View MoreRachel’s attempt to get the old man’s full attention was successful judging by the fullness of his weak eyes on her.With a sly movement from her end, Rachel wiped the imaginary tears from her eyes and started; “Grandfather, I know I shouldn’t be telling you this since Rhett hasn’t briefed you about it yet but I can’t take this anymore” “You’re still not talking Rachel, you don’t have to continue crying when I’m here listening to you” “Apologies grandfather. It’s just that my stepsister is back in town and she’s been threatening my position since she got back” She explained.“What? How? I thought she was reported dead 2 years ago after she disappeared without traces” “We all thought she was dead until she showed up alive. That girl didn’t even visit the family that took care of her for once, she’s hell-bent on seducing Rhett and taking revenge on me” Rachel’s brows drew together in anxiety and her hands grabbed onto the old man’s hand desperately.The old man gently removed his ha
Ashley banged her hands on both sides of Rhett’s broad shoulders and pushed him away with all of her force which of course was a little effort of hers that Rhett decided to honor. Not like she’s strong enough to fight him off. Her breathing intensifies and she can barely move her body from the spot. Ashley’s eyes brimmed with tears and redness as she suckled her lower lips in anger which impeded her breath for a few seconds.Rhett felt a sting on his lower lip and he licked the bloody cut with a sickly smile on his face, watching Ashley battle with her wave of emotions. “Now get in the car Ash” he ordered with preeminence.As much as she wanted to fight back and challenge him right on the spot, she could not find the strength to do so, and anything that would come out right now would be nothing but tears. And she has promised never to show her vulnerable side to anyone ever again.Ashley glanced over the set of broad shoulders before her and scanned the busy road ahead with a calcula
“Have a nice day Mommy” Kristian waved to his mom with a polite smile as he joined the rest of the kids walking inside the school building.“Yes sweetheart, have a nice time with your friends and study hard,” Ashley said but in a matter of seconds, the smile on her face faltered when a bigger-looking boy bumped into her son on purpose with a mischievous grin on his face.“Uh uh… what is that?” she queried with raised brows as she started to approach the gate.But before she could speak out to call the attention of the teacher, her son had bumped into the bully to fight back.Collective gasps were heard as the boy fell face flat on the rocky ground and as he raised his bruised head, other kids started laughing at him while his minions sympathized with him.“How did this happen? oh no” The female teacher exclaimed, rushing to his side to help him up.“If you’re someone of that size then you should be careful with your movement. Sorry man” Kristian said with shrugged shoulders; he then t
A rare color of a BMW car swerved into the biggest villa in the city and as it came to a perfect halt, the smooth body shone brightly under the scorching sun. In repudiation of the bright aura of the car and its owner, the workers standing were forced to shield their faces for safety. They need no one to tell them about who has come to visit them. The only man with a specially designed BMW of that color in the city is the billionaire businessman Rhett McCall.As its doors raised in style, Rachel’s feature came into view and this immediately earned demeaning looks from everyone around.It wasn't until Rhett came out of the car that they offered their polite greetings.Anxiously, Rachel grabbed her purse tightly as her eyes wavered with guilt and fear. The fact that Rhett hadn’t said a word to her since they left the company was enough to drive her crazy. She wondered if Rhett’s purpose for bringing her over to visit the grandfather was to expose her and break off the engagement.Unexp
In the large working space of the Dee_McCall’s building are employees pacing around in panic as they move from one table to another to pick up phone calls and end some. Rhett is seen making his entrance with his iPad in hand and face focused entirely in distress; his assistant was no exception.They both walked briskly into the office and immediately two other people followed after.“Good morning Mr.Rhett… have you heard…” the first man tried to report but he was too shocked to find his words.As this was provoking Rhett’s patience, he yelled at him “Do you think I’m here to have fun??”“I’m sorry boss, it’s just that the public now knows about this somehow and we’ve been getting calls from our investors about pulling out and getting a refund” he rushed out in a panic.“What?” Rhett exclaimed, dropping his iPad on the table and followed by his hands. Confusion pooled on his face.“How?” he faced Optimist.“I have no idea who’s behind this boss” Optimist replied with a head nod.“It c
Ashley arrived back at the hotel with her son and they walked hand in hand to the elevator.Ashley has soft but fierce features unlike Kristian with a sharp one like his father and the duo standing together in the elevator exudes a strong aura that’s enough to keep enemies off their radar. Kristian was the mini version of Rhett before he went cold; the kind and sweet Rhett who wanted nothing more than to love his wife and protect his marriage.Once they were in their room, Kristian helped himself out of his clothes and returned to start marking out his meal on the Menu list.“Oh right, I have good news for you sweetheart,” Ashley said coming out of her room in a free flowery dress.“Good news? Tell me, Mommy”“It’s a surprise for now but in two days, you’ll start enjoying your delicious homemade food. I know how much you miss my cooking” “Yayyy” Kristian lets out happily.“I can’t wait, Mommy,” He said but deep inside he could already guess what the surprise would be.“You haven’t ta
As Ashley stood in the middle of the large room, she recognized her foster parents, The Rolands in front of her. How peaceful it would be to ignore them but they were blocking the only way out of the building.She glanced over her shoulder at Rachel and breathed out a tired sigh.“I thought you only just visited them yesterday so why are they here?” Rhett questioned in a low penetrating voice.Rachel’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Rhett talk, she had thought her plan would go smoothly with no hitches or edges.“Uh? I’m not sure why. I’ll ask them” She stuttered and then hurried off to meet her parents.“Mom, Dad” she called out as she took hold of their hands each, “Why are you here in the middle of the day?”“Beats me. I wonder if the company is not doing well” Ashley muttered as she proceeded towards the exit but right when she was about to pass them by, the mother grabbed her wrist tightly forcing her to a stop.“Is this how we have raised you? That you can’t even respect yo
As the elevator jolted to a halt, Ashley lost her balance and stumbled into Rhett’s chest as she let out a gasp. The sudden darkness enveloped the confined space and without further explanation, they knew they were trapped. “Oh no… no” Ashley muttered with a tired voice as she pushed herself back from her ex-husband’s grip.Rhett who was quick to grab and hold her from falling suddenly realized what was coming next for them. He might be a cold and heartless husband but he remembered her fear of confined spaces. He knows she’s claustrophobic.“Are you okay?” He asked as he grabbed her firmly this time.Ashley’s soft breath echoed in the air as she tried to escape from Rhett again but her palms were already sweaty. Followed by beads of sweat and hot chills layered over her face and body.Her heart picked a wild race which couldn’t keep up with her breathing and she clutched her chest in pain.“So…. tight. I can’t … breathe well” She said with hitched breath.“F**k this!” he cussed sile
Mr.McCall arrived at the company with Rachel and as they proceeded to the elevator, Optimist, McCall’s assistant received a message on his phone and he smiled lightly before returning the phone to his pocket.“Seems we are still on track with Madame Gu. Her assistant just sent a confirmation email to accept our offer” he reported.“Really?” he questioned with a straight look as he waited for a few seconds for the elevator door to open. Rachel who seems to be curious decided to raise a question.“Are you talking about the deal?” she asked.The elevator door spread open and Rhett stepped in without hesitation and with no reply to Rachel. “Pardon my curiosity but if it’s about this investment project then I believe I should know every detail about it” she quipped.McCall raised his head slightly as a form of communication to his assistant who acknowledged his comprehension with a nod and a “Yes boss”With his left hand in his pocket, he maintained an elegant posture behind the two other
