Clarissa,"Where have you been all this while? Have been searching for you." I asked with annoyance mixed in my speech."I am so sorry that I had to take some distance," Aiden replied nervously. He tilted his hair in an awkward manner."Why did you go so long? Is it that you don't love me?" I halted in my speech and looked in his eyes, to see how he was going to react, "We are both expecting a baby." I placed my hands on my belly and began contouring it in invisible strokes."Do you mean you are expecting my baby? That's good news. Have always wanted to be a father, and I'm glad you are about to give me that opportunity." Aiden said. He took me in his arms."Will you marry me?" He knelt and presented a ring before me.At this point, I heard someone rubbing her hands on my wrist. I gasped before waking up from my long sleep."Oh, calm down darling. What's the matter?" Virginia addressed me. She wore a surprised face."It was just a dream." I placed my hands on my aching head."What dre
Aiden,The past few days for me has being hell. The Billionaires' Award is coming up in a month, and this whole shit is stressing me out. Not only have I been nominated for three awards, but I'm to host a party after that. Have never experienced this issue before, so I don't know how it works.Not withstanding, I got an invitation from a publishing house. That's where I rendered myself this morning before resuming for work. I must say their offer was tempting and also ridiculous at the same time.Mrs. Charlotte Lamenz, the chief executive officer of Worldwide Publishing Ltc, wants to write a book about my firm. In this book, she wants everything about me to the published.Thinking of it, it was a good and a bad idea. Good because I was going to be exposed to more people than before, but the bad side of it was that I was going to become my haters' object, as through this book, they were going to try by all means to tarnish my reputation.Frankly speaking I had to think about all that b
Clarissa,An alarm ranged annoyingly beside my bed and I angrily slammed the buzzer. I had been sleeping since yesterday at 6 pm trying to run away from what I saw. The little toddler in me made it impossible for me to kill myself in drinking. Hence, drugging myself to a long night sleep was the only option."Damn, my head ache." I let out as I struggled to step down from the bed. My eyes were blurry making it impossible for me to see where I was placing my foot. I had to hold the edge of my bed to help control my steps. After struggling for some minutes, I managed to get to the bathroom. I washed my face, my body and dressed. After which I closed the room door behind me. I was heading to the kitchen to make something for myself. By this time of the day, I’m sure Virginia must have prepared already.“Oh, there you come. I was about to come pick you up. Please seat down and have something.” She said, her voice echoing down my system.This baby I’m carrying has brought a change in Virg
Aiden,It’s Monday morning, and I’m looking as hot as hell. This is because I accepted Mrs. Charlotte’s proposal. The proposal of appearing on her next book. Last night, I got an email from her team, requesting some photo shoots for the cover of the book. This is something I’m not quite open to, but for the sake of this project, have got to give it my all. I took some time to go through some of her past achievements and I could tell she really has influence. This is going to help me get the exact influence I have being craving for.Not to say I am not famous. In the city, most of the people know me for the business maniac I am. Apart from my businesses, I haven’t been able to create another life for myself. I just want to prove to my family and the rest of the world that although I ain’t married, I can create a life out of my business.Dressed in a deep crimson trouser, made of silk chiffon, light-coloured shirt and a pair of brown brogues, I glared at myself through the mirror oppo
Clarissa,Pecking my lips softly and watching the image on the TV screen display, I coiled my hair in between my index finger with a sigh of frustration.Today is the D day, and our degree results were meant to be published. I couldn't afford the transport fare to my school, so Virginia; my flatmate and best friend offered to get to school and verify our results. She left two hours ago. She hasn't called nor texted and I'm beginning to get worried.As much as I wanted to keep calm, I still resented some nervousness. I gave it my all and I didn't want to fail the final exams.I had no money to start all over.I needed a decent job to pay for the bills which kept piling up.The ringing sound of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. Seeing Virginia's number displayed on my phone, I sat upright before answering the call, "Hello," I said, my voice growing softer."We finally did it. As I speak to you now, we are the latest degree holders in town," She said, her deep husky voice booming th
Aiden,TWO HOURS BEFORE GETTING TO ST JOHN'S TOP PLAZA."Here is the contract Sir, please sign them." I shoved the documents to the CEO of resourcing factors Ltd.He was requesting a three-year contract with my company. In this contract, it stated I was going to supply his company with crude oil for the next three years. It was indeed a big achievement. It wasn't easy for a young firm of mine to be the sole supplier of crude oil to an already established firm.The CEO of resourcing factors Ltd held a blue pen and ran his signature in between the lines. A whopping 10 billion deal it was!!!!"That said, we would take our leave. It was a pleasure doing business with your company." We both exchanged a handshake before he dismissed himself.I was exhausted and wanted to get home, take a cold bath and lie on my bed for some hours. I needed to get back to work, sourcing different markets that were ready to consume my products.My office door push opened, revealing the features of Anthony Mil
Clarissa,I groggily opened my eyes and found myself lying in a royal king bed. I felt a dull pain on my forehead as I creased it gently. My vision blurred as I tried opening my eyes, breathing in and out softly. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm to help clear my vision.Just then, I realized I was surrounded by blood. Oh no, I gasp and jerked off the bed cover from my petite body. I was naked! Last night was magical, I guess I gasped because it was my first time. After the third round of f***ing in every single damn corner of the room, I slept off.Aiden was not in bed when I got up. I'm sure he went downstairs to command our food. Isn't he romantic? He was the perfect type every woman needed by their side.Getting down from the bed to arrange myself seductively before he returned, I mistakenly pushed the bed cover to the floor. While picking it up, a note flew across. I picked it up and went through it. It stated, 'Let's forget this ever happened!' "What?!" my eyes widened
Aiden,It's been over two days since the incident with the lady at the club occurred. She hasn't cashed out the cheque I deposited at the head bed. Is she trying to play saints? Cause I don't see any person who gets the opportunity to get some money and refuses to grab it Well, I don't give a f*ck if she decides to grab the money or not. The most important thing is I paid her. The last thing I want to see now is her face, cause I'm suffering already for what happened that night.That said, I packed my Bugatti la Voiture noire in the parking lot and got out of there, heading to my office. There's this Toyota Camry I noticed in the garage. It has been following me for quite some days now. I don't know if I'm hallucinating but whatever the case is, I got important things to attend to first.My head is crowded up with stuff, and worst of all, my mum called two hours ago to let me know her private jet will touch down in my city in the next three hours. She was perhaps my mother, but the

Aiden,The weekend has been a long one for me, busy and most especially noisy. I took it as an advantage to renew my wardrobe and run other errands I knew I wouldn't be able to do throughout the week.Mom left one week ago, which gave me that liberty I had been missing.My countenance was filled with surprise when I spotted Miller and Gabriel shopping in the same boutique as me."Aiden, is that you?" Gabriel stated. His grin widened as he watched me with surprise written all over his face."Yes, as you can see for yourself." I said firmly."Long time no see. How many years is that? That should be three years ago." He said, his face covered with smirks."Yeah! You are right, it's been three years." I said annoyance mixed in my speech.Gabriel is an old friend from the university. We attended the same schools and even started a business together. That's when we were very young and naive. At that time, we were just trying to follow our parents steps who were all billionaires.After the f
Charles wale,Have been standing at the other section of the road for the past forty-five minutes, waiting for my so-called brother to show up himself. He walked into the building and have only been seeing him from the glass windows. I don't want to miss a single detail concerning his life.In mid-rise jeans, a button-down shirt, and a baseball cap covering my face. My one hand was tucked in my jean, and the other hand was placed on my cap to help control and have a broad view of Aiden's activity.While observing him, I momentarily piped at the Kia Picanto that was wrongly parked in front of the bank. That car belonged to an old friend of mine. If anything happens to it, then I'm good as dead. I promised to pay him double once I sort out this issue. I changed my car because I noticed Aiden had remarked on my Toyota. It was no longer safe for me to walk around with it.Okay, okay… That's him, he just walked out in a silver coat. He was talking to a huge personality, who in turn smiled
Clarissa,I'm in the kitchen trying to make something for myself. It's the third time I tried making something, but my stomach won't just accommodate it. I tried taking French toss and tea, but it didn't sink down, I flushed it and made matched potatoes and grilled chicken. Still, my stomach rejected it. I'm now trying to prepare African jellof with enough pepper. Hope the baby will accept it this time, I need him or her to understand that we don't have enough money to live a fancy life.After stewing everything and placing it on fire, I returned quickly to the living room to continue the football match that I paused. The hormones these days are causing terrible things to my system. To the point that I seat in front of the TV and watch football, my baby will surely be a boy."Hey, isn't that something burning?" I heard Virginia's voice from the interior.Hehe, I jumped out of my chair, and before I could realize it, I slipped down the floor. I totally forgot I placed a cup of water on
Aiden,The elevator door dings open, with my briefcase in hand, I walked out and quickly reached to my office. I removed my coat jacket and arranged it behind my chair. Next, I went through the already scattered files which were on my table. I had to go through the proposals that I received.I already signed a contract with Mac borel's firm last month. This happened in Singapore. After that, I received another proposal from a oil and gas firm in Thailand, he was requesting a five years contract but he couldn't provide a decent price for my services. I don't work for peanuts. Nope, I don't do that. I already proved to the entire world that my firm has the best service ever.What I find surprising about this is the fact that I have not been paying full attention to my job, especially with my mom who hasn't allowed me to rest by myself since she arrived.Her last visit didn't end well because of the constant harassment from her path and now she's back. The only good thing here is that sh
Clarissa,TWO MONTHS LATER It's been over two months now since I got my degree. I spent most of my time searching for a decent job. I was tired of working for Paddy Bio, given that it didn't fit what I studied in school. Also, I found it nasty.Two months of submitting my CV in different structures. But each time I walked into any of them, I was asked the same question. "Who sent you here?" Like, if you had no one important in society, you could not work for one of the big companies in the area. Is that what life was all about? I guess a poor, low-key lady like me had no place in society.Unable to find a job for the moment, I was home managing the little cents Virginia left me every morning before going to work. Her attitude towards me changed since the day I spent the night with that good-for-nothing soul. She felt responsible for what happened that night, but I didn't blame her at all. Maybe it was written in my destiny that the person who was going to take my virginity away from
