They arrived at a house some time later. Just like before, Rose motioned for the men to carry Diane into the house and Michael walked behind them. He is surprised Diane hasn't shown any sign of waking up despite how much she was being moved around. Well, he does not know what was fed to her so he was left with no choice but to follow closely behind them. He is so confused by everything that was happening. The discussion and planning he had with Rose was a lot different than this. Everything has changed and he was also waiting for a surprise every now and then. "Leave us alone" Rose sent the men away after they lay Diane down on the bed. And they close the door gently behind them. "Strip her off her outer garments" Rose said to Micheal, who in return stared at her like she was crazy. "Why are you giving me that look, I believe that is not new to you. Do as I tell you we don't have much time. She will be waking up soon." Rose gave little thought to the stunned look he was gi
Diane could not stop the giggle that escaped her mouth from the tickling sensation the kisses were giving her. Soon soft moan followed the giggles. Her body slowly came alive. She melted further into his arms as their lips sealed. Their tongues intertwined, exploring each other. Diane felt his large palm caressing her body, her stomach flutters like millions of butterflies came alive in there. She held tightly onto him as she fell deeper into the abyss of desire. Diane felt herself being lifted from her present position Jeremy took them to the large lounge close to the window. He lay her down gently on the furniture, their eyes locking. Emotions swirl in them, feelings that are better conveyed through touches rather words. Jeremy trace kisses down the hollow of her neck, to the swell of her bossom. Diane arch her back, his lips performing magic to her body. In the next moment air hit Diane on her now bare upper body while her blouse finds its way to the floor. Her bra fol
Diane decided to retire to bed early even though she was not sleepy. She was very worried, she had last seen Jeremy since morning and he hasn't been picking her calls since noon. She was informed by the secretary that he left with Gregg in early afternoon but did not return to the office and she had kept waiting for him. Where are you Jeremy?. The ringing of her phone startled her from her daze. Picking up the call. "Hello" she said in a dejected manner. "Heyyyy, Diane dear. I have missed you so so much, you are the worst friend ever. You haven't checked on me all these while" Rhea's loud voice penetrated the phone. Diane flinched from how loud she was talking and how noisy the background noise was. Where the hell is she?. "I'm sorry I have been caught up in work" Diane apologized sincerely, because she has also been feeling unhappy that she hasn't checked on her but Rhea was far from being offended as she yelled into the phone. "Where are you now? Home?". Diane reduces
The few maids around when they got home were all alarmed to see their boss in such a condition. Diane did not bother to say anything to them and continued to get him further inside the house to his room. She was panting and straining herself to keep both of them in an upright position. Her leg shakes from his weight as they climb the stairs, any wrong move and they will both barrel down the long flight of stairs like a couple of rag dolls. Diane said a silent prayer of thanks to God when they made it to the room. She pushed him gently to the bed. "Ouch!" Diane let out a yelp of shock as she was dragged down with him on the bed. She landed on his body. Diane stared down at him while she struggled to get up. "Stop trying to get up, you will hurt yourself." "Well, it's not comfortable" Diane replied and was flipped over in the next seconds. Diane now lying on her back stare up at him "Please don't leave me alone tonight" Jeremy said in a sad note. He knew he had drunk more
Rhea opens her eyes frowning at the brightness of the room. Who turned on the lights?. She doesn't sleep with the lights on. "Are you awake? Or do you still want to sleep some more?. I can assure you it's noon already by the way". Benjamin's presence in the room confuses Rhea. " What are you doing in my room?" She asked, ignoring the headache that's about to split her head in half. Benjamin threw her a glare at the question. "I will have some clothes prepared for you, take your bath and join me for breakfast". The words that rolled off his tongue sound strange to her. Why was he talking to her that way?. Why does he sound angry?. And this is not her room!. Looking down at her clothes, her eyes widened as she realized she was still in the clothes she wore out yesterday. She hadn't changed them before going to bed. How had she gotten here?. Rhea feels her body come alive after the hot shower. She smiles at her reflection from the mirror. She was glad she had successful
The bed dipped as Jeremy lift himself out bed, his head was pounding from the worst headache he has ever experience in his life. Noticing something strange, his eyes took in the figure wrapped in bed covers on the same bed he had spent the night. He zoned out a bit, trying to figure out how he had ended up in this current frame of mind. While he was lost in thought the sleeping person stirred and suddenly she open her eyes. Her gaze was unfocused and lost for short while, until she realized where she was and flashed him a warm smile. "Good morning" Diane stretch feeling her muscle relaxed. "Why are you just standing there naked?" Diane chuckle as she felt herself blush from the appearance of the man just short distance away from her. Upon hearing her words Jeremy only just realized he was wearing nothing. "I don't think you should be bothered by it, you have seen enough of it already." "Will you join me for shower" Jeremy asked motioning towards the bathroom. Diane almost go
Rose's brow furrow when she heard the door bell rang through the quiet house. She had been preparing a meal and wasn't expecting anyone by this time of the day. Opening the door she got the biggest shock of the day. She mask her surprise by smiling at him. "Jeremy I wasn't expecting you-. "Can I come in?" He cut her off annoyed by the pleasantries. "Of course" Rose moved out of the way for him. Her palm grows sweaty as she became nervous. The last time she had set her eyes on him was when she was in Diane's room and she had been so angry that day but now he was in her house to see her!. Rose remain composed as she follow him to the living area, he remain standing even after she offered him a seat and she frown at him in confusion. "What are you up to Rose?". Hearing him say her name made her feel giddy inside. They haven't had real conversations before, it is either him calling to inform her about one or two things about Lawrence but here he was now. " Nothing serious ac
"I have something to show you, come with me" Jeremy led Diane out of the house via the back door connecting the kitchen to the garden. Diane became curious and a little nervous.She wasn't expecting any surprises today again, but here they are."Wow" Diane breathed out, mesmerized by the garden.Gentle breeze dances around her as she walks through the garden enjoying the presence of different species of flowers around her."Oh, I'm sorry. I had forgotten you wanted to show me something""What is it that you wanted me to see?". She apologized to Jeremy only to see that he was some distance away.Jeremy had stopped to watch her, he had gotten carried away while admiring her.She brought peace and tranquility to his life, despite the problem he is currently trying to solve. His love for her has continued to increase and that is why he is making this decision now."I wanted to ask you a question"He replied to her question without moving an inch from where he stood."And what is that q
The initially planned lunch that was supposed to happen among a few people ended up being a small party. Adding to the fact that it was the weekend, unexpected guests came filling up the large dining room of the large villa.The house belongs to Jeremy's parents, he also lived there when he was little before he left after high school."I thought you said your parent invited us over why then are these people here?" Diane whispered into Jeremy's ear as she looked skeptically at the pot-bellied man that just sat down not far from her."Listen everyone"Jeremy's Dad's voice rang out and was clear getting everyone's attention.The lunch was just about to start and they all seemed as confused as everyone present."I have invited everyone here because I have an important announcement to make. Once the last person arrives I will do so. Meanwhile, enjoy your meal". He concluded with a rarely-seen smile.If Jeremy hadn't known his father very well he would believe he might be forcing the smile b
At the opening of the door, Rhea brought down the iron chair on the head of the man while shaking with fear. A wave of relief passed over her as he went down in a heap. Bolting through the door, a long shrill of terror escaped her mouth as she bump into someone. It was dark and hard for her to see. The person held her in a strong grip before whispering hurriedly. "Shush!, it's me". Not believing her ears Rhea went into a phase of shock from disbelief. The bodyguard that had followed Benjamin turned on a flashlight putting some light into the darkness. "Rhea, can you hear me?". Benjamin shook her. Realizing she wasn't dreaming Rhea's lower lips shook slightly as she fought back tears. Hugging him tightly like he was going to disappear in the next second. "We don't have enough time, let's get out of here," Benjamin said lifting Rhea in his arms. "Bring him along," Benjamin said referring to Mark who was out cold on the floor. "How did you find me?" Rhea asked in a choked voi
Benjamin held his head in pain, debris from the bottle falling off.His lips tightened in annoyance.Before he could react fully to the attack, Mark rushed at him, toppling him over.They take turns turning each other over, at the sound of snapping bones Benjamin had overpowered Mark."You have made the worst mistake you could ever think of," Benjamin declared breathlessly in a coarse voice.Picking up his phone he hurriedly dialed a number."I need you to come somewhere right now, I will send the address". Benjamin said into the phone.Mark remained on the floor like he was lifeless.His breath comes in shallow intake.Yes, he has officially screwed up."I told you I won't leave until I get what I want, you should have remained in prison. Why have you come out?".Benjamin asked while rubbing the spot the bottle had hit him. His fingertips become stained with blood.'Shit!'.Benjamin continues to pace around the room where they currently are, looking around the room. He picked up a lo
Diane wasn't expecting the arms that went around her in an affectionate hug the moment she stepped out of her car."What are you doing here?" Diane asked while chuckling."I asked you to call but you never did, and I told you that I can't spend a day without you. Have you forgotten that?"."I'm sorry, I forgot to call. I wanted you to miss me a bit". Diane replied leading the way into the house."I intended to call once I have rested"."Well, I'm here now". "And you can see that I am fine, can you go back now?". Not believing his ears, Jeremy asked."Are you chasing me away?""Actually my curiosity brought me here, what was your mom's reaction?"Amongst many things she wasn't surprised, just worried"."That's nice but there is a problem"."What problem?""My parents want to see the two of us this weekend, on Saturday precisely". Jeremy's face reflects his thoughts matching that of Diane."Why had they invited us over?" Diane asked worrying her lower lip."Dan left early today, or d
"Is it Micheal?" Diane's mom asked in a voice filled with apprehension.Diane could feel her mom's fear as she stare down at the ring that occupy her middle finger."No, it's someone else". She replied, smiling as her face relaxed in relief."Who is it then? What is his name?What does he do?".Rosalind could not help the curiosity that overcame her.The last time she had set her eyes on her daughter she had been broken, she will not be happy to witness that again but God knows she is happy for her."His name is Jeremy, I work for him.You will know all you want to know when you meet him". "Sweetheart, are you sure about him?" Rosalind's voice shook slightly as she asked the question.Diane release a shaky breathe, she knew what her mom is scared of. She is also scared but the trust she has in Jeremy made her smile reassuringly at her."I'm very sure"."Congratulations dear, I'm so happy for you". "Thank you, Rosalind". Diane replied, getting a burst of loud laughter out of her.~
Diane chuckled as she listened to Jeremy's grumpy voice from the phone. He sounded like a mistreated kid."Why don't you want me to go with you? don't you want me to meet her?" His voice shows how unhappy he is."Of course, you will meet her very soon. I just have some things to discuss with her" Diane continued in a reassuring voice."When will you be back?"."if I leave early I should be back before night"."Are you sure you will be fine?".Diane almost belts out in laughter at his question, she knows he is concerned but she just finds it excessive."Are you worried about me because you will miss me?"."I'm more worried about you sending someone to the hospital over there".His words rendered Diane short of a few seconds before she found her voice again."Jeremy!""I'm sorry, are you okay by the way?"."I'm good, you promised to let me know how Micheal was doing after checking on him"."How is he now?"."He is doing okay, I checked on him last night"."Enough about him, I am about t
"Can you read me one more story, mommy?" Lawrence's voice snap Rose back to reality. She could smell the soft fragrance that was coming off him.Even if she was not his biological mother she couldn't still love him less."This is enough for the night, I promise to read you as many as you want tomorrow". She said, persuasively closing the book."Good night, sweetheart". She said tucking him in."Goodnight mommy" he mumbles in reply as sleep slowly claim him.Rose left the room lost in thought, she was now starting to grow scared. Michael had called her some moment ago that It seems like Jeremy was suspecting him too.If that happens and judging by Jeremy's personality he definitely would not go easy on any of them but that is if he was able to get evidence."What is the matter?", she asked in anger as one of her men rushed into the house.It's late already and she hates to have them around or else she demands they stay."I'm sorry Ma'am, I was asked to deliver a message to you"."What
Jeremy's POV "Are you threatening me?" She asked, somewhat scared. I laugh inwardly. I have to admit that watching her walk into the restaurant to meet Michael without stopping her was a hard fit for me. But seeing how things proceeded I am quite relieved. He deserves all he had coming his way. The main issue now is how to make sure Dad and mom doesn't find out about this. Uncle Miles is a shrewd man and he might have informed Dad already. "Jeremy, am I going to be jailed for this?" She asked bringing me out of my thoughts. "You are too smart for the question you just asked, what do you think will happen?" My question threw her into a deep thought. She is a smart woman, that I am very sure. I am just surprised she showed this side of her this night, it only means Michael still hold a place in her heart. "I do not know much about the law but I am also aware that I can be pardoned on some conditions". She replied turning towards me with sad eyes. "What really happe
Diane's POV "You said you would tell me what happened but you haven't said a single word since you embarked on this mission to kill the both of us" Rhea said while I quickly parked the car.I don't even bother to park the vehicle properly. "Wait for me here, I will be out in a few minutes" I replied before she could undo her seat belt."Are you sure?"" Yes""Please don't do anything crazy"She said nervously.I prepare myself before going into the restaurant, I wish I can claw his eyes out.That asshole will smell his ass tonight."I'm over here" I followed the voice that called out to me from a few tables away. He is seated at a corner, well that's a good spot."Diane, I have to say I'm glad you decided to see me tonight" He said, and I feel my stomach turn uncontrollably. "So what would you like to eat?" He asked, gesturing towards the menu."I'm not here to eat" I said, trying not to let my anger out yet."Then…..Do you miss me?. Is that why you are here?" He asked,
