the truth do more damage than good? Did she really care what happened next? These questions she must answer before she made her ultimate move.
     
    None of the answers came easily. This was the company she grew up seeing her father nurture. It was the same company that cost him his life. Would it matter if it failed or succeeded? In addition, she found herself being all the more concerned for Koltan. She was n’ t sure if this concern was out of guilt or not, and she also wondered what would happen to him if or when she exposed his father. Would he forgive her?
     
    “ What the hel l’ s the matter with you Vicky ?” she voiced, vehemently into the empty office.
     
    It only then occurred to her that through all this mess, she was only convincing herself that he did n’ t matter, because deep down somewhere a small voice was telling her that he did.

    He knew she did n’ t love him, but hearing her say it hurt very much. One of the things he liked most about her was her honesty. However, hearing her tell his father that she did n’ t love him sent a pain shooting through his chest. More than that, his father proved to him that day that he was of little value. All the old man cared about was his company and making a profit.
     
    Koltan was in Florida on business. He thought the time away would give him room to put things into perspective. When his business meetings were over he took a couple of days to make a very important visit. He would take this time to think about his future; whether or not that future was with the company or pursuing another drea m… whatever that was.
     
    In the time away from Victoria, he realized how much h e’ d fallen for her. She had feelings for him too, she just did n’ t know it yet. What he felt with her certainly could not be one sided. She was fighting it and he was yet to discover why. Maybe this time apart would make her come to terms with those feelings, whether it was love, attraction or plain old lust.  It did n’ t matter to him what those feelings were, he still wanted to be with her. He was willing to wait for her, no matter how long it took.
     
    He also pondered what he discovered about his fathe r’ s health. Now he knew why the man resigned in secret. If his health issues got out before he told the board, it could affect the company in a bad way. He had to admit that Harmon Grey made a wise decision when her handed over his duties and stepped aside quietly.
     
    The only issue now was that, he did n’ t trust his own son to take care of things nor did he trust him enough to make hi aware of his health issues. There was no love lost between father and son, but over the years Koltan did try to make the relationship work. It was Harmon who kept the rift between them with his dictator attitude and total disregard for what he, Koltan wanted or needed.

    It was an involuntary move on her part. She had grown accustomed to them having coffee at around ten o’ clock each morning. This particular Tuesday morning she was feeling a bit out of sorts and badly needed her morning caffeine fix. She particularly liked the special beans Koltan imported directly from the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, rated as the ninth best coffee in the world. He had that special bean in his office only.
     
    After a couple of knocks and no answer she pushed the door. Seeing his empty chair and his desk void of any files, she remembered that he was in Florida on business. For a moment as she stood in his office she detected the faint smell of his aftershave. She walked over to his desk and absently ran her fingers along the edge.  A flash of memory bolted through her mind, of the night they had sex on the desk. No Victoria, remember not get affected. Irritably she walked away from the desk, but not before a spot of heaviness settled in her stomach. Losing her appetite for the coffee she returned to her office.
     
    The rest of the day was spent trying to focus on work,
