Zusammenfassung

The least person Carter expected to be forced to work with, was Christabella. Christabella was a young, smart and beautiful woman whom Carter despised so much because she was everything his father wanted in a child, and everything he wasn’t. Christabella hated Carter with the same vigor, because she saw him as a spoilt and unserious playboy who doesn’t take anything work related seriously, despite his father being the owner of the company they were both working in. The two rivals would be forced to work together at a certain point, despite all tries to prevent that from happening. The rivals didn’t see Cupid coming to seal their fates together, and they’d start to slowly realize just how much they have in common, and how they are so much better off as a team... and as lovers. Sometimes, tragedy waits until everything’s already perfect before striking hard, and in this case, it’s in form of dark secrets and forgotten people from the past, shoving Carter and Christabel in the midst of the whole conflict– whereas their love for each other would be tested vigorously and tossed around heartlessly. How would they overcome a mountain without knowing how to hike, to begin with. This is a story about love, friendship, desires and secrets. Hang in tight as you prepare to lose yourself in the story.

Chapter 1BELLA

"Sigh"

This was what I had been doing for the past thirty-five minutes and I'm certain that If I had released one more deep breath, I might have collapsed as a result of breath shortage or whatever it is called medically. I was way too pissed to care about medical jargon at that moment.

I wasn't the only one showing just how angry and frustrated I was. Everyone present in the boardroom that morning was making several annoying sounds to show how they felt. Some were bold enough to quantify their feelings with harsh words.

Should I have called it boldness? I doubt that, because why should anyone be scared of a foolish wannabe heir? He doesn't deserve an iota of respect, not to talk of Honour. The one person that most of us at this table respect and honour is Aaron, Mr Aaron Dixon, Who was sitting at the head of the table as it should be and will always be. Especially now that his son is nothing short of disappointment.

To make matters worse, Mr Aaron had invited one of the best and well known technological companies to the meeting. He did that with the hope that he would be able to propose a deal to them and partner to develop an innovative idea he came up with.

'I'm extremely sorry for the delay. Mr Carter informed me that he prepared an important presentation for us and for the benefit of both companies. I plead that we should endeavour to give him the grace of five more minutes. If he isn't here after five minutes, we can proceed without him."

Aaron said calmly, composing himself but I didn't miss the glint of sadness and frustration in those kind brown eyes that I have grown to love. I detest Carter for always putting his father in this position. Maybe I don't have the right to detest him for treating his own father like that, but maybe I do possess all the right in the world to smack Carter's arrogance out of his properly exercised body.

The unmissable groan of annoyance and disapproval from the representative of the invited company that followed Aaron's apology for what wasn't his fault fuelled my own anger and I couldn't sit still anymore. I stood from my seat which was beside Aaron's and walked steadily to Him.

"Let me check if I can locate Mr. Carter on the premises Mr Aaron. I will be right back." I whispered into Aaron's ear formally despite knowing that he doesn't cherish that from me.

"Please do and come back soon dear. Your presence is very important."

He flatters me every time he gets the chance to. I'm a nobody that he chose to favor. I acknowledged his words and strode out of the boardroom swiftly in my favourite flat corporate shoe and it's in times like this that I don't regret not wearing heels.

Jeez

Where in the magnanimous building of Lithe Technologies should I start searching for a grown ass man? A man who never ceases to irritate me. I don't understand why Aaron trusted him with such an important presentation and why do we have to wait for him anyways?

I grunted angrily, walking and searching every corner that came to my mind. I searched Carter's office, thinking he was probably hiding somewhere to save his stupid face from embarrassment. A little voice in my head kept telling me he didn't prepare for the physical presentation despite the fact that I already documented the presentation in accordance to Aaron's orders and the only thing he, carter, had to do was study the document I had prepared.

"I wish I can go ahead and commit my first murder , I would gladly go to jail after killing Carter Dixon"

I muttered furiously, dashing here and there like a dog trying to sniff out his owner. Well, that is not the case here because I'm not a dog nor is Carter my owner. I don't think I will ever understand figures of speech.

I glanced at my wristwatch to check if the five minutes Aaron begged for had elapsed or not. I could feel my blood burning up in my body system. I have just three minutes left. Three minutes to search the rest of the building and to get his lazy ass to the boardroom. Absolutely impossible. Also, I haven't done a great job so far.

I continued my search desperately. This meeting has to be held as smoothly as possible. Aaron told me countless times that today's board meeting is extremely important. It mustn't fail. For Aaron's happiness.

But after running around for the next few minutes, I gave up. Covering a lot area within two minutes is possible but only Barry Allen The Flash can do that. I tried but my efforts, time and energy was wasted.

I sighed heavily and I felt my soul departing my body. Guess I was right about collapsing due to a shortage of breath. I breathed frantically, trying so hard to calm my nerves but at that same moment my bladder decided to betray me and I felt the need to go to the bathroom.

Great. The day couldn't get anymore frustrating.
