KATE'S POV

My phone started ringing and I could tell who it was without checking. I picked it and told him I am in the office. I don't know why he calls every time irrespective of the fact that he knows I'd be at work.

I need Vina to come back because this workload isn't for me. We're having the runway show when she's back but scouting for models has not been easy at all. I need to call her today after I'm done with Leonard.

"Hy damsel" He smiled as he walked in with a bouquet

"Hy. What's with the flowers?" I asked

"Nothing. Just wanted to come with something this time since I'm always empty-handed." He winked

I collected the flowers and thanked him. He sat down while I finished what I was doing on my laptop. After I finished, I closed my laptop and put it in my bag.

"Why are you so tired?" He creased his brows

"Well, we have a run show next week and I'm still trying to scout for models." I explained

"Ohh, you can just hold on till she comes back.

    AVINA'S POV We only have two days left until the honeymoon ends. Carter said we'd do a lot today and I should be prepared. I was surprised when I saw us get into an aeroplane. When we got inside I realised what he signed up for. I was still unsure about what was happening but when they started wearing bodysuits for us that was when I knew. They finished gearing us and I pulled Carter closer looking at him intensely and shaking my head. "Don't tell me you're scared of skydiving?" He laughed "Is anyone meant to enjoy this?" I asked peeping out of the aeroplane I was so scared that I hugged Carter burying my face in his chest. He was laughing so hard that I was annoyed but I had no choice but to act normal. "Look here sweetie, you trust me right?" He stared at me I nodded my head vigorously signifying Yes. "Good girl. Now just make sure you hold my hands and don't let go." He instructed "I can't do this, Carter." I refused to let go "Trust m

    CARTER'S POV Is this lady serious right now? Her expressions are so hilarious. She asked me to show her my other skills and I'm about to do that and now she looked shocked. "Don't be scared princess. I'd be gentle." I smirked I removed her hands from her bosom and made her rest her back against the wall. She looked like a prey about to be devoured by its predator and I couldn't help but smirk. I raised her face with the tip of my index finger and crashed my lips on hers. It took her a while but she eventually gave me access to her mouth. The kiss started as gentle and soft but soon became a fight over whose lips and tongue could dominate more. I ran my hands all over her body until they landed on her breasts. I squeezed them a little and her moan was caught in my mouth. She raised her hands and ran her fingers through my wet hair. My whole body rose from that little action. The way she caressed and moved her fingers swiftly and perfectly made it worse. I lif

    Carter's parents bought us a house in a very beautiful estate. I didn't know how the house was but when we got there I was astounded. It is a mansion, too big for newlyweds if I must say. We arrived home in the evening, tired. A chauffeur was already waiting for us as soon as we arrived. So he drove us home and helped with the luggage too. After he was done, he bowed and left. Now, it's just me and my beloved husband, I scoffed as the thought came to mind. "Should we eat out or order in?" He asked me as he sat on the couch "Let's just order in. It'd be stressful for you to drive again." I answered as I went upstairs Facing the stairs there was two rooms beside eachother and one room at the left and right side, situated at the end of the hall. I still haven't forgotten his words because they refused to leave my head. I pulled my luggage and walked to the right end of the hall. I breathed in and out then opened it. It was big and spacious but I knew the maste

    The ride home was silent. Even though Carter tried to break the silence, I only answered with one word or nod my head. He didn't want to probe me further so he stopped. We got home and the driver helped with the groceries inside. He did that alongside the driver. I waited till they dispatched the whole groceries inside and he came to sit down. Still not talking, I went to the kitchen to arrange the groceries in the fridge and some in the cupboard. It was afternoon so I decided to make Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken. I brought out the fresh lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and cheese. It took me some minutes but eventually I finished. I served the food and went back to clean the kitchen. By the time I came out Carter was already seated at the dining and was tapping his feet impatiently. I stiffled a laugh then went to sit. I served his food and pushed the plate to him and then dished out mine. "This tastes heavenly." He winked at me. I ignored him and focused on

Immediately I got to the office, my workers did a little welcome party for me and presented me with some gifts which of course I appreciated.

After I was done, I smiled at the lady and thanked her, but my curiosity was already at its peak, so I decided to say what I've been thinking. "What about the lady who entered before? Who's she?" "Ohh, that's Avina. We both own the company, " the lady explained, but she noticed my confusion and expantiated "We both own the company, even though we majored in different courses and we're best friends, more like sisters." "Ohhhh." I nodded my head, taking in all she said "My name's Kate, and it's nice doing business with you. We'd deliver all the items when they're available."

I heard a voice as I descended the stairs.Oh, I forgot I'm now married and also in love with my husband. I turned and forced a big smile and walked towards the door. Before my hand could touch the hand, he pulled me towards himself, making my head slam into his chest. I inhaled his smell, which was minty and woody, and it smelled so nice. I immediately raised my head when I noticed I'd been resting in his chest for a while now. "Good morning. Is there anything you'd like me to do for you?" I finally managed to get my tongue

    AVINA'S POV It's a beautiful Saturday morning. I've been enjoying every day with Carter after the visit to my parent's house. Last week, he planned a surprise for me with his friend and his secretary. It was amazing. It was a dinner date at a restaurant rooftop, my favourite restaurant. I never knew this man paid attention to details about me. I only saw his text asking me to leave work early and that he had a present for me at home. I was so curious, so I left work earlier than usual. I got home and ran up the stairs to our bedroom. On the bed, I saw three boxes so I opened them. The content of the first box made me gasp, and the second had me fanning myself because the room suddenly got hot seeing those presents. The first box contained a backless lavender dress, with a slit that stopped right at my thigh. The second box contained black Saint Laurent heels and a purse to match. The content of the last box was a beauty to behold. It was the latest edition

    LEONARD'S POV I just concluded a meeting with the board of directors. They had so many unnecessary concerns about the company and whatever was happening in the outside world. I don't know why old people never seem to mind their business and face it rather than bother themselves about it. I've also been trying to talk with investors because I'm trying to make our new lipstick brand expand into the international market. It's been doing well all over the USA, so I want to push it into the international market. It hasn't been easy but it was successful eventually. As I stepped out of my company, I dialled her number. I bet she'd be mad at me right now, but she would understand. It rang twice before she picked it up. "How can I help you?" That was her way of greeting. I'd take that because she has all the right to be angry. I was pleading the week before, and I've already repeated the same thing. "Hey, hey, your anger is justified, but that's no way to greet someone yo

As soon as I landed and went to collect my luggage, I sighted him standing there. "Good morning, Mr. Patrick." I greeted the old man, who has been working with our family for the past 20 years. "How was your flight ma'am?" He asked as he collected my luggage and took it to the car "It wasn't bad. It just feels nice to be back home." I told him. He opened the car door for me and I got in. I took off my glasses and closed my eyes for a quick nap before we got home. "We've arrived ma'am." Mr Patrick announced a few minutes later"Thank you so much. I'd ask the maids to get my luggage for me." I smiled at him as I took my bag and entered "There she is. My princess." My dad was beaming with smiles as he sighted me "I've missed you so much, Dad."

    CARTER'S POV This week has been incredibly hectic for my wife, and I can see the toll it’s taking on her. She’s barely home for more than 30 minutes, just enough time to change clothes or quickly prepare meals for me to heat up later. As the week wraps up, I’ve decided to take action and surprise her at work. She needs to know how much she means to me, and that I’ll always stand by her side, supporting her in everything she does. I got dressed for work with purpose and grabbed my suitcase. The driver had just finished washing the car when I got downstairs, and we exchanged brief greetings. I climbed in, already smiling as the excitement bubbled up inside me at the thought of the surprise I had planned. When I arrived at the office, I was eager to share my idea with Clinton, my secretary. I would have reached out to Leonard, but his schedule has been packed lately, leaving us no opportunity to meet. “Good morning, sir!” Clinton greeted me with energy. “Morning, Clinton! It’s a be

    AVINA'S POV After settling with Carter, I felt liberated in a way. Letting go of the resentment that had slowly built up in my chest is one of the good things I've ever done for myself. Thank God for blessing me with my sisters. What would I have done without them? I got up this morning, feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. I went into the bathroom, humming one of my favourite songs, 2002 by Anne Marie, smiling and grinning. I got out of the bathroom and dried my hair, then picked out my outfit for the day. While I was dressing up, Carter walked in with a tray of food and juice, smiling. "Good morning, baby." He walked up to me and kissed me"Hope you slept well?" I wiped off the makeup that had smeared the tip of his nose "With you by my side, I slept soundly." He winked "What's that?" I asked him "Breakfast. I didn't want to stress you, so I woke up early to make it." "Thanks, sweetheart. That's so thoughtful of you." I kissed him again "Anything

    KATE'S POV It was a weekend, and I was neck-deep in chores. My bedroom was a disaster—a mess of clothes strewn about, new outfits still in their shopping bags tossed on the floor, and a general clutter that made me question how I’d let it get this bad. I usually pick an outfit in a rush each morning, tossing aside the rest of my clothes without a second thought. This weekend was my chance to regain control, so I’d committed to sorting it all out.I was pulling clothes from the washing machine when the doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone, and I felt a twinge of irritation at the interruption, whoever it was. After setting down the last load of wet clothes, I wiped my hands and made my way to the door, bracing myself for whatever surprise awaited. As I peeked through the peephole, my heart lurched. Standing there, of all people, was Leonard.What was he doing here? And how did he even know where I lived? My mind flooded with questions I didn’t have answers to, but he rang the bell

    CARTER'S POV It's been a week now since Avina has spoken to me. The tip Nia gave didn't do anything. Instead, it worsened the whole situation. I tried speaking to her in the morning before she left for work and she replied, even though the answers were short and precise. But I was happy she was even saying something to me. She set the dining and we sat down to eat. I kept stealing glances at her as we were eating, and eventually, she noticed. "Say whatever it is you want to say." "I've been wondering and I just can't pinpoint what it is I did to make you give me this attitude. I know you recognise me; you're only doing this to torture me for an offence I know nothing about." I didn't hesitate in spilling out my mind. "You really don't know what you did. Even till now??" She asked without lifting her face "If I did, I wouldn't be bothering you this much." I was starting to get pissed but I kept my cool "If you don't know what you did even after ignoring you for 4 d

    KATE'S POV I got up early the next morning so I'd beat traffic. I dressed and drank the coffee I made then stepped out. I achieved my aim because there was no traffic and the road was very free. I got to her house and parked my car. I greeted the gateman and made my way inside. I opened the door, and all I could hear was laughter that sounded so high-pitched. Why is she up so early and who's she laughing with? Has she decided to forgive Carter? I hurried inside to find out what was happening, but instead of Carter, it was Elena. They saw me and waved. "Good morning sis." I hugged Elena"How are you now?? Can you laugh this loud so early??" I looked at Avina "How does laughing make me unable to rest?" She eyed me and then came to hug me "What was so funny that you guys were laughing so hard?" I asked as I sat down "She was explaining all that happened in the hospital to me. You know I wasn't present." Elena briefed me "Oh. Has she now said the reason why she decid

    AVINA'S POV It felt so nice seeing his face display different emotions altogether. He was happy, confused, angry and super angry. I couldn't help but beam with happiness. Why am I doing this? I don't know but maybe because of the incident that happened on our honeymoon. I've been anticipating when I'd have my revenge and this day finally came. I see no reason why I won't make use of this golden opportunity. Kate just sat there looking lost because she was also confused. I said nothing but winked at her and she scoffed "You've gotten more brazen this past weeks. What has he been feeding you that he also can't handle you?" "Aren't you proud of me? You've always wanted to see me in another light other than work, family and all." The smile was still plastered on my face. "Yes, that's true but please don't try to pin this on me. I now regret telling you that." She shook her head in regret "Well, this is a reminder to let you know that you also can't mess with me and go

    CARTER'S POVI dropped Vina in the back seat gently and hurriedly drove out. I felt so scared as I drove down to the hospital. I got to the hospital and carried her inside. The nurses hurriedly went to get a stretcher and told me to drop her off, but I refused and continued to walk inside. Seeing I wasn't going to let her go, they led me into a room. One of the nurses left to get the doctor. The doctor came in and politely asked me to go out, but I refused. The nurses did all they could to get me out, but while they were trying, Clinton and Leonard arrived. Leonard apologised to the nurses, and the doctor then dragged me out. I sat on the bench in the hospital hallway and buried my head in my palm. "Why would she go extreme? I don't want her anymore. Why does she find it hard to grasp those simple sentences?" He raised his head to look at his friend "It's fine. She can't do anything again. I'd make sure of it." Leonard assured his friend Carter had to call Kate and tel
