Thelma's POV:I arrived home late, at around 8:30 PM, as I was so nervous driving along the expressway. "How did it happen?" I asked myself as I couldn't believe that I slept with Mavin White, and worse, in his office."Oh no... Dad is going to find out, and how would he react?" I kept asking myself questions as I honked my car in front of our house gate.Shortly, I drove into the garage as the security man pulled and shut the gate closed.I could see Steven's car parked in our garage. Though Steven has a lot of cars, the car he used in the morning was a black Bentley, so I nervously stepped down from my car after switching off the engine.I touched my neck nervously, as I was still having Mavin White's towel wrapped around my neck, and his scent was so filled in the towel.I gulped several times as I took my handbag that contained my phone inside it. Next, I proceeded to go into our mansion.As I stepped onto the ground floor, I saw my Father and Steven discussing as they both sat o
**Thelma.**"Dad, I was busy, so I did not take out my phone throughout my stay in the company and while I was driving back home too. Tomorrow, I will go to see our family doctor, as Mum and I discussed. I will call Mum now when I finally return upstairs to my bedroom after dinner," I said."You shouldn't keep your mother waiting, Thelma, as you know she worries so much about you. Anyway, let us start eating our dinner and bless the meal," Dad said to me. He sounded more calm and friendly, and I knew that it was solely because he wanted me to marry his friend's son.I blessed the meal, and soon we started eating our dinner silently.After my dinner session with my elder brother and my father ended, I stood up from the chair I had been sitting on, avoiding Steven's gaze, and I finally went back upstairs to my bedroom."Wow, that was so close..." I gasped in relief as I walked into my bedroom. Steven had glared at me with a threatening look, as if to say to take off the towel.I quickly
**Thelma.**I stepped out of the elevator and walked toward Lady Elena's office. Most of the staff were busy clicking on their computers, and I felt a little relieved that the second floor wasn't as noisy as the first.Soon, I was standing in front of Lady Elena's office, waiting for her to finish with the man she was attending to. Finally, she waved to me to come inside.I told her that I wasn't yet assigned to any department in their company, and her response was, "The boss hasn't yet confirmed you to work with us. So you have to wait for the boss to arrive first, as our boss's assistant cannot attend to you today.""Why? I mean, must Boss Mavin be the one to attend to me?" I asked, as I clearly didn't want to meet Mavin again."Yes, because you met with him yesterday. What happened between the two of you? There are rumors that you spent almost four to five hours in Boss Mavin's office. Did he do anything out of the ordinary with you?" Lady Elena asked me, and my cheeks immediately f
**Mavin.**"Mavin! What do you mean by 'what's there'? Didn't you know that this could ruin us? And worse, isn't she the same lady that Adam brought here to you the previous day?"I smiled as I finally threw all the magazines into the trash bin in my room. I stared back at my grandfather and spoke, "She's the one, Grandpa. You caused this; you're the one who ordered Adam to bring a woman to me. If Adam hadn't brought her to me, then there's no way I would have known her and become fascinated by her.""You need to do away with her, Mavin, as her father won't allow you to marry his daughter. Once her father finds out about this, you will never get to see her again.""Why, Grandpa? I don't get it. Isn't it just business rivalry between us? I will go and see her family and let them know that I love their daughter and that I want to marry her," I said. I saw Grandpa looking at me in shock, and he shook his head before turning to exit my bedroom."Grandpa! Grandpa! You have always wanted me
**Mavin.**My father angrily looked at me before shifting his gaze back to his father, asking, "Are you asking me to leave, Dad? Fine, what about the company? You can't just continue to lock it up!""Go back home, Luke, and wait until I'm ready to open the company, or better still, look for something else to do," Grandpa Charlie replied. My father glared at me once more as I stood there waiting for him to leave. Finally, he turned and exited my living room silently while I looked back at my grandfather, who was now drinking the herbal tea that Angela had served him.I sighed and asked, "Grandpa, what about the company? I already agreed to marry now, so why not give it to Dad? That way, he can stop hating on me. I don't really need the company, as I’m self-made.""I know, Mavin, but you see, Luke is my son. Before you were born, he had his own life. Don't listen to him; he's just angry that I accepted you and took you away from him. He knows I can't give him my company, so don’t pay att
Mavin, I walked into my office and settled into my executive office chair, thinking back to what Thelma and I had done the day before. I tried to push those thoughts aside, but I couldn't shake the desire to see her again. Now, I regretted my actions. As I sat down and booted up my computer, I reached for the phone to check with Henry if he had cleared all the news reports about me. When Henry confirmed it, I hung up and turned my attention to the top clients I needed to meet that day. I was aware that the news might have reached Thelma's father, Mr. Conrad Sabastain, especially since we received the business magazine early in the morning. It seemed likely that the news had spread, and other companies were eager to climb the rankings to become top partners in City B. I didn't feel the need to show off to climb the ladder; I believed in working diligently but not excessively. The attention from our fans, along with the international recognition, had driven both Steven and me to succ
Thelma, Mrs. Elena Brown informed me that her boss had arrived and instructed me to proceed to the fourth floor to see Mavin. I was nervous to see him as I had been waiting since morning. I know I should have left the company, but I still wanted to speak to him. I intended to tell him face-to-face that we couldn't date and that we should forget about the possibility of being together. I was really nervous when he started asking me questions about why I returned to work at his company. I felt like I was being interviewed all over again. Feeling scared, I tried to leave when he stood up from his seat. He caught me before I could reach the door and turned me around to face him. "Why are you running away when I haven't finished my questions?" Mavin asked, his white eyes adding to my fear. I mentioned that my father had warned me to keep my distance from him. Mavin then asked if I had ever asked my father why he said that. "No, he just warned me to stay away from you," I replied, no
Steven. Father finally dismissed his guests as they left our living room, and he finally walked up to meet me as I stood beside the dining table, checking the business news gossip magazine that I had gathered from the center table. "Steven, what happened?" Father asked me, as I squinted my eyes and read through the news written on the front pages of the gossip magazine cover. "Steven..." "Father, you know that Thelma told us lies last night," I said calmly, not wanting my father to faint. I still needed some personal explanation from him and to know why he hated LX Groups so much, to the extent that the hatred had to be transferred to MW Group as well. "About what, Steven? And why did you chase your younger sister into the house like that?" Father continued to ask me as he walked past me and sat down in the first dining seat. "Do you know that Thelma actually met with Mavin yesterday in his office, and the worst report that I am seeing trending online now is that she had an affai
[Thelma's POV:]I stared back at the huge white door in front of me, afraid of the masculine figure that wanted to step out.Knowing that Sir Adam had told me to go into the room, I was scared and stood nervously in my long red gown.I could hear the scattering of something inside the room, and I was seriously afraid, feeling the need to pee in my pants.Before I knew it, I was taking some steps backward, as I could hear the sound of the imposing footsteps approaching the door. As I jumped back to scramble out of the room, just then, the door unlocked.A tall man in a white top and black shorts walked out. He stared at me in shock as his silver eyes met my blue orbs."Who the hell are you?" He asked, taken aback by my presence.I was struck in awe by the man's handsomeness. He was a dark-skinned man, very handsome, with silver eyes and a formidable figure.I struggled to say who I am as I stared at him in disbelief. The man held his head like he was in pain and staggered to meet me."
Mavin.Three months had past since I lastly went to Conrad Sabastain mansion. Steven didn't want to speak with me, nor to allow me into their company as their bodyguards were very mean.I went to take my bath in my bathroom as it was a bright Monday morning and I was in my bedroom on the second floor of my mansion.I had a lot of works to do in office, so I went to bath as the time was still after 7am, and the day was September 15 on the calendar.I felt a bit familiar with the date, knowing that the day seem special but I couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was as my rather was rather preoccupied with going to my company.The year was almost coming to an end again, and I had to prepare for the end of the year awards.Although I hadn't seen any new company in city B that could compete with mine so I was not even bothered.I stepped out from my bathroom as I was through with my bath. I dried my short black jet hair and also applied my body cream before I wore my black suit and set to lea
Thelma.I heard my father yelling at someone at the garage, and I rushed out to my room balcony to find out who was that?.I saw Mavin leaving, just before I could call him back. He looked so handsome In his black suit and finally got into his car and left."Mavin! Ah!" I felt my water broke, and my babies were coming out."Ah! My tummy!" I winced out again, and my older brother immediately rushed upstairs to my room, Like he heard my voice."Thelma, are you alright?" Steven asked me, as he looked worried, rushing up to meet me, and at the same time angry."My babies, They are coming out Steven" I told Steven, and he assisted me, while we went downstairs to his carI was taken to the hospital, crying as I really wanted to know what happened earlier.Why did my father sent Mavin White away?"Thelma you have to push your babies out now," My mother said to me, and I was crying seriously."No, Mom, I want to see Mavin, why did father send him away?" I inquired from my mother."Come on, The
Thelma.I couldn't believe what Mavin told me,that he really missed me, and wanted me back in his life."Hmm, " I was unable to speak as I contemplated to tell Mavin that I am pregnant with him."But you know that my.father won't accept to our affair. What are we going to do now?" I asked, as I was calm now speaking to Mavin on the phone call."Not to worry. I will come to see your family soon," Mavin assured me, and I asked him, "Will you be able to come here? I mean, do you know my family house address?""Of course, I will come to see you soon. Not to worry," Mavin assured me, and I sighed. "Okay, good night then," I said."Yes, You too," Mavin replied and the phone call with him finally ended.I kept looking at my phone screen for a while, even after my phone call with Mavin White ended.I don't know if to believe him or not . On what he said about coming to see my family. But I really wanted to believe him that he would visit us.I finally stood up from my bed, and went to locked
THELMA:'Is this a dream?' - I had asked myself, as I couldn't believe that Mavin would really messaged me."No, Is not a dream" I said, and typed my response to him - "I am fine and you?.*Good* - Mavin replied. He didn't even waited a single second and I wonder what he's up too?.Is he missing me like I missed him too?.Does he want to speak with me?.I was afraid but at the same time curious to know.I got a message notification popup from him, and he asked - *How about your family?.*I frowned and wondered if Mavin also knew about the fact that Steven and him were brothers, Yet he slept with me and pretended like he knew nothing about it.I didn't replied and felt sadder. I remember the day that Mavin had sent me away from his office tooHe had s*X with me in his office. Yet he was so bold to throw me out and not even glancing at me again.The anger in his eyes on that very day was enough to show to me, how much of disgust that he had for meI kept staring at my phone screen in si
MAVIN:I went to inspect the new company as it's a working Monday morning. So far Grandpa hadn't been disturbing me about marrying anyone again, even as it is a brand new year.I was still contemplating on my decision in going to Thelma's father mansion and to ask for her hand in marriage.I closed at my office at 5pm, and I stood up to leave for home. I only arrived at the company to inspect the progress levels of the new companies that I visited and to save the records on my computer and sign out for the day.I wore a black trouser and ash grey shirt with my suit jacket rested on my right arm while I left the company building and went outside to my carI got into my car, as I had a hectic day.I started my car engine and drove homeArriving home, I saw Grandpa seated at the garden while I parked my car and locked it up before walking up to meet him there.The sun had gone down, and Grandpa smiled as he watch me approaching him."Good evening Grandpa" - I greeted and he smiled."Welc
Thelma Sabastain:I finished drinking my tea in the dinning room and watched Steven stood up from the dinning seat across to me."I am already leaving now to work" - Steven informed me. I replied - "Okay brother."I sighed after Steven left our mansion as since when mother and father had gone upstairs, After father angrily walked away from the living room. I was left alone and I stood up from the dinning chair and walked towards the living room staircase before I climbed on it and went upstairs my bedroom.I was still a little worried now knowing that Mavin and Steven were related and half brothers.I sighed - "Hmm" and pushed my room door opened, before I walked into my bedroom.I approached the headboard where I kept my phone the previous day, I took my phone and decided to switched it on, as I hadn't charged it since, nor caring to know what was happening in the outside world.I switched on my phone and searched about Mavin White. I want to see his face again and felt like I had si
Thelma.I didn't want to know what Steven wanted, so I ignored greeting him as I couldn't believe that he would supported father, in not informing Mavin that I'm pregnant for him."Sister." - Steven spoke, as he walked up to my bed to meet me.My room was very wide, and by bed was positioned in the centre of my bedroom."What do you want?, just leave me alone and leave my room too" - I said, still wanting Steven to leave and not looking at his face."I know that you're angry with me sister, But I think Father made the best decision so that you don't have anything doing with Mavin again.."I didn't said anything. That had always been Steven words, so if he didn't have anything important to say to me, He can as well walk out from my room, just as he walked inside now."Thelma, So you have no idea why Father doesn't want you to marry Mavin?" - Steven questioned, and I replied - "No. Mavin doesn't want me, So why should I be bothered if father want me to marry Mavin or not.. My point is w
Mavin White:"Empty threat.. Come on Grandpa, I have told you that I still don't like women, I want Thelma, And seeing Steven today at the event centre.. I just feel guilty for not asking him of Thelma., is not like I don't know the family circle that surround us now, but I still want Thelma back, I miss her."Grandpa shook his head in pity and said - "Conrad will never approved of you both relationship Mavin.. The earliest you look for another woman and forget about Thelma. It doesn't seem right and you should see her like your sisiter, as her father and your father were best friends before in the past, more like brothers. If not Julie that left Conrad and her little son to have an affair with your father..""Hmm, Do you think I'm not dad's son truly, with the way Father kept calling me a bastard?" - I asked Grandpa sadly, and knowing that Grandpa had raised me alone, while my father rejected me, and my mother, I couldn't speak of her now, after seeing that she's pregnant at her age.
