Are you okay?

She hated this! Hated that her body always betrayed her. "I’m fine," the words managed to escape her lips. "Hey, look at me," Christopher said, those blue eyes carefully observing her. She shouted at him. "I said I'm fine!" Christopher did not flinch, instead he said, lowering his voice. "Look at me." She had turned away from him. Shaking her head in denial, her eyes had already been stained with tears. Yet, something about his tone made her obey. His expression wasn’t teasing or amusing. He didn't pity her the way Anika was thinking. Wait, why was he looking at her now like a doctor speaking to a frightened patient? How dare he! Yet, she depended on him as her chest rose and fell, feeling heavy. "Good," he said softly. "Now stop trying to take deep breaths." Anika blinked. What? "You’re forcing it." He explained. She quickly replied him saying — "Yea cos I can’t breathe!—" but he shushed her. "For a patient who needs my help, you sure are a chatter box." He ignored the h

A Deadly Virus

Anika frowned at that message. She had been texting and calling Anna since then, but she didn’t pick up. Now that it was late, she wanted to talk? She just tossed the phone onto the bed and sighed. Tomorrow was another day; she would see her then. The next morning, as early as dawn, Carlos’s call had woken her up. Groggily, she managed to say, “Carlos? What is it?” Damn it, did this man not even sleep at all? Normally, Anika was always up by 4 a.m., busy with chores before then getting ready to resume work. But she felt that life should be put behind her now that she was rich. “Please open the door to your room,” Carlos said. Anika’s eyes widened. What? She slowly made her way to the door to let him in. Carlos was well dressed in his formal attire, hair neatly groomed, and his shoes shining clean. “Why are you not dressed yet?” He frowned as he saw her in her nightdress, with her hair scattered and her looking half asleep. Scratching her head, she wet her lips, biting on her lowe

Exclusive Guest

Lark frowned. He had hoped Anna was just trying to play with his intelligence. Was an executive of Delacroix really going to be at the restaurant? He shrugged off that thought. Better not to tell Tori about it, else she would rush to tell their mother and he wasn't ready for any of their drama. "If I wanted to meet with any executives, I'll meet with them on my own terms." He muttered to himself. Now, his priority was finding Anika. From the tracking device signals, he'd found out she was at some luxurious hotel about an hour's drive from home. "I've let you have your fun, Anika. Now, I'm bringing you back home." He got dressed, then clung on to his phone. Anika did not even guess right when Carlos said she should get ready for the people coming over. She realized their logo as soon as they stepped in, a bouquet of purple flowers. It was always embroidered in their outfit, no matter the color of their polo shirt. And their face caps. Delacroix actual staff members! But from thei

Bow Down

He asked and she nodded. "Good. Let's keep up the good work." "Did you also promise her the same thing? Did you sleep with all of them too?" She scowled at him. Rufus just ignored it. These idiots didn't know that he had no power to make any of them managers or assistants. In fact, he'd even put in words to hire people with experience from outside, instead of using any of the waitresses. His hand gripped her neck tight. He'd checked to see they were at a hidden place away from the cameras. "Keep your voice down, you imbecile. Try to reach your dumb friend. She can't lose this job, you know how badly she needs it." When he let her go, she was coughing and gasping for air, trying to catch her breath. Anika had always been lucky. Even when she was miserable, somehow people still wanted to help her. Why would he care about her not losing her job, what was his fucking business, if Anika has decided to throw away her future! Rufus straightened, then assembled everyone as they went to

Young mistress?

Rufus stepped forward. "Get on your knees right now and pay respect to miss over here!" He ordered. Then ran over to Anika's side. "Miss, welcome. We're so sorry for this mess." He turned to Anna again, "are you deaf! Get on your knees and apologize right now! No sir, I'm the manager. Let me discipline her right now." He was saying to the MD as he tried to stop him. He did not understand half of what was going on right now, but if they said she was suddenly rich, then he would believe that. Her mother in law was rich actually, wasn't she? But Anika did something that shocked him, and everyone else. Anna felt her knees wobbling. Anika....was...was...rich now? Then Anika said. "I think that's a good idea." To Rufus. "Why don't we start from there?" Anna's eyes widened, her mouth falling apart from shock. The rest of the other staff couldn't even raise their heads up, afraid they would be called to fall on their own knees too. Anna blinked, watching her friend. Their eyes actually

Envy? Jealousy?

Anna suddenly started to laugh. "What is the meaning of this? Did you hire this clown just to play madam exclusive guest? That's just pathetic of you, Anika."This brought a frown to her friends face. She did not understand why Anna was being kinda rude to her. "What's your point? If it were this easy to fake getting an exclusive reservation, why haven't you ever done it before?""Because I'm not mentally ill like you've become." She replied."I feel bad for Lark. He deserves so much better..." Her nose crunched in disgust. Anika frowned because this was the first time she'd noticed this: first Lark had mentioned Anna so casually and now, she was talking about him, spewing nonsense that he deserved more than her?"So tell me then. Do you think he deserves to be with someone like you?" With her arms folded beneath her breast, she eyed her from head to toes. Her eyes came back to meet Anna's gaze, catching a sinister smirk on her face. "Of course he does. Unlike you, I actually care a

Specialist Doctor

She really hoped that was not the case. Shaking her head, she ignored them both and turned to Carlos. "Did we come very early or...is she not coming anymore?""She will be here soon. She's texted." He said. Anika then turned to the MD. "I want some alone time. And I don't want to see their faces to my guest. This meeting is...secrete."Lark frowned instantly. "Meeting? What meeting?" But she gave him no reply and was led upstairs by the MD himself. When the door shut, she eased herself to be able to breath well. Carlos noticed something was wrong but he just thought it was a normal reaction to what had happened. Anika on the other hand, she couldn't help herself. Her lungs twisted in a hard knot, making it feel like she was rubbing out of air to breath. She was not going to panic, no. They will not rush her out of there because of her stupid panic attack! Then, she thought about him. His voice was carefully saying inside her head. "Slow and steady breath," "How many object can you

The Funeral

She stood beside Lark in a blush pink dress that hugged her figure perfectly. Her brown hair was gathered into a neat bun at the nape of her neck, while two loose curls framed her delicate face. Combined with her light makeup, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. Christopher’s gaze lingered on her. Lark caught this and his expression darkened instantly. “Hey, who the hell are you, smiling at my wife like that!” Anika nearly choked. Oh God, not him! Her heart nearly stopped. Did this idiot not know who he was yelling at like that? Anika shook her head, frowning as Lark kept believing he was being a hero, defending her. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that Christopher could probably throw him through a wall. “Lark, step away, don’t cause a scene.” Anika quickly warned, but Lark was very stubborn. In contrast, he was even shorter and smaller next to Christopher, not that the charming doctor was a huge man. Still, there was this air of power resonating around him. Meanwhile,

You're fired.

Straightening her shoulders high, she was determined to ruin Anika right there. Why not? It wasn’t like anyone would believe Anika’s words over hers.The moment she arrived, she flashed him her brightest smile. “Dr. Christopher, hi!”Christopher glanced at her briefly before returning his attention to the funeral proceedings. He barely managed to reply before his gaze left hers.Tori’s smile stiffened. “I take it that you don’t remember me. I’m Tori Gold. I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about the Golds.”“No,” he replied without looking at her.The single word nearly made her choke. Still, she forced herself to continue. “I actually know Anika very well.”That got his attention. Tori immediately smiled. “She’s my sister.”Christopher’s expression remained unreadable. “Really?”“Yes.” Tori sighed dramatically. “Honestly, she’s had a difficult life. She’s always been…ambitious.”A few nearby guests turned toward them. Exactly what Tori wanted. Desiree was watching too, with a smug grin plan

She Wouldn't...

His eyes read every lines. Every word from the email. More notifications popped in from every Delacroix staff member group and his name was bold right there. He had been fired. He fell to the ground, tears staining his eyes.Tori rushed to his side. "What is it? What happened?" Then her gaze followed his as she scanned through with her eyes. A soft gasp escaped her lips as her eyes shone bright in horror. "What the fuck!"Anika just stood there observing it all. Ten men rushed inside, all bowing down to Anika. Then she ordered, "kick everyone out of here right now."Desiree watched as she radiated power. The way she quietly commanded...she waited. Until...in deep voice, one of them who looked like the leader said, his voice rumbling. "Everyone get out right now while we're still being nice!." Three...Two...In total chaos, everyone jumped to their feet and ran outside, not even taking a second glance behind. You would think it was raining fire and everyone took cover. The entrance c
