She took gentle steps to the door and opened it, meeting a smiley faced Harry.“You're here on time” she stated with a smile, stepping out of the room.“I could never be late for this.” he replied with an infectious smile. His eyes scanned her dressing, checking her out. She was dressed in a black sleeveless dinner gown that hugged her body tightly with a slit from from her thighs downwards. She had a beautiful gold necklace round her neck with matching earrings and her hair was styled beautifully, letting it fall backwards.“You look extraordinarily beautiful today.” he complimented breathlessly, still unable to take his eyes away from her.“Thank you.” came her shy reply. She was already blushing from his intent stare all over her body. He took her hand in his' and they walked over to his car. Stopping by the passenger door in front, he opened it, guiding her slowly into the seat before closing it back. He did a little victory dance which looked funny before turning to the driver's s
“I love you” he repeated himself for clarity and she gulped, staring at him. She knew she enjoyed spending time with him, she enjoyed laughing at his jokes. But love?She had always thought love to be very sacred and was hoping to someday meet the one that would make her heart flip and finally, she had met him.“I love you too” the words slipped out of her mouth on its own accord, making Harry's eyes widen in surprise.“For real?” he asked, still in shock. He wasn't expecting her to say the words. She nodded in response and he broke into a wide smile before pulling her into a hug. They stayed in the hug for some seconds before he spoke. “I can't believe this. You just made me the happiest man today.”She smiled at him as he broke away from the hug. He held her hand as his expression suddenly turned serious. She noticed the changes in his mood and nudged him, probing him to tell. “I know you probably know many things about me, the fact that I'm a player and all that, but this one is re
Harry emerged from the hotel room dressed in black designer suits, his suitcase held securely in his right hand. He took brief graceful steps to meet up with his secretary who was patiently waiting for him along the lobby.“Ten minutes to go.” his secretary stated with a smile, looking at the watch on his wrist. “You are quite on time, sir.”Harry nodded, handing over the suitcase to his secretary before they walked out of the hotel. Ciara had returned to her house some minutes after Harry had dropped the call with his secretary that morning. They had kissed and said their final goodbye, with Harry promising to come see her soon.The car drove up and stopped in front of the hotel entrance as soon as Harry stepped out. His secretary opened the door for him and he stepped in, his secretary occupying the front seat.“The airport” his secretary announced to the driver once they were comfortably seated. —-Damian was seated in his sitting room, a half filled bottle of whiskey placed on a s
Alexa gave a little laugh as she reduced the pitch of her voice. “My flight just landed. I'm in Los Angeles right now.”“I sent a driver to pick you up with the white Lamborghini. He should be there already.” Jack replied, pinching the bridge of his nose tiredly.“Seen him already. I'll see you soon.” Alexa interjected, ending the call. She smiled broadly as she waved at the driver from where she stood. She was dressed in a black cargo pant, a white crop top and a jacket. Her hair was braided beautifully, giving her a hot star look.The driver stopped in front of her, winding down the glass. “Miss Alexa Antonio?”“Yes. That's me. I guess you're the driver my brother sent?” she replied.The driver helped her put her luggage in the car before they drove off.“How is Los Angeles? It's been months since I left.” She tried to initiate a conversation with the driver who was dressed smartly in a white shirt and black trousers. He had a clean haircut and neatly carved beards that accentuated h
“You didn't tell me you have a sister, not even a sibling,” Karen stated as they walked away from the door.“I guess we didn't hang on long enough to find out.” Jack shrugged in response.“Yeah. Right.” She responded as he opened the door for her.“That is Alexa. Alexa Ellyn Antonio. My younger sister. She's 20, studying law at texas.” he explained. “Nice. I guess that explains why she isn't aware of, you know… ” Karen stated, gesturing with her hands to make a point and Jack was quick to grab it. She was referring to their entire relationship fiasco that had gone down. After He had realized his mistakes, he paid all the blogs and media houses that carried the news to take them down.“I'll see you soon. Take care.” He pulled her into a quick hug and released her a few seconds later. They were now standing in front of her car in the parking lot. She waved at him as she got into her car before driving off.~~~“Hello,” The deep gruff voice said into the phone. “What news do you have abo
Jack made his six and a half hours journey to New York and arrived thirty minutes past five pm. The road was buzzing with life as his car eased into the hotel where he was to spend the night. It was the same hotel he owned, where a section was undergoing remodeling.He remained at the backseat of the car as he made a call to the hotel manager.“I'm at the hotel. Do we meet tonight or we meet over tea tomorrow?”“Over tea tomorrow morning is perfect. I understand that you just had a long trip.” the manager replied and he nodded, grateful for the fact that the manager was understanding.He dropped the call and stepped out of the car, walking into the hotel building. He had a personal suite in the hotel that was built only for his visits and was made out of limit to staff at the hotel. He placed his personalized card on the door and it scanned, opening up few seconds later. He dumped his bag on the bed, falling down tiredly beside it. He pulled out his shoes before walking into the ensui
“You've got a beautiful office.” Ciara complimented, having a feel of his table. It was made of refined wood with silver coating.“Thanks. Spent a little fortune on making this my little heaven.” he replied, leaning on the table. He pulled her closer by the waist and they stood few feet apart, staring at each other. “Wanna grab lunch with me?”She looked at her watch, checking the time before raising her head to reply to him. “This is few minutes past noon, I think I have a few minutes to spare.”“Alright then, my treat.” he took her hands in his as they walked out of the office. ___Karen's phone rang on the table as she paused her work and picked it up. She stared at the contact for a second and shrugged before picking it. The number was unsaved, and most times, it was often from prospective clients.“Good afternoon. This is Karen Smith. How may I help you.” she stated politely with a very professional tone as she picked the call. She placed the phone on her ears and waited for her
Alexa watched the nurse open the liquid to be injected to her father, drawing it into the syringe through the needle before injecting his arm. She watched her carefully as she mixed the drugs before presenting them to her dad. Her ears itched to hear what the doctor was discussing with her brother, but she knew better than to interrupt.“Is he going to get better?” She asked, watching her dad gulp down the drugs with the water.“It is not in my power to say that, but, like the doctor said, he's improving.” The nurse tried to clear the little tension with a short forced laugh. But, she saw through that. The doctor said he was getting better, but she clearly didn't see any of that. He still looked the same, if not worse. Jack stepped back into the hospital room, joining her at the bedside and she only spared him a single glance before returning to stare at her father. She knew the conversation they had before the doctor's interruption had died a natural death. She could see the uncomfor
