Never Say Goodbye Chapter Ten
Gabriel "What's happening?" I demand immediately I settle down at the head of the table and Gabi sits next to me."Someone obviously leaked the information about our new product." One of the directors speaks up. "We're working on it sir.""Is there anything we can do?" Gabi asks. "We can... reduce the price of the laptop once it's released so we can have an edge over our competition." Another says. "No way." I snap. "Is that all you can say?" I glance around the faces at the table. "Can we change the design?""Well sir, considering how close it is to the release date... It'll be impossible." The assistant CTO says. "It'll derail our plans for the release and we can't let Sky Tech get away with what they did. It will also affect the next lineups."I let out a sigh. "Well... If we can't change the design then the function needs to be different. Can any new function be brought from another model?""Yes but the next product will be...""You can't guarantee that there will be a next one
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Eleven
ArianI was very surprised when I got the call about the interview. I'd found the ad on-line and I'd just decided to apply for the job without the hope of ever getting called for an interview because I'd left a lot of blank spaces due to the fact that... Rafael had not given me permission to do anything else except being his punching bag and sex slave when needed.Pushing the thought out of my mind, I grab my suitcase from its place by the wall and set it down before unzipping it then kneeling down to go through my clothes. I didn't come back here with fancy clothes even though Rafael had bought me designer dresses and shoes but I knew it was to show the world how generous he was. He'd wanted women to be jealous of me because I was married to him and they'd been - the women- but until I helped the police show the world just the kind of demon he was, they thought my life was a bed of roses. It had been hell on earth and even now... it still is.I sigh and shake my head, knowing it's n
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Twelve
Arian He'd made me watch. It had been brutal, horrifying and inhumane but Rafael had had someone hold my head so I couldn't turn my head away as he'd cut up Matteo's body. I let out a scream as the image refused to leave my mind and I slide down to the floor clutching the sides of my head and pleading with Rafael to let him go. "Arian!" A distant, concerned voice calls my name then someone's hands shake me. "Arian!" "No. No!" I shake my head. "No!" I feel arms around me and then a soothing voice begins to ring in my head telling me everything is going to be alright and my strangled sobs turn into quiet sniffles. I'm suddenly in Mrs Collins's office and not in that terrible place. I never want to go back there. "Should I call our family doctor mom?" I hear Mrs James ask. "No." Mrs Collins replies. "Not yet." I realize how foolish it was of me to go down memory lane - that memory lane - and now they probably think I'm certifiably mad. I mean, who stares off into space and then st
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Thirteen
Arian"Told you." The stupid voice sings in my head as I stare at the woman in front of me.I knew I wouldn't get the job but I didn't expect that it'd hurt this bad. I'd be homeless by Sunday and even when Mrs Collins offered to let me stay in her house, I had to refuse. But I really thought that my heartfelt speech about taking care of her children would change her mind if she'd not wanted to hire me in the first place."No one likes you Ari." The voice snickers sardonically. "Go back to Rafa. He'll take you back."I think I'll rather shoot myself and end it all before I go back to Mexico with my tail between my legs. "Um..." I start. "Okay ma'am. I understand."The woman shakes her head then presses a button on the intercom on her table. "Belinda?""Yes ma'am?" The same voice that answered me earlier speaks."Bring Kary to my office." She orders."Yes ma'am."She releases the button and looks back at me. "You're not going to take care of my children because I can do that myself bu
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Fourteen
Gabriel I have been anxious since I dropped off Kary at Gabi's house this morning but I can't say why I am. It's probably because I've been dying to know the outcome of the interview and I didn't want to call Gabi to find out until I got back from the construction site.Pulling up in front of her house by 7pm, I let out a sigh and rotate my neck to relieve the tension that has built up there, then I turn off the engine, unfasten my seatbelt and get out of the car. I know dinner is probably long over but I hope Gabi left some for me because I'm starving.I shut the door, press the lock button on my key fob and I make my way up the short steps and into the house. The construction site is a new branch of Emerson Cruz Group outside of Lagos and I probably should have had someone drive me - preferably Micah- but I'd wanted to drive to clear my head and hope that I didn't make a mistake telling Gabi to hire Arian."I'm home!" I call out as I step into the living room."Uncle Gabriel!!" Gab
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Fifteen
Gabriel I frown in my sleep wondering why I'm bouncing. A little voice calls out to me then small hands simultaneously shake me awake and I groan. "Good morning daddy." Kary's cheerful voice sings. I want to turn on my back but can't and I soon realize that she's sitting on my lower back. That's probably why I was bouncing in my sleep. "Morning baby. Did you sleep well?" My voice is groggy from sleep and I have to force myself to keep my eyes open even though I'm still very sleepy. "Yes daddy." She says. "I had fun playing with my new nanny." "So, you like her?" I sound hopeful. "Yes. She's really cool." She replies. "I know we'll be good friends." "That's good to hear." I say. I'm happy that Kary likes Arian and all that talk with Gabi last night about Arian's relationship with her ex husband - though insightful - is something I've decided I will overlook. I reach behind me to tap Kary's leg and she climbs off me so I am able to turn on my back to look at her. She's dres
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Sixteen
ArianI thought Ma'am Gabriella's house was grand... but I had yet to see Mr Cruz's house. Now that I'm standing in front of it, looking up and wondering how he managed to get this heaven built on earth, I'm in awe of the place. There's a gazebo not too far from the house and from where I'm standing, I can see a pool table, some comfortable sofas and an electric grill in the corner of the gazebo. To my left, there is a black gate leading to the side of the house where I'm sure the pool is located.I let out a sigh and lift my face to breathe in the fresh air but a moment later, I perceive a very expensive perfume in the air and I bring my head down. I gasp when I see a stunning woman dressed in a white shirt and white shorts paired with white gorgeous sandals glaring at me. She looks too expensive to be the help so I assume that she's Mr Cruz's wife."Good morning ma'am." I greet her. Mr Cruz told me to get here before seven am which is the time he leaves for work and it's six thirty
Never Say Goodbye Chapter Seventeen
Gabriel The noise in the conference room grates on my nerves but I grind my teeth together to avoid yelling at them to keep quiet. I'd told Kim to call a shareholders meeting and now I'm regretting it. "Are you okay?" Gabi asks me. "I'm fine." I say then stand up and make my way to the stage and the noise dies down. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen." They all nod in greeting and I take that as my cue to continue since I have their attention now. Behind me is a projector and on the screen are faces of some of the employees of Emerson Cruz Group. I would talk to the rest of them much later but for now, they're the only ones I can manage. "I called this meeting to apologize for...what I did." Bile rises in my throat and I force myself not to puke. Lucille put me in this mess and while I would never raise my hand to beat her because my dad told me only cowards beat women, but I'll make her pay for this humiliation some other way. I am going to crush Lucille Kendrick's spirit. "It
