SEKANI.

"Thank you for coming!" I called out to the last guest to leave. As soon as I left, I leaned against the door and heaved a sigh of relief. Today was a success, I had to admit. Even if I didn't want any of this; marriage, Sean, and many other things, I'd been able to get back in touch with old friends and business associates, promising to get back to me in a few days.

Sean had also taken the initiative by walking around and mingling with people. I had spent most of my time drinking and watching him speak to a few people. He was smart to get his head out of his pants and do the right thing.

I needed to be at home. Mya's babysitter had called in that Mya had come down with a fever. I immediately sent the family doctor to check on her. He had called an hour later to inform me that she was better and needed rest.

Turning on my feet, I limped all the way back to my seat to grab my purse, smiling and nodding at the ushers and organizers in approval. They had done a good j

    SEAN. "I have scheduled the wedding for the weekend at an exclusive garden. Drop by at my office once it's evening and the contract can be signed." The call ended in my ear before I could say anything. I looked down at my phone, a ghost of a smile on my face before I heard a throat clear. Jake was seated before me, an expectant look on his face as he raised his brows. "Why did she call?" "Our wedding is this weekend." "Wow," Jake heaved and leaned back against his seat. "It's been barely two days since the engagement party and she has already scheduled the wedding for this weekend. She should have waited to recover at least." "We both know she has the money to host parties for the next one month without being affected by it." "Right." He nodded. "So are we still dropping by at one of the branches?" I pushed my seat back and rose to my feet, snatching my suit jacket from behind my swivel chair. I slipped it on before giving Jax a reply. "No. I suggest that we

    SEKANI: "Don't apply too much concealer. I need my makeup sleek and moderate. None of that bridal nonsense." I demanded, whilst looking down at Mya who had just walked into the room with her babysitter. They were both dressed beautifully in the gown I'd gotten for them. Mya had a snow white dress and her hair was gelled and tied up with a pale blue ribbon which was one of the wedding themes. As for her babysitter, she wore a pale blue dress and a jacket that clung to her side and paid with low-heeled pumps. She looked quite stressed and that was because she'd been the one to take care of Mya for the whole of this week, nonstop. Thankfully, she was a single lady. I was already starting to consider hiring her as a full-time nanny and having her move into the house. "Mum, why am I not the little bride?" She asked, her expression sullen. "Today is your wedding. I should be the little bride. And also, I don't know who you're getting married to." Sighing, I glanced at her bab

    SEAN: For the first time in a while, I felt so out of place. Sekani was barely even speaking to me and didn't care if people noticed there was some sort of strain between us both. Instead, she steered me toward potential clients once again, telling me to better act like I was interested in what they had to say. She'd asked me to play cool with the fact that we weren't walking around the reception hall, hand in hand and smiling at everyone. "So Sean, tell me, what is Atrix communications like right now with how fast the world is modernizing." One of the older men, whom I learned had several five-star hotels around Europe, asked with a grin of curiosity. I took a sip, a sign of confidence in myself and whatever statement I had to offer. "You know, with the world rapidly turning into a technologically savvy globe, Atrix is following the pace. We don't slack. If the world moves an inch, we do the same or even move a few inches more. You see, that is how things should be

    SEAN: "Jealous?!" I yelled as soon as we got to a dark corner. One of the conference halls was empty and she pushed it open, turning to look at me with a shrug. "You disrespected me, Sekani! And you call it me being jealous?" "Yes." She replied in a curt voice, snapped her purse open before she pulled out her lipstick and her power. I watched as she expertly smeared it over her lips, dabbed the powder pad against her skin really lightly before snapping it shut and turning to me. "You're being jealous, c'mon. Everyone knows Luca is my friend." "But I haven't seen him since we met," I hissed, drawing close to her. She looked so perfect. So perfect that I wanted to strangle any man who looked like he was in the way, not even minding if he was her best friend or not. And Luca or whatever his name was, didn't feel like he was trustworthy in any way. "Not at the engagement party. Why today of all days?" "Because he was on a trip! He went to Trinidad and Tobago. He's a fucking ex

    SEKANI: It had been a week since the wedding and gifts were still coming. It was honestly starting to get tiring that I couldn't go one fucking day without someone sending a gift my way. Every morning, I would walk into my office and find a hamper basket or a gift box and hell, even a car. I'd sent everything to Sean, knowing fully well that he needed it more than I did. He could realize a few hundred thousand dollars from one of the cars. Maybe a million too. I was doing a good thing for him. One of the incentives of being married to the one and only Sekani of Ultra Media. He'd called a few times after the wedding but I'd been too busy to pick up, diverting the call to my assistant and looking for excuses to make sure he didn't get to me somehow. I needed space. He's been around since the engagement. Even before then. We'd planned things out, kissed even when I didn't want it, danced together, and faked smiles in public. I needed him to stop disturbing me like

    SEAN: A week. It had been a week since I last spoke to or saw Sekani. I'd given her a call after the wedding as soon as I got back to my apartment but all of my rings had been either diverted to her voice mail which she never responded to anyway, or flat lined ended before I could say anything in defense. And not only did it infuriate me, I'd seen myself calling her several times in a day like a fucking fool. And her acting like she didn't receive the call or anything. What did she take me for? Jake had suggested I give her the space she needed as this was nothing but a contract marriage. And I'd done just that. But for how long was I going to endure all of these? How long was I going to stay without seeing my wife? Since last week, all she had done was send over every gift we had gotten from the wedding and after to my condo, telling me it belonged to me and that she didn't need it. How condescending of her to think because Atrix Communications was on the g

    SEKANI: Once he was gone, I broke into a bout of tears. I hadn't shed a tear in a long time. These memories hadn't returned since I could last remember. I remembered only crying over Sean and what he had done to me a few times while I was pregnant and while Mya was a baby. After that, I was soon over it, not even getting emotional over Sean and what he did. All it was was pure and unbridled anger. Pure anger seething through me. But right now, it was pain, heartache and shame. Pure contempt and aloneness. Desolation. Once again, I was starting to feel the weight of aloneness over my head. I could barely control it as I cried and cried and cried. Nothing could stop me from feeling this way. Nothing at all. So I remained in my office, cradling my body in my arms, rocking from side to side as I let the sobs rack through my body. And by the time I was done, I pushed to my feet with great resolve. Sean? I was going to move in with him. He was right when he talked ab

    SEAN: "Oh, what a mundane world this is!" Jake cried over the phone. I leaned against the pillar close to the front door, my cell phone in my ear as I listened to him speak. I had been rubbing my fingers over my forehead for the past ten minutes, listening to Jake yell about a woman who had dumped gin right after their one-night stand. "It's a man's thing to dump a woman. Why the hell did she dump me after our one-night stand, Sean?" "She was probably running away from any future problems," I shrugged even if I knew he wasn't going to see me do that. "No strings attached, remember? You were probably being too attached on the first night. Who knows? That must have thrown her off." "No! I wasn't! I only asked if we were going to see each other again. I also asked for her contact information and what she was going to be doing next week." "Definitely sounds like you were seeing a future with her." "I only wanted to have sex! Sex!" He snapped and tossed something. I hea

    SEAN: I paced from one side of my office to the other, impatiently waiting for a response from the delivery guy I had specially paid to send the package to Sekani. An hour had passed and I was yet to hear from him. At the sound of a knock on the door, I hurried towards it, disappointed to see Jake standing in front of me when I opened the door. "Why do you look at me like I am the last person you want to see today?" "Because you are," I flopped into one of the seats. "What are you doing here?" "I've not seen my best friend in a week. His calls haven't been picked and then I am told that he's here today so I head over to his office to see him, only to be told that I am the last person who wants to see," He clutched his heart in pain. "That hurts really bad, I have to tell you." "How are you doing?" "Good," He took a seat beside me. "With you not around, things have quite been okay, I guess. Everyone respects me when you're not around." "You're being dramatic as

    SEKANI: The next morning, I woke up in a daze. I was in torment and that torment was the memories from last night. How did it happen? What had driven me to his study, one I had never stepped foot into since I could last remember? Sean was snoring softly beside me and I wore just panties and nothing on top. I tried not to move for the sake of not waking him up and having to spend the next few moments awkwardly. How could I get his fucking arm off me? It was almost the crack of dawn and the skies were starting to turn into a lighter shade of Ultramarine. Birds were starting to sing and music played softly in the background from Sean's phone. Yes, while we were having several rounds of sex and waking at intervals to his hard crotch between my buttocks, he had stopped to play music to spice up the moment. And it had done the work. After he did that, it was all me instigating it all, ignoring the warnings my brain sent to me. At that moment, nothing made sense. Only having Sean th

    SEAN:Mya was fast asleep on the couch when I got to the living room. I picked her up and took her back to her room, placing her on the bed and tucking her in before kissing her forehead goodnight. I stood there at the head of her bed for a while, watching her sleep peacefully. Mya was the reason any of this made sense because I knew I'd have taken my L and found my way. I couldn't deal with the guilt and all of these anymore but how could I just leave when I had a daughter who loved me so much? Knowing that sleep was going to be hard for me to find, I made my way to my study and decided to complete a few tasks. Thankfully, by the time I was going to be done, maybe Sekani would be fast asleep. I didn't want to get into a conversation with her and even if it was going to take just one night of not speaking to each other again, I could survive it. I was ten minutes into finishing up a few documents when I heard the sound of the door clicking open. I looked up to see Sekan

    SEAN: Spending the whole day with Mya had been nice, but worrying over Sekani and her whereabouts didn't allow me enjoy it to the fullest. I tried to be the most playful around Mya but I could tell she didn't believe I was. She constantly asks if I was sad until I forced myself to be overly happy. Things you did for the women you loved. I was going to do anything to make Sure Mya was happy. I kept checking Sekani's twitter page to see if she was going to make any post. I was already used to anticipating her posts as I had spent the last five days stalking her page and following whatever was going on in her life. And now that she was out, I found myself doing the same thing. It wasn't until eight o'clock she called me, sounding a little bit drunk. Her words slurred and I got more worried. She was probably calling me because she got lost. I was sure Sekani would never call me now matter what the hell was happening and now that she did, I was kind of happy that she actual

    SEKANI: I dressed casually today. It was Sunday and also a beautiful day. And thankfully, I had started my morning on a good note. There was something about going to that cliff that made me realize life could be beautiful and enjoyed. Something about it that reminded me we only lived once. So I decided within myself to spend my weekends doing nothing but having the time of my life. But now, how could I have the time of my life with Sean in it? How could I enjoy it with the reminder that someone who had wronged me in the past was also enjoying it with me? It felt like I was going round and round in circles because hell, I shared Sean to suffer and somehow, I hadn't even achieved a thing that made me proud of the fact that I actually did. Nothing I had planned seemed to work. It was either irrelevant or just something I didn't do. And as I drove out of the gates of the house, I made a mental note to harden my heart. I made a mental note not to look at Mya and decided agains

    SEKANI: Sean was quick to catch and stabilize me and when I tried pulling away, he held me from moving and shut the door behind me. Even in the dimly lit room, I could see how his eyes dropped intensely onto mine. I could see how they swirled with so much intensity. "Sekani," He muttered under his breath. "Can we talk now?" "There are several places to talk and you choose this place?" I asked, raising my brows in askance. "Why choose here of all places?" "Let's not act like we don't know you've been avoiding me since my return. This was the only place I could get you," He pulled away from me and folded one arm over the other before turning towards the door. "I haven't been avoiding you," I replied. "I have only been on my own. Doing my own things like I usually do. We have never done anything together and you could have simply told me you wanted to speak to me." He scoffed and raked his fingers through his hair. "Really? When have you ever given me the c

    SEAN: "My name is Mya Salvador," Mya spoke slowly and politely. I'd never seen such an active child mellow to my mother and this was the first since she greatly disliked kids. I could tell my grandmother was already in love with her. From the way she smiled and spoke, they both enjoyed a wonderful conversation. So I decided to leave the kitchen in search of Sekani. I made my way over to the living room but it was void of her presence. Whistling, I made my way to the room in a way to alert her that I was coming to see her. But then, I got to her room and didn't see her there. Frowning, I stopped by the door and stared into the room, void of her presence. None of her clothes hung around. No sign of her at all. I walked into the room and took a seat on the side of her bed. I ran my hands on the sheets, imagining she was there and I was caressing her body. I slept beside her last night and yet, she felt so far. So distant. I couldn't reach out to her as I was very scared of b

    SEKANI: By the time I arrived home, it was almost dusk and I could already tell that Sean was in the kitchen making dinner once again. Mya was also in the kitchen and as I walked into the house, I heard her chirpy voice in the kitchen, asking Sean all sorts of annoying questions he kept answering her. It was finally nice to have him back. Now, Mya could disturb someone else that wasn't me. Without going into the kitchen as I was avoiding Sean at all costs, I made my way into the room, took off my clothes, and decided that the food I had shared with the girls was enough. And tomorrow was Sunday so there was really nothing to do. I checked the time to see it was a few minutes after seven o'clock. Watching movies on Netflix wasn't a bad idea so I did just that, opening up my laptop and logging in before spending over thirty minutes looking for a suitable movie to watch. Well, I found one. It was a historical romance movie set in France and it was something I could

    SEKANI: After what happened last night with me losing my guard, I promised myself not to let it happen again. For a man who had disappeared all of a sudden a week ago, I shouldn't have even let him touch my skin. It was a mistake and I wasn't going to let it repeat itself. After breakfast, I went back to the room we shared, got cleaned up, and slipped into a sundress. I had a day out with Yuri, Amelia, and Toni. It had been months since we last hung out and now that our schedules finally aligned with no one sick or tired, as snatched up the opportunity and decided to hang out. We were going to be having a picnic at the beach and Toni had taken that upon herself, asking me to come along with bottles of wine. I took my toke today, applying skincare and light makeup before putting on my jewelry and snatching my handbag from the shelves in the walk-in closet built into Sean's room. When I got to the living room, Mya was seated on the beanbag with Sean on the floor besid
