Albert needed to be close or in the company to hack into the contact of those inside it. I had given him Monica’s contact I got from her modeling agency and asked him to search for anyone who had similar contact in my company. I saw a number that was on display and it had a series of calls to Monica and texts. I chuckled bitterly as I dialed the number on my phone. As I dialed it, I kept my ears attentive and my doubt was confirmed. Rita’s device was beeping. She looked at me and walked towards me. “Boss, you called”. I stared at her disappointed. I walked away from her and stood in front of the staff members. “You all can return to your duties! Let this be history! You are risking your job, your life if any of you indulges in this in the future” I warned. I waited till they all left the conference room before turning to Rita. “Rita, I had my doubts. I won’t ask you again and better don’t make up stories or deny anything!”. I was upset and Rita knew exactly what I meant.
“They are….” I lost words but Irene completed. “Beautiful “. After breakfast, I made a post about my birthday. The day before, I was too busy to make a post. My post was the biggest news on the blogs that day. I had more parcels from my business partners. Irene and I unboxed the parcels together and it was fun. Irene’s POV. Damien had the maids move back my things to his word. We spent the whole day arranging and unboxing parcels. I felt alive after expressing my feelings for Damien. The next day, I left for the company after fixing breakfast for Damien. Damien laid all night on my breast and refused to allow me move a muscle. I got out of bed after pacifying him to left go of his new habit. I made breakfast for Chole, Damien and myself. After serving Chloe at the table, I went upstairs with a tray for Damien. “Good morning baby” I dropped the tray on the table and went to meet him on bed. “Honey “, Damien yawned, pulling me to his arms. I giggled, kissing h
I sniffed my nose into Damien's handkerchief and wiped off the sweats on my face and walked ahead of Damien. Damien sat down at the waiting area in the hallway giving me and Madison privacy. As soon as I walked in, Madison sat down hurriedly. I handed her phone over to her and sat down at the only chair in the room. '`How are you feeling?", my words came out dry. Madison was tense. I could see it in my eyes. She has been my friend since high school and I knew her just like my reflection. “ Maddie", I stood up, sitting next to her on bed. “You don't need to be tense. I am here for you", I slowly massaged her shoulder. Madison nodded almost in tears and hugged me tightly. “ I don't know how I am supposed to feel, Irene. I promise you, I wasn't thinking. I didn't know it was going to end up like this. I tried to tell you… “. I knew Madison was panicking and crying because her voice was breaking. " Shi… " I wiped her eyes and smiled warmly at her. “Come on Madison! You did nothi
I froze at the window as he walked out from the kitchen with an apron on. “Cole? You are here?" I stuttered. Cole sat down on the couch angrily. It was the first time I had seen him angry since we have been together. Cole was boiling hot and all I could do was stay put at the window. “Madison, I am tired. I am tired of hiding you, hiding away from you because my sister will cause a scene” he blew out. " Cole, please. Calm down. You are scaring me” I pleaded. Cole raised his head and stared at me without a word. "Cole, I wasn't aware you were home or in the kitchen. I promise “. My words fell on deaf ears. Cole was breathing hard without listening to me. After a while, he calmed down and looked at me softly. “How are you? What happened? Why were you at the hospital?" He asked all at once. I swallowed my saliva as my heart kept beating fast. “I am fine" . As my words left my mouth, Cole sorted out the vitamins Irene got for me from the pharmacy. “Vitamins" Cole whispered as
Cole was frowning all through the phone call. He was unnecessarily disturbed. As soon as he hung up, he looked at me and immediately I knew he had lost appetite. " My Mom is back to Cabin city “ Cole broke the news. I swallowed the bread in my mouth and stared at him clueless. “Damn!" Cole punched the table. “Calm down Cole, why is she back?" I asked, without a clue. Cole sat down and hissed, frowning and mummuring. “I don't know but all I know is that it is definitely bad news! She is up to no good!" He spilled. The news of his mother's return disturbed Cole greatly. He freshened up and picked up his gym bag. He kissed my lips and gave me instructions like I was a baby. “Take care, call me if you need anything or call Irene. Don't think too much, don't stress too much, watch movies, rest ok. Don't forget your vitamins". I chuckled and nodded, kissing him back. As soon as Cole left for the gym, I got bored. I dressed up and went out for groceries shopping. I got back and
I got back to my apartment and received payment for the week from my boss. I hurriedly sent Madison half of it for the baby. I knew my salary will be barely enough when the baby comes, and I started brainstorming on ideas to get new source of income. I spent all evening thinking before freshening up. I got ready to go to Madison's. On my way, I got her favorite Ice cream. I knocked at the door and immediately let myself in. Madison was napping on the couch. I bent down in front of her and kissed her lips. “Hey baby girl, how are you feeling?" I smiled as she blinked her eyes. Madison sat up yawning at my face. “Cole" she placed her hand on my shoulder as she robbed her eyes. “I don't like this. I was so bored at home” she whinne. I chukled, getting up from my knee. I handed her the ice cream I had gotten for her. " Thank you honey” she kissed my cheeks. " How was your day? “ She asked, opening the ice cream bowl. I dropped my bag behind the couch and loosen my buttons. " Sw
" Cole? You? “ He walked towards where I was and touched my wirst to be sure he wasn't talking to a ghost. " What are you doing here? “ He asked, taking a seat. He looked at the nurse and dismissed her. I sat down as soon as she walked out from the door. I was nervous aand sweating under my feet. I felt my socks getting wet and My heart tightened. “I am sorry for coming unannounced" I managed to say. My dad looked at me and chuckled weakly. “Cole, this is your father's house! You don't need to appologized for walking in". My dad's words were strange to me. “Father's house?" It was like I just realized he was my father. “I wasn't expecting you Cole , I heard you ran away from the City. When did you come back?" He asked, after a long term silence between us. “I … “ I cleared my throat nervously. " I have been around for two months Sir “ I responded. My Dad looked at me and shook his head. " Two months and you are just coming to see me? Cole? “ He sounded disappoint
I spent time with my dad till Madison called. Madison: Cole, where are you?Me: I am at Dad's.Madison: (shocked) Are you serious?Me: yes baby. How are you feeling?My dad: Is that Madison? (I handed my phone over to him). Hello baby girl. How are you feeling?Madison: Hi Dad, good afternoon. I am fine, how is your health?.My dad: I a better now, Maddie. I am going to be a grandpa (He laughed)Madison: Yes dad. He told you already.My dad: Yes he did. Take care of yourself girl. I will see you at dinner by the weekend. As soon as Madison hung up, I stared at my dad surprised. “Don't be surprised Cole. Just bring my daughter in law over by the weekend. I would like to have dinner with you two" he said, walking towards the garden. I nodded and walked behind him. He handed my phone over to me and looked at the phone with a smirk. “Cole, I am the old man here. Why are you acting like an old man" he teased. “How is dad?" I asked, keeping my phone in my pocket. He laughe
