"Kayish! I..I don't know what to say. I.. I. Just... I just need..." I find my voice was shaking.

"Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!!!!!" The students started to cheer loudly.


I slumped my shoulder and shook my head. "You are impossible, I smiled and hugged him tightly." He is making me happy with his every movement.

"So that means yes, right?" He asked hopefully.

I wiped my tears and nodded my head. "Of course I will marry you."


"Yes!! That's my girl." He slipped the ring to my finger. "Now you are officially mine," He whispered and kissed my forehead.

"Yes, I am!!" Today I was engaged to the love of my life. I could not be happier more than this.

"So what's your explanation for this mess, Miss. Kader?" He asked me in front of everyone in the conference room.

I inhaled deeply to control my temper. If I don't, a great earthquake will explode. So, I shut my mouth and allowed him to humiliate me.

"I am sorry, it won't happen in the future." I tried my best to calm myself. He has a valuable reason for blaming me but why he blames my team, for the mistakes actually they hadn't committed.

But who I am kidding, he would never listen to whatever I am going to say. It is a great opportunity for him and he is using this perfectly by touching my nerve.

Nevin Paul, a senior manager, I don't know what his problem and what the reason for his dislike towards me from the beginning caused everything. Kayish asked him to hand me a file a week ago but he handed me on this morning.

Everyone is gathering here for the presentation but I am not ready yet. How could I be ready when I didn't aware of the presentation?

"Miss. Kader, we are really disappointed with you." they all shook their heads and went outside one by one.

Now I and the monster were left alone in this room. Simply says, 'I'm stuck with this monster in this huge room.'

"Listen!!! I will explain." I said when he took the dangerous step towards me. I wouldn't be afraid if this is the other day, for another reason, but today I am scared to hell.

He is so perfect when it comes to work and he won't hesitate to fire employees. One thing sure, he won't fire me, if he could then I am happier than ever.

But the thing is what if he fires my employees. He has been waiting for the great opportunity and now it is in his hand.

"What are you going to explain? Huhh!" He yelled. "You did this purposely. I knew it. You are the one who dares to do such a stupid thing. You humiliated me in front of my Clients." His eyes were blazing fire towards me.

"Do you have any idea, how hard I put my effect to get this project? But you have dried everything in one second." He shoved me against the wall.

"I didn't. Please trust me. He only handed me the file this morning. I didn't even know about the presentation." I tried to point out.

I feel guilty now. This project was worth a million dollars but they lost it because of me.

"Don't blame him for your fault. He has been working here for over 20 years and he is very loyal to my dad. Don't expect me to believe your bullshit." He roared like a lion.

"I give you one hour to make a decision. Accept your fault and ask Apology to everyone or else consider all your so-called employees are not the part of in this company." He threatened at the end.

"I will." I replied without hesitation. I don't know what he thought but he was taken aback by my answer.

---

"I'm sorry! It's... it's my entire fault. I... I did this purposely. Please forgive me." I hardly said every word. I swallowed my pride to save my employees. If I didn't, how I could be a good manager.

Everyone murmured something I don't know what exactly, and then left the room one by one. I looked at the floor feeling ashamed of myself. A while later, I felt his finger under my chin and he raised my chin to face him but even before he could speak I cut him off.

"Are you enjoying the sight, Mr. Miller? This is what you wanted to see, right? It's all for just two years. Then I will leave this company. What will you do after that? Who will you blame for the mistakes they didn't do?" I felt his body is shaking visibly but I heavily doubt it is because of my remark.

"You are not ready for what I am coming to say, then why the hell should I prove myself guilty? I don't think it will work." I wiped my tears before walking away.

Kayish's POV:

"It's all for just two years. Then I will leave this company." Her words are still playing on my ears like an FM radio. I felt a weird knot on my stomach by thinking of her, leaving me again from my life.

I know I was a stupid jerk back then, but not anymore. I won't give up her that easily.

I want her badly in my life but I have no idea how? She seems moved on her life and has her own daughter with another man.

But for me? Nothing. I have nothing to say as mine except money but it can't give the happiness that I wanted, it made me jealous of her.

The day when I break up with her, I felt relief. I even threw a big party for my success right after I return to New York, the success of hurting her heart and dragging her life into a hole not knowing I'm digging my own grave for myself.
