Roland stood there, motionless, still gazing at the door where Seraphina had left. He couldn't believe what she had said. His mind was jolted by a ringing sound. He checked his phone and saw that it was Katherine. It had been a long time since they had talked.He answered the phone, and they talked for a while. Katherine told him that she was back in the city, and she wanted to meet with him. Roland agreed to meet her at the cafe, where they used to hang out.Roland dressed up for the cafe, wearing a light blue shirt, dark jeans, and a black leather jacket. He wanted to look presentable for Katherine. When he reached the cafe, he saw that it was a cozy little place with dim lighting and a warm atmosphere.Katherine was already seated at a table in the corner, and when she saw Roland, she got up to greet him. They hugged and sat down, and Katherine told Roland about Anthony."He called off the wedding, Roland," Katherine said, her voice trembling. "I don't know what to do. I thought
Katherine sat alone on her bed, her hands resting on her stomach as she stared off into space. She couldn't believe she was pregnant. How did this happen? Who was the father? Her mind drifted back to the night of the party. She had been drunk and had made a mistake. She couldn't remember who she had been with.All these happened after she left her parents house for the city."It's not fair," she muttered to herself. "I never wanted this."She closed her eyes and tried to remember the events of that night, but it was all a blur. She didn't even know how far along she was.A flashback filled her mind as she remembered the moment she found out she was pregnant. She had been feeling sick for a few days and had gone to the doctor to find out what was wrong. When the doctor told her she was pregnant, she had been in shock."I can't be pregnant," she had whispered to herself.But the test results didn't lie. She was carrying a baby, and she didn't know what to do.Katherine's phone rang, b
While Roland was working tirelessly as the CEO of the Lafayette Group, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his accomplishments. He had always strived to make his father proud, and now he felt like he was finally living up to that expectation.However, on the other side of town, Simon had just been fired from the company owned by Debbie's father. He came home furious, slamming the door behind him.Debbie noticed the change in Simon's attitude and asked him what was wrong. Simon finally opened up to her, telling her he had been fired.Debbie almost lost it. "What do you mean you got fired?" she yelled. "You couldn't even do a single thing right?"Simon was taken aback by Debbie's harsh words. "I tried my best," he said defensively.Debbie rolled her eyes. "Your best wasn't good enough," she retorted. "Now how are we going to pay off the house bills and all the other stuff?"Simon felt a pang of guilt. He knew he had let Debbie down, but he didn't know what else he could do."
Roland leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. Suddenly, he remembered he had a meeting with the board of directors in 10 minutes."Genie," he said, addressing the AI assistant. "Can you bring up the presentation for the board meeting?""Of course, Roland," Genie responded, bringing up the presentation on the screen.Roland went over the slides, trying to focus on the task at hand. But his mind kept drifting back to Maria and the kiss they had shared.He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice when the board members started filing into the room."Good morning, Roland," one of the members said, taking a seat at the conference table. "Shall we get started?"Roland cleared his throat and tried to shake off his distraction. "Yes, let's begin," he said, starting the presentation.As he spoke, Roland couldn't help but feel like he was living a double life. On the surface, he was the successful and respected CEO of a thriving company. But underneath it all, he was a man struggl
Katherine woke up early as usual and started getting ready for the day. She was excited to start a new day but her mood changed when her Aunt Marie called. The phone rang and Katherine picked it up."Hello, Aunt Marie," Katherine said."Hi, Katherine. How are you doing today?" Aunt Marie asked."I'm doing well, thank you. How are you?" Katherine replied."I'm doing well, thank you. I was wondering if we could meet up for breakfast at the restaurant down the street," Aunt Marie said."Sure, I'd love to. What time should I meet you there?" Katherine asked."How about 9:00 am?" Aunt Marie suggested."Sounds good, I'll see you there," Katherine replied before hanging up.Katherine arrived at the restaurant and spotted her Aunt Marie sitting at a table in the corner. She walked over and sat down."Good morning, Aunt Marie," Katherine said."Good morning, Katherine. How are you feeling?" Aunt Marie asked."I'm feeling okay, just a little tired," Katherine replied."I understand. So, what d
"What happened to my father?" Roland asked almost in a whisper."The chairman collapsed in his study today." Butler Lucas informed.Roland almost went nuts. "Where is he right now?" In asked hastily."At his private hospital..."Before Butler Lucas could complete his statement, Roland had already ignited the engine of his car and zoomed off to the private hospital where the. Chairman was admitted.Roland sat behind the wheel of his car, his foot pressed hard on the gas pedal as he weaved in and out of traffic. He was driving hastily, his heart pounding in his chest as he prayed inwardly for his father's safety. The thought of losing his father, the great Chairman Lafayette, was unbearable.As he pulled up to the private hospital, Roland's heart sank. The building looked cold and unwelcoming, and he could feel his anxiety rising. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, striding purposefully towards the entrance.The receptionist looked up as he approached, and he introduce
Anthony woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. He got out of bed and stretched, taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a crisp white dress shirt, a navy blue blazer, and a pair of khaki pants. He quickly got dressed and headed downstairs.As he walked into the sitting room, he saw his parents sitting on the couch, deep in conversation. They looked up as he entered, and his mother smiled warmly at him."Good morning, Anthony. How did you sleep?" Mrs. Maria asked."I slept well, thank you," Anthony replied, taking a seat beside his parents."We were just discussing your future," Mr. Williams said, his tone serious.Anthony raised an eyebrow, unsure of what his father meant."We think it's time for you to settle down and start a family," Mrs. Maria said, her tone gentle.Anthony nodded, knowing that his parents had always wanted him to get married and have children."We also wanted to ask you about Katherin
The woman, Debbie, drove her sleek black sports car down the busy street, weaving in and out of traffic with ease. The car was a shiny black color with tinted windows, and its powerful engine purred as she pressed down on the accelerator. She was a skilled driver, deftly maneuvering through the crowded streets with precision and confidence.As she pulled into the parking lot of Lafayette Group, she eased the car into a spot and turned off the engine. She got out of the car, her black leather boots clicking on the pavement as she straightened her black suit jacket. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, and she wore a pair of dark sunglasses that hid her eyes.Debbie walked into the office building with purpose, her heels clicking on the marble floor as she made her way to the reception desk. She flashed a smile at the receptionist and introduced herself."Hi, I'm Debbie. I'm here to apply for a job."The receptionist greeted her warmly, but then informed her that
