My Loving You Chapter 2 Episode 2: We Meet Again

Start of a new week and I would be doing a presentation on my strategies to drive our upcoming product at the general meeting.

I came in extra early to perfect my presentation not that there was much to do but nerves sure wasn't helping. Too soon it was time to start the meeting.

Fifteen minutes into my presentation, the door I was told connects to the CEO's office was opened and I paused to greet the boss. Only for me to turn around and see Mr. Iceman.

What? He was the boss? Adel what have you gotten yourself into? I was soo fucking rude. But who can blame me, the man was no Mr. Nice. Now that we meet this way, would he give me a tough time or would he fire m....

"Let's get on with it I have a flight to catch" he interrupted my musings.

I cleared my throat and went back to the points. After I was done, I asked for questions and waited for Mr. Iceman's review.

"Concentrating on the target audience is great but you need to know the products more" he remarked.

"Okay Sir" I said. I guess I have to get back to the drawing board. He wasn't so bad after all.

"You need to learn fast on your feet, Debbie would be leaving soon and I need someone capable to take over from her. If you are not sure of your capabilities, let us know now so we get one of the branch managers to take over for a while".

"I think I was too quick with my relief. It's not like I can't do my work. What's the need for his coldness? Mtchewww' of course all of these were in my head. It's not like I want to kill my career so soon.

"My team and I will work harder and drive this project above our expectations" I said as I sat down for the rest of the department heads to do their presentations.

Bryan's POV

From the beginning of her presentation I watched her on the screen of my Mac. Only close staff know that every boardroom in all my companies have hidden cameras that record sessions so that I can make informed decisions even when I'm not present at the meeting.

Looking at how calm and confident she looked only someone looking intently at her like I am will notice her inability to stay in one place. Though she makes it look like she's gliding, I could tell she was nervous.

I never said I was a great person. To throw her off her game I walked into the meeting. It sure is gonna be a great morning show, I smirked to myself.

"Let's get on with it I have a flight to catch" I said as I took my seat. Listening to her, I made points. She was smart, very smart. A little polish and she could head whole campaigns.

After her presentation I made my comments and I could see from her face that she was trying to hold herself together.

I smirked internally knowing how she would have given it to me if it wasn't the fact that I was her boss. Smirk.

Listening to her response after my comment on her capabilities, I was impressed. She was a team player and that is one of the qualities I look for in my managers.

The other departments did their presentation and the meeting came to a close. As everyone filed out I called her back.

"Derek organize for her to go to country C this weekend to meet with Ethan" I instructed indicating for him to get on it right away before turning to speak to her.

"Miss Arthur, you will be going to country C to meet with our project manager who is currently heading the production of our new project. Do well to study it. It will help you with your strategies. Is there any question?"

"No Sir. Will that be all?" she asked as politely as she could. I smirked knowing exactly what was going through her head.

"No that will be all. Derek will contact you with your travel details." I got up and left.

This was a family trip so I was going alone. Would be back for work the next day so left instructions and headed home to visit my father who was admitted at the hospital for another heart attack.

Adel's POV

Listening to him make arrangements for my weekend without consulting me just proved how much of a jerk he is.

I have never been this pissed since school days and that was even in my first year of uni. I went directly to my office to immerse myself in work.

Upon getting home I called Charles because if I didn't talk to someone soon I would burst.

"You will not believe what happened today. Gosh he is such a jerk" I launched as soon as he picked up.

"And good evening to you too. Who is the jerk and what happened today Angel?"

I could hear the laughter in his voice as he spoke, I'm sure he thinks I'm being a big baby as usual. I pouted even though he couldn't see me and narrated everything to him starting with my first meeting with Mr. Iceman to today.

I refuse to call him Mr. Jackson, being a CEO doesn't change the fact that he is an iceman. Charles listened intently and said nothing throughout my narration.

After I finished he asked what I intended to do.

"Of course I would go. I love traveling and I get to do it on Mr. Iceman's account even if it's for work" I stated laughing.

"I guess it's settled then. Have something to eat and go to bed early, today has been a tough day for daddy's girl and I'm sure you are over tired".

"Thank you Charlie, I knew talking to you would calm me down".

He laughed saying that it's not as if he said anything. But that was the thing. Talking to him was comforting because he listened to you.

"Okay. Goodnight." I ended the call, made something light to eat and went to bed after a quick shower.

The week went by quiet nicely and Friday was soon upon me. Putting my luggage into my booth, I called daddy to remind him I wasn't going to be around this weekend. After that I drove to the office.

Derek told me to go directly to the first class lounge at the airport as everything has been arranged and I will be met there. After close of work I picked a cab to go leaving my car at the underground parking lot at the office.

I sat on one of the seats at the lounge to wait for my ticket. To while away time I picked my phone going to the MoboReader app to read some novels.

I felt a shadow over me so I lifted my head to see if it was my arrangement to country C.

Shock is an understatement.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
