Nadia rubbed the back of her neck before she returned to typing on her laptop. As soon as she began working, she realized that this was a false alert and that she didn't need to follow the tracks of this hacker. It was simply an internal glitch, someone from the development department must be testing her firewall. Some of them were having a hard time accepting that WhiteFlower, an outsider, is doing a better job at protecting their digital system than they were. Wich was why she was paid a hefty sum of money which all went to support her multiple investments. If these fake alerts kept going she was going to have to report it to Dean to deal with the development team. It was high time they hired some female IT employees to drop those men's edge a few pegs down. She was always in for letting a little male ege take a healthy fall. Nadia then realized one thing. If she was going away in a few days, there was no way that she will be able to continue her relationship with WTech. So her pl

“Mommy, are we still leaving?” Luke asked making Nadia’s heart go out to her son. Before she could muster the words to reassure her son, Dean was already making his way toward him. He knelt before him looking him in the eyes. “Don’t you want to go away with your mommy?” He asked and Luke shook his head vehemently. “No, I want to stay here with everyone,” he answered with a small frown. “Then why don’t you stay here with Uncle Dean? We can wait for Mommy here,” he said. Luke frowned and then looked at her his eyes filling with more tears. Then mustering his strength, he seemed to try stopping himself from crying before speaking. “No, I won’t leave Mommy alone. She will be lonely without me. I have to stay with her!” He exclaimed giving Dean the challenging look she suddenly remembered. It was the exact same look she’d given her father when she’d told him that she would be having Luke. She was ready to let go of everything to be with him. And now he was ready to do the same for h

“Here is what’s going to happen, gentlemen,” Nadia said as she stood in the meeting room the group of developers who turned out to be responsible for the hacking incident were standing before her their heads bowed and their skins as white as a sheet of paper. Dean sat at the back of the meeting room watching everything. His presence was in case she needs his intervention but now he realized that his intervention wasn’t needed. They didn’t even seem to notice his presence. This is how scared they were of Nadia. He smiled as he watched her lecture them to the point of tears, it was ridiculous to watch, they were grown men, and Nadia wasn’t exactly a big woman. But still, her presence was no joke. Dean was simply glad that this time he wasn’t on the receiving end of her anger. She came into the office all eyes on her. Whispers followed them around about the article but she paid them no mind, she didn’t seem to notice at all and even if she did, Dean had the impression that she wouldn’t

Nadia took a deep breath and watched from afar as Mark walked down the stairs. He barely changed over the years, the same charm and elegance radiated from him, his disarming innocent smile which made everyone drawn to him, and those brilliant eyes which held a calculating glint that she’d failed to see over the years. He didn’t change at all. He never changes. The same old tricks. Helping out an employee with his documents, smiling at the security guard, and treating the cleaning lady well. Every single one of those gestures was calculated, but he always ended up using the same method. The same facade. And he was going to find out soon that his compelling means are becoming old. He would have to use better trickery if he was going to get to her this time. Not like she was going to let him… Nadia looked down at her phone once again sending a text to Dean that she was in a meeting. Foregoing picking up her laptop, she made her way back to where Kanna was waiting for her in order to w

Nadia silently stepped into her darkened apartment not bothering with the lights as she made her way inside. Dean closed the door behind him, his silence heavy between them. She had been doing her best to look normal in front of Leilah as they chatted in the car but now that they were back alone, she was faced with their earlier conversation. Clenching her fists, she looked back at him. His eyes were absently on the night view from her windows and as his blue gaze shifted to her she could see wariness in them. He was wary of her now. “ I don’t believe I told you this before but, if this is too much for you we can cancel it,” She said and his eyes widened as he looked at her. “What?! Why?” He asked looking at her with confusion. "Then why are you suddenly talking about that person? If you’re regretting this, there is no need for you to talk like that, I will be totally fine on my own. There is no need for you to look for another person to stick me with,” She said but Dean remained s
