"Mr Anthony, you came with..." One of my business partners asked as she eyed Lisa, probably thinking that she's my mistress."She's a long time friend who came around to visit me, my wife is actually feeling indisposed, so she told me to come with her just to keep me company" I muttered."I hope it's what we have all been waiting for? I can't wait to see your child with her" she said with a chuckle."Who knows? It might be or not" Lisa replied with a fake smile."I wasn't talking to you! I don't like you and I don't think that I ever will! You look so fake and..." She trailed off as she eyed her as if she's the worst thing in this world."It's so pathetic that some people don't just appreciate or tend to like good things," she retorted, flipping her hair with a proud smirk."Don't you think that you're not even in the right position to be the judge..." She replied with a cocky smile but I interrupted her."Lisa! Keep your words in check and apologize this instant" I said with a cold g
I was sitting at my desk working endlessly and tirelessly with a sheepish smile on my face thinking about Ayla but the smile suddenly turned into a deep frown when I remembered that Lisa girl that's here to cause a rift between Ayla and I. Even though I'm pretending to be alright with everything, I'm seriously scared, nervous and confused about everything happening. Something in my guts keeps on telling me that she's here for a bad cause but I wasn't ready to believe that, perhaps because a part of me still loves and cares for her even though I'm in denial."Boss!" Richard called barging into the office, his voice laced with urgency, uncertainty and fear."What's it again this time around, Richard? Don't tell me that something bad happened in the company" I groaned as I loosened my tie a bit, preparing myself for the news he's about to sprout out, probably good or bad but his body language showed that it's bad news."Boss, have you checked the news? " He asked, sitting down in fron
Richard and I stepped out of the company in the night, it was around 8. I was extremely tired even though I didn't do any work today. All I need right now is to soak myself in cold water for a very long time, and sleep after a full body massage."You look stressed out, I wonder how exhausted you would be right now if i didn't tell us to take a break, you really needed it" he remarked as he helped me unlock the door of my car."I'm just exhausted and sleepy at the moment, don't know why. I'll leave now" I said as I was about to enter my car when his words stopped me."You look like you need adequate rest, why don't you go for a vacation with Ayla even if it's just for one day. I'll take care of everything in this place while you're away and I'm sure that the workers would also be versatile in their duties" he said thoughtfully while I just held my chin like I was in a deep thought."Just accept it for old time sake, please. By now, you should know that I love this company like mine.
I want to forget about the past but it's really hard since...."Boss! We're home already" the driver said as he tapped me gently, pulling me out of my train of thoughts.I smiled at him and walked out of the door, I inhaled a deep breath and entered the house. I almost lost my cool when I saw Lisa yelling at Ayla, who was sipping wine so calmly and nonchalantly like someone who was being entertained by a boring fellow. That lazy, boring and nonchalant but calm look."And don't you dare look at me with that look in your eye!" Lisa yelled angrily as she was breathing heavily and erratically."And if I do?" Ayla asked with a chuckle and I almost laughed at how pained Lisa looked at that moment."Don't forget that he met and fell in love with me first and I can still bet it with you that he still loves me, after all it's said that it's really difficult to unlove your first love" she said with pride evident in her voice as she moved her hand in front of Ayla’s face like she wanted to put
Good riddance! Her audacity still baffles me, for real. I was almost at the edge of hurting her earlier. How dare she try to come into my home and break it with some story about her being pregnant for my husband. I threw my head backward and laughed wholeheartedly for a long time till my stomach aches and tears spilled out of my eyes.I don't want to admit it but I was scared that she'll steal Jaxon's attention away from me using her pregnancy as bait. The thought deeply bothered me to the extent that I was considering having a child for Jaxon also. I'm sure that he'll love my child more since he loves me but a part of me believes that he loves her.A tear rolled out of my eyes at that thought and I felt my heart squeeze and I choked on my breath, as I tried to breathe properly. It hurts that I love him so much to the extent that mere thoughts about him with another woman moved me to tears and it made me feel this hurt and bitter.I couldn't help but wonder how I'll feel if it reall
"You know, I never thought that I'll be in my private jet with the love of my life, going on a vacation this year. The way everything happened so fast between us still amuses me, I mean can't you remember the first time we met in my office, you literally walked into my office breathing out invisible fire! You were so angry that day" I said while laughing seriously, I stared at Ayla when I didn't hear a response from her."You look worried, mind sharing what's bothering you?" I asked as I held her hand and she jerked up immediately, I looked at her eyes with worry and concern laced in mine, "babe, what's going on? You know that you can tell me anything right?" I asked with my brows pulled together."I'm fine, I'm just thinking about everything that happened during the last few days. They're not my worst days and they ain't my best also" she said staring at the view outside the private jet through the window, " it's so beautiful and bright from up here" she gasped as she covered her mo
"Ohh, how about you catch me first?" She asked as she ran away from me laughing happily while I just jogged after her because I know that if I run, I'll catch her without even trying to do so."Geez! You're such a fast runner" I groaned playfully as I jogged after her while she kept on running around the place happily and I took my phone out of my jeans. I started snapping and making short videos of her to my heart's content."It's not my fault that you're such a slow poke!" She yelled, sticking out her tongue at me and I ran towards her. I caught her in my arms and we twirled around the place as she laughed out loud. It sounded so beautiful and full of life, I didn't want that laugh to stop. I wanted to listen to more of that melodious and heart soothing, calming laughter of hers."Stop it, you're tickling me!" She screamed as she laughed and tried to wiggle herself out of my arms but she was unable to and I tickled her even more.We played so much to the extent that my body was fil
I enjoyed myself yesterday. Jaxon and I went to his private penthouse after the storm was over that night. We got there the next morning, we decided to have fun and chill. We cooked, or he actually cooked for us and we ate.We enjoyed the rest of the day chilling and eating junk food while watching the movies of my choice."You're finally up? I wanted to wake you up to tell you that we were home but I couldn't bring myself to wake you up especially when you were looking so innocent and tired in your sleep. Should I massage your body for you again today?" He asked with a sweet smile as he walked into the room on a singlet and joggers.My insides churn as I stared at his broad chest, I looked away shyly when I saw him smirking at me."Done staring?" He asked with an arrogant smirk sitting prettily on his hot face, an arrogant smirk that I got addicted to over the days, the same arrogant smirk that always annoys the hell out of me that suddenly looks so cute to me. I couldn't ever get
