NAOMI2 years later ::"Can you please pass me the file, Naomi." I glanced up from my laptop before looking at Steve."Oh, sure!" I said before passing him the file from my table."Thanks!" He winked as I smiled before resuming my work.Steve and Chase are my colleagues, plus they work in a little upper position than me. They are more like a friend to me. They support when required and help me when in need. First, when I joined the company, I didn't know how the work process is here, but they helped me out.Chase was a happily married man with two kids. I've met them once, the older son, Jasper, and his younger daughter Julie. They both are adorable along with his sweet wife, whereas Steve is single.I felt eyes on me as I glanced at Steve, who was gazing at me with a smile."Anything you want?" I raised a brow."Believe me, Naomi, he wants.. ow.. -" Chase was cut off as Steve elbowed him on the stomach."Nothing!" Steve smiled.I shrugged and stood up from my chair when Steve again s

NAOMII quickly rushed towards the elevator and hopped in before sighing heavily.Oh god!!! I'm late.I hope Steve and Chase have covered me because I can not face our chief's wrath. Our chief hates latecomers. Yesterday was a tiring but a joyful day. Yesterday, exhaustion was too much that my eyelids didn't open up today on time.The elevator dinged as I quietly made my way out. I was about to enter my department when I heard someone laughing out loud. In precise, it was Steve.Where is he, and why is he laughing?Out of curiosity, I tiptoed towards the source of sound. The noise was coming from the conference room, I peeked inside the door to find Steve along with Chase, sitting inside with a laptop facing them."Oh, come on, you playboy." I heard a female voice grunting to which both Steve and Chase laughed aloud."Hey, Ashley. I've changed, don't call me that." Steve said.Ashley!I know about her. She's one of the closest best friend of Steve and Chase. She used to work with them

HAROLDI marched towards my home office with steady pace. I've been waiting for him impatiently and today he's here.I took a deep breath as I reached the door of my study room.He was sitting on the couch, poised. As his eyes fell on me, he stood up before greeting. "Good afternoon, Mr Kingston."I nodded, "How is she?" I asked in haste."According to your spy, she is fine." He stated as a small smile curled up my lips.When Naomi left, I was worried sick about her whereabouts and her safety. Some sources of mine informed me that she was in Florida, staying at her parents' house. Since then I've appointed some guards and a spy to keep a check on her.... Just for her safety."Where is the..-" before I could continue my sentence, Mr Allison took the envelope from his bag before passing it to me.Swiftly I opened the envelope and took all the photos out.In the first photo Naomi and Hayden were standing infront of the ice-cream stall, Naomi's face was seen as she was turned around with

NAOMIWe were inside the car, and all I could hear was Hayden and Hazel giggling and laughing on Harold's lap while Harold was chuckling, looking happier than ever while talking with Hayden and Hazel. I couldn't comprehend what they were talking about because my mind was in total chaos.My plan was simple.I just had to visit Nadia's grave and go back to Miami without anyone seeing me.But my plan failed.I just can't believe that I agreed to get in his car, and now I'm halfway to our house.I mean, to his house...It was our house but now, not anymore.When I looked him in the eyes and when he whispered a please in a pleading way... I just couldn't... I just couldn't resist myself. I've hurt him way too much, and seeing him hurt again will only hurt me.I sighed, feeling the tension rising up again.All I have to do is get inside the house and leave at night.It's just a matter of some hours.And a huge part of me is happy... extremely happy as I got to see Hazel. She looked just lik

NAOMIThe dinner ended well as I moved towards the kitchen to help Daria, if required. I wanted to leave, but Harold was busy with the kids, so I just thought of making myself a little useful before I left.Daria was packing the remaining food into a container, and her gaze was focused on what she was doing."Do you need any help?" I asked with a smile.As her eyes landed on me, an angry grimace took over her face as she glared straight at me. "No!!" She snapped and resumed her work."You're still angry, I see!" The words came out of my mouth before I could stop them.She paused whatever she was doing and glared at me with reddened eyes. "Yes, I am!!" She gritted. "Your face just reminds me of the king's agony filled life.... that you caused him." She lamented as I fixed my eyes on the counter in guilt."I'm..-" I was cut off harshly by her."Didn't you vow to him that you'd bring solace to him during hard times... didn't you??" She screeched, and I was standing in front of her, guilt
