|Brian’s POV|After trying to get Meelah familiar with the movie she didn’t look interested in the slightest, probably because this type of movie is not her kind of thing, she stepped out of the cinema to get some fresh air, but she went for a long time.Even though I want to keep enjoying my movie, I have no choice but to step out to check up on Meelah simply because I brought her here and I have to make sure that she has a wonderful experience, or else the aim of bringing her here will be defeated.I stand in front of the event hall, scanning around to see if my eyes can capture Meelah from afar to assure myself that she is fine so that I can return to the movie theater but I see her with a man who is busy taking pictures of her and from the looks of it, I don’t think this is the first time they are meeting because of how he is putting his hands on her to direct each pose he wanted her to strike when he could have just described it tor her or strike the pose instead of touching her
|Meelah’s POV|I should have known that running into RK the previous night was not going to end well or should I say that I should not have unblocked that villain and tried to give him the benefit of doubt by thinking he must have had a valid reason for decamping to the enemies camp, but it was obvious from all indication that RK chose Jayden Conor and Skylar over me because of the money that they offered him, but the question that has been on my mind since yesterday was why RK Is still trying so hard to be in my good graces after everything that happened.To say that I was livid when Skylar tried to mess up my life once again by using RK was an understatement, and even though I had so many unanswered questions for Ryan, I was way too blinded by rage to hear him out, and now that everything ended up blowing out of proportion, I kinda wished that I was patient enough to hear him out so that I can at least get closure and move on with my life.I ended up avoiding Brain after we got home
|BRIAN’s POV|“Can you stop being difficult and just tell me who the photographer nigga at the movie premier is?” I urge Meelah because her nonchalant attitude is seriously starting to piss me off.“No one important,” she answers, waving the issue like it is nothing important as she focuses on her breakfast.“Photographer nigga is no one important, but you and your sister were fighting over him?” I remark to get a reaction from Meelah, and judging from the way she pauses dramatically from reaching for the baked beans that are a part of the breakfast platter, I know that I must have struck a nerve.“Fighting over him?” she scoffs.“Are you for real right now?” she questions, looking at me dead in the eyes.“How was I minding my business and getting my pictures taken, only for me to get drenched by the torn in my flesh the same things as me fighting over a man?” she expresses painfully and that makes me realize that I must have gone too far.“Fine…. I apologize for my insensitive choice
|Meelah’s POV|Sunday went by in a blur with my girls showing up at mine and Brian’s house because they were worried sick about me switching off my phone after the incident that happened at the movie premier not only did they just help uplift my mood, but they also mentally prepared me to face the cold world (Kings Corp).It's Monday morning and instead of excitedly walking towards the tall and imposing structure that is standing out against the sky, reaching for the clouds in front of me with the windows arranged in a grid-like pattern in front of me, I am quite nervous but also eager to start work after being away for a while.I park my latest baby (the Tesla that was gifted to me by my father-in-law), then I take out a few of my necessities while clutching my ID badge, my bag, and other necessities, and then head towards the reception desk.I greet the security guard with a friendly smile and I swipe my badge at the entrance turnstile, hearing the satisfying beep that confirms my a
|Meelah’s POV|I start rounding up the exercise of decluttering my space because this is the first time I am getting back home at the normal closing hour instead of working overtime like I have been doing with Brian, only for my phone to start ringing, so I pause what I am doing to pick up the call.“Hey babes… how are you doing?” Eden says as soon as I pick up the video calls and before I can reply to her, the other girls join the call.“Melanie Caleb… you skipped two girl’s nights without any call nor explanation to justify your actions,” Aurora accuses as soon as she joins the call.“Hmmm,” I sigh deeply.“The past two weeks have been crazy in Kings Corporation, with me trying to stay out of my husband’s ex-girlfriend who tries to sabotage me at any opportunity that she gets, the latest project of Kings Corporation that has been making both Brian and I work overtime because he needs to prove to his father that he can handle the company while I have had to prove to people that I did
/Brian's POV/ I stare at my phone waiting for my friend,Elliot to reply my message but his W******p about icon has been showing ‘typing’ for the past five minutes. I feel a prick of sadness as I stare at my other friend sitting next to me in the car but she looks quite occupied with what she is doing on her phone. Right now, I need somebody to help me calm these nerves that are all over the place,but out of my three friends, Elliot is the only friend that is in support of my engagement. "His meeting must have commenced" I sigh in disappointment as I turn off my cellular connection and slide my phone in the breast pocket of my wine suit before staring out of the window. I have anticipated this day over the past two weeks and now that the day is finally here, I can't wait to get to the venue to get started as I take one step closer to forever with the love of my life. "How do you feel about all this?" my friend, Rhea finally breaks the silence in the car and I observe her keenly f
/Brian’s pov/ I start waking towards the direction of where she is gracefully setting up the tripod in her hand. I may not have had so many interactions with Melanie caleb, but she made quite an impression on me when I screened her for the post of my fathers assistant. More than wanting to speak to Melanie as an excuse to get Rhea off my back, I think I will use this opportunity to relay something important to her about how I want my proposal to be . I know that me approaching any other Emerald ( the girl gang that Ember belongs to) would have gone the trick, but Rhea feels exceptional hatred towards Meelah because was suspended from college because of meelah which makes Meelah a stronger option to consider. “Miss Caleb” I refer to Melanie in a professional tone but instead she looks around before awkwardly pointing to herself. “You are Melanie Caleb Caleb right?” I ask her when she doesn’t stop staring at me in a questionable manner. “ of course I am “ she an
/Brian's pov/I hold her hand as I lead her towards the stairs on the high table but I notice that she was walking really slowly like she was going to trip and fall "This is not going to work" I mumble as I lift her off the ground carrying in a bridal styled way because that is exactly what she is to me, she is my bride. "What are you doing?" I she inquires in an alarmed voice "Don't open your eyes" I quickly instruct her so that she doesn't ruin my Suprise. "I know you are trying to prevent a situation of me slipping down the stairs, but I promise to follow your lead carefully so just put me down" she tries to convince me "Carrying you all the way is much more effective and beautiful than asking you to close your eyes and leading you there like a blind person" I answers her still moving Ember buries her head on my chest and I smile because she looks really cute while trying to avoid everyone focusing on us but on the contrary I am enjoying the attention . She eventually sl
