My editor finally corrected one mistake.
For my new readers who opened this book starting from 4th July 2023, Chapter 91: For Love would be the same thing as the first apology Chapter. But for the old readers, this chapter would be the second free Chapter to make up for having to pay for two repeated chapters.New readers only have to pay for one repeated Chapter, so this chapter will make up for it.Once again, I'm sorry. please enjoy🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹***********Taylor was in her office preparing some files for her board meeting which would be in a few hours when there was a knock on her door."Come in." She said without lifting her head to stare at the person who had just opened the door."Mr. Romero is ready," Victoria announced, making Taylor raise her head to stare at her."Ohhhh, I almost forgot. I'll be with him in a few minutes." Taylor replied as she was still sorting out the files. As Victoria turned to walk out of the office, Taylor raised her head again."Victoria, please prepare the contract." Victoria nodded her head and walked out of the office while Taylor continued whatever she was doing. After a few minutes, Victoria walked in carrying the contract files with her."Here." She said.Taylor collected it. "Thank you." And began to walk out of her office after adjusting her skirt properly. When Taylor was at the entrance of the meeting room, she cleared her throat a little aloud and finally opened the door."Mr. Romero, welcome."Alejandro rose to his feet once Taylor walked in and was coming closer to him."Thanks for coming," Taylor said, outstretching her hand for a handshake. Alejandro took it before they sat down.Taylor handed the contract to him. "It's easy so you can go through it. I'll wait." She said. Alejandro opened it and began to read through it. Even as he was reading it, his mind wasn't really where he was. He was thinking about the consequences of what he was doing and exactly why Leo wanted him to do this.He finally looked left, then right."Are you looking for something?""No. How's your friend? The lady who got hurt? Is she fine?"Taylor let out a smile.."She's great, thank you."Taylor couldn't judge quickly, so she decided to take her mind off thinking that Alejandro liked Talia, or that things might work out for them in the future.Alejandro smiled and nodded his head. He continued staring at the contract while Taylor was patiently waiting. Taylor's phone began to ring and she had to stand on her feet"Excuse me?"She began to walk towards the door until she was out of the room to see that it was Bryan calling her."Hey." Taylor greeted first"Hey, Tay, are you alright?""Yeah, I'm fine. Is something wrong?""No. I just thought to come pick you up after work. Maybe we can go out for dinner?"Taylor chuckled. She had a tight schedule today because of the new investors in the company, but she could still make up time for Bryan if he wanted to spend some time with her."Is that a date?" Taylor teasedBryan chuckled aloud. "It's a date, Taylor. A date I've been dying to take you out on."Taylor's face immediately turned crimson red when she heard him. This was going to be the first date with Bryan because in the past, there was never anything like a happy time or family time but it was different now."You there?"She fluttered her brows twice. "Yes, I'll call you when I'm about to leave work.""Alright, I miss you."Her heart thumped for a second, but she returned to normal after that. Those words were so new to her, especially because it was coming from Bryan."I…I…miss you too." She replied with a lower tone. These were words she had always been dying to hear in the past.Bryan knew Taylor just found it difficult to say those words aloud. He knew how to take things slowly and win her heart again."Stay focused. Bye, I love you, Taylor." He said and immediately ended the call, not even giving her the slightest chance to gasp or even mutter anything to herself like she had done the first timeBryan continued to stare at his phone even after he had ended the call. His hands were dying to press the call button again and hear Taylor's voice.Bryan had never wanted to love anybody the way he loved his mom because he had lost her at a very early age. He knew the thing he always had with Stella wasn't so real after all.His heart was still beating, and his mind was filled with thoughts of Taylor and what their dinner date would be like. He would show Taylor just how much he loves her tonight.When Bryan was about to dial Taylor's number again, there was a sudden knock on his door"Come in." He said, adjusting to his seat. The door opened and his secretary walked right in."Ms. Sasha's here to see you, sir.""Let her in please," Bryan replied.He earlier contacted Sasha and asked for a meeting. Bryan was going to get to the root of everything. First, he wanted to keep it a secret from Talia because she was too soft and emotional.He would handle it with the help of Sasha."Hey." Sasha walked right in, swaying her hips side by side, enough for Bryan to notice. It was only for a quick second, but Bryan could have sworn that he had just admired her body figure. She was in a super light outfit that made her inner wears so visible for him to see. Her curves were so huge that he had to flutter his brows multiple times and avert his gaze directly to her eyes.She let out a wide smile with her plump red lips, and it made Bryan swallow hard."Please, have a seat." He said.Sasha had to keep it in mind, she was making real progress here. Today, it was Bryan who called her first, and today she had also seen the lust in his eyes.After the call ended, Taylor placed the phone on her chest and let out a smile. It was obvious she couldn't stop thinking about the words Bryan had said to her earlier.She turned around, opened the door, and walked back in because Alejandro was still waiting for her."So sorry."Taylor took her seat again, while Alejandro handed the file to her. "It's done." He said. Taylor opened it and began to stare at it. "Thank you so much, Mr Romero."As Alejandro rose to his feet, she called his attention again. "I'd like to let you know, there are still available shares in the company if you're interested. My late father trusted you, and I'm thankful he was never wrong about you."Alejandro forced out a smile even though he wasn't happy because that guilt didn't fail to eat him deep. He had known Taylor's father to be a good man, and most importantly business-wise."Give me some time to think about it. I'll give you a decision soon."Taylor smiled. "Alright."She rose to her feet and walked
"Please sit," Bryan said after the long stare had been concluded and he had returned to his senses. He returned his gaze to his laptop while Sasha walked toward the seat.She took her seat but didn't stop smiling at him so foolishly."I received your message."Bryan cleared his throat aloud and then shut his laptop. He decided not to look at her the way he had just done again."I need more information. How can I get into the Mercidi family? I don't care if I have to risk my life or whatever it takes. I need to get closer to anyone of them." Bryan wasn't ready to let Sasha know his reasons. He couldn't trust anyone, especially Sasha."You look even more desperate, what's wrong." Sasha leaned closer to the desk separating them and stared deeply into his eyes."I told you before Bryan, no hiding things. If you decide to hide anything, then I'm gonna back out.""I'm not hiding anything. As you said, I'm willing to protect my family no matter what it takes."It was obvious to Sasha that Br
Talia took her gaze away from Nathan when he was coming closer to them. He had Kristen in his arms as he was coming."Hey." Nathan was the first to greet her, but then Talia didn't respond to him. She only kept staring away pretending like she didn't see him."Aunty, don't you see uncle?" Kristen interrupted."Aunty doesn't feel like talking to me buddy," Nathan said, feigning sadness.Kristen outstretched his hand towards Talia, "Aunty, what's wrong? Why won't you talk to, Uncle?" Talia had no other choice than to spare Nathan a glance. "Baby, this is an adult issue, why don't you go play with your siblings so Uncle and I can have a word."Kristen turned his gaze to Nathan, and he immediately put the little guy down. Before the little guy ran away, Nathan brought out his palm for a high five."Thank you, buddy, I owe you one." He said which made Kristen smile, giving Nathan his palm as he nodded his head. "Good job," Nathan said watching him run along to his siblings. Now it was tim
A red car halted, and two men immediately ran to the back seat to open the door. Leo stepped out from the car, and at the other side, Micheal stepped down as well. Leo was wearing a black glass and he was dressed in a black luxurious suit.He began to walk in while Micheal and the other two men followed behind.Leo headed straight for his dad's study room, and once he got in, he knocked on the door twice before opening it and stepping in."Dad." He called.Mr. Mercidi turned to stare at his son, but he was simply shocked at Leo's new look. He had almost mistaken Leo for Levi, and that had never happened before. For a second, he was shocked as well as impressed but he didn't make it too obvious to Leo."Where have you been? I sent for you yesterday, but you never showed up.""I had something urgent to attend to dad, I'm sorry."Leo lowered his head. He couldn't raise suspicion and make his dad think he was planning something so big already. When Mr. Mercidi noticed the strange men stan
Talia was in a bar all alone. She planned to drink tonight and forget all about Nathan as best as she could.Even the bar had memories of him because that's how they first had their one-night stand."Fuck!!" Talia cursed, dropping the mini glass on the counter so hard that it made the bartender shiver as he stared at her. There was so much anger in her eyes and he could see it."Can I get one more?"Talia pouted her lips, hoping that he would give her. She already had enough but didn't want to stop. It was better to keep on drinking even though it wasn't working at all. She couldn't stop thinking about Nathan, but she still wanted more to drink."Maybe you should take it easy on yourself." The bartender said, but Talia was going to ignore him completely. Her life was a mess already, at least that was what she thought. First, it was Andrew, then James, and then Jackson, and now it was Nathan.Her frail heart always falls so madly in love quickly and in the end, she always ends up hurt
"Talia…… Talia. Where the hell are you, Talia." Nathan yelled as he ran into the bar. He had been there about 2 minutes ago and ran outside to go search for her.He walked to the bartender."Where is she?""Who are you talking about?" The man questioned ignorantly. Nathan grunted in annoyance. He was in no mood for plays and jokes because he needed an answer right away."The lady who was here about ten minutes ago.""She left.""Fuck."Nathan was certain that Talia's phone had been tracked here. How could she leave so fast? He brought out his phone from his pocket in a hurry and called a number."Keep tracking the phone. Where is she now?""No! No, I can't find her. Her device went off about 5 minutes ago so it's impossible to keep track of her. Did you find her?"Damn it man, would I be asking you to track her damn cellphone if I found her? Fuck!! I'm so gonna kill anyone who lays a finger on her." Nathan placed his left hand on his forehead. He was about to go insane with worry."Ta
Bryan broke the kiss, cupping her face with his palm. "I won't ever leave you again, Taylor, I swear to you."Taylor giggled in return. "You've told me that countless times, Bryan." She brought her face closer to his and touched his forehead with hers. "And I believe you. I want us to grow old together, love each other, have more kids, and take good care of them together. I'm gonna love you forever Bryan." Taylor said.Bryan held her hands, controlling himself from kissing her in his office again."Shall we?"Taylor smiled and nodded her head. "Thank you for being a gentleman baby." She said and chuckled.Bryan also chuckled and began to walk behind her. He shut the office door and they continued walking away till they got outside, and got into the limo that was waiting.Bryan didn't let go of Taylor's hand. He continued to hold on to it till the car halted right in front of the hotel that he had earlier booked.The door was opened and they both stepped down. Bryan walked to the other
Nathan finally got back home. He had to take the fastest means back home. It was almost 5 am in the morning. He headed straight for his mansion to go look for Sebastian because he had called him earlier to wait at the mansion.When Bryan got to this mansion, Sebastian was waiting outside for him.Nathan didn't really notice anything strange in Sebastian, especially the fact that he had little bruises around his body because he had been hurt a little when he was kidnapped."What's happening?""I have no idea, Sebastian. Where the hell is Leo?""I haven't laid my eyes on him since you left, and so I have no idea what he's been up to.""What about Kiara? I fucking got to find Talia, Sebastian. I can't let them touch even a single strand of her hair. Get ready, we need to start the plan immediately. Once it works, I'll leave immediately with Talia."Nathan turned around to leave, but he halted. He was deeply worried about Sebastian too."Sebastian." He called."If I leave, I'm giving you
