“ Don't dare, Kate.” Aidan warned.“ Get out of my office." He commanded the last time before pushing her out of his office and locking it inside.Kate dragged her legs to the elevator as tears trickled down her cheeks. What has she done to herself? If she had known.She pressed the elevator button and the door opened and she stepped in. Kate shut her eyes and took a deep breath before breathing out. After a few minutes, she arrived at the down floor. She sniffed and used the back of her hand and cleaned her tears so that no one would notice it.She walked past Lily, the receptionist, without telling her goodbye. However, Lily called, but she never responded.Before the security at the exit could open the door, she forcefully pushed it and walked out. She was furious that she wished no one would dare talk to her that day. Immediately she got to where she parked her car, she brought out the car key from her purse and inserted it in the door lock.As she was about to open the door, a h
“ Huh?” Felix mouthed.“ you are kidding, right?” he chuckled as he asked.“ I'm not.” she smirked.“ he owns the company that has been sending me contracts,” she explained.Mrs. Emily was already shivering in shock, knowing that Kate won't play with such news. She won't lie to them about such a thing.The living room went completely silent as if no one were inside of it. The only sound one could hear was their breath. “ How is this possible, Kate?” Mrs. Emily inquired to cure her curiosity.She couldn't imagine someone who lived like a slave in her house, suddenly become a billionaire overnight after chasing him out of the house. “ Why am I finding this funny?” said Felix with a chuckle.“ I'm wondering how possible this is. Sis, are you sure you didn't mistake Aidan's lookalike for him?” he questioned, as he wasn't ready to accept what she told them.“ Stop blackmailing me as a liar,” she replied with a grin.“ Do I look
As usual, Kate was already awake as she got ready to meet the CEO of the Charles family business company to plead for help.Unfortunately, she couldn't get enough sleep the previous night. She was unable to tell if it was because of how badly Aidan treated her or because she was going to the Charles family business company the next day.Kate only slept for three hours and during the remaining hours, she was wide awake pondering about her life. She regretted divorcing Aidan. If only she knew.The only thing that can get her off this miserable life is if she gets to partner with the company she was eager to go to today.This would be her story of from grace to grass if she didn't get to partner with any of the top companies in the city.It would be more embarrassing when those that knew her as a CEO see her living a low life. Will she be able to face the shame? Not at all.“Again? Why do you like leaving so early? What sort of company will require their staff to go to the office this ea
At that point, the traffic lights changed to a green light, which signifies movement. All the cars in that lane began moving, except for Kate's car and the man's car.Before Kate could attempt to get out of the car, the young man had opened her car door and jerked her shirt, and pulled her out.“Come out here,” the man yelled. Immediately, she was fully out of the car, the young man attempted to punch her in the face without waiting to hear any word from her.Unfortunately, the road safety who were just a few gaps away from them had seen what happened.As the man's fist was about to land on Kate's face, his hand stuck in the air.“Don't do that, young man. She is a woman, and besides, you are not meant to take the law into your hands, rather than reporting it to the appropriate agencies.” said the man in uniform.The young man furiously pushed Kate away, causing her to almost fall to the ground.“You must pay for this.” the man swore through gritted teeth.“Young miss,” the man in un
On getting to her office, Sharon couldn't tell if she should be happy or sad. At least, Kate now knows that she isn't a poor lady as she mocked her at the party.Indeed, Kate must bow to her anytime they meet again. Maybe, Kate would be shame to talk to Sharon if they accidentally meet because of the two events that happened between them. What happened at the party and what happened on the expressway.Sharon wanted to keep this to herself, but she couldn't. She went ahead and rang Aidan to tell him what she saw on the road while going to the office.Maybe, this might make Aidan happy, maybe not. However, she was going to tell him. How he will react to it isn't Sharon's problem.Sharon sat on the executive office chair and crossed her legs with a happy face. She rang Aidan and he picked up almost immediately.“Hey, Sharon.” his deep voice echoed from the phone.“Hi, Mr. Aidan,” Sharon muttered as she quickly asked.“ Were you expecting my call before?” “Hmm… What do you mean?” he asked,
“Please take her to the president's office.” said the receptionist to the security man she called earlier.“Is this an order from the president?” the security man asked to be sure because if anything happens, he would be held responsible.“Yes, she said so.” The receptionist confirmed and the security man nodded.“You can follow him, ma'am.” The receptionist said to Kate with a wide smile.“Thank you,” Kate appreciated and followed the security man. As usual, she was praying that the CEO who happens to be a lady will listen to her cry and agree to partner with her. Even if she wasn't going to partner with them, at least she won't be humiliated like the way Aidan treated her when she went to his company.But all she wanted was a partnership. If that doesn't work out, then she would have to think of plan B. Kate was ready to be an employee in the company if at all she didn't get to partner with them. The company was large and attractive. Although, she might be mocked if her business
Kate got out of the company and dragged her legs to her car as tears continued dripping down endlessly. Numerous people who came across her tried to get a glimpse of what happened to her, but she was unable to speak out.On reaching her car, she buried her face on the car and began weeping bitterly. Her body was weak and her brain was blank as she couldn't think of the right thing to do at the moment.“Ma'am, what's happening to you?” “Go away and leave me alone!” That's how Kate chases away anyone who comes to show concern.Everyone should mind his business and not disturb her. The more they ask, the more she gets angrier and cries more tears.After crying for almost an hour, she managed the last strength she had and opened her car door.Kate entered the car and buried her face on the steering wheel and sniffed before shutting her eyes and opening it.“This is not the end of your life, Kate,” she assured herself and opened her eyes. She blinked repeatedly as she stared at the road.
It was evening. Aidan and his lovely family could be seen sitting in the enormous living room, having fun and watching movies together. The family was always at peace even after his father's death. Aidan was currently the head of the family in the absence of his father.Aidan always makes sure his mother and younger sister are provided with whatever they want. They were the only family he got. He can't afford to let anything happen to them.He intended to marry a woman who will respect and cherish his family. That's why he isn't like any other young billionaire in the city.Clubbing and flirting were part of a young rich man's lifestyle, but he was trying to be different. A responsible man to bring development to society. Society can only move forward when every citizen plays his responsibility and does what's right.The country can't move forward when the citizens do not play their vital roles to contribute to its development.Aidan was a young man, yet with an elderly mind. He thin
