"Mr Anakin!" The woman shouted again, a bit enthused seeing the CEO directly in front of her. She'd just resumed that morning and so, she hadn't met Nathan yet. The rest of the staff who knew Nathan's identity had been ordered not to say anything. They all pretended like he was a normal staff member as well, because Nathan didn't like the attention from here and there. He let his secretary, Tori, handle issues with the press and other important issues that needed the present of the CEO. Then when Tori wasn't representing him, he was representing himself in secret; replying to mails, signing important documents, giving orders that the entire firm all followed. Pedro turned again to observe the woman's expression and just in that flicker of time, Nathan took the opportunity to signal to her not to say anything. He'd hoped that she would have been orientated before resuming. Fortunately for Nathan, this woman was smart because she instantly acted casual. "Good morning," she said in a
Nathan was not dead. In fact, he was more than alive.He was well refreshed.The accident that happened nine days ago on his way back home, helped him regain part of his memories, just only bits though. But quite enough of it.The down side of this magical awakening however, was the trauma that came with it. There was the tragic incident first that followed immediately after the accident, when he thought he was dead. When he tried to sleep but only woke up to the accident happening all over again. Then, there was the event of his past. Fourteen years ago, and the memories were still sharp and fresh as ever.Really, there were a lot of traumatic shenanigans happening in his head at the moment. And then, the chattering amongst the board members came back filling the air and disrupting his already maniacal mind."Can everyone of you be quiet now for fuck sake!"✩★✩Doris knew it. She was so certain now. Staying at home doing nothing was torture, and so, she would no longer be part of th
Evelyn Castiel was a mad woman.Yes, even she knew that much. Or would you say, 'selfish'?Her marriage with her husband had failed long before they'd even become husband and wife, yet, she was still with him. And that was only due to one reason. The man was rich.Sure now their business was going down the path of failure, but she wouldn't have been the woman she was if it wasn't for her husband.And the other day she had dared to accuse her daughter of falling in love. Oh what she would have given if she'd been born into a perfectly well raised woman like her daughter. Never would she have married the man she called her husband now. She had never loved any man to heart before, but dear Lord, had she met many men with quite good intentions. If only she hadn't been interested in marriage just for the sake of riches and respect, she would have been with one of those good men out there.She wouldn't have been forced to coerce her daughter to marry that man they called Pedro. She might h
Ronnie Anne was a rogue.The slightly chubby lady with round face, big eyes that held an air of innocence—which in reality, didn't—glowing in smooth fair skin, was the exact opposite of Doris. She was too much of an extrovert, a lesbian and was extremely gregarious in nature.This led to Doris' actions of getting drunk and hooking up. Now, she just needed to remember what exactly it was that happened the night before.Waking up in a bed covered with navy blue thick blankets, her eyes gazed on the brown roof above her. She was still in doubt, wondering what hell of a night she'd shared with her friend..."Ronnie Anne?" Just as she remembered having spent the night with her long lost friend (even though it was only for two years), she also became clear of another thing.That was not her house.The fact that Ronnie Anne hadn't been there as well made it all disturbing for her too. The curtain blind next to the window had been left open, allowing neat flow of the early morning sunlight in
The meeting came to a halt almost immediately as it had begun, and Nathan was glad for the matter addressed already. He'd as well used that as an opportunity to announce to the members of one particular Doris Castiel's bidding, and made it clear to them that she would be made the winner.They could not object.An hour later, Nathan was back in his office, wandering deep in thoughts. That morning, the woman who'd appeared before him hadn't been his wife. Doris never really partied, well, unless that Ronnie Anne of a friend was around. Perhaps she'd been right and truly, all night she spent it with her criminal friend. Perhaps. But why hadn't she picked up all while he'd been calling? Why would she keep her phone on silent? When he saw her in shorts and a crop top, his eyes wouldn't stop glaring at her exposed toned stomach. He'd almost forgotten about the piercing just in her abdomen and it looked even more seductive. Maybe the anger that had channeled through his body had been not
The news reporter began(a young man with medium black hair and dark skin, and you could almost see the tinge of excitement on his charming face), "The CEO of TMN insurance firm has clearly announced that Mr Pedro Alonzo will be further banned from ever associating in any of the company's business." The corners of his mouth curved slightly upward, revealing crinkled dimples. "And it's permanent!" Pedro, Owen and Evelyn all stared in awe. "I must be dreaming," Evelyn muttered out.The news reported continued by adding further. "And it has also been said that the TMN insurance firm has made it strictly clear—meaning let's all abide by this as we listen—clear, that they would never be associated with any business member or contact or relatives or anyone at all, who still chooses to stay in business with the man named Pedro Alonzo. These people will immediately be added to a blacklist of the company and will never be granted any cooperation opportunities as well. This is the news report,
"It's just how things work out, right? I mean, what can we do?"Doris was saying to the blonde lady beside her in the restaurant, cups of hot coffee sitting before them.Tori frowned slightly, her fine face contorted into a befuddled glare. "So, you're just going to divorce him?" She asked, raising a brow. Doris thought for a while. "Well, I don't know. Maybe?" "Are you asking me that, really? Don't you love your husband any more?" "I do. I mean... I think I do. We, uh... We've decided to keep things on a low. Like a pause." There it was again. Another frown on Tori's face. "You would stop the jolly relationship with a pause?" "Jolly?" She scoffed at the sound of the word. "It's not jolly anymore, Tori--uh, I mean, Ms Tori, or Lawyers?... I'm sorry," "It's fine. Really, just call me Tori." She gave a warm smile. "Can I tell you a secret?" Doris said, chuckling. "Sure." Her eyes lit up in amusement. More like in anticipation. "I think I still love him." She was grinning wildly
Evelyn's lips parted for words to come out, but they just wouldn't. There was almost nothing to say. But she had to overcome that bastard of a child. "What nonsense are you saying?" She found herself saying at last, and the younger woman smiled in a sinister manner. "So it is true. I've always imagined what sort of dirty play it was when I first found out from my source. Apparently, it is confirmed to be true by this funny ugly face you're making right now." "I honestly have no idea what it is that you're saying." Evelyn said, yet she couldn't meet her eyes. "So you better be getting on your way now. Don't waste your time.""Oh I don't think I will be. But, it must be really--" The door creaked open, and Owen walked in. His eyes widened as he saw Ronnie Anne seated in their living room. He searched for air but his heart seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. "Mother, what is she doing here?" The smile on the younger woman's face grew even brighter. "Oh, hey Owen. Your mother and
