“What?" Cole got the message. “You heard nothing from me !! Nothing at all" I yelled, falling back to the chair. Cole placed his hand on his waist and paced around confused. “You mean what the press and the media are saying about their love story is a lie? Wait, Irene had to marry him for the company? Fuck! “ He paced, confused and in pain. I sat down silently wishing I never had it get out of my mouth. He might tell his over ambitious mom and that might be the end of me. " Listen, this was never to go out! Irene is happy now. Damien wasn't as bad as we thought” I defended. Cole bent down in front of me and took my hands. “I am not betraying you or my sister. You don't have to fight yourself for it" he massaged my hands. I looked at him and I felt the strange urge to trust him. “Not a word of this Cole" my eyes begged with desperation. He held his lips and smiled back “sealed!" He responded. My heart beat slowly returned to normal after. “Why did you leave Cabin city aft
“I can't betray Irene" I voiced out my pain. Cole cupped my face and made the ‘shiii’ sound. " You are not betraying anybody, Madison. You are telling me if you want me or not. Do you want us? “ He asked, staring without blinking. My throat went dry and my joints numb. I looked away but he held back my face. “Do you like me half as much as I love you?" He asked. I shamelessly nodded ‘yes’ and that was the beginning of the drama. Cole smiled extremely satisfied and hugged me tightly. “I love you Maddie" he kissed my hair. That night was the longest night for me. Even in Cole's arms, I found it really difficult to blink my eyes. “Why? What's wrong? Cole's voice deepened. He turned on the lamp and supported himself with his hand. "You have been awake, you don't like the mattress? You are not comfortable with me here? I could use the couch if you don't mind” he suggested. I rolled my eyes and hissed. Cole was always fond of blaming himself for everything and it was bor
In the heat of the moment, Cole's energy was multiplied, his moanings became so loud that I got scared. I knew he was very close to climax. Cole cummed inside me and laid on top of me. He gently leaned off and caught his breath. I got up and walked to the bathroom to clean up. I wasn't disappointed at Cole despite not reaching climax, I enjoyed every bit of him. Cole walked in and wrapped his hands on my waist, playing with my waist beads. “Hey" he kissed my cheeks. I smiled back, staring at him from the mirror. Cole had questions and he couldn't say it. “You did great. I had a great time. '' I touched his face. Cole smiled in satisfaction and fulfillment. He held me tight and kept kissing my neck. “You almost killed me Maddie, I could barely breathe". Cole's words came out shamelessly. My cheeks were red and it hurt from my wide smiles. At dawn, I woke up to kisses and cuddles from Cole. He gave me butterfly kisses all over and pulled into his arms. “Good mornin
Cole's POV. I kept staring at Madison till she walked to her apartment. It was safe to say that I have fallen for this curvy woman. I smiled sheeply and smiled before I signaled the taxi driver to drive off. I dropped by the gym where I worked as an instructor. Three weeks ago, I had a big fight with my mom. Since we fled Cabin city five months ago, she has been going from one club to the other, gambling, drinking and buying things we don't need. All I had to do was stay at home and make sure the house was in order. After our fight, I left Los Angeles and returned to Cabin city to start all over with Madison. I had come across my sister a few times before her kidnap and I couldn't bring myself to face her. I will quickly look away or walk away anytime I see her. Her husband's men were another restriction. Everybody in Cabin city knew how powerful her husband was and messing with him meant death or imprisonment for life. All I wanted was to get an audience with Madison
I got to the left wing and I saw a large portrait of my father and Irene. It was beautiful, a young man and his five or six years old daughter in his arms, was a beauty to behold. I stared at it a while longer and I felt like a peg pierced my skin. "Dad never had a picture with me" I whispered to myself. "How about this room sir" the butler asked, opening the door for me to have a look. It was nice. I have never had a room that size before. It looked like a five star hostel room. "I will take it, '' I said walking inside. It has a walk-in closet, a couch, a bedside stool and lamp, a bookshelf, a mini table, king size bed, a water dispenser and a mini refrigerator. I nodded in satisfaction and admired the interior designs on the wall. Immediately the butler walked out, I fell on the bed, slowly I dozed off. I woke up at 11:47 pm and realized I still had my clothes on. I quickly took off my clothes and ran a cold shower to cool my nerves. I spent almost 20 minutes before gett
That was the beginning of my failure as an executive. It was time for the meeting and my mom walked to the board room with her head up high. I walked behind her as a stray puppy. I took my seat at the head of the table and my mother's gaze almost choked me. I got off from the seat in front of the board members and she took the seat. The surprised looks and mockful gestures of some of the board members proved that I had failed on my first day. I bowed my head throughout the meeting. My mom had no clue of what they talked about but she acted she knew. After two long hours of blunders, the meeting finally ended. I left my mom in the boardroom where she flirted with some board members all in the name of connecting. I walked to the office and met the most beautiful woman in the world. I was speechless as soon as I saw her. She looked at me and looked away. “I am clearing up for you sir". She sounded professional but I could sense blame in her voice. “What's your name?" I asked, m
I kept quiet and allowed her to express herself through yelling and cursing. “You should be leaving" she finally calmed down and pointed at the door. I got up from my seat and tried to hold her hands but she moved away. “Honestly, I wish I could do something to fix all this. I never wanted all of this" I almost broke down. Madison's rejection purged my emotions. As soon as those words left my mouth, her expression softened. She stared at me and fell back to the sofa. "Why aren't you at work? “ She asked, coldly. I took a seat beside her without her permission and answered her. "I don't know what to do. It is more like I am in space. Everything feels strange” I explained. "I asked for an assistant but mom kicked against it” I concluded. Madison and I were keeping moments of silence like we were in a mourning site. As I was about to break the silence,she also had something to say too. " It's fine. You can go first” I quickly responded. Madison took a deep breath before
Miss Blue was nothing like Mr Philip. She smiled happily and asked for my contact information. “I will send you a text on when I will like us to begin" she winked at me. I smiled back and turned to Mr Brown. “I will be on my way now Sir". Mr Brown totally disagreed with my decision to leave. He asked Phoebe to get me warm milk and cookies. I thanked him and went to the kitchen with Phoebe. Phoebe was more excited to serve me cookies than my stomach. She was smiling, excited about the idea of serving me. I sat at the high stool beside the kitchen cabinet and munched on the cookies. In the kitchen, I could still hear Mr Philip spilling hate about me. “Something about that boy just piss me off" he hissed. I pretended not to hear them and rather concentrate on whatever Phoebe had to say. “Philip, you are only upset about the fact that he wasn't moved by what you said! Let him be Phil", I heard Miss Blue defending me. The third guest added fuel to the fire Miss Blue had tamed. "
Two years later: Two years later and I still couldn’t stop gushing over my woman. Irene was perfect in her wedding dress. I stood at the altar with Raymond behind me and watched her walk down the aisle with her dad. Her wedding dress enhanced all her curves and complimented her beauty. She was my own monalisa. The music stopped as soon as she got to the altar. She stood in front of me and I could tell that she was blushing. I took her hands as directed by the officiating priest and it was time to exchange our wedding vows. I took a deep breath and looked at all the guests present. I looked at Madison who held her baby, Cole who was wearing the brightest smile in the room, her dad who was really emotional and my daughter amongst other guests. Chole sat down in the first roll with her phone, ready to capture as many moments as possible. She gave me a thumbs up and a smile. Chole was extremely gorgeous in her pink lace dress. I turned my attention to the epitome of beau
It has been five days and a case has already been filed. Cole had given his testimony and Raymond had submitted the cctv footage to my lawyer as evidence. Chole had been discharged and she was staying at Irene's father's house with Cole and Madison. I was still at the hospital with my wife, watching up every morning expecting her to breathe and call my name. I looked outside the window and sighed heavily. My life was going through circles. I feared Irene would leave me the same way Sylvia did. I was confused and scared. The doctor has been assuring me since day one that she would be fine. It was almost a week, five working days and she has been the same. “Good morning Mr Damien '' , I heard Cole’s voice. He walked in with a simple smile and a food flask. “You didn’t have to bro” I responded weakly. He dropped the flask by the drawer and sat next to Irene. “You didn’t eat last night. You need strength to take care of Irene, Chole and me” he smiled. My stomach grumbled
Damien went berserk when the police informed him about the accident. He yelled “my wife and my baby!”. Damien moved past the police and I followed him. We got to the scene and it was Irene’s car. My hands were shaking, my whole body was covered with goosebumps. Damien rushed through the police and got to the car. He banged the car and cried in frustration. I walked to him and held his hand. The paramedics helped in bringing out chole. She had a few cuts from the glass but she passed out. They carried her to the other ambulance. The other team brought out my sister and it was bad. Very bad. She was bleeding everywhere and it was very obvious that she had broken bones. Damien squeezed my hand as he saw his wife. We were restricted by the police from coming closer to her. Damien got back to the car and drove in a rush to the hospital. As we waited in the waiting room, Madison and Dad rushed in. they were more panicked than we were. I hugged Madison and assured her all was going
ANNABEL’S POV. “Good morning baby”, Joses kissed my cheeks with a warm smile on his face. I stretched my hands and yawned tiredly. “Good morning “ I responded. I was living my best three days after Damien almost ruined my life. I noticed he had brought me breakfast and I smiled warmly as I took it from him. Joses left to get my vitamins. After trying all I could to get Jose back, I finally got the idea. All he wanted was money to get a yacht. I called in my lawyer and made a few of my properties up for sale. In two days, I got a buyer and signed the necessary documents. I called Joses. He eventually agreed to meet me. As soon as he walked in, I handed him the check he needed for his yacht. He hugged me spinned me around and kissed me. Since that day,he has worshiped me. I started getting back my life together. I had all the pleasure I needed, money and beauty. He got back with the vitamins and handed them to me. “How did it go last night?” he asked curiously. I
Tears ran down my face as I watched the final session of the interview. I couldn’t understand how the universe found me fortunate enough to have a god for a husband. Damien is a dream come through for me. “Mommy, I am done” Chole’s voice was a prompt for me to wipe my face. I cleaned my face and went through what she had written. “Good girl” I applauded. That evening, we ate dinner alone without Damien. At 10pm, Damien got back stressed and tired. He skipped dinner and went straight to bed. The next morning, I was up and popping. I was getting back to work after a long time and I had planned to make my husband breakfast. I got to the kitchen and started cooking. In no time, I was done. I served it on the best tray in the mansion and carried it upstairs myself. I gently pushed the door and placed the tray on the bed. I hung the curtains and leaned over to kiss him. I gave him a warm passionate french kiss. Damien moaned softly from his sleep as he woke up. “Good mor
“Hey!! Why are you two fighting over my best friend’s baby?” I joined their argument. “You should give a grand kid too” my dad fired back. With just one statement, I was off track. I laughed and listened to them argue over and over. After a while, my dad turned his attention to me. “ Irene, how is your husband? I still remembered how I fought tirelessly with him when I learnt about your marriage to him” he laughed. “Cole, i almost shot Damien on the head” he laughed harder. “I am glad Madison was able to make me see reasons. He takes care of you and the company too. I couldn’t have wished for a more competent inlaw” he bragged. Cole nodded and agreed immediately. “Dad, he is a great husband to my sister, '' Cole added and said many things that I couldn't pay much attention to. As soon as the word ‘sister’ left his mouth, I felt goosebumps. I felt emotional immediately and felt like hugging him. I didn’t know what was coming over me, so I got up from my seat and h
Damien laughed and cuddled me tightly. He held me close to himself like I was going to sneak off as soon as he left me. “You didn’t answer me baby” he whispered to my ears. “How are you feeling? Are you cramping?” He asked with all concern in his voice. I adjusted myself in his arms till I felt comfortable. “No daddy! I barely feel anything “. Damien gently touched my abdomen and caressed as his hands were in direct contact with my skin. I slept off earlier than our bed time and it made waking up early easier. At 3:49 am the next day, I woke up. I gently took my husband’s hand off my breast and walked to the bathroom. I got back from the bathroom and stared at how peaceful my husband was sleeping. He looked totally harmless and cute. I turned on the lights and tried to click a picture when he moved his eyelids. Damien smiled from his sleep without opening his eyes. I took a picture regardless but as I was about to click the next picture, he made a pose with his fingers.
Irene’s POV. I woke up to the warm kisses of my darling husband. As I opened my eyes, he kissed my lips again with a sweet smile on his face. “Hey mama”, he leaned away and took off his cufflinks. “You went out? Why all dressed?” I yawned lazily as I sat up. Damien smiled without words and walked into the closet to get changed. I got out of bed and noticed I had messed up the sheets. My period had been delayed for almost a week and the situations around the company and my family totally took my mind off it. As I tried changing the sheets, Damien’s voice startled me. “What’s that?” He asked with his hands folded behind his back. He looked like a mean grandpa with his golf outfit. I stuttered in speech before I finally found the right words. “Nothing, I am changing the sheets' ' I responded. Damien smirked and walked to me and held my waist. “Not that, The stain on your outfit. I know what it is now” he leaned and whispered to my ears. I was embarrassed but it didn’t s
As soon as she hung up my phone fell from my hand. What did she mean by I am being sued by Damien?. I was still in confusion when Joses barged in with so much anger in his eyes. “What is going on? Why is everything turning off? What the hell!! You promised me this was going to work!” He yelled. I was too shocked and confused to understand all that was happening. “Baby boy, you need to calm down and explain it slowly. What are you talking about? Why are the legal team withdrawing?” I asked, trying to touch him. He pulled himself away gently and paced around the room. The tension in the room was so high that I started feeling my stomach rumbling. “Haven’t you seen the news?” He blasted out of nowhere. I nodded my head as his question sounded familiar with what Barr. Glow asked over the phone. “What the hell!! “ he hissed. “Calm down Baby J, I just woke up” I whined. He stared at me with disgust and it offended me. I didn’t know how and what I was supposed to do. “ It's
