( Jordan's POV )Mom called me. She said she wants to see me but I didn't want to go home because I am not ready to see my father after the heated argument between us the other day.Mother said it was urgent and I wonder what it can be, I just hope she is fine, deciding to go see her the following week.It is a Monday morning and I have a lot on my desk. I was informed that the date for the award has been announced already and it is fast approaching. I am not taking any action towards it yet, I am just hoping I will be lucky to get the award.I am trying to finish up my work for today so I can go to a business meeting in Boston. My flight has been booked for 2 pm. My phone ringed and I picked it up, shifting my gaze from the laptop in front of me."Good day, boss. Mr. Tristan is here to see you", Chloe informed me."Let him in", I told her and dropped the phone. I continued my work, expecting Tristan. It's been three days since I gave him the job, I never expected it would take him th
( Cassie's POV )I stirred in my sleep, remembering I have an errand to run for mom. I've been absent from school for more than a week now. I have been sick. Today is Friday and I have been doing nothing all day but sleep.I stretched with a yawn and turned to check the clock. It is 6 pm already."Shit", I scrambled out of my bed. Mom asked me to go get groceries, we are out of milk, eggs, and bread. These past few days, I have been taking more milk than usual and we have no more milk in the house anymore.I spend most of the time alone at home, doing absolutely nothing. I am always sleeping or watching a movie. I did nothing today other than take a bath and sleep after taking lunch. I intended to take a nap for a few minutes beforegoing to the grocery shop, a few distances away from here. It is quite near, so I don't need to take a cab.I dashed out of my room and rushed to the kitchen, where mom kept the money for groceries. I picked it up and ran back to my room.I was thinking of
( Jordan’s POV )The private jet landed in New York at exactly 8:1o pm. I removed my seat belt and moved out of the jet. I walked briskly to the Limousine waiting for me. I was really exhausted after a long day in Chicago. I have been gone for three days. I went there for a business meeting and the launching of my new hotels in Chicago. I was supposed to arrive in New York earlier this morning but I had to stay back to close the deals I have in Chicago. I got the deal and after signing the contract, the jet took off from Chicago at exactly 5 pm.The driver came out and took the suitcase from me. He opened the door for me and I hopped in. He dropped the suitcase beside him as he got in. We drove off.All I want to do now is take a hot bath, eat and go to bed. I have an appointment with Alexandertomorrow morning by 10 am, so I need to be up early to prepare the contract before his arrival.I am also hoping to talk to him about the award, to see if he can help in anyway. Anytime I think
( Tessa's POV )Trevor's call was expected but his request to see me wasn't expected. I know this meeting is going to be about his son, Jordan, and our supposed marriage but I can't help but wonder why he demands to see me in his private hotel and not his office or home.My father is extremely mad at Jordan for rejecting me. He suggested that I forget about him but it isn't an easy task for me.At first, I thought what I have for Jordan is lust, for how he makes me feel during sex but now I know it is more than lust. I love the idiot.My dad told Trevor that I am no longer interested in getting married to his son and he stopped picking his calls. I tried to let go of my plans to get him in every possible means but the thought of seeing him someday with some woman made me pick up the interest of getting him no matter what.Father wouldn't understand. No one will understand how much I love him.Jordan is everything that I want and need in a man. My mom is supportive and on my side, she
( Tessa's POV )Trevor stood up and walked to where I was seated. "Good."He goes to the back and puts his face next to my shoulder. I stared back at his face, wishing it was Jordan."Your father isn't picking my calls anymore", He whispered close to my ears and moved away abruptly.The action reminded me of how tense I am whenever Jordan is around and whenever I feel his breath on my skin. I close my eyes to shut the thoughts away."He is angry", I told him."I have an offer to make for you to be married to Jordan", he uttered and moved to the bar side where there are varieties of wines. He picked one up and poured it into two glasses.I watched him as he moved back to sit, placing the glass of wine before me and gulping his."What offer?" I picked the glass up and sip a little wine from it, watching him from the transparent glass.The offer to make my son yours while you give me what I want." He smirked.I am beginning to think otherwise. Why is he saying while I give him what I wan
( Damian’s POV )I love fun places, I love having fun. California is a fun place to be but I know more fun awaits me here in New York. I have unfinished business that I need to sort out before flying back to my comfort zone.I am also back here because of how much I miss New York and because of one other person, Jordan.I miss him. I miss seeing his contorted face. I miss feeling the pleasure I always derive from taking what belongs to him.This is why I am here now, to take something else and destroy it. I won't hesitate to destroy him now that I have the chance. I want to take my revenge now. I don't want to wait any longer again.Fifteen years is a long wait already. I want to destroy him and his father for making me lose my mother at a tender age.Trevor is the real enemy but I want Jordan to have a taste of the torture and pain his father had caused me, for not stopping his father from killing my mother right in my presence. Jordan saw him but he didn't stop him. He was my best
( Jordan’s POV )Lucy picks mother's call. It's been three days since I have seen my mother. I want to tell her about the pregnancy and I wish I could see her reaction after I must have told her but I can't go home. I have a busy schedule at work and I might go home late again.I want to know how she will feel about accepting the baby, hoping she will no longer pressure me about getting married."Madam is in the bathroom", she informs me. "Ok, tell her I called", I say to her."I will, sir", she responds. I am about to hang up when I hear her voice."Is it Jordan?" I hear her ask."Yes, madam", Lucy gives the phone to her."Son?" She calls loudly."Mother?" I call back with a smile. Hearing her voice gives me joy and peace. "How are you?""I am fine, love", She answers. "Any news?"I am imagining how curious she is to know the reason for my call. "Yes, there is.""Have you found someone?" She questions.I scratch my head nervously. "Not really, mom.""Why are you calling?" She demand
( Evelyn's POV )I am trying my luck one more time by going to Jordan’s office. My plans aren't easy to execute and I am left with trying to convince him to do my bidding once more before I do my worst. I wonder why he isn't even bothered about having a baby. I thought he was going to find me or call me or something but he did nothing and it is pissing me off.I am losing patience. I thought of disguising myself to allow for easy entrance into his office, impersonating one of the people he is going to have a meeting with this morning. But I decided to go as Evelyn.I don't want to show him how desperate I am. He need not know so he can succumb to my wish, eventually.I gave the receptionist another wad of notes so she could let me in. I move out of the elevator and walk to the secretary's desk. If she doesn't allow me in, I will burst into his office. I am determined to finalize everything today."Hello", I greet, with a smile. The girl at the desk raises her head. She isn't the lady
