Everyone was already seated when he stepped in, including little Jack. He quickly took his seat at the head of the table. Emily was seated to his right while Bridget sat to his left. Anna sat beside her mother, and Jack beside Anna. While Paige sat beside Bridget.

The table was unusually quiet contrary to the usual chatter filled dining moments at the Mansion.

"Good evening everyone. Mum, Aunt." Simon greeted. He nodded at his sister and Paige with a warm smile.

"Good evening son." Emily replied.

"Good evening my d.a.r.l.i.n.g son." Bridget replied, touching Simon's arm and eyeing Emily who silently ignored her.

"Can we eat please?" Anna asked, obviously irritated by Bridget's behavior.

Jack's tiny voice blazed in the background as he said a loud prayer for their food and everybody chorused an 'Amen' before they commenced eating.

"I thought your father would be joining us for dinner today Jack?" Bridget kicked off the conversation on the table.

"I thought so too." Jack replied. "But

    Simon smiled warmly as he took another sip of his wine. "You sound like one of my therapists back in the day." He gave out a short laughter. "She was so good with speech and I always feel the impact of her words in my head. You just made so much sense. I never considered nor thought of any of these before now." He said, rubbing his forehead. "I will speak to her first thing tomorrow morning. I will help get a very good therapist for her if she is open to it." He said caressing her cheek with his right hand."Thank you for taking care of my mother like she's yours. It felt so good watching you read a story to them.""You were watching us from behind? I never knew." Paige laughed. "So you saw me barking like a dog." She laughed even more."No baby, I saw you roaring like a lion.""Oh, that's the worst." She exclaimed, laughing. "Ahha! while you were away, I visited the balcony." She said to him recalling her last visit to the balcony.Simon looked at her and offered her a drink from his

    "What do you think?" Noah asked, pausing in his steps. He turned to his son in anticipation, already scared of the worst. "Speak Felix." He ordered.Felix turned to his brother who was seated quietly at a corner listening to their conversation. "Most of the investors pulling out are the ones we got courtesy of Simon kentley." Felix said. "It could be a wild guess. But I reached out to Simon Kentley's office about the new offer he made us the other day. As usual, Mr. Williams picked up, but was unable to give me any reasonable info. He ended up saying they will get back to me, but never did. I tried calling back several times but nobody picked up. I left a couple of voicemails, yet nothing." He paused looking round to ensure his family was following the conversation.Devastated, Noah sank into a nearby chair."When was this?" Frankie asked, speaking for the very first time since their little gathering."Yesterday." Felix replied."And you're just telling me this now? You're seriously s

    "Dad, Dakar cleans his money. He has lots of legitimate businesses that are also making him money, and he is willing to become our biggest investor." Frank pushed hard."Why, what does he want in return? Why does he want to invest in our company? In fact, I don't want to know. We are not taking the offer. We only lost a couple of investors. That doesn't mean the end of the world. Businesses go through hard times. By Monday, we will start working on alternatives and will also reach out to more investors. I am not letting a fraudster, a killer, and a drug lord into my business. I would rather die than let that happen." Noah declared. "Have you forgotten that he has a hand in Morrison Kentley's death?" He reminded his son."Alleged Dad, the word there is alleged. Besides, I heard that they were good business partners. What does that tell you, if Morrison Kentley and Dakar partners and you claim that Dakar's money is unclean, then that should tell you that even the great Kentley was into s

    "I drove close to twenty five minutes down here just to have a time of my life." He started. "Now quit the questions, get down on those knees and give me what I need. You won't like it if we try the hard way, believe me. Slowly and with her chains still in place, Kailey knelt down facing him. Without warning, he shove his dick straight into her mouth. Kailey struggled for balance almost falling over but had her head caught by Frankie who only cared about her lips remaining in position. Gradually, she took in the length of his dick just like he had taught her and always made her to. Slowly, she started her lips up and down his dick paying attention to his shaft after forming an oval shape with her mouth which prevented her from hurting him with her teeth. "You are such a fast learner." Frankie praised her as he moaned and smiled wickedly. "Go faster." He commanded. But Kailey couldn't as she was still struggling with gaining enough balance as a result of her cuffed hands and chained

    "Good morning Aunt." June and Anna chorused."Hmm, good morning Lawyers." Bridget replied and turned back to her room seeing that the sitting room was occupied.Once out of sight, June turned to Anna. "You never told me we have Bridget Tacha with us L.a.w.y.e.r." She stressed, shaking her head to the side as she mimicked Bridget. This caused an uproar of laughter amongst the two sisters."She should be the least of your problems now. You need to speak to Simon about Gracia's presence in the house before he comes downstairs. You know he'll tear the whole place down seeing an outsider in the house. So, you'd better go tell him now than later." Anna suggested."And how am I going to do that?" June asked, looking confused."I don't know, by telling him maybe. How else do you want to do it.""Where is Emily and Paige anyway?" June asked, recalling that she has seen neither of them since her arrival at the Mansion."Both are inside their respective rooms. Emily doesn't want to see or meet Br

    "Was that all you heard?" He chuckled and walked towards the bed."How else am I supposed to hear a word when the both of you were barely audible? I had to strain my ears to hear the name." She said. "Who is she and what happened to her?"He got to the bed and sat beside her. "Gracia was one of Anna's clients a couple of years ago. Anna helped her through a few tough moments." He replied."And?" Paige pressed on."And now, she paid us a visit courtesy of June. She came with her mother to attend the wedding." He replied."So, what's the problem?" She asked."We don't allow strangers into the mansion unless on very rare occasions where there is absolutely nothing we can do about it." He said pulling her close to a hug. "What else do you want to know?" He asked, kissing the tip of her nose. "You might consider constructing a questionnaire for easy questions and answers.""I would need one seriously because I have lots of questions that might require urgent answers from you." She said,"As

    "The cardiac center is not entirely free Baby." He said. "It's open to the general public as well. The medical personnels working over there are extremely qualified. So, people who are financially capable are allowed to pay. While the ones who cannot afford the bill are given ted talks, their information is gathered and they will be picked at random. Our yearly target for charity cases at the Cardiac center is a total of twenty cases. I also have some farmer's children at Galvile whom I assist with scholarships and their tuition fees." He told her.Listening to Simon speak, Paige felt nothing but admiration for the man seated beside her. She wished she had met someone like him when she lost her father. Maybe life wouldn't have been so hard for her. She imagined the gratitude these families he helped would have for him. It will be an endless flow of appreciation from them for the rest of their lives. Even without being in their shoes, she was extremely grateful to him for being so kind

    "Anna please, stop trying to act like I'm suffering from amnesia of some sort. She was pregnant and wanted Frank to marry her. Frankie refused and she decided to come to you to build a case against Frank for negligence and make him pay through his nose. Such an ambitious girl! There were so many lawyers she could reach out to but no, she wanted Yardstin's biggest shot; The Anna Kentley! And you fell for it hook, line and sinker." June demonstrated."June stop. That is not entirely true. According to her, Frankie neglected her, and I believe her. She had minor bruises on her skin. I even suspected a case of battery. But she kept denying each time I asked." Anna explained."She didn't tell you that she got those from an encounter with Frank. So, your suspicion does not hold water. Come on sister! Was she really pregnant when she came to you and was Frank really responsible for the pregnancy?""She was pregnant when she came to me. Six weeks gone." Anna replied absentmindedly. "You might

    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.

"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 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.

    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!"
