Although she insisted she could handle it, I couldn’t help but prepare for the worst. I needed to be ready—just in case.

My stomach twisted as I stared down at the documents in front of me. Medical records, dates, and confirmation lines.

“She’s pregnant?” I scoffed, letting out a dry, humorless chuckle, though the annoyance in my voice betrayed the anger simmering beneath the surface.

“Yeah,” Fedrick replied flatly, standing to the side with his hands tucked behind his back. “Four months along, confirmed.”

I gritted my teeth. “What a bastard…”

“What should we do, boss?” Fedrick asked, his tone low and cautious.

I let out a long breath, fingers tapping against the mahogany desk. “I wanted to step in, but she asked me not to. So we’ll keep our distance... for now.”

I spun my chair around, gazing out the window at the rain streaking down the glass.

“Gavin’s the one representing Bianco this time,” I added, voice steely. “I want you to keep both eyes on him. He plays dirty, always has. If

    A soft creak.At first, I don’t think much of it. The hallway outside the hotel suite is quiet, the plush carpet swallowing the sound of my footsteps. I adjust the small gift bag in my hand, my heart light, and excited.Daniel’s promotion had finally come through. The contract I fought tooth and nail for—his golden ticket to the executive level—was finally signed. We did it. We were supposed to celebrate tonight.I lift my hand to knock—then I hear it.A muffled gasp, soft but unmistakable.My breath catches. I tilt my head slightly, straining to hear.Another sound follows—a low, shuddering moan.My fingers tighten around the handle of the bag. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he left the TV on. Maybe—“Oh, Danny…” A woman’s voice sighs his name, filled with pleasure.The world tilts.No.I step back, the blood in my veins turning to ice.It’s not just any voice. I know that voice.Serena.No, no, no—The soft creak turns into a steady, rhythmic sound. A low chuckle rumbles through the door, h

    A sharp hiss of water filled the room, the sound of a shower running somewhere nearby. My head throbbed violently, a slow, insistent pounding that made me groan as I shifted. My limbs felt heavy, as if they belonged to someone else. I blinked against the brightness cutting through the room, my vision a blurry mess of gold and white.Something was off.The bed beneath me was soft—too soft. The sheets smelled expensive, a fresh blend of sandalwood and something faintly citrusy. I inhaled deeply, pressing my face into the plush pillow before realization jolted through me.I wasn’t in my apartment.My breath hitched. The duvet was thick and luxurious, nothing like the thin, scratchy blankets I was used to. I forced my eyes open fully, and my jaw dropped.What. The. Hell?I was in a penthouse.Not just any penthouse—the kind people like me only saw in magazines, in glossy real estate ads we scrolled past on social media while dreaming of another life. The room was massive, all marble floor

    Kasarani was already alive with the rhythm of the city when I arrived—cars honking, street vendors shouting, the crisp morning air thick with the scent of frying mandazis and freshly brewed chai. The clock read nine sharp. I had an hour before I needed to clock in, enough time to gather my wits, process last night’s madness, and maybe—just maybe—convince myself this was all just a fever dream.I exhaled deeply as Federick, stepped out and opened the car door. The warmth of the Nairobi sun kissed my skin as I moved to leave, my mind still weighed down with the events of the night before."Thank you, miss," Fedreck's voice pulled me back to reality.I paused mid-step, turning to him with a frown. "For what?"He offered a small, almost sheepish smile. "You see if you hadn’t agreed to marry the boss, he would have fired me—and I really need this job." His chuckle was nervous, the kind of laugh that carried both relief and remnants of past anxiety.I blinked, stunned. Fired him?"Wait, wh

    Power is everything. People say money can't buy happiness, yet they wake up at the crack of dawn and retire late at night just to chase it. To me, money is everything, and I hate any fool who thinks otherwise. Try messing with it, and you're out. I don’t care what others think. I have a goal, and I am determined to reach it. I must reach it.Just the image of my so-called father, lounging in his executive chair at Bianco Jewelry Enterprises—one of the largest jewelry manufacturing industries across East Africa—makes my blood boil. Especially with that woman beside him. Sitting in the seat that once belonged to my mother.Deep sigh.I will destroy it all. Even if I have to defile logic itself.There’s a deal. The Grand Gold Gala Awarding ceremony. Being his son gives me an advantage—a direct pass to acquire an even stronger ally and join the Cardinal Seven, the elite power circle he’s part of. They gave me two conditions. First, get married. Second, win the GGG. I have to produce the r

    I already expected him to be harsh. Rude, even. But this?Pathetic.The design had already been approved, yet he spat on it like it was filth beneath his feet. Like my work, my effort wasn’t even worth a glance. The arrogance, the sheer audacity, burned through me, but what burned more was the truth in his words. Damn it. That was too much.Still, watching Daniel stammer under his scrutiny had been satisfying. I should have enjoyed it more. But all I could hear, all I could replay in my head, was his voice."Disgusting. An insult to disgust."I didn’t even realize I had moved until my heels clicked sharply against the marble floor. He was heading for the elevator. I followed. Just as the doors were about to slide shut, I slipped inside, pressing my hand against the cold steel frame.His gaze flickered to me, bored, detached. “What do you want?”The doors sealed, enclosing us in a space thick with tension.I pressed the emergency stop button. The elevator lurched to a halt.His head sn

    The air inside the boardroom was thick with tension, the kind that settled between unspoken words and silent glares. No one dared to breathe too loudly. We were all waiting for the inevitable—the verdict.Jade Jewelry was situated in Roosters, housed within a ten-floor building. We occupied the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, with the sixth serving as our design studio and the seventh reserved for board meetings. Initially, the building accommodated various businesses, but ever since Lush acquired the entire property, some of them had begun relocating.That’s right, Mr. Almighty doesn’t like his business aligning with other businesses. So we are expecting new changes. Don’t get the wrong idea, Lush headquarters is in CBD, a seven-star building. I’d been there once for a product launch, and the sheer extravagance had left an imprint on me—red carpets rolled over polished floors, walls lined with gold-trimmed panels, and chandeliers that dripped luxury. It was the very definition of u

    A marriage of convenience. Contracts were needed. Certain lines were supposed to be defined, but for some reason, I found it amusing to tease her.The way her eyes widened, her expression shifting from confusion to guarded caution, yet beneath it all, an innocence that was almost too easy to rattle. Her hands hung behind her back, her posture tense, as if she was both resisting and submitting at the same time. Even with her guard up, she was so easy to fluster."So, do tell me," I mused, leaning slightly closer, my voice deliberately laced with amusement. "Will kissing you to prove you're my wife be a breach of contract?"Her lips parted, a small, startled sound escaping before she stammered, "Well, umh..."I smirked, enjoying how she struggled for words. "Sorry to tell you, but I might have to kiss you quite a lot. Even more than your ex did," I said, watching her reaction closely. "I can refer to him as your ex, right?""Well, yeah," she mumbled, still staring up at me in a trance-l

    A high-pitched ringing buzzed in my ears, distant at first, then swelling, consuming everything. My head felt heavy like it had been stuffed with cotton, but the weight wasn’t enough to dull the sharp, pulsing ache at my temples. I tried to move, but a dull throb shot up my arm, pinning me down before I could register what was wrong.Bright light poured through my closed eyelids, forcing them to flutter open. The world blurred—a sterile white ceiling, recessed lights that hummed softly, and the unmistakable scent of antiseptic hanging thick in the air. Something beeped nearby, a steady, rhythmic sound that only intensified the ringing in my head. Hospital. The realization struck as I blinked, my vision swimming into focus.A murmur of voices drifted in from the side, muffled at first, then sharpening into distinct figures. My father. Vincent. Antony. They were here.I turned my head slightly, ignoring the protest of my sore muscles. Vincent was seated beside me, his posture stiff, han

    KURTISI was heading out for a meeting with some shareholders. The game was about to start, all thanks to Mr. Abdalla’s push. It should’ve been a good day.But fate always had its way of pulling the rug.The moment we stepped out of the house, the sky cracked open and rain began to pour, thick and unrelenting.Just as I was sliding into the backseat, Fedrick’s voice cut through the hum of the downpour.“Sir… isn’t that Miss Evelyn?”I looked up sharply, eyes narrowing at the figure stepping out of a cab just beyond the gate. My breath caught.It was her.Standing alone in the pouring rain—no coat, no umbrella, not even a shawl. Just the same dress she wore earlier that morning. Her hair clung to her cheeks, makeup ruined, her body trembling beneath the weight of the storm.“What the hell…?” I muttered, already flinging the car door open.Without thinking, I tore off my coat and rushed toward her, ignoring the rain as I wrapped it around her frail, soaked frame. Her lips parted, eyes w

    You know, at this point, something like this shouldn’t shake me.But it does.Not because I’m seeing it again. God knows this scene is becoming a rerun at this point.What kills me—what burns right through my chest—is that he was the one who texted me. Urgently. Like something life-changing couldn’t wait another second. And then he brings her? And has the nerve to let me walk right into this mess like it’s some twisted open invitation?“Evelyn… I… it’s not what you think,” Dan stammers, keys slipping between his trembling fingers like guilt he can’t quite hold onto.I mean, seriously?His tie’s half-looped like he yanked it loose in a rush, three buttons undone, shirt disheveled like it had been clawed open. His coat’s just lying there on the floor, like it gave up trying to hold any dignity for him.I feel my throat tightening, the betrayal pressing hard against my ribs.“What’s the meaning of this?” I ask, breathless, my voice cracked between fury and disbelief. “If you’re going to

    “Next Saturday, I want to take you out for lunch. Just the two of us,” Victoria whispered as Fedrick parked the car.I glanced at her with a teasing smile. “Well, if you’re buying, then why not?”We both chuckled softly.“Then it’s a date.”After a few parting goodbyes, we climbed into the car. The air inside felt thick—charged with tension, emotions, or maybe it was just my stupid heart acting up again. It couldn’t handle being around him without doing backflips in my chest.So, I did what any sane person would do when someone’s presence starts messing with your thoughts—I avoided looking at him altogether. I cracked the window open just a little and let the wind graze my face, focusing on anything outside that wasn’t him.As usual, he was completely absorbed in his laptop, typing away like the world around him didn’t exist.“What did you talk about with Victoria?” he asked, smooth as silk.“Nothing. Just girl talk,” I replied lightly, hoping he’d drop it.Silence followed. But it wa

    Her breath was soft—gentle, almost rhythmic. By now, she was deep asleep. Completely gone.And yet I… I couldn’t take my eyes off her.The taste of her lips still lingered—faint but maddeningly present. They were slightly swollen, kissed raw by me, and my tongue kept chasing the memory like it wasn’t ready to let go.I’ve kissed a lot of women.Some were tactics—tools in the mess of scandals I used to orchestrate. Others were fleeting distractions, faces I barely remember now. But her?Evelyn was different.Every time I kissed her, something inside me shifted. My chest tightened, my pulse raced like I’d never done it before. There was this strange, almost helpless ache in me—like I could kiss her for hours and still want more.And now, lying beside her… watching her sleep?God.How the hell can someone be so damn beautiful doing nothing but breathing?Her lips were parted, ever so slightly, letting out the softest little sighs—almost a whisper. The kind of breath that brushed again

    The mood in the dining room was nothing short of suffocating as we served them, the tension hanging thick like unspoken truths in the air. Victoria—God, that woman could talk. A chatterbox dressed in pearls and sharp smiles. Yet, oddly enough, it wasn’t unbearable. If anything, it was...refreshing.Back when I lived with Grace and Genny, our conversations rarely ever wandered past rating men like fruit at a market, dissecting rumors, or planning the next night out. Emotional depth? Unheard of. But this—this back-and-forth with Victoria, layered with teasing and half-truths and guarded warmth—might just be the longest, most grounded conversation I’d had with another woman in years. And as odd as it sounds, I didn’t hate it.Victoria set the steaming pot of stewed pork at the center of the table. “What’s with the mood?” she asked, her voice slicing through the silence as she adjusted the sleeves of her velvet blouse.The maid beside her moved quietly, expertly laying down the final pie

    It was drizzling when we arrived in Loresho—soft, persistent drops tapping against the windshield like a steady whisper of warning. The clouds above were a pale, bruised gray, smearing across the sky like an old memory. Mist swirled low over the road, clinging to the lush hedges lining the estate as the car glided smoothly into the heart of the private, high-end enclave—Loresho Block 1027.Inside the car, the atmosphere was thick with silence and something unspoken. The faint hum of the engine was barely audible beneath the soft RnB jazz playing low on the radio. The smooth saxophone curled into the air like a lullaby, wrapping the space in an oddly calming warmth—calm before the storm.I was tense, my fingers occasionally tapping the door armrest as I stared ahead. My mind raced with a thousand outcomes. Just one mistake… and we’d both go down. Abdalla wasn’t stupid. Suspicious, maybe. Controlling, definitely. And a marriage that sprouted overnight? That wouldn’t fly under his radar

    “Huh! The outlook looks better!” Denis exclaims, her eyes scanning the sketch with approval.But I barely hear her. My focus is locked onto Serena and Daniel. The way they lean into each other, whispering, giggling—so obnoxious, so infuriating. Every little chuckle grates against my nerves, like nails screeching down a chalkboard. They don’t even try to be subtle. It’s disgusting.“Right, what do you think about the boss’ suggestion?” Daina’s voice cuts through my thoughts. She’s standing beside Denis, and as always, Victor trails behind her like a silent shadow. The two of them have been helpful with material suggestions, but right now, my patience is thin.“Yeah, it’s sick,” Victor finally speaks, stuffing his hands into his pockets. “Five thousand for a design that would impress him? That’s insane.”“So you in, then?” Denis teases with a sly chuckle.“Fuck right,” Victor mutters, shaking his head in disbelief.It’s only been four hours since the announcement, yet the news has alrea

    The fire in her eyes was untamed, raw—like a storm barely held back by the fragile restraint of her skin. Impressive, to say the least. A slow smirk curled on my lips, amusement flickering through me despite the absurdity of her words."I want to join the Board of Executives!" she declared, her voice cutting through the room like a blade of ice.I exhaled sharply, staring at her—hard. Maybe I was hoping she was joking, that she’d laugh and brush it off as a fleeting thought. But no. Damn. She meant it.As Fedrick moved about, directing the guests toward dinner, I kept my gaze locked on her, studying every flicker of resolve, every stubborn breath she took."Listen," I said, my tone low, measured, but laced with something dark. "Do you think joining the Executive Board will be enough to get your revenge?"Her brows pinched slightly, but she didn’t falter. "What do you mean? From the beginning, that was what—""You still don’t get it," I cut in, stepping forward. Before she could pull a
