The new office Moriah ushered Sean into was way bigger than anything he ever expected.

It had floor to ceiling windows with a view that overlooked the city.

It was beautiful and very high. Sean was guessing they were on the top floor having used an elevator to get this far.

It made him feel bigger in some weird way, the office, it's view…just standing here alone chsnged him.

“So, do you like it?” Moriah asked, walking across the room.

Sean soun around slowly, taking in the view once more trying to detach himself from the setting as if a stranger walked in.

The wall were painted a muted grey, expensive artwork hanging on them. Then to the left was a bookcase filled with books he would term ‘power books'. The ones that elevated your state of thinking, introducing you to the wealthy mindset.

There was a huge ask desk smack dab in the middle of the office, as well as a small cabinet.

Everything was immaculate and well arranged, waiting for his arrival.

Sean made a mental note to have them

    Two Months later….“Sir, Sir, wait up!” Rebecca ran after Sean her hand stretched out holding a file. Sean stopped talking and his detail stopped with him too.“What is it, Rebecca, I have to get on the air in less than thirty minutes.” He warned sternly.Fortunately, two months together has taught Rebecca not to take Sean's words to heart, he was quite terrible working under pressure.“I know and um, you're going to need this.” She panted, handing over the file.Sean took it without a word, flipping through its contents. He realized that it was his opening speech and brief of what he had planned to say during the interview.Well damn, that just changed everything.“I had no idea I forgot it.” His face stretched into a smile. “What would I do without you?”“Nothing really, but remember that thought the next time you're angry at me and threaten to fire me.” Rebecca teased, walking backward while simultaneously shooing him away. “You're going to be late…sir.”Sean only nodded, spinning

    “Honey, how'd it go with your business deal today?” Mina, Amelia's mother asked David, her father.His lips peel back in a tooth grin, bits of food staining his teeth. “Great! Guess what, we even managed to close the deal.”“Really?” Mina squealed, reaching out to touch David. “Honey, that's good news!” She turned to face Amelia. “Is that true?”Amelia like the ever dutiful daughter nods in accordance. “Yes Daddy, we're proud of you.”Mina kept showering praises on her husband, intoxicated with the sound of dollar bills raining down on her.Amelia just picked up her food, not hungry. Evenings at home were becoming quite boring and repetitive, making Amelia crave something of her own.Dinner was David's favorite, pot roast and turkey.Two horrible things that Amelia hated but she managed to shovel some down her throat so she didn't look ungrateful.“So Amelia honey, what's going on with you? You've been quiet over there.” David popped out the question.Amelia chewed her food slowly, bu

    Mina called out to Jason, wanting him to see who was on the screen…the man whom they wrote off a couple of months ago.Amelia's brother, Jason came down the stairs with airpods plugged into his ears. “What is it?”Mina just pointed to the TV, waiting for Jason to catch up.His eyes widened in surprise when he took in Sean sitting there cooly, interviewed before thousands of people. “Yo, isn't that Sean? The slimy dude who didn't marry Amelia?”“Why don't you try and tone it down huh?” David griped, reaching for a glass of juice behind him.Mina patted the seat next to her and Jason sat down. The rest of them were quiet for the next five minutes, listening to Sean speak.It was ironic in a way, months back they would never have listened that attentively.Sean was talking about a new business Lambert Incorporated was working on, and by his estimation, it was worth billions of dollars.A lot of money for a man who hasn't come in contact with it before.Mina watched Sean, an idea sproutin

    Jason and Mina perked up, listening to Amelia with rapt attention.“What do you have in mind?” He asked.Amelia shrugged, thinking of anything. “What if we show either the media or him some sort of document to prove that he took the money?”“That'd make a lot of sense. What exactly?”Amelia bit her lip, suddenly sweating even despite the cool temperature. The mechanics of executing a plan like this took more strength and cunningness than she thought possible. “Or maybe she should forget about it?” She tentatively inputted. Amelia wasn't sure she could live down another humiliation like the last time.While the money was tempting enough, her pride and social status were more important.“Having second thoughts?” Jason smirked. “Or you're too chicken to go through with it?”She cut her eyes to him, throwing a glare his way. “Unlike you, some of us have something worth losing.”“Like what?” He asked. “I'm pretty sure nobody cares about you that after what happened, besides they'll be too

It was way past closing hours, and Rebecca left shortly after he arrived.Now that there was no one to impress, Sean pulled off his tie and jacket, unbuttoning his shirt so he could breathe, contemplating if he needed to leave.While he had a big and beautiful house, being there all alone reminded him how empty it was.No one other than his housekeeper has ever visited and it made him sad on some level.Twirling his glass, Sean watched the amber-colored liquid swirl in its confined space, de

    “About what?” Sean arched his brow, folding his hands against his chest. “How crazy, manipulative, and what entitled assholes the bunch of you are?”Jason bristled, taking a step further his hands balled into fists by his side. “Say another word, and you'll be eating through a straw for the next two weeks!”Sean was tempted to take him up on his offer, but the flash of movement behind Mina and Jason reminded him of how much that would cost him.He wasn't just Sean Lambert, but an assistant CEO of Lambert Inc. A dent in his image would directly affect the company's.To his surprise, Mina was the one who reacted first placing a hand on her son's arm.“That's enough, we're not here to fight.” She murmured, drawing his back.Jason obeyed instantly, stepping down.Sean was uncomfortable with how it was all playing out. Everything seemed too good, almost like it was scripted.They might have planned things out before coming here.“What are you here for then?” He questioned, ready for this s

    Reporters and various camera lights started to flash, each person speaking over the other trying to be heard.It was chaos.It got so bad that some even tried to step on each other, pushing others out of the way to shove Mike in our faces.Jason and Mina were already facing the crowd, milking the attention by answering their questions with what he had no doubt were well-rehearsed and carefully selected answers.Sean's nostrils flared in anger, unable to stomach the insults.How dare they?When they saw that Sean wasn't responsible, more people turned towards Mina and Jason badgering them with questions.Sean glimpsed a blinking red light on someone's camera, reminding him that they were live, this entire thing was transmitted to TV stations.Urghhhh, fuck!The whole thing was stressing his brain out, so much so that it was on the verge of being shut down.That was when he decided he had had enough.“Alright, that's it!” He bellowed, clapping his hands together to gain everyone's atten

    Sean could hardly believe his eyes, his mind running at a million miles per hour trying to figure out how to mitigate the damage.The annoying parts were that the blogs were portraying his bad sides, circulating the clip where he looked guilty and not showing the one where he tried to speak up for himself.Reading the comments was even worse. People blamed him, siding with Amelia's family. Many times, he was tempted to post something debunking the claims but he knew that would only add fuel to the flames, and give their lies more traction.Sean shot a message off to Rebecca, powering his devices down after telling her to push back his appointments.All he wanted was a fucking break.Already, a headache the size of an anthill was forming at the base of his skull.Fixing himself a quick breakfast made of scrambled eggs and toast, he popped aspirin in his mouth washed it down with water, and promptly went to lay down.But even with his eyes closed, Sean couldn't get his mind to shut off

    The beep from the EKG monitor was the only sound present in the room. Sean had sat just as he was seated throughout the night, holding Chloe’s hands as she received the treatment, the doctors had done a mini surgery and removed the bullet. He also cleaned up the injury and she was still unconscious, Chloe’s eyes had only fluttered open once in the night and the only thing she had said was “Sean” and she went back to sleep.“Are you sure I shouldn’t switch with you? You’ve been keeping watch throughout the night.” Maeve asked him her concern was clear in her eyes. Sean scoffed and shook his head.“No. This is my fault, all of it is my fault and now she is probably fighting for her life.” Maeve sighed. “She's not fighting for her life. The doctor said she’s safe, all that’s left is for her to receive proper treatment. Allow the nurse to stitch up your wounds and let me spend time with my sister.”Her final words did the trick, Sean nodded and stood up, pushing back the chair. “If she

Not you, not me.” Chloe pretended to be lost in thought. A few seconds before her head snapped up and she looked at him.“No, I won’t be doing that, I'd rather die than let you go scot free and I mean that in every possible way.” She snapped at him and immediately he pulled out a knife again and wrapped his left hand around her neck, he placed the knife on her neck and led them downstairs, Chloe groaned in his hands, acting up to hide this year that she felt when he pressed the knife a

Only Drake and Chloe were not there which made pissed Sean off especially when he had his eyes on her less done twenty minutes ago.His first instinct had been to drag her out of his arms but holding on to Camille had made that impossible. Camille now sat at the corner of the van looking out the window wondering how she had managed to end up in this exact place again. Maeve was all cuddled up on Ivan in a cozy position, and he made a mental note to ask Ivan what was going on between them later.“Amber,” he muttered an

    Waiting for Clement didn’t take long, he came forty minutes later, the sound of his car was the first thing they heard and it was Drake who brought their attention to it. Amber, Maeve and Ivan immediately left, then Sean followed with Camille and stood behind the large banister at the living room exit, hiding his view.Sean's heart was racing at a mile per minute and he prayed that nothing went wrong so they were able to get Chloe. Camille wanted to say something but he pressed his hand over her lips firmly. “If this goes wrong because of you, trust me I will invent ten thousand ways to slowly kill you, so shut up!” He hissed.“If you don’t have something reasonable to say then I swear I will shoot you right here right now” Clement growled as he walked over to where Drake stood with Chloe, he bent toward her and held her chin. “Hello Chloe, I trust they’ve been treating you poorly.” “You don't need to worry about me, it seems you have bigger problems,” she said to him, and he chuckle

    The gun remained on Drake's head and the knife remained on Chloe’s neck as the three of them walked into the building again. If Ivan knew better he would have taken the risk and fought her out of Drake's hands, but who was going to believe a man hardened by life’s many struggles would hesitate to cut his prisoner's neck wide open. The knife to her neck was causing Drake to feel sick in the stomach but his fate would be much worse if he let her go without Clement’s consent. “We’re in here!” Maeve called shakily from what looked like it used to be the living room of the mansion, when the three of them came into full view and Ivan saw that Sean had Camille he dropped his weapon. “What in the hell happened here?” He gasped, subconsciously shielding Maeve from any stray bullets that may be fired.“Sean, Maeve!” Chloe cried out loud, all her emotions concentrated into that one word.

    They settled in a corner of the pub, Ivan and Sean on one side and Camille sat pretty opposite, she had the air of someone who felt in charge and her cockiness was enraging Sean.Ivan noticed and patted him on his arms, urging him to remain calm. Ivan leaned forward and pushed one of the beer bottles Fatima had brought, towards her. It was her third bottle.“So, you are here to see your former captor, get a closer look?” Camille asked as she took a large gulp of the lukewarm drink, Sean had taken a bottle and decided he had enough but she was still going at three. It definitely pointed to some kind of celebratory mood.“No actually, we need your help on something,” Ivan told her and Sean watched as his friend delved into an Oscar award-winning act, his face twisting into a concerned one.“Recently, one of our friends went missing, we didn’t know if it was a voluntary ghosting or an actual case so we are being more on the low profile side. She was last seen in this area, I was hoping s
