It's been four days since we got to this country, Gregory has been out each day but he always makes sure he comes back early to spend time with me. I think we've made some progress on our relationship. He has been calling me endearing names, which makes my heart sing and makes the butterflies in my stomach flutter out of control, he makes me feel like I'm floating.

Tonight is our last night here and we've been invited to dinner. This night isn't different from any other night because his eyes have been on me like I'm the only thing that matters. He has made blushing a permanent place of residence on my face. Just like in this moment, his eyes are on me as I apply my makeup. He is casually lounging on the bed swirling his wedding band around his fingers with his gaze fixed on me while my blood has rushed over to my face taking its place in its new home.

    "You don't look so good" Gregory says, "I'm fine, my feet are hurting, I lie through my teeth. I don't want to ruin his night even if mine has been destroyed by his girlfriend. I wonder if he still loves her, and still wants to be with her as much as she wants to be with him. Even though he has been nice to me for the past few days, that doesn't mean I'm the one he wants, he had a whole life before this baby thing sprung up on both of us. But the thing is I am beginning to feel things for him. Maybe it's because he stares at me like no man has ever done, or it's the massages or even the fact that he lets me sleep on the same bed as him, cuddling me while at it. "I wanna, dance with you". He says, he looks genuine that I can't say no, this is the first time he is asking something of me."Sure". The word slipped from my mouth making my brain protest remembering the words of his ex Ellie. He stretches out his hand for me to take, pulling me to the dance floor."I'm not really a good d

    Gregory hasn't come back, it's already morning. I tried reaching him but he didn't take any of my calls. I called Oliver too, he told me everything was fine and under control he wouldn't say anything other than that. I am about to take a bath when the door opens revealing my husband. He looks worn out."Morning babe". He walks in tiredly giving me a peck. Even his voice is tired."Are you okay". I ask with great concern on my face. "I'm fine". He looks anything but fine, on the contrary he looks like he was run-over by a bus. "I highly doubt that''. I murmur with a quizzical look. "Do you still want me to massage you?". Are you kidding me? Between the both of us he is the one who needs a massage, here he is asking me if I need one. Yup I think he lost some screws last night. "Actually…," I breathe out, "I think you're the one who needs a massage, you look like shit" I blurted out before I could register who I was talking to. He burst out with laughter, his head falling backwards

We've been moving in circles with this investigation for over a year now, trying to figure out who is sabotaging my business and my damn life!. It is beginning to irk me at this point. I run my hands through my already messy hair trying to ease my frustration, which does nothing to ease the agitation building up inside of me.“What about that Patrick guy?”. I enquire.“Still nothing sir”. His response was curt. This makes me cut the call in annoyance. “Who could it be, who could be behind all this”. My frustration is at its peak, eating deep into my bones, brows furrowed to show my feelings.I let out a breath, trying to calm myself down again. When my business started getting attacked, I thought it was a mere coincidence, something of no major relevance but with so many negative occurrences at my various wa

    DENISE'S POVMy cheeks are rosy, my hair looks healthier, there's a shine to it, there's life in my skin. The girl watching me in the mirror is nothing like the girl I saw a few months ago.

A smile tugs my lips at the realisation that my life is somewhat at ease. Who would have thought that I would feel like this after a whirlwind that struck my life offsetting the balance.

    I've told you before, you don't need to worry I promise” I whine to Gregory over the phone. He doesn't want to let me do anything or even leave his sight, it's sweet and all but I need to do stuff on my own. I've always done things on my own asides the occasional help from Rosie and mum.“It's not like I'll be alone, Rosie will be there with me, Oliver will equally be there, nothing is going to happen. And I promise, at the slightest sign of any trouble I'll call you, please.” Even though I couldn't see him, I already have puppy dog eyes.There's a heavy sigh at the other end of the line after a few seconds of pregnant pause.“Fine, you can go to the mall” his beautiful voice rings out.“But if you notice anything out of place call me. Love you”. He cuts the call and my eyes are rounded in surprise. I am stunned, he just said “love you”.

    The hairs on my body stood at attention, I wasn't expecting this, not even in the slightest bit. “You know, I warned you, I didn't even do it once, which is on like me. I usually do it once and that's it. But with you, I did it more than once. It is obvious you're a stubborn little pest. You proved adamant, testing my not so big patience”. She laughs humorlessly.“The thing with stubborn pests is that they get destroyed, killed even”. She takes a step closer to me and I take one of my own back. We do this till I have nowhere to move to. Due to her heels she looks taller and intimidating. “Your marriage to Gregory didn't bother me much since it didn't put a dent in our relationship, but as time went on, your stupid little self took his attention away from me, you see, I don't quite like it when attention is taken from me. He has his sole attention on you and that baby and I don't like it. Even at events he ignores me all because of you”. Her blue eyes gaze into my hazel ones with so

    Oliver looked at my deplorable state with a raised eyebrow and it reminded me of his boss. “Damn my life”.“What happened Mrs Williams” he wastes no time with the question, his expression turning rigid.“Nothing, I just had a little accident”. His face gives him away, he doesn't believe me. “Ma'am with all due respect, I'm not sure I believe you”. My heart rate skyrockets at his Lazer detection ability. I try to laugh it out but it comes out more like a choked sound. Rosie doesn't even bother backing me up. She just stared between me and Oliver, closing watching our interactions if I would fold and tell the truth.“I'm telling the truth, it was an accident, you don't need to think about it too much”. The lie fell out of my mouth like always . Hiding my abuser because I'm scared.“Ma'am you need to tell me when things go wrong, I wouldn't know what line of action to take if you keep things from me. And if the boss asks I wouldn't know what to say so please ma'am, what happened”.“Not

    DENISE'S POVNot long after we woke up did my greatest nightmare walk in. Blood drained from my face and for a split second, my heart forgot to beat.“Patrick”“Why, Hello there sweet peas” his smile broad as a Cheshire cat.“Never thought we would meet in these circumstances, what can I say the Lord is good”. It's sickening, him mentioning the Lord. This brute knows nothing about the Lord.“Now, now, don't be sad, this will only last a few hours and we can be happy. We could even play hide and seek if you like”.He stalks closer to us, no me.“Get away from her you psycho” Luke screams. Patrick pays him no mind as he moves even closer.

    “Dee…” Rosie badges into my room. Luke called, he said he has something to show us. My eyes widen a fraction. “He has figured out something” I murmur. Rosie nods her head frantically at me. I waste no time picking up my bag as we dash out.“Carolina…, we will be back soon”. I hollered at Carolina who was cradling Ivy in her arms.“Ra tat tat” Rosie knocks on Luke's door. There is no answer at first but the second time the door swings open. Luke stands there with an awkward smile that doesn't reach his eyes. He looks kind of nervous. “Come in” he opens the door wider allowing us enter.“Luke are you…” the words are choked shut in my mouth as something hard hits my head.

Sitting behind will keep me away from the prying eyes of Ellie. My eyes are on Ellie the moment she steps in. She's wearing a cream coloured A-cut short gown. She is wearing a black heeled boot to match. She looks good, I won't lie. She greets Peggy Ross. They exchanged pleasantries soon after the show starts.

Her eyes stare directly at me as she walks in. “Denise, l knows you are mad at how Gregory reacted towards our suggestion. She sits down on the bed getting comfy. “And just because he says it doesn't mean we are going to stop. You have my full support to pursue this to the very end”. She stretches her hand placing it tenderly on my arms. I wrap my hands around her instantly. Having a friend like Rosie who supports you is a big blessing. “What are we going to do?. We don't have the necessary information to help out”. I detach myself from our hug. “I was banking on our alliance with the guys to get info”.

We are asleep when they return and we don't get the needed information. Tonight is going to be different though.

Her eyes shutting down completely as she yawns. “Common Ro, we need to stay awake if we want to know what's going on.”. Rosie nods her head at me with her eyes still shut. When I look at the clock for the fifth time this night, it shows it's just eleven forty five. I sigh in annoyance knowing any moment from now I'll be falling asleep. I need to stimulate myself in order to stay awake, not just me but Rosie as well.

I don't blame him though, after the whole incident he wants us to be safe. Not that Gregory's Mansion was not safe but Isaiah's mansion is on another level.

Men that have access to such heavy weaponry. Then again he is a billionaire, money can buy alot of things..Rosie and I step into the balcony were Gregory and Isaiah are having a
