Alison Pov...I am not comfortable and easily get shock after that terrifying incident at Thompsun building. All I want now is to finish everything and run away. Another two months is like a ticking bomb cringing on my nerves. The grand opening of Thomas Cuisine in Thompsun building will be on Saturday, just hoping Dwight won't be there! I don't want to miss this day and mostly to ruin this beautiful day.I leaned on my chair closing my eyes to calm myself while waiting for Linda."Madam A, we are ready to go!" She called out.I followed her out of my office vigilantly. I don't want anyone from the Smith family to recognize me here. My business is not done yet.Our ride going to the Downtown City is quiet enough to help me calm. Linda notices how I am uncomfortable and disturbed."Madam Alison, are you sure you are alright?" She asked, skeptical."I am now Linda. Thank you!" She nodded and looked outside again, watching every place we passed by. I look at the opposite to have a glimps
Alison Pov... I dumped my body on the sofa curled like a child who lost her favorite toy. Alison, can you not forget him and start a brand new life? Isn't four years enough for you to bury that fucking feeling? I muttered to myself dejectedly. "Alison!" I was startled, falling on the sofa. "Oh fuck Cali!" I roared, picking myself and touching my nose. "Ouch!" I cried, touching my nose again. "Why do you look like someone dumped you?" She asked, frowning. "I think our small world is starting to collide now, Cali. I saw Dwight at the Thompsun building today. Luckily he didn't recognize me!" I elaborated, not missing a tiny bit of what happened. "What? Really! Isn't too early for you to see him. It's just a month, but something is starting to shake you up!" She uttered unbelievable at the same time horrified. "I don't know what happened here after I left, but something is bothering me. I'm not just scared to see him, but terrified enough to make me shiver." I cringed. She sighed.
Jack Pov...I still can't get over the other night. I saw Alison that I used to know but she is somewhat changed. She wasn't the Alison who was to be my sister - in - law. She has a fierce and bold identity. Unlike before, she was simple, quiet and obedient. Whatever my family told her, she wouldn't budge but complied. The thing that I saw her at the bar and at Downtown City is already a big change. Something might have happened to her in those four years she was gone, but why is she here? Is she planning to get back with my brother since he is still single or is she here for revenge? There are things that are puzzling me, but I know Alison will not do such a thing. Being called the murderer and boyfriend stealer wasn't true, that's for sure.I need to quickly work out my plan now to save them both. I know Georgina is hiding something else. I saw her the other night talking on the phone terrified. The fact she has a hidden phone is something to be bothered about. I need evidence to sh
Dwight Pov... I'm not just terrified about what happened to the bidding. I caressed my forehead to reduce the pain as my anger flared. What the fuck happened out there? I mumbled, cursing. I did all my best to meet their required standard but I still lost that bid. Who owns that Flavors of Asia anyway? What do they have to win? We are famous here in Los Angeles. We own almost all the functional kinds of businesses here, but why? I had never heard that name and yet they won the bid. Fuck! I cursed loudly, kicking the wall. I knocked on my table, furious about losing the best city to do business. "Felicia!" I roared, impatient. "Sir Dwight!" She responded scared. "Find who owns the Flavors of Asia and don't miss anything about that company." I ordered. I should have asked Devon regarding this matter but he has a lot on his sleeve already. I should have checked all the contenders. Damn! I growled, throwing my stuff. "Hey! What's the matter?" My brother exclaimed. He was shocked to
Alison Pov...I find myself keep on stopping in Downtown city for no reason. That place is really something to die for. Every time I walk there, I feel like I am always enlightened and refreshed. Whatever magic charm that place has, it doesn't matter to me as long as I am comfortable and happy. Jacks Coffee shop is one of my favorite now. I will stop by at his branch in California when I come home.Last night I brought Linda with me. I asked her to find if they still had a better place to lease or for sale. I feel at ease staying there and I'm sure Dwight will never step there now that we win the bid. I plan to bring my brother and Cali there tonight."What is beautiful today that you keep on smiling out of nowhere?' My brother asked, joining me."I just fell in love with Downtown City. We should visit tonight so you will see what I am talking about. Ali, I can't believe there is a place like that here in Los Angeles. I have lived here for two years but never been there. I exclaimed,
Devon Pov... Working with the Smith Group isn't easy these following years especially Dwight become rude and perfectionist. The board of directors is always asking what he actually wants to let them do. He even intimidated them to fire them if nothing met his standard. Luckily, the company is still working fine. Only his plan to get Downtown City failed. The job he offered them is already in the downtown. They want businesses that won't compete with each other. We just learned the city is a friendly zone, that's why! If we just learned that earlier, we could beat the Flavors of Asia had offered. I was in the Thompsun building checking all the new tenants. The Variety Cuisine will open tomorrow. That's why I want to make sure everything is followed before their launch tomorrow. I have already tasted their food and I definitely love it. I'm almost done inspecting when Dwight called. I immediately rushed to Downtown City after receiving Dwight's call, furious and intimidated. I arrived
Alison Pov... I just want to stay at home right now and curled up on my blanket, but I had work to do. I can't really run from any inevitable face off with him, especially now that he knows I am here and we are working on all the same buildings. We will eventually bump into each other most of the time. My brother watched me prepare myself lost and unwilling to do anything. He already prepared our early breakfast, even my coffee, but my mind still wants to go back to the bed. "Alison, stop whining and start preparing to go to work." He chastised. I slumped my body on the sofa, shaking my head. "I can't Alejandro. What if we bump into each each other again? I can really face him now, but I can't stand to be called a murderer." I cried, pitifully, shaking my head. "You can't run from him forever, Alison. Always expect the inevitable. That's the only thing I can be sure of, my dear sister. Remember I am just here waiting for your call." He explained, emphasizing every word. I went bac
Georgina Pov... I am not just pissed and annoyed seeing Alison again. I was terrified about seeing her. She will never have Dwight again. Dwight is mine now! When Jack arrived and treated as VIP, Dwight was pissed, dragging me out of the restaurant. "Dwight! Fuck! You are hurting me!" I cried, pulling my hands with his tight grip on my wrist. He threw my hands frustrated. I don't know if it was because of Jack being treated as a VIP or because of Alison. What if he likes Alison now? Alison is different now, she is bold, fierce and smart. "Dwight, don't tell me you will let her trample us like that? Do you really believe her?" I ranted, wanting him to punish Alison. "Just stop Georgina! Can't you not see we are the intruders! Why not check what is Variety Cuisine and Flavors of Asia, it will save us next time!" He growled, totally pissed off. Why is he dumping his frustrations on me? I am also pissed at her. "Why are you mad at me?" I cried. "Shut up Georgina. Today is not the ri
