“What do you mean by what did I just say? Haven't you been listening to me? Do you need to go to the ear doctor–”
“Answer me! Damn it!” He cut her off angrily and couldn't let her keep talking off-topic. He just wanted her to repeat what she said earlier, so it wouldn't be like he misheard.
“Who does that ring belong to?” He asked.
She rolled her eyes mockingly, “Don’t you know who you gave the ring, huh?”
“I am not joking with you here, Carla!” He warned, his eyes were cold and deadly, and never in Carla’s life had she seen Robin that threatening.
She took a step back, her mouth opening and closing because of how scared she was. “It belongs to Cora. You gave it to her, didn't you?”
“I see…” Robin let out, with a light scoff and then a mocking sneer before sitting back on his chair slowly. His head was downturned as he couldn't begin to fathom what went wrong. But he was hurt.
On the other hand, Carla didn't back down, “It’s good that you decided to leave the ring behind. Otherwise, how would I know that you cheated on me?”
“You deserve all the bad things that happened to you during our marriage! And as for that bitch, your mistress! I am going to fucking kill her!”
“I never cheated on you, Carla.” Robin let out, his face blank. “Instead, I cheated on Cora, your best friend, with you.”
“What…?” Carla gasped. “You have the audacity to say that to me? After cheating!?”
Robin wanted to say it to her face, that if he had known, he would never have married her. She would have never been able to smell him from a meter away. She would never have been in the same bed with him for years.
He should have known that the cocky and ambitious Carla wasn't the woman he met that night.
But it was too late now, he didn't think he could turn around the hands of time. At the same time, her best friend Cora, whom he had never met aside that night, might never come back to the country.
At this point, Robin decided to leave. He couldn't continue to look Carla in the face.
As soon as he stood up, Carla stood before him, head-on.
“Where are you going?” She asked. “The security will be here soon to throw you the fuck out! Are you ashamed now?”
“I am not leaving because the security is coming. I am leaving because I can’t stand your twisted and ugly expression.” He sneered.
“Now that I look back, we never really had any form of connection between us. It’s finally the end between us, Carla.” Robin declared. He never wanted to see her face again, as a seething hatred shone from his eyes.
And so, he pushed her to the side and walked past her. Carla watched him leave but his words kept ringing in her ears. Even when they signed the divorce papers, Robin never looked this averse toward her. What changed?
Somehow, she felt so uneasy.
Also, the security was already fast approaching and as soon as they saw Robin, they halted. They didn't dare step closer to him because he looked intimidating and also, they recognized him.
They bowed, letting him leave and this caused the guests as well as Carla to stand back in shock. They all rallied around Carla, asking who Robin was but she had no words.
She was also clueless and now, for the first time, she thought deeply about everything. How Robin carried himself. His help over the years and how he had claimed he got her the contract.
What if it was all true? What if she had thrown away the gem for the dirtstone?
At the same time, Terry walked into the hall, looking as flashy as ever. He had women crowded around him already and when he approached Carla, she suddenly felt disgust toward him.
He paled in great comparison against the elegant and sophisticated Robin. Deep down, she started to regret it.
On the other hand, Robin whipped out his phone as soon as he got back into his car. He made a call to his assistant and in two rings, the call was connected.
“Boss, why did you leave? The event is about to begin.”
“Stop the process,” Robin ordered.
“What do you mean?” The assistant asked.
“Cancel the event and cancel the contract! Tomorrow, prepare a bidding event for the contract! Any other company with the best proposal will be awarded, got it?”
“Yes, boss.”
The call was disconnected and as Robin drove away from the venue, he heard his assistant voice from the loudspeakers stationed around.
“Julls Corp apologizes for any inconvenience. The signing event has been canceled and the contract will no longer be awarded to Kia Fashion.”
“Further information will be communicated soon.”
Robin could imagine the look of embarrassment and shock on Carla’s face. He knew how violent she could get when she didn't get something. Now, he wondered how she was going to beg Terry to help her again.
But this time around, she would never get help. She wasn't the woman Robin wanted in the first place, and also, she wasn't grateful for the opportunities he gave her. So, she didn't deserve anything.

It Was Him
As Robin stepped out of the hotel, Mason was already waiting for him and he was ushered into the car. “I found Carla’s location. She has been cooped up at her office since the early hours of today. She left her mansion, unusually early and I think that is suspicious.” Mason explained. “Did you trace Cora’s whereabouts from the mansion?” Robin asked seriously. “Yes. But it seems Cora just vanished into thin air. The CCTV cameras in the estate that night were all down. It seemed like a pre-planned attack. But it’s so high level.” Just like he had thought, Carla couldn't implement such a kidnapping on this scale. But then, he didn't want to leave a stone unturned. He had to really confirm if she wasn't involved. They proceeded to leave, however, the minute he settled, his phone rang. It was Chairman Black. As soon as the call connected, the old man spoke up hurriedly, “It's almost time for the meeting, aren't you coming?” Robin flipped his wrist to check his time and indeed, it w
Redirection
“What?” Jane gasped, and she took a double-take at Robin’s back. She mirrored it with the disgust she felt from earlier and was finally making sense of the whole thing. But she didn't want to accept it! Would Robin be the boss of the Sky International Hotel? No way! He wasn't even part of the board. “Are you out of your mind, Ethan? What are you saying?” She yelled at her son but he was being held back again by the security. On the other hand, Diego couldn't take the ruckus and turmoil anymore. He rushed to the window and immediately caught Robin’s shoulder to make him face them.He forcefully pulled Robin, however, he didn't even move an inch. Robin had caught Diego’s hand, locked in with a tight grip.“You…” Diego gasped, as he finally saw Robin’s side profile. He tried to take his hand off his shoulder as if he was being burned but Robin’s grip was too strong. “Surprised to see me, Diego?” His sinister voice flowed through and for a moment, Diego shook in his pants. He had neve
Seducing Her Stepson
“Will you be needing anything at all?” Thorn asked, running around to cater to Robin. He couldn't afford to mess up again. Also, he knew the board meeting would be held in the designated building, later that day and he wondered why Robin had arrived so early. “Nothing. Thank you.” Robin smiled, calmly, enough to ease Thorn’s stress. In that moment, Thorn let out a deep breath of relief and wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead. Thankfully, Robin was a calm and respectful man. Right now, Robin stood before the large windows in a dimly lit lounge that had a beautiful view of the hotel gardens and recreation centers scattered around the premises. He silently commended how the board members had grown the hotel into the massive force it was now. However, he needed to beat this. His assigned project must blow them off their feet. As he admired the work of art before him, the door was pushed open and two security officers stepped in while escorting Jane and Diego into the lounge.
True Power 2
“What do you mean he has to access the elevator? Are you trying to buy time until you can escape, huh?” the manager snarled angrily, while clicking his tongue in disdain. He hated scammers the most. He had gotten to, this position just by the way he fished out bad people. His works spoke for him and he was promoted. His direct boss trusted him with issues like this. “I am not trying to buy time. I didn't do anything wrong after all.” Robin shrugged. “All I want is for him to access the elevator and prove to us he is supposed to be here.”Ethan pursed his lips, realizing it wasn't a big deal. He had accessed the elevator that morning and he could do it again. However, the manager wasn't in tune with it at all, “You have no right to order a guest here–”“Don’t worry, I will do it.” Ethan stepped forward. “This is just to prove that this man here is a scammer. He has no right to be here and should be thrown out.”“I am a good person and I cannot stand for the wrong thing.” He puffed u
True Power
“Bah!” The staff member slammed his hands on his thighs, as if he were expecting Ethan to say that. “I knew it! Men like him who are not in tune with reality think they can pass off as rich!”“I guess he has seen just how much wealth can give and he wants to taste it.” Ethan joined in, however, his eyes flickered to Robin scornfully. He tilted his head to the side, silently anticipating what Robin was going to do next. “What would you like us to do to him? I will immediately inform the hotel’s manager.” The staff chimed in, waiting on Ethan’s order like he was god. All the while, Robin stood back, silently staring at Ethan and the staff as they discussed his appropriate punishment. The other staff members had dispersed to get the hotel manager. But Robin had no such patience to wait around. “What if I can access this elevator?” He asked. “No, you can’t!” The staff barked. “You measly cleaner, still trying to act like you are some big shot? Are you out of your mind?”“I bet you ca
A Cleaner In Eastbourne
Robin stared at the TV screen for long minutes, deeply regretting he had let her go last night. He was sure she had gone to Carla’s mansion after she stepped out of the Sky International Hotel. “Can you confirm her whereabouts? Use every single resource you can get! Find her!” He shot up to his feet and his swivel chair skidded backward. “Where are you going?” Mason asked hurriedly. “I need to confirm if the Davenson family has her myself.” He said seriously. From the reports he got from Mason that morning, Diego and Jane had not left the hotel since the event ended last night. They were probably too scared to go back to Eastbourne, after all, the news of their destruction which would be starting soon would be waiting for them. “I don’t think that is a wise decision.” Mason opposed. “The Davensons are in a bad place right and I don't think they would want to do something like this.”“But we never can tell.” Robin sneered and he took his suit jacket to put on. “Those people could
