Stella stood behind her desk, her eyes lingering on Nelson, the new intern in the tech department. He was tall, with dark hair that fell neatly over his forehead, and his eyes held a certain spark whenever they met hers. It was a spark that made her heart flutter, a glint that made her blush.As Stella addressed all the interns, welcoming them to the company and wishing them success in their internship program, she couldn't help but notice Nelson's attentive gaze. It seemed as though he was hanging on to her every word, his eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine.Once her speech was over, Stella dismissed the interns, watching as they filed out of the room, chatting excitedly amongst themselves. But Nelson lingered for a moment, his gaze still fixed on her."Is there anything else, Nelson?" Stella asked, trying to keep her voice steady despite the fluttering in her chest.Nelson's lips curled into a shy smile. "No, nothing. Thank you, Stella," he repl
Zen was glad when he heard the words of Laura concerning his brother. He was pleased and hoped he continued to do pleasing things in the sight of Stella.He sat in his chair as he loosened his tie and took in a deep breath. He rolled around with his lips parted together.He was exhausted already and to think it was barely noon already. He had worked his ass out already but he still had a lot of things to attend to.He yawned as he tried to relax for a few seconds before heading for the third meeting he had. His plan was to complete all expansion process within the next three months and get things started.His secretary darted him with an aura of confidence surrounding her. She stood before his mahogany table, her hands clasped together…Her lips parted and she began to speak, "Hello sir. There's a woman here to see you.. she says she wishes to invest in the company."Zen raised his head to her. "If she wishes, then why doesn't she go just the normal procedures?" He asked. His mouth wa
"How could you even think of something like that? We should get rid of Sir Stefan?" Her eyes expanded as she asked that question.Zen shrugged his shoulders with complete indifference. "And what does it matter? If he wants to get rid of my Stella, then I shall as well get rid of him.""You would try no such thing, Zen!" She said in a loud and firm voice that would have been heard by Zen's secretary where she was."You really think I wouldn't? Let's watch and see!" Zen said to her with high confidence. Ariel was pissed beyond she could take anymore. She slammed her hands against the table and walked briskly out of the office.The moment she was gone, Zen rose to his feet and began to pace around the office. At this point, he knew he had to come up with a plan and as fast as possible.He was sure Ariel was going to go relate all he said to her boss Stefan and he wouldn't take likely to his threat. "What should I do now?" He muttered under his breath.An idea struck within him within the
Zen couldn't have felt more proud of Stella like he did at that moment when she brought out the gun from her cloak. He thought straight as well and immediately bit his arms, causing him to shriek in pain.He pushed him off and rushed for one of the guns that Stella had been forced to drop to the floor. Together, they pointed at Stefan who was smitten to the marrow.His eyes flickered incessantly with his heart thumping against his chest. His fear was written all over him and no matter how hard he tried concealing it, he just couldn't."What did you call yourself again? Stefan or what? What do you think about ending your life this very minute just the way you wanted to end mine and Zen's life," Stella said with a sinister grin on her lips.She cocked her gun again and pulled closer to him. "I have told Ariel this over and over again and I'm going to repeat it before you. I love Stella and nothing is going to change that. You should accept it already.""You heard him right?" She yelled,
Stella was kind enough to drop Zen at his office before driving off. She said no words and though, he tried to strike a conversation with her as they pressed on, it just wasn't working. She didn't budge and neither did she give as little as q glance in his direction.As she pulled up in front of the premise that belonged to Zen's compound, she pressed the button by the side of the door and then it came open. Zen glared hard cat jer with a sigh escaping from his lips."Aren't you going to say anything to me? I'm extremely sorry, Stella!' he said, sounding genuine.She shot him a demeaning look end he took his hand off at once. He was in for almost a minute and only came out when he realized she wasn't going to yield to him.Zeb exhaled again and went into the building, a sullen look all over him. He had a firm hope at the back of his mind that she would come around soon enough. If he was in her shoes, he would have been upset as well.His secretary whose head was buried in her head sm
Stella got to her office and was extremely pissed. She flung herself into the sofa that was at the rear of the office and then pulled her wig off her head. Her head banged and she needed some rest.She shut her eyes tight and exhaled. You could see her exhaustion ogling at her and was threatening to suck every bit of life in her. She reminisced on the words of Stefan and a weird feeling of anger aroused in her. Her lips pursed together with her eyes flickering incessantly. That was all she could do anyway. "So Zen's first mission was to kill me? What if he didn't fall in love with me along the line? He would have ended my life?"The reality of it hit her hard in the chest and took her off guard. She tried to swallow but it proved hard. A sudden feeling of hotness aroused in her and she didn't realize when she jumped to her feet.Her eyes scanned the room and then landed on the air conditioner that was on and working at its full capacity. "Why is it so hot in here?" She ran her han
Stefan slammed his hand against the table as he stood in front of all his workers. He was fuming with rage and had a spark in his eyes. Even hell's fury wouldn't have been able to match with his."Tell me why that food hor nothing girl Stella is still alive?" He yelled at the top of his voice with his eyes almost popping out if their socket. The entire room was as quiet as a graveyard and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of his voice.He calmed a bit with Gus eyes darting all over the place like he was searching for something. It fell on Ariel who was in a corner and had been praying that he doesn't notice her. He walked up to her with the same look ye had on him."You are next in command after me over here and yet, you keep flaunting the rules. What instructions did I give you and why haven't you carried it out yet?" He snapped. Ariel shuddered, and made to speak but words failed her. She began to stutter like she was silence babe trying to learn how to speak."Are yo
Tom returned to his desk after leaving Stefan's office. He held his head high with a grin adorning his lips. He hadn't been as happy as he was in a very long time.The idea of becoming the right-hand man to Stefan appealed so much to him. He would be in power and would gain the respect of everyone. The thought alone sent a surge of adrenaline through his veins, fueling his ambition like never before..Ariel would stand before him and call him, "Sir Tom," and then his supervisor would also address him that way. He could only imagine. Sitting back in his chair, Tom felt a mix of excitement and apprehension swirling within him. His hot was contagious as his colleagues couldn't stop staring at him. They must be wondering what was making him smile so hard.This promotion, this opportunity to rise in the ranks, it was everything he had worked for. Yet, as he gazed out of the window, his mind couldn't shake off the weight of the task that lay ahead.His phone beeped, interrupting his thou
