Cora stood there, her mouth open in shock. She never expected Robin would say such things to Carla. She also felt embarrassed and disrespected, her eyes darted around trying to find the right placement in her head for his actions.

“Why would…why would you say that to Carla? She doesn't deserve—”

“She does!” Robin cut her off, angrily. “Until when will you realize that she is using you? You almost got into a marriage with Ethan because she pushed you to terminate a contract she wants!”

“But…” She stuttered. “It's for her company. She has been having a little trouble...”

“Then what about yours? Does your company not have money issues? Why do you have to neglect yourself to cater to a woman who has no ounce of care or pity for you?” He countered her statement smoothly, silently hoping she would understand him.

But then, she didn't.

“I don’t think you know what you are saying. Carla cares about me…” She whispered but her tone didn't sound convincing enough. A seed of doubt had been plan

  • I Am Not A Pushover

    The board meeting had been going on for over an hour now and when Robin reached the meeting venue, a few attendants rushed out to meet him but he dismissed them all immediately. He reached the door of the meeting room and he immediately pushed it open. Every activity in the room stopped and they all turned to look at him.James scrunched his face up in displeasure. Even Michael and Jackson didn't seem to like his attitude that much and they shifted in their seats uncomfortably. While Chairman Blackman just looked away nonchalantly. “Robin Davenson, is this the kind of attitude you want to bring to the board?” James began. “You couldn't even attend a meeting on time!”“How sure are we that we can trust you with the new project?!” Robin pursed his lips, hating the way they reprimanded him. They had their faults too and none of them were willing to own up to it. “As far as the project is concerned, you don't need to worry. I have sent detailed documents to your personal emails, you

  • I Love You, Robin

    “Out of the way everyone!” Carla barked orders at them and the girls as well as the burly guys who were there to teach Robin a lesson quickly backed away. They quickly realized their boss had gotten angry and thought that she was about to deal the final blow to Robin. He was there, his back against the receptionist's stand and his arms folded, calmly reeling in the sheer stupidity of this staff. He had to stay quiet when he realized Carla was coming and the men who had tried to intimidate him didn't dare touch him when they felt his pressurizing gaze on them. Carla walked closer to him, her smile smooth. She moved in a little closer, surprising her workers and then she moved to embrace him. However, Robin stepped to the side with a displeased face. He scrunched up his face like Carla stunk which made her hands freeze in the air. “Robin…” She gritted her teeth, unable to turn back to look at her workers who now had bewildered looks. They wondered what was going on here. “Everyone

  • Don’t Fire Me

    Those words from the receptionist rang in Robin’s ears uncomfortably. What sort of blatant accusation was that? He didn't even touch the hem of her garment not to talk of touching her body. “Excuse me, you shouldn't say what is not right. You can't accuse me of something I didn't do.” He stepped forward with a warning glare. However, the receptionist only ran behind the assistant and started to shiver. She formed a frail look and held on to the assistant’s shirt tightly. “Don’t let him close to me, please.” She whispered, my eyes had turned red already with tears pooling in them. “You don’t believe her, right?” Robin’s gaze flickered to the assistant. On the other hand, the assistant sized him up, seeing that he was dressed exceptionally well. He looked like a respected young man who was at the top. Though he couldn't recognize Robin’s face, it didn't matter because so many men like him would come in, just for one thing. To get a girl. “I am sorry, she is my staff and I would h

  • 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.
