Seth sat in his office with his back resting on the comfortable black leather executive chair and his eyes glued on the big glass that framed. Skylines which are symbolic of the pride of human achievement felt claustrophobic today. The morning had been one long string of meetings and phone calls, and she had hardly been conscious of what had been going on. The meeting at the apartment alone with Phoebe occupied his mind constantly, as well as the fact of their separation.Deep in his mind, Seth recalled the last few moments of the family’s encounter with the bad people and his fists tightened. Just watching the ease with which the man accepted himself, felt at home in Phoebe’s apartment, had threatened to make him mad with jealousy and frustration. He had visited Phoebe there to enquire from her how she was feeling after all that they had been subjected to.unfortunately Christian showed up at her house which was making him think that she has really moved on with her life without him
The truth was that there was something more than friendship between her and Seth and she had felt this way for quite some time. But she also knew that he was in love with Phoebe and never will stop being in love with her.Sasha hesitated, and the minute Seth stepped off the porch, she let the tears for which she had been fighting fall. She was quite sure that she had done the right thing, still the pain did not seem to be far from the truth.Sasha clea her tears, breathed deeply and regained the composure that she had been accustomed to. She had always been busy, and there was still much to do, which was why she could not afford to be stupid now and simply give in. But the pain in her chest brought her back to the fact that some wars were waged internally and out of the sight of others.And for Sasha, this was one battle of hers she was fully aware that she could never hope to come out on the winning side.Lucy was awakened by morning sunlight and she found Phoebe sitting on the edge
It was as if every space in Phoebe’s apartment was filled with a sort of tension that was inherited from the day. Christian sat on the couch thinking in circles all the while looking at the cup of coffee Christy handed him. Rising from the breakfast table, Christian was still weighed down by the morning’s developments; the feeling was a twinge of hope and a dash of apprehension churning in his stomach. He tried to control himself, tried to remain calm and collected in front of Phoebe, as she needed a strong man in her life. However, that was a huge issue that had led to tension between the two since the man did not know where he stood in the lady’s life.His musings were interrupted by a loud knock on the door which snapped him right back to reality. He frowned not seeing anyone that he anticipated to meet. But the sensation in his stomach did not let him go and he felt apprehensive as he got near the door.He of course did not think that the woman standing behind the door when he op
And if you can’t demonstrate to her that you are all those things, that you are different and you are the one she should be with, she will move to the next man. Well, you’re on your own then, buddy or maybe I’m speaking to you, you never know. ”Suffocating with the pressure of her words was what Christian experienced Cameroonian could literally feel the weight from her words. He could not think of anyone who had an easier time with the girl of his dreams; he could not imagine that he would have to compete to have her.‘I’m not going to pressure her,’ he murmured, nearly choking on the words. “I am too fond of her to do that.”Grandma Patterson’s eyes drooped, but just a little and for a brief second only with disapproval. “That does not go well with caring, Christian. Not if Seth is still in the picture. You have to be assertive, have to prove to her who you are and that you are ready to go to the end of the world for her.”Christian squeezed two tight fists before him, the turbulent
Later that day, Seth arrived at his office and with his gaze fixed on the windows, he was looking at the city. He was in confusion wondering how all these events had unfolded in such a short time. The knock on the door brought him back to reality.“Come in,” Seth spoke, and he was not wrong about who would knock on the door.Aidan entered through the door and closed it without much dramatic display that made Seth feel uncomfortable.“Well, that went well, didn’t it?” Aidan asked, completely masking his true feelings with sarcasm.Seth looked at him squarely in the eyes and his face was set in stone. “What do you mean by that Aidan?”Aidan feigned innocence. “Playing at? I just wanted the company to be alright; you should thank me for bringing this to the board before it got out of hand.”Seth’s eyes narrowed. “You knew this was going to happen didn’t you? Before the board meeting? You planned this.”Aidan’s smirk widened. “Oh Seth, you give me too much credit But maybe that is somethi
He looked at her with a stern look. “I understand that But you see, we need him. That's the reason he is here at this time.” Sasha said, trying to convince Seth.Marlin had a wicked grin spreading over his face that indicated to Le Chucky that he had done what was expected of him. “Smart choice, Rivera.”Seth sighed, ”Well okay then” he said calmly but assertively. “Well I don’t like it either, Sasha. But we don’t really have a choice here. Aidan's more dangerous than I thought and well Marlin was right if we don’t get help we’re dead meat.”Marlin stood quietly watching the two of them while chuckling to himself with his arms crossed over his chest. “This is business, Sasha”Sasha shifted her gaze to him and looked at him angrily. “This is not just business, Marlin,” she replied, “You’ve attempted to take down Seth before and now we’re supposed to blindly follow you?”Seth interrupted the silence: “Guys” he said quietly. “Stop it! We have no time for this! Marlin, I will work with yo
Sasha nodded but did not reply immediately, “Okay… maybe I did say that,” she faltered. “Well, will he really help you out or is he simply waiting for the right time to turn your back on you?”Seth scowled, getting a serious look on his face at the question. “Damn, Marlin is selfish, all he wants is to gain something in return, so he will continue playing the game. We have to watch him closely.Sasha frowned and “I still can’t believe that we are even discussing this issue, not to mention with our character like Marlin.”Seth’s voice turned bitter. “Oh, I am not happy about it as I’m sure you can imagine neither but he is right on the money there Aidan is pure evil and if we don’t stop him now he will destroy everything.”Sasha paused for a few seconds and stared intently at the floor. “here i am craving you meant to have me under you instead being the one in the position you placed me in.”Then Seth looked into my eyes, his eyes looked so gentle and his tone was so calm. “Well yes, t
Having heard enough already Seth bolted from his seat, paced to the window, then back and forth in an effort to organize his thoughts. He looked into his reflection of the mirror and he was confused but at the same time focused. I love Phoebe; she is not a distraction but the single woman that has given me the strength to fight for my freedom.“Fighting?” Marlin scoffed. “You believe this is a fight that you can still handle? Seth, you lost her in the first place, you don’t even stand a chance now that she has someone like Christian.”Seth’s eyes flashed to the boy and he frowned, “Turn around.” “This isn’t about Christian.”“Oh, but it is, ‘sir,” Marlin said, trying hard to be diplomatic. “He is already part of that picture, Seth. Phoebe’s engaged to him and while you were struggling with this business you lost; he is giving her a comfortable, stable and secure life. So what are you offering Phoebe, Seth? More chaos?”Seth’s jaw tightened. “I know what I have done Marlin”, but I have
