“Why can't he just stop?” Rowan paced in his closet.

Everything his grandad had told him replayed like a tape in his head, rewinding occasionally to the parts where he said things of great significance.

He ran his hand exasperatedly through his hair as he walked out of his large frabjously illuminated closet and into his bedroom. He paced the area around his bed then sat on his bed.

“I like Page. No, I love her and I cannot watch another man sway her off her feet and make her desert me. For days, weeks and months now I have admired and adored her but only lied to myself every single time. I cannot contain my feelings. I cannot keep my feelings hidden anymore lest my heart would explode watching Will profess his undying love for my irresistible wife that has caught the preying eyes of menacing men ready to pounce like predators at any given time,” he reasoned.

He fell back on his bed and stared at the ceiling for more than thirty minutes, trying to decide what he thought was right to

    Katherine handed Page her cup of coffee as she got into the car beside her. A waft of its sweet aroma danced around her nostrils, causing her to beam. What would I do without her, she smiled.In her hand was exactly what she needed. A cup of Nitro cold brew. She had made it a venti with sugar-free vanilla syrup, mocha sauce, an extra splash of oat milk, caramel sauce-lined cup, three shots of blonde espresso roast, cinammon powder on top with no whipped cream. Page was stressed and Katherine knew that at that time of the day, the higher Page's stress, the more caffeinated her drinks had to be. Page was headed for her fifth meeting that day. Surprisingly, it was just noon. She sipped from her straw and ordered her chauffeur to continue driving. They were on their way to the corporation Simon wanted to transfer ownership to them, the hotel. An apt tour around his hotel was their sole aim that day as the one for his resort had been carried out the previous week. Finalization of her de

    Page had told Katherine about the arrest of Irene and Frank, the persons that actually stole her file. She wasn't entirely convinced that Simon had something to do with it.“How do we know that they are telling the truth? How do we know that they aren't hiding something?" Katherine had asked.“During the three interrogations, they said they were the only ones involved in it. I had initially suspected Simon but he has nothing to do with this,” Page had said, firmly."I just knew he played a role in all these," Katherine said as they trailed the cops car."That man is beastly and evil. Take me to his island in Greece? Have his ‘ideal fun’ with me?” she scoffed.“Anyway, thank you for making me take an audio and video recorder with me to his office. I never knew it would be of great help,” Page said."I was glad to help ma'am,” Katherine beamed, happy that her boss was relieved.After Katherine had told Page that Simon might actually have something to do with the theft of her property, s

    Page blinked incredulously, looking from Rowan to Will then, to the ground. “What is this?" She said under her breath, her breathing hitched and erratic.Beads of sweats began to appear on her face as she taciturnly pleaded for the ground to open up and swallow her. The feeling of guilt was overwhelming; it clouded her vision and sense of reasoning. It felt as though her necklace and bra had become uncomfortably tight, making her feel like she couldn't breathe properly.“Why did I do it? I shouldn't have. I knew I shouldn't have. . ." She shook her head in utter guilt of her actions. She took two steps forward and lost her balance, almost falling back. Before Will and Rowan could reach her to hold her, she balanced herself, took one last glimpse at Rowan and walked out of the office in a haste. All that happened like a flash of lightning. She walked as though someone was on her tail in the company, keeping her gaze down until she was outside and had gotten into her car. She threw

    “They know themselves?”“Yes, they do," Page was pacing Lina's sitting room with a hand on her forehead and the other on her waist."How could that be?” Lina's eyebrows furrowed as she sat down at the edge of a chair."I am on the verge of going crazy Lina. My head is ticking like an atomic bomb,” Page sat on the chair parallel to Lina's. “How bad do you think this is?"“Beyond measure. Rowan as well as his grandad was there. The look on Rowan's face when I looked at him before walking out of that office made me regret everything I did. Unknowingly making matters worse, I did not properly acknowledge Rowan presence. I called Will's name before his, making it evident that we know ourselves really well. That's exactly how bad it is Lina, beyond measure,” Page cried out, dragging her necklace from her neck, cutting it in the process and throwing it to the floor. She was without a doubt, restless. “You have to calm down Page. Panicking wouldn't solve anything," Lina said.“I’m scared Li

    “How could I what?" Page asked, her heart was beating profusely.‘Please Lord, let this not be about what I think it is. Did he find out about my acquittance with Will?’ she cried within. Rowan was getting angrier and impatient. He flung his jacket across the sitting room and got up with a straight face.At this, she was trembled in fear, not liking how mean he looked and acted.“I neither have the time nor the strength to stand here and watch you play dumb with me. I do not like it when people try to take me for a ride. You know too well what I am talking about," Rowan said."Seriously Rowan, I do not have an idea of what you are talking about,” she shook her head slowly with furrowed eyebrows.“Then you would rather I spell it out for you, right? Ok. What relationship do you have with Will? Let's forget he is my best friend as you never knew he was. Let's regard him as another man outside this union. Now, tell me what I need to know," Rowan stony eyes held Page's face."I do not ha

    An unhesitated step after the other, she took, not looking back, not stopping to rethink her decision. No one was around that area at that time of the night so sadly, no one could drag her out and scold her for going that deep into the sea. Technically, Page was a lady with many talents and skills but swimming was not one of them. She only knew the techniques in swimming but never practiced them on her own or succumbed to learning how to swim from her sport instructor. Her slight interest to learn how to swim after Lina had persuaded her got incinerated when she once went on a hangout to the beach with her and watched a man who had said he was a professional swimmer go into the sea to save a little girl who had been swept by a strong wave but never came out. His fiancé –he had engaged her the day before– who had tried to dissuade him from doing so swore to drown herself if he did not get out of the water safely with the little kid. She had screamed and cried and writhed when people

    Lina had kissed Derek goodbye and apologized to him for not being able to go home with him that night. Page's door was locked and Lina was on her bed, sitting with her legs folded whilst Page was laying on the bed in her nightdress, listening to Lina talk.Page had asked Lina how they knew she was on the beach and why they had all come together. She laid quietly as Lina began to vividly explain. She told Page that from the time she left her house to her home till the time she decided to go check up on her, she was apprehensive. Derek had paid her a surprise visit with an alluring bouquet of flowers that consisted of Mallows, Nemophila and Red carnations, all having their significant meanings and sending sweet sentimental messages to her. Mallow is considered an aphrodisiac and can inflame the passion of one who smells it. Nemophila says you are my one and only and Red carnations symbolizes appreciation and eternal love.

    “Cancel my morning meetings Katherine, I have something I have to attend to but I would be at the office before noon. Hopefully,” Page said to Katherine over the phone.“Yes ma'am," Katherine replied before the call came to an end.Page wore her intoxicating but soft floral mix and walked out of her room. Rowan was no where to be seen when she got down the stairs so she comfortably left without having to deal with his presence. She had called her youngest chauffeur that morning because she did not feel like driving. He opened the door to the car she felt like going to work in that morning; a flashy red car.“You look extraordinary today Miss Page,” he complemented her."Thank you. New day, new me,” she smiled and got into the car when she took off her sunglasses.Her chauffeur didn't understand her statement fully but brushed it off and closed the door. She rocked an entirely different style that morning. She was on a cream long-sleeved shirt and likewise, a cream loose-fitting high-

    EpilogueAgain, nothing beats family.Yes, there would always be fights, arguments and trials but then again, what are relationships without all of that. Quarrels being settled after a little period of distancing from one another, just a little, only makes the bond between them stronger. That, I say, is a fact very well proven if you in anyway doubt this theory.“How could you have thought that I hide such a sensitive information from you without ever planning to tell you at some point?” Page asked Rowan in disbelief."Well, you didn't tell me yourself did you? I had to find out from someone else,” Rowan replied, pissed but not screaming too loudly. “Why are you seeing it that way?”"Because it's what it is Cupcake. How else do you want me to take it?” He asked, taking off his hand that was on his forehead and looking at her.They were in their bedroom, Page seated on the bed, facing Rowan while he was standing in front of the wall, his back leaning against it.“I didn't tell you th

    A hand stretched to where she had sat, Page picked up the small envelope Will had dropped before leaving. The square shaped envelope was white, the little designs on it, gold. Into her bag she dropped it and walked out of the place.A sad feeling sat at the center of her heart as she wished nature would have been nice enough to not have made them meet in the way and time they had met. She was saddened by the fact that things had to go the way they did and she could not be friends with her husband's best friend. It was disheartening. Sadly, the hands of time could not be turned and past actions could not be rewritten or changed. A concise moment of thoughts and she finalized that all the blame was to be accorded to them, the sometimes despicable humans and not nature because undeniably so, humans have will in the palm of their hands. Decisions and actions; rights and wrongs; good and evil; all rest in the palm of our hands so why constantly blame nature… or fate for some of the predic

    Rowan forced Page out of bed on Tuesday morning and stayed in the bathroom as she took her bath to make sure she didn't go back to bed when he left the room. She had pleaded with him to let her stay at home but he didn't think it was a good idea. He reckoned that they had had three days of rest for themselves and it was time to get back to work.“You’re a CEO Page," he had said to her as he rolled off their duvet from her body for the third time. He had driven her to work after they had had breakfast and on the way, revealed to her that their head chef was his nanny he had told her about. She cared so much for him that she opted to be his head chef instead of leaving him when he was grown to the point that he could take care of himself. Page was shocked at his revelation. She had hit him and scolded him for not letting her in on that kind of information early enough for her to reverence her as she ought to. Making a mental note to thank her for all that she did for Rowan, she retreat

    “Wear the blue dress, it would suit the cool atmosphere better,” Rowan replied to Page's question, buttoning up his blue shirt before putting on his white, pristine loose-fitting trouser.“Okay baby," Page said as she put down the other dress she had in her hand on the bed.She decided to do her light makeup before putting on her dress: pigmented nude eyes with smokey creases and ombre, glossy lips. With ease, she rocked the dress Rowan had picked out between the two she had held out for him to see.They had gone up to the master bedroom to take their bath after Page had released him from their tight hug, him carrying her in his arms till he was in front of the room. They had showered differently, Page going in first before him. He had proposed they go on an outing and had told Page to make a decision on the places she wanted to go. As she hadn't made her choice yet, she said nothing about it, thinking hard of the places she wanted to explore together with her husband. “So… where hav

    “My God!” Rowan screamed then released a breath as he jiggled her breasts in his hands and bit her nipples not too hard through her t-shirt. “And you are… you're my Queen. You're my mind blower, my ambrosia, my aphrodisiac. You're my soulmate, my soul's captor and I have to confess that you have rendered me completely powerless around you,” he said softly like he was confessing something which he wanted no one else to hear.Groaning, he took his hands off her breasts and brought his face out of the soace between her breasts. His senses were slowly slipping out from him.“I want to take your tee off Cupcake," he said, snaking his hands underneath her t-shirt and twisting her nipples in the most teasing way ever.Page moaned softly. Music to his ears they were.“Do whatever you want baby," Page uttered, squirming at how good his hands felt on the most sensitive parts of her breasts.“I love it when you call me baby, it sounds so sexy coming from you. I'm your baby,” he said as he took

    “If you keep moaning and grinding on me like that, I fear I might loose my senses and control completely Cupcake," Rowan said in a seductive tone against her lips.Trying to catch her breath, she shook her head.“Loose them Rowan, that's what I want," she said and slammed her lips against his, her growing needs evident in every movement of her lips.Rowan kissed her back, matching up her energy with his once again before finally pulling away.“We need to stop Cupcake. Sex this morning would drain you as you know you had nothing tangible to eat last night. That aside, we just made up,” Rowan reasoned as he held her face so that she would focus on what he was saying and not try to reclaim his lips.“I am not complaining about that Rowan. I want it,” she said in a grumble-like manner."Definitely, you would get it in due time baby but what I do not want is rushing any of this processes. We have a life time to explore ourselves Cupcake but not today," Rowan embraced her when her head drop

    It was ten in the morning and the feeling of waking up had never been more satisfying. Rowan smiled with a refreshing thrill as he opened his eyes, his dreams were finally coming to play. Waking up to watch Page sleep was his first blessing of the morning.His left hand was outstretched across the pillow and had her head on it. He had his other hand over her waist, holding her as close to himself as he could. The memories of the previous night swam into his mind as he moved back a bit to watch Page while his head remained on the pillow.He had thought of giving her her space for the night which led to him walking to his bed after putting on the t-shirt and casual loose fitting trousers he had picked out. Instead of climbing onto the bed as Page had anticipated he would, he had picked up a pillow and walked to his couch. This left Page with a puzzled look invading her features.What does he think he's doing? She had asked herself as she watched him lay on the couch, leaving her to slee
