A woman trapped between struggles and optimism who was working toward her dream unintentionally found love. One night, a man who stole her heart appeared to her like a knight in shining armor. A love so beautiful, it promises friendship. Betrayal causes sadness and pain. A new journey to take, facing the world, to move on. "Where do I go from here?" she asked herself. Alone, she faced challenges to being able to maintain the life she left behind back home. When everything is calm and quiet, she notices a man showing up from nowhere. That catches her eyes. However, would there be a chance for them to get together? Is he dating her new acquaintance that she met? She needed to let go of her feelings for him, she insisted, but her heart talks louder than her thoughts. A new beginning of a love story that will chase her for the rest of her life. Distance and separations are just heartbreaking; temptation she needs to avoid to save the relationship she is taking care of; dreams that keep on meddling in both of their lives. Will there be an end to this waiting game? Can they finally be together at the end? It's a you and me against the world life they are living in. The world is so cruel, but the love you kept in your heart will be the proof that anything is possible when you both know there's this string of love that connects you wherever you are.

I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN, CAPTAIN! Chapter 1 VALENTINE'S DAY

It was the year 1997, Happy Hearts Day to most and Valentine's Day to all lovers, when the song "As Long as you Love Me" by the well-known boy band of the 90's came out. The most played songs at the time were playing on the radio. Annika's favorite song is one she loves to sing and dance to while putting on her cosmetics to get ready for work. She wears her pink lipstick as she feels cute and flirtatious wearing it. Annika makes sure she has her mascara on because it enhances and accentuates her beautiful eyes. Her long wavy hair gives off a sensual vibe, emphasizing her prominent shoulders.

Should I put on this olive-green dress today? Or perhaps I mix my black jeans with an orange blouse along with a pair of boots? " As she spoke to herself. She is excited to get ready for work as it is Friday, and Bruce, an American customer with whom she had a big crush, will come to dine at the Mediterranean Restaurant where she works as a receptionist.

Bruce, a Motorola the big boss will be coming that night with all his close colleagues, John and Blake, plus some other friends. Annika was born and raised in the heart of Manila. She is a dreamer and wanted to help her parents race her small siblings. Despite all the hardships in life, Annika is always happy, full of energy, she is the life of the party, loved by her family, friends, and colleagues, and she is a gift to anyone who knows her. "I'm going to wear this orange top and black jeans with my black boots today," she thought. The weather is beautiful; the sun is up, and there's a cool breeze in the air. "Oh! how beautiful this day would be!" was in her mind as she left home on her way to the bus station. "Annika is anxious to come to work today, as it is Valentine's Day and she will be greeting all the guests tonight in her beautiful red gown that her boss bought for her to wear. She will have all the red roses in the reception that she will hand over to their female guests that night, mostly couples, lovers, and partners, and tonight is a very special night as Bruce will be her very special guest. She is hoping that somehow, Bruce may notice how pretty she looks in her red gown and gold pumps. She wore red lipstick to complement her gown and had her hair up on one side only with a very small gold hairpin with some sparking stones. All the guests started to come around 8 in the evening. They were all dressed nicely. Women mostly wear elegant, nice dresses, and so do men. Annika was delighted to greet them, check their reservations, and walk them to their assigned tables, hand them the menu for their special dinner, and call the waiter and introduce them to their guest to inform them that the waiter could take their orders. The night runs busy for Annika. And around past 10 pm, at last, the man she adores so much, Bruce, came in with his colleagues from Motorola. Bruce and Annika met before Annika started to work at the Mediterranean Restaurant La Gondola. She used to work as a bar waitress at the club Industria, one of the top clubs for elites to enjoy fermented beers, other alcoholic beverages, and music. One On Monday night, Bruce came in around 7 pm when the club didn't have any other customers yet. It was Annika who welcomed him. Is there some kind of poisoning here? How come no one here tonight? " Bruce asked. Annika laughed and thought how much she loved the humor of this guy. "Where are you from?" This is the first time I've seen you here. Are you waiting for more friends to come over tonight? " Annika asked with a smile. "I can keep your company while waiting for your friends." Bruce thought it was a very nice gesture for a young lady to approach him. Annika was never a shy type and she could converse in English in such an easy manner. Annika learned that Bruce came from America. He was an ex-pat in the Philippines

leading a team for the Motorola Company. Bruce was dressed in a black shirt with the words "I am an Irish. "Annika asked him, "Why does your shirt say "I'm Irish when you are an American?" Bruce liked the way Annika had so many questions and was not afraid to ask questions and start a conversation. "I love your company." Bruce says, "I think I will enjoy coming to this club every night after work. Will you be here every night?" Bruce asked Annika. And Annika answered, "Well, I won't miss a night working if you will come here." Later that night, after an hour of waiting for his colleagues, John and Blake, came in and joined Bruce with some beers and laughs.

Bruce introduced Annika to John and Blake, all of whom are American ex-pats from the United States of America who work here for Motorola. Night after night, Bruce became Annika's regular customer. They became friends, so close that Annika started to have a big crush on him. Bruce is such a good-looking guy. He stands not so tall, around 5 feet 10 inches in height. He has this US Army look with muscles and a nice torso. He looks great even in a simple t-shirt. He gave you the sweetest smile you can see, with gray eyes and that look of a freshly shaved beard. Annika loves how fresh he smells every time. And most of all, Bruce's got this big sense of humor. He can make Annika laugh. Annika's night at work becomes enjoyable as long as Bruce is around. One night, for some reason, the DJ played the song "As Long as you Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys. Annika finds the song so interesting that she sings it with Bruce in her mind.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
