"But you are not with your things. No big bag, what about your clothes? I thought you changed your mind or something." He said to her.

"There are clothes I can change into over there. It's really not necessary to carry a big bag." She replied "I'll be back first thing Monday morning." She added.

In order not to explode with anger, Simon took a sip from the bottle of water, always made available for him beside his seat. He glanced at Paige from the corner of his eyes, wondering what came over her or where he went wrong. With the current situation, he needs to keep reminding himself that Paige now wants an employer - employee type of relationship.

So, he needs to act accordingly. The ride to Crescent Fall continued with absolute silence except for the faint giggles from Paige every now and then, while she went through her gallery, viewing the images she took earlier.

"You know there are better ways to tell me what you want than ignoring me and acting like I don't exist." He said not h

    "Attaboy!" Noah exclaimed. "You Simon, you are a genius in a man's body. What you see in seconds, I myself might not get to see it even in years. You have your father's gift to decipher opportunities when you see one. No matter who or what they disguise as." Noah complimented.Simon smiled. He recalled how Noah stood up for his family when they lost Theodore and how he helped him fish out and kill some of the culprits, especially the Emersons. "You could get some acres there as well and maybe expand your business. You can develop something good. " He said, picking a glass of drink from the bartender who presented a tray to them. The host picked up a glass as well, and laughed hilariously. "I wonder how many acres they have left. Because, the Simon I know would buy as much as they have." Noah said. This made Simon chuckle. We can cut out a good deal." Simon started. "You can buy from me. I won't sell at an expensive rate, at least not to you. The price will be extremely affordable an

    "I can't force her to be with me. She's an adult. Any choice she makes, goes. Why did you alter the contract?""I was looking out for you, I'm sorry." She apologized, knowing that her brother might get upset with such behavior from her. "That's fine, I will find a way to fix it. He said."What, what will you do?"Nothing you should concern yourself with." He said. "Meanwhile, I will be in my ranch at Galvile tomorrow.""And the Mansion? Is something wrong at the mansion? I'm bringing Emily home on Tuesday. I have no doubt that she would love to see you when she gets back. What should I tell her if she asks you?"You don't have to tell her anything. I will see her at your place tomorrow before leaving. So, don't get yourself worked up." He took a sip of his wine."You know, when I heard those things about Paige, I really didn't care. I was just okay with the fact she was there for you and that was all that really mattered to me. But hearing everything you told me and seeing her today,

    He went back to the garden and they almost bumped into each other. "Frankie, where have you been? Paige has been looking for you for a while now." He asked, pretending not to have seen him earlier. "I had an important business call that I needed to take." Frankie replied. "Where is she now?" "In her room. She said she was tired and chilly and she wanted to have a warm bath and probably rest as well." Fe replied. "Great!." Said Frankie. "I'll go see her." He said, walking past his brother to the house. Just then Fe spotted Fiona with one of the guests. Her shoes caught his attention. It was a shiny gold glitters sandal, the very same sandal he saw while hiding earlier. Franklin walked up to Paige's room and waited for her to open the door after pressing the doorbell. Barely seconds later, Paige was at the door staring at him wide eyed. "Frankie." She was happy that he was finally done with Business. "Hey princess." Frankie called with a warm smile. "Can I come in?" He asked. "Su

    She waited for an answer but got none. When it was obvious that he was going to be silent on her, she snapped at him immediately. "Lawyer said you may have fallen in love. And please, do not blame her. I almost choked it out of her mouth." She said, "Is she the reason you ain't sleeping at night?" Simon smiled dryly twitching his lips to the side reluctantly. "I don't know really, I don't know if it's okay for a girl to make me feel this way." He said in a tired and very subtle voice. "I mean life shouldn't be this complicated. There are lots of girls out there, I shouldn't allow myself to get stuck on one right?" He asked seriously, hoping for an answer. Bridget smiled at his question. "You know, no matter how archaic you think this sounds, your mother and I believe that there is always just one life partner for everyone and when you come across them, you'll never remain the same and you won't have the power to control your feelings. I need you to remember that love is a beautiful

    "Wait Felix said sitting up with shock written all over his face. "I don't understand. Simon Kentley and Paige, are they dating?" He asked still shocked."it seems so. Frankie replied"I need a yes or no, brother.""Fe, I don't know. I think they are not dating yet. But they might be attracted to each other or so l hear." Franklin replied."Are you trying to say that you disrupted Kentley's relationship? Is that what you're trying to say? Because if that is the case, count me the fuck out cf this." Felix warned as he spoke through his teeth in obvious anger. "Frank, did you force or blackmail Paige into this entanglement with you?" Felix suddenly asked."Hell no! I did not. Why would I do that?" He asked pissed at his younger brother. "We are not even an official couple yet." Frankie stated."If you coerced or forced her, it wouldn't be the first time, would it?" Felix chipped in."Look Fe, I told you I was all in and I meant it. I only entertained the Ruben girl when I got from a very

    A few minutes after calming himself down and getting a grip of his temper, he finally placed a call across to Paige to check up on Paige."Hello princess." He called , when she picked up."Hey Frankie, good morning.""Good morning sweet girl." He replied making her blush. "How was your night?""It was perfect." She replied truthfully. Contrary to what she thought last night, she found out that she slept so peacefully unlike her previous night at Kentleys mansion.Although her thoughts were occupied by split images of Simon and Fiona seated together from last night, she was still able to fall asleep.Last night, She kept recalling how angry she felt seeing them together and ended up convincing herself that the anger she felt wasn't because she saw them together, it was because Simon pretended not to have liked Fiona before then. But they were smiling and looking so comfortable in each other's company, making her feel like he took her for a fool."I'm glad to hear that." Frankie said bri

    Felix who was still seated looked at his brother who was standing beside Paige holding her like a won trophy, smiled from the corner of his lips. "Why not Frank? He's always the one capable of reviewing such deals. Or am I missing something?" He asked with a gaze still glued to Frank.Frankie smiled as he already knew that his brother was still mad at him. "If you guys will excuse us, myself and Paige have something planned that we need to attend to." He said pulling Paige along with him."Mr Tedson, Sarah, Felix." Paige called each of them as a form of greeting before leaving them behind as she followed Frankie outside. She wondered what real estate business Simon pitched to Noah Tedson. The pull on her arm by Frankie brought her back to reality as she felt the pain on her flesh. "That hurts." She told him, wincing in pain."Oh, I didn't realize that. I'm so sorry." Frankie apologized regretting that he let his anger take a toll on him. He released his hold on her and led her outsid

    "She was not Gracey, our families aren't so close anymore. But we're still business associates. That is exactly what I've been trying to explain to you. I and my husband, we didn't invite them. My in-laws did and I felt it was only right to inform you now then keep it away from you. Please understand me, Gracey." June pleaded."Excuse me please." Gracey said, and walked out on June who stood rooted on the spot wondering if she did the right thing telling her. After a few minutes of standing, she finally headed back inside to her siblings."How did that go?" Anna asked once June stepped inside."It was a disaster." She replied"What is a disaster?" Simon asked clueless."I told Gracey that my father in-law invited the Tedsons to my wedding." June replied."Disaster should be an understatement then." Simon told her."Honestly, it actually is." June replied with head bowed."What really happened to her child? I remember there was no baby when I paid her a visit to see you at Baltimore" Si

    A gorgeous hostess led them upstairs to a quieter VIP bar that overlooked the stage and dance floor below. They were shown to a small seating area by the balcony and settled at a table hugged by two half-moon velvet sofas. The hostess propped a beverage menu in the center and said, "Your drinks are on the house. Enjoy your evening.""Wow!" Ugo whistled. "We scored.""I think that hawker recognized you from one of your court cases. Because how the hell are we getting such VIP treatment when we're yet to spend a dime." Daisy said out loud."Wouldn't that rock." Ugo grinned. "Or it could be the chef guy.... That dude is full of surprises. I've gotten too many gifts than I can't count since I met him. Yet, he's not interested in hitting this ass." "He could be pretending." Daisy fixed in. "Or taking it slow. The good old ways. He might be hoping to win you over thoroughly before making a move. In order words, he wants you to....""Loose my damn guard. Mmmm, not happening, not gonna happ

    "Look what I brought you." Daisy said instead of arguing. She pulled the champagne bottle and the chocolates and crackers out of the paper bag. "I'm not quite sure how cold the champagne is anymore, but we still have to drink it. And I heroically saved all of them, including the chocolates and crackers from the guy I was stuck in the elevator with, so we’d better enjoy them.""Well, of course we still have to drink that champagne. Give me that." Ugo grabbed the hotel water glasses as Daisy pulled the foil off the champagne bottle. "I can’t believe you were stuck in the elevator all that time. And why weren’t you texting me back. Was your battery out?" "Okay, there’s a story there, but let’s toast to you first before I get into all of that." Daisy twisted the metal lid open and pulled out the cork with a gentle pop. After she poured a healthy amount into each of their glasses, she held hers up. "To Ugo Chike, the first black female partner at Jade and Judy, in over ten years. To a br

    "I've been doing fine for years now. Please just go back to wherever you're coming from and let me be."Brett moved over to her and crotched down opposite her. "Go on a date with me, over the weekend."Daisy burst into laughter. "Is this guy a joke or something." She asked rhetorically, loud enough to Brett's hearing. "No.""Come on.....""I'm not going on any godforsaken date with you Mr Lexington. Not in your wildest dream.""Okay." he said pushing two open hands forward to calm her down. "Go to a fundraiser with me then. Technically, I wanted you to be my plus-one at the fundraiser organized by the Mayor over the weekend and maybe we could go on a date afterwards. But since you said no date, let's go to the fundraiser together." He offered."No.""Daiz. I promise you, if after the fundraiser, you decide that you don't want to be see me ever again. I won't bother you. Just this once, please?"Daisy became calm for a moment. She looked up at his angelic face and watched him flash a s

    CHAPTER 1"What time do you even plan on getting here. Are you sure you're still coming?" Daisy listened to Ugo whine over the phone."I'm all dressed up already. You'll see me soon, I promise. I just had a really stressful day at work and I had to make a quick stop at home to get into a more comfortable footwear." she tried explaining. Pushing the door of her walk-in closet close, she pulled a black leather jacket across her black singlet, sat on the bed and bent low to buckle her sandals when she heard Ugo's next words."You're changing footwear? Don't tell me you plan on wearing any of those boring flat sandals of yours.""Something wrong my flats?" "Really, you're going to ask me that." Ugo boiled."We're going out to celebrate for crying out loud. You have to look the part. Put on a pair of those gorgeous Louboutins you got there. Why do you splash so much money on exotic footwear when you don't wear them.""Hello, are you forgetting something? You're forgetting that you make me

    Paige was more shaken than she cared to admit. Somehow she did not expect Stefan to openly confess his infidelity. She had thought perhaps he would attempt to deny it."Why, Stefan?"He reached for her hands, but she pulled them out of his reach. "Why, Paige? Because you were always so unapproachable. There were times when you turned me on, made me so hot that I thought I was going to explode... and ......... and then you would just put up that damned 'don't touch me' shield. And when you did that I had to have someone else. Any woman.""You're a liar, Stefan. Why didn't you tell me that you wanted me?"He managed a winning smile. "I guess way back in my head I wanted to save you for marriage."Paige's smile was cynical and sinister. "It's too bad you didn't save Aurora, because I'm history, Stefan Riley."She stood up, holding her glass. Stefan never had time to react when she walked to his side and emptied the glass in his lap.She replaced the glass on the table, smiling. "That shou

    The next morning, Paige woke up to an empty bed. Simon didn't come in throughout the night and she was just too stubborn to go to him. She sighed, had a quick shower and left to grab a quick coffee in the kitchen. Veronica was prepping their breakfast when she showed up and she took two biscuits from the freshly baked ones and cup of coffee."Have a nice day Mrs. Veronica." She called."You too ma. But won't you eat something better than just biscuits? I'm baking banana bread." She called after Paige."Yummy, keep some for me. I'll be back in a couple of hours." She replied from the living room. She scanned the house and saw no trace of Simon. Gulping down her coffee and biscuits she rushed to the kitchen to wash the cup but it was taken by Veronica. "I'll do that ma'am." She offered. "Thank you so much." She grabbed her phone and sent Simon a quick text telling him where she was headed before opening the door. Nicon appeared almost immediately, neatly dressed and ready to go wher

    They floated together, each motion smooth and fluid as if the music had been choreographed just for them and them alone. Unspoken whispers and desires raced back and forth, telegraphing a savage hunger, a desperate need. Their bodies were in perfect harmony. Paige needed and Simon fed her.The desire to share her body with Simon Kentley surpassed all reason and common sense. But at that moment common sense was what Paige lacked most. She wanted to experience the waves of ecstasy he had given her earlier; she wanted the peace Simon offered, and in turn she would give him the love he sought from a woman.The musical selection ended and Simon led Paige through the throng. The next number was a rocking, upbeat tempo which got everyone to their feet, moving in time to the pounding, driving rhythm.Simon caught Tenor's arm. "We'll be on our way now.""You're leaving?" Tenor asked. Simon nodded, and Paige was as surprised as Tenor. "Give them whatever they want," he informed Tenor."You're

    Fiona boldly walked up to them and flashed a smile."Who the hell let this pest in for god's sake." Simon swore under his breath making Paige giggle. "Hi Mr. Kentley." Fiona started with her annoying voice. "Miss Ruben, how are you?" Simon called coldly but Fiona did not seem to notice the coldness in his voice. "I'm managing to survive." She replied. Leaning forward, she peered at Paige. "Hi there, it's you again." She smiled "Won't you introduce us officially Mr. Kentley. I mean we're all here because of her." She said, draping her arm on Simon's hand.He gently removed her arm. "Miss Ruben, this is Paige Patterson, my girlfriend."A frown marred Fiona's beautiful face. "Your girlfriend." She murmured in annoyance."Fiona's father is a business pal of my dad's," Simon stated, deliberately ignoring Fiona. "This woman is no fucking girlfriend of yours!" Fiona shouted.Paige reacted as if she had been shot. Fiona's voice was strident, hysterical. Heads turned in their direction.Sim
