Sean helped fetch a glass of cold water, handing it over to Moriah. “How're you feeling now?”

She took a sip. “Better.” She kept on staring at him with this glint in her eyes.

“What?”

Nothing. It's just ironic that you're the one standing by me right now.” She shook her head sadly.

“It's be fine. Don't worry, Clement will come around and you can sweep this under the bus.” He pats her hand.

“You're right.” She blew out a harsh breath, tucking her hair behind her ear. “I didn't get to finish telling you the story.

“It's fine, you don't need to-”

She waved off his words. “It's fine, besides it'll be good to get it off my chest. Anyways, my parents were dead set with him getting a divorce no matter how much I begged, pleaded or downright cried.” The smile melted off her face. “Clement's family were no better. They knew the kind of monster they had for a brother and yet they didn't care. Their reputation trumped any other thing, so they forced us to remain married despite how much we hate

    “Come in.” Caesar rumbled, his glasses perched on his nose like a strict headmaster.Moriah walked in, standing close to the door. “You called me.” She stood ramrod straight, staring into space until Caesar was ready to talk. Dressed in matching designer tops and pants, finishing up the look with a floor-length nude coat, Moriah's hair was slicked back into a low bun at the nap of her neck, a light makeup was on her face.She looked good, more dressed up than usual but then again, it wasn't every day that the head of the family asked to see you.Finally, Caesar peered over his glasses taking in her appearance in one swift look. “Cone in, and shut the door behind you.”Moriah did as instructed, crossing her legs over each other with her hands folded on her lap.She didn't dare utter a word even though curiosity was burning a hole in her tongue.When she got the message this morning from her secretary, she had to check again making sure she wasn't wrong.Caesar removed his glasses from

    Where are they?” Sean asked, walking past Rebecca. She stood up the moment she saw him, placing her hands on the desk. “They're inside, waiting for you.” She replied. Sean nodded, striding briskly last her desk. When he got the call that morning, that Moriah wanted to see him and Clement, several thoughts went through his mind. Ever since the last time they spoke, they had been running an uneasy truce. Sean kept out of Clement's way and vice versa. Now that there's a meeting in which they have to attend, Sean could only guess what was up his mother's sleeve. Taking a deep breath, Sean pushed the doors open. Moriah and Clement turned to face him, watching him as he walked on. “Finally, you're here.” Clement remarked dryly. “Can we get on with the meeting now?” Moriah ignored her son, wrapping her arms around Sean. “Hi, Mom.” He hugged her tightly before pulling away. Clement let out a sigh, making it so obvious so that we could hear him. Moriah composed herself, the form

    A week later Sean had a week to think through his decisions, and options and bring out new strategies in the bid for the CEO position. However, he hit a snag. The second test they had to pass according to the contract Moriah had them sign with a clause stating whoever won the company fairly and square would take over and the other part would relinquish without much struggle. The marriage issue. Seeing as Amelia was out of his life for good- after the court case leaked, no one wanted to have anything to do with them anymore and they were too ashamed to show their faces around in social circles- that left Sean with no other person. Sure he could go outside and dare but he was quickly cured of the hope that a woman would fall in love with him for who he was and not the position and money he had. He was running out of options which was why he joined a dating app, under a false name of course. His past two dates had gone wrong, but he believed that the third time would be a charm.

    Sean could feel his last hope slipping through his fingers.Not willing to just let her go, he rose from his seat and chased after her. “Shelly wait!”Her body turned rigid when she felt his hand on her body and immediately, he retracted it.“Sean, what do you want?” She sighed. “It's clear that we want different things so don't force it.”“But I was having a great time weren't you?” At this point, Sean was grasping at straws.“Of course, I was, I had fun. In the last couple of months, you're like one of the first guys that I've enjoyed spending time with.” She confessed.“So how is that stopping us?” Sean threw up his hands. “I mean…Okay, fine, I might have come up a little bit strong but maybe this can work out?” The hesitation at the end of his sentence made it sound like a question.She looked into his eyes. “You're lying.”“What are you talking about?” Sean was confused.“This does not want you to want obviously and somehow you trying to make me realize that it's what you want is

    Just like he suspected, Chloe needed his help.She was a struggling secretary who had several responsibilities from home, in need of comfort, money, love, and a shoulder to lean on.All things he had to offer to her.Through Rebecca's sneaky ways- to date, Sean had no idea how she managed to pull Chloe's information- he was able to get her number and then he messaged her.That graduated into calls and after a couple of days talking to her, he managed to wear her down until she accepted his invite to his home.Sean offered to pick her up but she declined.Stirring the pot, he checked the YouTube video he was watching on what step he needed to carry out but the phone's screen was foggy with steam from the pot.Sighing, Sean stopped stirring looking around in frustration.This was what he got for trying to surprise a woman with his cooking.The kitchen was a mess, he was no way near done cooking, and…he had only twenty-five minutes before she would knock on his door.His spaghetti Bologn

    Sean raised his hands in a sign of surrender. “Chloe, calm down…”“Oh, now you want me to calm down?” she glared at him. “You know what? Maybe Amelia was right, you're a horrible person and you're a pervert.”She grabbed her bags angrily, setting them up to leave.Sean ran in front of her, blocking her way. His heart was beating so fast that it was a surprise she didn't hear it. Listen, I can explain everything. I just need you to calm down and hear me out.“I don't want to hear you out. I want to leave.” She glanced pointedly at the door he was standing in front of.Sean was losing hope at this point. “Chloe, please.”“I will scream if you don't move out of my way right this second.” She said firmly, having every intention of shouting at the top of her lungs.Sean realized this, so he moved out of her way.Chloe gave him a wide berth as she walked towards the door.It was a shallow and maybe shitty thing to do but Sean was running out of time and Chloe might be his saving grace. “I

    After my disaster of a date with Chloe, Sean couldn't take the self-loathing anymore.Grabbing his jacket, he picked up a few things with his car keys and drove out.Wandering for almost thirty minutes, Sean arrived at his destination.The bar was a bit seedy but it was what he needed.A place to let off steam, and maybe get drunk.Grabbing the baseball cap he always kept on his car after his face became plastered all over social media, Sean turned off the engine and walked inside but not before tipping the kids around some cash so they could watch over his car.The door to the pub was old and rusty but the minute Sean walked in, he was transported back in time.Old vinyl records were playing, high-backed chairs and booths with a small space in the middle of the room which was for dancing.Sean ignored the looks of interest by several ladies and walked straight to the bar.A middle-aged lady who was trying so hard to look younger than her age walked up to the bar.

    Chloe stormed into the cafe by five minutes past 8, just in time.Any later Big Jim would have her hide.“Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in.” Her colleague and friend, Maryanne popped her gum, looking at her from head to toe.“Hello to you too, Maryanne.” Chloe greeted, walking behind the counter so she could put her apron on. “Where Big Jim?”“Who knows and who cares?” Maryanne replied flippantly. “I'm more interested in you and what happened yesterday. You completely ghosted me and left me hanging!” “Sorry, I was just busy.” Chloe went over the routine checks, making mental notes as she went with Maryanne hovering behind her. “Stop following me!”“Not until you tell me what happened?” Her eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms over her chest. “You're being evasive which is unlike you, which means something juicy went down!”Chloe rolled her eyes heavenward, wondering why she bothered telling Maryanne things in the first place.“I know what you're thinking, so don't you

    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

He didn’t know how to act or what to say.“Don’t ask me” Chloe muttered under her breath, feeling her chest bustling with emotions, she was finally going to be away from the shackles of captors and ropes!“You have bad taste in men.” He concluded and she raised an amused brow as he continued. “Listen to me, just agree that you wanted to stay away, that way nobody gets hurt. 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
