\Meelah’s POV/If I am to rate Brian’s performance on Tuesday, I guess I will be giving him a 7.5 out of ten for how he stood out for me, took me to the store and selected outfits that I ended up loving for me. The 2.5 that I am withholding from the perfect score that he is supposed to get is for the method that he used in getting me to the mall, which is threading me because I didn’t like that at all, but apart from that, I had soo much fun. The whole outfit selection lasted way too long, and at the end of the day we ended up coming to a consensus that we should go home instead of us returning to the office because we were so exhausted. On our way home, Brian ordered take away from the restaurant because we didn’t inform the chef to prepare food in advance for us because we were going to return earlier than we normally do, so we just ordered food. My period had me behaving like a pregnant woman and I was so hungry that I couldn’t wait for us to get home before devouring the food
/Brian’s POV/I can’t exactly say that this whole week went by in a blur because my patience was tested plenty times especially when I had to add dealing with a grumpy wife to the lists of problems in my life, but thank goodness I was able to get my way around it. As for my personal assistant that felt that she has arrived and thought she could disrespect meelah, I punished her severely but I wasn’t exactly satisfied with just suspending her, cutting off 25% of her salary and redeploying her to another branch, I really wanted to know who sold the audacity to her to make her act the way she did and I won’t just rest easy until I got to the bottom of it because Amelia us someone that I have worked with for years and I know that she couldn’t just start misbehaving like that. I didn’t want to contact Amelia directly so that she won’t start nursing false hopes that I am probably trying to get to the button of the issue because I am sad to see her go, and there is every possibility that I
/Brian’s POV/I park the car well under one of the car canopies and I ponder on what to do because I am so clueless about everything that is going on here and I don’t want to start going on and out of the car because I don’t want to make Meelah up. “You know what?” I say to no one in particular. “Let’s just chat my sister up instead of calling my mom directly to ask about the plans she made because after we gave not really talked since I practically told her to stay clear Meelah and she should stop coming up with new excuses just to prove to me that meelah doesn’t serve to be a member of the kings family so it is just normal that things will be awkward between us especially because I put her in her place in front of Meelah that she dislikes so much. “Daddy’s favorite” I can’t Elva on snap instead of messaging her on WhatsApp because snap has its way of noticing someone when you are typing and when you eventually send the message, so I want to believe it will be more effective that
My Eyes snap open, and I suddenly manage to sit up while covered in a cold sweat with my body shaking and my heart pounding. I looking around the room suspicious and paranoid because I remember that I was in the car just a few moments ago, and I have no idea how I got to the dimly lit room. With the fear of Mrs Kings and Eloise that I just saw Moments ago, prying into the topic of my moms death still lurking around clouds my mind , I get up cautiously ,shivering as I rub my head and eyes fully waken so that I can be sure if they both followed me here or not, while still trying to navigate the dimly lit room with the candle I can see from afar as the only source of light in the room. The rattling of the door knob suddenly gets my attention, and in no time the door flings open making me scream in terror only for someone to walk in and shut the door almost immediately. “What is wrong with you” I hear Brian’s voice resound with worry as he flicks the switch, while I try to adjust my v
/Brian’s POV/I didn’t know what I was to to say and how exactly to react after going through all the stress of taking Meelah into the room and packing all the stuffs that needed to be packed while shuttling between the parking lot and the room that are far apart from each other, only for her to wake up and start acting weird. First of all she insinuated that I must have tried to take advantage of her given how she was searching her body frantically for any sign of it. secondly, instead of thanking me, all she had to say to me was that I should have woken her up instead. All I want to do right now is to find who sold that magnitude of audacity to her, because it is the audacity for me. Before I walked out of the room,I told her that I have stuffs to do so she can take her time even though I really did not want to leave the room and I wanted to rest so badly, but given that my mom and Eloise are in the perimeter, I could not raise my voice at her no matter how mad she makes me bec
/Brian’s POV/I squint my eyes open to the sound of my phone ringing loudly, and the only thing that my brain is telling me to do is to turn of the phone to shut out the noise. I hold down the button on the right panel of my phone and the upper volume button on the left side of the phone as I completely switch off the phone before going back to sleep. “I give you five minutes to open the door otherwise all hell will break loose in this resort today” I hear Elvas voice threatening me from one end of the room. “Are you so obsessed with me to the point that you now show up in my sleep?” I groan half asleep. “Bold of you to assume that I am obsessed with you” she hisses back. “ you locked me out of my room and you had the audacity to turn off your phone?” she scoffs “How dare you?” She screams angrily and that makes me to quickly spring out of bed with immediate effect and uttermost alertness to open the door for her, only for me to open the door and find out that she is not in fro
/Brian’s POV/My eyes snaps open to Meelah screaming with an horrified expression plastered on her face next to me, and that makes me look around the room frantically while stil really sleepy to see if I can identify problem fast so that I will be able to go back to sleep. “What made you scream? I ask her after looking around for a while without the trace of anything strange only for her to gulp nervously. “Did you have a nightmare? Or you were stung by an insect” I try to predict what must have gone wrong on her end to warrant such a loud scream. “ that is not the point here” she finally speaks making my brows furrow in confusion“So what is the point?” I question her because I am very sure that I didn’t dose off so there is no way she must have said something and I must have answered something contrary, do I want to believe that she is the one that is not making a complete sentence. “why did you sneak into the bed after I slept” she speaks up making me bat my eyelids in confusio
/Meelah’s POV/After I got off the call with Aurora, I went to bed straight because I didn’t feel motivated towards life at all, only for me to finally open my eyes because I was pressed and I met Brian sleeping next to me and I really freaked out because of how unexpected and random it was. I woke him up to ask him what he was doing on the bed because as far as I was concerned, we only used to share the same room, not the same bed so I was really dying to know what changed. I might have overacted a bit without and woken Brian up, but It felt like the best thing to do in that situation and I instantly regretted it after he gave me a piece of his mind before going back to bed. I paused for a while to process how he spoke to me, and after my five minutes of shock I decided to video call Aurora because I just needed someone to talk to, especially when my eyes were crystal clear and it didn’t feel like I was going to be able to fall asleep anytime soon. The plan was to just talk to Au
|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
|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
|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|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|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 wasn’t expecting that sly human being to take advantage of the situation by offering to help me if only I agreed to hear him out but I had to agree because I couldn’t let my girl’s efforts be in vain, and instead of sending the driver to get me a random ring, but Brian stepped down from the car himself to get me a ring which made me wonder what he is playing at.Anyway, Brian got me a pretty simple and elegant ring that doesn’t look as complicated as the previous ring and I love it because I think this ring sits my personality more, more so you will barely know that it is a counterfeit ring, so a win is a win for me.We are now at the event venue, and here is Brian stepping out of the car while I am waiting for him to open the door for me because even though I agreed to hear him out, he still has to make up for how miserable and rejected I felt during the week so that I can feel his sincerity.Big Daddy Brian has finally put the gentlemanly teachings he got from his wo
|Brian’s POV|After racking my brain, thinking of the best way to ask Meelah out to the movie premier, I decided to abandon the responsibility to the butler because I knew for a fact that I was the one whom Meelah had issues with, and she was not the kind of person that will take her anger out on an innocent butler by intentionally making his task difficult for him, and it worked because just when I was driving into kings estate yesterday, I saw Meelah’s driving out.I actually thought of driving out of the estate to block her wherever she was going to have a conversation with her, but for someone who made a conscious effort not to run into me even while we were living under the same roof, I knew better than to try, and thank goodness I decided against it because on getting home, I was informed by the butler that his part of the task was completed.I went about my after-work schedule normally, and while I finally settled down to eat dinner, I got a message from Elva that she had been
Everyone in this house except for me stayed up all night trying to help with the outfit and everything because my fashion enthusiast friend decided to make an outfit for me from scratch after she found out about the movie premier at the dying minute and she had got her team of designers here as early as 5 am to help with the process of making me an outfit despite my protest that it wasn’t necessary.Brian's sister also showed up with her team of makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail technicians, just to get me dolled up for the event, and I have been sitting here since I took my bath while they dress me up like a doll.“Your bestie wants to talk to you,” Aurora says, handing me her phone hours later after I sat to get my hair, nails, and makeup done without being allowed to check the mirror. “Are you not scared that I will see myself through the camera of the phone?” I question Aurora and that makes Elva block the camera from my view.“I still stand on the existing protocol that I w
\Meelah’s POV\After being made to feel stupid by Brian and like a total failure by my mother-in-law on Wednesday, I needed a way to vent, and the last thing I would have wanted in this life was to put a call through to my girls because I just like me, they had stuff going on in their lives, and it won’t make any sense for me to put everyone in a bad mood just because things were going sideways for me, so I went to mine and Brian’s bedroom to sleep but the more I laid on the bed, everything I could think about was how Brian kickstarted my day by overreacting to the perfume that was supposed to boost my confidence, so I ended up smashing the perfume bottle into the wall hoping it will make feel better but it barely did anything for me.I tried to snap out of the negative emotions that I was feeling so that I could be prepared for the next day’s work, but nothing seemed to be working so I resorted to something that I wouldn’t normally resort to just to escape my problems even if it was t
