Edwin's POVWe both stepped out and frustratedly, aunt cursed In the air.“Those god-damned family of yours, scumbags..” She hissed irritatingly.I sighed too, exasperatedly as I turned back to the door. Was this how it has always been? Not to acknowledge one as a family yet.. “How are you..? Are you okay?” Aunt Sarah called from behind.“I am, aunt.” I answered curtly, turning towards her direction and smiling which she did too.“I know, I know..” She said, “You did well,”“Right!?” I uttered, releasing a frustrated sigh. “You're not really going to do what that asshole said right? You're not going to be paired with the Silverstein just for their joy right..? You.. you're not going to force them to take you in right..?” I heard my aunt query rather impatient that it made me frown for a bit.I held on her shoulder, making her face me as she squeezed gently on them to make her at ease.“You saw it too..” I stated simply. “They failed aunt, they are even more worthless now that I thin
Miranda's POVI felt weak, drowned in my own sweat as I ran towards the hospital reception. The nurse there just kept looking at me and not understanding what I was saying at all because I was a mess. There was only one name on my lips, a single name that had me almost disabled from fear.“C.. Christabel..? Christabel!?” I kept saying, repeating the name and bawling my eyes out.“Who is it, Ms..?” The nurse asked but I can't explain, just how can I..? A very healthy person just typed enthusiastically to me, very much happy about modeling for an endorsement, now where's that healthy person? In the hospital..?“C.. Christabel..” I repeated, breathing harder in minutes that I could collapse any moment soon. My limbs feel weak, and my head..? Both mentally, physically and emotionally, I am drained.I swiped to unlock my phone seeing as repeating just a name wouldn't help. I went to my gallery where I swiped through different folders and pictures and finally, I got one that I was looking f
Edwin's POVBack in the day….Stepping on the throttle, we were already out of the mansion in no time and I was having a hard time digesting all that I heard. Silverstein made a move while my family stupidly accepted. They don't know what they're in for or maybe they know and are just blindly going for what they want rather than what they need.“So..” Aunt Sarah started, swallowing hard as she spoke. “There's another woman..?” she asked.“Hmm!” I nodded.There's nothing to hide anymore as they all are making a move already. Miranda, she could be in danger at any time and the only person to help me out with her safety now is my aunt. She's the last person I would want to keep Miranda away from.“Do they know about it yet..?” She asked again, finding it hard to believe. “Maxwell knows as well as Alex. Aside from them both, no one else from the family..” I explained, pressing further.“The Silverstein.. they must know about her to have come prepared with a marriage proposal. Holy!!” I
MIRANDA'S POVMaxwell never listens, I said to myself as I watched him do what he hated the most.Watch Edwin being pronounced the first as always. He sat down on the couch totally ignoring my presence as he watched the news silently while I sat at the other end of the chair.“And here is the most Influential and top one ranking businessman, Edwin Dawn, the CEO of The Dante company, which is popularly known worldwide as the world's best and most influential company,” The newscaster announced, and I felt my mood in the room suddenly change.Maxwell was surely boiling and looked so much like he wanted to punch something, hopefully not me.“Fuck!.” He finally exclaimed as he turned off the television, then angrily threw the remote, which later landed on Me, who was sitting not too far from him.He did well this time, unlike the last time, when he had ruined the office and destroyed the television in a fit of rage.I sighed and stared at his pathetic self, the look I knew he hated so dam
MIRANDA'S POVMaxwell finally agreed to my demands, but he insisted we were still going to be good buddies. I understood what he meant.We've been on and on for hours, making love as though our lives depend on it.“Uhh…!.” I moaned as I collapsed on the bed, trying to catch my breath.Maxwell came down from me, and he heaved a deep sigh of satisfaction. Well, I am the only lady who gives him just the way he wants it.“That was pretty rough!.” I said, still trying to catch my breath.“Huh? You want more of my baby monster!.” He teased and I laughed.“Fuck you!” I said as I got off the bed, while he chuckled.I walked straight to the bathroom and took my bath.People would consider me to be a slut, but I'm not concerned about such shitty gossip about me, since they can't say it to my face.My dignity left me the day my uncle raped me. After that day, it was not worth keeping.I got out of the bathroom after wrapping myself up in a towel.“Are you leaving already!.” Maxwell asked, walkin
EDWIN'S POVI was at the office with my executives when a young lady unexpectedly opened the door, demanding to see me while acting crazy and sassy.The security guards refused her from seeing me, but she kept on struggling with them. We all stared at her, wondering why she was here in the first place.I was shocked to see the crazy lady who was creating a scene in front of everyone. She was a pretty and sexy lady, but at the same time, ill-mannered and uncultured.I angrily ordered the guards to take her out, but she was quick to make her way toward me, and slowly she whispered something into my ears that left me utterly shocked. I quickly stood up, and I immediately followed her. Everyone was shocked as they stared at me in total shock. I guess they never saw this coming.I know it was a very embarrassing moment, but I cared less about that, and more about what she had whispered to me.“Wait!.” I said to her when we were out of sight of the executives and staff. I took her to my
MIRANDA'S POVNext day…I was so happy that my plan worked out, just as planned. I've already informed Maxwell about how it went, and that I'll be resuming work today.I was done applying my light make – up on.It was just 7:30 am. I wanted to be early on my first day to work.“Nice!.” I said to myself as I admired myself in the mirror.I picked up my purse and my car keys and walked out.I got into my car and zoomed off.A few minutes later, I got to the company pretty fast than expected, I guess I was excited.I took the elevator to the top floor and slowly walked over to the CEO'S office, as confident as I could ever be.“Sorry, ma'am, the CEO has not arrived,” A lady said to me as she approached me. From the way she looked, she seemed to be his secretary.“And you are?” I asked her, knowing fully well that she wasn't pleased to see me here.“I am his secretary,” She replied boldly. Wow! She had guts, it made her interesting.“Well, I'll just wait for him in his office,” I said, a
EDWIN'S POVIt's been a week since Miranda started working for me, and she was doing her job perfectly, except for the fact that she was extremely rude.“I'm done with these sirs,” She said as she dropped the file on the desk and then walked back to her seat.My office door immediately flung open and Serene walked in, along with Grace, who was trailing behind her.“I am sorry, sir, she wouldn't listen to me,” Grace said.“Out!” I said, without sparing her a glance.“Hey, prince charming,” Serene said as she approached me.“What do you want?” I asked strictly.“Can't I visit you?” Serene asked, but I said nothing, then she sat down. “Who's she?” Serene asked, referring to Miranda, who was busy going through some files.“She's my new personal assistant,” I said, trying my best to keep my cool.”Wow, so you've got yourself a female personal assistant, so great,” Serene said sarcastically, glaring at Miranda.“You know that shouldn't be your problem,” I simply replied.“Why don't you emp
