100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 17
Ciara showed up the next day, except this time, Gideon was around. I felt more comfortable with him being beside me, not like I couldn't handle Ciara myself, in fact, this time I was prepared for her. She dressed a little more decent than the last time in a blue gown, it stopped just above her knees. I wondered if it was because she knew Gideon was going to be home.In fact, the Ciara before me wasn't the one I met few days ago or saw last night, this was a whole different person. The bright smile I saw on her face was one I thought impossible to ever be on her face. She carried a cheery mood with her this time unlike the cold shoulder she gave me the last time. I was more surprised to hear her speak so sweetly. "Gideon!" She said excitedly when she saw him. "I didn't know you were going to be around today."He chuckled. "I told you on the phone I was going to be around, remember? Anyways, it's going to be my wedding after all, I should be around for stuffs like this." He pulled her

My head was still reeling from what had just happened, I was angry, jealous, and didn't even have the time to deny it. First, he had brought her in to be our wedding planner, than had the guts to defend her. It annoyed me the more when he said I was making a big deal out of nothing. Nothing my ass!Did I ask to get pregnant? No. Did I ask for the wedding? No. He got me pregnant, he wanted the wedding, the least he could do was respect me. I stormed down the stairs angrily, I needed to get out of this house, any moment here and I felt I would suffocate to death. Maybe I was overreacting, Maybe I shouldn't have stormed out, Gideon and I had been getting along well and now—whenever I think of Ciara it just seems to fuel my anger more. "Miss?""What?" I shouted angrily as I spun round to see who had called my name. It was Stephan. He looked taken aback, startled by my outburst. "Oh sorry, I thought it was someone else." I gave a nervous chuckle, a bit embarrassed."Uh." He looked round

"What the fuck is going on here!" A voice thundered. Stephan jumped back in shock the moment he heard Gideon's outburst. "Mr B-Brynch," He said shakily. "It's not what it looks like I swear.""I knew it," Ciara said with a victory look. "She isn't to be trusted, this is the woman you're willing to spend the rest of your life with? She's finally proven to be nothing but a slut.""Quiet Ciara!" He thundered clenching his fist tight, I was afraid he was going to punch Stephan or break something. Saying I was terrified would be an understatement, I've never seen him look so angry before, rage seemed to flow through him like lava, I had caused this, what have I done? "What were you doing?" He looked to Stephan and then to me again. "How long has this been going on?""Nothing has been going on Gideon, this is all just a misunderstanding." I tried to calm him down. "Oh," He gave a dry laugh. "So I didn't just see his lips on yours?"I shook my head trying to explain. "I was the one who cam
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 20
I haven't seen Gideon for three days now, he has refused to pick my calls, he didn't even answer Estelle's own when I had tried to call him with her phone. I haven't also seen Stephan around, I fear that Gideon might have fired him, I need to explain to Gideon that Stephan did nothing, I was the one that came onto him, I will feel terribly guilty if Stephan lost his job because of me. I decided that if Gideon did fire him, I would do anything to try and get Stephan his job back, he really was a good man, at the moment I hated myself for repaying him such with the kindness he has shown me. I also hated myself for the kiss, it was barely even a kiss, just a tiny peck and I wasn't thinking straight. I wish I could blame it on being drunk, except I wasn't drunk, I haven't even tasted alcohol for months now. I don't know if Gideon would still like to go on with the wedding, if he decides not to go on with it, I won't argue. I needed to speak to someone, and not just anyone, someone who w

I woke up in a place I didn't expect to, not in my childhood bedroom, rather I found myself back in Gideon's penthouse. I sat up quickly, alarmed and confused. I was sure I had gone to visit my mother yesterday, I remember the taste of her meatballs on my buds, I remember cuddling my teddy last night in bed, so what exactly was I doing here, or was that all a dream? "I brought you home last night," I heard the familiar voice of Gideon say as if reading my thoughts. "Your mother let me into your room, she allowed me bring you back home.""Gideon?" I called his name wondering if I was seeing or hearing right. "I read your note," he said. "Why did you leave?"I got up slowly, sitting down on the bed. Why did I leave? What answer does he want me to give to that, I couldn't stay so I left. "I don't know the answer you want to that Gideon, if you're just going to scold me like a little child again, I might just leave again.""You had no right to leave!" He thundered, then his eyes widened

"How about we play twenty questions," I said as I laid my head on his shoulders, playing with his chest hairs. "What are we, teenagers?" He chuckled, I smiled at the vibrations that rumbled in his chest. "Come on, it wouldn't kill. We barely know anything about the other and we plan on getting married next week.""I know some things about you."I looked up at him. "Really?" I moved from him and rested my elbows on the bed, using my palm to support my chin as I stared down at him. "What's my favorite color?""Pink?""No," I nudged him gently with a little laugh. "Why do men think all women like pink, my favourite colour is blue.""That's close.""No, it's not." I shook my head and laid back on his chest. "What's your favourite color?" I asked. "Black," he said simply. "But not because I'm trying to be mysterious, or give of a certain kinda vibe, but because I truly like the color.""I think black suits you." I gave a small yawn. I liked this position, just Gideon and I in bed, it fe

It was a week before our wedding and we were done with sending out invitations, we didn't invite much, since we had prepared sits for only fifty people, so it was just families and few friends. It was going to be an indoor wedding, because we wanted privacy.Since Gideon was free for the day and I had taken leave from work because of my wedding, we had decided to go shopping. My cravings had gotten really weird lately and Gideon was getting tired of running to the supermarket just to get me almost about anything he didn't have in his fridge.I had given Gideon a list and sent him off, while I had take another list. I was getting random things, mostly snacks I've never heard of but looked really yummy. I had just grabbed a packet of some strange looking chocolate when a couple passed before me, any other day I wouldn't care but seeing Ciara with a man who I was sure was Timothee or Thomas, whichever one was is real name got my attention.Who was he to her? He had his arms wrapped arou
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 24
The day has finally arrived, my wedding day, it felt really weird saying it, felt really weird thinking it and just living it was almost fictional. The fact that everyone was out there waiting for me only increased my anxiety the more. I could barely sleep last night, I was up filled with thoughts.Last night Gideon had gone out with his friends for a little bachelorette party they were throwing him, while Lily and Olivia had come over for some ladies time. "Oh, Lily I've got chills." I finally voiced out. "They're multiplying!" she replied in a singsong voice. "And I'm losing control, cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying. Sing along babe!""No Lily stop." Palming my head, sometimes I ask myself where how she ever got to be my best friend. "I am not singing the song. I really have got chills. I can feel all the hairs on my skin standing, I've got cold feet.""Oh, you're serious." She got up from the chair which she had been sitting on by the door and walked over to me

Emma woke up and began coughing out loudly. The handkerchief tied around her mouth was loosened and she could feel how sore her throat was. She carefully opened her eyes. She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar. Then the man gradually stood up and approached her. Emma immdeately recognized him and she gasped in surprise. "Will? " she called out to him. He walked closer to her, smiled at her then bent down to where she was on the floor and caressed her face. "What are you doing here? " she asked him looking around the whole place. She was in a place that seemed like an underground. Will immediately broke out laughing and Emma stared at him in confussion. "My beautiful Emma. "
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 122: THE KIDNAP
Gideon walked into the office that morning smiling like a high school boy who had just fallen in love. He greeted everyone he came in contact with that morning which his members of staff found shocking. During the usual weekly briefing they have in the office on mondays, Gideon kept smiling throughout the whole period and his staff wondered whether he had found new replacements for the business partners who pulled out. While the weekly briefing was ongoing, Gideon kept thinking about his dance with Emma and the jokes they cracked last night. He was glad she had forgiven him. After he returned back to his office, Gideon made up his mind to invite Emma for lunch in a restaurant of her choice. What if she thinks he was flirting with her? he thought but still decided to try his luck. Meanwhike in the main head office of LIA'S bars, Emma was having goose bumps. She thought of how Gideon held her waist while they danced and she blushed. She remembered resting her head on his shoulder

After the event at the museum, Gideon accompanied Emma to her car and waved at her. Then, he got into his car and his driver Mel took him home. In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded. She missed it too. "You remember how I helped you fix your tie that day? " began Emma. "I do. " agreed Gideon with a nod. "I was so tensed and that I day if u recall, I was to sign a huge partnership with DIVINE whiskey. " recollected Gideon. "You were so restless that you forgot how to fix a tie instantly. " Emma reminded him and bursted out laughing."The whole Gideon Romero couldn't fix his tie. " she joked.
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 119 :JEALOUSY
After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir. " she promised her caller and drove home. Emma stood in front of her standing mirror trying different outfits on her. "Finally. " she said examining the long fitted red dress she held in front of th
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 118 : A FAIR DEAL
"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car

Frankie knocked on the door to Gideon's room with a careful sense of uncertainty. "Come in Frankie. " responded Gideon from the outside as if he was expecting him. "Good morning Sir. " Frankie greeted the moment he walked in. "Your breakfast is ready. " he said. Frankie wasn't sure whether Gideon will have the meal yet he tried his luck. Throughout last month, Gidoen had been skipping meals and when Frankie places it for him on his table, he barely touches it. This is as a result of the crises he was having with his business. Since after the accident in the bat tub, Frankie noticed a sense of cheerfulness radiating around Gideon so he decided to try his luck with the breakfast that morning. Gideon was seating on his bed reading a book when Frankie walked in to invite him for the breakfast. "I'll be there shortly. " replied Gideon and Frankie smiled and nodded. Few minutes later, Gidoen had joined Frankie in the living room. "Why don't we have the breakfast together? " suggest
