    Nikolas POVThe whole department gasped in awe as the mother walked passed them angrily before heading to the elevator. She shoved one of the new interns who held some documents to be signed. It fell all over the floor, while the girl tripped. “Someone should please help her out,” I asked calmly. It was heart-warming to see other colleagues helping her pick up all of them and helping her to her feet.“It’s nice to know people still care.” I thought to myself as I nodded to them in gratitude. Immediately, I entered the HR room to see Richard wiping sweat beading on his forehead. His white shirt was also drenched. His eyes lit up with fear as he met the dark gaze of mine. “Good morning Richard, I can see you’ve been very busy today,” I said with a sinister smile on my face. His face turned pale. “Good morning…no, actually, I was only listening to Madam Irene as a shareholder, I would never sack an employee without probable cause.” He hesitantly replied. His hands were all sweaty as h

    Irene POVWhen I got home later in the evening, I met the butler at the mansion's doorway. He had a respectable smile and slightly bowed to me.“Welcome back, Mrs. Wood,” He said in a calm tone. I huffed as I walked past him. “ What’s good about this evening, Walter?” I snarled at him. The sky was pitch black as no stars were visible that night. The air became thicker as I climbed up the stairs. One of the domestic staff dressed in a white and black uniform stood at the entrance of my door with a well-polished silver tray and a glass of orange juice. She nervously averted my gaze as her hands slowly trembled while holding it.I gestured for her to return it to the kitchen as I slammed my huge bedroom doors behind me. I could sense a headache coming up as I sat on the sofa close to my bed. I gently massaged my temples with my fingers as I slumped on the sofa.Not long after I sat down, I heard a gentle tap on my door. Before I could respond, the doors swung open, revealing Celeste in

I listened keenly as his footsteps receded. He knocked on my door gently as he entered.“Good evening Mother-” he greeted in a calm voice. I nodded in approval as he sat down on a chair close to my large-size bed.“My apologies…I was deep in thoughts.” He said in a gentle tone. A wave of joy washed over me.“For a moment, I thought you forgot about me.” I said in a sarcastic voice. His eyes widened in shock.“Of course not Mother, that

    Rainora POVWe arrived at my apartment building forty-five minutes later. The ride was quiet and awkward as no one would give in. Nikolas casually glanced at me while driving, letting out a ‘hmph’ sound. I pressed my lips in protest and feigned ignorance of his exasperation.“Goodnight, Mr.Woods-” I snapped quickly at him and stepped out of his car. He had a cold glint in his eyes as he watched my retreating figure.I clenched my bag angrily as I approached the ground floor of my building. I forced a smile as I greeted the doorman and headed into the lift. Just as I pressed the button to the floor leading to my house, a masculine fist stopped the motion of the sliding doors midway. I looked up to see Nikolas grinning as he also stepped into the elevator. My heart beat raced quickly as he stood right in front of me, his piercing gaze ran through my body as the elevator closed. Like he could see my soul. I wiped the sweat beading on my forehead as he continued to stare at me with a smu

Instinctively, I stylishly moved inches away from Caleb. The aura in the room thickened as it tensed up. Low-tone whispers were hurling around the lobby. Everyone watched in anticipation, like watching a scene out of a movie. Sensing the weird atmosphere, Caleb cleared his throat to ease tension. “Cough..Fancy seeing you here, brother.” Caleb forced a smile on his face. Nikolas remained unfazed. “I was just about to ask you the same question, little brother.” Nikolas has a smirk on his face. Caleb clenched his fist.

However, a wave of optimism washed over me as the likelihood that this plan could work seemed very high.“I know I can make her fall in love with me,” I mumbled to myself in vigor. I had a grin on my face. Celeste had a mischievous smile on her face as she met her gaze.I waited several days for the tension to quiet down. I dressed up in a navy-blue tailored suit.
