Ashton walked back home as he made his way to see Angel. When he had been told about Elizabeth Cooper, the thought that Elizabeth could be Angel's age was unsettling. Thomas had told him that Elizabeth was critically ill and the thought that it could be Angel was unsettling to him.
He walked back home, strolling in his oversized suit. It was exactly oversized, Ashton just liked putting on stuff that were larger than his normal large frame and that was his flex. He ran his fingers through his unruly curly hair as he walked. He could tell that the roads were becoming lonelier. One of the shittiest facts about this area where he lived was that it was a rough neighbourhood. There were constant fights and robbery and dare he say killings that one would think this was some slum black neighbourhood. But in contrast, this was a purely white neighbourhood, just that they did lots of drugs and shit. He walked along the way, casually holding his briefcase in his hand.
From within she heard Myles' voice when he spoke."Let them in. " He said so casually that Rebecca was beginning to think that he knew beforehand that she would come. The stranger guy then smiled at Rebecca as he allowed the door to open further."You may enter." He said Rebecca eyed him as she stepped into the place. When she got in she saw that there were a lot of people in there. She looked around as she noticed that the place was some sort of gaming lounge. She could see various types of games being played at the place and she observed that there weren't less than ten people in the place apart from herself and Myles.Myles watched her as he beamed with smiles. He wasn't sure she was going to show up but he had his hopes high and here she was. He knew that he knew what it was she wanted. He watched her observe the many people in the room and he got up to welcome her."Welcome." He said to her, He couldn't help but grin widely fr
Rebecca was still not over what Thomas Gomez had done to her. How could he betray her? How could he abandon her when they had started together? It wasn't like he was some sort of anchor to her business or something but he was one of the founding partners of her company.She simply couldn't understand the motive behind his actions as she knew that Thomas Gomez was a good man and he wasn't easily swayed which was what confused her the most. Somehow, she felt that the universe was trying to punish her for what she did to Ashton but she brushed that thought aside. There was nothing like karma, she was a master of karma. She was a go-getter and she always made sure to go for what she wanted, she also knew when said thing she went for got expired and knew when to do away with such things. Karma be damned.She walked to her office, ignoring her secretary who stood anxiously waiting for her. She walked past her, her face contorted in a deep scowl that sent out the
Rebecca stood in the house with her mother and brother. They both watched her, not understanding why she was screaming."What is the problem Rebecca?" Diana asked her daughter. Rebecca remained silent. She wasn't aware of her environment. She wasn't aware of the people in the room with her. All that she thought about was the events of the day she just had. She hated that Ashton had to be the one to ruin what she saw was going to be the big break for her.Theron held his sister in his hand as he tried to get her to come to herself."Becca?" He asked. "What is the matter sister?" He asked her but Rebecca remained quiet. She was still in a trance."Becca?" Diana called out loud and she snapped to reality with a gasp."What is the matter?" Diana asked her.Rebecca couldn't comprehend anything they were all saying. Her mind went back to a flashback of the day it all started. She remembered it like it was happening al
"You made poor Elizabeth to miss you so much." Mrs Cooper said to Myles and Rebecca's interest was piqued. Who was Elizabeth?Just then the guard returned with a tray of drinks, empty glasses and a bottle of wine. He poured into the wine glasses and served them.Myles chuckled from beside Rebecca."I will speak with Elizabeth," he spoke. "She upstairs?" He asked."No, haven't you heard?" Mrs Cooper asked and Myles looked at her with curiosity. That was when Mrs Cooper noticed Rebecca. "Oh, you brought your fiancee." She said and smiled warmly at Rebecca but her joy was cut short by Mr Coopers' interjection."Business partner." He corrected her. "She's his business partner. " He said coldly. Rebecca saw that Mr Cooper regarded her with cold eyes.What had gone wrong? Had she said anything rude or arrogant?"Oh," Hillary said taken aback. She wasn't used to seeing her husband this cold, especial
Rebecca got home feeling exhausted. She was pretty much tired of the entire activities of the day. She had a long day at work, what with going with Myles to see that friend of the Coopers. The same one whom they met at the club, what was his name again? She honestly couldn't remember his name. She got into the living room and slumped into the nearest couch. The room seemed dark and so she didn't realise that she had company until they spoke."How was work today?" A voice spoke very calmly and Rebecca practically jumped to her feet and almost ran away from the room thanks to the fact that the room was dark and she couldn't see exactly where she would be running to.Diana turned on the light beside her to reveal to Rebecca that she was sitting across her on a couch cross legged."Shit Mom!" Rebecca exclaimed in anger as she tried to steady her breathing and fastly beating heart beat. "What are you doing here?" She asked.Diana regarded her
Thomas' car stopped in the front of the Coopers' mansion and Ashton looked in awe at the building. It was huge. He could say it was magnificent. Ashton continued to stare in awe at the magnificent mansion while Thomas got down from the car and walked around to his side of the car. He tapped lightly on Ashton's door and Ashton had to force himself to stop drooling at the beauty of the place. He eyed Thomas who snickered at him. The asshole.He soon got out of the car and didn't forget to bang at the door, you know, just because he could. They both turned and were met by two officially dressed bald headed men in black tuxes. They both wore sun shades. Ashton wondered within himself whether there was something going on today with the way everyone was putting on sun shades. With that thought in mind, he watched Thomas shake hands with the bald headed men and he did the same."This is my frie
Rebecca and Myles got off of the car as they rounded the corner. They were in the Coopers' villa. Rebecca watched in awe at the magnitude of the buildings. It looked like this was a new city all together. Like it was a city on its own. Rebecca was still watching the beauty of the mansions and buildings in the Coopersville when Myles came to stand beside her. "Do you like what you see?" He asked her and she glanced at him. She looked back at the magnificent buildings. "Remind me of how you are connected to the Coopers again?" She said and he chuckled. He knew she still found it hard to believe that he had connections and personal relationships with the Coopers. She should wait until Hillary Cooper dotes on him in her presence. Myles let out a huff as he put his hands into his pockets. The officially dressed special intelligence security men stood minding their businesses like they weren't hearing the conversation Rebecca was having with Myles. They were that trained. Rebecca couldn'
"Dude," Thomas called as he got into Ashton's office. "She likes you." He said and Ashton rolled his eyes at Thomas' ridiculous insinuation. "Shut up." Ashton muttered as he focused on his personal computer. "I'm telling you," Thomas said. "Did you see the way she watched you though?" He asked and Ashton rolled his eyes again. "Don't you have work to do? Aren't you supposed to be meeting up with deadlines?" Ashton asked with an irritated expression on his face."I forgive you." Thomas said with a smile on his face. "You seem to have forgotten so soon that I am the CEO here and I call the shots." He boasted and Ashton smiled. Thomas was indeed a cocky bastard. "Sometimes I wonder why we're partners, I should have refused your offer back then." Ashton muttered to himself but not so quietly, he wanted Thomas to hear him. "You really need to listen to me though," Thomas went on and Ashton shook his head tiredly at him. "She's into you." He told him and Ashton eyed Thomas. "You seem
