Chapter 31: Ruined dayGeorge's POVI came home today, feeling content as ever. Work had been going smoothly, and I even secured some potential clients. The best part was that Isabella had finally stopped her constant crying and seemed to be recovering from missing Patrick, which was a huge relief.To surprise Susan and make her feel special, I picked up some flowers and her favorite chocolates on my way home."Hello, I am back! Where is my beautiful, amazing wife?" I called out, trying to sound romantic and cheerful."In the kitchen, darling," Susan replied.I entered the kitchen with a big smile, wrapping my arms around Susan from behind and planting a kiss on her neck."Hmm, someone seems unusually happy today that they had to announce their arrival," Susan remarked as she continued to chop the vegetables for her cooking."Yes, dear. I am incredibly happy today to see my lovely wife, shining like the sun and as beautiful as the moon," I said, lost in the moment as I presented the

Sebastian's POVWhat does she want now? I have given her everything she asked for and more, but it's never enough for her!Why won't she leave me alone? She had always acted like she cared about me but we both knew that was far from the truth."Hi, Sugar, how are you?" Alice came into my office, closed the door, and gave me a kiss."I am good. Why are you here?" I asked Alice who had suddenly broken my chain of thoughts.Alice looked at me and asked, "Can't I see how my boyfriend is doing? What's bothering you? You look tired."I sighed and said, "Just stressed from work." I wasn't really in the mood to talk or see anyone at the moment."I can tell, dear. Your face says it all. How about we go out tonight and relax..."Alice moved closer and sat on my lap, trying to cheer me up, but I couldn't focus on what she was doing."Alice, I am really not in the mood. Let's do this another time."Alice stopped her sensual movement on my lap and asked, "What's going on? You have been acting stra

Alexandria's POVGetting closer to Patrick had proven to be a bit challenging, but I was still determined not to give up. Today, I dressed in a high-waisted black skirt paired with a crisp white shirt and red shoes and bag. I was headed to Patrick's office, and I wanted to make a strong impression.As soon as I entered the office, all eyes were on me, just the way I had intended. I noticed Mr. Berkeley, who regarded me with a mix of anger and frustration in his eyes.Ever since I had turned down Mr. Smith and his associates' offer to join them, they had treated me with indifference, as if I were a traitor, but I didn't care.I had also heard that ever since Mr. Berkeley had lost his director position, many of the staff had lost respect for him. He was quite fortunate that I hadn't started working in the office yet, or I would have made things even more difficult for him.This was one of the reasons why I had come to see Patrick. He had been avoiding the topic of promoting me to the p

Patrick's POVReceiving Susan's call last night left me feeling disappointed. I had already made plans to attend Isabella's sports day and make it a memorable day for hWhy would the school suddenly cancel such an event? It was truly disappointing.I began getting dressed for work since the sports day would no longer hold. I had already even informed Trisha and Sebastian that I wouldn't be coming to the office today. They would be surprised to see me at the company.I thought about the situation and realized that Isabella would be quite upset that the sports day was canceled. She had been looking forward to the games I promised to play with her.I picked up my phone and dialed Susan's number, considering suggesting that I pick up Isabella for the weekend to spend time with her and make up for the canceled sports day.After the third ring, the call was answered, and I heard Isabella's sweet voice on the other end, "Daddy!"I smiled and replied, "Yes, my princess. How are you today?""G

George's POVWhat was the meaning of this nonsense? I didn't expect today to turn out this way at all. This was supposed to be me having a nice family time with Susan and Isabella but it seemed like I was the third wheel here!I was so angry at Susan but tried to control myself. How could she had made the decision of inviting Patrick to Isabella's sports day without even informing me in the first place!I was not ready to give Patrick the satisfaction that he was winning when Isabella went along with him, so I stayed behind. I wanted to prove to him that Susan and Isabella was still my family and not his!Those women made things worse by fawning over him. What's so special about him other than being athletic and having money?Patrick was clearly enjoying himself until a beautiful lady stole the spotlight.Everyone wondered who she was, and Susan seemed curious when the lady kissed Patrick on the cheek."Hi everyone, I am Alexandria, but you can call me Alex.
