When Matthew got to Nanny’s room, Sophia was laying so weak on the bed. He stood, took a deep breath, and glanced around the room.The room was neatly arranged and smelt nice. On the large bed was a big white teddy bear that had a welcoming smile that made Matthew quite guilty as he saw Mattew cuddling it.As he walked to the bed, he noticed Sophia’s eyes were open and her face was swollen. Without saying a word, he planted a kiss on her forehead with a pale accompanying gaze implying that he was sorry.He knew Sophia would be mad at him so he just sat innocently by the side of the bed waiting for the arrival of Nanny.For two months he left the house, he has been pretty busy with business in LILI HILLS. These two past months, business has been booming and Kayla has done pretty well, helping the business to grow. They got consumers from other countries every day so he couldn't possibly leave all the deals for Kayla. Last week, he took Kayla to England to spend two weeks with her a
The beauty of the mansion is as bright as the sky.For two days now, Matthew has not left for the other mansion. Kayla has been in charge of everything. One good thing about Kayla is that she would never disturb his phone for any reason.Kayla is 37 years old while Sophia is just 25 years old. Kayla is older than Matthew himself by two years.One of the reasons Matthew would keep sticking with her is because of their maturity. Somehow, Kayla respected the fact that Matthew, her boyfriend, was married and he needed some time with his wife. He was not a man who was interested in marriage and could never be. So, she could not force her will against his decision; besides, she was not interested in Marriage either. She has a kid already and is satisfied with her kid and all the wealth she has made.However, despite all the cars in the compound, Matthew still bought Sophia one of the latest Buggahtti’s yesterday to bribe his way back into her life.The car, however, had been the reas
The alarm clock struck at 5:30 am. Joana stretched her body on the bed trying to get sleep off her eyes. It has been a sweet rest and she wished the morning did not come too suddenly.She yawned, closing her mouth. Getting up from bed, she said a word of prayer as she had been taught by her late mom to do.The smile on her face br try1oadened as she took her phone to call the love of her life; Shawn and waited for it to ring.Life in Los Angeles is pretty lovely. The air and everything were different and she loved her new life there. For once, Joana was happy to live independently. Although she missed her family she wanted that independence.Back in Atlanta, she never believed the company would make her transfer an obligation but suddenly, she was called by her boss that a few changes were made in the company which affected her position and she had to leave that day.Well, she had not regretted anything since her stay in Los Angeles because she felt at home and settled easily.
The clouds swallowed up Joana’s smiles replacing it with a grimace that proceeded from a place of brokenness. As her cab drove home, she lost the strength to do anything and communicate with anyone on the phone. Immediately she got out of the cab, the black convoy that drove past in the morning drove past her again. This time, Joana assumed the new neighbor was back home too.Shawn has been calling since morning but Joana refused to listen to him or even read his messages. To her, it was worthless to listen to Shawn because the evidence was clear and from all indications, Shawn was cheating on her.When Joana managed to get inside, She locked the door behind her and collapsed on the couch sobbing. Not long, she slept off due to how exhausted she was. At about 7 pm that evening , she jerked from her sleep. Someone was knocking loudly at her door. Glancing at the fancy digital clock standing near the TV set, It was some minutes past 7 pm and Joana wondered who it was that was kn
The gaze of the handsome young man got Joana upset. He was acting like the president's son and this got Joana irritated. He was tall and had sickle-shaped eyebrows and a shapely face. His sloe-shaped eyes complemented his round face and Hawkish nose perfectly. His golden hair was all curled to perfection and his mountain check-bone appeared chiseled and well-sculpted on his face.“ Let’s get going Joana, this might be another Shawn. He is so weird” Kelly curled her lips, firing a mischievous shot at the fine young man. “ Such an arrogant jerk” Joana gave out a loud irritating burp that soon polluted everywhere.After several glasses of Vodka, Joana, and Kelly stood up to leave, pouring all their aggravation on the young man who just sat sipping his wine like the world revolved around him.They stood up to leave but staggered on each other’s bodies and just managed to take a few steps outside to see if they could get a cab home.Outside, they leaned on each other's bodies for sup
After the day’s work that Friday afternoon, Joana and Kelly couldn't stop talking about the man from the lounge while in the cab.Everything that happened after they got drunk yesterday was erased from their minds, making them completely oblivious to the fact that he was the one who helped them get back home.Kelly already had a cool name that suited his personality while Joana called him ‘ the arrogant man. The fact that he showed up in the company and was seen having a meeting with the CEO got them pretty curious. “ Gosh! I hate proud people. Don't you think the peacock is Stalking us? Why did he show up in the company all of a sudden?” Kelly curled her lips in disdain.“ I don't think he's a stalker, Kelly. We don't know him, remember? He is just some stranger that we unfortunately ran into. We were drunk too” She lowered her voice at the sudden embarrassment that comes from being drunk. The fact that she drank herself into a stupor because of Shawn made her question her sanity
The days turned rapidly to a full month; completing the year. The seasons had their beauty and joy as virtually everyone believed Christ was the glory of the season. As Christmas drew near, the joy however affected everyone in the Whyne family. Sophia has been dreaming of celebrating Christmas remarkably and memorably with her husband and her father in a way she had never done.From what she learned, Joana would be returning to Atlanta too, and go back once Christmas is over. As the sun took away its bright light from the earth, it cast an orange light, bringing dusk systematically to the city.For days now, Matthew’s head had been throbbing with a chronic headache that had defiled medication. Sophia did not let Matthew have his peace for once. It was either she was wailing over her not getting pregnant or the fact that she wanted their marriage to be a real one.Wrapped with these challenges, Matthew took his car keys and drove out to cool off from her nuisance in his mansion
Dinner was insipid for Sophia that Saturday evening after Matthew had left her. She could feel a sharp knife slicing her throat as she took a spoon of the cobb salad and masticated it reluctantly in her mouth until it formed a bolus ready to be digested but she suddenly regurgitated and emitted everything out.“ Are you okay, Madam?” Chris’s baritone struck, sending goosebumps to grow on Sophia’s flawless skin.He was fixing one of the faulty bulbs outside when he walked in and saw Sophia emitting on the floor in the large dining room.Like ice, so Sophia was defrosted at the sound of his voice.She turned back to the direction of his voice sustaining the cutleries in her hands up in the air.“ Ermmm… I’m fine” Her shaky voice managed to be heard by the walls around her.A flush of awkwardness swirled the air as Chris took some steps forward to the dining table. Sophia's brow furrowed, as she lifted her gaze at his deep captivating handsome face and his sharp eyes captured her pale
