He couldn't deny that he noticed the hard stare Catherine

"I'm home," Derek announced as soon as he got into his apartment. "Where are you, Kathy?" he called out as he went to take a seat just so be could relax himself."I'm upstairs," was the response he got from his wife to which he nodded."Alright, I'm coming."Two minutes later, after getting a cup of water, he was on the way to their room upstairs with his briefcase in his hand. He was sure that the woman would be busy when he gets there and it was no surprise that she was on her laptop when he got there.She was sitting close to where the mirror in the room was and he watched her from where he was standing, seeing that she was typing into her laptop. There was also a document on her laptop which she kept glancing at occasionally.He dropped the briefcase on the bed and then took off his jacket which he also placed on the bed. Then he walked over to her, standing right behind her.In that position, he bent and put his hands around her waist. "What are you doing?" he asked as he whisper

"How did it go?" Derek asked the lady who seemed to be more interested in the ice cream she was consuming than him."How did what go?" Gina asked in return as she scooped a mouthful from the cone. As the cream melted down her mouth, she felt a sensation that made her giggle without a care in the world."Now that was weird," Derek stated but then got back to his question. "How did the meeting with Eugene go? Was he able to convince you this time around?"Gina wanted to take another scoop from the ice cream when she heard that question which then put her to a halt."Hmph, of course not. I already told you that I wouldn't be accepting his offer, didn't I? It seems like you forgot to relay my message to him," she said and then got back to her ice cream.At that point, Derek was getting annoyed with how immersed she was in it. He just had to hold in his annoyance lest he snaps at her."I did relay your message but it was too late for him to turn back," he told her."So you mean you just to

"I think it would have been better if you had called me before coming over to the company. What if I was away? It means you would have wasted a full trip down here," Derek said in a scolding manner to the woman sitting opposite him.Edna didn't care about what he was saying and she revealed that completely through her expression. It was as if she just wanted him to talk and then get through with it."At least I met you in, didn't I? I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of it," the woman said.Derek didn't respond to that, perhaps worried that he was going to speak out of line if he did."So, why did you reject my offer? You had a long time to decide and at the end of it, you said no. There has to be a reason. And it had better be a good one."He sat there quietly for some time before he finally decided on saying something."It doesn't feel right, Edna."The woman's gaze at him was a mixture of stern and confusion. "What doesn't? Owning a business or my offer?" she asked

Derek felt a little tired as he walked back into the Cora Limited after having lunch at the eatery down by the road. It was supposed to be his go-to place whenever work got overwhelming but today was just different.He just wanted to try something different other than skipping meals or simply just having something little in the company's eatery which only made light snacks.He knew that having a meal at his go-to eatery would affect his work rate but he was willing to risk it.A honk from a car caught his attention right after he passed by the parking lot. He was sure that it was for him which was why he turned around to find out which car had honked at him.It didn't take him too long to find the car as well as the person who operated it. And right out of that very car, Eugene Leviathan stepped out, looking all smiley like there was something good he wanted to talk about."Mr. McKay. Good to see you again," Eugene Leviathan said to Derek like it was the first time he was seeing him i

"Who's that again?" Gina asked, trying to rack her brain for any information related to the name Derek just told her."The ex-wife of Richard Langston," Derek responded."Wait, isn't that the man that you thought was having an affair with your wife?""Yes.""Oh. So when did you get this close to his wife so much that she offered you her business to handle?"The way Gina said it made it seem like he was having an illicit affair with Edna and that didn't look good at all."Ex-wife, Gina. They are divorced now. And the way you say it, it sounds like I'm doing something wrong with her.""I never implied it that way. You're the one with the ideas here," she defended herself."Whatever," he said. "Edna and I kept in touch after we both realized that we were chasing the wrong thing. But it didn't change the fact that her husband was a chronic cheat.Anyways, their business was handed over to her by the court but she doesn't want to be around here anymore which is why she wants someone else t

The sudden sound of something slamming on to his desk knocked Derek out of his thoughts. It came as a shock, that for a few seconds, he couldn't get a hold of himself."What did you do that for?" he asked through gritted teeth. He was furious at the person that did that just to get his attention."I've been calling your name but you didn't hear me." He heard Gina's voice and that meant she was that person."Well, you should have called harder."He had to put both hands over his face just to take out the wobbly feeling that had overwhelmed him from the shock.He was still furious at that point. If it had been someone else other than Gina, he would have taken his frustration out on the person. He could only keep his rage to himself because of her."I'm sorry," Gina apologized. "I shouldn't have done what I did but I was getting scared when you didn't answer which was why I resorted to that."He looked up at her. "What happened to tapping me, Gina? Wouldn't that have been much better?""

"You do realize it's my weekend you're consuming," Derek pointed out to Jasmine who was dragging him."I know," she said. "But there's no one else I could call."She came to his place that afternoon and told him that she had an event to attend but didn't have anyone to go with which was why she decided to come to his place.He had declined the offer at first but she kept insisting and even resorted to pulling him out of the house. If Catherine had been home, the sight wouldn't have been pretty.At one point, when they were about to get to his car, he pulled his arm out of her reach."I can't follow you," he told the lady who turned around to face him."But why?" she asked with a pout."I've got to go to work tomorrow, Jasmine. I can't afford a day out at this time when I should be resting.""And I'll be out of the city by tomorrow too. Let me have this, please."Her emphasis on the 'please' was a bit infuriating due to the way she made mention of it. It was as if she wanted to do anyt
