Adrian's pov She was finally giving me the attention I needed. This was all I could wish for. I was trying all I could to make her finally like me. To be sincere, I had never seen anyone who was this beautiful and loving at the same time. She was like an angel and the first time I met her she made my heart stop beating. I never seen anyone like her before."Clara, I like you very much, and this is the only way I can tell you because of the way I'm feeling. I love you so much, if there was a way I could tell you, I will. I'm just trying my best to figure what I'm feeling, but it seems like I'm addicted to you."He smiled, looking at her with love, before standing up to go to her seat. "Please can you tell me how you feel for me? Your friend was telling me that you have been thinking about me recently, could you please tell me?" I could tell the pressure she was under, it wasn't easy for her to confess a feelings to me. She had once pushed me away like I didn't matter to her, and no
COLE'S POVI picked my coat from the couch and draped it on my shoulder before heading out of the office, not after grabbing my briefcase case.I headed out of the office and got into the elevator. I was thirty minutes late and I knew it was because of the additional paperwork I had to attend to. On getting to the lobby, I could feel gazes on me but I ignored them as usual before making my way towards the exit. I walked towards the parking lot and got into the car before driving out of the premises. Without squinting my gaze, I knew she was the one. Standing and trying to alight a taxi. I would have pulled up to get her in but I wasn't gonna waste my time. I increased the speed and zoom passed immediately.I could see her glaring at my retreating cat through the rearview mirror but I wasn't gonna look back. By the time I drove through the gates of my house, I was already tired and all I needed was a bath, dinner and a sound sleep. I got out of the car and grabbed my briefcase befo
You smell so good," I muttered, leaning closer to her neck with a smile playing on my lips. She smiled back quite seductively, saying, “You know I always smell good," she said before she placed her lips against mine, kissing me passionately. "We-we can't do this now," I whispered in between our lips frolicking together, and proceeded to add, “You know if we go any further our plans for tonight will be canceled.” She smiled even more as I pulled myself a bit from her firm grasp."I enjoy every moment with you,” she said as she turned to face the mirror to continue her dressing. “I know my love," I said, feeling heat spread up my neck and spreading around my cheeks, while I slowly released my arms from her waist"I’ll be heading to pick out my outfit, honey," I said, taking steps away from her just to admire her elegant shape and sizzling curves from behind. “Uh-huh, show me your range of options so I can pick the best one that matches my outfit.” Her voice had a lilt in it. “You b

I was fed up already. Just after a day of accepting him, look what happend and now look where I was. Pain filled my heart, and I tried my best to make him see reasons.I needed to go think about this, I wasn't sure what I wanted anymore. Cole and I were neve supoosed to be lovers, we were supposed to be friends who wanted to get revenge on others."Shelly, please talk to her, she night be able to listen to you, please..." He teied to reason with my friend but all she told him was to let me come down first, but Cole refused he kept on pushing his way towards me like never before.

Mary's pov."Hmmm, someone has gotten a boyfriend so quickly," I teased with a smile. a raised brow, and rolled her eyes in joy.Clara had just escorted Adrian out of the house, and had returned only to meet Mary teasing her in such a way."You said you wanted to meet his mom?" "Hey!" I could tell she was shocked, her eyes were widened, facing where I was. Who knew Adrian was the guy she was looking for? I didn't think it was going to happen. We are in such a small world, and now, we are going to go out on a date."Are you sure you didn't plan this?" Clara asked me to be sure. She knew that I wasn't the kind of person who wasn't interested in love."No, I didn't." She could only roll her eyes, pressing her lips into a thin line as she went into the kitchen to make me a cup of coffee.I appreciated her, but then decided to pop up the big question which was to ask her if she loved him"Love? Are you serious?" She had to be sure I knew what I was saying. She told me that she only just
"Mary?" I walked into the room, only to see her laying on the bed with a smile on her face even when her eyes were closed."I'm not mad at you, I like what I'm seeing. You know when you told me you lied about having a boyfriend i–" "He's just a friend, nothing more." She could only laugh at me, telling me that she wanted me to do something more from the both of us."Adrian loves you, can't you see?" I scoffed, glaring at her with my arms crossed against my chest. I was really curious as to why she was telling me such a thing. She never spoke about love. Nothing like that was in our lives."What do you think about the news of Vanessa, I feel really bad for her." Immediately, those words left my lips, I saw how angry she became, and I couldn't even see her anymore. She was angry and sent me out of her room without looking back.I walked down the stairs to see that Adrian was already pacing around the sittingroom. I couldn't help but smile. He was worried about me and showed that in h
Vanessa's pov"I'm still angry at you!" I crossed my hands over my chest not wanting to listen to what he was telling me."Baby, you're joking right? We had Intimacy last night, I like it more. Besides, you told the media you love me, didn't you?" I rolled my eyes, if only he knew what was going on in my mind, he would never have said such to me.He was still going on a dinner date with that lady, and just imagining it alone scares me to bits."Tell me what you want me to do? Business is business dearie, you don't expect me not to accept her proposal."I just rolled my eyes, walking past him. However, he held my hands and pulled me back, his eyes staring at me with a hint of naughtiness showing on his lips."Tell me, do you think I'll let you go that easily?" He asked with his brows raised, pulling me, and slamming my lips until he was again.Wanting to go wild, I wrapped my legs around his waist but used my arms to wrap around his legs before spilling myself up.After the passionate
Lola's povThis was the best proposal I had ever seen. The expensive hall, the expensive ring, this explained by him was always beaming in, and out. He was trying to make sure everything went on well without any interruption. It was morning already, and after waking up, and wincing constantly from the terrible hangover last night, I finally sat up on the bed. My eyes were closed, Trying to surprise the throbbing pain in my head as I tried my best to hold on."Fuck!" I recalled last night, and my eyes instantly opened, wanting to know if it was a dream, or reality. To my surprise, the ring was on my hand, and was able to show them that I was living in reality."Yes!" I screamed, but winced when it affected my head. Just then, the door opened, and I saw Sheldon walk in with a tray of food.My stomach growled, and my tongue grazed my lips to satisfy my hunger. I was really hungry, maybe because I was too excited to eat last night."Baby, thank goodness you're awake, I brought you break
Cole's POVMy head was banging hard, my eyes were filled with tears, my hand were tight on the steering wheel and my foot couldn't lift off the accelerator as I drove to work thinking about the atrocity that had happened between Lola and I. Vanessa wouldn't even pick my calls and she's not even home.How I explain that when she saw I and Lola kissing it wasn't my intention but Lola who kissed me. How is Vanessa ever going to understand and forgive me? Come to think of the fact that she's carrying my unborn child is giving me the chills because she isn't in her right state of mind and this could cause her to try to do something which could affect me herself and the baby.Lola that devil had succeeded in evening out her grudge against Vanessa and now I'm going to deal with this the right way by deleting and canceling out all proposals she's brought to me. I'm not going work or have anything to do with Lola.She's really gonna pay for this dearly , and I'm going to get Vanessa back, all
Vanessa's pov.I had been trying to get my phone plugged in all day, but it seemed like everything was just off. I plugged my phone, and then I was hocked at the number of voice mails I got when I turned it on."Vanessa, it's Cole. Please... I nees you, I just lost my mom, your the only one I can be able to count on, please..." Hearing it, my phone dropped from my hands, and I instantly felt like the whole world was about to crumble."No, no!" I was having a serious headache, but Cole needed me the most now. With that I grab my purse and rushed out of the house halting a cab which was used to get to Cole's house.I never thought I was going to come here anytime soon, but here I was, standing with my eyes watching the gate as I hoped he was going to be fine.When I knocked on the door, the gate keeper opened up, and when so that it was me, he rushed to my side I'm pulling into the house, telling me Cole wasn't all right."I know that, that's why I'm here." I gulped, feeling nervous. I
Cole's pov.The driver questions me about what was happening, but I kept short, instructioning him to drive. Tried calling the only person I knew I could reach out to, but then things didn't go as planned. Her phone was switched off, and I dropped a couple of voice messages just to tell her how I was feeling."Hey Vanessa, I feel really terrible, please come over, please..." I begged with everything that in me, my eyes burning as I dropped the phone in the car after sending the last voice message.My heart was beating hard in my chest, and I saw how she was acting. If only she was by my side, she would know the right words to say to me just to calm me down.Getting home, I rushed to my room, avoiding my daughter who was probably back from school. I didn't even know how to tell her the news, but I knew that I couldn't tell her now. She was. It in the right state of mind now."Please... Mom, don't leave me.." I placed my head on my pillow, and I wept for a little while. My eyes was fil
Cole's pov.It has been days mother had been staying with us, but she was acting very mysterious. At first I thought you was tired from The journey, but after a while, I realise that it was becoming too constant for how to catch a nap. It was unlike mother for her to lay In her room all-day, but I was going to try my best to make sure I found out what was going on no matter what it took.I was in my room, pondering about the whole situation when I decided to go see what was happening. I strolled down the stairs, tired as I moved. It has been a long day since I returned fodm the office, and the fact that Vanessa didn't even speak to me expect in times where she came to hand me files broke my heart deeply."Mom?" I called, and immediately saw something fall out from her hand. She was shocked, and tried to pick it up, but rushed there to meet her.I stared at her suspiciously asking her about what was in her hands when she tried to hide them even more."Mom, what are those?" I tried to a
Vanessa's POVIn order to just clear up my head, I went to the bar to get some shots. It's always gladdens me to drink them because It makes feel that I'm better off on my own, that I don't need any stupid boyfriend like Cole to take me for grantedThe bar wasn't the kind that had so much room or so much drinks because it just a local Bar but it my taste and that was all I needed. Another shot! I yelled to the bartender for another pint of beer. That was my tenth shot if I was really counting right because at this time I was getting a little lightheaded.But, thank Goodness my dear bestie Shelly was there to guide me home in case I pass out. She wasn't quite the kind of person I was but she could tolerate me and my bad habits at least and that's why I cling to her."Vanessa this is too much drink you are taking, you can't kill yourself over estimations you don't really have a base fact to prove, besides he's pleading for your apology-""Who says I wanna kill myself, huh?" I interrupt
Mary's pov.I was in my room, scrolling some videos on my phone when she came out of nowhere. She was looking angry, but then she hid it before getting to where I was.It was Clara. She was sitting there, her eyes darting around in anger, yet she couldn't tell me what the problem was to my face directly. I kept quiet, acting like she was not in the room, and then she finally spoke."You said you've gotten over Cole, why then did you do that to them, huh?" My brows furrowed trying to understand what she was talking about, but then it want just possible, it seemed like there was something wrong with her. What the hell was she talking about?I knew that she didn't know anything about the whole matter, but then she was acting like she did which finally caught my attention."Clara, go straight to the point, what the fuck are you talking about, huh?" I asked, and she was unable to say anything because it all came as a shock to her. She was surprised that I was denying ever having anything
Cole's pov.I had to send Snow to her bedroom. I was meant to go into the bathroom to freshen up before I would go down for breakfast. It was obvious I wasn't going to the office today because I was really tired, and I also needed to find a way to get Vanessa back.Speaking of Vanessa, could it be that mother came back because of her? My eyes widened when I came out of the bathroom. She was here to ruin my relationship with Vanessa just like she did with my first woman.Anger flooded my mind, and I instantly felt like tearing her apart. As a mother she was supposed to support me, not to ruin my relationships with the woman I loved.Thinking of that alone made me really furious, and I felt like storming to her room to ask her questions, but then, what could I possibly ask her.I moved out of my room, and immediately bumped into one of the maids. She was sorry, apologizing almost immediately, but I didn't have time for that. I wasn't to know why she was here."Why are you here?" I stro
Cole's pov.I came back from the engagement looking really tired, my eyes heavy, just like my heart as I moved up the stairs. I was going to see the only person who could make me smile at this moment, my little daughter, Snow, and looking at the time, it was obvious that the servants put her asleep.When I got to the front of her door, I sighed, pushing the door open I was greeted by a sad look on her face. Her window wasn't covered by the cutton, and her lights were still on. I knew the maids weren't the ones who did this. She was just too smart, and might have pretended to sleep just to get the maids out of the place.Pushing that aside, I moved to where she laid in the bed like sleeping beauty, her eyes were closed, and her hands were placed togther under her pillow. She was just so cute.Sitting at the corner of the bed, I exhaled, starting a conversation with her just to tell he how rough my night had been."What's wrong snow, I'm doing all I can to make the relationship work. W
Sheldon's POVI could barely sleep that night, Lola caught me cheating on her. I couldn't believe I was a pawn in Vanessa's chess.How would I have fallen for that trap with Evelyn? I should have known it was sabotaged, and now Lola wants absolutely nothing from me. The disappointment in her eyes were the last and most horrible look I can never forget. The love I have for her hasn't even reduced a bit. I thought about a new apology strategy to get Lola back as I walked to my office. Just as I got to the door to my office, I saw two muscular guys in black coats who stood side by side.“May I help you guys?”They gave me a strong stare with no words as they restricted me from getting into the office. I was beginning to get scared of them because they didn't seem pleasant at all as I tried to get passed them again.“I got some work to do, so if you don't-”The man on the left showed me the left area of his jacket, which revealed a pistol slotted at the waist of his trousers.“God!
