The morning was cold. There was no sign of rain but the weather was gloomy and rather angry with not so audible thunder rumbles every now and then. Nobody in the Kentley's Mansion dared leave the house in such bad weather.

That morning the Kentley's exquisite dining room was graced by three members of the Kentley family and their guest, Paige.

Paige wrapped herself in a thick royal blue hand woven sweater with a color matched cotton pants. She was the only heavily dressed person at the table.

"I guess you don't do too well with cold weather?" Emily asked Paige, breaking the silence in the room.

Paige looked up from her food, and shook her head in agreement.

"No, I don't." She replied with a soft smile. "I catch cold easily. So I endeavor to cover up."

"Why are you eating that? I thought you never liked turkey?" Anna asked Emily, surprised.

Emily who was having a breakfast of skinless Turkey breast, vegetable and skim milk shrugged her shoulders.

    Anna smiled as she caught a fragment of their conversation. She was indeed enjoying this version of her brother. "Are you ready mum!" Simon asked his mother. "Yes please." Emily replied. She was putting on a pearl-laced gown that Paige helped pick for her the previous day while Anna had on a silk plain black gown void of any extra design. She was a known lover of simple dresses but the opposite was the case when it came to her accessories which always help do the introductions whenever her outfit fails to.Simon looked at everyone, satisfied with their outfits, he swiped his hand into Emily's and led the way outside.Getting outside, Paige quietly looked around for Charlotte, just like she did the day she went shopping with Anna Kentley, but couldn't find her car anywhere."I didn't get your name inside Miss." Nelson said as he approached Paige, interrupting her thoughts. "Paige, my name is Paige." She replied, turning to him."Do you need a ride, Paige?" Nelson further asked with

    Arm in arm, they stepped onto the dancefloor. The band began the first strains of a song from Urbanmen and they moved easily, naturally into the music. Frankie was a skilled dancer, agile and confident in his lead."What brings you to Yardstin?" Frankie asked."I got temporary employment." She replied truthfully.He raised his brow, throwing a glance at her lovely face. "If you don't mind me asking, what kind of job is that?" "Let's talk about you." She replied with a smile, ignoring his question. "What are you doing in Yardstin?" She said,"Such a smart young lady." Frankie chuckled. "Well, I work here. I'm a businessman. I work with Tedson and co." He said taking a few steps back to allow her some room to twirl."The furniture company?" She asked, recalling the famous Tedson and Co. furniture company from television jingles and social media ads. Who doesn't know Tedson?"Yes, the furniture company." He replied. "Now your turn," He lowered his head bringing their faces in close proxi

    Simon smiled and instead of stepping away, he moved closer to her."Why don't you tell me something sweet, or give me something to hold on to. I can't lie, I'm almost going crazy seeing you everyday. You are beautiful. The way You move, Gosh!!! Sunflower, you are perfect and I'm being honest right now." He confessed.Paige felt uncomfortable seeing him move closer to her. She looked around the room and realized for the first time they were the only ones in there. Her eyes wandered to the locked door, then back at Simon."You need to go, or I'll be forced to scream." She warned him. But instead, he got even closer and only stopped when they were a few inches apart. "I'd love to hear you scream my name. Though I will love it even more if the scream is as a result of pleasure, a pleasure I'm giving you." He told her.Paige felt the wetness between her legs. She swallowed hard in an attempt to calm herself down. The rawness of his words, the honesty and the fact that he could keep a strai

    Paige watched him disappear among the crowds at the event, then she went in search of Frankie at the bar. She found him seated, his eyes on her all the way as if in waiting. "Hey." Frankie called, taking a seat for her."Hey, sorry for keeping you waiting.""It's fine." He replied. "What would you like to take?""Something with less alcohol." They were speaking about almost everything. And after a while, Frankie asks for her contact again. She took his cellphone and was about punching in the digits when they got interrupted by Simon."Miss. Paige, my mother needs you, right now. It's a kind of emergency." He said tapping her gently on the shoulder."Oh really." Paige asked worriedly. Frankie and Simon glared at each other. A mix of anger and hate lingered in between stares. Yet none of them said any word to each other."Can we go?" He asked, turning to Paige."Yes please. Where is she?" "This way, I'll show you." He replied pointing towards the stairs at the end of the hall. "I'l

    Paige woke up to the sound of her phone alarm. Oversleeping has become a thing for her the past few days, preventing her from exercising in the morning as much as she used to. She felt a bit down or tired rather from the previous day's event. Sighing, she recalled how her day was ruined by Simon last night. The painful part was recalling that she didn't get to bid Frankie good night.She could have called him, but obviously can't as a result of her inability to get his contact the night before, all thanks to Simon's interference yesterday. She stood up and looked herself over with the help of the mirror, wondering if she was actually adding more flesh or it was just her eyes playing pranks on her. Shaking her head in disbelief, she moved away from the mirror. Taking hold of her blanket, she spread it on the floor, and decided to do some stretches to ease the muscle tightness she was currently feeling. A knock came on the door causing her to pause mid-stretch. The maid, Samira, came

    After seeing Emily off to her room and helping her settle in, Annabelle went to meet Paige at the dining hall.Walking into the hall, she saw her eating like nothing happened between her and Simon just a few minutes ago. Anna smiled to herself, a feeling of happiness evident in her, maybe, just maybe her brother has found his match.Maybe this is exactly what Simon needed after all. She thought to herself.Anna took a seat beside Paige. She touched her arm slightly while looking at her."Can we get some privacy?" She said to no one in particular. But the maids who were waiting on Paige left the hall quietly."Are you okay?" Anna asked once they were left alone. "Yes, I'm fine." She replied with a tired smile."Seriously though, you should learn to ignore my brother. He's just an angry, horny and lonely man who keeps transferring his aggression on anyone around him." She said, making Paige chuckle. "You sure know how to cheer someone up with your dark humor." "Tell me, when are you g

    "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

    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.

    "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.

    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!"
