"How about Philip Emerson, have you taken care of him now?" Anna asked her brother. "To some extent, yes." He replied."What's that, is he dead or not?" She asked again. "I am not some serial killer Na, I don't kill for fun. Philip Emerson is barely okay. He can't even remember his own name. I'm told it's something to do with the trauma and fear. If he ever poses a threat, I will take care of him myself. But for now, let's leave him be. He is the only survivor in his family. I can't wipe out a whole lineage. That is exactly what killing him means." Simon explained."Si, Philip Emerson's family were among The killers of your father." Anna reminded him. "Like I care. Do you care Annabelle?" He asked her. "For all I know, father got what you deserved."Anna sighed and shook her head in disagreement. "I agree with you that he got what he deserved. He deserved to die but not by the Emersons. Besides we all know that his flaws didn't affect his business. Our father was an honest business
Paige twirled in front of the mirror, taking in her beautiful figure. She wanted to appear as simple as she could since, it was just brunch with someone she had met just the day before. She wore a silk knee length dress in a bid to show off her gorgeous legs, and paired it with a pair of flat black sandals, showing off her red polished toes and a mini, long strap purse. Applied a dash of red lip stain to accentuate her looks. Finally, she tied her long lush hair making use of a few strands of her hair from the inside. The rest of her hair flew down to her back. After coming to the Kentley's mansion, Paige suddenly started paying more attention to her skin and overall appearance. In all fairness, she was perfect. She was gorgeous enough to give some beauty pageant organizers a run for their money.A call came in from Frankie and she picked up immediately."Hello," she said into the phone while waiting to hear from the person at the other end of the line. "Hello princessa, I'm at the
The rest of their lunch was spent catching up and getting to know each other better. They cracked jokes and laughed. When it was finally time to leave for home, Frankie saw her off to the car. After bidding him goodbye Paige and Nicon left for Creek Island.The drive home was shorter as Nicon took a shorter route unknown to Paige. She kept her eyes glued to the road, so as to find out the connecting road to the mansion.In between the ride, Nicon took a turn to his right and a few minutes later, she recognized the road as it connected them to the familiar one leading to the Kentleys mansion. Barely two minutes later, they arrived.As usual, she was helped out of the car by Nicon."Thank you." She told him. Slowly, she walked to the entrance of the house, all the while, reminiscing on the turn out of her day. It was indeed a lovely afternoon with Frankie and she enjoyed every bit of it. She was greeted and welcomed at the door by Sherman in his usual high spirited greetings. Nodding he
Simon in turn held her waist, while she kept going in and out, slamming her butt against his crotch, making a not so loud sound. She rocked to the sides, pushing his dick to a more tighter part of her pussy. "Where did you learn to be this good?" Simon asked as the wave of pleasure took over him."You taught me." She replied, smiling inwardly. To Melissa, this only meant that Simon was impressed."Too bad." He said in a husky voice. "The month is ending in about two weeks from now. I've never had someone for more than a month." He continued, as she drowned him erotically with her moves. She arched her back and bent forward to allow him a clearer view of his dick entering and leaving her pussy. This almost drove him crazy with his erection becoming bigger."I am so happy." Melissa started. "You've been most generous to me and I don't mind making you happy much longer." She offered."That won't be necessary, I already have someone for the month of September." He lied. "I may have made y
"Mother, you sure look amazing these days and your health is at a hundred. I am impressed. With the look of things, I'm not so sure you need me here anymore." Paige praised Emily as they engaged in funny discussions during their routine morning vital signs check. They had earlier exercised at the gym and freshened up already. "Of course I need you. Your kind words, reassurance and encouragement alone is the most beautiful gift anyone could ever ask for." Emily replied, squeezing her hands gently."Now you'll get me all teary now." Paige said in a calm voice. She held on to Emily's fingers firmly, giving her a reassuring smile. "Thank you so much Paige. I am grateful. And, I am so sorry about the other day with my son, Simon. I am certain that I've not been a good hostess. I pla.....""Mother stop!" Paige interrupted. "You have been nothing short of amazing to me ma. You treat me more like a daughter than an employee. I am the grateful one." She explained.Just as they were discussing
Paige took a look at herself in the mirror and wasn't satisfied with her hair. So, she packed them up in a messy bun, allowing some flyaways. After taking one last view of herself in the mirror, she headed downstairs to meet Simon.Stepping out to the porch, she caught sight of him beside the Jaguar SUV Nicon drove her in a few days ago. She started heading towards him and once he caught sight of her coming down the porch, he couldn't stop staring. He had his eyes glued to her as she headed towards him. "I am ready." She said walking up to him. "You are staring." She said, tapping him gently on the shoulder and a wave of redness spread across her face when he didn't reply to her immediately."I can't help it." He finally said without a care. "Let's go." He added, opening the passenger door of the SUV. Paige settled in comfortably, while Simon took his place at the driver's seat."You are driving?" She asked him, while fastening her seat belt."Yes, you don't like it when I drive?" He
Paige checked through her phone and saw more missed calls from Veronica and several messages from Frankie. She smiled at the colorful and thoughtful images he sent her and took quite a while to reply all his messages one after the other. This was gradually turning into a routine for them, taking out time from their busy schedule to check up in each other via calls or messages.She finally dropped her phone when she was done replying all the messages. Slipped into a bathrobe and made her way to the bathroom. She turned on the tap to fill the tub with water then headed back to her room, to wait till the tub gets filled up. The bathroom has overtime turned to one of her favorite rooms in the house and surprisingly, she wasn't a bit tired after the day's shopping. Rather, she was feeling great and energetic.She looked herself over in the mirror and shrugged. It was no longer news that she had gained some weight, although in a very beautiful way. The weight gain were just in the right par
Simon stared at her for a while before replying. "Yes, you heard that right. She is not.""That's not true." She chuckled lightly. "You don't mean that. You are obviously pulling my legs, aren't you?" She asked in doubt. "I don't believe you.""You better, because I'm telling you the truth." He replied."What about Anna..... a..... and June?" She asked again."They are my step-sisters." He replied, shocking her even more."Wow!" she whispered. "Your mother, your biological mother, what happened to her?" She inquired out of curiosity, yet to believe that Emily was his stepmother."She is late. We lost her a long time ago. I was still a kid when she passed. A whole lot has happened to me Sunflower, and I really do not wish to dive back to that part of my life right now. Do you think you could consider my proposal about the loan repayment?" He asked, trying to change the topic and staring as usual. Just like always, Paige looked perfect to him. Her gorgeous oval face remained ever sparkli
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
