Zebastian's point of view
Time flies by so quickly. As I stepped out of my luxury vehicle, the guard arrived to take my belongings and deliver them to someone assigned to my office.
The world's largest building, the center of attraction, and the building that employs millions of people, all of whom are paid well. A massive structure that provided employment regardless of your educational level. It was done on purpose to be categorical. From the lowest to the highest level of education attained.
It was the only building that hired a high school graduate and provided them with free education. Why? As a result, they will not remain on that ground for the rest of their lives.
DREAM HIGH CORPORATION provided all possible opportunities, particularly to those in need. It was a car dealership, the most recent dealership for all types of vehicles. We sell automobiles and all automobile accessories. Branches had been established all over the world, managed by people I knew and trusted. Yours truly, Zebastian Dawson, owns and manages it.
"Good morning, sir," my secretary said as she walked into my office.
I was about to take a seat when I noticed someone behind her, so I took a deep breath and sent my secretary out of the room.
She complied because she was used to it.
"What brought you here, Hattie?"
Hattie Lane is her name. the daughter of a business acquaintance. She was claiming that we were in a relationship, but that is not the case for me. She always combed her hair and wished her a good day. It's certainly not my fault. She needs my company, and I need her company too. But it will remain that way indefinitely. Give and take relationship.
She's not my type, to be honest, and I've lost interest in girls since... damn. I'm not going to think about it. It will undoubtedly ruin the day.
"Hello, Zeb. I've missed you."
She approaches me and sits on my lap. I could feel her soft butt in my lap and her massive boobs in front of me. This woman is a scumbag. She knows how to irritate me.
What the hell is wrong with me if all I feel for her is lust?
"Wait a minute, Hattie, I'm at work and it's office hours."
"Shhhh. Don't give that shit to me, Zeb. You own the company, and you always know how to make excuses, here you are the law; I know you."
"I know, but I have a meeting in an hour and I don't have time for this right now, so could you please..."
She was deafeningly silent. She had just kissed me passionately, and I could feel her hands in my toy. She attempted to unzip my pants, and there she is.
She began to remove her clothes until she was completely naked.
She's perfect—her figure, her skin, everything about her—so who am I to argue and resist?
I led her to the couch and gave her what she needed. I can see her biting her lips and closing her eyes as she played the game.
It was early in the morning, but I was exhausted from caressing her big boobs. I sucked her in and made her happy.
We just laughed together.
That's how we do it. Anytime, anywhere..
That was part of growing up for me. Having sex with Hattie brightened my day. Unfortunately, it wasn't just sex on her part, and that was the part I despised the most...
When Hattie finished putting on her dress, she looked at me.
"What?" I asked her as I rushed to get ready for my meeting.
"I was just wondering when you were going to propose to me."
I burst out laughing.
"What's funny?" she asked again, crossing her brows...
"Hattie, you've got to be kidding; if it's a joke, okay, it made me laugh," I said.
"Zeb, I'm not making fun of you, it was never a joke on me, and you know that. I'm serious.. I'm serious.. You are at your right age, and so am I. I wanted to build a family of my own like my brothers have; I am the only one single in the family, and.."
"Hattie, getting married was never on my mind, okay? You can see how busy I am with my business, and I wanted to focus on it. We had an agreement. We came into this kind of setup. No pressure, no commitment at all, and most importantly, no marriage to talk about. I was just trying to remind you..." I said, adjusting my tie.
I saw disappointment on her face. I'm familiar with her.
"Zeb, didn't you tell me you were taking that seriously? We're just having sex for no reason? You know, I love you, and I've always been by your side; I never looked around for a replacement, knowing that guys out there are willing to do anything to replace you. Everything just to be with me!"
"Hattie, I wasn't one of those guys; remember how I said I don't like commitments and hate pressures in relationships? That was a big distraction on my part as a businessman."
"So unreasonable, Zeb. Businessmen are seen to be very happy with their own families, which serves as their inspiration and motivation."
"I'm not one of them..- having a family was never my plan.. I can go out for fun, and that's enough for me, so if you think you're wasting your time staying with me, then you're free to go and find that soon-to-be family that you were saying, okay? I won't stop you."
I couldn't imagine saying those words to such a beautiful woman.
I'm sorry for what happened to her, but I was just trying to be true to myself and to her.
I'm familiar with her kind. I know she was just looking for my name. Being associated with the name I worked so hard to obtain. a name that was once underestimated and dismissed.
I know that girls will strive for a bright future. They will seek a good and comfortable life, one that will ensure that all of their needs are met.
"I'm sorry, Hattie, but I can't stay in my office all day, I need to catch up on my meeting, and I think I'm 10 minutes late, I have to go."
She took her handbag and left the office first. I'm sure she felt bad about what I said to her—life. that's It is sometimes necessary to hear something negative in order to realize that we are not always on top.
And I'm sorry that Hattie had to deal with the worst of me. I altered... from a man with nothing but the desire to give love. to a man who has everything but doesn't believe in the concept of love
Not any longer...
That was after I was dumped because I had nothing to offer.
It was eight years ago.Raven's Point of ViewI had just gotten out of bed, and it was the first day that I didn't have to rush around for school. Graduation is over, and now I enter a new phase of my life. I'm 20 years old and recently graduated from college with a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Financial Management.I was the eldest of Mr. and Mrs. Adelina and Lucas Reeves' two children.Rane, my spoiled brat brother, is one of my siblings. Maybe it's because we adore him so much."Good morning, Raven, so what are you up to today?" my mother inquired.I was raised in a modest and moderate manner. We are not wealthy, but we have enough to eat three times a day or whenever we want. We can go out for family gatherings as well as family dates. My father was a government employee, and my mother was a teacher, but she retired because dad was already taking care of our finances, and now that I am finished with college, I can also assist them.My younger brother i
Raven's point of view"What are you doing here?" Zeb was surprised when she looked up and saw me in front of him.He wasn't expecting me to pay him a visit at their shop."Well, I just had a thought and dropped it here before going to do something important this morning, and seeing the love of my life is somehow important to me," I giggled, staring at him.He blushed .. "Wow! I'm sorry I won't be able to attend...""It's okay, love! I know and I see how busy you are, don't worry, my friends will come to pick me up," I said."What? As in here at the shop? But love...—""Why? There's nothing wrong with it, okay?"Now I know what he was thinking. I'm sure he's aware of how my friends degrade him when he's with me. How much more if they come and pick me up at the shop they despise the most?He stood up and turned to face me. The dirt on his hands has never stopped me from hugging and kissing him."I'm so filthy, love."He tried to distance himself from me, but the closer I get to him, th
Raven's Point of ViewZeb was correct.Lexi and Neri, my friends, did not come to pick me up. It's no longer surprising to me. They promised themselves, especially Lexi, that they would not enter that place. More likely, a junkyard where all the old cars were dumped."I love you, thank you for the ride; sorry, I know you don't feel good about it, but you can get out of your car and talk to my friends; I want them to know you drove me here and you are responsible enough," I said to alleviate disappointment.I thanked God because he did. At the very least, I know he's not mad at me."Hello girls.. sorry for being late, I just had to drop by at -""At Zebastian's old car shop?" she asked, her smile wicked."Lexi, shut up!" Neri attempted to silence Lexi.Zeb pretended he hadn't heard anything."Hello, Zeb. Thank you for bringing Raven here. Lexi was just too lazy to drive a car, so we'll have to wait here," Neri explained."It's my pleasure, Neri. Anyway, I won't be long. I have more thi
Raven's point of view"Cheers! to a successful day. Finally, we are employed at TEMPO, so we will be wearing this uniform starting on Monday," Lexi exclaimed as she flexed her uniform in front of me and Neri.They are both excited amd I van see it in theor eyes.. while I was nervous and uneasy.. Neri smiled at me quietly. She knows how much Lexi enjoyed working at TEMPO. Who wouldn't, after all? It is the largest automobile manufacturer and, in fact, the best option for any wealthy individual."Can you imagine how your life will be if you ever give Axel a chance in your heart? You will be a queen, and you will live life to the fullest. Every girls will look up in you and do everything just to please you..— If I were you, I would start planning how you will break up with Zeb. We can help you if you want," Lexi said seriously."Lexi, will you please stop? That was so awkward! Please be sensitive to how Raven would feel! We hired there to work for our assigned job and not to flirt with
Zebastian's point of view...We were driving to Raven's house. I was supposed to take her on a date, but I got bored. I'm referring to what I heard earlier. Why TEMPO, of all companies in the world? That was a major affront on my part.I'm aware that Raven's family does not think I'm the right man for her. They have seen me as the person I am now, working in my father's old car shop. Raven didn't expect me to waste my time and knowledge working in my father's shop, which is no longer the case.I understand how Raven's friends perceive me; I know and understand that they want Raven to have a successful and comfortable life, and I admit that I can't provide that for her right now.I took a deep breath, knowing Raven would eventually decide to leave me. I know it will hurt, but I need to go through all of this. I need to know what she can do to demonstrate her patience and love for me."That was too deep, love; is there any problem?" she asked abruptly when she noticed I wasn't saying an
Raven's Point of ViewDays, weeks, and months went by. I've been enjoying my work. I used to work as a cashier in the sales department. I enjoyed entertaining the very wealthy. I liked working there because I got a commission on top of my monthly salary when someone bought a car. That was a big help for me.I also offered to assist Zeb in renovating their shop, but he declined. I don't understand, and I was becoming increasingly irritated by his recent behavior.I didn't expect him to refuse my assistance."Hi!"When I heard someone speaking behind me, I was taken aback. When I turned around, it was Axel, my boss."Sir!""No, sir! We've already left the company, and it's past office hours, so just call me Axel, okay?" He smiled at me."All right, Axel," I said. I was extremely shy and uneasy. Zeb will be there shortly to pick me up."Are you going home alone?" he inquired."Yes sir, Zeb is going to pick me up; I was just waiting for him," I politely replied."Okay, but here's some adv
Zebastian's point of viewI felt like I had experienced everything bad in life as she turned her back on me. I tried to catch up with her, but she was gone. I'm not sure why it has to happen. Why did she give up so easily, making me feel less than who I am now?My eyes welled up with tears, and I could feel my body weakening. I couldn't get myself out of my chair. I can't even look around because there's nothing visible. Because of the tears in my eyes, my vision became blurry.Until I felt someone assist me in standing up It was FatherHe hugged me tightly, and I could feel his heart racing. I turned to face him, and he held my gaze. He put his hand on my shoulder and offered me a glass of water.I bowed my head as I placed the glass of water beside the couch on the table."To avoid dehydration," he explained as he sat in front of me. "I heard everything, from the beginning to the end. I felt the pain, son, and it took me almost an hour to think of a word that I have to say just to m
Zebastian's Pov"Raven—."Raven can't even look at me. I missed her, and I was expecting her to hug me, or if not, even just to stare at me and tell me that she missed me too."Raven, can we talk? I know things weren't that good for the past few days. You asked for freedom, and I have given it to you, thinking that it will make you feel comfortable in your job and in achieving your dreams. I love you, that is why I didn't stop you from doing what makes you happy! But why? Of all people, Raven? It's been Axel all along.. it's been Axel who is the real reason why you broke up with me. Why? Am I not enough?" I had the courage to ask her that stupid question, though I already knew the painful answer.Raven took a deep breath. She changed a lot. I can no longer see that woman whom I loved before. The woman who used to look at me with so much love All I can see now is a woman who has a cold heart. a woman who doesn't want me in her life."Zeb, you should not be here. We already talked abou
