A Little Like Fate 45~ Sick
DELIA That week at work was normal, as usual. I had short talks with secretary Ellie and I hardly saw Javan and Levi. None of them even texted me even after I dropped countless messages for Javan. Seriously, what were those men up to? I couldn't deny the fact that I was worried. I even had to ask Ellie about their movement but all she could was, "Don't worry, wherever they are or whatever they're doing, I'm pretty sure they're okay. They might be up to a little mischief and probably don't want any disturbance." Though I didn't understand what she meant by mischief, I just had to take her advice. During the lunch break, I had my lunch and spoke to a few people before going back up to my office. I was tired because nothing interesting was happening. Just me replying to necessary emails, signing shipment papers, and going through shady-looking contract terms. I decided to get off work quickly. I wasn't feeling too well either. I gave Ellie my reason for leaving early but she explained

DELIA Lying down on my back for the past week was hell. I did nothing but sleep, take injections, and sleep. Levi didn't allow me near my phone that frequently. Speaking of Levi, he and Javan had been a really great help to me. Javan kept me company most of the time when he wasn't at work and Levi came every evening, spend some hours just to make sure I don't get up, and then he leaves. His actions were sweet but they were also frustrating. I could use some exercises but he warned me not to move about whenever he was around. Who was I to oppose? It was Saturday evening and I was lying down on the couch, my entire body covered. I sneezed frequently and it made my nose red and itchy. "The doctor will be coming over soon, he's delaying because of traffic," Levi announced and I nodded. I felt a light pain after that. Even my head was against me. "Do you want something hot? You seem to be freezing under those sheets." "Maybe a gigantic hot cup of tea would do. Yeah, I should make th

DELIA My fever had reduced a bit and I was ready to resume work during the middle of the week. I had supposedly fixed dates with the three men and I waited for the worst. I wonder what Levi was thinking when he said that. I had already carried my bag and had gone outside when I saw Javan driving in. "About time." I placed my hands on my waist as I waited for him to approach me, just the scenario of a wife waiting for her cheating husband. The only difference was that I didn't have any weapons with me. "Where were you?" I asked, frowning the whole time. "Chill, I was in isolation." He said wearily. "I wanna go inside and yeah, the boss said you should stay home and not bother about work. At least, not after your big dates." He walked past me into the house. "In isolation? What's that about? Are you sick or did you catch some kind of deadly disease? And what's all this about me not working? I am perfectly fine, thank you." I ranted as I followed behind him. He plonked on the couch
A Little Like Fate 48~ Bruce
LEVI "Are you sure about your decision?" I asked Delia strictly. She seemed firm on whatever she had decided and that was why I still find her dumb. She lacked the knowledge to make the right decisions and that was why she will continue getting hurt. "Yes, sir. Bruce is the one I choose. We started something and we will end it, no matter what. He feels the same way too." She explained. "Alright. Whatever you feel is right for you but whatever you do, let him know of what we have discussed. Three years maximum." I smiled and dismissed her. I couldn't wait for her to see who Bruce truly is. I picked up my phone and dialed Javan's number. He picked up on the second trial. "Hello, boss." His voice came up from the other end. "Anything yet? I'm getting impatient." "He's refusing to speak, boss. He's not one to expose his employer that easily." I felt my mouth twitch as those words came out. "Cut his fingers and force them to eat it if possible." I half yelled and cut the call befo
A Little Like Fate 49~ Discarded
LEVI I arrived at my grandfather's manor quite late in the afternoon. He said he wanted to speak to me when he called last night. He mentioned me going over in the morning but I didn't have enough time on my hands so I arrived late instead. Better late than never. I met him in his lounge, sipping some wine and nodding his head slowly to the beat of the jamming country music. I met my brother seated there with a boring look. "You can go back, the time has elapsed." He said on noticing my presence. Grandpa could be a very hard man sometimes but he should also be able to understand that I was busy with my already fixed schedule. There was no way Ellie nor Delia could cancel. "Good evening, grandpa." I sat opposite him, my eyes never leaving his face. He didn't seem annoyed or anything. He just had an indifferent look on his face. "I'm sorry, meetings were already piling up for me and I couldn't cancel them on time. Please, pardon me." I begged, hoping he'd change his mind. He only
A Little Like Fate 50~ Making peace
DELIA My eyes immediately caught Bruce and a weird lady who is his 'secretary' all over each other. She straddled him on the couch while he grabbed her arse tightly. I took out my phone and snapped the two of them. I would post it later and caption it in a way that the two of them would be so embarrassed and never show their face without protection. "I should have known," I said bitterly and the two disengaged from each other in a rush. "Carry on..." I said, smiled, and walked out. I quickly uploaded the photo of them and the first reaction I got was from Devin. 'I would delete that later when my anger had calmed down, but for now, let them face the music.' As I headed for the gates, I heard heavy footsteps approaching me and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me it was the cheating bàstárd. "Delia, wait!" He yelled but I paid deaf ears to him. He finally got to where I was and took my head and I slapped him out of instinct. I was angry, hurt, broken."Don't you dare touch me w
A Little Like Fate 51~ Change
DELIA Levi changed. He changed for the better and he let me resume my work but only as his PA. The marriage contract was unanimously burnt and we moved on with our lives. The only difference was that I got another best friend. Levi made sure I got everything I wanted. He gave me breaks and even reduced the workload by coming to the office frequently. He was a total sweetheart and I was loving the new him. It didn't take long before he convinced me to go on a vacation with him. He chose the destination since I didn't have anywhere in mind and after some weeks, we arrived in Paris, the most beautiful and romantic city in the world. I felt privileged and I was hoping to be productive during my stay there but on the first day, I was still sleeping. And Levi wouldn't let me rest. He was always buzzing my ears with loud words and it annoyed me. I had to cover my ears with the pillow before I could sleep. The next time he entered my room, he peeled the duvet off me and I sat up in anger
A Little Like Fate 52~ No internet day
DELIA "Will you stop that? It's not funny." I said with an unamused look on my face. "I think it's cute." He licked the last scoop and stretched the bowl for more but I took it from him and placed it in the sink. "If you won't help out, you should just chill in the living room watching Netflix." "Fine, fine." He groaned. "What do you want me to do?" He grabbed an apron and a hat and then stood beside me. I chuckled a little at his funny costume before getting back to work. ****"They're ready," I yelled to Levi who sat in the living room using his phone. I had the opportunity of peeping into his phone and I saw he was texting with several of his flings. I didn't know why it disturbed me but I tried to tell myself that it wasn't my concern and it was his life. He had the freedom to talk to as many women as he wanted. Besides, he had the money to take care of them all after they were done with their business with him. "Come on, Delia, stop thinking about it," I said to myself out
