Luc’s POV:I blare the horn at the truck in front of me. Everything seems worse from morning. My sleep was disturbed with the old memories and I woke up late. I had already sent James to office with all necessary documents. I have to be in my office in another 30 minutes for a cross continental meeting with my Japan office. We recently acquired a heavy industry and some issues prevailed still on the merger. We are one of the top manufactures in Air Crafts and recently stepped into Helicopters. This was Jack’s idea.Thinking of Jack make me zone out again and I come back with a start hearing someone honking at back. The truck is nowhere seen now and I curse myself getting distracted. That’s when I see her smiling and waving at me. The same female from the restaurant yesterday. She is wearing an oversize sweatshirt and stone washed denim. The sweat shirt is literally over-sized. She

Cole aka Nicolas joined us in Grade 8. We were inseparable from school.I recently completed my degree in business administration on Manufacturing and Logistics. I joined under my dad in his “Worth Manufactures”. I cannot help but smile whenever I think about my dad. The company is his life apart from my family.

It is a big shock to see the situation of the company, because my Dad usually make it to look as if the company is running without any issues. Even my idiot brother never opene

Lia’s POV:The sound of my mobile penetrates in my ears. I try to snooze but my mobile acts as if it has its own idea to pester me. I try to open my eyes only to find that I am getting a call and it is not an alarm. I groan at myself. Who in the Earth is calling at this early hour? Seeing it is Max from my office, I am awake. Max is the chief design architect in our company. He is a complete brainer and recently have come up with some interesting designs for the future technology.“Morning Max. What is the emergency to call me at this morning?” I mumble between my yawns.“Good morning Lia. We have a meeting with my boys on the new gear box designs remember? We need to finalize this by this week.”“Oh Crap. I totally forgot that. My car broke down yesterday and I don’t have a transport. I cannot hitch a ride w

Lia’s POV:“Honey, we are home.” Max calls Als as we enter the living room. Max and Als live a two bedroom apartment in central park. I love their home and spend time with them as much as possible. So Als made the guest bedroom as mine and I have my spare clothes here in case if have to crash on any night. I am so thankful to get such friends. Oh God! Thinking alike for second time today. I am so going to jinx me.I see max have settled comfortably in the couch. When I decide to move to kitchen to help, I see Als standing at the kitchen door with both hands on her hips. Her eyes narrows at Max.“How many times do I have to tell you to keep the keys and coat on its place mister?” Als asks in a dry tone.“Great. I got an OCD girlfriend.” He mutters but immediately get up to pick up the keys from coffee table an

Lia’s POVI try and fail not to tap my foot as I am not alone in the lift. The old couple look back at me and mutter something shaking their head. I cannot able to catch it but heard words like ‘Young People’ and ‘No Patience’. God! It is taking for ever to reach the floor.Finally after what seem to be like hours, I enter the floor. There is no difficulty in finding the Suite as it is the only room in the entire floor. I take a deep breath and press the calling button before I chicken out. And I do not expect the person when the door open.Whoa! If this is the Lucian Alastair, then the films and magazines have not done any justice at all. I see a fine specimen of almost 6 feet. His hair is black and sticking up in an attractive way, so are his dark eyes. God! Girls will die to get such eye lashes. And do I miss out the perfect jaw line and the

Lia’s POVI tense hearing the doorbell. And immediately feel a hand over mine which calms me down. I turn to see Alyssa looking at me with concern filled eyes. I see Max moving to check the door and the smell of pizza make me realize that the food have arrived.I cannot help recalling the evening and fresh set of tears started flowing down my cheeks. Alyssa embraces me and whispers at me to calm down. But the words give only a reverse effect. I shudder at the thoughts. What if he had not received a call? I know his demeanour changed only after the call. What if he had not attended the call? What if he had not cool down? And so many what ifs haunts me.I am not able to recall on what happened once he opened the door. I saw some flash and Alastair was blocking me from those lights. I also heard someone shouting and running towards us. At the same time, Alastair relaxed a

James indicates that we have reached the destination.“I will wait for you here.” James make a move to comfortably settle in an upholstery near window.“Oh no buddy. The invite is for both of us.” I smirk back at him and let out a chuckle when James suddenly looks as if he have swallowed a lemon.“But why should I be invited for a tea with your Mom?”“Since when they have treated you as an outsider?” I raise an eyebrow at him.James smiles softly expressing his love towards my family. But now my mom has not invited for a lovely family union. The invite for today’s morning tea is mainly due to today’s news on me.I already have got a big round advic

Lia's POVI enter a huge lobby. Despite my nervousness I cannot help admiring the infrastructure. I do not remember how long I am admiring the area when I feel a tap on my shoulder.“May I help you ma’am? You have not responded when I called you” The security person asks p

Lia's POVI enter the lift and let out the breath I am holding unknowingly. I know it is a big mistake to let out such a statement. But who does he think himself of? That arrogant, self-centered, egoistic, handsome, eye catching... What? Get a grip Lia. Don’t say that you too have fell for him. You are not one of his lapdogs.
