Richard walked into his house and sank into the couch. He had been a shadow of his former self since after the incident. Losing Linda hurt Richard more than the fact that the world got to know the truth about his company. He stared up at the ceiling as he thought about the possibility of Linda accepting him back. Richard knew that it was not possible for Linda to accept him back. He knew that the only reason why the family let him in was because they thought he had something. Now that they were aware that he had nothing to offer to them, they all withdraw themselves from him. He was also aware of the fact that Linda's mother would never want to hear from him or hear anything that had to do with him. He could not forget how she sent him away immediately after she confirmed the news from him. Even though he tried to convince her that he would build his company, and once he was done, he would come back to his feet. She didn't even let him say anything. She just sent him out of her h
Henry turned around to check what the time was, immediately after parking at the parking lot. He was all smiles. He stared at the front mirror and deepened his smile as he liked what he saw. He alighted from the car and began walking towards his office. He was still excited about what happened the previous day. Spending time with Natasha at the penthouse was one of the beautiful things that happened to him that week. As he walked towards the entrance of his company, his smile suddenly disappeared and turned into a worried expression. He had sighted his mom standing at a corner of the company. He rushed to her and stopped in front of her. She was on a call when her son approached her, and she quickly pressed the red button and faced her son fully. "What are you doing here?" Henry whispered with a furrowed brow. He shook his head and bit his lower lip. "I mean, why are you here so early in the morning? I haven't even had my seat yet."She turned her wrist around to check what the
Fred let out a sigh of relief when the car pulled up in front of his mansion. He stayed in the car looking around for a while before he came down."Can I take your briefcase, sir?" The middle aged man who had driven him asked as he came over to his side."Sure thing." Fred quickly said and handed over his briefcase to the man while stretching out himself. He was glad he had finally gotten home a few minutes after his flight landed in the airport. The traffic from the airport to his house had been so insane that he almost got impatient. Now, he was feeling tired and worn out.After standing there for a while and studying the building, Fred decided to walk into the house.Apart from the terrible traffic he experienced, everything else had changed since he last visited the country. He had been out of the country for a while and had just returned to take care of his business by himself. He scoffed as soon as he stepped into the house because he knew that there was no rest for him. The des
Of course, he knew about the Floater family and how influencial they had been in the business world in the city. But he didn't know much about the said Henry Floater since he had been out of the country for a long time and had just returned to take over his family business fully."Are you sure this is not a transactional relationship? Like a business kind of thing, you know what I mean." Fred asked with his eyes narrowed.Aiden shrugged his shoulders."I am not sure about that." He said with a bit of hesitation evident in his voice. "I mean... It was, in the beginning." His voice got thicker with his last words."Not until recently though, I mean, after Natasha signed the top business deal that made her a big shot in the business world, she should have backed down a little bit, right?" There was a long pause after Aiden's words and both he and Fred sat there in silence trying to process the last information."And I also noticed they had been going out together a bit more often recentl
Natasha walked into her office, and immediately after she walked into the office, her phone vibrated in her hands. She unlocked her phone and stared at the message. It was from Henry. She smiled deeply immediately after she saw the message. She read through the message, and her smile deepened. She texted him back and placed the phone in her bag. As she walked towards her chair to sit, she stared at the corner of her office and saw a flower. Once she saw the flower, her heart sank deeply. She remembered immediately that she didn't know who sent the flower. She stared at the card on it. It was written congratulations. The smile on her face slowly disappeared. Natasha stared at the flower with her finger in her mouth. She could not place a finger on who it was that sent her flowers. She decided to trash the flowers since she didn't know who it was from. She called in her secretary immediately. "Here I am."She stared back at her secretary and then slowly tilted her head toward the di
The rest of the day was a busy day for Fred in the office as he was trying to figure out how to kick off from where the company was while he was away.He was also trying to see how the company had been working and how he could get rid of things that weren't working and fix new rules.He also noticed some instabilities which he tried to fix that day. He was so busy to the point that he almost forgot about Henry and Natasha. By the time he was done, he was exhausted and asked his secretary to bring him tea.After a while, he heard a knock on his door. He knew that his tea had arrived."Come in," he called without finding out who was there.The door was slightly pushed open and Lewis came into the office, much to his disappointment because he was expecting his secretary with his tea."Is something up?" Fred asked without looking up.Lewis stepped forward and Fred immediately looked up, realising that it must be something important."Some men dropped by and requested to meet with you." Le
Fred rested back on his seat in his office, tapping his table with his finger tips while his eyes rested on Aiden who was sitting on the chair opposite him.His chair creaked one more time as he rested back and he realised that he had not even begun making an effort to change it. He had been too busy either trying to get his company together, or trying to make efforts to get Natasha back to his side."Let me hear what you have." He told Aiden who leaned forward on the table."I asked one of my men to place a tab on them both yesterday." Aiden spoke out.Fred nodded his head. "Did you get anything? Were they spotted together?" He asked hurriedly but Aiden shook his head."There is no evidence linking them both together yet." Aiden said truthfully and fished out an envelope which Fred had not realised that he had been holding."Do you have anything on them both?" He asked and immediately reached out for the envelope which he tore open in a hurry.He began going through everything there,
Linda had exactly no idea why she was restless in her room all through the night, she found out that she had been thinking about Henry a little too much in the last few days and even though she had tried to tell herself to move on and forget him, after all they already got what they wanted. They were now partners with the Floater group, but she couldn't just bring herself to stop thinking of him.She could not just bring herself to stop thinking of the fun memories they had together, she could not stop thinking of the love they shared when they still couldn't do without each other. She equally couldn't forget how Henry had been obsessed with her in the past, she could not help but wonder if he still felt the same way too.It was the middle of the night, and while the house was dead quiet because every other person was asleep except her, Linda could not just stop pacing around her room. She would occasionally go to the window to look through it.Her window overlooked the large garden b
