2024-10-29 19:42:56Hmm... I can count the times Eros has humiliated me. Anyway, I don’t think it would be wise to discuss personal issues with his personal assistant. Eros wouldn’t want such a relationship.
“He is. I just want to know how you maintained your stance. I am sure there were others before you.”“I simply earned his respect. Our relationship is always hanging on a thin thread. But he can’t find another person like me.” He shrugged proudly.“Are you in a relationship, Mr. Isaiah?” I ask sceptically. He seemed young to me yet full of wisdom. It must be why he is the personal assistant to Eros. He knew when to stop prying and didn't act nosy.He nodded enthusiastically. “Yes. We have been together for six months now.”My eyes widened at the revelation. “That’s great! What’s her name? What does she do?” not that I need these pieces of information but I should at least know something about someone I am about to get information from.“Tracey Sharpe. She is the personal assRelated chapters

The attendant glanced uncertainty at the clothes on the rack. They were the most expensive clothes she could find. And she doubted I had the money to purchase them.Well, she is in for a surprise. “All?” I dismissed her confused look.She nodded affirmatively with her hands folded in submission. “All.”I kissed the roof of my tongue while glaring at the labels and price tag on them. They were insanely expensive. I have a black card and I was going to use it.There was no way I’d have come here with a regular card. The label tags read West Inc.Just great.“West? As in West Incorporated?” I spelt it out for her, sighing when she nodded vehemently. She didn’t have to make it so obvious.Then a small smile found its way to her lips. “I have seen you on television.”I was wrong. She wasn’t wondering if I could pay for these clothes. She was wondering why I am here. What am I doing here? I just came out of West Inc. I turned to the clothes from Eros and sh

Perspiration poured from her forehead even when the AC was on. That’s right, work your ass out, young lady without control!“You didn’t take that,” I shot at the manager who was just standing around, ordering them. She followed my gaze.“What?” She asked, puzzled at the direction of my eyes. It was a rack filled with different handbags. I must be crazy doing all these. But the truth is I was bound to go shopping one of these days.Unfortunately, Emily isn’t with me to guide me. Today of all days...The woman refused to show a hint of surprise. She must be used to all these. “Right away ma’am,”At the end of it all, there were about fifty bags filled with clothes, twenty filled with handbags from different designers and thirty five boxes of hand made shoes.It was estimated to be over ten thousand dollars. It didn’t sound small to me and for a moment I wondered if Eros would be pleased or furious.Would he even notice such a small amount missing from his a

“Mr. Spencer,” Eros smirked at the older man in front of me. He looked like a butler... Of course he is! I mentally palmed my head at my conclusion. And here I was thinking Eros hated people generally.The old man was in his full butler attire. Like the stereotypes you’d see on television. Sprinkles of grey hair, boyish face, thin shoulders and long legs poised in elegance.His hands were covered in gloves.Eros picked us at exactly six. But not before dumping a load of surprises on my Dad. Then to pacify him, I gave him the suit. I didn’t tell him it was from Eros and there were only two in the world.He may keep it in his closet and never wear it. I couldn’t have that. I would love to do that to this gown but I found myself being persuaded by Emily’s calm voiceShe really knew how to use that to her advantage all the time. When I mentioned Hera West, she would hear none of it. Although I could hear the pain in her voice as she told me to wear it.She really

“Do you want to know what isn’t fair?” She turned to the boy who was slightly trembling. “All of you are like some parasites. Do you know what isn’t fair? You Nicholas, Avery and Theodore! Do you want to know what isn’t fair? The fact you were given to me when I asked the big guy up there for perfect children!” she screamed. Then her facade changed in a second. She was just like Eros. A minute of yelling and a second dose of calmness. The resemblance was creepy.The hall was really quiet.“That’s enough Athena,” Eros intervened and I fell in love with his voice. Such a peace-making voice... I think I heard her name at the fashion show. It didn’t occur to me that she was the one called Athena. Athena, a divorcee with three identical kids.It must be hard for her. I don’t know anything about kids but I was sure this wasn’t a way to treat them. The three of them were as still as a rock.“Now,” Athena started, ignoring Eros’ firm voice. “Get out your tablets and stay bus

Miranda placed earphones over Aiva’s ear. The triplets already had one the moment their mother finished with them.I was still thinking about what Athena said when the door opened to reveal miniature Eros.“My beautiful family,” He announced, causing me to raise an eyebrow in surprise. Finally, someone with joy.Or so I thought.“Whoa... Icarus and... Miranda? Jeez. This family couldn’t be any more weird,” He said in a funny time and I was tempted to laugh.It was funny that he was a part of that type of family. Wait a minute... He is a comedian! Ajax West... Yeah, I’ve seen him once or twice when going through the channels at home.I should have recognised him that night but I was just too busy.He turned to me with the same look of yesterday night. It was as if he was disgusted with me and at the same time mesmerised. His face held a charming smile but I’d choose Eros’ over his anytime.To me, He seems more normal than the rest. Maybe I could be his

Eros’ POVI was still getting over Athena’s harsh words to her children when Ajax came in. I can tolerate Athena’s haughty words and Echo’s annoying ones but I can’t just tolerate Ajax’s clownish ones. They pricked me like thorns.“My beautiful family,”Christ.. it’s the family clown again. Looking at my phone was better than staring at my clown of a brother.He circled the table obnoxiously. “Whoa... Icarus and... Miranda? Jeez. This family couldn’t be any more weird,”I rolled my eyes at his lame attempt to crack a joke. How pathetic can he be? The only thing I worried about was how Dalia would cope in this meeting. I have managed to lay down rules for her own protection but it seems she has a mind of her own.Her Dad preferred to sleep while Dalia watched with confused eyes.She will get used to it.I raised my head to meet Ajax staring at me. Mischievousness twinkled in his eyes. It told me he was about to do something I wouldn’t like.More li

“You are all talk.” I chose to say instead. He is really getting on my nerves by making empty talks. With the corner of my eyes, I see Dalia looking at Ajax and me with fear in her eyes.Oh dear Dalia.. this is how we are when we aren’t in public or in the presence of our parents. We are fucked up and whose fault is that?“Where is Jason?” Icarus’ booming voice interrupted. It had an edge to it. It was obvious he was trying to distract us. This is why I dislike Icarus sometimes. He was too nonchalant for my liking. The elderly ones were not elderly at all.Athena and Icarus couldn’t come in between Ajax and I. Yet I took Icarus' question as an opportunity to retreat.I just have to warn Ajax. “You won’t disrespect my woman in my presence, don’t do that again.”But Ajax wasn’t ready to back down yet. He banged both hands on the table causing everyone to glare at him in annoyance. Mr. Thompson didn’t even flinch.“I’ll do however I want! You son of a bitch! You

Eros' POVFather cleared his throat and I knew he was about to add something to the things she said. “They came for tea.”They expected us to share in their joy, I guess. But with what had happened? I don’t think that was possible. We always did things like this behind their backs so if anyone told them about our uncultured behaviour, they would never believe it.Just like they didn’t believe Hera then.My sister, Echo clapped her hands obnoxiously. She was trying so hard, so hard to please mother and father. If mother can’t see in between her smiles, then they will never understand us. “Mother! I am so proud of you. It isn’t everyday we get to host important people.”“I am joyous, mother,” Athena raised her head up. It was rare to see Athena smile, so the smile she gave now was more like a grimace.Suddenly, the triplets chose that reason to speak. And they did so at the same time! It gave me goosebumps as I can never get used to it.“Splendid news grand

Dalia's POVThe days went by pretty fast. One afternoon, I was in the hospital, and the next, we were on our way to the West mansion. Eros didn't have to send a message like he usually did."You didn't leave the baby in the house, did you?" I asked Eros who looked better than he did a month ago. He barked out a laugh. "What? I already tucked her in."I sighed in relief. It happened sometimes because we were too preoccupied with each other. If Emily learns of this, she will take the baby from us permanently. I smiled at the thought.We were still in the first paragraph of the chapter. It was beautiful, just like I had always wanted. One time, I heard the maids discussing Betty. What she did when I wasn't around was nasty.Why would she seduce Eros? It was there that I learned that Eros had slept with her one drunken night. My heart sank at the discovery, but it was a long time ago. A long time, yet Eros hasn't said anything about it. Hold on a minute. I don't go about telling him abou

He had received the divorce papers, but they weren't signed. Good.Eros jumped at the vibration of his phone. He hoped it was good news. Then he frowned when he saw Emily plastered across the screen. He picked it up immediately. She hasn't spoken to him in a long time. He knew the reason."Dalia got into an accident. I will send you the address." She hung up and Eros panicked. He tried the number again, but it went straight to voicemail. Then the message came in. She was in Spain! He didn't mind. He would meet her anywhere. All he wanted was for her and the baby to be fine.The maids watched with hands folded as he turned the house upside down while preparing for the journey.They no longer saw Bethany Woods because they overheard Eros rejecting her during a heated moment. He said he loved Dalia and she was his wife. Betty had left with anger. Now, she has lost Eros as a friend too.***********It was a drunken mistake. Nick had swerved right into an upcoming truck.

It was a month until Thanksgiving. It's been two months since Dalia left the house. She didn't even take her belongings except for her phone.She had left his black card on the bed.Eros was a mess. He had gotten thinner. His eyes sank in. He was a shadow of himself. He didn't think she would take his words seriously and disappear for two months. There were no pictures, no news, nothing!His phone vibrated. It was the officer who caught the burglar months ago. Adkins. "Have you found her?""No." came his disappointing reply.It has been like that. Every call was disappointing.When Eros arrived at the office, he didn't know that all eyes were on him, watching his every mood. His staff avoided him like the plague. Not because he was angry, but because of how tired he sounded and looked."Jeez." Sara muttered under her breath. She was consoling Tracy. Her boss won't be coming to the office forever! Or so she thought. "I don't know what to do." She was thinking of calling Jeffrey, but it

The letters! Dalia mentally facepalmed. She should have kept it well. Away from Betty's hideous eyes. She thought she had them hidden.Eros' face was ashen in color and when he didn't say anything in reply, it occurred to Dalia that he already knew about it. Her heart sank deeper. She didn't think about telling him because it was nothing. Maybe when they went to the office the next-day, she would have told him about Nick. Only if he asked!A loud knock on the door pulled Dalia out of her thoughts. Eros sighed, making his way upstairs. "They are here again. Increasing by the minute all because of my foolish wife."'he called me his wife' Dalia realized with sadness. It was at that moment she knew that she fucked up. Now she has Eros in a tight spot. He may not look like it but Eros was enraged. It's just that he just apologized to her yesterday so it seemed like he was tired instead."I am sorry!" Dalia cried out. She didn't know what to say that would soothe him.Eros paused on the se

Dalia paced the room up and down. She was restless and could not place her butt somewhere. "Pick up, Emily!" She gritted out. How did it happen? Nick only grabbed her because she was about to leave! They were not doing anything like whosoever that took the picture was suggesting!Emily picked up at the third ring. "What the hell? Dalia!""Emily! What should I do? I know everyone has seen the picture. I don't think Eros should see it.""Eros should never see it. Go and see for yourself and make sure he doesn't have his phone around him."Dalia nodded, opening her door. She was down the stairs in a flash. "What should I do if he has already seen the picture?""I don't know. You love him, I don't." Emily's downcast voice dampened Dalia's spirit.Dalia could imagine her friend shrugging in helplessness. "I swear, it was a mistake!" She was still explaining to her dearest friend when she saw Eros with his phone. He wasn't looking at it but beyond it. He was looking at her. He knew about th

Dalia's POv.The next morning…I arrived just in time to see Tracy drop another letter on my desk. What is it this time around?! The letters were getting frequent! I am not in the mood for his pranks and silly antiques.I dismissed her quickly, snatching up the letter.I tore it open expecting to find cheesy lines, but I didn't see any."Come to the park by 7:00 p.m.; I have a surprise for you." Why would Eros ask me to come to the pack when he snubbed me on his way to work this morning. What surprise does he have for me? I folded the piece of paper in anger, dumping it into the trash bin.Tracy walked in with a cup of coffee. Just what I needed for my already puffy eyes. "Not in the mood? I have got just the right thing for you." She subtly eyed the dark shades sitting on my nose.I have nothing to say to her.I left work early because, I mean, who can stop me from leaving whenever I want to? Not even Eros, because I am pissed at him.The park was almost empty. It was evening, and

Dalia's POVShe was always right.My dear Emily.Why is she friends with someone as daft as me? She told me to confront Eros about Betty because she was biting more than she could chew. I have decided to take the bull by the horn today.I need to hear from his mouth whether he loves her or not. If he says he loves her, I will move out of the way, give birth to my baby, and divorce him. The baby won't have to live his life thinking he was born out of wedlock. When it comes to custody of the child, I won't allow him to get away with his misdeeds.The drive home was quiet as usual as I mused over the things Emily told me that afternoon. She expressed her anger for Betty and wished she met the bitch one more time. Her words, not mine.I entered the house to see Eros in aprons. He greeted me with a small smile, which made me confused. He has never smiled like this at me. The last time I saw him smile, only in a bigger version, was with Betty! My mood was already sour and damp."Your food m

Dalia's pOV. I found Emily later that afternoon slurping down her lunch. She had consumed two bowls already. It was noodles and boiled egg. Rosalind's Diner was an old Korean diner that specializes in homemade noodles. I almost snorted when she raised her messy face. A noodle got stuck at the side of her chin. Today she was putting on a blue belly blouse that revealed her smooth arms and palazzo jeans. From where I stood, I could see her belly button and her shaved armpit when she drank from the plate. "Eating lunch without me." Emily paused only to look at me before going back to her meal. "That's why I suggested this place." She said with mouth full. She looked wicked whenever she did that. "And I foolishly agreed with you." I turned to the woman sitting behind the counter. "A bowl of noodles and fried egg. Add extra spring onions, and chili." At the look of her confused face, I pointed at my baby bump. A look of realization clouded the form
