“Welcome to my house again Miss Cameron”“Thank you, sir,” she said with a smile “Eric will show you to your room. Eric?” he signalled for the butler she met the other day. He came to help me with her bags and led her upstairs “This way Miss” Eric said as he led her up the stairs and to the room. She gasped in awe as she stared at the room, it was so enormous with a queen-sized bed with lots of pillows and the softest looking silk bedsheet in the centre of the room, there was a study table with a laptop on it and a chair in a corner, three beautiful lamps, a silver chandelier, silver curtains to cover the two huge windows.“Thank you, Eric”“You’re welcome, miss. Dinner is in two hours”“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind”He left and Angela crashed on the soft bed, the bed sunk with her in it as she closed her eyes while allowing the previous day's event to play in her head.**********“Are you gonna be okay?” Jane asked with a concerned look on her face. She had grown worried for her fr

She took one more look at herself in the mirror, she didn’t feel like herself tonight. It’s been one hell of a week for her and it’s starting to take it’s toll on her. She glumly made her way to the dining table where Tristan was already sitting and she let her mind wander.__________Ivy has re-emerged and has been threatening her mercilessly lately. She first bumped into her one evening when she went to get something. It was raining lightly and Tristan offered to send his driver to take her but she refused.She was all too aware of a black Porsche parked opposite the office. It started moving slowly when she came out of the office. She held her umbrella tightly and hastened her steps and so did the Porsche. Just when she considered running, the back window rolled down and she saw Ivy's beautiful face. She had on a pair of very dark sunglasses as usual “Hello Angela!” she said with an unusually calm tone as she stepped out with an umbrella Angela slowly backed away as Ivy walked t

“You know what day it is right?” Tristan asked on their way to work The day of my doom she thought then she gave him a sweet smile “of course I know. How could I forget?” “Can’t wait. I’ve got a surprise planned out”“What is it?”“If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?”“I guess that’s true” She scrolled through the iPad “There’s a staff meeting in less than an hour from now. And then there are a bunch of other cramped up stuff to do since I had to shift every appointment from four p.m to the time before. Are you sure we can’t just shift the date till another day?” She asked nervously “No, I want it to be today. Why do you want it shifted, do you have other plans?”“N—no, I don’t have other plans”“Good!” She began to chew her lower lip nervously, thinking of how she’ll get herself out of this situation.“Can I ask you a question?” She asked “Sure”“Okay” she paused, took a deep breath before asking “Ivy?”“What about her?”“Do you think you can, I don’t know,

“You're a badass!” Jane said as she opened the door for her. “Oh Jane” she whined as Jane pulled over into an embrace. She patted her back gently in small circular motions.“There there, come inside” she said as she pulled her in gently.Jane made her sit down and went to go get her a steaming cup of tea. She sipped it slowly.“I think I screwed up bad” she moaned “No you didn't. You handled it like a boss. I was just watching in amazement at how bold you were. How did you come up with everything you said”“Bold?” she chuckled bitterly and took a small sip of the tea.“I was as nervous as hell. The weather is cold but I was sweating like a sinner in a church”“You did a good job hiding it then, you sounded so confident. But I'm guessing Tristan isn't aware of that interview”Angela sighed “That's why I'm here. I can't go back and I know he'll be very furious.”“By the way, I've been calling you since, you're not answering”“I might need a new phone. That bratty girl threw my phon

“Tristan? Hi, I’m so glad you called” Ivy exclaimed “Sit down!” He answered coolly and she did. She took off her shades and smiled at him. He stared at the lady he had known all his life. Growing up, he felt that her niceness to him was just normal best friends niceness till he found out from her parents that she had a huge crush on him and they were hoping they would get together and maybe even marry one day. He remembered how he had vehemently opposed the idea, he begged his parents not to force him into an arranged marriage, he threatened to pull away from his father’s company if he was forced into marrying her. His father had been angry, he knew he could not afford to lose his son as a major shareholder so he agreed with him. It caused a huge strain in their relationship but as long as he was happy and single, it didn’t matter to him.Sure Ivy was gorgeous, many guys would fall on their hands and knees just to date her but he didn’t love her enough to be in a relationship with
