“Happy anniversary, my dearest heart”I groaned as I rolled over the bed and turned to gaze at Victor who was smiling at me.“Anniversary? Whose?” I asked him as I turned to take him in, he had sat with his back resting against the bed post as he grinned at me.“Ours of course, Darling. It's our one-year anniversary today” he told me as he shrugged off the duvet and stood barefoot beside the bed.I let my eyes run through his naked frame as I lick my lips. I can't believe I wanted him again even after our marathon sex last night.“Are you even listening to me?”I forced my eyes away from his erection to smile shyly at him “Can you blame me? This big guy here is more fascinating than you” I told him with a broad grin on my face as I pointed to his erection.He smirks and turns to wiggle his butt at me as he moves toward the bathroom causing me to laugh out loud “Woah! That's one fine, hard butt” I exclaimed stifling the laughter as I admire his naked buttHe stopped at the door and tur

I searched around the hall with a frown on my face. There was only one person I wanted to see tonight but he isn't here. I'm so nervous. I missed him. He hasn't been coming over like always since Rhea is on holiday. I wish I could see him everyday.“Victor is busy in the dressing room. He said something about his speech” Mrs. Thompson was saying as she hid a smile on her face.“But, I___ didn't______” I stopped the protest as soon as I saw the smile on her face. I guess I wasn't that discreet. Everyone could see the love on my face.“Is it that obvious?” I whisper at Gia biting my lips as she settles herself on the seat and turns to greet Victor's brothers and family.“Yes, so very obvious” Nina replied with a wink. I smile shyly at her.“I’m so glad you've decided to give Victor a chance” Skylar, Vino's wife, was saying as she smiled at me. I nodded shyly at her. I couldn't believe she was the one who painted that picture in Mrs. Thompson's private salon.“We are very excited. I'm su

“Woah! You're so beautiful” Gia cussed loudly as she came over to me where I was walking down the stairs.“Are you sure?” I asked her, suddenly feeling self conscious of the gold dress which cling to my body like a second skin.The dress was a designer dress made by a French designer whose name was hard to pronounce.“Woah! Victor will be speechless tonight. I wish he could pick you up” Gia was saying as I stepped down the last step and turned to take her in. She was dressed in a short golden ball gown. She looks beautiful as her hair was pulled in a chignon and pinned with a gold brooch.“You look beautiful too” I complimented her as I turned to search for my daughter.“Where’s Rhea?” I asked her, suddenly registering my daughter's absence in the room.“She’s in the car with Lavelle. Come let’s go else we might be late for the party” Gia was saying to me as she rushed off to the door.I nodded and followed behind her pausing to lock up my house. I stopped to take in the small mansion

Five Years Later“Maama. Are we going to see grandmama today?”I turned to smile at my little daughter, I was so proud of her. She was a big girl and worthy of loving. I was partly glad that I didn't take the Thompson's advice and aborted her.“Sure. If that is what my princess wants?” I asked her, she nodded, bopping her head with an excited smile on her face.“Which of the grandmamas?” I asked her, suddenly remembering there were now two grandmothers for her. I smile knowing that my daughter will have a better future than I did.“Both” She exclaimed excitedly bouncing up and down the sidewalk as I held her hands. I took a turn and came to a stop in front of my dance studio.I gaze lovingly at Dance with Love, proud of how far I have come. Though I didn't achieve this on my own, it was worth knowing my dreams had come true.“But Angel” I called to her with a frown as I got into the studio. I smile in greeting to Thea, my receptionist before turning to my daughter “We can't see both o

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Michael was saying as I stood in front of the mirror adjusting my tuxedo and tie.“Yes. Much more than you can imagine'' I replied without looking at him as I fixed my cufflinks.“I thought you loved Valerie. I thought you wanted to fight for her. How will you do that if you're getting married to Tianna?” Michael continued as he paced the room, trying to find answers to his questions.“Isn’t it too late for this, brother?” I snapped at him as he turned sharply to me“What do you mean?” Michael asked, shocked, colouring his face.“Well, if you'd arrived when I asked you to, none of this would have happened. Who knows, I might have been married to Valerie already”“But_____"“Enough both of you” Vino glared at us both as he came into the room with his now seven years old son, Tino.“Uncle Victor, you look good” Tino complimented me as he came to stand beside me checking me out.“Thank you, Valentino. You're not looking bad yourself too” I replied whil

I watched the whole drama unfold in front of me like I was in the movies. My years of acting and the awards I’ve won couldn’t have prepared me for this twist.I kept looking from Grandmother Willow to Aunt Clara, surprised that something like this could happen in reality. Isn’t stuff like this meant for the movies?“I hate what you do to me, Mother. I hate what you did” Aunt Clara was crying as she pushed grandmother Willow off her and made to stand up. I pitied her right now. No mother should go through what she is going through right now. And to think she had hated Valerie all these years not knowing she was her daughter. Her only daughter.“I’m not done with the story. You have to listen to everything before you hate me” Grandmother Willow’s face had hardened as she stopped her daughter who was about to leave the mansion.“There’s more?” Tianna gasped as she settled back on to the chair. She had a proud smile on her face. I knew she loved this so much. After all those years she fi

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER DEBORAH I stepped out of the prison yard with a new change of clothes, clutching onto my purse and accessories, the lady at the reception had handed me in my hands. I shield my eyes from the harsh sun with the purse in my hands, it felt so good to be finally free. “ Woah! The weather is so good today” I exclaimed excitedly, taking a swirl around in excitement. “ Yes, you can say that again” I turned to see Xavier gazing up at me with so much love and affection in his eyes that I couldn't help shielding away shyly. I didn't hear him come to stand behind me

A MONTH LATERSANTORINI, GREECE“ So girls, here is our house” I heard Michael calling to the girls with his hands stretched to the property in front of us as soon as we stepped down from the car.“Do you like it?” Michael asked the girls who were giggling beside him while I was on the phone with Lillian.“ Of course, dad. Did you buy it? It's so beautiful” Nora exclaimed excitedly as she ran up the stairs to the front porch.“ Look Nora, it has a beach” Nadia's giggling voice called to her sister who came bubbling down to see the beach which was at the back of the house.

“ Good morning, Mrs. Thompson” Lexa greeted me the next morning as I stepped out of the elevator carrying my brown Christian Dior bag with leopard skin, it was a gift from Michael during my birthday.“ Good morning, Lexa. How was your night? Hope you slept well?” I told her with a smile on my face as I made my way into my office.“ It was fine, thank you, ma'am” Lexa replied as she came to stand in front of my table after I had sat down and dropped my bag on the table.Kicking out my brown suede heel which matched with the bag and complimented my outfit which was a brown mini skirt, brown blazer, and a pink camisole, I let the purple velvet rug caress my feet as I turned to stare at Lexa.

“ Sir, these are the files you requested for” Aurora's voice called out to me as I turned to watch her standing in the doorway holding on to the files in her hands.“ Good. Come on in” I told her with a broad smile on my face as I motioned her over.Aurora dropped the file on my table while I flipped through the pages looking for a particular entry. It was the budget for the Thompson's Hospital. Apparently, Dad found out the money budgeted for the hospital was too much and requested that we reduce it which was why I'm in a meeting with Doctor Damien. The director of the Thompson's Hospital.“ So, Doctor Damien. We've cut down the budget to fifty million dollars, hope that will be enough?” I asked him, I could see his lips curled up in a fr

We all sat in the courtroom looking around while I held onto my daughter's hands, Michael was on my right holding on to Nadia's hands while Nora was beside me. They had recovered from most of their bruises but we were all still going to therapy every Tuesday. Even Lillian had joined us this time, I couldn't help regretting dragging her into my mess.I stared into the whitewashed room of the courtroom but I wasn't really seeing anything. All I could remember was the night when I felt I was going to die and Michael had saved me the second time ...“ What is she doing?” I turned to stare at Lillian who gazed was fixed on Deborah, who was checking her gun to see if she had enough ammunition in them wearing a light smile on her face. I turned away from the face of the woman that I had come to despise, but couldn't do

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro

Skylar watched everyone gathered to celebrate her little baby. She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face as they sang a birthday son for him. “ Happy birthday to you” “ Happy birthday to you” “ Happy birthday to you dear Valentino” “ Happy birthday to you” Skylar smiled as she saw the tears of joy on her son's face as soon as he cut the cake. He bubble with happiness and came running to her side shouting with happiness “ I did it mom. I did it. Now I can protect you. Daddy says I'll be able to protect you, when I clock five. I'm now five” He called excitedly as he turned to flex his tiny muscles at his mom who squat down beside him and hug him tight to her chest. “ Yes, Tino. You are five. Thank you for growing up so healthy and being brave for Mom and Dad. We love you so much” Skylar told her son with a smile on her face as she turned to wipe her eyes away from her son as she wouldn't want him to see her in tears. He worries so much about her already with

EpilogueFive years later“ Has the flowers been delivered already?” Skylar asked the man who was bowing his head in front of her.“ Yes, ma'am” The man respectfully responded with his head still bowed.“ I hope it's, Tulips?” Skylar asked the man again to be sure there wouldn't be any mistake in the celebration today. She wants today to be a perfect day for everyone.“ Yes Ma'am. it just as you have requested” The servant replied with a knowing smile on his life. He wasn't annoyed with his boss's incessant questioning. He knew how thorough and perfect his boss could be.“ Thank you, Brian. You may take your leave now” Skylar nodded as she took a sip of the juice in her hands before she walked outside to the balcony and stood gazing at the sea. The refreshing breeze calm her nerves and brought peace to her mind.“ It's alright, Skylar. You are safe. Everything is fine. You are good and this is perfect '' Skylar rechanted in her mind as she struggled to calm her mind but even though it

Skylar gazed out of the window as she sat between two hefty men who she hadn't met before. Leon sat in front while Ty drove the car. She was shocked to see him again considering the last time he had left. Apparently, Leon didn't fulfil his part of the bargain when they arrived in Italy. Ty got annoyed and left but now that's he's back. Skylar guessed that Leon had once again made him another promise.Skylar oitied Ty, if only he knew who Leon was. He isn't the kind of man to keep promises but Skylar couldn't blame Ty, he was just another victim of love. Love, an emotion so strong that it could claim your whole being. She knew from first hand information how powerful it could be. It was love that drove Lolita into being an accomplice to Leon even though she knew she was at risk of being arrested with him.It was love that drove Ty to also aid Leon in his kidnapping spree. And the same love had turned to obsession and consumed both her sister, Elise and Leon , risking their life for t

Two Months LaterFlorence, ItalyA loud bang accompanies Leon entrance into the house where he had kept Skylar, this past few months away from any prying eyes. It was the safest place for him. No one would think to look there. Considering how much his mother had always hated Skylar, he knew she would never believed he was keeping Skylar under her nose.“ Leon, please let me go. You can't keep me hostage forever” Skylar groaned as he pleaded with him. This was their usual routine anytime he came to check on her and deliver her food.“ Of course, darling. I'm letting you go today. We are going to see the sunshine” Leon's face breaks into a smile as he squat down in front of her where she was tired to the floor. He placed a tray of food in front of her, his eyes straying to her stomach. Skylar watched the smile disappear from his eyes as he clenched his fiset in anger. She shivered in fear as she remembered the first time he had found out that she was pregnant. He had beat her badly bu

“ What's in it, son? Open it” Mr. Thompson urged his younger son as he rushed to his side. He was prepared for whatever was in that nylon. If it was some message from his business rivals, he will kill that fucking son of a bitch with his bare hands. He wouldn't mind being termed a murderer if it means protecting his family.“ Yes, Vino, open it. It might be the clue to Skylar. please be strong” Michael told his brother as he urged him on while nodding.Vino stares at his family to see the concern and care on their faces. He swallowed his fear and ripped the nylon apart. A little shiny thing fell off his hands onto the tiled floor making a clicking noise as it hit the floor.Vino gasped, he didn't need to look before he knew what that was. It was Skylar's engagement ring. He would recognize it anyway in the world as it was a custom made one. Only Skylar has that design.“ Whe__re di__d you g_et that?” Vino stammered between tears as he sank into the couch while breaking down in tears.

“ Anything missing, Inspector,” Mr Thompson asked the inspector as soon as they came down the stairs, having checked the rooms over and over again to be sure they hadn't missed anything.“ Nothing at the moment, Mr Thompson” Inspector Scott replied as he came to stand in front of them. He smoothed out his uniform and took the seat across from them. With his pen in his hands, he started his questioning.“ With nothing missing, this rules out the possibility of theft. Mrs Evan who do you think would kidnap your daughter” Inspector Scott asked Mrs Evans who was dabbing at the tears in her eyes and trying to think hard on his questions.With the notepad and pen in hand, the inspector was waiting for the answers but it seemed none was forthcoming. He decided to help her and give her some clues'' Maybe some friends from school or work colleagues who would wish her bad” “ I___ don't really know. My daughter never really communicated with me. And___'' She paused to sniff and dabbed at her ey
