Ruining My Enemy's Daughter

3. Fair Punishment > I walk out of the family courtroom, only to see my ex-Wife silently crying in a corner. Good! She deserves this. After six months of back and forth, she has finally gotten what she deserved. I pass through her and she blocks my way. “What did I ever do to get this treatment, Miko?” I raise my brow at her. “Oh well, many things… sleeping with my business partner was one of them.” I tell her, amused. “I never mistreated Jessie... You think cutting me out of her custody is a fair punishment? By doing this, you are punishing her too.” I ignore her and keep walking towards the parking lot. She tags along with me, determined to talk. “Please, I am sorry. Don’t cut me out of her life. I cannot live without her.” Her pleas are pointless. When I cut my enemy, I cut them deep. No apologies do it for me. I like my enemies dying little by little every day. I stop and look at her coldly. “She needs to be around someone who can teach her b

“Hey Riley…” He drawls, and I almost roll my eyes. “Hey Jonas.” Jonas is a typical playboy… ‘Gorgeous’ is the first word that comes to my mind whenever I look at him. But that doesn’t matter right now. His gorgeousness doesn’t hide the fact how much of an ass he is. He only talks to people when he needs some work done. Or some favor. The last time he talked to me was when… I try to think.. Nope! I don’t even remember. Oh wait. He asked me out for a date in freshman year. Most times he has other girls at his disposal and girls happily oblige to do his assignments for him. They want to be in his good graces. He is the future heir of Josef corporation after all. A favor here and there could end up a consideration in a job application after a few years later. But considering how many peers swarm around him, I don’t think he will consider any of them. I can bet he will eventually tell them it’s not in his hands. His company treats everyone fairly and they will only hire someone if

7. Gym Routine > “Daddy… Where are you, daddy?” Jessie’s voice booms over the baby monitor. “Coming, my girl…” I put the last batch of pancakes off the heated pan onto the plate and walk towards her room. Today she didn’t wake up too early, and I could cook in peace. Even better, she didn’t wake up crying. It’s hard to manage her if she cries first thing in the morning. I could hire a cook, but I enjoy doing it by myself. “Where are you, daddy… where are you?” She repeats her cute little voice until I open her bedroom door. Earlier, I was worried that she’s speaking way less for a 2 and a half year old. Now I am both delighted and surprised. “Daddy!!” she exclaims and opens her arms wide. I pick her up from the crib and hug her tight. “We will brush our teeth. Then we will eat food,” I tell her and she blinks at me. “Brush our teats,” she repeats and I stifle my laugh. “Teeth not teats.” She gets offended if she feels someone is laughing at her. …

Almighty Jonas: ‘Waiting outside.’ I smile and grab my bag to walk outside. “Bye!” I tell Ira and Natalie. “Enjoy!” Natalie says without taking her eyes off Ira’s laptop. I shake my head. I am sure they are off their online research on Mikolaj and Jonas right now. Whenever a topic starts, they love to dig for every information available online. By information, I mean genuine things. Not just gossip, but achievements, scandals, lawsuits. Odd choice of entertainment. Natalie has a nag for snooping too. A hacker trait? And she is being a bad influence on Ira. … I walk out of the Dorm building and look around to spot Jonas. My eyes fall at a Porsche Carrera GT. He roars the engine loudly and all heads turn at the car. I open the car door and whisper shout at him, “I have friends here Jonas and they talk!” He laughs. “Oh Riley… They already think you are dating me. Let me show you off a little.” My cheeks turn red with embarrassment. Once we started working on our projec

10. Panic.> .SLAP!My face tingles with warmth where her palm landed. It takes all my strength not to grab her by the hair and set her in place.I turn my face and fix my gaze at her. I can see uncertainty in her eyes as realization crosses her mind. “You can't ask me to do that. No one has any right to ask this of me,” she says in a quivering voice. Her big round eyes are simmering with tears. It doesn’t faze me. I have seen many cunning personalities hidden behind innocent faces. Does it work so often that Garrett has sent his own daughter into a Lion’s den? I will make him pay for this. “You are standing in my office with my safe compromised. I will decide what to do with you, Little Riley.”She lets out a little gasp.“You know me,” she accuses. “Yo-You know I came here with Jonas…” Her plump lips tremble as she fumbles, trying to form words “Th- then why-““Shut your mouth,” I tell her in annoyance and move away from her. I think hard. Of course, I got the
