Thomas POVThe look on Oliver's face when he walked into the restaurant and sat with me told me he was upset."What was Natalia doing here?" He asked.Oh he saw her."I just met up with her briefly to have lunch before you arrived." I explained."You had lunch with her?" He asked and I nodded."Thomas," He called coldly."Yes.""I have asked you before. I hope you still don't have feelings for that horrible woman?" He asked grumpily."I don't." I replied."Are you sure?" He questioned since my answer didn't convince him."I am sure." I replied."Then why meet up with her?" He asked."She had a miscarriage." I told him."So is that supposed to be your business?" He asked with a raised brow."I know it's not supposed to be my business but she wanted to apologize….""And have you forgiven her?" He asked."No I haven't." I responded.He sighed."I don't know what's going through your head and I have tried to be the best I can but if you end up with that woman and she ends up dragging you
Thomas povGrace paused hesitating to say what was on her mind.It made me wonder how bad it was."Mr Thomas I want to ask you something first before I proceed and I want you to be honest with me." Grace said and I knew this was serious."Yes Grace what is it?" I inquired."Are you trying to get back with Miss Natalie?" Grace asked, I exhaled sharply.I don't know why I avoid that question when I am asked about Natalie."I don't know." I replied."It might take a little time but we can get along now and I don't know what the future will hold ." I added."So you are saying there is a possibility you will get back together with her?" Grace asked."I...I don't know Grace." I sighed. "I guess you have considered it and that's a yes to me." Grace muttered and sighed."You told me to think about myself right?" Grace asked and I raised an eyebrow at that wondering what that had to do with my relationship with Natalia."Yes." I answered cautiously."At first I thought this would be a betray
Thomas povGetting up for work on Monday I just had one goal in mind, buy more shares for Mr. Gabriel's company.I got to the office, sat down and checked my phone and as expected Mr Gabriel tried to reach me but my phone was on silent and Natalia tried to call me as me.I smiled happily as I dropped the phone on my desk.Took my laptop and got to work.Shortly after I came to work ,I received a call from my secretary informing me that Natalia wanted to see me.She has nothing else to do so her father must have sent her to inquire what happened and what made me buy the shares from their company so suddenly without informing him first."Tell her to come in." I told my secretary and the call ended and Natalia opened the door of my office and walked in smiling happily at me.I was disgusted by her behavior ,she even dressed to impress me.I don't know how I actually fell in love with Natalia but that was the worst mistake of my life."Good morning Thomas." She greeted me in a sing -song
Natalia povI ran out of Thomas's office and dash out of the company building.Gasping for air as I was out the door, my head began to spin around asking questions that I didn't have an answer to.How could this happen again, who would do something like this to me who have I offended that is out to get me this much?Thomas was starting to talk to me normally and I know we are getting somewhere so why and who would do this to me?I was at the brick of tears as I exhaled sharply, I turned and I just walked with no destination in mind because I had no strength to go home to my family who was awaiting my return for good news.My Dad was very pleased that Thomas and I are going together now. I think Thomas has been answering Dad's call and they spoke together but now that this happened Dad won't forgive me if he finds out.I narrowly escaped the last time. Now I am doomed if I don't find a solution fast."Watch where you are going lady ,raise your head while walking!" A man half yelled at
Thomas povThe day I have waited for finally came.The shareholders meeting in Mr Gabriel company was announced.Prior to the meeting being announced ,Natalia had come to see me more times than I could count and she was denied entrance into the company.She waited in front of the company building when I walked out to get into my car but when she rushed over to talk to me my guards pushed her away as.I could hear her calling my name but I ignored her existence as I got into my car and the driver drove off as my guards got into another car and drove behind us to Mr Gabriel's company.I know that Natalia wanted to beg me not to say a word to her Father.I wasn't planning on listening , I just want to get on their bad side today.Coming to a stop in front of Mr Gabriel's company I took a deep breath before stepping out of my car. I looked at the building and smirked.I came here as a different person.I got into the building and headed to the conference room where the meeting would be h
Thomas POVI hated the situation where someone knew my name but I didn't know who the person was."Wow, I can't believe that I will see you here. I thought they said this place was a fancy restaurant but I met a low life bum here ,I guess their standards aren't that high if you of all people can dine here." The man made a snarky remark, bad with the way he was talking it sounded as if I knew him."You know I asked you who you are." I said gripping tightly onto the menu in my hand.It was for sure that he knows me but I can't recognize him."What nonsense are you saying, have you forgotten me or what, are you pretending?" He asked."Baby I want to sit, my heels are killing me." The woman with him complained and without asking me if they could sit at my table, he pulled out a chair for the lady and she sat and he pulled out a chair for himself and sat down as well.He still hasn't told me who he is.I took a deep breath to calm myself. I don't know what's up with people always intrudin
Thomas POVStephen couldn't bring himself to kneel down in front of me because he and his girlfriend were there.I wasn't actually joking earlier, maybe if he did kneel I would have paid for his meal.I proceeded to leave the restaurant."Thomas, where are you going?" He asked as he wanted to follow after me but the waiter stopped him and called security.He had already caused a disturbance earlier so you should have fun calling his friends to come pay for his meal.I glanced back at him and briefly smirked and winked at him as I turned and walked towards the door and I heard him yelling my name as the security held him.Next time he would check the menu before ordering something at a restaurant.He can deal with his own mess.I got into my car headed back to the office to finish up the work I had before heading home.Violence isn't always the solution to everything you have to just play along at times because their ignorance can cause problems for them..I am not petty, he caused his
Thomas povI called for Natalia to come to my office two days later.I had told Oliver to host a get-together for our high School classmates but he told me that he didn't have time to talk to them because they annoyed him.I only laughed it off because I didn't know what else to say because I was also his high school classmate.I just wonder what people did to Oliver to make him turn out this cold or is it just the way he is.Since only a few people I know can host the get together I decided it was best Natalia hosted it herself since she has done so many times in the past.Natalia just likes to bring our classmates together and show them that she is higher than them and show off her accomplishments.Many would praise her and others envy her.Natalia readily agreed to come to my office. I think she was already having a hard time with her dad.Natalia came into my office and she seems like she has been crying on the way here but I had no sympathy to show to such a shameless woman.Her
A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr
Grace's POVI was off work today so I decided to pay Thomas a visit.Thomas has asked me to come and work for him in his company and I refused because I don't think I will concentrate on work if I see him everyday, but I guess I will change my mind in the future.Mr Gabriel's company that Thomas now owns, I refer to it as his second company , Thomas's second company has few workers now because Thomas was firing most of them and rehiring.He was doing such a fine job handling two companies with small branches.I came here very early and I brought breakfast for Thomas because I know he is a workaholic and might forget to eat breakfast at times.I was free to love around now since I haven't heard from Timothy, my crazy ex boyfriend but I was careful and mindful of my surroundings.I walked into the company building. I greeted the security guards and I saw one person that made me smirk.I don't know when I started turning evil. I think Thomas has influenced me.I saw Natalia mopping the
Thomas POVI wanted to go out on a date with Grace and as we were making plans an unknown number called me.It was Natalia again,she has been calling me and crying to give her a job.Grace told me to give Natalia the job and after that we can continue going on planning our date.She said she wanted it as a gift.I could only give her what she wanted.The only reason why I came along with her was so I could see my old room in Mr Gabriel's mansion.I just wanted to tell my past self that I made it, it felt nice.Natalia finished cleaning the mansion and she did a good job.I paid her and she wasn't staring at me anymore but had her head bowed in defeat. I don't understand why she was dressed so tattered and her hair was messy but I didn't bother asking.I told her to come to the company tomorrow.The company that I bought from Mr Gabriel, workers were lacking. At least she can keep the place clean before I get it back to a better position, if she does a bad job I will fire her.After e
Natalia's POVI was just standing and staring at Thomas and Grace as If I had seen a ghost.What's going on here?Why were they giggling as Grace wrapped her hand more tightly around Thomas's waist.There were two bodyguards behind them and I was just rooted to the spot not understanding what I was seeing.Grace suddenly turned to me with a smile."Natalia, shouldn't you start working you know you don't have all day, I think you know where the mop is, if you do a good job here he might offer you a better job." Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be
Natalia's POVThere was no sign on Dad's face to show he was joking.Was he actually going to disown me now I had nowhere to go?"Daddy no! Please no ! I didn't mean to bring Thomas here, I was just trying to gain your recognition. You have to believe me, mom please say something to Dad, don't let him kick me out!" I pleaded as I got on my knees, Mom said nothing as she just watched me.Logan, who was behind me, let go of my luggage to drag me out. He held me by my hand and dragged me to the floor when I refused to stand up.Logan was pulling me with all his might, mom was pulling my luggage out of the mansion and Dad was accusing me of ruining his life.I was pleading, crying and admitting that I was wrong but they didn't listen.I was dragged outside the gates ,my luggage was tossed on the ground."You should just leave Natalia,you have caused enough harm already and you are already an adult." Mom said as the door gate locked."Mom please beg Dad to let me stay!" I pleaded."No matt
Natalia's POVI was laying down on my bed, thinking about what to do next.Everyone in the house was acting so strange, and since Grace left I have been the one doing the house chores because the other maid left as well.Dad said he didn't have enough money to pay her or hire a new maid for now so I was stuck with doing house chores.Who would have imagined that I would be doing house chores now, how low I have fallen but who was I to complain since Mom that didn't work started cooking as well, I didn't know that my mother knew how to cook because I can't remember the last time she cooked anything for us to eat.Mom and Dad, I think they have reconciled.The drivers have stopped coming to work, so when Dad and Logan want to go to work Logan drives the car.It has gotten to such a bad point.I sighed in exhaustion, I didn't know that just doing house chores can be this exhausting.I really miss having someone to do these things for me.But it was only a matter of time and everything wo
Thomas POVI was curiously waiting to see who just walked in."I am home." The female voice announced as she walked into the living room and I turned to look at her.He was carrying a backpack so I would only assume that this was Grace's last sibling."Good afternoon mom, " she greeted her mom with a smile."Good afternoon… who are you?" She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma
Thomas's POVMike took steps closer to me ,to stop Mr Gabriel if he wanted to attack me."How could you do something so evil?" He asked."I did nothing wrong besides many of them wanted to buy your company and not help you,you know that right?" I asked him and he seemed to calm down."Besides, I was repaying you back for what you did." I said."What did I do?" He asked innocently."I knew you were the one bad-mouthing me to my business partners." I said and his eyes widened."Well it doesn't matter anymore since I have paid back your family half of the rage I feel." I said."Half? what more are you going to do to my family,we have nothing now?" He asked me with disbelief written all over his face."Haven't you taken your revenge already, I knew someone was asking people not to help me, it was you all along." Mr Gabriel said as he fell backwards and his body slammed on the couch."You are smarter than I think." I smirked at him.He sighed and looked away."Just leave, I can't fight wit
Thomas's POVMr Gabriel sighed."Did you ever think you would be kneeling down before someone you called a waste of space?" I asked him sarcastically and his shoulders dropped in defeat."You should stand up and sit down,my lawyer is coming in to finalize the deal of buying your company and mansion. If you need your lawyer present, call him." I told him."Mr Gabriel, did you hear me?" I asked as he was silent."Why are you doing this to me?" He asked with a small voice."You can blame your daughter for bringing me into your family by sabotaging my scholarship to a good university." I told him and he looked at me with teary eyes.Was I supposed to pity him?"Call your lawyer I don't have all day." I told him as he looked down to his laps as he slowly stood up and slumped on the couch."I don't have a personal lawyer anymore." He mumbled as he rested his head on the couch."Well that's fine all you need to do is sign the documents after reading it, my lawyer will read it out to you or y
