A Little Like Fate 51~ Change
DELIA Levi changed. He changed for the better and he let me resume my work but only as his PA. The marriage contract was unanimously burnt and we moved on with our lives. The only difference was that I got another best friend. Levi made sure I got everything I wanted. He gave me breaks and even reduced the workload by coming to the office frequently. He was a total sweetheart and I was loving the new him. It didn't take long before he convinced me to go on a vacation with him. He chose the destination since I didn't have anywhere in mind and after some weeks, we arrived in Paris, the most beautiful and romantic city in the world. I felt privileged and I was hoping to be productive during my stay there but on the first day, I was still sleeping. And Levi wouldn't let me rest. He was always buzzing my ears with loud words and it annoyed me. I had to cover my ears with the pillow before I could sleep. The next time he entered my room, he peeled the duvet off me and I sat up in anger

DELIA "Will you stop that? It's not funny." I said with an unamused look on my face. "I think it's cute." He licked the last scoop and stretched the bowl for more but I took it from him and placed it in the sink. "If you won't help out, you should just chill in the living room watching Netflix." "Fine, fine." He groaned. "What do you want me to do?" He grabbed an apron and a hat and then stood beside me. I chuckled a little at his funny costume before getting back to work. ****"They're ready," I yelled to Levi who sat in the living room using his phone. I had the opportunity of peeping into his phone and I saw he was texting with several of his flings. I didn't know why it disturbed me but I tried to tell myself that it wasn't my concern and it was his life. He had the freedom to talk to as many women as he wanted. Besides, he had the money to take care of them all after they were done with their business with him. "Come on, Delia, stop thinking about it," I said to myself out
A Little Like Fate 53~ Intimate
DELIA Everything was happening so fast. "Levi, please, wait," I said breathlessly. His hands were moving over my surface and I wasn't comfortable with it. I managed to move away from him. "This--- This isn't right. You're my boss and I'm your assistant. We shouldn't be doing this." I said with a flushed face. I couldn't look him in the eye anymore. "I'm sorry." I turned and ran to my room. My heart was beating fast. What would he be thinking of me? I closed the curtains which I had opened earlier and shut the windows. I began to pack my things. If Levi was to make any more advances at me, I didn't think I would be able to stop him or myself. I packed up most of my clothes in my bag and proceeded to my foot wears. When I heard the door opening, I froze at that spot. Damn! Why did I forget to lock the door? Levi walked slowly toward me and stood behind me. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Leaving," I replied. He sighed. He began to move and I swirled to stop him from getting
A Little Like Fate 54~ Hurt all over
LEVI "Hey, good morning." I greeted Delia with a kiss on her neck. She was making breakfast for the first time since we got here. "Good morning." She replied. "Hope you slept well." "Why shouldn't I? I had a very good night and I slept like a baby. Of course, because you were there." "Oh, you flatter me too much." She joked and set the table. "By the way, I was invited to a function this weekend. I was able to get two invitations.""Oh, really? Who are you going with?" "Who else is seated here? You, of course." I nudged her"I see... Thanks though." "You're welcome. By the way, you need to dress as hot as possible. If possible, hotter than normal. There are some people I want to pepper that night. Hopefully, they'll be there." I grinned. I scooped some food into the spoon and attempted to feed her. Fortunately, she didn't try to resist. "I don't want you worrying about what people at the office would think about us, okay? It's normal for people who work closely to fall in love
A Little Like Fate 55~ Harsh
DELIA I woke up with a banging headache. The more I tried to lift my head, the more it ached. But I needed to answer who was at the door. I noticed I was still in last night's party dress. Looking at it made me feel disgusted and I couldn't wait to get rid of it and every other dress bought by him. I didn't bother checking the footage because nobody's visit could surprise me. I opened the door to meet an indifferent-looking Levi. "Oh, it's you." I scoffed and leaned on the door. "What do you want?" "What do you mean 'oh, it's you'? Why did you leave without informing me? I called your number severally but you refused to pick up. You freaking had me worried. There are lots of pe----" "Listen, sir Levi," I cut in and stood erect. "When you're done vomiting all the lies in your mouth, you can leave." I moved three steps backward and slammed the door in his face. "And don't worry, I'll return your clothes so you can give them to those flings of yours," I shouted and locked the door
A Little Like Fate 56~ Pregnant or not
LEVI I waited. I waited for the doctors to come out and tell me Delia was fine but after three hours, none of them were out. It made my heart race. What if...? Nah, she can't die. That would be the most horrible thing to happen to me. Having an argument with someone in one minute and less than ten minutes, the person is gone forever? Nah, how then will I tender my apology? "I swear to apologize if she wakes up." I thought out loud. I never prayed but I would do anything to make sure Delia was safe. Why didn't I just confess how much I love her and that I was just trying to suppress my feelings by being mean? Why didn't I just do that? Now, the chances of seeing her again are almost zero. Man, I'm such a fool. She wasn't a fool for thinking I'd ever love her, I was the fool for trying to run from it. She's my addiction and I didn't know how I was going to live without her. The nurses told us to sign some documents and asked us to come back the next day. They assured us that she w
A Little Like Fate 57~ The rescue mission
DELIAI knew I was finished as I stared at the pregnancy test strip. My entire world shook because I wasn't expecting it. I didn't know how but I suddenly found myself on the ground, staring at the strip in my hand. "No, this can't be," I whispered to myself. I could remember us being all over each other during the trip and yes, we didn't think of protection. How could I have been so stûpid as not to think about that important factor? Who knew if he did it on purpose to taunt me for the rest of my life? I stared down at my stomach. This was what I had always wanted; another being growing inside of me. It had always been my dream from when I saw Charlotte. She looked beautiful with her baby bump and I wanted that too. But not with Levi's child. *******"It's fine, dear." Devin rubbed my back as I cried my eyes out. I called him immediately after I found out I was pregnant. I've been having a sick feeling and ended up puking all morning. The feeling stopped some minutes after Devin
A Little Like Fate 58~ A new beginning
DELIA "Listen, Honey, I have to go. I need to go to work so that I can make ends meet for all of us. Surely you don't want me and little Andrew to be hungry in the upcoming days, right, Honey?" I patted the fur of wailing honey, my dog and Andrew's companion. I stood up and tried to leave the house quickly but Honey was quicker. She tugged on my pants. "Ugh... You never give up, do you?" I rolled my eyes and went to get her food. I dished some on her plate and watched her eat delightfully for the first ten seconds before dashing out. The moment I lock the door, a sigh escaped my lips. Such a demanding dog. As I arrived at the bus station, I realized I had forgotten my phone while trying to please Honey. I felt worried at first and then I thought, "Who's gonna call anyway? I barely receive those." I shrugged and stayed down at my baby, Andrew. He looked so dashing as he slept peacefully. Every morning, he earned stares from people on the bus; whenever he was sleeping, crying, or e

A Little Like Fate Epilogue
DELIA "Did he tell you anything? Is it a business meeting or what? I don't understand why I have to dress up this pretty to go meet some other person." I groaned. Levi and Javan were always up to something crazy and I was sometimes scared of them. "Stop speaking in my ear, sis. Just wait until we get to the meeting spot. You can ask the client yourself why we're going there." He said. I relaxed back in my seat because arguing with him was pointless. We got to a seven-star restaurant and boarded the elevator. To my surprise, we got to the last floor of the building. Javan told me to go on while he went down back. "Hopefully these guys aren't trying to sell me." I prayed as I clutched myself when a rush of chilly wind hit me. The place seemed empty until someone walked up to me to deliver a card. "Come forward," the card read. I smiled widely as I knew what was going on. He could have just said so in the first place. I walked forward and met a beautifully decorated table filled w

DELIA "I can't, babe. I have to go home and change first. Andrew needs a bath too. He ruined his clothes today and he can't sleep in them." I queried. Finally, he agreed with me. "But make sure you come back, okay?" He said and kissed me. "I will." I pinched his cheek and walked out with Andrew. Nobody had heard from Fallon, not even Levi's mother whom she came with. Hope she didn't kill herself somewhere. Or maybe she had gone home. Javan was still trying to locate her and hadn't reported any news to us yet. As I got down from the cab, my phone rang and it was Levi. "I just left five minutes ago. Missed me much?" "When are you coming back? Now?" "Not at all, in an hour or two." I headed for the apartment, smiling. I looked back and the cabby had driven away. "Come on, babe, don't do this to me," He begged. I laughed and just as I passed through the yard gate, I heard an explosion. My first instinct was to shield my baby. *****LEVII heard an explosion and then a scream foll

DELIA "Javan, you've gotten so lean. Is Levi stressing you out?" Mrs. Elrod exclaimed. She touched Javan all over to his dismay. Levi and I laughed at him while he frowned. "I'll make sure to spank his arse later, okay?" She smiled. "So, Delia," She faced me. I stopped smiling and put on a serious expression. "How did you meet my son?""I met him at College during our first year," I replied. "So, how came about Andrew? You two are not married and he never mentioned you to me." She expressed worriedly. "It's more or less a complicated issue. He will give you the details of everything you want to know. Right, dear?" I touched his shoulder and he nodded. He was still nervous but he should be the one to break everything to her since they were closer than any other person in the room. We were all having a good time when the door was opened harshly. We all turned to the rude intruder and found Fallon standing at the door. Her hair was quite messy and her eyes seemed red and heavy. W
A Little Like Fate Chapter 72
DELIA I had a splendid time at the hospital with Levi over the weekend. He mustered up the courage and asked me out for real this time. The way he did it was funny and I ended up laughing up my energy. Who knew that the almighty Levi could be so nervous around me? I felt sad that I was leaving but I had to go to work. If I had listened to him and stayed throughout the week, the workload would have been too much on him whenever he resumed. I woke up early that Monday morning and prepared food for my boyfriend. He didn't like the hospital meals and he certainly didn't want to eat outside. So, yeah, it came down to making food for him. I also made the one that could last for Andrew till evening and I went to the hospital. "Good morning," I greeted as I stepped in."Good morning babe," He reciprocated. His eyes were on the screen of his laptop, probably trying to do some work while in the hospital. "You shouldn't be doing this," I frowned and laid Andrew beside him. "I can't let you
A Little Like Fate Chapter 71
DELIA I finally knocked on the door and when I heard a reply, I opened the door and walked inside. Levi's head was buried inside a book. I felt like crying. A few weeks back, he was lying almost lifeless but there he was, stronger and healthier. All thanks to the almighty for sparing his life. "Hi," I said. He must have thought I was a nurse or a doctor and that's why he didn't bother to check. But after I made my entrance recognizable by speaking, he looked away from his book. A smile was plastered on my face as I moved toward him. "How are you feeling today?""Better than ever." He replied. "Uhm... Here. I got these for you. Hospital meals are terrible sometimes and so, I got you a meal." I stretched the hug package toward him and he accepted it. "Thanks. You saved me yesterday with the meal you sent through Javan. Thanks again." He said and I smiled. I was definitely planning on toasting Javan after now. I specifically told him not to mention my name and just say the food wa
A Little Like Fate Chapter 70
LEVI "Thank you all so much. I feel so loved." I touched my chest in gratitude. Seeing my employees visiting me when I'm not well was something to be grateful for. It proved that I was a good boss to them and what better than having a good employer-employee relationship at a place of work? "Thank you very much. I really appreciate the gifts." "Get well soon, sir. We miss you a lot." One of them said. I didn't spot two significant in the crowd; Evans and Delia. I knew Evans hated me and was probably sulking somewhere because I was still alive but what I didn't understand was why Delia wouldn't come to see me. To be honest, she was the first person I was expecting to see. Was it that she didn't care if I died or not? Soon after the celebration of my coming back to life, everyone except Javan left. I sighed, I was hurt by her absence. Why was she bent on killing me? Why did I even bother waking up? "Delia made this," Javan stretched a bag toward me. I stared at it for some seconds b
A Little Like Fate Chapter 69
DELIA Every day was busy for me, coupled with the fact that I had to take care of a baby. It wasn't easy at all. At work, I had to do the job of a CEO and also work my position. If not for Javan who was always there to look after Andrew, I would have broken down. The printing of the book was around the corner and Levi was still not up. He was the key part of everything and his condition always kept me up. I had developed insomnia and it was getting worse every day. I don't get sleep and even if I try to sleep, I don't do it enough. I don't sleep more than two hours a day. I was drowning in the pressure. It's in over my head. I don't know why I thought I could do this. But still, I couldn't find myself stopping. I was doing it because of Levi. I didn't want him to think of anything work when he wakes up. All he needed to do was rest, rest, and rest. No stress is allowed in his zone. When Javan walked into the office, I looked at him with hopeful eyes but he gently shook his head.
A Little Like Fate Chapter 68
DELIA "How is he?" I asked, sniffing at the end of my question. Andrew was playing with my dress, chewing the buttons on it but I didn't bother. Javan looked at me and sighed. "Be honest with me, Javan. Don't think about lying because I will still find out." "The doctor said he might not make it out alive." He said with a deadpan expression. "There were lots of alcohol in his system. He is almost as good as dead." I sighed heavily as fresh tears rolled down my cheeks. "He can't do this to me. This is all my fault." I wept bitterly. "No, no, don't think like that. None of this is your fault. He was just reckless. We should just pray a miracle happens and he comes out alive." "I should have just called him after that night. He must have thought I was joking ot trying to play games with him. And you tell me not to blame myself?" I grabbed a tissue and blew into it. "It's not your fault. It's his fault for driving when drunk." He scoffed. "Don't worry about it." "What? I have al
A Little Like Fate Chapter 67
LEVI I didn't know how many days but I hadn't gone to work since the club meeting. I was somehow devastated because I knew I would never come back to see Delia, despite the promise. But there was another thought in my head. What if she was just doing this to pay me back for what happened? What if she knew I really loved her and she wanted me to feel every atom of guilt and probably die of it? What if all those actions were fake and she just wanted to see me suffer? The hot, steamy night was all just a ploy then. But then again, I couldn't just conclude without confronting her. She hadn't called since that day and my assumptions were beginning to seem true. My heart ached a lot and my eyes watered. Why was she doing this? I looked to my side and picked up the half bottle of vodka. I had earlier finished six bottles and it wasn't afternoon yet. I had finished more than a crate in less than a week. I was gradually turning into a shadow of myself and there was no one to pull me out.
