Chapter 2

"Multi-millionaire Will Attah announces his engagement with daughter of LA tycoon, Sasha Thompson."

"It's about time." a voice murmured.

Switching off his phone, the body in grey slacks got up from the couch, walking to the slender figure draped in a red bathrobe, staring out the penthouse balcony view, occasionally taking a sip out of her wine. Placing his arms around her waist, he nuzzled his face in her neck.

"Jealous?" his warm breath enquired, his coarse voice muffled by her neck, causing Goosebumps to appear over her neck.

Twisting around in his tight grip until she was facing his face, she caressed his face with him burying his face into her smooth warm palms.

"Hon, you know there's only one person I love most with all my heart." A smile spread across the man's face, his dimples even made a show, "And you come a close 2nd, 5th if we count pets."

The previous smile shattered; his dimples disappeared. It was replaced with an evil side grin, before he swooped her up, twirling her around, her arms, by impulse, circled round his neck as he carried her into the hall.

"Is that so?" his arched eyebrow probed.

He was answered with a sly smile. Dropping her on the couch, he turned around and said

"Enjoy sleeping on the couch tonight." He said with a sly smile, dropping her on the couch then running into the bedroom before the flying cushion could touch him. Leaving behind the pouting culprit.

In L.A…...

At the headquarters of Royal Corporation….

"Enter!" Will bellowed.

He gave a glance as the man entering before looking back at the documents in his hands.

"It would appear that the expose about your engagement came from Mr Robinson, Ms Sasha's brother." Shawn explained

"What of the other problem?" Will inquired, placing his read glasses on his desk.

"Oh, we still have no signs of Ms Aithne and no new lead of the person behind the car accent."

"Do I pay you for incompetence?"

Will got up from his chair and went towards the mini bar on the side. He poured himself a glass, took a sip and then throw his drink across the room, all while Shawn kept a straight.

"HOW HARD IS IT TO FIND A USELESS PIECE OF – "

A knock on the door interrupted his outburst. He motioned for Shawn to deal with it as he made his way calmly into his seat.

"Sir, Ms Sasha is in the reception." Shawn reported.

"Tell her I'm in a meeting"

"And why would he do that!" a shrilled arose.

At the hem of the door stood a short, hour glassed woman with heavy makeup on and two shopping bags in her hand.

"Why would he say that if you are right here in front of me?" Sasha gritted.

She stomped into the office, throwing her bags onto the sofa and stopping when she arrived at the end of Will's desk. Shawn left the room with a smirk that had crawled on to his face.

"Do you have anything to explain?" Sasha's teeth gnashed together as sound came out of her mouth.

"No."

A short and simple answer yet complicated in its own way.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?" Sasha screamed, pushing the documents on his desk to the marbled floor.

"I haven't got the time for your childness." Will smeared with his arms crossed.

"OH, I'M SORRY THAT YOU MISSED PREGNACY SCAN AND I HAVE TO GO ALL BY MYSELF." Sasha choked; waterworks were at its finest.

"I had an important meeting."

"MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR DAUGHTER. OH RIGHT, GREAT NEWS IT'S A GIRL. BUT ITS NOT LIKE YOU GIVE A DAMN. ALL YOU CARE ABOUT ITS YOUR WORK OR FINDING AITHNE."

Will eyes sharpened at the last part.

"Oh, you didn't think I know. Love, you are as transparent as a James Charles butt at 2019's Coachella" Sasha smirked while her eyes showed a mixture of angry, jealousy and sadness.

"You know what, you seem busy, I'm going to leave. Oh, and you wouldn't be seing me at home- your house for a while."

Sasha grabbed her bags and left the room, not forgetting to slam the door.

Stepping out of the airport, a warm breeze quickly welcomed Aithne back home by surrounding and engulfing her. She felt a rush when her ringtone suddenly went off. Already knowing who it was, a smiled found its way on to her face.

"Yes dear." She cooed.

"I'm guessing you have arrived." The melodious voice from the other rang.

"Yes, and I have already seen Dimitris."

"And how's my little angel." The voice said.

"If your talking about me, then I'm a little tired. If you mean the little devil then she's already asleep on Brian's back." The smile on her face widen at the mention of her devil.

"Well tell my ANGEL that daddy loves her."

This was responded with a sound.

"What about mummy? Is mummy getting some love too?" she teased.

"Well you're about 7th or 10th on my list, if you include animals." He mused.

They sung their goodbyes and love you before hanging up. Entering the car, her once sweet smile turned into a devilish smile as she mummed:

"I'm back."
