Edmond pov
Knock! knock!
'come in' I say to whoever is knocking on my office door to come in.
'hey buddy, who the fuck is that bitch?' Brian says annoyingly as he enters my office.
Wow! Brian is not one to use these kind of words so I am quite surprised that he used it so fast with no hesitations.
' word' I tell him sternly as I make my way to my office chair.
Sometimes I just cannot believe this brat is my best friend.
Even though he is kind of cool, he behaves like a spoilt child sometimes.
'now tell me, why are you calling my secretary a bitch?’ I calmly ask him.
Sometimes I wonder how Brian became my best-friend. He is so annoying and always gets on my nerves.
' I told that lady I am your favorite friend and I can come in anytime without knocking and I could come to you with no appointments whatsoever but she been the annoying ass person I have met so far since I arrived in the country insisted I have to knock before I can enter and asked me to book an appointment.’ Brian says, looking as if he wants to strangle my secretary right this minute.
'so your problem is, she told you to knock before coming in?' I ask him, rubbing my forehead boringly.
I am already stressed out and I do not need Brian to bombard me with another one of his unreasonable childish rants.
'exactly' he responds proudly as he makes himself comfortable on my sofa.
He says it as if he has won a court case.
' There is no need to be angry. I will just tell her you are not supposed to knock before you come here or have any appointments to be able to see me. Is that okay?’ I ask him as he nods his head yes, smiling cheekily at me.
Sometimes I wonder if Brian is really older than me.
He is two years older than me, at least that is what their world says.
Anyways, he is supposed to act a little matured but he is always behaving like a spoiled rich brat.
Even though he has a lot of companies and is very successful, he acts foolishly sometimes.
'Hey, you have not been sleeping right?' Brian ask, looking all serious all of a sudden, turning all fatherly on me.
I am not surprised to hear him ask though.
I knew he would ask anyways. Looking at the black bags under my eyes, there is no way he was not going to ask.
He has always been the observant one.
'yeah' I say tiredly. Ever since Bernard left, I have been consumed by work that I do not even get time to sleep.
'I have been telling you not to stress yourself too much but you seem not to pay heed to it. Do you?' Brian says tiredly.
Brian may behave like a child sometimes but when he switches to serious mode, then you will not even believe he is the playful soul.
'why are you here, do you not have any work to attend to? I ask him, brushing off his previous question.
' nope'! He says, popping the P.
Ugh! So annoying.
'Don't you have a meeting? I mean, you only come to our country here only when you have meetings' I say as I light a cigarette.
'No. This time I have come to stay.’ He says and I just raise a questioning eyebrow at him.
He has come to stay? Why the sudden change of mind?
I mean, I have been probing him to join me here for the past months and he always had a reason to turn it down so I am quite supprised that he has suddenly decided to compromise.
Or maybe this is not even about me. I do not want to pry in his private space but the curiosity is almost tempting me to.
I know best-friends share everything, whether personal or not.
We are supposed to trust each other with our problems but I have set a boundary between me and Brian’s friendship.
He cannot stand the reality of my life, my private life.
~time skip~
Brian does not keep me in the dark for too long though.
He immediately tells me the reason why he decided to leave Miami for here.
I cannot believe he did not leave when I asked him but decided to leave for a girl.
I mean it is not like the situation was even his business.
I think he is just too whipped to refuse his wife.
He does not want to accept it whenever I bring it up but I know he is seriously and undoubtedly whipped by Thea.
When he tells me all about the sad story of his wife's friend, I find myself getting truly curious about about the girl.
I mean, Brian mentioned about a certain kind of fortune.
He said his wife told him that the groom said the reason he ever got together with that woman was because of something worth a billion dollars.
I know I should not be caring or thinking about that because it is not even supposed to be my business but something about the story seems to intrigue me.
My senses has never failed me so I have every right to be curious if it is telling me to be.
Plus, I am a business man who would never bypass a good opportunity.
Talking of opportunities, I did not hesitate to agree to Brian's proposal when he suggested I allowed the woman to work with me.
I did not even ask him why he would want her to work with me whiles he has a lot of companies she can work in.
I guess that just shows how desperate I am.
I do not know but the demon in me has suddenly become restless.
My mind has been suddenly filled with thoughts I thought were far from reality.
Things I thought would not happen anytime soon.
"she is the one" that is the only thing my foggy mind keeps on repeating in my head.
I do not know who it is talking about but as I said, my senses has never decieved me and I know it is not going to now.
And now, I can feel it in my own self too.
I think it is finally time!

May I know how you like your coffee please?’ Jessa ask in a friendly yet professional voice.'I want it black.

Edmond's POVJessa has been sleeping soundly for about I think thirty minutes now and the atmosphere in the officeis very serene until a loud scream cut through the air, which makes me run into the lounge immediately.And the view I am met with is not one I was expecting .There on the bed is a very sweaty Jessa. Her white shirt is so wet, it seems she just had a shower with her clothes on.Not only is she wet but she is also sweating even more profusely and looking at her, I have no doubts that she is having a nightmare.'No, no I have nothing to give you. Leave me alone please.. I have nothing with meee.’ she screams as she thrash about in the bed, moving from left to right.'Hey sweetie, no one is here to take anything from you. It is just you and me. I am here with you and I am not going to let any harm befall you in my presence.’ I say as I rub her ar

How are you all?' Edmond asks and Jessa’s heart skips a beat just from the mere sound of his voice.'hey Jessa, are you not going to congratulate me?' Halley says, a stupid smirk playing on her lips whiles showing off her ring.'oh congrats! Sorry I did not know you guys are already married... I would have even attended your wedding' Jessa says, putting on a fake smile.'thanks and actually, me and my husband decided to just register the marriage in a court.
