CLAYI felt very happy about everything that was happening.I knew Lisa was in her room sulking and I intended to make it up to her later.But for the time being, I refused to let Mia go. We both laid on my bed, staring at each other while I smiled. "Why do you look so happy?" She asked."Well, isn't it obvious? You're here, so how can't I be happy?" I asked back.She thought about my words and asked, "Are you saying that during the time we were apart, you were unhappy?""Yes. I was extremely miserable," I confessed."Each time I would think about you, our moments when we were in college, and all the times we spent together, and I would miss you so badly. I searched for you relentlessly, you have no idea, and you cannot begin to understand the pain my heart felt when I found out that you were with my brother."She nodded, "I see, but your words sound contradictory. You said you were miserable, but not too miserable to get yourself another girlfriend.I mean, if you really wanted me b
CLAYWhen Adam and Lisa arrived, I stared at them and saw how they smiled at each other after getting out of the car.Seeing them hugging made me feel uncomfortable. I was also unhappy about the fact that Lisa had left with Adam without telling me. How could she have just sent me a text message when we were very close and I didn't keep anything from her? I waited for her to get into her room and I quickly went in there."What happened?" I asked. "About what?" She asked back."About what you did," I replied. "You suddenly decided you wanted to leave for the city and you didn't ask me. You know I would have gladly taken you, right?You sent me a text instead and decided to go with Adam."She shrugged, "So? What's the big deal? Adam was already on his way to the city. I bumped into him about to leave and I asked him to give me a ride. Why should I have come to you when you were too busy with Mia?"I sighed, "Okay, It's fine. But you should have called me though, you should have called
ADAMThe moment I heard Clay's words, I remembered when I had opened the door to his room in the morning and saw him having sex with Mia.At the time, I had closed the door and knocked, pretending as though I hadn't seen anything. It was surprising that it happened early in the morning, and in the evening he had come up with this.I knew he expected me to be shocked, and I did not want to disappoint him, so I acted as though I was shocked, and I kept staring at him with my mouth open.The game Clay was playing, I finally understood.When I went to the city and arrived at the factory in his company, I realized that the problem he had spoken about, which he said was so big that no engineer could fix it, was a lie.A switch had been deliberately turned off, and I knew that Clay had done it. At first, I didn't understand why, but then I began to replay what had happened the previous days and it all made sense.He had sent me, on that same day it rained, because he wanted me to be away fr
LISAI knew it was going to happen, Clay had already told me.But what I did not bargain on was the pain my heart felt upon seeing the shock on Adam's face.I knew I had to play the angry girlfriend and walk away, just as Clay had told me. But it wasn't truly the reason why I walked away. I walked away because I could not bear to see the look on Adam's face, it was obvious that he was so hurt by everything that Clay was saying. But still, Clay did not stop for a moment.Neither did he care about the fact that his words and actions were hurting his brother.I stood up and left, stayed in my room, and kept thinking about what to do about the whole situation. About an hour later, after freshening up, I came out to see that dinner was over. They had all eaten and gone their separate ways. I thought about it and wanted to talk to Clay.Since I was leaving the next day, I had to make all the necessary arrangements. I did not want to spend another second close to him. I had to leave as soo
ADAM After Lisa left, I felt a little hurt and conflicted at the same time. I had thought she loved Clay. After finding out she didn't, I ought to have been happy for her, but knowing she loved someone else made me feel incompetent. I couldn't even bring myself to tell her that I loved her because I knew it was going to seem like she was my second option.How could I make her understand my feelings?Even before I found out what Mia was up to, I had already developed feelings for her. But something did not make sense to me, though. If she was in love with someone else, why did she follow Clay to my granny's Villa? Why did she introduce herself to my granny as Clay's girlfriend?Who was this man she loved and why was he comfortable with her playing such a role and being in the same bedroom with Clay?Could she have met him after meeting Clay? Because she did say that she spent a passionate night with Clay. I could not believe that she had cheated on the man she loved. But if after m
LISA I felt like I was dreaming. I couldn't believe that Adam had just had sex with me and was lying in bed beside me. I kept staring at him with a smile on my face.Well, I believed it was just a brief moment of weakness on his part, but it was enough to last me a lifetime. However, he surprised me by taking hold of my hands and saying, "Lisa, I know we only just met, but your feelings for me is mutual. What I'm saying is, the same way you love me, that is the same way I love you, or probably even more."My eyes gleamed, "For real? Are you just saying this because Mia is no longer in your life?"He shook his head, "No. Come on, Lisa. You should know that I will never say words I don't mean to you. I let go of Mia on my own.Even when I caught her having sex with Clay in his bedroom, I did not feel any anger or resentment. I think that is more than enough to tell you that Mia is not the one in my heart I am not hurt right now. That is the truth.""Hold on, you saw Mia in bed with Cl
CLAY I couldn't believe what was going on. How could Lisa stab me in the back? I was so angry that I stomped out of her room and went to the living room, screaming at the top of my voice that I was not going to take it.At this point, my granny came out, as well as my uncle, even Mia came out, and Adam and Lisa got dressed and came out, too. "What is going on?" My granny asked."I am being stabbed in the back," I told her. "What happened?""Granny, Lisa is with Adam." I revealed.My grandmother stared at Lisa in surprise and turned to face Adam, "I don't understand what is going on?""I will explain it to you. Granny." Adam replied."The thing is that, on the first day Lisa and Clay arrived, and Clay introduced Lisa to me, I took a liking to her and it was the same for Lisa, she fell for me.However, I believed that Lisa was Clay's girlfriend, so I kept my feelings to myself. Moreover, I was still dating Mia, and I didn't want to hurt her in any way. I decided to bury the feelings
LISAI sat by the pool, feeling sad as I stared at the water.I was waiting for Clay's Granny, who had told me that she wanted to have a word with me.I was surprised by how Clay suddenly reacted. I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you. I've always been an open-minded person and I've always said that regardless of the girls my grandsons bring, I would give my blessings for them to get married because I want them to be happy.However, I want my grandsons to be at peace with each other, I want them to be happy and united
MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm
MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the
MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T
MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou
MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

LISAI reached out my hand in the morning to touch Adam but he wasn't on the bed. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone in the room.I sat up and smiled. I knew that Adam would be excited about the news I wanted to give him. From the moment I found out that there was a little life growing inside of me, I had been ecstatic and dying to tell him.However, I decided to give it a month and it was finally time. Since a month ago when Adam and I officially became a couple, he had been nothing short of sweet. He was the best man in the world and the one thing I wanted more than anything else was to spend the rest of my life with him.Our relationship had been drama-free and I couldn't be more grateful for that. At first, I feared that Clay had something up his sleeves, considering how much he used to hate Adam.Surprisingly, he had really made peace and now occasionally called to make light conversations with Adam. It made everyone happy, especially their Granny.I was even more grateful
ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along. I was upset with Clay, but a part of me still tried to forgiv
